The Mayor of Bogotá has announced a workshop for teachers interested in Blockchain technology in partnership with the High District ICT Counseling who will be hosting the workshop on Thursday 12th April called: ‘Technology blockchain: an experiment for the schools of the District’.

The workshop is aimed at teachers of public institutions who are interested in learning more about the uses and applications of blockchain technology that serves to authenticate and verify data and transactions.

Rafael Bernal Jiménez and El Rodeo schools will be announced, as well as reflection on democracy held at Colegio Unión Colombia .

Attendees will also learn about financial, medicine and notary uses of the Blockchain and will be asked to input ideas on how this exciting technology can be applied in the education sector.

Sergio Martínez, High ICT Adviser, said “The Mayor of Bogotá wants to demonstrate to teachers that the application and use of blockchain technology for pedagogical processes is feasible. “We take as an example the elections of the student representatives that took place in the schools, since it is the first step towards exercising the right to vote and a healthy democracy through state-of-the-art technologies,” he said.

Three Korean banks will face inspection over cryptocurrency exchange compliance

According to a statement released on Monday by South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), three local banks will face a compliance inspection this month to check whether they are following new regulations put in place for dealing with cryptocurrency exchanges.

The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in conjunction with the FSS will carry out on-site inspections of Nonghyup Bank, Kookmin Bank and Hana Bank between 19 and 25 April.

Investigators will check whether the banks are following recently introduced anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) rules, which were recently introduced to prevent anonymous accounts being set up virtually.

Some banks have taken the initiative to introduce internal compliance checks, notably Nonghyup Bank, which has been providing automatic verification checks for two of the largest Korean exchanges, Coinone and Bithumb. Other financial providers have been urged to carry out their own checks to comply with the new rules.

South Korea’s banking institutions have welcomed cryptocurrency exchanges and related businesses with open arms, unlike most of the banks located in the UK, which have formed what has been likened to a cartel to block any crypto-related business accessing traditional banking services. Only this year, Barclays was the first to provide its banking services to CoinBase, allowing customers to deposit and withdraw fiat under the Faster Payments Service (FPS), which is more or less real-time.

Many cryptocurrency exchanges are working with Polish-based banks, which have so far been more open to working with such firms.

Tech giants face class action lawsuit over targeted crypto ad ban

More Blockchain and cryptocurrency organisations have joined the anti-crypto advertising ban enforced by tech giants such as Google, Facebook and Twitter.

According to Russia’s RNS, three more countries that now include Kazakhstan, Armenia and Switzerland have joined Russia, South Korea and China in a joint class action lawsuit that will be filed in New York this May. Legal costs will be crowd-sourced from donations made to a fund registered in Luxembourg.

Facebook, Google and Twitter as said to be displaying cartel-like behaviour when enforcing a restrictive ban on cryptocurrency ads, which appears to be aimed at curbing enthusiasm and hindering the adoption of new and possibly game-changing technologies. This blanket ban is penalising legitimate companies who wish to utilize advertising platforms to gain investors and users and spread the word about their projects, which subsequently affects the amount of funds raised.

The Chinese Association of Cryptocurrency Investors (LBTC), Russian Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Association (RACIB) and the Korea Venture Business Association (KOVA) came to an agreement to take the matter to court, and have been joined by many more organisations since.

Facebook banned crypto ads on the social network back in January citing complaints about advertisements from its user base.

Google restricted cryptocurrency ads and related content last month – this included ICO promotions, wallets and crypto exchanges, although a quick Google search for “ICO” returns multiple advertisements.

Russian search engines Yandex and Runet have also joined in and have started banning crypto ads.

The joint lawsuit is set to be filed in May 2018.

Wall Street heavy weights are going into Bitcoin

Have Wall Street legends turned the market?

Ethereum, Bitcoin and many of the major cryptocurrencies are back in the green with the finger being pointed at Wall Street legends George Soros and John D. Rockefeller who are allegedly investing.

Although it’s still early days, 2018 has not been a great start for crypto with the price of Bitcoin plummeting from record highs.

What caused the crash? It would appear that several elements played a part but the massive tax bills American traders have racked up, estimated to be in the region of $25bn, are undoubtedly a factor, combined with regulatory uncertainty in several Asian countries and tech giants such as Facebook and Google banning adverts related to crypto.

Billionaire investment fund Soros Fund Management has been given the green light to trade in digital currencies, although the firm’s $26bn fund has not yet made a wager according to Bloomberg.

Venture capital firm Venrock, which was founded by descendants of John D. Rockefeller, recently announced it was partnering with a cryptocurrency firm from Brooklyn.

According to Hedge Fund Research, funds that invested in cryptocurrencies at the beginning of 2017 made colossal profits of around 3,000%.

It seems that April will be an interesting month for cryptocurrencies, as, at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $7,147.92 with Ethereum at $415.72.

