Visa CEO: Bitcoin is Not a Payment System: Visa, the world’s largest credit card company, is widely regarded as being hostile to Bitcoin. It would seem intuitive that a traditional financial provider should look unkindly on anything that threatens its hegemony. Publicly, though, the company has had very little to say about Bitcoin, preferring to focus on matters within its own domain. In a CNBC interview on Wednesday, the corporation’s CEO broke his silence, opining – predictably – that Bitcoin is not a payments system.
Legacy Finance Meets Future Money
In an interview on Wednesday, recorded at New York’s National Retail Federation conference the previous day, Kelly was pressed for his thoughts on Bitcoin. “I don’t view it as payment system player,” said the CEO. “We at Visa won’t process transactions that are cryptocurrency-based. We will only process fiat currency-based transactions.”

Ternyata Alibaba China dengan Diam-diam Luncurkan Platform Pertambangan Kriptocurrency
China’s Alibaba Quietly Launches Cryptocurrency Mining Platform: Unconfirmed Local Report: Chinese e-commerce and tech conglomerate Alibaba has quietly launched a cryptocurrency mining platform, according to an unconfirmed local media report.
According to Tencent News, Alibaba registered the platform, which is called “P2P Nodes,” on Oct. 10, 2017 with the relevant local authorities in Nanjing.
“Alibaba has recently launched a virtual currency mining platform “P2P node”, from the terms of the service agreement terms platform, the main operating platform is Alibaba East China Ltd.. It is reported that the company on October 10, 2017 has been completed registration, registered in Nanjing,” the report reads, according to a very rough translation.
It is not clear from the report whether the platform has officially begun registering users.
The news was first brought to the attention of Western audiences by cnLedger, who said that, according to its translation of the report, sources say that Alibaba may eventually incorporate the mining operation into its e-commerce platform.
A separate Tencent report indicates that the operation will be a “third-party” platform, presumably meaning that it will function as a cloud mining service that allows users to rent hashpower from the company.
The report said that Alibaba is “very cautious” about the project and that while users can withdraw cash using Alipay, they are currently unable to directly withdraw the coins that they mine, according to the terms of service.
If the report is accurate, it represents an about-face for Alibaba, whose founder, Jack Ma, indicated last month that the company was not going to engage with cryptocurrency.
“I don’t think we are ready for that,” he said, adding that the company would focus its efforts on fiat-based fintech innovations such as Alipay. “Bitcoin [is] not for me.”
The timing of the report is also significant, given that China’s central bank has lately sought to tighten the noose on the domestic cryptocurrency industry.
Earlier this month, regulators began pressuring local governments and utility providers to stop giving incentives to cryptocurrency mining operations, a policy that officials hope will make China less attractive to this burgeoning industry.
CCN also reported that central bank officials are planning to block domestic access to cryptocurrency trading platforms that are located off the mainland, widening its crackdown on centralized trading that began last year when regulators ordered the shutdown of local exchanges.

jangkrik genggong_Mask Dance (Lengger)_Yekti Mardi Budaya
Traditional dance Ndolalak Jangkrik Indah Chairman Mr. Muhsin from Sabrangkidul Krajan Jangkrikan Kepil Wonosobo Central Java Indonesia. Dolalak is a typical art from Purworejo District. This dance is a relic in the Dutch colonial era. Dolalak origin is from notes Do and La because the dance is accompanied by only a two-tone instrument using a pair of Kenong.
History The Islamic da'wah performed by sunan Kali Jaga using the Wayang Kulit and Jathilan art medium spread throughout the land of Yogyakarta and Central Java. Sunan Kali Jaga before entering Islam is a robber with the name Ki warok Luko Joyo who is still one class of college with Ki warok Suryo nature. From here Sunan Kali Jaga gain knowledge about art such as Wayang beber which is modified into Wayang kulit. Jathilan in Purworejo took the heart of all elements of society since the era of guard sunan that tells the struggle Bantarangin troops in the presence Lodaya empire. In the Dutch era of 1900s, a dance arose from jathilan which is more focused on the more erotic movement commonly referred to as jathil Obyok in the ancestral land of jathilan, Ponorogo. The story of Dolalak is not much different from the dance story of Remo and Reog Kendang from East Java which tells the journey of a former player Gemblak Jathilan who is on Reog who uses a distinctive clothing warok but with an interesting color.
