  • Fidelity Will Offer Cryptocurrency In A Few Weeks

     

  • Binance is going to allow Margin Trading

    Kinda hilariously updated in the same tweet where they mention the hack, as the 2nd most important thing.

• Executives polled on Crypto (K)

  • Poll by Deloitte conducted of 1,386 Senior Executives (500m+US, 100m World)Feb-March, dozen countries (Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Luxembourg, Singapore, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States)
    • 53% Say blockchain is top five strategic priorities (up from 43% in 2018)
    • Financial sector is leader in adoption right now, but we do see technology, media, and healthcare diversifying blockchain projects
    • 27% said important but not top priority, 14% some relevance but not strategic initiative
    • Only 3% said it would not be relevant, down from 4% last year
    • 86% Broadly scalable and will eventually achieve mainstream adoption, 83% said their executive teams see compelling case for blockchain
    • 81% plan on replacing systems of record, 77% think the lose competitive advantage if they dont adopt.
    • Over-hyped? 43% said yes
  • BRENT RANT

• TRON suffered from a critical bug that could have brought their entire blockchain to a screeching halt (ADAM)

  TRON suffered from a critical bug that could've crashed its entire blockchain

  • This took place in January, and the bounty was paid in Feb., but was just disclosed May 2.
  • Using a single machine, an attacker could send a DDoS attack to all or 51 percent of the [Super Representative] nodes and render TRON network unusable, or make it unavailable
  • This flaw in TRON‘s wallet allowed all of the network‘s available memory to be taken up by a single party with just one computer, which would have effectively broken the blockchain during that time
  • This was discovered by a company / person called HackerOne, and disclosure was just released. They were also paid for one other bug where they were paid double the bounty that they haven't disclosed the nature of.

• BINANCE HACK (Brent)

  • Just want to do a quick follow up about the thought of a re-org
  • CZ Basically said something stupid on his live stream
  • He took it back within the hour.
  • You do need to reset your 2FA keys
  • Also disable any API keys you have, and maybe re-enable if you trust them?
  • https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1126109361154215936

• Block-chain Researchers weigh in on Wright Lawsuit (K)

  • Let's Catchup
    • Self proclaimed Satoshi, aka Faketoshi Craig Wright sued by (David) Kleiman family
    • Accused of stealing $11b worth of bitcoin, intellectual property
    • Last week the court ordered Wright to disclose bitcoin addresses that belonged to him before 2013....which remember he claimed to have mind the first 70 blocks

  • So.....

    • He turns in a list of the 70 addresses, it was redacted & unsealed

    • This is what his lawyer writes regarding the addresses...

      Dr. Wright knows that he mined the first 70 blocks on the blockchain. Because the public addresses associated with blocks are publicly available, Dr. Wright is able to identify the public addresses associated with the first 70 blocks on the blockchain and provides those public addresses below.

  • WizSec (Bitcoin Security Specialists) Write a report

    • First they point out we have no reason to believe these bitcoins even exists
    • Basically Wrights claim is he didnt remember the addresses...but he can share them since they are one the blockchain and he mines bitcoin

    • We know because even though list is redacted the addresses match up perfectly

    • "It beggars belief, for the self-proclaimed inventor of Bitcoin to act so ignorant about the fundamentals of his invention. Perhaps Wright thinks that being a bitcoin miner means pointing at bitcoins and yelling "Mine!"?

