The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO), or the Treadway Commission, will be issuing guidance for companies using
blockchain technology in Q1 of 2020. The guidance aims to boost
control over the uses of blockchain in supply chain management and
financial services.
It also focuses on helping companies combat cyber risks
due to the adoption of new technologies by managing them "through careful
design and implementation of appropriate responses and recovery processes,"
citing hackers who demand ransoms paid in cryptocurrency. According to a
recent Forbes report, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres
said that blockchain should be one of the technologies used by the UN,
and that the organization must embrace the technology.
He explained
that the UN needs to "embrace technologies like blockchain that can help
accelerate the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals," allowing them to
"deliver better on our mandate in the digital age." In July 2018,
Guterres created a "High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation" that explicitly put
blockchain technology on the UN agenda. This included launching a
blockchain tool that aims to prevent the exploitation of migrant workers in Hong
Kong and working on blockchain solutions for sustainable urban development in
Afghanistan. A recent report titled "Monetary Policy for 2020" announced that
South Korea's central bank, the Bank of Korea, will employ experts to study the
effects of cryptocurrencies, distributed ledgers and central bank digital
currencies (CBDCs) on security and financial settlements, as early as January
2020. The CBDC task force will 'enact assessment principles, reflecting
domestic conditions, to improve the effectiveness of its oversight of the
payment and settlement systems". It will also "keep an eye" on other countries'
CBDC experiments. As part of his new year predictions, Mike Novogratz said that
Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $12,000 in 2020 as markets recover from new
suppression. He would also honor a 1 ETH bet, should U.S. President Donald Trump
lose the upcoming presidential election.

Coinbase warned users that it may be forced to remove the decentralized
application (DApp) browser feature from its wallet application from the Apple
App Store.
As part of their global expansion strategy, Huobi is launching a
fiat gateway in Indonesia for fiat-to-crypto trading between the Indonesian
Rupiah (IDR) and Tether (USDT), making it possible for investors to use the IDR
to trade over 250 cryptocurrencies on Huobi Indonesia.

lunch with Warren Buffett "How much do you agree with this statement: "2019 was
a less boring year in crypto than 2018"" The average vote was 5.7. It was
less scarey because I got out . – Nooo why! Embrace your imperfections!
