From the impact of Bitcoin and crypto on the G20 to a CoinMarketCap controversy over XRP, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of blockchain.
Bitcoin
The co-founder of Hong Kong-based crypto exchange BTCC says Bitcoin is slowly chipping away at the monopoly of government-backed fiat currency.
In a new tweet about the latest G20 meeting of world finance leaders, Bobby Lee says he believes the Bitcoin and crypto revolution is now irreversible.
I wonder if @G20org World Leaders actually realize that they DO face a REAL Common Enemy now? 🤔
With #Bitcoin soon turning 10, national gov’ts are SLOWLY but SURELY losing their #monopoly & ability to issue (#fiat) money. It’s slow at first but this #revolution is irreversible! pic.twitter.com/Z62gJFouYo

Ripple and XRP
CoinMarketCap is responding to members of the XRP community who say the market data site is incorrectly calculating the market cap of XRP.
Ripple’s own chief market strategist agrees with those who say CoinMarketCap should include the 55 billion XRP owned by Ripple to be part of the market cap.
Please see XRP's distributed amount: https://t.co/JJHj4Ra1ol We define Circulating Supply as the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands.
