U.S Lawmakers Rushing to Develop Regulatory Framework For Cryoptocurrency – The cryoptocurrency industry has been expanding in recent years faster than lawmakers can keep up. Many analysts confirmed that this trend is expected to continue at least in the near future. With this trend, U.S. lawmakers have expressed concerns because the cryoptocurrency sector remains largely unregulated. According to Rep. Andy Barr, Kentucky Republican, there are more than 1,000 different digital currencies with a market cap of over $250 billion. The emergency of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies have been around since 2009. The currencies do not require the backing of a central bank. In the past, their growth and use has been hampered by their association with criminal activities like drug trafficking and money laundering. In recent months, the industry has made headlines for criminal activities in which billions of dollars have been lost.

Chilean Court of Appeals Favors Crypto Exchange; Orders Banks to Restart Trading With Orionx – The Chilean Court Of Appeals has given down a decision in favor of crypto exchange Orionx and has ordered banks to restart trading with the platform. As per the news, the Fourth Chamber of the Court of Appeals of Santiago accepted the appeal from Orionx filed against the state-run Chile State Bank, Banco del Estado de Chile (BEC), Itau Corpbanca and six other banks. The cryptocurrency exchange accused these banks of using their power to quash its crypto payment business. All these banks closed the deposit account of the crypto exchange in late March this year citing lack of “regulatory recognition of virtual currency trading.” The banks believed that the steps they were taking were legal and justified. As per the new ruling, the Court has called all banks to reverse their original decision. According to the Court, the decision is an “arbitrary and illegal action, which constitutes a deprivation of the right protected by Article 19 No. 2 of the Political Constitution of the Republic, that is, the right to equality before the law.

American Premium Water Corp. (OTC:HIPH) Release of THRD Coin on FashionCoinX ExchangePress Release | 07/11/2018

PLAYA VISTA, Calif., July 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH) (“APWC”) announces that is has created the THRD Coin to be exchanged on the Company’s FashionCoinX exchange. THRD Coin will encompass multiple brands, including Gents and Worthy. Brands participating in THRD Coin will have the ability to cross promote their products to their followers and customers of the other participating brands. THRD Coin will allow its holders to receive special discounts, unique promotions, and access to exclusive product that will only be able to be purchased utilizing the THRD Coin.

“I am pleased to announce that the Company has finished creating the THRD Coin. Creating this utility token was always part of the Company’s vision in creating a exchange focused on the fashion industry. Having many of years of experience with Gents and other labels, THRD coin will be a great tool for smaller brands to be able to collaborate and cross-promote with other companies in different verticals, maximizing the exposure to like-minded customers. THRD Coin will be a powerful tool for brands, and I am looking forward to seeing it grow and progress. I will be personally overseeing the business development activities for the token,” commented Ryan Fishoff, CEO American Premium Water Corporation.

The THRD Coin is a utility token that is part of the FashionCoinX exchange. FashionCoinX was created as a marketplace for brands and designers to be able to create tokens to better connect with their customers and fans through deals, loyalty rewards and exclusive product. The tokens on the exchange will only be able to be used to purchase products

“THRD Coin and (FashionCoinX) are innovative platforms that are utilizing blockchain technologies to disrupt the fashion industry. I have personally seen the effect that e-commerce and Amazon have had on traditional brick and mortar retailers, and the brands sold in the traditional retail channel. This technology will help even the playing field, as it will enable both brands and retailers to be better connected with consumers. I am excited about the potential that the THRD Coin has. The exchange (FashionCoinX) and the token (THRD Coin) align with the Company’s focus on “Brand.Luxury.Lifestyle”, our guideline going forward as myself and management continue to reshape the Company,” added Mr. Fishoff.

The Company has initated the process of filing an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the state of Nevada to drop “Water” from it’s name to reflect its’ focus on growing and acquiring luxury consumer brands across all product categories. The Company will provide updates to the investment community in the coming weeks on this topic. The Company is also in discussions with various brands and outlets to accept the token. The Company is working with the developers of the FashionCoinX to generate multiple revenue streams for the Company utilizing the exchange and the utility tokens such as; listing fees from participating brands, exchange fees, and transaction fees for online or point of sale transactions utilizing the THRD Coin.

“I have personally been in dialogue with a number of brands looking to join THRD Coin. My experience with Gents allows me the ability to connect with many of the owners of these small brands; I understand the challenges of doing business in the 21st retail environment. I also plan to reach out to our retail partners (Saks, Bloomingdales, and Nordstroms) among other multi-branded retailers (and e-tailers) to develop a strategy for their participation. There is nothing in the marketplace like these platforms (FashionCoinX and THRD Coin) and we are going to work diligently to exploit this have first-to-market advantage. Increasing the number of outlets accepting THRD Coin would expand the avenues for monetization, which could add significant top-line revenue to the Company,” Mr. Fishoff concluded.

This is just freaking mind boggling. I just can't believe how ridiculously low most of the bitcoin related stocks I bought back around the May 14th consensus thinking there would be excitement. Even after averaging down once or a few times and only a month and a half ago: MARA -22%, BTCS -21%, BTSC -25%, RIOT -15%, GBTC -38%, MGTI -23%, INTV -36%, DPW -60%, ATLEF -30%, GAHC -41%, DIGAF -64%. I would consider those negative percentages not bad compared to when these stocks were much higher. I thought the news was very bullish all the way back in February or March from a youtube video made by Palm Research Group Teeka Tiwara I heard the possibility of institutional investors adding in numbers like $5 trillion dollars to cryptocurrency. And then I recently heard $20 trillion and I might have heard $40 trillion dollars? somewhere. The total market cap on coinmarketcap.com says $250 billion. $5 trillion added would be 20x, 20 trillion 80x, 40 trillion - 160x!

