Thanks for awesome information. Bitcoin will take her strong position very soon. Buy now or cry later.

More regulation bullshit. I hate the media more everyday. More mainstream = more people buying = higher market caps, however the constant FUD of late is so old.

Media should be banned from reporting just like google banned crypto ads. :)

The 7 days chart looks healthy. Some up, some down.
My biggest concern is that Thether started to print again. Should we worry about that?

I don't really worry about it. It could be a positive sign as well. For every US dollar that is deposited on Bitfinex one USDT is printed.

As we take a look at it from that perspective, it, indeed, would make sense.
Thx for the reply/

That last news is ridiculous insane amount of currency. Cryptocurrency could boom if it is used in transactions. $27 trillion! wow.

Damn, just when I thought things were back on the up and up.

Really a very nice information. I would like to ask how to influence the price of the bitcoin with policy in part of the country prohibits to conduct transactions

Good post, how i can get some of eos?

I'm so sick of media false reporting. Of course Nikkei is looking to take down the crypto market given they are a stock-based publication.

I guess we should take it as a positive, if crypto wasn't a thread that wouldn't attack it...

10 years from now, we'll look back and laugh at these news articles. @ironshield
