1. Second life to Bitcoin seized by drugs thanks to the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, and Germany.
According to the study of the University of Technology of Sydney, it is demonstrated that the fourth part of the cryptocurrencies is linked with drugs and drug trafficking. This is so, thanks to the characteristic that has blockchain of being anonymous.

Consequently, there is a long way to travel to avoid this type of action. However, the fact that the FBI, the DEA, and other international organizations work on it is a good sign. The bitcoin auction is a very good option to avoid internal disputes.
To finish, it would not be too much for this bitcoin to be offered to the exchange houses. Or maybe, that the government itself creates its own blockchain network.

4. Banks of Chile in Jaque for blocking the functioning of Buda and other exchange
Recently the banks in Chile have agreed to block the exchange bitcoin houses of their country.
That is, exchange houses like Buda create bank accounts in the countries in which they operate. As for example Peru, Colombia, and Chile.
“Basically, the industry will continue to develop, and it is also very important for the country, not only for the cryptocurrency industry, because banks here have too much control over everything. So, the fact that they can kill an industry, an entire industry, a complete technology, simply because they did not like it, is very risky for a country. ” Guillermo Torrealba, CEO of Buda.com
He also commented that the excuse that banks were giving for the closure has no basis.
Since they are based on the excuse that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not regulated. Which is not a valid argument.
“They are not the ones who decide what is regulated or not” said Torrealba.
In short, this situation is unfair, we just have to wait for the official statement from the Chilean banking entities about its position with bitcoin and altcoins.
