🗞 Homeland Security Arrests Bitcoin Company CEO for Alleged Money Laundering

There is never a boring day in the world of cryptocurrency. The CEO of Bitcoin Inc mentioned on Twitter that he had been arrested in his home by the Department of Homeland Security. According to the information shared with us, this arrest is the direct result of a Bitcoin transaction dating back to November of 2016. For now, he has been released on a personal recognizance bond.

🗞 Crypto Investment Shows ‘Limitless Ignorance Of Human Race’, Hedge Fund Tells Clients

One of the world’s largest hedge funds Elliott Management, founded by billionaire Paul Singer in 1977, dedicated three pages to describing its negative view of cryptocurrencies in a fourth-quarter letter to clients, calling cryptocurrencies “one of the most brilliant scams in history," Business Insider reported Feb. 20.

“This [cryptocurrency] is not just a bubble. It is not just a fraud. It is perhaps the outer limit, the ultimate expression, of the ability of humans to seize upon ether and hope to ride it to the stars...

But is it not glorious that when the equivalent of nothing attracts priests and parishioners who run up the price, the very willingness of the mob to buy it at higher and higher prices is seen as validation of the thing, rather than an indication of the limitless ignorance of swaths of the human race?”

🗞 Russian Blockchain Association To Launch ‘First’ Guarantee System For ICO Funding

The “first” guarantee system for Initial Coin Offering (ICO) investments is set to launch in Russia in 2018, local media outlet Izvestia reported Feb. 19.

The system, dubbed ICO-hub, is being developed by Globex Bank, which is a subsidiary of state-owned Vnesheconombank (VEB) bank, together with the Russian Association of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain (RACIB), and the CrowdHub platform.

🗞 SBI Doesn’t Ban Credit Card Crypto Purchases Despite Issuing Warning

SBI Cards & Payments Services Pvt. Ltd, the second largest issuer of credit cards in India, has warned customers of the risks associated with cryptocurrencies. Despite the warning, the company did not move to ban its customers from purchasing bitcoin and other virtual currencies using SBI issued credit cards.

🗞 Vitalik Has a New Idea for ICOs – And It's Being Tested

At least, that's according to ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin. One of the early thinkers to shape the crypto funding mechanism concept, he hasn't quite put the idea aside, last month proposing it could be combined with a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to best allow investors to have a say in how money raised gets handled.

STEEM Trading Update by @cryptopassion

The third test of the resistance line in green failed again :

As you can see on the chart, that failure sent us back in direction of our support line in red.

We could go directly to that support line in the coming hours and use it to start a new bounce in direction of our resistance line in green. The resistance like became weaker after these 3 tests and a break out is really probable if we have a new attempt in the coming hours/days.

Yeah that was really good...nice article Mr.Lemon! Upvoted here.

Thank you mate, take care and welcome on Steemit.

:) Thanks!

Anything you can dig up on "Producing" for EOS would sure be a welcomed read. There's just not a lot out there yet. There's a few in my crew that want to start gearing up to be an EOS producer, me included. There is a lot of hype on this one for miners.

We are hearing/reading we will need a full 100 ether to get going. Who knows, that could be 150 thousand US by the time they are ready to go.

I guess I better start saving up my ethereum right now!
I just hope that is not true...

@vlemon, did you notice my reply in one of your old posts?
Perhaps you missed it because of the numerous replies you receive?

I didn’t, what was it about?

I just have my post a bump or something like that. I think you should be able to find it quite easy via replies.

Sorry for spamming a bit.
