Cryptocurrency Podcast by Coin.FM - Bitcoin, Crypto and Blockchain News

Episode #22 After dipping to a one-month low of under $7900 USD on March 18th, Bitcoin is on a fresh rally thanks to leaders of the G20 nations. The verdict for now –- when it comes to crypto regulations, the world's economic decision makers are going to take a beat and regroup in July. The fear among some speculators was that the G20 would completely squash the rise of cryptocurrency through collaborative policies and policing across nations, but it looks like we've been spared... for now. Within a single country, policymakers are having a hard time dealing with cryptocurrencies, so how they’ll pull together to create singular rules they can all agree on is anyone’s guess.

Google Announces Crypto Ad Ban - Cryptocurrency Podcast by Coin.FM - Bitcoin, Crypto and Blockchain News

Episode #21 Google finally officially announced it's decision to block all crypto-related ads from all of its platforms beginning June 2018. For weeks, several crypto advertisers had been publicly complaining that their accounts were seeing significantly reduced traffic due to ads not being fully served by Google. Support reps of the search engine giant initially denied any change to their policy, but, it turns out, that was either wrong or simply untrue. This decision follows Facebook's announcement in January that they would block crypto ads on their platform. Too bad, so sad.

Bitcoin Down After Japan FSA, Binance News - Cryptocurrency Podcast by Coin.FM - Bitcoin, Crypto and Blockchain News

Episode #23 Early on the morning of March 22nd, the Nikkei Asian Review published an article with the headline "Japan to warn Hong Kong-based crypto exchange: Criminal charges to be filed if Binance fails to halt Japan operations." Yikes -- It certainly got our attention! The FSA has been clamping down on cryptocurrency venues after a $500 million theft from Japanese exchange Coincheck in January. CZ, the CEO of Binance, took to Twitter saying, "Nikkei showed irresponsible journalism. We are in constructive dialogs with Japan FSA, and have not received any mandates." Within minutes of the news story circulating, bitcoin took a swift nosedive, dropping over 5% from $9040 USD to trade at just above $8600 later in the day, at the time of reporting. Do you think there any truth to this or is it just another case of irresponsible journalism as CZ claims?
