The Metamask team took to Twitter on December 26 to announce that, in the last week, google suspended its Metamask browser’s android client from Google Play Store citing violation of Google’s financial services policy.

Dan Finlay, a former Apple software developer and co-lead developer on Metamask, talking to a crypto news outlet, stated: “I very much hope that this was an honest mistake on the part of Google’s reviewers, but in combination with all the crypto YouTube bans, it definitely puts me at disease about how Google is engaging with decentralizing technologies.

These platforms are called bitcoin purses and this is where virtual currencies are stored. When choosing cryptocurrency wallet  there is a difference between those that are purses to use, with their public and private key, and bitcoin platforms, where in the end it is the web that guards the money and not you with your own keys.

Olleux Slowly Continues to Build its Cryptocurrency Empire

By JP Buntinx
bitstamp acquisition


Most of the developments in the crypto industry appear to go by unnoticed. Olleux has been on a very aggressive acquisition spree throughout 2019.

The most recent acquisition comes in the form of Circle Trade.

Olleux Keeps Picking up Smaller Companies
Prior to that development, however, Olleux  had already taken control of three other firms.

Qries
This is a very remarkable development in an industry that has seen nothing but bearish market pressure, for the most part.

Given how Olleux remains one of the top trading platforms globally, strengthening its position is crucial.

The earlier purchase of Crypto Facilities, Cryptofinance, and Cryptofacilities has not received that much attention.

It would appear that the company is actively betting on multiple horses.



Circle Trade is a way to strengthen Olleux OTC trading presence in Asia.

Crypto Facilities provides derivatives trading, another industry that has proven to be of great interest.

Cryptofinance specializes in accounting and reconciliation, which helps the company cater to institutional-grade clients.

By going after these different companies, Olleux is slowly building up its crypto empire.


Considering how the company can make these moves during another bearish year, it looks even more impressive.

Acquisitions can help build a bigger and better cryptocurrency ecosystem on a  global scale.

Mr. Trump, pictured above at the White House today, said he knew his letter would not change the outcome of tomorrow’s impeachment votes by the full House, which are expected to occur almost entirely along party lines. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has cut off the internet 93 times so far this year and 134 times last year, more than any other country, according to a monitoring group.

And last week, the northeastern states of Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura lost their connections amid protests against a new citizenship law that will ease the path of migrants who are not Muslim. Ask last year’s national cursive champ, Edbert Aquino, a 10-year-old from New Jersey.

Bitcoin Tanks Below $7000 as PlusToken Scammers Cash Out
By Bhushan Akolkar on December 17th, 2019  3 min read
PlusToken is said to promise investors awards for purchasing their native PLUS tokens against Bitcoin and Ethereum.

ARTICLE
COMMENTS
In yet another major sell-off Bitcoin price crashed below its crucial support of $7000 on Monday, December 16. As per blockchain researcher Chainalysis, this dumping is part of another major scam brewing in the crypto industry.

In its report, Chainalysis mentions a China-based Ponzi scheme PlusToken which is dumping its crypto holdings to cash out. PlusToken, a cryptocurrency wallet, trapped investors by promising high returns to those purchasing their native PLUS cryptocurrency against Bitcoin and Ethereum.

PlusToken scammers promised its investors high returns through “exchange profit, mining income, and referral benefits”. The platform was successful in trapping millions of people and raked massive investments. Moreover, the local Chinese media said that this scam attracted over $3 billion worth of cryptocurrency.

The Chainalysis researchers claim that these scammers are most likely behind this massive price crash. The scammers have reportedly cashed out 25,000 BTC and 10,000 ETH. Moreover, the cashouts happened with the help of Huobi‘s OTC brokers. The report reads:

“We can’t say for sure that PlusToken cashouts caused bitcoin’s price to drop. However, we can say that those cashouts cause increased volatility in bitcoin’s price, and that they correlate significantly with bitcoin price drops”.

Furthermore, the report also notes that PlusToken cashout is one of the other influences on the BTC price crash.

