Ultimately, we are going to have to find a way to accommodate and regulate to avoid the problems.</p> \n    </blockquote> \n    <p>His comments come at a time when the first U.S. regulated exchange has launched its own bitcoin futures contract, enabling investors to bet on the price of bitcoin for the first time. After receiving regulatory approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Chicago-based exchange Cboe Global Markets is helping the digital currency become more mainstream in a regulated environment. Fellow Chicago-based exchange CME Group is to launch its own bitcoin futures contract on Monday, following approval from the CFTC as well.</p> \n    <p>Hooper believes that the cryptocurrency holds great potential and that this will be further realised as more people invest in it. For example, one potential is its use in sending money abroad without incurring high fees.</p> \n    <p>He said:</p> \n    <blockquote> \n     <p>This has a long way to go to compete with existing money supplies, but there are questions about financial stability.</p> \n    </blockquote> \n    <p>However, despite the rising interest that the digital currency is experiencing, not everyone is happy with what is taking place. One such individual is Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO. Back in September he made the claim that the digital currency was ‘a fraud,’ and that it was ‘worth nothing.’ Since then he has said very little regarding the cryptocurrency; however, recently he argued that he doesn’t think there will be a long run for it.</p> \n    <p>Not only that, but the Futures Industry Association (FIA), who has members that include the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, recently sent an open letter to the CFTC arguing that the launch of the futures contract was too quick and didn’t give enough time to review it. Ed Tilly, the chairman and CEO of Cboe, hit back at the FIA by stating that the exchange and the regulator had been working together on all levels to bring this product to the market, and were continuing to do so. Since the launch of futures, Tilly said recently that everything had gone according to plan.</p> \n    <p></p> \n    <div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"> \n     <div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/deutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere/\" data-a2a-title=\"Deutsche Bank Executive: Bitcoin Isn’t Going Anywhere\"> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_messenger\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook_messenger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"Facebook Messenger\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_telegram\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fdeutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere%2F&amp;linkname=Deutsche%20Bank%20Executive%3A%20Bitcoin%20Isn%E2%80%99t%20Going%20Anywhere\" title=\"Telegram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n     </div> \n    </div> \n   </div> \n  </article> \n </main> \n</div>\n Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/deutsche-bank-executive-bitcoin-isnt-going-anywhere/",

Because it’s so notoriously hard to tamper with, many believe blockchain is the perfect tool to build systems that are safe from fraud and corruption.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s certainly some truth to this – blockchain does have the potential to deliver systems without a central point that are far more secure and robust than traditional software – as well as being faster, smoother, and more efficient.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, blockchain isn’t invincible. Networks are still susceptible to attacks, which could compromise the technology’s consensus mechanism to ‘hack’ a blockchain or seriously slow a system down.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get an idea of how this could happen, it’s important to take a look at blockchain’s infrastructure.</span></p> \n    <h2><b>Consensus mechanisms in blockchains</b></h2> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When miners add a new block to any blockchain, they have to make sure of a few things. One of their main tasks is to ensure the new block is the ONLY possible version – preventing ‘forking’ where the chain splits into two separate pathways of blocks.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockchain technology uses </span><a href=\"https://www.coindesk.com/short-guide-blockchain-consensus-protocols/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consensus mechanisms</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to guarantee this. In Bitcoin, for example, the main consensus mechanism is </span><b>proof of work</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is a system where miners have to complete a puzzle – the first one to solve it gets to mine the block.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea is that only one block gets mined, because only one miner will finish first. It’s a pretty solid system, but it isn’t the only one.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another consensus mechanism is the Byzantine mechanism. This way, a stakeholder in the system called a ‘validator’ creates the block, and a majority of the nodes in the system have to sign off on it before it can be added to the blockchain.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea here is that no block can be added unless that action is supported by the majority of the network. It’s all fair and democratic – as long as the </span><a href=\"https://people.csail.mit.edu/nickolai/papers/gilad-algorand-eprint.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nodes aren’t compromised</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herein lays the problem facing blockchain security. The integrity of a blockchain-based network relies on its nodes – if the nodes aren’t secure and trustworthy then neither is the network.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a sophisticated attacker were to seize control of a majority of the nodes or flood the network with their own nodes, they could compromise the integrity of the blockchain and massively slow down progress by refusing to authorize any new blocks.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even worse, they could have a say over what gets added to the chain, and take over the entire system. Defending against and dealing with these issues is a huge drain on resources and time for blockchain developers.</span></p> \n    <h2><b>How to secure nodes</b></h2> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that it’s possible to keep a network secure just by using traditional tools. For example, users can keep their own wallets and services safe by using general firewalls, anti-virus software and other malware protection.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s also possible to protect a blockchain network from being taken over by malicious nodes. </span><a href=\"https://www.incapsula.com/website-security/web-application-firewall.