Good morning traders and TGIF! The week is ending and let's recap some things before we head over to the Lalalands.
BITSHARES
Are you tired of seeing this?
Bitshares now rocks 3 separate blockexplorers. That's right, 3! In addition to the most widely-used http://cryptofresh.com/, there is also http://bitshares-explorer.io and now we have a fresh addition bts.ai. So if one block explorer is in maintenance mode, head on over to the next and grab what you need.
bts.ai is originally in chinese, but you can easily switch the language at the top right. Unfortunately i've yet to find it as clean & user friendly as our favorite cryptofresh, but it is a welcome addition to the family. So far it seems to only dispay blocks, transactions and accounts, but is lacking the ability to display ASSETS (Let me know if you find out otherwise). I'm hoping to see this one catch up to the others and grow in terms of features and usability.
The second one, bitshares-explorer.io, is arranged neatly and looks already much more user friendly than bts.ai, and even rocks a neat search engine. I was easily able to find the asset Buildteam, but unfortunately, it only displays the top holders and the market could be displayed a bit better as well - it currently just mimics the Bitshares client.
Now we come to the eldest of the Bitshares block explorers and also my favorite - http://www.cryptofresh.com. Why? Let's say i want to see the details of the asset BUILDTEAM, list all holders, sellers and buyers along with their orders. No problem, find the asset BUILDTEAM and there they are. This makes it easy planning trades and getting an overview of the market. Some might think that showing orders and their owners together might not be a good idea from the privacy viewpoint, but this is the blockchain, all the data is public nevertheless, cryptofresh block explorer just makes it easier for us to view the available information.
Which one do you use and why? Plan on making your own? Let me know in the comments
Regulations are coming
Among the Asia FUD - South-Korea, China, India, there are also other countries looking to regulate cryptocurrencies, but taking it in a much calmer manner. That is the only correct approach - outright banning trading and closing exchanging will meet the stone-wall resistance of traders. Most European countries already regulate crypto trading and incomes, yet the tax agencies seem to lack a thorough understanding of a cryptoworld and fail to grasp the greater picture. Try explaining Bitshares, powering up or token staking to any official.
Among the latest are Stephen Poloz, governor of the Bank of Canada and UK Prime Minister Theresa May. Poloz, in a recent interview said that the BoC is looking onto way of regulating the cryptoworld, but not in a way that would hinder the progress of innovation. Poloz also said that he considers blockchain technology "pure genius". A man one could look up to.

Theresa May, on the other hand, in an interview at WEF (World Economic Forum) voiced her concern about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because of the ways they can be used - especially by criminals - and said that UK is very seriously looking onto regulating cryptocurrencies.
