How blockchain can change the global auto industry
The potential for using blockchain in the automotive industry goes far beyond trading cars for crypto. Auto giants are closely following the development of blockchain technology and are ready to actively use its potential. What's more, perennial competitors have banded together to standardize industry-wide blockchain adoption.
Yes, they tighten the requirements and the nuts again. As of right now, European banks are required to view cryptocurrencies as the riskiest asset class.
Today, the relevant EU parliamentary committee approved such an initiative.
As a result, banks will actually need to hold EUR 1 in equity for every EUR they hold in cryptocurrencies.
The MEPs explained that similar capital requirements will help prevent the crypto world's insecurity from spreading to the financial system.
However, it was offensive. Which of the worlds is more unstable needs to be determined, though. But our arbiter is time. It will reveal everything.
Welcome another legend to the crypto family! Irish Distillers Int'l, the company behind Jameson whiskey, has registered a metaverse trademark!
Based on the application, it can be concluded that the iconic manufacturer plans to sell virtual alcohol, items and accessories, NFT trading software, and maybe even create a marketplace and a virtual bar!
Go, go, Jameson! We do not know exactly how all this will look, but every brand like this plays into the hands of mass adoption.
Ethereum supporters are looking forward to the upcoming crypto spring. Another network update, dubbed Shanghai Fork, is scheduled for March. Shanghai Fork will allow users to access the funds locked into the Ethereum Beacon Chain. Depositors will be able to participate in validating transactions and earn newly-created Ethereum.
J.P. Morgan believes Shanghai Fork will be a pleasant surprise for Coinbase as well. It estimates that up to 95% of retail investors of this crypto exchange will be able to participate in Ethereum staking after the update. The matter is that Coinbase may get additional revenue of about $225-$545 million per year.
To allegedly receive free SHIBs, users were asked to follow a phishing link. After that, scammers connected to the victim's crypto wallet and withdrew all funds. Suspicions arose in the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit.
Community members began spreading information about phishing so that others won't become scam victims. They called it the biggest scam ever to hit Reddit. If you have already clicked on such a link, urgently move your coins and tokens to another wallet. And remember, if a deal looks too good to be true, you're probably in the thick of it.
In their search for bankrupt FTX clients' money, lawyers want to cross-examine SBF's mother and brother.
It is already known that the businessman's parents lived in a house in the Bahamas worth $16.4 million, which was the property of a crypto exchange. And the SBF's brother bought a multi-million dollar property near United States Capital (probably with the FTX clients' money).
Negotiations with the SBF's father are ongoing. Perhaps the court will be able to get the truth at least from the suspect's father.
9 years ago, Vitalik Buterin presented his Ethereum smart contract platform to the world. He officially announced his invention on BitcoinTalk Forum with a post titled "Welcome to the New Beginning!"
It’s not an anniversary date, so let’s do without flowers and applause.
But one thing that we would like to mention is that everyone who made their first steps at that time became most powerful people in crypto.
With its roots in the Ethereum team, crypto mafia has spread across the world:
- Charles Hoskinson launched Cardano in 2017.
- Anthony Di Iorio launched Decentral Inc. and the Jaxx wallet
- Joseph Lubin launched ConsenSys
- Gavin Wood created Polkadot and developed the Solidity smart contract language.
Our congratulations on these achievements, Vitalik!
This day 12 years ago was marked as the first attempt to use Bitcoin as a payment mean.
The author of the ad wanted to sell a 1280x960 resolution picture for 500 BTC that he said would look great as a desktop background.
At that time 500 BTC worth $1. Today it is almost $12,000,000,000.
As we know, no one was ever interested in this offer. Crypto folks decided to spend their BTC on pizzas.
The agreement, which turned the crypto exchange into a Premium Partner of the Bundesliga club, will last until the end of June 2023.
Under the new terms, Coinbase will promote its products and services at Signal-Iduna-Park (the club's home stadium) and provide crypto-educational programs for team members.
The numbers of the deal are not disclosed.
But it is not that important. After all, we are still Barcelona's fans. Vitalik Buterin: perfect nerd
Long ago, Vitalik Buterin established himself as a crypto legend. He is the only person who challenges the idea that there are only three ways to become a billionaire in the cryptocurrency market: if you are already a millionaire, if you come from a family of millionaires, or if you are friends with Alibaba's founder.
James Gorman, CEO of Morgan Stanley, said that the world economy has come out of its peak.
Positive changes were influenced by two factors:
- inflation in the USA has reached maximum levels
- relations between USA and China began to improve
Gorman believes that China and the United States have finally agreed: instead of redistributing the world's prosperity among themselves, they have moved to the desire to increase it so that everyone gets more.
Gorman also suggested that the Fed will not raise rates above 25 basis points next month.
The crypto market seems to agree.
