The Beijing News: Haidian District of Beijing took the lead in launching the blockchain technology application pilot
Bitinfocharts data shows that Bitcoin Cash recorded the fewest transactions over the past 24 hours, also trailing Bitcoin SV. However, the statistic that gets the most attention is that BCH hash rate (2.059 EH/s) is less than 3% of BTC’s current hash rate (70.716 EH/s). That number is incredibly low for a major network, with Twitter user @WhalePanda claiming that a 51% attack on the BCH network could be possible by an amateur with only “pen and paper.” (AMBCrypto)

Wang Yongli: It is difficult for Libra to become a super-sovereign world currency
Wang Yongli, former vice president of the Bank of China, published an article "Libra is difficult to become a super-sovereign world currency" on the WeChat public account. Management is very difficult. Second, there are uncertainties in its attractiveness. The third is to face great financial regulatory risks. Fourth, it is difficult to get rid of legal tender and become a real super-sovereign world currency. To sum up, although Libra is linked to a basket of fiat currencies to a certain extent, it dilutes its token nature as a legal currency, but it is still basically a token of legal currency, and it is difficult to become a real super-sovereign world currency.
