What is Tether coin?

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency the value of which is fixed 1:1 by the US dollar.

Official website: https://tether.to/

The idea behind this coin ­- how to create a “stable coin” which is immune against price fluctuation, but, at the same time, does not lose the characteristic features of cryptocurrency. Tether was created in 2015, and at the beginning, it was called “Realcoin”. At the moment, USDT Market cap is $2,285,704,489 USD according to the results of Coinmarketcap.com.

At the same time, for example, SWIFT transfer Fee will be between 20 to 30 USD, while USDT transfer Fee will be - 0%. For example, for arbitrage traders these elements (speed and transaction fee) play main role.

The local media inform that Romania has made amendments to tax laws, approving a 10% tax on the profits from the investments in cryptocurrency. In accordance with the new legislation, the income received from the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies is classified as “the income received from other sources” and, therefore, is subject to the income tax. “Now the income from the operations with Bitcoin are taxed and reflected in the annual report on the profits and losses. Only incomes or profits are taxed,” the Romanian daily financial newspaper Ziarul Financiar quoted Adrian Benta, the local tax consultant.

It is reported that the profits from one transaction of less than 200 Romanian leu (about $ 50) will not be taxed. However, the investors shall pay a 10% income tax on the profit from the cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 600 Romanian leu per year. Benta expressed the opinion that the cryptocurrency tax thresholds, according to the new legislation, were “fair”.

“Before that, we had a more complicated procedure, in which you had to register as a freelancer if you repeatedly performed the operations with cryptocurrencies. Currently, this income is considered as additional income from other sources.”

In this case, it is not clear in what way the government will ensure compliance with the tax rules for these operations.

In connection with the approaching deadline for the payment of taxes in many countries of the world, the issue of taxation of income from the cryptocurrency operations is increasingly raised. Recently, the Swedish tax agency demanded that a cryptocurrency trader pay a tax on income, but earlier this month it became known that the Chilean traders would pay taxes on cryptocurrency revenues.

Besides, in January, the Bulgarian tax service announced that it will check the cryptocurrency exchanges and their clients. The Danish Tax Authority also stated that it will verify that the citizens pay the taxes on cryptocurrency trading, but the United Kingdom, in the middle of December, issued a tax guide for the cryptocurrency investors.

According to the information provided by the experts of the Kaspersky Lab, in 2018, 13 million cases of cryptojacking were registered, which is 40% (3.5 million) more than last year.

The popularity of digital currencies is growing rapidly, and along with it, the number of cryptocurrency crimes is increasing. Although many participants in the cryptocurrency industry indicate the unstable behaviour of the market as the main problem of the industry this year, the representatives of the Kaspersky Lab are ready to argue with it.

According to the information provided by the Russian company of cybersecurity, the main type of the cryptocurrency crimes taking place during this year was cryptojacking. If during the last year, the extortion programs were very popular among the cybercriminals, then this year the number of such attacks was significantly reduced. However, unfortunately, the reason for this is not at all a general decrease in crime – cybercriminals have switched to a more profitable type of attack.

What is cryptojacking?

The term “cryptojacking” is used to describe the activities of the law offenderassociated with the mining of digital currencies. Cryptojackers capture the computers of the cryptocurrency users and direct their funds to their own addresses.

In order to get access to the victim's computer, cryptojackers use malicious scripts. The malicious code runs on the infected computer and works so unnoticed that the victim does not have any suspicions. After some time, the script can interfere with the operation of the processor, slowing down the computer. Very often anonymous cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR) are obtained by using cryptojacking.

The most alarming statistics in this regard are observed in the countries of the Middle East and Africa, where the number of the cases of cryptojacking has quadrupled in comparison with the last year.

Paypal has launched a blockchain platform where the employees of the company can exchange the internal tokens for services and goods, for example, have a cup of coffee with a manager. The tokens can also be used to pay for a poker game with the vice president of the company and other interesting offers.

Through the participation in different corporate programs, the employees can multiply internal tokens which were distributed to all employees. The coins can be traded among them and can serve as the means of earning. Outside the company, tokens have no value.

With this innovation, PayPal began training its employees in crypto-economics. The blockchain platform itself was developed by a group of 25 people and was launched in the middle of-November.
