The Bitcoin Group #100 - The Halvening - Vogogo Closes - Uber Bitcoin - Anonymous no more
summary
Panel focuses on the 2016 halving that cuts the block reward from 25 to 12.5 BTC per block, miners reportedly smoothing sales to avoid flooding markets, and forecasts of transient volatility with price guesses scattered roughly $500–$1,000 (some outliers at $196 and $800). Discussion covers Coinbase/Vogogo payment exits in Canada, Uber in Argentina routing payments via a Zappo Visa debit card (vulnerable to processor cutoff), and startups like Elliptic blockchain analysis claiming to deanonymize transactions versus counterarguments about targeted warrants and stronger privacy tools.
