Latest news going on in the land of crypto.
Satoshi Nakamoto found!
A recent tweet by the controversial British businessman reveals him and an associate having dinner at a Steakhouse in Kyoto with Satoshi Nakamoto.
Of course it was a hoax or is it? But damn this guy is eccentric. But also oozes in confidence, so confident in fact that he made a bet that if Bitcoin doesn't reach a 1M price by the end of 2020 he will eat his penis. That will be the story of the century.
Cryptocurrency CEO runs for Mayor
Cryptocurrency exchange CEO and owner of OTCBTC , the largest over the counter cryptocurrency exchange in Asia, Yi-Ting Cheng is running for Mayor in Taipei.
source
She's one smart cookie winning Facebook's global hackathon in 2012. Very well versed in the cryptocurrencies, blockchain, ICO and a knack for solving real world problems using Internet products.
So why is she running for Mayor? Well she says that politicians have very little understanding of technology that's why it's hard to push it to them. Taipei was once a technologically advance city but has become stagnant.
She wants Taipei to be advance as Japan, economically prosperous and make it the crypto hub on the planet. She reckons she can make Taipei great again using her skills and knowledge.
Yes! I will certainly vote for her if she wants to become Mayor in my town. Smart, crypto enthusiast, imagine if she becomes the president. Imagine US having a president that loves Bitcoin!? Won't happen, because certain entities won't let it.
UK Member of Parliament praises Blockchain
Matt Hancock spoke at the London Blockchain Conference detailing how it is helping the government and its people.
He talked about the World Food program where refugees in Syria are able to buy food by just a scan of their eye. He goes on about blockchain based reward system for generating solar energy how it's helping people save money.
The assurance he gave in his speech on how the government will be supportive is very positive to the community. That they recognize the innovation and how this can be implemented to society.
"So the benefits are clear and we want to see them here in the UK."
UK is going in the right direction with this news, which is total opposite to the US. The puppet after all have no say in these matters.
