Amazon Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of e-commerce giant Amazon, received a patentfor a streaming data marketplace that would enable users to receive real-time cryptocurrency transactions data, according to a document released April 17.
In order to meet the needs of organizations in managing of large amounts of data, the company, according to the patent, developed a technology for processing streaming data on a large scale with relatively low latency. Additionally, it would allow developers to “build real-time dashboards, capture exceptions and generate alerts, drive recommendations, and make other real-time business or operational decisions.”
The multi-streaming data service would be able to process information from different sources, including “web site click-streams, marketing and financial information, manufacturing instrumentation and social media, operational logs, metering data and so forth.”
The file also describes a use case regarding a cryptocurrency market “data stream that publishes or includes global Bitcointransactions (or any cryptocurrency transaction).” As stated in the document, the transactions are completely visible to all participants in the network. The patent says:
“For example, a group of electronic or internet retailers who accept Bitcoin transactions may have a shipping address that may correlate with the Bitcoin address. The electronic retailers may combine the shipping address with the Bitcoin transaction data to create correlated data and republish the combined data as a combined data stream.”
Customers that want to consume data may subscribe to the desired data stream and “optionally select desired enhancements that are not already included in the desired data stream.” Among potential consumers, the author of the patent makes an example of a law enforcement agency that could desire to “receive global Bitcoin transactions, correlated by country, with ISP data to determine source IP addresses and shipping addresses that correlate to Bitcoin addresses.” It further added:
“The streaming data marketplace may price this desired data out per GB (gigabyte), for example, and the agency can start running analytics on the desired data using the analysis module.”
Last week, the Bank of America's application for a patent on a Blockchain-based storage system was published. The patent addresses the issue of data transferring and tracking, and describes a system with automated data authentication and secured access of data.
Runaway inflation continues to devalue the Venezuelan Bolivar (VEB), even as the country’s authoritarian government seeks to divert attention from the floundering economy by hawking its “Petro” cryptocurrency.
According to Reuters, prices in Venezuela rose by 454 percent during the first quarter of 2018 and have swelled by 8,900 percent over the past 12 months.
Runaway inflation continues to devalue the Venezuelan Bolivar (VEB), even as the country’s authoritarian government seeks to divert attention from the floundering economy by hawking its “Petro” cryptocurrency.
According to Reuters, prices in Venezuela rose by 454 percent during the first quarter of 2018 and have swelled by 8,900 percent over the past 12 months.
Those numbers are from the opposition-controlled National Assembly and are largely in line with estimates from independent economists. Venezuela’s central bank, meanwhile, has not published official inflation data in more than two years.
This hyperinflation has left Venezuela on the brink of economic collapse, and residents are fleeing the country at an estimated rate of 5,000 migrants per day. By the end of the year, more than five percent of the country’s population — or 1.8 million people — will have left Venezuela.
But rather than address these problems, the government of what was once Latin America’s wealthiest country instead continues to sing the praises of the Petro, its new state-backed cryptocurrency.
President Nicolas Maduro has declared the Petro to be legal tender, and he has claimed that its initial coin offering (ICO) has raised more than $5 billion from investors across the globe. It even received the “Satoshi Nakamoto Prize” from the Russian Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Association, an award it received for reasons that are dubious at best.
Notably, though, the legislature has declared the Petro to be illegal, and many analysts continue to doubt that it actually exists.
But even as Maduro touts the Petro as the solution for all of Venezuela’s ills, the country’s residents are turning to another cryptocurrency to secure their wealth amidst the turbulent economic backdrop: Bitcoin.
#Bitcoin #wallet under your skin? This guy has it
April 14, 2018
According to research results from Chainalysis, a blockchain “investigator” firm, around 17 to 23 percent of bitcoins are lost forever.
To prevent this happening to them, people are ready to do radical things. Just like Martijn Wismeijer did.
Martin is a Dutch citizen and a marketing manager at the bitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes that stores access to his bitcoin in chips that are placed under his skin.
According to research results from Chainalysis, a blockchain “investigator” firm, around 17 to 23 percent of bitcoins are lost forever.
To prevent this happening to them, people are ready to do radical things. Just like Martijn Wismeijer did.
