The price of bitcoin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/02/bitcoin-rallies-14percent-to-its-highest-level-since-november-last-year.html" class="">surged more than 15 percent</a>&nbsp;on Tuesday and briefly crossed the $5,000 mark for the first time since mid-November. It’s still well below the all-time high it hit in December 2017 of near $20,000.



Other virtual currencies saw sudden price jumps, too: Ether and XRP both rose around 7 percent.



Before you start buying cryptocurrency, though, consider the advice of&nbsp;<a href="https://creativeplanning.com/peter-mallouk/" class="">Peter Mallouk</a>, certified financial planner and president of wealth management firm&nbsp;<a href="https://creativeplanning.com/" class="">Creative Planning</a>: “What we’re going to see, most likely, is, we’re going to see cryptocurrencies collapse.”



There are so many types of virtual currencies — like litecoin, ethereum, ripple and, of course, bitcoin — that “there’s no way that even a fraction of them can survive,” Mallouk, who is also author of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-5-mistakes-every-investor-makes-and-how-to-avoid-them-peter-mallouk/1119952320" class="">“The 5 Mistakes Every Investor Makes and How to Avoid Them,”</a>&nbsp;tells CNBC Make It.&nbsp;



“Is it possible that maybe one or two will work out in the future? Sure it is.” But, he says, “in the meantime,” if you buy cryptocurrency, “you get no income. It’s not a real investment. It’s speculation.”



Instead, invest in “things that are going to pay you to own them,” he says. “Own real estate, where you’re collecting rent. Own stocks, where you’re collecting dividends. Own bonds, where you’re collecting yield.”



As a general rule of thumb, “You don’t want to own something that’s not going to pay you,” says Mallouk.



If you’re excited by blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrency, there are ways to invest in that besides buying crypto, he adds: “There are companies that are very heavily investing in blockchain and you can buy those companies — companies like IBM and Accenture.”



And “companies like Walmart are using it to develop ways to run their inventory,” he adds. “That’s the way to play blockchain technology — not by trying to buy cryptocurrency.”



Keep in mind, he continues, that while “blockchain technology is real and you’ve got big companies like IBM and Accenture and others investing in it, that doesn’t mean that bitcoin is going to work out or ripple is going to work out,” says Mallouk. “The TV worked out, but everything that comes out of it, we don’t want to watch. Palm and Blackberry were fantastic, but Apple came in and took them out. Lycos and Excite were here before Google.”’’You don’t want to own something that’s not going to pay you.Peter Mallouk CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, AUTHOR.



He’s not the only expert who has warned against buying into digital currency.



In 2017, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said that bitcoin is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/06/cramer-bitcoin-like-monopoly-money-better-off-gambling-in-vegas.html" class="">a pure gamble</a>&nbsp;and “kind of like Monopoly money. Obviously, there’s people who use it. If you ever say anything bad about it, there’s like this bitcoin mafia that comes after you. But it is an oddity that has nothing to do with us” as investors.



“It’s just pure gambling at this point,” the market expert continued on<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/squawk-box-us/" class="">“Squawk Box.”</a>&nbsp;“I mean, if you want to gamble, go to Vegas. Vegas is fabulous.”



And JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said that bitcoin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/12/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-raises-flag-on-trading-revenue-sees-20-percent-fall-for-the-third-quarter.html" class="">“is a fraud”</a>&nbsp;at the Delivering Alpha conference presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor in 2017. “It’s just not a real thing, eventually it will be closed.”



He added, at a separate conference organized by Barclay, “It’s worse than tulip bulbs. It won’t end well.”

Don’t buy bitcoin, warns wealth manager: We’re likely ‘going to see cryptocurrencies collapse’

<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/kate-rooney/ ">By Kate Rooney </a>



Billionaire investor <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/warren-buffett/">Warren Buffett</a> is doubling down on his bitcoin criticism. 



&#8220;Bitcoin has no unique value at all,&#8221; Buffett told CNBC&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/becky-quick/">Becky Quick</a>&nbsp;in a &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/squawk-box-us/">Squawk Box</a>&#8221; interview Monday. &#8220;It is a delusion, basically.&#8221;



The Berkshire Hathaway CEO said he is sympathetic to optimists who bought the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency in hopes that &#8220;it would change their lives.&#8221;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/?symbol=BTC%3D">Bitcoin</a>&nbsp;has lost more than 80 percent of its value since reaching a high near $20,000 at the end of 2017. The cryptocurrency was trading near $3,781 on Monday, according to CoinDesk.



