๐ When Governments Get Intrusive, Bitcoin Provides Way Out
Governments across the world are using technology and banks to keep an eye on their citizens. Decentralized currencies like Bitcoin may be the only way out for people who want to maintain their privacy.
The US, through the enactment of Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), tracks the accounts of its citizens worldwide. US citizens, whether resident or not, have information such as their social security numbers and total assets collected by banks and submitted to the IRS. The US government twists the arms of foreign banks to ensure compliance. This is done by threatening non-compliant banks with a withholding penalty on their US transactions.

BTC Trading Update by @cryptopassion
Here is a small update about bitcoin. We are still stucked at the end of the triangle, testing the resistance line since hours now :
The patience here is the key. It is just a matter of hours before we have a break out in one of the directions. I hope that all the people who bought BTC to receive free Bitcoin Gold won't lost money due to a massive drop.
We have here a triangle pointing towards the up direction, so in most of the cases, it gives a break out DOWN but no one can be sure at 100%. So don't play the break out, wait to have the trend installed.

Thank you for that great info! For every Steemian is important to know how BTC is going on and are there ATHs soon. For me it is profit taking time, so be caution. I am looking in to XRP as interesting investment now, what do you think?
I already took some profits, saving just a bit, so that I will get BTG. In my opinion, there are a lot of possibilities in the altcoins now...could be profitable short term, if BTC takes a dip after the fork!!
@vlemon, thanks for a great update!
I LOVE XRP ! One of my absolute favourite.
But you are right, it seems that BTC and Altcoins might be going lower so I don't know if it is the perfect time to invest. But XRP is definitely one that I would HODL.
Thanks for sharing, i am so glad with bittrex, recently i switch my wallet to them
upvoted.
In my opinion, they are one of the best place to buy Altcoins
I totally agree with you.
Thanks and have a good one :)