Martin is a Dutch citizen and a marketing manager at the bitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes that stores access to his bitcoin in chips that are placed under his skin.
He implanted the chips under his skin back in 2014, out of curiosity as he says. And now he is paying some of his bills like a superman, by only waving his hand at the cash desk.
Chips also stores his recovery words and is very hard to hack, according to him.
“I can safely say most of the bitcoin, more than 80 percent, I have lost due to hacks, thefts, exchanges gone bad and other problems,” he tells CNBC Make It. “If I would’ve had the chip in 2010, I’d probably be a rich man by now.”
And Martin says he is not the only one that has an implanted chip wallet as some of his colleagues also have one.
“I know at least 50 of them in the Prague area,” he says.
Mr. Bitcoin, as he calls himself, got this unusual idea after a biohacking company sent him a xNT near-field communication (NFC) microchip as a gift. He then paid $75 to a body piercing artist to implant it on both of his hands between the thumb and index finger.
The injection took only couple of seconds and recovery lasted around 2 weeks. It is less painful than having an IV drip put in, says Martin.
The technology itself is not new. Veterinarians inject microchips into animals as a tracking device, and a Swedish startup recently started implanting microchips into employees. While similar chips have been found to be biologically safe and are even FDA-approved for medical uses, there are some health concerns.
#Ripple Exec Says #XRP is ‘Absolutely Not a Security’

Following reports that popular US-based cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Gemini turned down payments from Ripple to list the company’s XRP token, a top executive from the real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange, and remittance network has tried to set the record straight.
The third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ripple (XRP), is not a security — at least, not in the minds of its parent company.
In an interview with CNBC, Ripple’s chief market strategist, Cory Johnson, stated:
We absolutely are not a security. We don’t meet the standards for what a security is based on the history of court law.
Johnson’s statement follows reports from unidentified insiders that Ripple attempted to buy a spot on popular US-based cryptocurrency exchanges Gemini and Coinbase — either of which would’ve undoubtedly caused an increase in the token’s trading volume and valuation.
Those with knowledge of the situation claimed that a Ripple executive reportedly offered a $1 million cash payment to Gemini to list XRP, which preceded various other attempts to persuade the Winklevoss twins’ cryptocurrency exchange to list the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization — including offering to pay rebates and cover associated costs.
Insiders also claimed that Ripple offered to lend Coinbase more than $100 million worth of XRP, in addition to offering to let the popular San Francisco-based exchange pay back the loan in either XRP or USD — potentially allowing Coinbase to reap massive profits following the appreciation of XRP’s value.
Both Gemini and Coinbase allegedly turned down the offers due to concerns over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s potential classification of XRP as a security.
Ripple didn’t exactly deny the claims, though the company does firmly deny that talks over XRP’s potential regulation as a security ever took place. Says Johnson:
Coinbase never ever raised the issue of whether or not XRP is a security in our discussions about listing XRP. We’re 100 percent clear, it’s not a security. We don’t meet the standards.
A spokesperson for Coinbase confirms Johnson’s claim that discussions over regulation never took place. Rather, the conversation centered mostly on the exchange’s criteria to add a cryptocurrency to its exchange.

A group of 22 European nations has formed a new blockchain partnership aimed to exchange information on the technology.
The countries, including the U.K., France, Germany, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands, signed a declaration on Tuesday establishing the new group, dubbed the European Blockchain Partnership, according to a release from the European Commission.
The collaboration is aimed to avoid "fragmented approaches" to the technology by sharing technical and regulatory expertise among member states, as well as creating ways to promote blockchain applications across the EU-wide Digital Single Market.
Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, stated that all public services will use blockchain technology in the future, and that the partnership would turn the "enormous potential of blockchain into better services for citizens".
As well as enabling member states to work together, the partnership also aims to facilitate the interoperability and implementation of blockchain services.
Gabriel continued:
"Blockchain is a great opportunity for Europe and member states to rethink their information systems, to promote user trust and the protection of personal data, to help create new business opportunities and to establish new areas of leadership, benefiting citizens, public services and companies."
The news comes soon after the EU launched the Blockchain Observatory and Forum in February. Soon after, the European Commission said it would host a Fintech Lab to foster emerging technologies including blockchain starting from the middle of 2018.
