With prices back on the upswing, bitcoin’s transaction count and fees have increased noticeably over the past few months. As more new users begin entering the market, it may be time for the BTC community to ask itself if the technology is truly ready for mass adoption.

Crypto is approaching one of the most critical, and potentially destructive, moments in its history: and very few people even seem to know about it. At least, that’s according to Joseph Weinberg, co-founder of Shyft Network and a long-time player in the space.

Weinberg, who is also a special advisor on blockchain issues to the OECD, believes that a new implementation note from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)  could radically change how the crypto industry operates.

Cryptocurrencies could be finding more retail adoption….depending on who you ask.  After Whole Foods and Starbucks began accepting Bitcoin, through Flexa’s Spedn app, AT&T announced its integration with BitPay. That sounds like good news for adoption, but with intermediary services turning those crypto payments into fiat payments, it may also be too good to be true.

Bitcoin price predictions are turning into a cottage industry.

Hackers are still one of the biggest threats to Proof-of-Work networks. In the past year, digital thieves have used rented hash power to stage successful attacks on Vertcoin, Verge , Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum Classic, and several other cryptocurrencies, most of which have never recovered.

A handful of projects could decide the future of security tokenization, according to a leading figure at a security issuer. Matthew Le Merle of Securitize says that the first STO’s could become paragons of asset tokenization – or they could set the industry back by a decade.

Le Merle told Crypto Briefing that the entire industry “rest[s] on a knife edge.”

On one hand, he said, the world is gradually recognizing the benefits of asset tokenization, which could allow trillions of dollars of value to be easily traded.