• More Bitfinex Shit (B)
  • Reggie Fowler is somehow connected to this. He used to play football years ago and was an owner of the Vikings.
  • The accusation is that Fowler opened a bunch of bank accounts to make it easier for Bitfinex to move money around. The connection was made because modernconsensus.com noticed the bank account was one of Fowler's in the actual indictment.
  • There was another warrant issues for a Israeli citizen named Ravid Yosef. Shes also a dating coach.
  • Fowler has had a few other scandals (He's been sued 36 times) and accusations, but this one in particular is saying that he worked with Yosef to run a "shadow bank" to process US based payments. Their charges are conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
  • There's even chats out there where the owner of Bitfinex is asking the company CryptoCapital for millions of dollars - even yelling at them for not sending any money this month. CryptoCapital is the company that these bank accounts from the Football player and Dating coach are linked to.
  • When Fowler was arrested he had $14,000 worth of fake $100 bills at his office.
  • There's also possible ties to both Colombian Cartels and Quadriga which we won't get into, but the links are in the shownotes if you want to learn more - this all centers around CryptoCapital
    • Here
    • And here
• Ethereum PoS Testnet is Live (A)
  • Ethereum 2.0 is an upcoming new Eth chain with improvements in security, scalability, and decentralization.
  • Shards are a core concept behind Eth 2.0. Sharding refers to splitting the entire Ethereum network into multiple portions called shards. Each shard would contain its own independent state, aka a unique set of account balances and smart contracts. It will help scale
  • Testnet is publicly accessible with links to start staking. It's bare bones.
• Crypto Around the World (K)
  • Facebook’s Secret Cryptocurrency Just ‘Months Away’ from India Launch (K)
    • Project Libra may be launching in a few months
      • stable-coin type coin, probably for buying stuff on FB or sending $ thru Whatsapp
    • One main reason to launch in India, facilitate remittance payments for its WhatsApp users lol (200m)
    • Then they cite a crypto guy with a crypto fund saying this will be good for crypto
    • Trajectory? Led by former PayPal president David Marcus, 1/5th of blockchain team are PayPal alumni
  • Facebook Ads
    • Facebook reverses ban on crypto ads —-Although cryptocurrency ads are once again permitted on Facebook, advertisements for initial coin offerings (ICOs) will still be rejected.
    • That doesn't mean its easy, everything still needs review.
    • Also a good chance there's a snafu when some scam exchanges start promoting.
    • Basically they're going to default to yes vs default to no.

Binance was hacked, this is not a drill. Guess what? Everything is fine. Adam and Brent decide to talk abou this for a quick episode of the podcast, and of course, there's some Jutin Sun bullshit thrown in on the top of it all.

This week's top story - Tether is in trouble again. Is this a tale of sound and fury signifying nothing like the Bitcoin Maximalists such as Adam Back would like you to believe? Or is there something more going on here? Before we get to that story we talk about Vitalik, Elon, some scams and more.

• Rapid Fire

  • Coinbase Custody now offers their first chain swap with KIN. Offline storage and insurance coverage

    Mainnet KIN is now available on Coinbase Custody

  • NYTimes is now routinely reporting on crypto. In this case it's 1q thefts—roughly 1.2 billion

    Cryptocurrency Thefts, Fraud Hit $1.2 Billion in First Quarter-Report

  • Electrum wallet botnet infects 152,000 users, steals $4.6mill USD

    In response to this, attackers then started DDoSing legitimate Electrum servers in an attempt to trick older clients into connecting to malicious nodes, while legitimate nodes becoming overwhelmed.

    Rapidly Growing Electrum Botnet Infects Over 152,000 Users; Steals $4.6 Million

  • Ethereum.org has gone through a redesign relaunching as a work in project like Ethereum itself being iterated by the community just like Ethereum.

    r/ethtrader - ethereum.org completely redesigned

    Bitcoin whale moved $212 million in cryptocurrency - for just $3.93

• Vitalik and Elon chat on Twitter (Story 1)

