High Profile Bitcoin Event Could Put Cryptos Back on Track
Concerns facing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to mount. Yesterday the New Jersey’s Bureau of Securities issued a cease and desist order against the company BlockFi for paying interest on crypto balances. China has insured reduced transactions within its borders by recently banning financial institutions from dealing in cryptocurrencies. The country has also forced Bitcoin miners to suspend operations. Britain’s financial regulator recently said one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, cannot conduct any unregulated activity and issued a warning to consumers about the platform. Elsewhere, although the stated reasons differ, the trend is to slow the adoption of cryptocurrencies by the public. Environmental issues became the topic of conversation in May as Tesla decided to halt purchases of their products through Bitcoin. They cited concerns over the use of fossil fuels for mining and transactions. Michael Burry who is renowned for spotting trends to short, has also publicly gone cold on Bitcoin.
