Weekly: What’s Hot on the Crypto Market [ChangeNOW’s Blog]
“Off the Chain” gets removed from iTunes
The show hosted by Anthony Pompliano was removed from Apple after a Bitcoin-related episode. On November 5th Anthony tweeted that the podcast was taken down without explanation after reaching 4th place in the investing category of the US iTunes Store. The episode that triggered the takedown was named “The Ultimate Bitcoin Argument”. In this issue of the show, Murad Mahmudov (a well-known bitcoin maximalist) was explaining why, in his opinion, the banks and financial institutions should turn to bitcoin.
Update: “Off the Chain” is back to iTunes and is available for download.
IOTA + Ledger
On the 5th of November, the IOTA cryptocurrency announced compatibility with Ledger, a popular hardware wallet. Now IOTA can be stored on Ledger Nano S. According to IOTA’s official release, Ledger wallets integrate with IOTA Trinity and ROMEO Wallets and isolate account keys from their computer or smartphone which provides security from hackers.
Elon Musk is giving away BTC
Hackers managed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars by making people believe they were Elon Musk on Twitter. Several verified Twitter accounts were taken over and used to mask the scam. Hackers changed the account names to Elon Musk and sent a tweet saying that people can send their bitcoins to a given address and get more crypto back (from 1 to 20 BTC). Musk himself has not commented on the scam yet.
EtherDelta found illegal