  Elon Musk on Twitter

  • Elon Musk on Monday sent out a one word tweet, Ethereum. Then apparently said jk. Then Vitalik got involved and said to come to Devcon in Denver. THe internet erupted. How absurd is it that someone can just say one word on the internet and have the internet in an uproar.
  • Then Elon asked what should be developed on Ethereum and Vitalik replied with a mini tweet storm on projects with different use cases he likes on the Ethereum platform
  • MolochDAO, Ethereum Name Service, Ethresear.ch, Hurricaneguard.io were all named.
  • then a bunch of trolls on twitter said dumb things about tesla and crypto. Justin Sun got in there to mention Tron, all the regulars (Pomp, Ari David Paul, Neeraj)
  • hope something comes of it at some point
• Crypto_Brahma Scam - Brent
  • I don't know anything about who this was before - but I looked into it a little bit because of this letter I came across on Twitter to his "group" .
  • He ran a paid Discord group where you could join and get some trading advice and get gems from him. ONLY 35 MONTHLY MEMBERS....but he was actually running two of these exclusive groups simultaneously.
  • It was called the fucking Moon Club
  • Apparently at some point he decided to do a fund.
  • ANNNNNNNND It's gone.
  • https://twitter.com/The_CryptoArnie/status/1123215814998540289/photo/1
  • Literally he took everyone's money, gambled it via a bad call on Margin trading, and then sent a letter saying that he'd totally get everyone their money back. He just needed to clear his head so that he could trade in a stress free environment. Timeline - 5 Months. LOLOL

• Millions in Crypto Stolen first quarter 2019.... and its gonna need laundering (Karim)

  • Article based on a report by company called CipherTrace, 'Q1 2019 Cryptocurrency AML Report'
  • Estimates $356 million stolen, and payments from US based exchanges to offshore crypto wallets up 46%
    • $16m from Cryptopia in January
    • CoinBene and DragonEx (Singapore) combined $46m in March (ETH backed)
    • Bithumb in S Korea $13m in EOS stolen and (allegedly) another $6m in Ripple
      • Company described it as an "accident involving insiders" lol
    • Coinbin also S Korea forced into bankrupcy after loosing $26m, blamed an insider
    • And then there's QuadrigaCX...
      • The report 'tentatively' categorized the $190m as theft as opposed to hack or exit scam
  • Bottom line this money has to be cashed out in innovative ways to turn it into cash, and a lot of ways to exit US and European jurisdictions.
  • Article concludes with a warning that "A tsunami of tough, global antimoney laundering and counter-terror financing regulations will “roll over” the cryptocurrency ecosystem throughout the coming year",
  • Even links to an article showing Finland just recently adopted AML regulation for crypto

  • But one thing to keep in mind......

• Austin Transportation Partners With Iota Foundation to Develop Interoperability Ecosystem ADAM

  • visions of a system in which every transit system can interact with the same payment app and a single digital identity
  • this is the second partnership this week. the other is United Kingdom car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover will use Iota’s distributed ledger to reward drivers with cryptocurrency for data reporting
  • Iota and internet of things (IoT) firm Evrythng announced a partnership to combine and apply their distributed ledger and IoT technologies to provide greater transparency for consumer goods supply chains

• Bank of America secures patent for risk assessment of cryptocurrency transactions; (Karim)

  • BOA secured a patent on April 30 for a cryptocurrency risk detection system.
  • On the basis of the system, a risk score will be levied on cryptocurrency transactions between a customer and a third party.
  • 'Processor' would receive request for transaction with third party, then it can "perform a slew of functions, retrieve blockchain information, determine the value of crypto in the transaction or calculate the “risk score” of the transaction based on the preceding factors."
  • BOA also filed for a patent for crypto storage system for business transactions (Aug 2018)

• CoinMarketCap turned 6 yesterday - Adam

  Happy 6th Birthday! DATA Alliance, Block Explorers and more - CoinMarketCap

  • transparency alliance for cryptos and exchange. Basically KYC
  • list of 17 things for crypto and 24 for exchanges
  • starts in june 14th
  • CMC blocks explorers much like etherscan which will help users have more visibility into the blockchain
  • merch shop
  • finally have an Android app
  • ios updated version (so the search function ACTUALLY works)