&#8220;It attracts charlatans,&#8221; Buffett said. &#8220;If you do something phony by going out and selling yo-yos or something, there&#8217;s no money in it — but when you get into Wall Street, there&#8217;s huge money.&#8221;



Buffett has been a long-time critic of cryptocurrency. He called bitcoin &#8220;probably rat poison squared,&#8221; ahead of the 2018 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting. A &#8220;mirage,&#8221; &#8220;not a currency,&#8221; and &#8220;tulips&#8221; are among the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/27/warren-buffett-has-been-ragging-on-bitcoin-since-2013.html">descriptors</a>&nbsp;Buffett has used for bitcoin, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://buffett.cnbc.com/">CNBC&#8217;s Warren Buffett Archive</a>.



In the interview Monday, he did point to potential in bitcoin&#8217;s &#8220;important&#8221; underlying technology blockchain but said its success does not depend on cryptocurrency.



Buffett is not alone in his skepticism. Business leaders including Bill Gates, economists Nouriel Roubini and Robert Shiller, and fund managers Ray Dalio and Howard Marks are among those who have questioned bitcoin&#8217;s legitimacy. J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was also a vocal critic of bitcoin. Yet earlier this month, J.P. Morgan became the first major bank to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/13/jp-morgan-is-rolling-out-the-first-us-bank-backed-cryptocurrency-to-transform-payments--.html">launch</a> its own proprietary cryptocurrency for cross-border payments.

Why billionaire Warren Buffett says bitcoin is a ‘delusion’ and ‘attracts charlatans’

TORONTO (Reuters) &#8211; About C$180 million ($137.21 million) in cryptocurrencies have been frozen in the user accounts of Canadian digital platform Quadriga after the founder, the only person with the password to gain access, died suddenly in December. 



Gerald Cotten died aged 30 from complications with Crohn’s disease while volunteering at an orphanage in India, according to the Facebook page of Quadriga CX, which announced his death on Jan. 14. 



The platform, which allows the trading of Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum, filed for creditor protection in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court last week.



Quadriga has 363,000 registered users and owes a total of C$250 million to 115,000 affected users, according to an affidavit filed by Cotten’s widow Jennifer Robertson on behalf of the company.



Robertson said in the affidavit that Cotten’s main computer contained a&nbsp;“cold wallet”&nbsp;of cryptocurrencies, which is only accessible physically and not online, and his death left “in excess of C$180 million of coins in cold storage.”



Robertson said she was&nbsp;not involved in Cotten’s business while he was alive and did not know the password or recovery key.



“Despite repeated and diligent searches, I have not been able to find them written down anywhere,” she said.



Robertson said that she has consulted an expert who has had “limited success in recovering a few coins and some information” from Cotten’s other computer and cell phones, but the majority remains untouched on his main computer.



Quadriga’s troubles highlight the unique challenges of cryptocurrencies, Dean Skurka, vice president of rival platform Bitbuy.ca, said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.



“This really highlights the need for the government to take action and regulate cryptocurrency exchanges,” Skurka said.



Robertson said in her affidavit she has received online threats and&nbsp;“slanderous comments”, including questions about the nature of Cotten’s&nbsp;death, and whether he is really dead.

