🗞 The Sidechains Breakthrough Almost Everyone in Bitcoin Missed
You've heard of proof of work, but what about proofs of proofs of work?
A complex notion, the research on "Non-Interactive Proofs of Proofs of Work," or NiPoPoW, released in October, has received very little attention so far but is heralded as breaking through one of the major roadblocks that has stalled the widely anticipated sidechain technology.

🗞 Is Global Front on Bitcoin Regulation Possible?
On a day where confusing news continues to emanate from South Korea and China on new proposed bans and restrictions on Bitcoin, a member of the board of Germany’s Bundesbank has called for a united global regulatory front.
Joachim Wuermeling of Bundesbank believes there is very little chance of containing this digital global phenomenon with differing national rules across the globe. With international co-operation in regulating Bitcoin comes a chance for regulators to take control, says Wuermeling.

I am amazed and happy that things like this(scams taken down by regulators) can happen in the crypto space. Even if I considered it to be a scam I never thought they will be brought down by a regulator, given that they can always start in another region..
Finally gone.. That scam was an eyesore that somehow raised too high and for too long. It gave cryptocurrency bad image while it lasted... Glad to see it gone.
I just hope those who invested in it didn't take severe capital loses.
what do you think about sbd and steam prices are opposite each other?
good news. Thank you, I just Follow you @vlemon
Very nice i like your news
Finally alot of people will stop losing their money to such scams. Thank you for the info. Keep up the good work
seems the scam is still running using the staking system? they only said the lending is stopping... wonder if the coin will stay active with staking or if the whole thing will vanish. Its strange that instead of an exit scam, they gave everyone coins back so at least people were not hurt so badly, they can hold or sell the coins at this point.
Nice post sir

It is truly baffling that people defended Bitconnect in lieu of all the evidence that it was a total scam. There was even one who put a comment on a post last night that there is no evidence of that....that is was a threat to the banksters so it was shut down.
I mean come on....I dislike the banksters as much as anyone and do not put anything past them. Yet to still defend BCC after this is absurd.
Some just want to put their head in the sand and ignore what is so obvious.
This is a great day in the crypto world....scams like this only give the mainstream fodder to attach the entire industry.