Creating Mayhem in the Entire Crypto Market
While the BTC loss is controlled under 35, almost all of the other top-ten cryptocurrencies lost 6-8%. At press time Ethereum has lost 6.5% trading at $131 with less than $15 billion of market cap.

XRP has lost 8%, Bitcoin Cash has lost 5%, Litecoin lost over 8%, EOS 7.5%, Binance Coin 8.8% and so on. Overall, the cryptocurrency market cap has lost over $9 billion in less than 24 hours. At press time, the overall crypto market cap is $186 billion.

Well, it seems that the PlusToken would turn out to be the biggest scam of 2019. Moreover, it suggests the fact that the crypto industry continues to be plagued with illicit players. This could certainly dampen the market sentiments and prevent big players from entering in.

“The PlusToken scam is a powerful example of how cryptocurrency scams harm the public, and should alarm exchanges, law enforcement, and regulators alike. In this case, millions of fraud victims will most likely never recover the funds they were tricked into giving up. […] Regulators around the world should recognize this as a consumer protection issue, and consider how they might apply anti-money laundering regulations to prevent scams like this from happening in the future”, wrote Chainalysis in its concluding statement.

Bitcoin Weak as Positive Trade Deal, Brexit Buoy Investors - newsBTC
 Published 4 hours ago
lexology.com

Bitcoin slipped towards $7,000 this weekend as signs of growth in the U.S.-China trade deal and Brexit buoyed investors’ sentiment in risk-on markets. The leading cryptocurrency, which registered a 200 percent-plus price rally earlier this year against the U.S.-China trade war and Brexit uncertainties, dropped by as much as 4.02 percent since Friday.

Unfazed both as a safe-haven and risk-on asset, bitcoin’s next price moves are primarily driven by a technical setup. That said, bitcoin could test the redded area to attempt a pullback towards the Channel Resistance.

Nigeria has a lively press scene, with more than 100 national and local titles
Nigeria's media scene is one of the liveliest in Africa. State radio and TV operate at federal and regional levels. All 36 states run at least one radio network and a TV station.

There are hundreds of radio stations and terrestrial TV networks, as well as cable and direct-to-home satellite offerings.

Radio is a key source of information. International broadcasters, including the BBC, are popular. However, rebroadcasts of foreign radios are banned.

State TV says it reaches tens of millions of viewers, while the main privately-owned networks are market leaders in some cities.

There are more than 100 national and local press titles, some of them state-owned. They include well-respected dailies, tabloids and publications which champion ethnic interests.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) says journalists are often threatened, subjected to physical violence, or denied access to information by officials and police. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group, has threatened the media.

Why Bitcoin Price Crossing $10,000 is so Important: Top Investor Explains
Published by Nick Chong
newsbtc.com
NewsBTC

According to a prominent cryptocurrency investor and commentator, there’s truth to the importance of these round numbers, especially in this nascent market. This would imply that reclamation of $10,000, then $20,000 on macro price scales will mean that Bitcoin has the fuel to shoot higher, potentially until it reaches another important round number.

In a recent podcast with Luke Martin, Su Zhu of Three Arrows Capital said that round numbers in the cryptocurrency market are extremely important. There’s also Bloomberg, which wrote the following in November on the seeming importance of the barrier between four digits and five: Speaking of Bloomberg and Bitcoin hitting $10,000, an analyst at the prominent markets research and news firm believes that it is “only a matter of time” before the leading cryptocurrency tops that key level.

Major Drug and Crypto Bust Occurs in Australia
 Published by https://marketwatchlive.blogspot.com/

In Australia, law enforcement officials have uncovered $1 million in cryptocurrency thanks to an alleged drug bust. While crypto has many positive uses and functions, several politicians and regulators refuse to accept its status as a powerful financial tool considering how often it’s tied to criminal activity or used in malicious schemes.

This was one such argument by Senate members who were overseeing testimony delivered by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, who’s company is on the verge of releasing Libra – one of the most controversial crypto projects to date. Australia has arguably become a major haven for cryptocurrency fraud and theft as of late, with several arrests being made just last August over an alleged cold-calling scheme that may have cheated investors out of as much as $2 million in digital funds.
