Hong Kong Refund Law Debates Work for Bitcoin (BTC)!

Hong Kong Refund Law Debates Work for Bitcoin (BTC)!




In Hong Kong, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets, despite the postponement of the legal arrangement that facilitated the extradition of suspects to mainland China. There is serious unrest in the country at the moment and the demonstrators want the legal regulation to be completely canceled. In addition, protesters call for the resignation of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region leader Carrie Lam.

According to Reuters, some Hong Kong businessmen are taking their wealth out of the country via personal off-shore because they are concerned about the legislation that facilitates extradition to mainland China.

People Turn to Bitcoin (BTC) Since protests began, Bitcoin prices in the country have traded 75 to 100 dollars above Bitcoin’s global price average. Moreover, Hong Kong has recently faced major liquidity problems due to trade tensions between China and the United States. Hong Kong citizens fear that the adoption of such a law would trigger higher capital outflows and thus the liquidity problem would grow further.

The protests in Hong Kong led to a huge increase in Bitcoin trade in Hong Kong, as evidenced by data from LocalBitcoins. So much so that the price of Bitcoin in Hong Kong rose from the global value of the leading crypto currency to over $ 100. BTC / HKD trading volume is increasing day by day and people who want to escape the increasing economic uncertainty are turning to Bitcoin.

Even though the legislation has been postponed for the time being, Hong Kong officials reportedly want to send the legislation again to the legislature for approval.

Iranian Atomic Energy Authority spokesperson Behruz Kamalvandi said Iran would exceed internationally recognized limits on the size of Iran's low-enriched uranium stock in 10 days; however, European countries still have time to recover the nuclear deal, he said.

Kamalvandi "We had quadrupled the rate of enriched uranium, we have increased it more recently. So 300 kilograms limit will be exceeded in 10 days ... There is still time for European countries to take steps," he said.

Tehran protested the US decision to withdraw from the nuclear agreement last year and re-enforce sanctions, saying it would stop implementing its commitments under the nuclear agreement.

The public is forced to work with many economic hardships and high salaries that are low enough to eat only for very low hours. Since the population of the country is very large, it is estimated that the number of people with the most crypto money in the world is among the top 3 in China.

Litecoin up 10 percent

Litecoin up 10 percent



Litecoin price has increased dramatically in recent days. The recent rise of LTC, one of the biggest crypto currency investments among the crypto currencies, is closely related to the whole crypto currency market. The price of Bitcoin rose by 4%, at $ 140, which gives Litecoin traders the opportunity to make new investments and gain profits.

Similarly, Bitcoin can move around $ 8,000, but it doesn't seem to be as high as $ 8,000. The rise in the Bitcoin price also raised the prices of some of the subcoins, while Litecoin was again the most valued.


 
After the Litecoin price rises so well, some LTC traders sell, while others think that avoiding profit sales will bring them more in the future. Due to the price increase of BTC, LTC is also expected to maintain its price for a period of time and continue to increase without significant value losses. In order to increase the LTC price, profit sales should be low and purchases should be more. 
According to analysts, the biggest reason behind the rise of LTC is the halving event in August.

A New Method Became a Nightmare for Crypto Money Traders!



As the price of crypto currencies rises, so do the number and methods of scammers targeting crypto currency investors or exchanges. One of the most popular methods of recent times is the so-called SIM swap, which basically involves copying SIM cards. Nicholas J. Percoco, the senior manager in charge of security at the Kraken crypto exchange, said in a statement that the US-based users should be careful with the SIM copying process and warned everyone:

- Nicholas J. Percoco (@ c7five) June 8, 2019



In fact, the method has been known since the beginning of 2018, when the SIM copying process has made great accents. The method basically aims to copy your SIM card by tricking your phone operator and accessing your account through the SMS method of exchanges.

The best way to protect yourself against this attack is to use 2FA and not to trade on stock exchanges without the 2FA method.

Squanch, one of the leading figures in the crypto currency industry, also shared a very detailed series of tweets on the subject and pointed out that investors should be careful.

SW SIM SWAPPING / JACKING ”is a hacker who has tricked your phone operator into getting a copy of your sim card in recent months.

Facebook's Crypto Currency Will Add Power to Bitcoin's Power!

