Most investors agree – when it comes to securely storing bitcoin holdings, cold storage is the safest way to go.Physical wallets can get lost or stolen; even private keys stored on offline devices are fodder for sophisticated hackers, who can set traps to steal information as soon as it appears online (for example, when you plug a flash drive containing a key into an online computer). That’s why Argentinian multimillionaire and cryptocurrency advocate Wences Casares founded Xapo, a startup that is taking cryptocurrency security to the next level.

Goldman, who hired former Seven Eight Capital electronic trader Justin Schmidt as its first digital asset trader, plans to use its money to trade with clients on bitcoin-linked contracts.Goldman will not buy and sell bitcoin upon launching their new service, though the team in charge of the new program left open that possibility in the future (pending regulatory approval and ability to negate the risks that come with holding the currency.

From mid-December through essentially late-March, Bitcoin’s price plummeted some 65%, and with the benefit of hindsight, one could argue that it displayed traits commonly found in equity bear markets: a steep, scary drop, followed by a dead cat bounce (February), followed by another down leg.Bear markets often deplete investors’ hopes in cruel ways, and for many, Bitcoin’s bear did just that. But maybe the dark times are over. One could argue that since late March, Bitcoin’s price has found a support level, moving in a sideways trading range of about $6,600 to $7,000.

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, along with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), recently held a hearing to explore increasing regulations on cryptocurrency.Chris Stewart, a Republican from Utah, characterized the regulatory efforts as part of a push to give people “the information they need to make good decisions.” SEC Chairman Jay Clayton acknowledged some gray area still exists regarding bitcoin and Initial Coin Offering (ICO) tokens as securities, but he laid out some generally-accepted rules: bitcoin has “been determined by most people to not be a security,” said Clayton, but ICO tokens seem to always have the characteristics of securities.

So how can those of us without a game-changing idea for a company make great money in tech? Salary comparison and cultural reviews service, Comparably, has some of the answers, which they developed from collecting anonymous compensation data from 100,000 people in tech between March 2016 and February 2018.There are several overarching trends: public companies tend to pay more than private; the bigger the company, the higher the salary; and the gender pay gap remains very real. Comparably collected data from 15 standard positions at tech companies of varying sizes, including data scientist, marketing manager, operations manager, UX designer, and more.

The state of New York has shown significant interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain, holding public forums to learn more about the technology and examining potential use cases for it in government.That curiosity was on display again this week, as Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced the Virtual Markets Integrity Initiative, a “fact-finding inquiry” into prominent crypto exchanges. Schneiderman was quick to point out that was not an investigation, as his office do not suspect any criminal activity on behalf of the selected parties.

So what makes working in crypto so desirable, and what kind of jobs are out there for you?   The Benefits of an ICO ICOs, or Initial Coin Offerings, have allowed cryptocurrency projects to raise significant capital quickly while bypassing venture capital firms entirely (if desired).This means companies like Filecoin, who raised $257 million in a recent ICO to fund their blockchain-based, decentralized file storage system, have significant resources available immediately to hire good people – and the autonomy to dictate their own direction. Having an immediate influx of capital means higher salaries (roughly 10-20% higher than industry standards, in both technical and non-technical roles), as well as desirable profit-sharing arrangements.

More so than the bubbling trade dispute, growing fears of technology regulation, or any other fear circulating the markets today.

The announcement comes after government crackdowns in China forced Huobi and other Chinese exchanges to cease yuan-denominated trading in October 2017, altering their business plans. According to Huobi’s COO, Robin Zhu, the new foray into the U.S. market is a major piece of their broader international expansion effort following the forced pivot.It follows that Huobi has since opened offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea, and there are plans for a similar venture in Japan. The company’s new San Francisco office initially focused on blockchain startups, but the presence of compliance experts on the payroll signaled the possibility of a US launch before the recent official announcement.

But as it turns out, it wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg. In a blog post by Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer, Facebook is now saying that “most” of its 2 billion users may have had their personal data skimmed from the site by "malicious actors."While Facebook insists it has disabled the feature that enabled data scraping from the site’s search function, the fact remains that the feature existed for enough time to compromise most users. The direct quote from CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself is the tell-all of how bad this problem really is: "It is reasonable to expect that if you've had that setting on in the last several years that someone has accessed your information.

Quorum, which shares 95 percent of its software with cryptocurrency Ethereum’s blockchain, is an “enterprise-focused version of Ethereum…ideal for any application requiring high speed and high throughput processing of private transactions within a permissioned group of known participants” aimed at addressing “specific challenges to blockchain technology adoption within the financial industry, and beyond.” The open-source project began in 2016, becoming part of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA) in February of 2017.

The company, which began operations 18 months ago and partnered with payments provider Blueshyft to provide the new service, bills itself as “one of the first independent Bitcoin exchange networks in Australia.” The announcement comes at a time of increased mainstream recognition for cryptocurrency.Rupert Hackett, CEO of Bitcoin.com.au, touted the move as another example of increased institutional acceptance for bitcoin, marveling at “the fact that you can now buy bitcoin and ethereum from the same place you purchase soft drinks and stationary.” Hackett sees the new sales model as a perfect fit for novice investors, simplifying a process that can seem intimidating and abstract to laypeople.
