Australian Company Loses $6.6M as Crypto Goes Missing
Australia-based Byte Power Party has lost USD 6.6 million after millions of Soarcoin tokens went missing when Singaporean company Soar Labs attempted to purchase a stake in the Australian firm without actually paying for it, reports CCN.
In June 2017, a month prior to Soar Labs’s token sale, Byte Power announced the Singaporean company would acquire a 49% stake in exchange for USD 5 million. Soar Labs paid a total of USD 100,000 in fiat and sent 306 million Soarcoins valued at USD 0.016 each to cover the rest.
In January, a large portion of the tokens was alleged to be suspended according to Soar Labs, as Byte Power was trying to clear debts by selling off the tokens at very low prices. A total of 179.2 million Soarcoins held by the company, plus 34.6 million held by Alvin Phua, Byte Power’s CEO, were frozen.

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Undergoes Biggest Jump in History
Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by 634 billion units on 5 June 2018, from 4.306 to 4.940 trillion units. This is the largest difficulty increase in history, and comes at a time when Bitcoin’s mining hash rate is rapidly accelerating. In the past year Bitcoin mining difficulty and hash rate has increased 728%.
This latest difficulty adjustment represents an increase of 14.71%, the largest increase since January 2018 when the cryptocurrency markets were in a frenzy as Bitcoin hit all-time highs near USD 20,000. There were several difficulty adjustments in excess of 15% during the Bitcoin rally, but the magnitude of the 5 June 2018 increase far exceeds any other difficulty increase on record.

Bitcoin Dev Corallo Suggests BetterHash Protocol for More Decentralized Mining
A Bitcoin core developer, Matt Corallo, has proposed a new protocol named BetterHash that would make Bitcoin mining more decentralized. He published a draft of the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal on GitHub.
The most widely deployed mining protocol, Stratum, requires pool operators to distribute block templates to pool users. This increases centralization of the Bitcoin mining process since pool operators can choose to selectively ignore protocol changes. The primary goal of BetterHash is to fix Stratum’s deficiencies.
It would be more decentralized if each individual miner could choose their block template, and this would end up covering a broader spectrum of protocols allowing more diversity of transactions into blocks, reducing censorship on the Bitcoin network. As things are, now the only way for miners to select their own block templates is to solo mine, which takes an extreme amount of mining equipment to have any success.

It Could Never Happen! 51% Blockchain Attacks on the Rise
It has been reported that 51% attacks on blockchain networks have become far more frequent events than once anticipated, with at least five cryptocurrencies being hit in the last month, reports Coindesk.
Monacoin, Bitcoin Gold, Zencash, Verge and now, Litecoin Cash have all recently been targeted and, in each case, networks have been severely compromised and transactions have been rearranged, resulting in heists of millions of dollars.

More Than 2 out of 3 Crypto Exchanges Don’t Know Their Customers (KYC)
A recent study held among 25 different cryptocurrency exchanges across Europe and the US revealed that only 32% perform full KYC identity checks on their users, writes Bitcoinist.
The study conducted by analytics house P.A.ID Strategies that out of these 25 exchanges, all based in the US and Europe, two-thirds failed to comply the requirements of the so-called Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure. New anti-money laundering regulations are due to come into effect in 2019, and it’s thought that the KYC checks will encourage crypto exchanges to examine their operations more carefully in terms of compliance.

Bithumb’s Clean Bill of Health Could Lift Crypto in South Korea
Bithumb, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, has been cleared by local financial authorities and the National Tax Service (NTS) of illicit activities, tax evasion, and suspicious business operations, reports CCN.
The South Korean government had been monitoring the exchange, along with UPbit, another of the country’s main exchanges, after investors had expressed concerns. Both companies were then investigated for potential malpractice and suspicious business activities.
It was found that apart from Bithumb being ordered to pay USD 28 million in taxes, neither the NTS, Financial Services Commission (FSC), or Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KFIU), along with other government agencies could find any evidence of improper practices regarding either company.

How Much Do Dollar and Euro Inflation Impact Bitcoin’s Price?
Bitcoin’s price is primarily measured relative to fiat currencies like the USD, EUR, JPY, KRW, and formerly the CNY before China banned yuan to Bitcoin trading in September 2017. In the English speaking world, the US dollar (USD) and the Euro (EUR) are the primary fiat currencies. Both are subject to constant inflation due to increasing money supply from money printing by their respective central banks. This article explores just how much of an influence their inflation has, if any, on Bitcoin’s price.

Indian Ponzi Mastermind Offers to Pay Back Investments, but Not at Current Value

Billionaire Investor Mike Novogratz Says Cryptocurrency Market Cap Will Hit 20 Trillion USD
Billionaire investor Mike Novogratz commented at the Bloomberg Invest Summit that cryptocurrency’s market cap is heading towards 20 trillion USD. This would be a tremendous increase from the current cryptocurrency market cap near 340 billion USD today.
If the cryptocurrency market cap hits 20 trillion USD like Mike Novogratz expects, it would be approximately a 6000% price increase. Each Bitcoin would possibly be worth 500,000 USD in such a scenario. Although this price increase sounds huge and unrealistic, it is not unprecedented for the cryptocurrency world. Since the first Bitcoin purchase occurred in 2010, a couple large pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, the price of Bitcoin is up over 200 million percent. When viewed in that perspective the 6,000% increase that Mike Novogratz is called for doesn’t seem so crazy.
