Elon Musk tried to help explain Bitcoin to J.K. Rowling in a bizarre Twitter exchange, and said central banks have made cryptocurrency ‘look solid by comparison’, Business Insider

JK Rowling asked Twitter to explain bitcoin to her, and was bombarded by replies – including from Elon Musk. Rowling ultimately gave up engaging with the topic, a decision Musk supported. In the process, he took a swipe at conventional central banks, which he said had undermined their credibility and made even bitcoin “look solid by comparison.” Banks like the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank have pumped trillions of dollars into the global economy via quantitative easing programs. Many of these have been expanded in an attempt to mitigate the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. Elon Musk intervened in a Twitter thread to attempt to explain bitcoin to J.K. Rowling, and ended up attacking cen...

Chinese Government Advisers Propose Regional Stablecoin for 4 Asian Countries

Top Chinese political advisers have proposed a regional digital currency that would be backed by four major Asian currencies including the Japanese yen, Korean won, Hong Kong dollar and the yuan.  The proposal unveiled Thursday describes the currency as a “stablecoin,” a term for cryptocurrencies designed to hold their value and backed by a reserve currency, although it does not explicitly mention crypto or blockchains. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) would lead the proposed effort. The basket of underlying collateral would follow the special drawing rights (SDR) model of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), where each country’s currency is assigned a different weight based on its economy. As such, the proposal resembles the original vision for libra, before that Facebook-spawned proj...

Coinbase CEO Avoids Mainstream Media, Prefers YouTube, Podcasts and Blogs

Brian Armstrong the Coinbase CEO, has joined the list of cryptocurrency executives who prefer to leverage their own blogs and platforms to distribute information to the media, as opposed to direct contact with any journalists. Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong noted in a tweet that company leaders seem increasingly unwilling to engage with the mainstream media and prefer to use social media platforms like Youtube, Twitter, and their own blogs. Trend I'm noticing: most execs/CEOs don't want to speak with mainstream media as much as they did even a few years ago. Our customers are on YouTube/podcasts/social media - not reading mainstream media. And companies are able to control their own distribution channels. — Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) May 21, 2020 Coinbase CEO Circumvents...

Data Monetisation | Euromoney Learning

How to get the best from your Data: Enterprise Value, Strategy and OrganisationData is ubiquitous. Organsiations generate millions of units of data every day. It costs money to create, store and dispose of. There are risks with its custody, it can be a critical determinant in the success or otherwise of a business, and it can be stolen or amended with ease, in some cases without anyone’s knowledge. And interestingly ownership of this critical business asset is not always clearly defined. Businesses are focused on their quarterly targets, and IT is focused on running technology.  For some organisations, ownership, and importantly, maximal leverage of data is either undefined or an abstract responsibility. In the worst case this responsibility only crystallises when there is some kind of br...

A crypto investor lost nearly $250,000 after his chosen fund collapsed during the coronavirus sell-off, Business Insider

caption Representations of virtual currency Bitcoin and U.S. dollar banknotes are seen in this picture illustration source Reuters An investor in cryptocurrency hedge funds saw nearly 99% of a $250,000 investment wiped out after his chosen fund collapsed during the market meltdown. “I don’t really know what happened,” Vlad Matveev told the Financial Times. Matveev detailed Cryptolab Capital’s explanation in a Medium blog post: the fund took a leveraged position in March, and a lack of liquidity and rejection of sell orders stopped it from pulling out when crypto prices tanked. Crypto hedge funds lost an average of 26% in March, while traditional hedge funds lost about 8%, the Financial Times said, citing HFR data. Visit Busines...

Canaan Reports $5.6M Loss in Q1 Despite Bitcoin Miner Price Cut

China-based bitcoin miner manufacturer Canaan has reported a net loss of $5.6 million for Q1 2020, even though it had cut down the prices for its hardware by more than half in an effort to sell more machines. In an earnings report released on Friday, the firm said it made $9.4 million in revenue for the first three months this year with a growth of 44.6% compared to the same period last year. But it also incurred $9.3 million and $5.9 million expenses in cost of goods sold and R&D, respectively. For that revenue, Canaan sold 0.9 million terahashes per second (TH/s) of Bitcoin computing power, which accounts for less than 1% of the network’s current total. That means Canaan had cut down the prices for its mining hardware sold in the first three months by more than 50% to just $10 per ...
