ICO risks
ICO risks (as promulgated by Singapore Monetary Authority) ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) as I’ve been saying are the “Go To” method at the moment for Blockchain and Fintech companies to raise funds for their Ecosystem. Scotcoin was one of the earliest adopters of the view that Crypto Currencies would be regulated, and we have been […]
10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas? $10?
I apologise, dear reader, for having missed World Bitcoin Pizza day this year. In case you don’t know, it was May 22nd, 2010, when an extremely fortunate pizza vendor sold two pizzas worth $10, for 10,000 Bitcoins. Even allowing for the recent slide, that’s $34,500,000. Prices of Bitcoin have – as I said recently – […]

Based on the policies involving cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technologies, UK moves to liberalization […]
Crash? What Crash?
The Bitcoin Crash Which Never Was is OVER So guess what? The Bitcoin crash that never was appears to be over short term. There are still issues with Segwit come 1st August and a LOT could still go wrong, but it’s beginning to look as if BTC will climb much higher once this is safely […]
Crypto collapse?
“What does the collapse in crypto currencies mean? In the last couple of weeks the whole market, including Bitcoin, is down around 30% with Bitcoin itself falling as much as 35% at one point. Some coins are down 50%+. Some recovery has taken place, but the market as a whole has shrunk from over $100billion […]
Your Scotcoin is now worth more!
SCOTCOIN INCREASES IN VALUE: Following a hike in the value of Bitcoin, Scotcoin too is enjoying an uplift in value… But how do it actually work?
