Florida Bitcoin & Blockchain Summit
Bitcoin and Stocks Took a Gut Punch

Instead of waxing poetic about why the price of bitcoin “doesn’t matter,” TABConf attendees got down to the business of trying to break bitcoin’s commerce layer.

Surprise, surprise, inflation is still lurking about. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) report was released Thursday. The CPI – which tracks the general price of goods across the U.S. – rose 8.2% in September from the same month a year ago, above the forecasted 8.1%.

CoinDesk U.S. markets reporter Helene Braun added good color Thursday morning, writing: “The ‘core’ CPI, which strips out volatile energy and food prices and is more closely watched by investors and policymakers because it’s seen as a more steady indicator of underlying price pressures, rose 0.6%.” Read More

Bloomberg

China’s ban on cryptocurrencies seemed poised to wipe out the domestic industry. That’s not quite how things played out.

This summer, word started spreading over Chinese social media about a conference in Dali, a city nestled among 4,000-meter (13,100-foot) peaks in the country’s southwest.

The organizers expected fewer than 200 attendees, but ended up selling out the 1,000-person venue only to see more than double that number ultimately show up for the August event. The topic of the gathering: crypto, the sector China’s government declared largely illegal a year ago. Read More
