📌 Bitcoin shows record growth rates

The $8,000 barrier is passed; now the leading currency is trading near the $8,100 mark

Upd upd upd: there is some opinion that SEC will not delay decision about ETFs.

Hello there! As you have already noticed, Bitcoin is now becomes faster in its rising, moving toward $9,000 and $10,000, respectively. After jumping over the $7,800 - $8,000 corridor, the most capitalized currency feels extremely confident. However, many experts still remind us to be cautious about trading - because large volumes can distract us from the overall picture.

But, as it can be said, even skeptic economists shouldn't become complete wet blanket.

At the moment, the total capitalization of the crypto-currency market exceeded $300B (now this value has decreased). But, while the price of Bitcoin shows a maximum of the last two months (the highest values of $8,360 on Bitfinex), SEC delays decision on five Bitcoin ETFs until September.

📌 Bitcoin Exchange founder admitted fraud after a few years

Know more about details of the fraudulent scheme that has become a failure for investors (source)

July 2013 was a key point at the beginning of the careless economic plan for John Montroll (the founder of BitFunder). Together with the partners, WeExchange and Australia Pty Ltd, John sold shares of business companies for Bitcoins, summing up capital and taking it for personal use.

Further, he proposed the Ukyo.Loan stocks for all positively minded investors; thus, interest to the exchange has increased. Among all the promises of Montroll became known: "daily interest" and "redemption of shares at any time."

However, soon the unstable system was exposed to external risk, namely hacking. It is curious that the fact of the hacker attack was hidden from investors; promised payments were stopped. Later, after when 6,000 BTC in total were stolen, and a criminal case was created, John started to give false testimory, which also played a bad role in his case.

Now, the judge has postponed sentencing for Montroll, and his fate is in the hands of justice.
