This week, it became known about Google's plans to ban advertising of Crypto-Currency and ICO, its own blockbuster from Binance, details of the sale of Mt. Gox and an illegal mining farm in Orenburg. Briefly about the main In June, Google will prohibit online advertising Crypto and ICO, following the example of Facebook, as well as the Chinese search engine Baidu. This step is part of a large-scale campaign to limit the marketing of new varieties of high-risk financial products. Those who work in the ICO industry say that Google just outstrips the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), whose purpose is to protect crypto-currency investors. On March 14, the US Congress hosted a meeting of the Committee on Financial Services, dedicated to crypto-currencies and ICO. The focus of the hearings was the issue of regulation and enforcement by government bodies. Legislators differed in their opinion about the direction the regulatory process should take: whether regulators need new laws and powers or simply specify which existing laws should be applied to the crypto-currency sector and how to do it. Cyber security standards for crypto-exchange exchanges were also negotiated, and the issue of how the ICO should be resolved was never resolved during the hearings. Regulation of this sphere in the US faces two problems: who will do this (the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Futures Trading Commission) and what laws should be applied. It is also expected that at the beginning of this week (March 19-20) at the G20 summit (G20) they will discuss a joint approach to the regulation of the crypto-currency market. On March 15, Lightning Labs announced the beta release of its Lightning Network Daemon (LND) software client, which is designed for developers and can be used to access the Bitcoin Lightning Network. There are other developments of Lightning Network, however LND is the first implemented beta version. All major LN implementations must be compatible with each other. Also Lightning Labs reported on the attraction of funding from former adviser PayPal David Sachs and one of the founders of Robinhood Vlad Tenev, as well as CEO Square and Twitter Jack Dorsey. Square shares increased by more than 200% last year and now it can be called a banking technology company. Square quotes began to grow in November, before the news that Square Cash users will be able to buy and sell bitcoins. Other news in the world: Miner heater and memorial to blockade The French startup Qarnot presented to the public a new heater designed for the crypto currency. According to representatives of the start-up, this is an "ideal option" for crypto-currency mining. The QC1 model includes two AMD processors (Sapphire Nitro + Radeon RX580 with 8 GB of video memory) and by default it is intended for ether mining. The equipment can be launched in a few minutes by connecting an Ethernet cable and entering the address of the air-purse address into the mobile application. At this address, the airs gradually begin to arrive: Qarnot does not receive a single coin, 100% of the crypto currency is given to users. Thomson Reuters announced that it intends to use artificial intelligence technology to monitor and analyze information from 400 sites, including crypto-currency news resources and social networks. The company expects that the collection and analysis of such information will allow it to acquaint traders with the mood of the market and predict the prices for digital currencies. In the Slovenian city of Kranj (Kranj), the world's first "monument to the blockade" was installed in the form of the bitcoin logotype. The metal structure, created by Alexander Franceshkin and Selman Chorovich, took its place at the roundabout near the city center.The sponsors were two Slovenian companies - a developer of mobile applications and cloud solutions 3fs and a crypt exchange Bitstamp. Affairs at us: Blocking, mining and power Speaking at a meeting of the board of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr), the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Oreshkin told about a pilot project that will help monthly to register thousands of transactions with real estate. The Minister noted that at the first stage, up to 5,000 transactions per month can be carried out. According to Oreshkin, "nowhere else in the world is there a full-fledged system of accounting for the rights of the blockbuster", and Russia is leading in this area. The Central Bank of Russia and the Deposit Insurance Agency intend to create in 2019 a single register of depositors on the basis of the block, the sources in these structures told Izvestia. This is a unique deposit register, which has no analogues in the world. Its purpose is to combat the practice of bankers' destruction of client databases at the time of the revocation of the license and increase the transparency of the bank deposits market. In one of the premises in the territory of a non-working plant of rubber-technical products in Orenburg, a mining farm was discovered. The farm was found thanks to the power engineers. They noticed an abnormally high electricity consumption, for which no one paid, and reported this to law enforcement agencies, who previously qualified the case as a large-scale theft of electricity (the damage is estimated at 60 million rubles). The other factory will officially mine. The largest factory in Siberia for the production of glass containers "Ekran" intends to divert part of the vacant premises of the industrial park of the same name under its crypto-currency mining. The amount of initial investment in the project is 11 million rubles. On March 15, Pavel Boboshik, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ekran Industrial Park, told TASS about this initiative.</p> <p>And in Ukraine at a meeting of the profile committee of the Ukrainian government, First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv instructed the state bodies to develop the documents necessary to supplement the Classifier of Economic Activities with the clause on mining. Thus, mining will be recognized as an economic "activity to support the operation of a divided database, ensure their integrity, unchanged and consistent by conducting computational operations by electronic computers." Exchanges: millions of Binance and billions of Mt. Gox Exchange Binance again in the spotlight. Last week, hackers pumped in the price of Viacoin with the help of their cracked Binance accounts. In this regard, the exchange announced the award to individuals who will be able to assist in exposing hackers who tried to rob the stock exchange on March 7. She offers $ 250,000 for information that will bring to justice those who are behind the pumping and dumping of Viacoin crypto currency. A total of $ 10 million is allocated to exposing cybercriminals and preventing burglaries. And such amounts are quite adequate for the exchange, whose head owns assets worth $ 1.4 billion, the number of which according to its monthly report exceeded 7.9 million registered users, that the competitors of the exchange, located on the first five positions of the pyramid of Coinmarketcap, have approximately