This week in crypto: The China Side-Eye Edition
The biggest spate of news actually happened last Friday and it’s China again. Now all cryptocurrency related transactions are effectively banned in China.

It didn’t stop there, though. The commentary from…

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: surviving the winter
There is lots of speculation about why Bitcoin is up this week ranging from an insecure reaction to Trump’s trade war with China, to new big names now accepting cryptocurrency. It’s too early to tell if this is the end of the crypto-winter or whether we’ll look back on this week as a type of…

Crypto-miner Hive (HIVE.V) has sunk from $4.71 on October 31, 2017 to $1.26, while Bitcoin fell from a high of $20,000 to under $7,000. China has played…

Welcome to the Big Show, DMG Blockchain (DMGI.V): Up 23% in second day of trading
Back in the 45 days of deep 2017 when the entire world thought everything blockchainy would be a billion dollar deal by Christmas, which ended on the day HIVE Blockchain (HIVE.V) let founders stock trade early, thereby (and properly) stepping on an insane tulipmania run, all that was needed to make a pubco double were…

Psssst – wanna to buy some HashChain (KASH.V)?
