They're actually planning ahead by partnering with Samsung to implement blockchain technology into their government systems. By 2022, everything will be working more efficiently, more securely, and have a much more transparent no matter what happens. Doesn't seem like they're that concerned. Watching bitcoin's price go up and up and up and up is a lot like watching a horse race where it turns out that your favorite horse is amazing, is actually a bull, and it's pulled ahead and it's going for the finish. And that seems to be how mainstream media is treating this, like bitcoin is just almost at its peak. But it's important to remember that this is a long race, it can go a lot further. And it's not like the other horses in this race are just show ponies. You have Ethereum whose price are up, you have Litecoin whose prices are up, and there's a lot of race left to run. So how far do you think bitcoin is going to go and who's your favorite pony in the race? With some good news and bad news, it seems that Kucoin is going to be reimbursing investors who, after investing in Confido where they were left with a $347,000 hole in their heart when all of that up and just disappeared.
