World Payments Report 2018: DLT Falls Short of Meeting Financial Market Demands
The World Payments Report 2018 published Oct. 16 has found that distributed ledger technology (DLT) is not currently capable of meeting financial market demands. The annual report was jointly compiled by consulting and technology services firm Capgemini and leading European bank BNP Paribas.
To prepare the report, researchers conducted an assessment based on multiple criteria, including industry governance, market dynamics, demographics, and enabling infrastructure. The companies also interviewed executives and distributed an online survey to industry participants.
In the report, the authors address challenges facing DLT adoption. Of all the participants in the poll, 85.9 percent reportedly cited lack of interoperability, 83.1 percent lack of regulatory clarity, and 77.8 percent the scalability issue, as factors limiting adoption. Over 60 percent of respondents highlighted such problems as security, cost of implementation, and time required to add a block to the transaction.
The report also stated that DLT innovation and projects were often confined to research labs or to the proof-of-concept (PoC) stage. A lack of interoperability between DLT and banking systems purportedly stymies the implementation of scalable solutions. “Multiple DLT systems create a fragmented market with limited connectivity between solutions, which leads to inefficiencies and limited adoption,” the report further reads.

Chinese Mining Hardware Manufacturers to Fall Under US Tariff Increases
Major mining hardware producers, such as Bitmain, Canaan and Ebang, could be affected by recently imposed U.S. sanctions on Chinese goods, Hong Kong’s English-language newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports Tuesday, Oct. 16.
Analysts cited by SCMP believe these tariffs could possibly affect China’s major mining hardware producers, as the technology was reclassified by the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to fall under a stricter tariff regime.
This summer the Trump administration significantly increased U.S. tariffs on more than 250 Chinese goods. In June, the USTR reclassified Bitmain’s Antminer S9 as an “electrical machinery apparatus,” subjecting it to a 2.6 percent tariff. Additional tariffs were introduced in August, when fees were increased up to 25 percent on $267 billion of Chinese-made imports.
The 25 percent tariff combined with the previous regime means that mining hardware manufacturers face a 27.6 percent tariff, where previously there was zero. Ben Gagnon, the co-founder of Bitcoin (BTC) mining hardware developer LuTech, told SCMP:
“All manufacturers of mining rigs based in China will likely be affected by the tariff code change and, in turn, captured by the US trade tariff.”

Canadian Firm to Build Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Platform for Cannabis Industry
Canada-based blockchain and crypto company DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (DMG) has announced the development of a global supply chain management platform for the legal cannabis industry, according to an announcement published Oct. 17.
As reported by Canada’s national public news and information service CBC, the country’s government officially legalized recreational marijuana as of today. Cannabis was previously available only for medicinal use within the country.
According to Health Canada, there are currently over 120 licensed cannabis producers in Canada, where one of the top producers has already stated that labor shortages and supply chain issues could lead to scarcity soon after it becomes legal.
DMG is currently negotiating with marijuana industry players, quality assurance labs, distributors, and regulators about launching its cannabis supply chain solution in compliance with industry specific requirements. Among the planned capabilities of the new blockchain platform, DMG cites interoperation with legacy systems, onboarding of new participants, as well as defective product recall.

UK Foreign Exchange Firm Joins Ripple Blockchain RippleNet
Moneynetint, a UK-based provider of foreign exchange services for the corporate sector has integrated and deployed decentralized payments using Ripple blockchain network RippleNet.
Based in London with a focus on payment services for corporate clients, Moneynetint revealed an ongoing collaboration with San Francisco-based blockchain industry giant Ripple on Tuesday.
The payments platform, which provides cross-border money transfers and currency exchange services, said it has completed the integration phase with Ripple and has now fully deployed the blockchain solution with payments received from other RippleNet members elsewhere, in a press release shared with CCN.
RippleNet is Ripple’s enterprise blockchain network with over 100 members including banks, payment providers and remittance operators globally.
Ripple’s director of account management Nadeem Ladki lauded the addition of the UK-based firm to RippleNet due to its ability to facilitate payouts in Israeli fiat.
He stated:
“Their ability to now facilitate payouts in Israeli New Shekel – in addition to Euros – on behalf of other RippleNet members is another big step in expanding the overall network. By leveraging Ripple’s blockchain technology, Moneynetint will now be able to simplify and reduce the FX conversion rates for their customers, increase the speed of settlement and offer services to new markets that would otherwise have been too difficult or too costly to reach in the past.”

