Daily Digest & News: Twitter bans ICO ads!!

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

This is NOT financial advice

Market Analysis

  • BTC dipped down below $8,000 levels, reaching a low of $7,700 before rebounding to $7,925
  • I would be weary of going long, as this looks like a fake breakout with it’s low volume, but it’s too early to be certain

Daily News

Coinbase announced today their intention to support the Ethereum ERC20 technical standard in the coming months. However, they are treading cautiously on the decision to add new coins. Since Coinbase is not a licensed broker, at least not yet, it cannot trade instruments that qualify as securities. The SEC is still conducting dozens of investigations concerning initial coin offerings (ICOs) and the regulator seems to be gathering information in an effort to make a ruling on when a crypto token is a security.

This is reflected in the market sentiment as historically, Coinbase announcements have caused huge retail influxes of retail investors, erratic price swings, and even allegations of market manipulation. But prices are down across the board today and there has been very little reaction to Coinbase’s momentous announcement.

Twitter announced Monday that cryptocurrency advertisements would be banned from the website starting Tuesday. All ads related to initial coin offerings (ICOs), token sales, exchanges and wallet services - excluding public companies listed on major stock markets - will be removed from the site. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has previously acknowledged the proliferation of cryptocurrency scam accounts, pledging to crack down on users or bot accounts seeking cryptocurrencies from others.

The hacker(s) behind the $550 million theft of 500 million NEM tokens from Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck are reportedly close to cashing out their ill-gotten gains completely. As things stand, the money launderers are expected to cash out their coins – already swapped from NEM to other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin – in overseas exchanges that do not adhere to stringent know-your-customer (KYC) or ID norms.

Meanwhile, Tokyo-based Coincheck has kept its promise to refund NEM holders impacted by the breach by beginning to distributing reparations in Japanese Yen on March 12.

Bull needs bear bath . This always has been the case . Inexperinced hands shake off , overtime it also heals and becomes matures. Under the hood blockchain continues to attract more and more core projects into it. And thats exciting to watch as the wider adoption and speculation unfolds.

bitcoin don`t care

Very nice analysis. . amazing information about cryptocurrency.. this update news helps us to move forward in this platform. . @boxmining
Thank you so much for revealing another great news which is very useful. .

To me it looks like Cryptos being pushed down due to FUD and news of possible regulation. HODL. Short term is uncertain. Long term looks good.

@boxmining You are really a great man and always come with great news You share a lot, you spend your time for keeping us upto date, well the market is moving forward, good for us.

this condition will be complicated. in general would have an impact on the loss of trust. doing imaging to clear the name will take a long time. but it needs to be taken seriously, because it deals with people's finances. surely there are many who are harmed, although on the dark side there are many who benefit. Good luck

Its confusion all over crypto market
Well when the come to fly crypto
In space.

may be. but not yet certain

These social networking sites see crypto as a competition that they can't overcome. That's why they've started to ban em

For bitcoin or crypto's in general's price to go back up, I think we're gonna need real adoption this time. The december-january hype is over.

they will try their best to supress crypto growth
as they cant compete with it

thanks for keeping us updated

Twitter is the latest social service to boot out cryptocurrency advertisers. The company told Reuters it will be launching a new policy this week to prohibit the advertising of token sales/initial coin offerings (ICOs), and crypto wallet services. Ads for cryptocurrency exchanges will also be banned — with some limited exceptions. Facebook announced a ban in January, while Google said earlier this month that it will ban them from June.

Thanks for sharing i like your post

BTC will surely go up, we have to have patience. And about Twitter, isn't it obvious. Every social media platform is going to ban everything related crypto. Crypto is taking the market share of these platforms. It was bound to happen, let them do what they want to do.
Lol. Haters gonna hate.

LIMITED OFFER! Send 1 SBD or STEEM to @fubaki0651 with post URL in Memo and get 4 SBD upvote on your post. Pre-service-launch PROMOTION is valid till 1st april..

Amazing bitcoin....

Good round up.

I genuinely see the Twitter/Facebook/Google bans as being a good thing, if they prevent scam coins from taking money from new investors (hopefully, experienced investors and traders will be better equipped to spot the crap). It's almost the start of self (decentralized) regulation.

you always giving good idea and information of cryptocurrency,,,thanks for sharing

they are try their best to crypto growth
thanks

good bitcoin
@boxmining

Thank you Michael for your great work. :)

Thanks a lot Mikel for your digest updates. Really epic work my friend.

First, it was facebook banning, then Google, now twitter! How many more?
But anyways, the effect on digital currencies can only be short term as proved by the previous bans.
