COIN BULLETIN
Bitcoin At $619,047 In 10 Years?
I cannot see the future and I'm not going to claim divine intervention, so I don't know.
But here's the logic behind this Forbes article.
21 million Bitcoins.
Demand of Bitcoin goes up 4%.
You take away away 4% from global demand value (World market capitalization value = 72.3 Trillion dollar + Professionally managed global real estate market = 7.4 trillion + Global Debt = 199 Trillion Dollar +MSCI All Country World Index Market Cap = 50.025 Trillion). (Psst, this bullet is my red flag)
This would give you the price of $619,047 per Bitcoin.

Visa And Blockchain Patents
Public records show that four employees of Visa's global product and business-to-business platform divisions have submitted a patent filing titled "Methods and System for Using Digital Signatures to Create Trusted Digital Asset Services."
The patent seems to be related to a system that can be used to send digitized assets back and forth.

THINGS I DON'T LIKE
Government Interference
According to CoinTelegraph, several members of the US Congress are drafting legislation that is intended to recognize certain digital currencies and protect them against interference from the federal government.
The keyword there was "certain digital currencies," so it does not appear to be a blanket law intended for all currencies.
According to their sources, the bill will focus on including cryptocurrencies with other mainstream form of payments, such as the dollar.
Okay that's noble, what else you got?
Among the proposals are to protect the virtual currencies against harassment from the federal government, prevent the currencies from being considered as a form of security or investment and to protect the transactions using the currencies against taxation.
So...you want all the perks of being mainstream but none of the inconveniences?
This is not how you get a bill passed.
