Despite the parabolic performance in some altcoins, Bitcoin is stagnating around the high-$11,000s. As of the time of this article’s writing, BTC is trading for $11,600. This comes after it was rejected last week at the $12,000 level yet again, marking a loss for bulls. Analysts say that Bitcoin managing to hold the $11,500 level would bolster the medium-term bull case dramatically. One trader went as far as to say that the cryptocurrency closing the weekly candle at $11,500 could leave bears without much hope. He isn’t the first commentator

Many speculate that mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency is dependent solely on improving ease of access and user experience. In reality, there’s an even bigger obstacle: a mentality shift. Self-sovereignty and personal autonomy are the endgame of this technology, and with that goal comes a significant increase in personal responsibility for one’s funds. This is totally at odds with people’s traditional financial experience so far; the legacy system takes away your autonomy and replaces it with convenience, offering useful tools related to fraud protection and password management. By comparison, cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance

In June 2019, the intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force (FATF) introduced its revised set of standards for virtual asset service providers.