Bitcoin Has Hit the Bottom: Why it is Unlikely to Fall Below $6,000
After rising to $6,700 on fiat-to-crypto exchanges and achieving $7,700 on Bitfinex, Bitcoin has stabilized at $6,500.
Over the past 48 hours, the volume of Bitcoin has risen from $3.2 billion to $7 billion at its peak, but has since dropped to $4 billion. In a two-day period, BTC has shown a 25 percent increase in its daily trading volume, which can be considered as a positive indicator for the short-term trend of the digital asset.
Can Bitcoin Defend $6,000 Support Level?
The general sentiment regarding the mid-term price trend of Bitcoin is if BTC can successfully and comfortably defend the $6,000 support level in the weeks to come, then a large shakeout or a significant drop to the low $5,000 region is highly unlikely.
Based on the stability BTC has demonstrated since early August and the fact that the dominant cryptocurrency had not fallen below the $6,000 mark as the daily trading volume of the asset reached its yearly low, it has become more challenging for bears to bring down the value of BTC in the short-term.

Police: Dispute over Bitcoin Account Led to Connecticut Home Invasion
Two women have been arrested in connection with a March home invasion in Killingly, CT, where victims were not only robbed but also allegedly pistol-whipped and attacked with an electric cattle prod. The incident, police said, was the tragic culmination of a dispute involving a bitcoin account.
Incident Details
Apparently, the home invasion occurred because a female victim opened a bitcoin account for one of the alleged home invasion suspects, Monique Delannoy-Jodoin, 59, who police said is a resident of Manville, RI. Police also stated that Ms. Delannoy-Jodoin was already under investigation for narcotic sales and delivery through the postal system. The other suspect was Beatriz Viruet, 38, who is a resident of Providence, RI.
The female renter claimed to recognize two of the home invaders, who then pistol-whipped one occupant on the head, and utilized an electric cattle prod on another occupant. The female renter was able to escape to a neighbor’s house, but not one of the suspects was able to force entry into the bathroom, where the renter was hiding, using a hammer.
The suspects stole money, cell phones, and a television, according to local authorities. Allegedly, one of the suspects, told the other to “shoot the victims,” as well.

Debunked: How Nouriel Roubini Failed to Attack Crypto with Cherrypicked Data
Recognized economist Nouriel Roubini, a professor at Stern School and NYU, recently launched a series of attacks against the crypto sector.
All of the False Claims Roubini Made
He claimed Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin amassed a wealth of a billion dollars by creating a pre-mined blockchain network, and said public blockchain protocols are unusable due to $60 fees — all of which are completely false.
Buterin disclosed that he had never held more than 0.9 percent of Ethereum’s total supply and had nowhere close to a billion dollars. Bitcoin fee is estimated to be around $0.1 according to Blockchain, not $60.
First claim: Bitcoin transaction fee is $60
Absurdly, Roubini decided to utilize a narrative that Bitcoin’s transaction fee is $60 and to pay for products of less value such as a cup of coffee, it costs upwards of $63.
For instance, Roubini stated that to purchase a Starbucks latte, which costs $2.9, one would have to pay $63 to buy with BTC.
However, the transaction fee of BTC is publicly available and verifiable data, which can be easily refuted. Hence, as Blocktower co-founder Ari Paul said, it remains unclear why Roubini led his criticism against crypto with a piece of information that can be refuted by anyone with ease.
“BTC fees are less than $0.10, easily verifiable. If you value truth, you’d provide a public correction. If your goal is to mislead people with simply false statements, carry on. There’s nothing to research. Fees are publicly viewable from many sources (googling it works.) I find it better not to provide a specific source because then regardless of source, the source gets attacked,” Paul said.
More importantly, an investor of BTC recently moved 29,999 BTC worth $194 million on the Bitcoin blockchain with a fee of $0.1. With legacy systems, it costs over a hundred thousand dollars to move an amount that is larger than $10 million.
Second claim: Crypto is printed out of nowhere
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many public blockchain protocols utilize a consensus algorithm called Proof of Work (PoW), which requires miners to verify transactions and generate cryptocurrencies with a large amount of energy and hardware costs.
Currently, at the price of $6,500, BTC mining is nearly at a breakeven level, which means miners are generating BTC without any profit by foreseeing an increase in the value of the BTC in the long-term.
Hence, the claim that crypto can be printed out of nowhere is false as miners need to cover significant expenses required to maintain a blockchain network.
Third claim: Buterin stole 75% of Ethereum’s supply
Earlier this month, Roubini claimed Joseph Lubin and Vitalik Buterin, the two co-creators of Ethereum, stole 75 percent of the supply of ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum protocol.
“Vitalik Buterin was the ringleader – together with Joe Lubin – of the criminal pre-mining sale/scam that created Ether. They stole 75% of the Ether supply and became instant ‘millionaires’ of fake wealth.”
In response, Buterin reaffirmed that he had never held more than 0.9 percent of Ethereum’s supply, instantaneously refuting the claim of Roubini. The third claim was also easy to disprove because through blockchain explorers, anyone on the network can publicly and transparently verify wallets and transactions.
“I never personally held more than 0.9% of all ETH, and my net worth never came close to $1 billion. Also, I’m pretty sure there are no criminal laws against pre-mining,” said Buterin.
Why did Roubini do this?
It remains unclear why Roubini, who is respected in his field of economics and finance, decided to attack an industry with a series of arguments and claims that can be disproved with sufficient evidence and data that is available to the public.