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web Application firewalls like Incapsula</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can filter unwanted traffic, preventing systems from being taken over by unwanted nodes or falling victim to DDoS and XXS attacks which might slow down the whole network.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its huge promise, blockchain technology has its limitations. Although frequently celebrated for being decentralized, blockchains can still be hijacked and manipulated via their nodes in theory. </span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a network has enough rogue nodes, the whole thing is compromised and this section of the network will be able to influence the rest of it. This is why it’s so essential to make sure the nodes are secure, and can’t be taken over by malicious third parties intent on manipulating the system to their own ends.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based companies is estimated to be around </span><a href=\"https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$243 billion dollars</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since we don’t know the value of many new companies in this space, the real figure is likely to be even higher, and it looks set to increase rapidly in the near future.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sheer size of this industry is one reason why it’s important to protect it. There is huge promise in blockchain, and it could have massive implications on how we live our day to day lives. In order to encourage the technology to grow and be used in new ways, it’s vital to assure people that it’s safe and reliable.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s also crucial to ensure integrity, accessibility, and speed, three things that set blockchain apart and make it so attractive to investors and software developers. Protecting nodes in systems are one powerful way to ensure security and efficiency across the blockchain world. </span></p> \n    <div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"> \n     <div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/can-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains/\" data-a2a-title=\"How Can Traditional Tools Help Secure and Speed up Blockchains?\"> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_messenger\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook_messenger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"Facebook Messenger\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_telegram\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fcan-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains%2F&amp;linkname=How%20Can%20Traditional%20Tools%20Help%20Secure%20and%20Speed%20up%20Blockchains%3F\" title=\"Telegram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n     </div> \n    </div> \n   </div> \n  </article> \n </main> \n</div>\n Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/can-traditional-tools-help-secure-speed-blockchains/",

XBT/H8 is currently being traded at $18,900, more than $1,070 higher than the price of bitcoin listed on US-based bitcoin exchange Gemini, the official partner of CBOE.</span></p> \n    <p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-126487\" src=\"https://3bjir821uqix1xdupc2ey86g-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/CBOE_Twitter_12.15.2017.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https://3bjir821uqix1xdupc2ey86g-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/CBOE_Twitter_12.15.2017.png 810w, https://3bjir821uqix1xdupc2ey86g-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/CBOE_Twitter_12.15.2017-300x61.png 300w, https://3bjir821uqix1xdupc2ey86g-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/CBOE_Twitter_12.15.2017-768x157.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\"></p> \n    <p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/tailopez/status/941488024386498561\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tai Lopez noted</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that if a small portion of the assets of millionaires globally is invested into bitcoin in the upcoming months, the price of bitcoin “would be justifiably be around $60,000.” Given that the adoption of bitcoin as a store of value and a medium of exchange within the global finance market is increasing exponentially, $60,000 remains as a viable mid-term price target.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, as Novogratz emphasized last month, bitcoin is fundamentally and structurally different than other commodities because there exists no supply response. As such, more high profile investors and large-scale traders are likely to invest in bitcoin in the short-term. </span></p> \n    <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“What’s different about these coins than other commodities … there is no supply response here. So it’s a speculator’s dream in that as buying happens there’s no new supply response that comes up. So every price move gets exaggerated. It’s going to get exaggerated on the way up. There will be 50 percent corrections. It will get exaggerated on the way down,” said Novogratz.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>$1 Trillion Market Cap</b></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The market cap of bitcoin as is cycurrent is above $300 billion or $0.3 trillion. In order for the market valuation of bitcoin to surpass the $50,000 mark, the market cap of bitcoin needs to achieve $1 trillion.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysts including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong have emphasized on several occasions that approximately $10 billion in institutional money is awaiting to be invested in bitcoin. But, the daily trading volume of the global bitcoin exchange market is more than $16 billion, which is substantially higher than the amount that will be invested by institutional investors by the end of 2018.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the price of bitcoin to hit $60,000, both small and large investors will need to invest in the cryptocurrency in the next few months, driving the adoption of bitcoin as a widely recognized store of value and currency.</span></p> \n    <div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"> \n     <div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/analyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term/\" data-a2a-title=\"Analyst: How Bitcoin Price Could Reach $60,000 in the Mid-Term\"> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_messenger\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook_messenger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"Facebook Messenger\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_telegram\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fanalyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term%2F&amp;linkname=Analyst%3A%20How%20Bitcoin%20Price%20Could%20Reach%20%2460%2C000%20in%20the%20Mid-Term\" title=\"Telegram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n     </div> \n    </div> \n   </div> \n  </article> \n </main> \n</div>\n Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/analyst-bitcoin-price-reach-60000-mid-term/",

