Crypto Offers Hope To Black & Latino Communities

Why doesn’t everyone have bank access? What does unbanked or underbanked even mean? Why does the system we rely on work against us, pushing many hard-working people further into debt?

While we would all like to believe that the historic banking system has the consumer in mind, let’s be honest with ourselves.

Huge Moves Last Week Indicate Bitcoin’s Blinding Surge

With experts calling for Bitcoin to hit about $100,000 by the end of the year, what it has been doing for the last week has some people scratching their heads.

But since then, it has been up and down in subtle dips and valleys between $47,000 and $48,000. With Blockstream preparing to expand its mining ventures raising

Bitcoin Rise Projected By One US Mayor As Feds Keep Stamping More USD

While most politicians are behind the curve in understanding Bitcoin, one U.S. Mayor has a good grasp of the way the digital currency is going. When Jackson, Tennessee Mayor Scott Conger tweeted his predictions, he made it clear what will be at the source of Bitcoin’s consistent growth far into the future. It’s not that most politicians throughout the U.S. aren’t aware of what Bitcoin is. The problem is they keep trying to find a way to straddle it. A recently failed measure in Washington attempted to regulate cryptocurrency, regulations that have, “struck a nerve with supporters of an industry

Bitcoin Prevails, Introducing OnlyCoins, Content Makers Get Paid In Crypto

OnlyFans announced a significant policy change and it has sex workers up in arms. But, they don’t have much to worry about because an opportunity is being put in place just as OnlyFans is on its way out.

Bitcoin’s Value Increased, Swedish Gov’t Forced To Pay Drug Dealer $1.5 Million

If governments around the world don’t get wise to the relevancy of Bitcoin, they might find themselves in the same situation as Sweden. One convicted drug dealer is now rich because of Sweden’s lack of foresight. Tove Kullberg, the prosecutor of the case, argued very effectively that the drug dealer had illegally earned 36 Bitcoin selling drugs online. That was two years ago and at the time, the Bitcoin was worth 1.3 million Swedish kronor or $100,000 in U.S. dollars. The dealer was convicted and imprisoned. He has served his time and he’s now out. This is where the story gets

JPMorgan Bank Takes on Coinbase, Gemini as Its First Crypto Exchange Customers

Its CEO once called bitcoin a fraud but now U.S. banking giant JPMorgan Chase has added its first cryptocurrency exchange customers, CoinDesk has confirmed. Sources told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday the bank signed two popular regulated exchanges – Coinbase and Gemini, the latter founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. The fact that both exchanges are regulated in the U.S. was apparently a factor in the approvals, which still took a lengthy period of vetting, the WSJ said. Accounts for the two crypto firms were approved last month, the sources said, and are now in use. The move by JPMorgan is notable in a