Japan Wants To Change Crypto Taxation, Has Doubts Over Public Acceptance
During the Upper House budget committee meeting that took place on June 25 in Japan, the Japanese Finance minister and Deputy Prime Minister said they would change how crypto transactions are currently taxed in Japan. As reported by Reuters, the minister, however, thinks the public might not accept this change in taxation of cryptocurrency transactions. Currently, all gains as a result of crypto transactions are simply taxed as miscellaneous income which is subject to a comprehensive taxation whereby the tax rate is arrived at as per the amount including other salaries like income. According to the explanation by the National Tax Agency (NTA), Japan has about 7 income tax brackets which have tax rates that range from 5%-45% on earnings.

CRYPTO BILLINGS Payment Gateway Launched


DOPECOIN (DOPE) LAUNCHES CRYPTO BILLINGS:
A PAYMENT GATEWAY FOR SEAMLESS E-COMMERCE INTEGRATION


https://dopecoin.com/dopecoin-press-release-crypto-billings-launch/




World-Wide 12/19/2017



The Dopecoin (DOPE) team is proud to announce the beta release of its custom-built payment gateway. Crypto Billings is designed to provide a seamless experience for popular E-commerce platforms to integrate cryptocurrency payments into their online retail operations.

The release of Crypto Billings marks the achievement of an important milestone in the Dopecoin / Smoke Exchange (SMX) development roadmap. Crypto Billings will function as an essential bridge between retailers in the legal marijuana industry, Dopecoin, and The Smoke Exchange advertising platform. The payment gateway provides an easy on-ramp for retailers with its plugin for the popular WooCommerce platform. The easily installed plugin will allow retailers to quickly adopt our secure cryptocurrency payment method into their online retail operations.





CRYPTO BILLINGS FEATURES


100% SECURITY FOR RETAILERS AND CUSTOMERS.
Payments from customers are transferred automatically to the retailer’s wallet and are never held online. Every transaction is individually recorded and provides merchants with a detailed report of each and every sale.



ACCURATE PRICING AND RISK MITIGATION IN VOLATILE MARKETS.
Crypto Billings technology pulls real-time currency values directly from coinmarketcap.com to ensure merchants are displaying accurate, up to the minute pricing at all times. When combined with the auto-sell feature on an exchange like Bittrex, retailers can eliminate the risk associated with holding altcoins in volatile markets. Risk mitigation will also be possible by immediately liquidating supported currencies directly into advertising budget on The Smoke Exchange when the platform launches in Q1 of 2018.



ELIMINATE FEES
Currently, there are ZERO payment fees associated with using the Crypto Billings payment gateway. The plugin and payment gateway service are both 100% free, completely eliminating the merchant fees associated with being paid via credit card.



ACCEPT PAYMENTS FROM ANYWHERE
Open up your customer base to a wider audience with ease and security. No matter where they are in the world or what their local fiat currency is, they will still be able to pay you instantly with crypto.



PROVIDE YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY
Cryptocurrency adoption is growing exponentially. Stay ahead of the curve by providing your customers with access to the latest cutting-edge innovations in blockchain technology while simultaneously increasing your own foothold in burgeoning cryptocurrency markets.



ACCEPT MULTIPLE CRYPTOCURRENCIES
Although initially, Crypto Billings will only process payments for DOPE, it has the capability to incorporate all of the most popular cryptocurrencies. Retailers will be able to provide customers the freedom and flexibility to pay in whatever currency they choose.



DOPECOIN EXCLUSIVITY
DopeCoin will be the only marijuana-related cryptocurrency that Crypto Billings will provide payment processing services for. This allows DopeCoin investors the opportunity to reap the benefits of the DopeCoin development teams hard work.



FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF CRYPTO BILLINGS


UI & RESPONSIVENESS FIXES, LIVE SIGN-UPS & ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.



ADDITIONAL E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS
Plugins and extensions for other popular E-Commerce platforms are still under development and are scheduled to be released in the future.



ADDITIONAL COIN / TOKEN SUPPORT
SMX

Crytpo Billings will process payments utilizing the tokens from the Smoke Exchange (SMX) as soon as the advertising payment platform is released in Q1 2018.

Look into OST - Simple Token

[CryptoManiacUSA]

Ten 'coins' in the fountain. Which one/s will the fountain BLESS? ALL OF THEM! Hello there, my cryptocurrency, digital money, & otherwise Blockchain COMRADS! I'm a 'newbie' here, on this cryptocurrency OTC/Penny Stocks forum. And, I'm a 'newbie' to this (convoluted) world of 'Digital Money'. As such, I just wanted to pass-along my very recent (high-profit) returns!

After several days of reviewing the 2018 'altcoins' recommendations of numerous online 'Crypto-World PUNDITS', I invested a total of $3000 (USD) into the following 10-each, speculative, though highly-recommended 'altcoins' (in alphabetical order): (1.) "Basic Attention Coin" (BAT); (2.) "Burst" (BURST); (3.) "Cardano" (ADA); (4.) "DigiByte" (DGB); (5.) "Dogecoin" (DOGE); (6.) "IOTA" (MIOTA); (7.) "PotCoin" (POT); (8.) "Ripple" (XRP); (9.) "Steem" (STEEM); and(10.) "Lumens" (XLM.

BOTTOM LINE: To wit, since my initial purchases of the above-listed 10 'altcoins' --- beginning on 11-16-17 (my "Ripple" buy) --- my original $3000 (USD) is now worth circa $7000 (USD). Not bad, for about a one-month investment period! In recent days, the 'Gold Standard' of coins, namely Bitcoin, has taken a dump. But many 'altcoins' are skyrocketing! And I am only 2-months into this arcane 'digital currency' stuff!

Good luck!
