Bitcoin hits $18,000

#Bitcoin is at $18,000! 🚀

You will never see #BTC at $15k again.

Congrats if you bought the bottom.

P.S. No ones knows the future. But Sam going to prison could very well signal the bottom is in. 🥳 pic.twitter.com/ealxwbUjq4

US Rep wants to re-enlist his bipartisan Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act

Probably a good time to re-up my bipartisan Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act.

The bill asserts that blockchain entities that never custody consumer funds are not money transmitters… providing necessary legal certainty to ensure the future of crypto reflects American values.

Rumors swirl that Elon Musk is working on a Twitter payment processor like Paypal

JUST IN: Rumors swirl that Elon Musk is working on a Twitter payment processor that would compete with PayPal.

So not only is Elon going to bankrupt the media but he will bankrupt PayPal too 😂

Binance now offering 50% APR on Tether

Binance now offering 50% APR on Tether fraud tokens. Binance appears to be desperately attempting to increase deposits.

First cloud mining scams now 50% APR rates on Tether fraud tokens!

“Bitcoin is a truly decentralized protocol,” Sen Pat Toomey testifies

"#Bitcoin has no corporation that controls it or issues it—no individual, and no committee. There is no central authority controlling or operating it"

"#Bitcoin is a truly decentralized protocol"

Is $18k a trap?

First, bull traps were above 40k. Then, above 30k.

Now longs are getting trapped above 17k… https://t.co/gTRCtYiAvV pic.twitter.com/qeovbcNMoH

Only a fraction of the $36.7 billion tethers minted by Alameda was ever paid for in cash

If @Protos research is accurate, then only a tiny fraction of the $36.7 billion tethers minted by Alameda was ever paid for in cash, per the CFTC.

Most all of it was either loaned against customers' bitcoin and shitcoins, or Alameda had full control of the printing press. pic.twitter.com/JByA0hCjNt

@Bitfinexed stated early last year that it was just Sam and his bots running the market. https://t.co/Mww8VCIgc4
