Businessweek columnist definitely writes crypto essay

Popular Bloomberg financial columnist Matt Levine has written a crypto manifesto of sorts. The longtime financial columnist published a 40,000-word article on all things cryptocurrency on Monday in Businessweek.

Amid one of the worst downturns in the industry’s 14-year history, Levine praised the good parts, criticized the bad and dangled hope that this newfangled way of moving money and information around has staying power.

For cryptocurrency historians, or new investors looking to learn the ropes in a relatively short period of time, the all-encompassing, definitive essay provides rich background and context. The complexities of the industry are (mostly) laid out in plain English, providing the perfect on-ramp for new users.

UK votes to regulate crypto assets

Lawmakers in the UK voted to recognize cryptoassets as regulated financial instruments and products on Tuesday. The House of Commons will add crypt to the list of assets under the preview of the proposed Financial Services and Markets Bill.

The broad aim of the bill is to outline a post-Brexit economic strategy, and crypto slipped into the comprehensive document.

“The bottom line here is to treat them [crypto] like other forms of financial assets and not to prefer them, but also to bring them within the scope of regulation for the first time, Andrew Griffith, the finance minister and the city minister, said during the parliamentary session before lawmakers voted largely to keep the change in the legislative package.

Dogechain triples its value in a week

The token for Dogechain, DC, has tripled in value in the past week. It’s not the first time the memecoin has skyrocketed in value, and Dogechain community members are now voting on a “big burn proposal,” which will determine whether the total supply of the token will be reduced by 80% proportionally through all allocations.

DC traded at $0.0004 on Friday and rocketed – on a percentage basis – to $0.0018 on Sunday.

When Dogechain was created in August, it dropped 90% in the first month. Now it has rekindled much of its momentum, with a market cap of $46 million.