• Main Story - Tether situation - Brent

  • The NY Attorney General released a statement saying that, among other things, Bitfinex used Tether to mask a missing $850 Million of their assets.
  • The response to the NYAG releasing this from Tether? Decidedly hand wavey - First it was from Bitfinex not Tether, but they're the same. They basically say that the money was "seized" and not hidden. They're setting up for the ol' "if they hadn't said anything it all would have been fine" defense.
  • Lets do a recap of the Tether red flags, YES red flags.
  • The original white paper is unequivocal in the backing of Tether - it will be backed on a 1:1 basis
  • The Paradise Papers leak showed that Phil Potter and Giancarlo Devasini are both a part of There and Bitfinex.
  • $30 Million dollars was "Stolen" but don't worry Tether won't be redeeming those Tethers so it's all fine.
  • They hired and fired an auditor named Friedman LLP.
  • They took any promise of getting audited out of their FAQ.
  • A few months ago we reported this but it bears mentioning again - Tether took down it's 100% backed statement and replaced it with a new one. "Every tether is always 100% backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties, which may include affiliated entities (collectively, “reserves”). Every tether is also 1-to-1 pegged to the dollar, so 1 USDâ‚® is always valued by Tether at 1 USD."
  • Now it gets even worse.
  • The Lawyer for Tether has admitted to the court in plain english that as of April 30, Tether is only about 74% backed by fiat equivalents, which is cash and short term securities.
  • It looks like this "seized" amount is a line of credit from Tether to Bitfinex, which is most likely going to function as one of those cash equivalents.
  • Tether did say that the terms of this credit line were negotiated "on an arms length basis on commercially reasonable terms"
  • Both agreements were singed by the same guy - Giancarlo Devasini.
  • Attorneys are arguing that Tether doesn't have to be 100% backed, it totally says so on the website.
  • If BSV got delisted because CSW is an asshole, I'm really hoping the community would put pressure on the exchanges to delist Tether.
  • They aren't.
  • Bitcoin maximalists like Adam Back seem to be aligned with Tether her, even comparing it to fractional reserve banking saying that it's way better than them. Sometimes the Bitcoin community makes it really hard to like them.
  • Finally - the ETH wallet on Bitfinex has been drained of 800k ETH in the last week, and they only have 1.1M ETH left. Good luck to all that have funds on there :(

  • Reddit User M0ountainDew - Dear Justin sun this is not a "comprehensive developer guide" this is just a list of where to buy Tron.

    It's literally a list (barely any of them linked) in alphabetical order - but Binance is at the top over aBCC Exchange.

  • You know we like to keep you up to date on Substratum bullshit

    Brian and William were posting again this week.

    Substratum Deleted the Team Members page of their website.

    Originally it could still be accessed directly just not clicked on from the main site.

    Now it's gone completely

    They also took down their whitepaper. Only "technical paper" is left.

• Rapid Fire

  • Yelp added a filter for whether a place accepts cryptocurrency or not.

     

  • BRAVE ADS ARE LIVE! Butttttttt not in my region. Damnit.

  • https://cryptocurrencynews.design/nike-releases-patent-for-cryptokicks-cryptocurrency/

    • files for patent in cryptocurrency space. The patent is for something called "Cryptokicks". Pure speculation but it could be a way to get shoes on the blockchain so when a shoe changes owners, it is cemented there. Secondary markets are huge with shoe sales. Also, could be an incentive system, reward mechanism so people can get CryptoKicks coins every time they purchase a Nike shoe.

    TD Ameritrade Reportedly Testing Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) Trading - BeInCrypto

• Bandit makes off with Million of ETH by brute force - BRENT

  • Has gotten away with nearly 45,000 ETH
  • There was a firm that was trying to find a way to guess wallets
  • They started with wallets that began with the number 1.
  • They then tried to narrow down the wallets with 2, 3, 4, and so on
  • When they actually managed to guess some, they were a little shocked to realize that the wallets had already been emptied.
  • They found 732 wallet keys with this method
  • They were all emptied by the same attacker
  • Their conclusion is that some ETH private keys can be guessed by using cloud computing tech - and this was likely from a wallet provider taking shortcuts in the code and cutting off a lot of the complex parts.
  • Or that the wallet's code was malicious to begin with.
  • They were also able to replicate the experiment on Bitcoin, but without finding as many private keys.
  • They still found 100 - and every wallet was also already emptied.