UK Bank says #Bitcoin Rise was “Viral” but Bulls Predict new Highs in 2018
A recent story in the Independent compared Bitcoin’s price surge in late 2017 to an “infection”, going on to say that it’s low, seemingly stagnate, value is a result of that infection being treated and will serve as the new norm.

A recent story in the Independent compared Bitcoin’s price surge in late 2017 to an “infection”, going on to say that it’s low, seemingly stagnate, value is a result of that infection being treated and will serve as the new norm.
Barclays say Bitcoin has Acted Like a Disease
The price of Bitcoin has been fluctuating around the $7000 mark, falling from a 2018 high of $11,500 in March and it’s all-time high of around $20,000 in December of 2017. Some experts at Barclays are warning that it might not come back up.
The Independent reported that analysts at UK’s Barclays Bank created a model in order to examine the rise and fall of Bitcoins value on the market. The end result of the experiment was that the price of Bitcoin charted like a viral disease that has now been treated.
Barclays’ economists explained their methodology saying “We developed a theoretical model of an asset price with a pool of speculative investors and compared it with actual bitcoin price behavior to see what it might imply for the future dynamics”
The conclusion of the experiment as reported by Barclays was that “The model has clear parallels with compartmental models of the spread of an infectious disease in epidemiology.”
From this model the analysts have extrapolated that Bitcoin will continue on the “downward spiral” it’s been on since the beginning of the year while at the same time hesitating to predict it will fall below $6,000.
Bulls Aren’t Buying Viral Explanation
The Independent article balances Barclays’ prediction by including the more bullish predictions of former COO for Skype Micheal Jackson who sees a very different future for Bitcoin.
The Independent quoted Jackson as saying that the recent price stagnation of Bitcoin “will appear trivial” by the end of the year. He went on to explain that,
“The price has been driven by speculators and they suddenly got cold feet but there’s considerable effort going on behind the scenes, including new underlying technology that is powering faster transactions,”
Jackson speculated that the increase of regulation will ease consumer risk and optimistically predicted: “I see no reason why bitcoin shouldn’t fulfill its dream.”
Meanwhile, Funstrat’s expert analyst Tom Lee has linked the stagnated price of Bitcoin to the looming April 17 tax date in the US. Lee notes that US investors in cryptocurrency owe an estimated $25 billion in capital gains tax.
Lee told CNBC recently that although the cryptocurrency market has lost some fifty percent of its value in the first quarter of 2018 those who capitalized on its meteoric rise in 2017 now owe taxes on their profits.
A team of Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) researchers is arguing that bitcoin is one of the "greatest asset price bubbles in history."
In a note released Sunday, the team led by chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett went so far as to categorize the current market, which has seen a 60 percent correction so far in 2017, as a bubble that is already popping, Bloomberg reported.
A team of Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) researchers is arguing that bitcoin is one of the "greatest asset price bubbles in history."
In a note released Sunday, the team led by chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett went so far as to categorize the current market, which has seen a 60 percent correction so far in 2017, as a bubble that is already popping, Bloomberg reported.
The bank published a chart comparing bitcoin with famous financial manias: the Mississippi Company and South Sea Company in the 18th century, gold, the U.S. stock market in 1929 and the Dutch tulip bubble in 1637.
A published chart shows that the bitcoin bubble has the greatest asset price appreciation by a significant margin. At its peak, bitcoin's price was nearly 60 times what it had been three years before. Dutch tulip prices only rose by a factor of around 40, the researchers said.
According to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, bitcoin peaked at $19,783 on Dec. 17. At the time of writing, it trades at $6,835.
BAML's chart shows the aftermath of famous historical bubbles as well as their run-up, indicating that once prices crash, they remain at their new, lower levels.
The same has not proved true of bitcoin so far, however. The recent bitcoin bubble is not history's - or event bitcoin's - greatest bubble. The price of bitcoin shot up 120-fold in 2010 and 2011, to around $11, before crashing. Its rise in 2013 and 2014 was also much steeper than the recent bull market.
That being said, comparisons between the 2017 bubble and previous ones were unfair, the note said. The 2017-2018 bubble had more capital invested in the market than either 2010-2011 or 2013-2014.
