The Lead

Digital Wealth News is pleased to bring you a very special AND EXCLUSIVE interview this week with noted blockchain entrepreneur, T. Gobble of FinTurk Farms.

Keep in mind that these newly listed Bitcoin ETFs do NOT actually hold Bitcoin, but rather Bitcoin FUTURES, and specifically, futures traded on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) which settle monthly in cash. In other words, these new ETFs will never actually hold Bitcoins. How will this affect Bitcoin trading, settlement and, most importantly, how the ETFs will trade? Again, who knows. Its a brand new world.

Mastercard is about to expand the crypto economy all the way down to the grassroots level. Its huge and brilliant. Mastercard is ready to announce that thousands of banks and millions of merchants on its vast payments network will soon be able to integrate crypto into their products. When you really dig deep, its a game changer.

always chasing cars actually caught one. Well the "dog" (ProShares) just caught its coveted Bitcoin ETF, sort of. It's a Bitcoin FUTURES ETF. Big difference. But, at least at long last, the SEC finally approved a Bitcoin "flavored" Exchange Traded Fund, well then, yippee!

Gold retires. Yes, it's true. After 5,000 years of impeccable service to global monetary development and stability, Gold announced its retirement. The world is grateful.

Just when you think there could not possibly be anything left to politicize along comes a new entrant. Crypto. How might potential voters view legalizing crypto for payments? Would Republicans or Democrats be more inclined to accept crypto as legal tender? Where do they live? Red state? Blue sate? How would they vote? If you are contemplating running for political office you need (?) to know, right? Well let's dig in.

s I write this on October 4th, and we're all watching the complete blackout of all Facebook-related sites, many people may not realize that the firm is a huge player in the payments space, and that is currently offline as well.

Better late than never. Looks like that's the thinking over at JPMorgan. For the very first time in its 222 year history, the banking giant has decided to open its first international expansion. So with a big jump "across the pond," JPM is set to launch its new digital bank...... Chase..... in the UK next week. The official announcement is expected next Tuesday (28th).

Did you know (I sure didn't) that there are 195 countries in the world? Did you know (I did) that only one so far has made Bitcoin legal tender? That country is El Salvador down in Central America. And sure, as dominoes fall there will be many more following El Salvador's lead.