• BMW announces VerifyCar powered by VeChain (Story 1) -

  BMW using blockchain at VeChain Summit 2019

  • "We built a digital ledger using the VeChainThor blockchain, and every interaction of the car will have a stored hash key on the blockchain." - Cihan Albay, Lead of IT Tech Office Singapore BMW Group
  • This was announced at VeChain's first summit April 18th in San Francisco.
  • 3 blockchain use cases for why BMW - mobility services such as DriveNow & ParkNow to allow users to share cars like what Airbnb has done for the housing market. Supply chain and blockchain can help organize everything. Customers - help with loyalty programs and other financial services
  • VeChain has successfully gone thru the StartUp Garage, BMW's four month incubator and are working together moving forward
  • VerifyCar is a vehicle digital passport. Apparently odometer fraud is a big problem in the automotive industry. 1/3rd of all vehicles sold have manipulated odometers in Germany ($3400 fraud per car). This will allow verification of odometer and the maintenance history to be on the blockchain.

• Samsung has been doing some blockchain signaling. (BRENT)

  Samsung Developing Ethereum-Based Blockchain, May Issue Own Token - CoinDesk

  • First, they've invested $2.9 Million into Ledger. Check the shownotes for a ledger nano S referral link :)
  • Clearly they've heard the rumor that their wallet sucks

  • They're not done.

  • They've also started to develop an ETH Based sidechain

  • They aren't necessarily making Samsung coin
  • They're leaning towards a private blockchain.

• Binance DEX (BRENT)

  • Let's talk a little about the Binance "Decentralized Exchange"
  • Firstly this all comes with a migration to the Binance main-net
  • CZ has been very clear ETH is superior to their coin.
  • Binance coin has been one of the better investments of the year, we agree with a lot of what CZ does, and Binance is in my opinion a trusted exchange.
  • Here's the thing about the Binance "DEX" It's not really a DEX at all. They are not holding your crypto, but they also do have full control of the trading systems.
  • In the terms and services it does appear that they can freeze your assets. They might not be able to move them because they don't have custody, but they can stop you from doing so.
  • It's centralized because it's on a Delegated POS system, and it appears Binance has all the nodes.
  • Even though it's non-custodial, they DO actually default act as custody of anything that isn't native to the BNB chain.
  • They do have some interesting governance behind the fees. The community votes on the listing of a coin that has applied to list. The Validators in theory vote like the community has asked. They have 4 vote options, yes, no, no veto, and abstain. If majority is yes it gets listed. Majority is no then it doesn't. If one third of votes are veto, it gets killed.
  • They have to deposit 1000BNB which they get back if they get a yes vote.
  • They have to pay 2000BNB to become listed, unclear but I think it goes to the network.
  • They do intend to implement atomic swaps on the main-net, but they also will be giving their version of BTC tether.
  • Terms screenshot
  • Getting your coins listed

• Shots Fired!

  • Justin Sun talks about having a partnership with the legendary Liverpool Football Club. LFC immediately denies he has a partnership. Justin Sun misconstrues a boilerplate email sent to hundreds of prospective companies as a partnership. https://decryptmedia.com/6684/tron-liverpool-football-club-fc

Anthony Lusardi is back on the show and he's here to explain all the different ways that we can attack a blockchain. They're not perfect yet, and there's a lot of work to be done. We're so glad he's back on the show to really drive home some of these points.

You’ve seen the drama. We’re a little late to the party but we weight in on the ridiculous Craight Wright and Calvin Ayre antics. We stand with Hodlnaut, we stand with Peter McCormack, and we can’t wait to see this court battle for the ages. We also talk about the Satoshi Treasure prize that’s out there, the US states rulings with regards to crypto laws, and talk about Forbes articles because we can.

Peter McCormack is a podcaster with a particular love for Bitcoin in the space. He's flown around the globe to interview some of the most important people in cryptocurrency, and he's really done well along the way.

He's interviewed people that won't sit down with anyone else, and he's done so consistently for years. Peter decided he would come on the CryptoBasic Podcast and have a chat with Brent about podcasting, the pressures, the problems, and of course - how he wouldn't trade it for anything else.
