The Bitcoin symbol ₿ is now available on Twitter. It is displayed when writing the hashtags #Bitcoin or #BTC.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Twitter, was the first who added the Bitcoin symbol to his Twitter message. The Dorsey entry demonstrates that now when a Twitter user writes the hashtag #Bitcoin or #BTC, a cryptocurrency symbol is displayed next to him.

Heath Tarbert, chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), again expressed confidence that there would be Ethereum futures on the market.

"We have seen bitcoin futures, both cash-settled as well as physically-delivered. My guess is we are going to see ether futures as well," said Tarbert in an interview with Bloomberg.

The shocking American businessman John McAfee, who was recently waiting for a $ 1 million Bitcoin exchange rate, changed his mind and now calls the first cryptocurrency "shitcoin".

More recently, McAfee said that he would cut off and eat his penis if, by the beginning of 2020, the Bitcoin exchange rate did not reach $ 1 million. It seems that McAfee quickly went over to the camp of "cryptosceptics" - or, rather, "altcoin worshipers".

One of the first Bitcoin developers, Gavin Andresen, believes that Satoshi Nakamoto could have misjudged the prospects for creating a cryptocurrency.

Andresen first heard about Bitcoin in 2010. He immediately became interested in the idea and soon became the leading curator of the development. In 2013, he "handed over authority" to Vladimir van der Laan, creator of Bitcoin-QT (Bitcoin Core).

Former Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Giancarlo announced the creation of the Digital Dollar Foundation.

Giancarlo said that a non-profit organization will study the possibilities and prospects of "converting" the US dollar into electronic currency on the blockchain, as well as explore the potential benefits of a "digitized" dollar.

Craig Wright said he had access to 1.1 million Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoins, which at the current rate is about $ 9.3 billion. After that, the Bitcoin SV altcoin rate has grown by almost 100%.

Wright has repeatedly stated that he is the inventor of the first cryptocurrency. According to him, together with their partner David Kleiman, they mined 1.1 million BTC at the beginning of the existence of Bitcoin. 

According to Blockstream CEO Adam Back, the Bitcoin exchange rate this year can easily reach $ 100,000.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes digital space needs to be regulated, but self-regulation is the best solution.

"One of the big questions for the next decade is: how should we govern the large new digital communities that the internet has enabled," Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post.

Cryptocurrency enthusiast John McAfee, known for his eccentricity, said that he would not eat his intimate body, despite the fact that the Bitcoin exchange rate had not reached $ 1 million by 2020.

Back in mid-2017, McAfee said that if by the beginning of 2020 the rate of the first cryptocurrency does not rise to $ 500,000, then he would cut and eat his genitals. After a while, against the background of a bullish spurt in Bitcoin, he increased the rate to $ 1 million. Later, McAfee repeatedly confirmed the forecast, but now he refused his words, saying on the social network Twitter that he was only attracting attention.

Coinbase Co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong published a post in which he predicted the development of the cryptocurrency industry for the next ten years.
