it's winter sports competition. bit coin plungers on world markets down more than twenty percent recovering a little many still clinging to their faith in the cryptocurrency including a cafe in singapore where coin is king. and international takeover tussle in the skies brazil wools out relinquishing government control over embrace as boeing guys the aircraft maker. and germany's renowned for its monsters of traditional trades but with the labor force the future of the manual skilled work could be a little a bit. i've been physical and let's do business the big roller coaster ride continues after nearing twenty thousand dollars last week and the cryptocurrency has finished the week below twelve thousand and some analysts call it

a reality check in the asian financial hub of singapore experts don't like what they see the on the nation's highest fiscal authority is warning investors to stay away from bitcoin but not everyone is listening. it's almost an affront just a block away from singapore. an opponent of digital money a cafe has opened to our customers pay with crypto currency. we just want to make sure that people understand that the currencies are going to stay i don't think there's a question the way technology. development repping. governments maybe have a little bit of an issue too to follow through. so far there haven't been any problems in the cafe people there don't just pay for drinks and snacks with bitcoin

that can also use the cafe's own currency known as the do cut that's also the name of the cafe still experts warn that crypto currencies are very volatile bitcoin for example is down sharply this week that's a problem for investors experts see the trend soon coming to an end. the second one . we don't know more progress with connecting it with the retail world so if you can't speak crippler currencies or if you can't redeem them for cash if you can't get rid of them back as cash. people are going to lose interest and when that happens the heat will come out of the market and people will move on to do all the things and that's when we'll see that crash come but the owners of the dukakis cafe are not so sure about that on the contrary they want to expand opening cafes hotels and travel agencies were only digital money is accepted. and let's get the view

from new york where yes quarter is standing by for us yes how can anyone trust in something so volatile. you know those wyatt wild swings certainly show that bitcoins and other crypto currencies are still highly speculative and by the way it's not been the first time that we saw such a why of the why we had other times this year and because also over the course of a couple of days dropped to thirty percent plus but we also shouldn't forget that a lot of those investors are rather young they do not have much experience and their are driven by their n.t.o. as a enters and when it goes up but now we also saw some panic sells now that the tide has shifted for not ok well let's bring in the chart because over the past two months we've seen one hundred eighty five percent we've also seen a forty percent fall in just

a week as we can see there tell me is it just the beginning is is that is that why it's so much volatility or are we going to see big point at some stage catch on and we're all going to be quite envious of the investors who got in so early. there will be a winner so there will be losers and one question nobody can really answers will bitcoins be either so why vors or not because there are also other crypto currencies around and there will be new ones in the future if you compare it to the dot com area for example a lot of those companies big then it went bust but other companies look at alphabet or amazon for example today they're trading much higher than they did about seventeen years ago exactly remember all of those search engines now the biggest critics are the banks and central banks but of course they're left out of the equation aren't they. sure i mean they have an interest because

bitcoins to a certain degree are a competition to their core business still there is this big question for the future of. crypto currency is what the governments and regulators do all week long there has been some speculation that maybe the government in china or south korea might block crypto currencies or also that the as you see here in the u.s. might have a closer look at bitcoins but we always see those rumors and so far nothing has happened but for the future of cryptocurrency is what regulators will be doing is very crucial thank you very much for the update against co today for us in new york . a south korean cortez convicted the ninety five year old founder of conglomerate lata and his son on corruption charges the court sentence found it while cold to four years in prison but he will avoid jail due to his age his son was handed a twenty month suspended sentence the two men and three other family members