Kenya has distinguished itself as a hotbed of technological innovation and creativity. The challenge now is how to consolidate these gains and leap forward as a country– to enhance the quality of life for all.
Cloud computing in layman’s terms
‘Cloud’ is a service you use every day, without even realising it. Whether with your mobile apps, email service (Gmail, Mozilla, Outlook) Facebook, online shopping services such as eBay/ Amazon- these are all services based in the cloud. Cloud computing is a general term associated with the delivery of services through public networks such as the Internet or private networks like corporate intranets.
Cloud computing enables companies to consume IT resources – Hardware, Software and Storage &#8211; as a utility &#8212; just like electricity &#8212; rather than having to build and maintain computing infrastructures in house.
With cloud computing, projects that took years to implement and action now take a matter of weeks or months, with predictable budgets. In such a context, more development and testing can happen at a lower cost and its effects can be seen on technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Machine Learning, Internet Of Things, Blockchain, Bitcoin and others.
Communities stand to benefit from the endless new services that can be launched, from financial services, healthcare and even manufacturing. We have seen manufacturers introduce products faster and cheaper than ever before, giving them the freedom to pursue real change and innovation across the entire supply chain.
Industries that are heavily regulated because of security concerns or full data access requirements should turn to unique models that combine the benefits of having data on servers in an on-premise data centre, with those of a pay-as-you-go model with a technology provider maintaining it all.
By having the ability to design their own map to cloud success, companies have almost limitless paths and roadways that they can draw – and reshape – to help drive their business growth.
&nbsp;
For Africa, by Africans
Kenya can lead Africa forward, taking the next step onward becomes critical. How can we leverage these ingredients of technological innovation to drive inclusive development for all?
The solution for Africa’s challenges will come from within Africa. Technology is the same all over the world; the difference lies in building solutions that answer and address local socio-economic challenges.
Presently, <a href="http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats1.htm">Kenya</a> is the clear leader in Africa when it comes to internet and mobile penetration, which stood at 89.4% in June 2017, with the next three lagging further behind: Morocco (58%), South Africa (56%) and Nigeria (54%). The continental average is 31.2%
The innovation ecosystem in Kenya is flourishing, drawing global interest. The most famous being mobile payment which sprouted from the need for efficient funds transfer by those working in urban areas to their kin upcountry. While the rest of the world is struggling to make mobile payments work for them, Kenya is already a global example. There is also significant goodwill from government as well as private sector players; business leaders are always looking for technology that gives them an edge in their industries. Individually, Kenyans are generally fast adopters of new technology and the youthful population is creative and not afraid of innovating.
There are a number of global innovations that have spread to Africa and are significantly disrupting lives. The challenge lies in taking this further. For instance, the impact of Uber in facilitating transportation in many African cities is massive; however, we need to consider how to make the concept work in rural areas too – which also have their unique transport challenges.
Technologies such as cloud computing have made this possible; by reducing the cost of access, we have the ability to scale solutions to meet these challenges and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Africa can play a strong role in the fourth industrial revolution and create heavy wealth out of it. This is only possible if technological innovations are used to address social challenges and the untouched market potential.
Cloud-led innovation
Cloud computing leads to faster development and quicker learning, therefore accelerates innovation as it drastically removes costly overheads when it comes to maintenance and updates, while localisation of technology to suit the circumstances on the ground also helps with data security and regulatory compliance.
The greatest value of technology is realised when it is applied across the value chain, leading to massive impact on people.
The backbone of many economies in Africa is the agricultural sector; deployment of artificial intelligence and robotics can help multiply agricultural production and productivity, and deliver more value to the farmer, the rest of the value chain, and the economy as a whole.
Similarly, in the healthcare sector, artificial intelligence and robotics can help enhance access to medical facilities, even for communities living in the hinterland. Using technology, people seeking medical attention do not necessarily have to travel to get to larger, better equipped facilities.
The same applies to the control of our finances with the urgent need for less human intervention if we want to collect more taxes and require more revenue to be redistributed with minimum loss.
In Kenya, such is easily achievable as the fintech and telco digitalisation speed is surely among the fastest on the continent.
Africa has a unique opportunity enabled by cloud technology; focus should be on using it in a manner that delivers maximum developmental impact. The secret is in unleashing the capacity to develop and educate with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. The onus is on Africans to make sure the best available platform and tools in the world are used to secure and get the most out of local data usage. Data tomorrow is what oil is today and the battle is on who will control it.

Bitcoin will bounce back despite volatile markets – Expert

By SARS and CNBC Africa
South Africans coining it from bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will now have to pay tax the South African Revenue Service (SARS) revealed on Friday.
In an emailed statement SARS said normal income tax rules will apply to cryptocurrencies and it expects affected taxpayers to declare cryptocurrency gains or losses as part of their taxable income.
[bc_video video_id=&#8221;5765555908001&#8243; account_id=&#8221;1571595826001&#8243; player_id=&#8221;962b8774-5f97-47fd-81a6-837da7aecf49&#8243; embed=&#8221;in-page&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;56%&#8221; autoplay=&#8221;&#8221; min_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;640px&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; height=&#8221;100%&#8221;]
The onus is on taxpayers to declare all cryptocurrency-related taxable income in the tax year in which it is received or accrued.  Failure to do so could result in interest and penalties.
Taxpayers who are uncertain about specific transactions involving cryptocurrencies may seek guidance from SARS through channels such as Binding Private Rulings (depending on the nature of the transaction).
Want to learn more about cryptocurrencies? Watch <a href="http://cnbc.africa/category/tv-shows/crypto-trader/">#CryptoTrader</a>
Increased attentiveness and speculation regarding the future of cryptocurrencies has prompted calls for SARS to provide direction as to how cryptocurrencies should be treated for tax purposes. However, as indicated in this media statement, there is an existing tax framework that can guide SARS and affected taxpayers on the tax implications of cryptocurrencies, making a separate Interpretation Note unnecessary for now.
Cryptocurrency (typified by Bitcoin) is an internet-based digital currency that exists almost wholly in the virtual realm. A growing number of proponents support its use as an alternative currency that can pay for goods and services much like conventional currencies.
In South Africa, the word “currency” is not defined in the Income Tax Act (the Act).  Cryptocurrencies are neither official South African tender nor widely used and accepted in South Africa as a medium of payment or exchange. As such, cryptocurrencies are not regarded by SARS as a currency for income tax purposes or Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Instead, cryptocurrencies are regarded by SARS as assets of an intangible nature.
Whilst not constituting cash, cryptocurrencies can be valued to ascertain an amount received or accrued as envisaged in the definition of “gross income” in the Act.
Following normal income tax rules, income received or accrued from cryptocurrency transactions can be taxed on revenue account under “gross income”. Alternatively such gains may be regarded as capital in nature, as spelt out in the Eighth Schedule to the Act for taxation under the CGT paradigm.
Determination of whether an accrual or receipt is revenue or capital in nature is tested under existing jurisprudence (of which there is no shortage).
Taxpayers are also entitled to claim expenses associated with cryptocurrency accruals or receipts, provided such expenditure is incurred in the production of the taxpayer’s income and for purposes of trade.
Base cost adjustments can also be made if falling within the CGT paradigm.
Gains or losses in relation to cryptocurrencies can broadly be categorised with reference to three types of scenarios, each of which potentially gives rise to distinct tax consequences:
<ul>
<li>A cryptocurrency can be acquired through so called “mining”. Mining is conducted by the verification of transactions in a computer-generated public ledger, achieved through the solving of complex computer algorithms. By verifying these transactions the “miner” is rewarded with ownership of new coins which become part of the networked ledger.</li>
</ul>
This gives rise to an immediate accrual or receipt on successful mining of the cryptocurrency. This means that until the newly acquired cryptocurrency is sold or exchanged for cash, it is held as trading stock which can subsequently be realized  through either a normal cash transaction (as described in (ii) or a barter transaction as described in (iii) below.
<ul>
<li>Investors can exchange local currency for a cryptocurrency (or vice versa) by using cryptocurrency exchanges, which are essentially markets for cryptocurrencies, or through private transactions.</li>
<li>Goods or services can be exchanged for cryptocurrencies. This transaction is regarded as a barter transaction. Therefore the normal barter transaction rules apply.</li>
</ul>
Value-Added Tax (VAT)
The 2018 annual budget review indicates that the VAT treatment of cryptocurrencies will be reviewed. Pending policy clarity in this regard, SARS will not require VAT registration as a vendor for purposes of the supply of cryptocurrencies.

