Story - Crypto Poaching Top Talent
https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-messenger-chief-joins-coinbases-board-of-directors/
As time goes on it seems more of more of the top talent from the old financial system want to come and work with the cool kids.
Coinbase has announced that David Marcus, vice president of messaging products at Facebook and former president of PayPal, has joined the board of directors.
Then today I saw a link to this posted on Reddit:
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/welcome-bradley-zastrow-director-of-global-business-development.20569/
Now a fellow called Bradley Zastrow has been appointed as the Director of Global Business Development for Dash Core.
This fellow spent the last 17 years working for American Express.
This kind of thing not only boosts the development of the cryptocurrency space but it increasingly legitimises it.
That means this whole narrative about cryptocurrencies being some temporary fad, or something that’s only used for money laundering and criminal activity, that narrative just can’t hold up if reputable experts in the payments industry keep jumping ship to work with cryptocurrencies.
Story - South Korea Releases Emergency Regulation
https://news.bitcoin.com/south-korea-emergency-cryptocurrency-regulation/
This follows directly on from yesterday’s story about the South Korean authorities moving quickly to crack down on the number of people buying and trading cryptocurrencies.
They were particularly concerned with the number of students who were signing up to cryptocurrency changes on their phones and then buying Bitcoin and so on.
The bottom line is that South Korean Bitcoin exchanges will now be regulated.
In addition to that, there will be a ban on banks, minors and foreigners trading cryptocurrencies.
In Korea you need something they call a ‘virtual bank account’ in order to trade crypto. This is what they have attacked in order to put a stop to the hysteria.
They said [red]
“We will not allow virtual currency transactions unless the requirements for protection of investors, transparency of transactions and other measures are met through prompt legislation in the near future.”
This ban on foreigners is interesting because we saw recently on a number of occasion that some coins were trading at much higher prices on Korean exchanges vs elsewhere.
So when they say:
[orange]
“Foreigners who are not residing in Korea or minors including high school students will not be able to open an account for virtual currency transactions in Korea,”
That effectively puts a stop of arbitrage traders who would profit from the price difference between the Korean exchanges and non-Korean exchanges.
All these measures to me sounds like an attempt to cool down the hysteria rather than outrig

Welcome to episode 2 of a brand new series I'm calling 'Invest With Me!' a show where I pledge some money to an ICO live on the air with my own money.
This is the recording of a livestream that began 30 minutes before the ICO opened and I will covered what happened, as it happened.
This show is designed to serve both as a demonstration of the process as well as pure education and entertainment. The ICO was so popular I wasn't actually able to make my investment.
Nothing in this show is intended to be investment advice.
This video was NOT sponsored by EOS and no one from EOS will be featured in the show, it's just you and me.