style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Bitcoin Second Most Popular Keyword on Google in 2017</b></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google, the world’s most widely utilized search engine, has revealed that bitcoin has been the second most popular keyword on its platform throughout 2017. </span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the demand for bitcoin from both casual investors and retail traders increased over the past 12 months, the popularity of bitcoin on search engines and social media platforms surged proportionally.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the recent surge in the price of bitcoin can be attributed to a variety of factors, the two driving factors of the rise in bitcoin price have likely been the global finance market’s anticipation of CME’s scheduled listing of bitcoin futures on December 18 and the strong performance of alternative cryptocurrencies within the past week.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that strong rallies of cryptocurrencies almost always follow with bear cycles, traders are likely expecting the price of other cryptocurrencies in the market such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, and Litecoin to decline in the short-term, considering their recent meteoric rise in values.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Litecoin creator Charlie Lee explained, “Every crypto bull run I’ve seen has been followed by a bear cycle. The market needs time to consolidate. That’s just my experience from 7 years of watching this space. How low and how long it will be is TBD. People need to be aware of this possibility and invest responsibly.”</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the global finance industry’s largest options exchange market, has had a successful debut with its listing of bitcoin futures on December 14. As such, the global finance market is highly anticipating the launch of CME’s bitcoin futures exchange merely two days from today.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of reporting, bitcoin is being traded on CBOE with a high premium of $500, at nearly $19,000.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Impact of CME’s Bitcoin Futures Listing</b></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last month, major hedge funds and investment firms including the $100 billion Man Group have officially announced their plans to invest in bitcoin and commit to the cryptocurrency market upon the completion of CME’s bitcoin futures listing.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since large-scale hedge funds have minimum investment values and thresholds at hundreds of millions of dollars, the entrance of leading investment firms by the year’s end would lead to tens of billions in institutional money into the bitcoin market.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Novogratz, a billionaire investor and former Fortress executive, stated that the massive inflow of capital into the cryptocurrency market and exchanges globally will further drive the price of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in the short-term.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“This week the buying seemed indiscriminate.

In mid-November, on November 16, the price of Litecoin across major markets averaged at around $63. At the time of reporting, the price of Litecoin remains above $300.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“I would be happy if Litecoin stays at around $300 by the end of next year. It’s still very surprising how much it has grown this year,.” </span><a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/14/litecoin-founder-charlie-lee-talks-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies.html?__source=twitter%7Cmain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said Lee</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, offering a more conservative prediction on the price of Litecoin throughout the next 12 months.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within 12 months, the value of Litecoin surged by more than 8,000 percent, outperforming most cryptocurrencies and assets in the market. Previously, Lee emphasized that after a strong rally almost always comes a bearish cycle and encouraged traders to invest responsibly.</span></p> \n    <p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Every crypto bull run I’ve seen has been followed by a bear cycle. The market needs time to consolidate. That’s just my experience from 7 years of watching this space. How low and how long it will be is TBD. People need to be aware of this possibility and invest responsibly,” Lee added.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Lee admitted that emerging markets such as South Korea have been pushing the price of leading cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, such trend is not entirely beneficial for the cryptocurrency market given the lack of regulatory frameworks in emerging markets.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The South Korean government only began to impose strict regulations on cryptocurrency businesses and investors this week, </span><a href=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/south-korean-governments-four-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrency-regulations-leaked-optimistic/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as CCN reported.</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The four regulations the South Korean government intends to regulate by the year’s end are:</span></p> \n    <ol> \n     <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent unaccredited investors from dealing with losses through highly volatile cryptocurrencies. </span></li> \n     <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent strictly regulated cryptocurrency exchanges from operating as speculative platforms for unaccredited investors. </span></li> \n     <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request banks and exchanges to ensure underaged investors and foreigners cannot open trading accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges. </span></li> \n     <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temporarily suspend institutional investors and retail investors from investing in cryptocurrencies.</span></li> \n    </ol> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike most currencies in the market, Litecoin’s trading volumes are not centralized in South Korea. Rather, the majority of Litecoin trades are processed by US-based exchanges such as GDAX, the flagship trading platform of Coinbase. </span></p> \n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Litecoin’s US Market</b></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2018, cryptocurrencies with volumes heavily concentrated in the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange market will likely experience a short-term decline in value, as the South Korean government moves to restrict investors and businesses in the space.</span></p> \n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the long-term, South Korea’s imposition of regulations on its local cryptocurrency market will have a positive impact in the industry. However, in the upcoming months, cryptocurrencies like Ripple, Zcash, and Monero that are concentrated in the South Korean market will likely underperform against currencies such as Litecoin, bitcoin, and Ethereum.