Predicted Market Crash, Foretold Market Explosion, and 20 Crypto Jokes
The Cryptoverse brought us quite a few interesting stories this week. Lower USD interest rates, combined with the inflation and crypto volatility could bring greater demand for stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, and while Silk Road founder predicts that there will soon be another market crash before the BTC price goes up, Pantera Capital CEO thinks BTC will explode this year. Interestingly, ‘bitcoin halving’ became more popular on Google than ‘bitcoin,’ and locked-down Russian internet users flock to bitcoin (BTC) and the Bible . People tell the Cryptoverse what to do to get mass adoption, CZ says blockchain fundraising will continue to grow, and NEO’s founder says blockchain is a post-pandemic winner. BTCPay integrated P2EP, and Rocket issues the first ever loan with ENS name as collateral. Meanwhile, investors sued the Maker Foundation.
Into the world of regulators we go! We may have seen first pics of China’s much-awaited CBDC, but digital yuan real-world tests may begin in May, and a number of tech giants became members of China’s new blockchain committee, while IT firms quickly started denying involvement with digital currency. IMF said we’re in for a crisis like no other, and the Chair of the FSB said that ”global stablecoins” oversight recommendations are based on the ‘same activity, same regulation’ principle. Meanwhile, South Korea tells blockchain firms to seize the chance to become leaders, while the country’s prosecutors are trying to open 15 seized crypto wallets in the Telegram Nth case. As an EU committee called for crypto regulations to be made on an international level, Zimbabwe may have (not) made a U-turn on BTC, and we learned that the government policies stand behind Venezuelan BTC exchange’s SMS gateway service. Lastly, Facebook’s Libra has a new plan to please regulators, Huobi Korea searches for new investors as it aims at the ‘big three,’ a crypto entrepreneur sold his personal tokens on the ETH blockchain, raising over USD 20,000, and blockchain-powered cosplay came to Japan.
And now, the jokes! Enjoy!