Facebook's Crypto Currency Will Add Power to Bitcoin's Power!



According to news, leaks and allegations, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) will soon launch the crypto currency project Libra, which users can use on their platforms (including Messenger and WhatsApp). Probably anyone with an account on these platforms will be able to trade for physical purchases, such as online purchases or any grocery store or restaurant.

Facebook announced that it would elaborate on the announcement of the expected crypto currency on June 18 and confirmed that the value of the crypto currency would be a “stablecoin bağlı that would be tied to a fiat currency basket.



Well, Facebook's crypto currency, what it means, what will change, what will bring with you, let's look more closely.

Facebook's crypto currency will be a good force in developing countries where the company wants to market its product…

So why? Because central banks in developing countries are often renowned for lack of discipline to maintain the value of de facto currencies that have lost their purchasing power. The best example of this is Venezuela, which suffered worse inflation than Germany after the First World War.

At this point, Facebook will provide citizens of developing countries with access to a more reliable store of value than government-backed currencies, and Facebook's crypto currency will indirectly bring fiscal and monetary discipline to developing countries. This will indirectly improve the lives of many people.

Facebook crypto currency will lead to populist calls for the cancellation of subsidies to banks at the heart of the US banking system…

Facebook's crypto currency will lead to populist calls for the cancellation of subsidies to banks at the heart of the US banking system. Because Facebook's crypto currency will provide great benefits to users. Because the assets that support the crypto currency will generate interest income. If Facebook does not share its benefits with its users, it may remain in the midst of criticism.

Well, Facebook will save what you like with the crypto benefit. Facebook, the entire US dollar balance through the Federal Reserve'de interest through one of the bank partners to invest $ 10 million per month will be $ 235 million in earnings. If this is not shared with users, politically Facebook may find itself in the midst of criticism.

Currently, the Fed's actual interest rate on its member banks from surplus reserve interest (IOER) is 2.35%.

Instead of sharing such gains with other customers, other stabilcoin providers put almost all of them into their pockets. However, the number of Facebook's potential customers may cause a big upturn and the company will not be able to do so. Because Facebook's stablecoin will be so big and visible that it can't handle it. Therefore, he will not be able to sweep his gains under the carpet.

Facebook's foundation will grow to gain great power in global capital markets…

Facebook plans to reduce the management control of the crypto money project to an independent foundation it recently established in Switzerland. This makes sense because Facebook not only strengthens its project against antitrust claims, but also helps to reduce the degree of centralization of the crypto currency.

This will enable the crypto-currency project to gain considerable strength in the global capital markets relatively quickly because it will do what the central banks do, which will define the basket weights for the actual currencies in which the value of stabilcoin is fixed and manage assets for fixing the basket. There are many strong belirleyici basket determinants Sermaye in capital markets, and their ability to move markets can be important. For example, consider the committee defining the components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJIA) or the S&P 500 Index, or the central banks, tying their money to the basket (such as China's PBOC).

Along these lines you must have understood the potential of Facebook's crypto money project. Facebook will not pay mining holders of the crypto currency because we will have a stablecoin. However, given the fact that the company does not pay interest to its users and there will be a large number of commercial volumes, there is a large interest income. It is therefore not surprising why dozens of banks want to support the project. They all want to get a share of that interest.

Facebook will shed light on the old financial regulations, but will face regulatory uncertainties in this process Facebook

Is Facebook's crypto currency a security? So will users face this with the nonsense of needing an account with commission fees to get a cup of coffee? What will Facebook do about financial regulations? With the financial regulations facing crypto currencies so far

More than 300 Crypto Money ATMs Established in May 2019

More than 300 Crypto Money ATMs Established in May 2019



Recently published data shows that more than 300 new crypto currency ATMs have been opened last month around the world.

According to data provided by Coinatmradar, where crypto money ATMs around the world can be tracked, a large number of ATMs were opened last month. In fact, the total number of ATMs opened in May 2019 was at the record level of the last year.

Crypto money ATM operators installed 306 different ATMs around the world last month, thus increasing the total number of devices from 4,690 to 4,889. This number would normally be expected to be more than 4,990, but last month new ATMs were opened and some ATMs were removed.



