SEC Files Emergency Action Against Organizer of ‘Fraudulent’ $15 Million ICO
https://www.coindesk.com/sec-files-emergency-action-against-organizer-of-fraudulent-15-million-ico

The SEC is seeking to freeze the assets of Reggie Middleton, organizer of the $14.8 million Veritaseum (VERI) ICO.

"Bitcoin is the new gold," they said.

The uncertainty has returned. Tensions between the U.S. and China have gone beyond trade and escalated into the Cold War.

Recently, the demand for defensive assets has started again. Gold continues to renew its highs, and probably the bitcoin won't catch up with it soon enough. So far, not many people recognize BTC as a protective asset in times of uncertainty.

Also, over the past year, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold was 0.496. For the previous three months, according to Bloomberg's analysis, this indicator has grown to 0.827. (A correlation coefficient of 1 indicates that the assets move equally, and minus of 1 means that they move in exactly opposite directions).
