2 people conceivably drove Bitcoin from $150 to $1,000

Researchers Neil Gandal, JT Hamrick, Tyler Moore, and Tali Oberman have written a fascinating paper on Bitcoin price manipulation. Entitled “Price Manipulation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem” and appearing in the recent issue of the Journal of Monetary Economics the paper describes to what degree the Bitcoin ecosystem is controlled by bad actors.

The “Blockchain Island” Speaks At The United Nations

While addressing the world, Mr. Muscat referred to cryptocurrencies as the future of money, supporting the vision of several maximalists who believe that in the future this could be a reality.

He remarked that thanks to blockchain technologies, the use of cryptocurreny could help improve the performance and transparency of business in general. This is why he defends Malta’s determination to consolidate itself as the “Block…