Since Coinatmradar data shows the number of ATMs opened and closed last month, the total number of ATMs worldwide can be kept more effectively. When we look at the data of last month, we can say that the total number of ATMs increased by 228 considering the closed ATMs. This number was broken in April 2018 and the number of ATMs worldwide increased by 256 at that time.

This increase in the number of ATMs seems to coincide with the increase in the crypto money market. The crypto money market began to pick up after the long-lasting bear market last month.

Crypto currency financial center from Russia to Chinese border

Crypto currency financial center from Russia to Chinese border


The Russian government is considering building a financial center for crypto money on the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island, which is located within the borders of both Russia and China.

According to the news in Bein Crypto, Russia's St. Crypto currencies were a hot topic at the International Economic Forum, which began in St. Petersburg and ended on June 8th. Many state representatives from different countries discussed this issue.

IPA President Leonid Petukhov, responsible for the development of exports and investment in Russia, said the Russian government plans to establish a financial center on the China-Russian border. This was first announced by TASS, Russia's largest news agency.

Stating that the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island on the Amur River was the first thought for this work, Petukhov said that the island, which is located within the borders of both Russia and China, would allow cooperation between the two countries.



According to Petukhov, the financial center is planned to function as a headquarters for crypto currency trading, crypto currency exchanges and other foreign exchange markets.

There are two islands that Russia currently uses as a financial center, and the residents of these islands are completely exempt from income tax on dividends and profits from the shares of foreign companies.

Leaving aside these two financial centers, which have nothing to do with crypto money, this center, planned to be implemented on the Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island, will be the first in this sense.

If we look outside Russia, we see that the Philippines already has a crypto-currency innovation center called the Cagayan Special Economic Zone. The region, which has been investing heavily since last year, is said to have made the biggest leap in the last twenty years.

Samsung starts chip production for Bitcoin mining

Samsung starts chip production for Bitcoin mining


Samsung, a multinational South Korean technology company, has reportedly designed and started manufacturing chips for Bitcoin (BTC) mining.

As reported by CryptoDaily, Samsung Foundries China general manager announced last month that the company designed 2nm and 5nm chips for Bitcoin mining. According to the company's internal documentation, Samsung has been working on this project since the beginning of last year.

Samsung has announced a strategic partnership agreement with MicroBT, the third largest Bitcoin ASIC designer.



Samsung Blockchain determined to deepen the field
Given the fact that Samsung is the world's second largest semiconductor company, Samsung's entry into the Bitcoin mining industry is no surprise.

In addition, technology giant Samsung, as you know crypto money private keys storage support, the new model has released the Galaxy S10 smartphone. This shows that the company clearly supports crypto currency.

As previously reported by IIB, the phone supports Ethereum (ETH), ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 collectible tokens. Moreover, Samsung is said to have potentially developed its own crypto currency on the Ethereum Blockchain.

As a result, Samsung is open to innovations offered by Blockchain technology and crypto currency. While Samsung Blockchain and crypto coins are all about it, their biggest rival is Apple and other tech giants. I wonder if these tech giants are doing their research on Blockchain and crypto money in secret?

Russia Thinks to Punish Crypto Money Miners

Russia Thinks to Punish Crypto Money Miners


Lawmakers in Russia are planning to punish people who are crypto money mining through open Blockchain platforms.

Anatoly Aksakov, Head of the Financial Markets Committee of the Russian State Duma, recently gave an exclusive interview to TASS from local sources. During this interview, Aksakov made some statements about crypto-money miners in the country.

Aksakov stressed that anyone who crypto money mining in the country in violation of Russian law can be considered guilty, and that mining is legally a crime.



The Russian government has been working to organize crypto coins for the last few months. A few months ago, President Vladimir Putin said that crypto currency arrangements should be completed no later than June.

Lawmakers in the country are trying to adapt to the date given by Putin, but we can say that this process has slowed down considerably in the last few weeks. According to sources such as Finance Feeds, the main reason for this slowdown is that Russian legislators try to comply with the standards prepared by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

As such, it is not known exactly what is legal and what is a violation of the law regarding crypto currency in Russia. But officials in the country, such as Aksakov, want to impose major fines on those who violate the laws currently in force.
