Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments, said it plans to purchase up to $50 million in shares of the latters Ethereum Classic Trust.　　According to the Monday announcement, DCG — which is also the parent company of CoinDesk — will fund the purchases with cash on hand and make them on the open market.　　The price of Ethereum Classic (ETC) tripled in May, reaching an all-time high of $177.26 before falling approximately 70% into the low $50s, where it remains today. Though ETC has returned 668 percent year-to-date — higher than ether (ETH)‘s 163% gain — many crypto analysts saw the ETC rally as a speculative fever akin to the dogecoin (DOGE) frenzy rather than an informed investment based on the blockchain’s technological potential.　　Gil Luria, an equity analyst at D.A. Davidson s booth at Consensus 2016 in New York(CoinDesk archive)　　DCG did not respond to requests for comment.　　The company made a similar move to shore up shares of Grayscales flagship Bitcoin Investment Trust in March. These trusts are designed to give investors exposure to cryptocurrencies without the hassle of setting up a wallet or safeguarding cryptographic private keys.　　ETC was created in 2016 after a schism among

Nassim Taleb Explains Why He Thinks Bitcoin Fails As Money And Store of Value

Nassim Nicolas Taleb was called Wall Street‘s principal dissident by renowned journalist Malcolm Gladwell. Yet, he may well be dubbed Bitcoin’s principal dissident by whoever has enough academic authority to do so.　　Once a vocal Bitcoin user and advocate, Black Swan author Nassim Taleb recently became a harsh critic of cryptocurrencies and published a paper this weekend explaining the reasons why he thinks Bitcoin fails as money, store of value, and even as a novel technology.　　For Nassim Taleb Bitcoin Is Not Money… It Serves Little Purpose　　Taleb began by questioning the possibility of Bitcoin turning into a global store of value any time soon:　　It is also a reasoning error to claim that an innovation, bitcoin, can become the “new gold” ab ovo, when gold wasnt decided to be so by fiat thanks to a white paper; it organically became the reserve ex-post, throughout centuries of competitive selection against other modes of storage, payment, and collectibles.　　As a social science, economics explains that the conception of money depends fundamentally on a collective agreement. It can happen by force (as in the case of fiat money) or by the evolution of social interactions (as in gold). However, it takes a long time for society to

Smart contracts and the law: Tech developments challenge legal community

Smart contracts are an important element of the blockchain revolution, although they predate blockchain. According to most sources, it was Nick Szabo who coined the term “smart contract” in the 1990s. The mechanism of a vending machine has since been frequently given as an example of a basic smart contract based on if-then logic. The payment into a vending machine triggers an irrevocable automated action from when money is retained to when an item is supplied.　　The emergence of blockchain technology enabled the implementation of such if-then logic on decentralized networks to facilitate autonomous self-executing, self-performing smart contracts, also called computerized scripts, smart code, computerized protocols or decentralized business logic. Ever since they gained popularity, it has been debated and questioned whether they are at all smart or contracts.　　The basics of smart contracts　　Setting this debate aside for the moment, smart contracts offer many benefits. One of them is efficiency brought mainly by automation, their streamlined formation, unambiguous interpretation and efficient performance. Efficiency gains bring forth cost savings, achieved through the removal of intermediary layers and the reduction of ambiguities and opportunistic behavior.　　Transparency of smart contracts provides auditability and enhances trust. Technology-guaranteed performance facilitates transacting not only between parties that do not

Bitcoin Has Three Major Flaws, According To Cornell Economist

CNBC interview Eswar Prasad, an economics professor at Cornell University. The academic highlighted BTCs “flaws” and how other cryptocurrencies have come up “with more viable options”.　　According to Prasad, Bitcoin “harms” the environment. This argument has been used by Elon Musk, Tesla‘s CEO, and is one of BTC’s detractors favorite.　　The academic believes BTC transactions and its consensus algorithm, Proof-of-Work (PoW), have a direct impact on the environment. He classified the process of adding transactions, and mining BTC as “energy-intensive”.　　When compared with the energy consumption of countries such as Finland and Switzerland, the academic believes Bitcoin can consume even more energy. Prasad based his arguments on the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.　　This index records that BTC uses around 93.44 TW/h per year, much more than Israel, Belgium, Greece, and other major countries, as shown in the chart below.　　However, data from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance indicates that 39% of Bitcoin mining comes from Renewable Sources. On the contrary, China (12.7%), the United States (8.7), and the entire World (11.4%) dont come close to this metric.　　Bitcoin Flaws And Its Biggest Strength？　　In addition to its alleged negative environmental impact. The academic argued that BTC is “not so anonymous after all”. Thus, the cryptocurrency

ECB Board Member: CBDC Euro Would Respect Privacy, Unlike Private ‘Unstable Coins’

In brief　　A digital euro would protect consumers privacy because the European Central Bank has no commercial interest in personal data, said ECB executive Fabio Panetta.　　Facebook-backed Diem is an “unstable coin,” he said.　　European Central Bank (ECB) executive board member Fabio Panetta believes a digital euro would preserve privacy better than a stablecoin issued by a large tech company.　　“If the central bank gets involved in digital payments, privacy is going to be better protected [...] because we are not like private companies,” he told the Financial Times in an interview published today. “We have no commercial interest in storing, managing or monetising the data of users.”　　Last month, Facebook-backed Diem Association said a pilot version of its stablecoin—a private digital currency pegged 1:1 to a fiat currency—is on the way. Panetta described Diem, formerly Libra, as an “unstable coin,” according to the FT.　　By contrast, the ECB‘s digital euro would be a central bank digital currency (CBDC). It’s still a tentative plan; according to ECB president Christine Lagarde, it could take at least four years. Working out how to design the coin would take two years alone, said Panetta.　　The interview comes two weeks after the ECB advised governments to pay attention to CBDCs.　　In a
