  The authorities in Hong Kong arrested three teenagers in an operation during which they successfully rescued a 19-year-old man who had been the victim of a horrific incident involving illegal assault and kidnapping last month. This incident highlights the growing crime risks associated with digital currencies. During the incident, the victim was lured allegedly to conduct a cryptocurrency exchange at the hotel "Harbour Grand Kowloon", where he was later threatened and assaulted with a baseball bat by two of the accused. The victim, being in a deplorable state, managed to alert a friend, which led to the intervention of the authorities who arrested two of the accused outside and another inside the hotel. The defendants, who ranged in age from 16 to 19, are now facing charges of assault, illegal detention and extortion.

A report from the Bank of Canada reveals the nature of those who own Bitcoin!

Image
  A new report from the Bank of Canada has revealed some interesting facts about the state of Bitcoin ownership across the country. The report found that about 13% of Canadians owned Bitcoin in 2021, and the report showed that investors with average financial knowledge are the least likely to buy. Why do Canadians buy bitcoin? The Central Bank of Canada survey showed that Bitcoin ownership numbers in 2021 were more than double that of Bitcoin ownership between 2018 and 2020. The increase was largely driven by the broader availability of products that can be purchased with bitcoin, along with broad increases in Canadian savings during the pandemic. Meanwhile, about 90% of Canadians are aware of the existence of Bitcoin. This broad awareness mimics the results of last year's Grayscale survey, which found that 99% of US investors know Bitcoin. While going back to Canadians, 40% of the survey participants who own bitcoin showed a relatively low level of knowledge about the nature of b...

Ms. Truss's response to the cost-of-living crisis, which she has pledged to look into within days of taking office, will likely demonstrate both her ability to take office and the prospects for her own mandate at a subsequent general election.

Why do analysts expect Cardano to outperform BTC and what does this have to do with the Ethereum merger?

Image
  A popular cryptocurrency analyst has suggested that Cardano (ADA) could soon begin to outperform the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) as traders will start using the cryptocurrency to hedge against the dangers of Ethereum moving from a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to a Proof of Stake consensus algorithm ( PoS). According to the Coin Bureau channel host, who shared a video informing 2.1 million YouTube subscribers of the cryptocurrency market, non-Ethereum smart contract platforms such as Cardano, Solana, and BNB Chain can be viewed as a hedge against the potential risks of an Ethereum consolidation upgrade. The consolidation is described as the integration of Ethereum's existing mainnet into the network that has been integrated with the Beacon Chain Proof of Stake platform, paving the way for future expansion upgrades, including retail technology. This move is expected to reduce Ethereum's energy consumption by 99.95%. It is believed that moving away from the ...

Highlighting recent events, the latest reports indicate that the inflation rate in the 19 countries that use the euro rose to 9.1% in August, marking the highest number in the history of the euro.

March CPI data rose to 7.44%, a scary jum...

Image

Decentralized trading platform Uniswap blocked 253 crypto addresses within four months of working with blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs.

The addresses were mostly blocked due to their connection to stolen money or coin-mixing services such as Tornado Cash, which were recently sanctioned by the US Treasury. The data was posted to GitHub by Uniswap software engineer Jordan Frankfurt, and according to lead developer Yearn Finance Banteg who saved the data in a thread on twitter and on GitHub. He said: We've reached out to Frankfurt and Uniswap for comment and will update this article if we get a response. There are three basic things that make up Uniswap: a software that runs...

The founder of “Terra” prepares to launch a new decentralized stable digital currency.

Image
 Recently, several press reports have emerged indicating that Terra founder Do Kwon may launch a new decentralized stablecoin on the new Terra 2.0 blockchain. This unconfirmed piece of news was brought up yet, by an active participant in the Terra Governance Forums, who goes by the nickname "FatMan", who told: A verified insider told them that Kwon is currently designing a new decentralized stablecoin to be built on Terra 2.0.  This move could conflict with Terra 2.0's initial plan, which was to dump TerraUSD (UST) digital stablecoin. The decoupling of the UST stablecoin was largely to blame for the collapse of Terra, after the reserves accumulated by “Kwon” proved insufficient to support the stablecoin. Will the crypto community accept the new Terra stablecoin? While most of the reactions to the “FatMan” Twitter post were negative, some users felt that the new stablecoin might work if it was fully secured. Collateralized stablecoins like USDT and USDC have so far proven ...

With wildly fluctuating prices…the new LUNA coin becomes a paradise for speculators

Image
  Just three days after its release. The new LUNA cryptocurrency is experiencing huge price fluctuations, making it a paradise for speculators. After the airdrop and coin distribution last Saturday, several cryptocurrency exchanges showed different prices. According to the data on the Kraken trading platform, the new LUNA trade opened at $17 and then fluctuated between $30 and $4.80. While the same currency was listed on the OKX trading platform at an opening price of $1, it then swung and traded between $5 and $20. On Tuesday, May 31, crypto exchange Binance also listed the new LUNA cryptocurrency. Although cryptocurrencies are subject to significant fluctuations, such fluctuations are unusual in both directions and arguably a rare case. Speculators have been locking in gains with LUNA rallying while some holders of LUNA's legacy and UST stablecoin recover some of the losses caused by Terra's crash earlier. Mr. Fadi Abul Elfa, Head of Research at Copper Prime Brokerage Copper ...

After Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter … what is the fate of the decentralized project “BlueSky”?

Image
  In a statement, the management of BlueSky Project, a Twitter-funded project to build a decentralized standard for social media, stated that the company is not under the control of Twitter after its purchase by Elon Musk. The “BlueSky” project operates independently of Twitter: In a tweet posted on April 25, BlueSky stated that despite being funded by Twitter, the social media platform does not have any controlling stake in the platform. BlueSky also explained that the funding for Twitter came on one condition, which is that the project researched and developed technologies that enable open and decentralized public conversation. Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, first announced the creation of BlueSky in December 2019, stating that the plan was to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media.
