Looks like we're never going to get our Blockchain Terminals...Guess it's still phone and PC trading for the foreseeable future. Shame, no-one believes that I'm a "pro trader" while flipping shitcoins on my iPhone.
"In 2017, CG Blockchain launched an “Initial Coin Offering” (ICO), and began marketing its new product – “Blockchain Terminal” – to potential investors. CG Blockchain described Blockchain Terminal as a computer terminal that allowed hedge funds and financial institutions to trade and manage cryptocurrency. Manor actively marketed the token to investors, while failing to disclose his true identity or his role at CG Blockchain. The defendants also misrepresented to ICO investors that the Blockchain Terminal had “Actual Clients” and was “installed at 20 hedge funds.”
In 2018, CG Blockchain publicly announced that it had raised $30 million from its ICO. Following the ICO, CG Blockchain investors learned of Manor’s true identity and criminal past. When confronted by an investor, Manor admitted that he had hidden his real identity and criminal past because disclosure of that information would have resulted in “the company being destroyed.”

When I help the elderly to own their first bitcoin or crypto (ex. My grandmom), I always have an extra copy of private key backed up for them. Store in hard wallet or mobile cold wallet protected by facial recognition.

The second part is having a quick peek to January’s 2020 rewards for the people who already stake: Wolf Crypto’s community node and Rufy’s node.
As the platform is just launching today, they are not even aware of the results and they are heading for a great surprise.
As you remember, we guarantee at least 25%-30% a year, or more, if your processing fees are higher. Well, it looks like these guys are on a run rate of 50% a year!
This can even grow over time as the network keeps growing. We’re extremely happy with these results and I'm sure the stakers will as well.

Chiliz Launches Crypto Exchange for Trading Sports Fan Tokens
Malta-based sports blockchain venture Chiliz is launching a cryptocurrency exchange for sports and entertainment tokens
This actually pretty big news. The idea isn't that much of an original one, but the fact that it's backed by Tether, the seemingly teflon covered stable coin that's deflected all attempts on its life in the last few years and the fact it will will be traded on Bitfinex, at least at face value, makes this the best option for crypto traders looking to get exposure to a physical asset like gold.
The fact you can now trade a volitile crypto assest like BTC, into a stable synthetic USD and/or a less volitile (yet still gainable) synthetic Gold asset, with significant liquidity, is actually a massive leap forward in this space.
Tether Gold will be available both as an ERC-20 token and a TRC-20 token.
"The XAU₮ token will represent ownership of one troy fine ounce of physical gold on a specific London Good Delivery gold bar. The company claims the token is the only gold-backed coin that guarantees direct control over the physical gold storage. All XAU₮ tokens will be stored in a vault in Switzerland, guarded with best in class security and anti-threat measures, it said in the announcement."
...there's a Peter Schiff joke somewhere in this for sure...

How the BCH developer tax affects BTC miners
On January 22, 2020, a group of BCH mining pool operators (including Jihan Wu of Bitmain) came out with an announcement to establish a mandatory dev tax in the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network. For a trial period of six months, these pools will allocate 12.5% of…