Global equity bears marched into Thursday’s trading session with a mission to sow chaos across stock markets, as fears mount over a potential global trade war.

Asian stocks were mostly depressed during early trading thanks to risk aversion, and this caution could trickle down into the European markets. With Wall Street pummelled by rising fears of U.S protectionism on Wednesday, U.S stocks are at risk of extending losses this afternoon if the negative sentiment prevails. Risk aversion could become a dominant market theme moving forward, as concerns intensify over escalating trade tensions negatively impacting global growth.
Sterling supported by Dollar weakness…
The story around Sterling’s appreciation this week continues to revolve around a weakening U.S Dollar.
With investor appetite for the British Pound limited amid Brexit uncertainty, bulls are finding it increasingly difficult to keep prices buoyed. While Dollar weakness has the ability to support the GBPUSD in the near term, price action suggests some fatigue is already starting to take place, with bears lingering in the vicinity. Taking a look at the technical picture, Sterling’s appreciation has been halted on two occasions this week by the stubborn gatekeeper known as 1.4000.  Sustained weakness below this resistance level could invite a decline back towards 1.3850. Alternatively, a breakout above 1.4000 could trigger an incline towards 1.4050 and 1.4120, respectively.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-301850 size-full" src="http://cnbc.africa/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Graph-1_FXTM.png" alt="" width="443" height="362" />
Commodity spotlight – WTI Oil 
WTI Crude held steady on Thursday morning, after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported on Wednesday that gasoline supply dropped thanks to demand jumping to a seven-month high.
While recent reports of rising demand could offer the oil price some support in the short term, soaring production from U.S Shale is likely to present many headwinds down the road. With OPEC warning that Trump’s trade policies could negatively impact oil demand, the outlook for WTI Crude remains tilted to the downside. The unsavoury combination of surging U.S Shale oil production and the threat of demand softening amid a potential trade war could spell trouble for OPEC.
From a technical standpoint, WTI Crude remains under pressure on the daily charts below $62.00. Repeated weakness below the $62.00 resistance level could open a path back towards $60.00.
Bitcoin sinks below $8,000 
Bitcoin simply failed to shield itself against an onslaught of negativity during Wednesday’s trading session, with prices eventually sinking below $8,000 on Thursday morning.
In a move that eroded investor appetite towards Bitcoin, Google announced that it will ban online advertisements promoting cryptocurrencies. The downside was fuelled by the International Monetary Fund who called for a global crackdown on cryptocurrencies. With members of Congress delivering the knockout blow on Wednesday amid scepticism around digital currency, the outlook for Bitcoin is looking increasingly gloomy.
Focusing purely on the technical picture, Bitcoin is bearish on the daily charts with $10,000 acting a solid psychological resistance level. Sustained weakness below $8,000 could open a path back towards $7,000 and $6,000, respectively.
