Cambridge Study On GDPR and Cryptocurrencies

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) act was put in place recently to protect the rights of citizens to maintain control of their personal information. However, a study by Queen Mary University of London and the University of Cambridge determined that certain aspects of the regulations will likely slow down implementation of extremely beneficial blockchain networks. Using the cryptographic nature of blockchain could allow governments to streamline many of the documentation processes that retain citizenship and other important information. “Controllers” are entities that retain personal information. Because cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks make transfers of personal information, they could be considered this category even though the data is encrypted. Fines for transacting such information without the consent of the individual are set as €20 million (about $22 million) or 4% of global turnover/revenues, whichever is higher.

 

Tim Draper Maintains $250,000Prediction

Last week at a Web Summit summit conference, Tim Draper reaffirmed his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by 2022. “Believe it, it’s going to happen – they’re going to think you’re crazy but believe it, it’s happening, it’s going to be awesome!... Yes. We are talking [...] about five percent market share to get to $250,000. That seems like a drop in a bucket and all we need to really do is make it so that Bitcoin can be used to buy Starbucks coffee, and all of a sudden the world just opens up and then they say ‘I’ve got this choice.’ [...] Do I want a currency that I can take from country to country [...] or do I want one that sticks me in one country or one geographic area and I can’t use it anywhere else?”
