RegulationFacebook’s Libra taught regulators to write faster
A social network with billions of users proposed a payment token governed in Geneva, backed by bank deposits and short-term government paper. That is a company product aimed at scale. It is not bitcoin.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
SecurityBinance’s 7,000 BTC theft is why SAFU existed
Phishing and malware against users, then one withdrawal that passed existing checks. Roughly $41 million at the day’s print. Bitcoin confirmed a signature. It did not fail.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
RegulationNew York’s Tether order is about a balance sheet, not a peg algorithm
About $850 million stuck at Crypto Capital, then a line of credit on Tether’s cash, the filing says. A dollar token is a company IOU plus whatever sits behind it.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
CompaniesQuadrigaCX’s missing coins were a company, not a locked laptop
Canada’s then-largest crypto shop told customers the CEO was gone. Creditor protection followed. One person with the passwords is not a custody design. It is a single point of failure — or a cover.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min read
MarketsThe 2018 winter was a print, not a funeral

AltcoinsBitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV split. Tickers are not the same asset.
Two implementations, two tapes, and a fight over block size and opcodes. Bitcoin itself did not split that day. An exchange listing is a product choice.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readCompaniesUSDC launches. A dollar token is still a company product.
An ERC-20 that you redeem through a company. Attestations are not a 10-K. Tether’s later New York fight is a different issuer. Circle’s IPO is years away.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readAltcoinsEOS mainnet is a launch after a fundraise, not a finished country
Twenty-one block producers, a year-long ICO, and a software drop. Ethereum still ran the apps people actually used that week. Telegram’s later Gram case is a different sale.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readCompaniesGoogle’s crypto ad ban is a platform rule, not a protocol
Search, YouTube, and the display network are a company’s inventory. Bitcoin kept producing blocks. A restricted-category policy is not a ban on maths.EasyCryptoGuides · · 1 min readSecurity
