/biz/ - Business & Finance

This week the markets made us all question our initial decisions to get into this world, but hopefully Crypto Weekly will give you a shining beacon of hope in this tough time. The New York Times suggested this downturn could be because some University of Texas researchers found evidence of price manipulation in the bitcoin and ethereum markets. We discuss what effect this might have had and how reliable this research paper is.

Coinbase surprised many by announcing that they would be including Ethereum Classic in their current cryptocurrency offerings - including within their index fund. Is this really a big deal?

Binance repeats the old news that they are intending to offer EURO and GBP pairs with some cryptocurrencies.

Coinrail is hacked! What exactly does this mean and how did this happen? Crypto Weekly are on hand to explain all.

Ken's Coin of the Week turn safety conscious this week with safe guard token getting a look over. Obviously Beak is not impressed whatsoever.

Altogether another prime episode of Crypto Weekly to keep you satisfied for another week.

Crypto Weekly Episode 16 has dropped. Listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/cryptoweekly/ep-16-coinbase-in-japan-eos-mainnet-stutters-binance-1b-fund-crypto-visa

This week VISA went down across Europe and caused some to speculate where we would be in a world of decentralised payments with crypto. The Crypto Weekly team give this a ponder and share their discussion to the world.

Coinbase announced plans to expand into Japan creating an onslaught of memes telling Japanese citizens to be ready for trash tier customer service. Does anybody care?

Binance soars even further in our estimations as they announce a $1 billion fund for decentralised projects that will benefit the crypto space as a whole. How much of a big deal is this? Why have so many exchanges come out recently announcing their own fund?

We cover the mess that has been the EOS mainnet release thus far. Can we expect things to go smoother in the future? Is this really what one should be seeing from a project with $4 billion in the bank?

Ken’s Coin of the Week returns to its roots - adult themed coins. This week get shilled on the wonder that is WankCoin and why you absolutely should be holding it. (Spoiler alert, you should not be).

Beak wallows in the success of his previous coin picks and gives us another candidate for gains this week. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

That gives us an episode of Crypto Weekly, you’re welcome!
