Bitfinex/Tether and 5W PR mount the worst public relations campaign I’ve seen in a while
When you can’t pound on the facts, pound on the table. A PR initiative that will convince nobody who they need to convince.
News: Tether from cryptos, $10,000, Tesla charging station mining, CME Bitcoin futures, Ethereum dinner, book news
Plus: the worst bootleg version I’ve ever seen of any book, and it was of mine.
News: Hong Kong, SEC and ICOs, Ethereum roadmap, the Bitcoin bank run, CryoGen recommend my article
The best bit is where CryoGen recommend the article where I detail why what they’re selling doesn’t work. I suppose I did call them sincere.
The World Food Programme’s much-publicised “blockchain” has one participant — i.e., it’s a database
A case study in applied business “blockchain.” The cost savings came entirely from the fact of pulling it all in-house.
News: Bitcoin Diamond, 4m BTC lost, Russia vs Bitcoin, automated hack attacks
Another free money fork. And remember to secure your Ethereum wallet!
News: Morocco, Bail Bloc, business Blockchain, horse manure
And a nice review of the book.

ICO of the day: CryoGen — bringing crypto and cryonics back together once more
The main problem with this is that cryonics not only doesn’t work, there’s a ton of reason it can’t work. But KrioRus aren’t letting that stop them.
Correction: Huobi wasn’t hacked in 2015, but the 2015 Bitstamp hacker did withdraw 12,000 BTC from Huobi
Correction to yesterday’s post: Bitstamp was hacked, Huobi say they weren’t.
News: Zimbabwe, why invest in Bitcoin, post-apocalyptic Bitcoin, how to get security researchers’ attention
It’s not all Tether hacks!