However, the transaction fee of BTC is publicly available and verifiable data, which can be easily refuted. Hence, as Blocktower co-founder Ari Paul said, it remains unclear why Roubini led his criticism against crypto with a piece of information that can be refuted by anyone with ease.
“BTC fees are less than $0.10, easily verifiable. If you value truth, you’d provide a public correction. If your goal is to mislead people with simply false statements, carry on. There’s nothing to research. Fees are publicly viewable from many sources (googling it works.) I find it better not to provide a specific source because then regardless of source, the source gets attacked,” Paul said.
More importantly, an investor of BTC recently moved 29,999 BTC worth $194 million on the Bitcoin blockchain with a fee of $0.1. With legacy systems, it costs over a hundred thousand dollars to move an amount that is larger than $10 million.
Second claim: Crypto is printed out of nowhere
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many public blockchain protocols utilize a consensus algorithm called Proof of Work (PoW), which requires miners to verify transactions and generate cryptocurrencies with a large amount of energy and hardware costs.
Currently, at the price of $6,500, BTC mining is nearly at a breakeven level, which means miners are generating BTC without any profit by foreseeing an increase in the value of the BTC in the long-term.
Hence, the claim that crypto can be printed out of nowhere is false as miners need to cover significant expenses required to maintain a blockchain network.
Third claim: Buterin stole 75% of Ethereum’s supply
Earlier this month, Roubini claimed Joseph Lubin and Vitalik Buterin, the two co-creators of Ethereum, stole 75 percent of the supply of ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum protocol.
“Vitalik Buterin was the ringleader – together with Joe Lubin – of the criminal pre-mining sale/scam that created Ether. They stole 75% of the Ether supply and became instant ‘millionaires’ of fake wealth.”
In response, Buterin reaffirmed that he had never held more than 0.9 percent of Ethereum’s supply, instantaneously refuting the claim of Roubini. The third claim was also easy to disprove because through blockchain explorers, anyone on the network can publicly and transparently verify wallets and transactions.
“I never personally held more than 0.9% of all ETH, and my net worth never came close to $1 billion. Also, I’m pretty sure there are no criminal laws against pre-mining,” said Buterin.
Why did Roubini do this?
It remains unclear why Roubini, who is respected in his field of economics and finance, decided to attack an industry with a series of arguments and claims that can be disproved with sufficient evidence and data that is available to the public.

Norwegian Man Brutally Murdered Following In-Person Bitcoin Trade
A Norwegian man was brutally stabbed to death shortly after completing an in-person cash-for-bitcoin exchange, and investigators believe that the two events may be linked.
According to Norwegian news organization TV 2, the stabbing occurred on Monday morning at the 24-year-old victim’s apartment in Majorstuen, an affluent neighborhood in Oslo, likely between 7:50 am and 12:10 pm — when one of his roommates discovered the crime scene.
Sources within the Oslo police department told TV 2 that the murder victim had completed a bitcointrade shortly before the tragic incident and that others within his social circle were aware of his cryptocurrency dealings.
Grete LIen Metlid, the leader of the Oslo police department’s head of intelligence and investigations unit, told the publication that investigators were aware of a tip involving a possible bitcoin connection, but he declined to elaborate further.
“We are familiar with a tip about Bitcoin, but at this time we will not provide more information about the investigation,” said Metlid, according to a rough translation, adding that the department investigates “widely” and that “economic motives” are always a primary area of interest for investigators.
As of the time of writing, the police did not have any suspects, nor had they made any arrests. Per local reports, forensic analysts continued to investigate the scene on Wednesday night.