The Spanish taxman wants your crypto trading data

Spain’s tax regulator, commonly known as Agencia Tributaria or the Agency for Tax Administration (AEAT), has issued 60 formal requests to cryptocurrency entities seeking private customer data, such as identification documents, account ownership, trades and other information.

Cryptocurrency cash machine operators, exchanges and payment gateways were some of the companies that received the request earlier this week.

The information is apparently being used as part of an investigation across the crypto industry to decide whether new control procedures are required.

Furthermore, AEAT obtained data from the National Fraud Investigation Office (ONIF) on the whereabouts of offshore bank accounts held by 16 cryptocurrency exchanges registered in Spain.

It is not yet known if AEAT is seeking this information to clamp down on people not declaring capital gains from the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies. According to Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisor, US taxpayers accrued $92 billion in taxable gains from cryptocurrencies in 2017.

Financial Conduct Authority Issues Crypto Derivatives warning

FCA LOGOThe UK’s financial regulatory body issued a statement on Friday aimed at businesses providing “derivatives” and similar services to the public.

The FCA said that it does not consider cryptocurrencies to be a commodity or traditional currency from a regulatory standpoint as currently no legal framework exists, but they believe some derivatives may be considered to be financial instruments under the current legislation more specifically the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MIFID II) and therefore businesses must seek authorisation or clarification from them as soon as possible.

Any operation, dealing, arranging or advising of derivatives that reference either cryptocurrencies or tokens issued through an initial coin offering (ICO) will require authorisation by the FCA, this also includes options and CFDs.

“It is firms’ responsibility to ensure that they have the appropriate authorisation and permission to carry on regulated activity. If your firm is not authorised by the FCA and is offering products or services requiring authorisation it is a criminal offence. Authorised firms offering these products without the appropriate permission may be subject to enforcement action.” said the FCA

The FCA is carefully monitoring the crypto industry as it grows, they released a statement last December warning that CFDs were extremely high risk and speculative products and that consumers should be fully aware of the price volatility, leverage ratios, higher charges in comparison, funding costs and transparency.

Survey reveals that one-in-four millennials would rather invest in Bitcoin than stocks

If you weren’t already aware of Bitcoin’s cultural impact amongst millennials, then this latest survey from Blockchain Capital should wake you up to how this generation view the cryptocurrency.

According to the survey, one-in-four millennials would rather invest in Bitcoin than stocks and shares. The study is a clear indicator that the younger generation view cryptocurrencies as genuine investment opportunities.

To explain these figures, we have to look at the details of the survey Blockchain Capital undertook. The venture capital firm’s research found that a good percentage of those aged between the ages of 18-34 reckon Bitcoin has a bright future.

To be exact, the survey found that 27 percent of respondents would rather take $1,000 worth of Bitcoin, rather than $1,000 of traditional stocks. Meanwhile, 22 percent would take the same amount of the cryptocurrency over real estate and 30 percent would take Bitcoin over government bonds.

Other results from the survey showed that 30 percent of Americans are at least somewhat familiar with the currency. An understandably higher percentage of younger people knew about Bitcoin, than their older counterparts (42 percent of millennials opposed to 15 percent of those over 65).

Considering that only two percent of Americans have owned or own Bitcoin, it appears that there is a genuine opportunity for expansion, as there is already a huge level of recognition for the currency in society.
This was shown in the fact that 19 percent of Americans indicated that they’d buy Bitcoin in the next five years.

Millennials have certainly abandoned any skepticism associated with it, with over half (52 percent) citing Bitcoin as a positive financial innovation.

This survey was taken last year and had over 2,000 American adults taking part.

Crypto currencies aiming to revolutionize a gambling industry.

2017 was a memorable year for crypto world. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies seen a significant growth and wider adoption while numerous projects raised millions of dollars in capital via Initial Coin Offerings (ICO). Some call it the future of money, others say it’s a bubble. Whichever it turns out to be in the end, the recent upsurge in Bitcoin’s price and the whole crypto market suggests that it isn’t going anywhere soon…

There is no doubt that we are in times of a present-day Gold Rush and nobody wants to miss out on the extraordinary returns if products hit critical mass and investors get in early. So the question is, which sectors are likely to winners in 2018? Answer: you can ‘t go wrong with gambling. In 2013 just over 50% of all bitcoin transactions were related to gambling. Moreover, since 2014, roughly 3.7 million BTC has been wagered equating to $37 billion USD at the time of writing. The crypto gambling market size is constantly increasing but is only a tip of the iceberg compared to the global online gambling industry. One upcoming ICO is seeking to disrupt the industry by taking a new approach to gambling and offering new opportunities.

ZeroEdge.Bet is a new type of blockchain based online casino whose business model revolves around its cryptocurrency’s value growth rather than the cash flow from casino games like in traditional model. As a result, all casino games at ZeroEdge.Bet are with 0% house edge, meaning players have just as much chance of winning as the house.
