Send me Bitcoin and I’ll tell you who you are? If you make a transaction in Bitcoin, the recipient will be informed of the address from which the Bitcoin came. The payment and the recipient’s address are stored together with the amount on the blockchain. With simple means can then determine how many Bitcoin are on the payment address. One of many solutions in this very heated debate is bestmixer.io.

About anonymity, paranoia and the desire for more serenity.

Information is the gold of the third millennium. In our small country you get the impression that the account balance and the income are among the most sensitive data of a person. But this information is anything but in our hands, whether we like it or not. For investigative agencies, for savvy hackers and for intelligence agencies, finding out about a person at the local savings bank is not a big challenge. In the Bitcoin ecosystem, there is some hysteria about the glassiness of the blockchain. Apart from the fact that one operates in the Bitcoin network under one or more pseudonyms, there are many solutions for improved privacy and anonymity. The most promising one is probably the Lightning Network, which until now has only limited practicality. An already working solution represents the platform bestmixer.io.

Bitcoin can now also be purchased at the vending machine in selected locations within Germany. After some legal difficulties, the operators decided to set up the machines after all.

One or the other may still remember: Bitcoin machines have not had it easy in Germany so far. Some brave pioneers have already tried to exhibit; However, they had to switch them off again at the direction of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). In October last year, however, the Berlin Court of Appeal ruled that BaFin had exceeded its powers. In other words: Bitcoin trading is not punishable.

The Bitcoin course and Ether course get company. In the future, Nasdaq will index the ripple price. This is happening as the United States’ largest electronic stock exchange teamed up with Brave New Coin’s blockchain analysts.

Nasdaq plans to replicate the XRP price in real time in the future. As the company officially announces, the “XRP Liquid Index” will in future show in real time what the price for an XRP is in US dollars. The company wants to refer to the data resulting from their “highly liquid” markets.

The Russian Ministry of Economic Development is starting to test cryptocurrencies in four selected regions. The Regulatory Sandboxes, which include Moscow, are licensed to test products using blockchain, AI and robotic technology. Meanwhile, neighboring Finland also passed its first regulation on cryptocurrency trading.

Russian news site Izvestia reports that Russia is preparing to test new technologies, including cryptocurrencies and blockchains. In so-called “Regulatory Sandboxes” in four regions of the country, an experimental development of new technologies takes place under special economic and legal conditions.

In the future, companies in Moscow, Perm Krai, Kaluga Oblast and Kaliningrad Oblast will be able to test the application of future technologies in the experimental special economic zones. In addition to crypto and blockchain, neuro and quantum technologies, AI, robotics and VR are among the novelties that the government is giving the green light to.

With the recent price increases, the hope returned that the bottom would be reached. Can this actually be confirmed? Not all Bitcoin enthusiasts share this opinion.

If you look through the virtual forest of leaves, sometimes you get the impression of a very simply knitted world. Those who believe in Bitcoin, of course, are on the side of the cops. The ground has already passed and we all can look forward to the upcoming bull market.

From this assumption, some conclude that every bear is a Bitcoin critic. Of course, one can agree with that: anyone who thinks that Bitcoin is a rat poison that would fall back to zero certainly takes a bearish view on the Bitcoin price.

But how is the world knitted in the short to medium term? Is every Bitcoin fan convinced that the bottom has been reached?

A good week ago there was a discussion on this topic between different Bitcoin enthusiasts. Tone Vays discussed with Leah Walds and Tyler Jenks of Lucid Investment Strategies, Venzen Khaosan of Cryptocurrents, Murad Mahmudov, Willy Woo, David Puell and finally Tuur Demester, the latter of Adamant Capital. Those who have plenty of time are the whole

Discussion to the heart:

Together with the Swiss investment company Final Frontier, mining giant Bitfury announces the launch of a joint crypto-fund this week. In the future, Liechtenstein’s main aim is to stimulate the interest of institutional investors in the industry. Meanwhile, observers currently rate the timing of mining investments as favorable.

High electricity prices, strict conditions, logistical challenges, fluctuating yields – Bitcoin mining is constantly fraught with high hurdles and uncertainties worldwide. For a long time, these insurance companies and banks stopped using their money to mine new Bitcoin.

The Dutch mining giant Bitfury wants to meet this now and open the door for investors in the often seemingly mysterious business. This Wednesday, April 24, the company announced together with the Swiss investment company Final Frontier the launch of a joint mining fund. This is to enable investors to participate in the success of Bitfury-operated mining facilities.

As it says in a joint press release, Bitfury wants to lure them with the “world’s lowest electricity and operating costs”.

The size of the fund and the immediate possibilities of the investment left both companies open at times. What is certain, however, is that the fund should be located in the tiny state of Liechtenstein and can already count on the blessing of the responsible tax authorities.

Eccentric and Bitcoin cop John McAfee wants to put an end to the Craig Wright theater. The exile presidential candidate claims to know the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin course is writing green numbers and there are also rumors from Skype that the XRP Army should be happy.

McAfee: Does he know who Satoshi is?

John McAfee once again cut one out. The US software guru, multi-millionaire and presidential candidate claims to know Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity.

    I protected the identity of Satoshi. It’s time, though, that this is put to bed. Imposters claim to be him, it’s a waste. Every day I will narrow down the identity of Satoshi until he reveals himself, or I reveal him.

    – John McAfee (@officialmcafee) April 17, 2019

In the debate over Craig Wright McAfee wants to provide clarity in the Causa Satoshi. So, on April 17, the exiled American tweeted from the Bahamas that he knew who Nakamoto is and started unveiling his identity bit by bit.