</span></p> \n    <div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"> \n     <div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/litecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets/\" data-a2a-title=\"Litecoin Price Surges by 10% Again to $300 as Demand Skyrockets\"> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_messenger\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook_messenger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"Facebook Messenger\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_telegram\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Flitecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets%2F&amp;linkname=Litecoin%20Price%20Surges%20by%2010%25%20Again%20to%20%24300%20as%20Demand%20Skyrockets\" title=\"Telegram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n     </div> \n    </div> \n   </div> \n  </article> \n </main> \n</div>\n Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/litecoin-price-surges-10-300-demand-skyrockets/",

The torrent index website used Coinhive, a JavaScript code that allows website admins to mine the anonymity-centric cryptocurrency with visitor’s CPUs.</p> \n    <p>Ever since The Pirate Bay tested Coinhive on its website various actors starting using the code to take advantage of other people’s CPUs, leading to a Monero mining craze in which the code was <a href=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/google-chrome-extension-caught-silently-mining-monero-with-visitor-cpu-power/\">even placed on Google Chrome extensions</a>, and on a subscription streaming service called <a href=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/ufc-website-found-secretly-using-visitors-cpus-mine-monero/\">Fight Pass</a>, belonging to mixed martial-arts powerhouse Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).</p> \n    <p>The latest case of an organization using Coinhive’s code to mine Monero with people’s CPUs is that of a Starbucks in Buenos Aires, whose Wi-Fi provider forced a 10 second delay when connecting so it could mine the cryptocurrency with people’s laptops.</p> \n    <p>The issue was found by the chief executive of a New York-based tech company, Noah Dinkin, who noticed something was off when he was connecting to the service. He then used Twitter to share what he found:</p> \n    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"> \n     <p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hi <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Starbucks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Starbucks</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/StarbucksAr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@StarbucksAr</a> did you know that your in-store wifi provider in Buenos Aires forces a 10 second delay when you first connect to the wifi so it can mine bitcoin using a customer's laptop? Feels a little off-brand.. cc <a href=\"https://twitter.com/GMFlickinger?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GMFlickinger</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/VkVVdSfUtT\">pic.twitter.com/VkVVdSfUtT</a></p> \n     <p>— Noah Dinkin (@imnoah) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/imnoah/status/936948776119537665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2017</a></p> \n    </blockquote> \n    <p></p> \n    <p>Although Dinkin believed his laptop was being forced to mine bitcoin, users noted Coinhive only works with Monero, a cryptocurrency optimized for CPU mining that recently hit a new all-time high above $300, and that surged over 1,500% this year so far, according to data from CoinMarketCap.</p> \n    <p>A few days after Dinkin shared his findings on Twitter, Starbucks responded. The company acknowledged the issue and announced that it’s been resolved.</p> \n    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"> \n     <p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As soon as we were alerted of the situation in this specific store last week, we took swift action to ensure our internet provider resolved the issue and made the changes needed in order to ensure our customers could use Wi-Fi in our store safely.</p> \n     <p>— Starbucks Coffee (@Starbucks) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/Starbucks/status/940369255031128064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2017</a></p> \n    </blockquote> \n    <p></p> \n    <p>A spokesperson later on clarified that it was an isolated incident, and that the problem came from the internet service provider, not Starbucks. Speaking to <a href=\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/gyd5xq/starbucks-wi-fi-hijacked-peoples-laptops-to-mine-cryptocurrency-coinhive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Motherboard</a>, the spokesperson added that Starbucks wants to ensure its customers are “able to search the internet over Wi-Fi securely,” and that as such the company works closely with its service provider.</p> \n    <p>Cybersecurity experts Don Smith, while speaking to the <a href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42338754\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC</a>, revealed that the incident shows public Wi-Fi users should ensure they used updated software, while staying on the lookout for suspicious activity. He stated:</p> \n    <blockquote> \n     <p>“Always be wary when connecting to untrusted networks, public wi-fi hotspots are untrusted to you even if they are provided by a trusted brand (… ) Indeed, connecting to these networks gives the provider an ability to intercept your communications. However, we should not scaremonger unnecessarily, these can be useful services and the abuse of these services is definitely the exception not the rule.”</p> \n    </blockquote> \n    <p>In a follow-up tweet, Dinkin revealed that the code was found in three separate Starbucks locations over multiple days, and that the internet service’s Terms of Service (TOS) didn’t mention the Monero mining code.</p> \n    <div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"> \n     <div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/starbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero/\" data-a2a-title=\"Starbucks’ Wi-Fi Found Using People’s Laptops to Mine Monero\"> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_messenger\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook_messenger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"Facebook Messenger\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n      <a class=\"a2a_button_telegram\" href=\"https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptocoinsnews.com%2Fstarbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero%2F&amp;linkname=Starbucks%E2%80%99%20Wi-Fi%20Found%20Using%20People%E2%80%99s%20Laptops%20to%20Mine%20Monero\" title=\"Telegram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"></a> \n     </div> \n    </div> \n   </div> \n  </article> \n </main> \n</div>\n Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/starbucks-wi-fi-found-using-peoples-laptops-mine-monero/",
