This week, the crypto world saw important events, including a milestone Bitcoin sale permitted by the US Supreme Court and new arguments over the genuine identity of Bitcoin's enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin continues to redefine meme coins, as the UAE offers a tax break to bolster its cryptocurrency business. Let's get into the main points.
HBO documentary sparks Satoshi Nakamoto debate.
Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, a new HBO documentary, has rekindled debate regarding the genuine identity of Bitcoin's mysterious founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. The film implies that developer Peter Todd may be the guy behind the cryptocurrency, which has made quite a commotion. However, the cryptocurrency community seems unconvinced.
Despite filmmaker Cullen Hoback's bold claims, Todd has categorically denied any involvement in Bitcoin's inception. Many experts, like Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, believe Satoshi's anonymity was deliberate and necessary. Breitman stated, "Satoshi was sensible to remain anonymous, not only to avoid being a target, but also to keep the discourse focused on Bitcoin rather than the individual. Revealing their identify may alter the focus, distorting the conversation about Bitcoin itself."
US Supreme Court Approves Silk Road Bitcoin Sale.
In a momentous legal ruling, the US Supreme Court cleared the path for the sale of nearly 69,000 Bitcoin confiscated from the infamous Silk Road marketplace. The sale, valued at around $4.4 billion, has been allowed by the US District Court for the Northern District of California and is likely to take place soon.
Crypto markets are keeping a careful eye on how this sale may affect Bitcoin's price, particularly given the forthcoming US elections. The sale of Bitcoin all at once or gradually could have a huge impact on the market. Bitcoin's price has been pretty constant, hovering about $63,270.
Vitalik Buterin's Meme Coin Charity Moves
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has made waves once more, this time for converting meme coins into dollars for charity organizations. Buterin sold $300,000 in meme tokens over the weekend, transforming them into almost 140 ETH. These monies were then given to a legal defense fund that supports the Tornado Cash creators, demonstrating Buterin's commitment to using his influence for good.
Buterin's contributions did not end there. He later sold 10 billion MOODENG meme coins, with the proceeds benefiting the development of anti-airborne disease technology. He said, "I enjoy it when meme coins contribute to charity. The nicest thing for meme coins is that they have a positive impact on the globe, which is fantastic to witness."
The Open Network (TON) boosts the Meme Coin ecosystem with 'Memelandia'.
This week, The Open Network (TON) launched Memelandia, a unique platform aimed at promoting meme coin development and interaction. Memelandia, which is integrated with Telegram, provides a decentralized platform for meme coin fans to create new projects and compete in community-driven tournaments. Platforms such as Launchpad Lair and Meme Mountain are intended to attract innovative and competitive meme coin developers.
This project demonstrates TON's strategic aim of bringing Telegram's massive user base into the crypto sector, notably in the meme coin niche. Despite the enthusiasm, Toncoin (TON) has remained consistent, trading at $5.29, up 0.87% in the last 24 hours.
UAE strengthens its cryptocurrency ecosystem with tax exemptions.
In a bold move, the UAE has stated that beginning November 15, 2024, all cryptocurrency transactions and conversions will be exempt from Value Added Tax. The decision is expected to greatly increase the country's appeal as a global hub for blockchain and cryptocurrency companies.
The UAE thinks that by eliminating the 5% VAT burden on cryptocurrency exchanges, it would boost growth and attract more investors and firms to the region. However, crypto companies looking to establish banking links in the country face significant challenges. According to legal expert Irina Heaver, "While the VAT exemption is a positive step, it does not alleviate the difficulty of obtaining banking services for cryptocurrency businesses in the UAE." Crypto-related firms continue to face banking issues around the world."