the same number of customers. Also Binance reported in the official blog that she is working on her own blocking and updated version of her BNB token. The new platform will be called Binance Chain, and, according to the company, its foundation will be "an improved version of the blocking technology, which focuses on performance, ease of use and liquidity." It is expected that the improved version of BNB will become the basis for servicing the entire Binance blockhouse. Now BNB is used to pay exchange fees and allows participants to invest in the ecosystem of the site. At the Bitfinex exchange, the platform for monitoring and analyzing trading activity from Irisium was integrated, which is one of the leaders in creating software solutions for such a plan for financial organizations. Technical director of Bitfinex Paolo Ardoino also said that the exchange is trying to implement a flexible surveillance system based on the latest technologies to meet the "complex customer needs" and protect their interests from "trade abuse". Circle, which recently bought the Poloniex stock exchange, will hire between 25 and 35 people to expand its operations in Hong Kong and mainland China (currently 10 people are doing it), and will also form teams for work in South Korea and Japan. The Gemini Exchange, led by twins Winklewoss, announced the creation of the Virtual Commodity Association, a self-managed group whose mission is to exclude speculation and uncertainty from the crypto currency area. According to the twins, the next logical step in the process of market maturation will be the creation of a self-regulating organization that will be able to develop a program to monitor the turnover of virtual goods. They count on cooperation in this direction with leaders of various industries, market participants, regulators and legislators. More than $ 3 billion in daily trading volume on the leading crypto-exchange markets can be a fiction - it is written by the crypto-currency trader Sylvain Ribes (Sylvain Ribes). According to him, the main speculator is OKex, which is considered one of the world's largest exchanges with a daily trading volume of about $ 1.5 billion. Also, Business Insider published a material that indicates that the crypto exchange requires up to $ 1 million for Adding tokens on their platforms. Last week, the news that the arbitration manager of the collapsed bitcoin-exchange Mt. Gox Nobuaki Kobayashi, sold a huge lot of bitcoins and BCH, owned by the stock exchange.On Saturday, March 17, Kobayashi published a new report on exactly how he releases the crypto currencies he has on the market, the remainder of which is also an impressive $ 1.9 billion. According to the arbitration manager, he consulted with "experts on crypto-currencies" and did not sell funds on ordinary exchanges. Kobayashi also says that tracking the movement of assets at public addresses is useless and that the earlier speculations about the time of sale of coins are incorrect. In addition, on March 1, the French documentary "Bitcoin Big Bang: An Incredible Epic of Mark Carpels" was released, in which the story of Mt. Gox and the CEO of Mark Carpels. Ripple said it plans to invest in start-ups and technology companies that will provide additional application for XRP - its crypto currency, the third at the moment for capitalization after bitcoin and etherium. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse told TechCrunch that Ripple is focused on enabling banks to use its software solutions (a set of services, some of which do not use XRP), but it also invests in startups that can offer alternative uses of XRP. What does money say: PayPal, Visa, IMF Speaking at a meeting of the New York Economic Club in Manhattan, PayPal CEO Dan Shulman said that digital currencies have an uncertain future. Also, Dan Shulman noted that the blockage will become a more powerful part of the market and that the crypto currency is "just one of its applications." In turn, the co-founder of PayPal Peter Thiel shares the view that bitcoin will become a means of preserving value rather than a popular currency for everyday transactions. According to Thiel, the probability that bitcoin will eventually depreciate is 50-80%, and the chance of its growth is 20-50%. According to Thiel, there is a possibility that other digital currencies such as the etherium will be able to beat beatcoin. Til believes that competitors can have better characteristics, but bitcoin is attractive for its scale. On the contrary, the venture investor Tim Draper is one of those for whom crypto-currencies are a smoothly developing ecosystem that will sooner or later take over the world. Last week, on the air of the program of the CNBC channel "Fast Money" Draper stated that now the only stable crypto currency is bitcoin, and in five years none of us will use fiat money. Thanks to all these developments and excitement, the focus was on bitcoin and all other crypto-currencies. He believes that we will use them. Visa's financial director Vasant Prabhu joined politicians and financiers who criticize crypto-currencies. In an interview with the Financial Times, he said that he considers bitcoin and other digital assets as a bubble, as many unsophisticated investors are interested in them. So, about криптовалалютах with it the drivers of limousines, the bank cashier and the young distant relative have already talked. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said that governments and state banks should cooperate in creating a legislative basis for the circulation of crypto-active assets. The creation of such a base, according to Lagarde, will prevent the conversion of crypto-currency into a tool for money laundering and terrorist financing. According to the published article co-authored by the members of the executive board of the European Central Bank Benoit Quere and the chairman of the Swiss Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Jacqueline Loh bitcoin and other digital currencies will not be able to satisfy the demands of the society, which seeks to use less cash in day-to-day financial transactions and settlements. The article says that block-based tokens are rarely used to evaluate goods and therefore are relatively useless for making payments. According to the authors, to use such assets as a repository of values is the same as "playing in a casino". This opinion is shared by the general director of the online payment service "Yandex.Money" Ivan Glazachev.He says that in the foreseeable future, the crypto-currencies will not be able to replace the money and bank cards "at least because for such everyday calculations, the cost and speed of the transaction for the crypt are too high," but "the degree of control provided by the blocking technology that underlies crypto-currency, in everyday calculations, just superfluous. " The blocking engineer Global Financial Access, a fintech company from San Francisco, a former lecturer at the University of Sydney, shares his vision of the true nature of crypto-currencies in the article. Anarchy bitcoin is "not a bug, but a feature," published in Bloomberg.</p> <p>https://pro-blockchain.com/kriptomir-za-nedelyu-9</p> </html>
