This week in crypto, analysts predicted Bitcoin may go higher after breaching USD 10k. Justin Sun told people to buy his ‘shitcoin,’ and OKChain testnet went live; Voice Beta went live too, but not for all. Meanwhile, Ripple announced partnership with the National Bank of Egypt, Hadera is working with Google Cloud, BlockFi raised USD 30M and will open a Singapore office, Samsung is playing games with the Cryptoverse, and Huobi joined LG on the Klaytn council, while JPMorgan’s Quorum may merge with ConsenSys. On the other hand, Poloniex rolled back 12 minutes of trading history after a bug detected in the system caused trades to be executed erroneously, Fcoin reported damages systems and lost data and is currently down, and there’s no reprieve for LocalBitcoins traders whose BTC remains locked up. Also, while ETH grows on gaming dapps and Tron on Gambling dapps, EOS is going downhill.

Furthermore, the IRS said “no taxes on gaming cash.” As the Cryptoverse cheered on US Federal Reserve Chairman’s remarks, missing the warnings, cryptocurrency and blockchain industry officials were displeased with proposed leverage capping at Japanese exchanges. While Neogen Corporation partnered with Ripe Technology to track food and animal sources, Beijing launched a blockchain-powered loans platform to help keep small and medium-sized companies affected by the coronavirus afloat. FCA ordered the London Underground to take down advertisements for startup Zeux, and a Bithumb senior employee was found guilty of breaches of internet security law. And lastly, we looked into how Bitcoin-only narrative might help altcoins in 2020, and what crypto-related lawsuits can teach us.

And now – a spectacle!
