Over 10,000 investors, mainly from Harare and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chitungwiza/">Chitungwiza</a>, have suffered significant losses after a Bitcoin investment scheme abruptly closed down without warning. The scheme, allegedly run by Phineas Chakanyuka, promised investors profits of 35% every two weeks on their initial deposits of between US$100 and US$300 000, according to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/technology/article/200018777/faudster-gets-millions-from-bitcoin-investors">NewsDay</a>. However, investigations revealed that investors could earn Bitcoins for free through Bitcoin faucets, such as playing games or completing online tasks.
Chakanyuka closed all his offices and could not be reached for comment. In a message sent to Bitcoin Interchange WhatsApp groups, Chakanyuka claimed that the system upgrade was successful and operations would resume soon. The message read in part:
<blockquote>
Our most valued clients.
We are pleased to announce that we are still progressing very well. Our system upgrade was completed successfully. We are continuing to work tirelessly to resume operations. We had indicated that we will open on November 7 to November 14. However, there are still a few requirements that we are yet to complete on our side with our broker, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and the police.
Thank you for your continued patience in our very last phase towards official opening next year. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted. Bitcoin Interchange is here to stay. Please note that your funds are available and safe. Once we get the green light we will pay everyone.
</blockquote>
Peter Munyai, one of the investors, sold his house to invest in the scheme and now finds himself in a stressful situation. He told NewsDay:
<blockquote>
I am stressed. I sold my house and invested and now this guy is nowhere to be found. We are organising ourselves so that we make an official police report. Other disgruntled investors have already reported him to the police. 
</blockquote>
The police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, stated that they have not yet received a report from the aggrieved parties. He said:
<blockquote>
I haven’t received such a report at the moment. I will definitely give you details as soon as I get that information.
</blockquote>
<h3>What is Bitcoin?</h3>
Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency invented in 2008 and released as open-source software in 2009. It is stored in digital wallets and can be sent to other people. Transactions are recorded in a public list called the blockchain. Bitcoin experts say that the reward for mining Bitcoins will continue to halve every four years until the final bitcoin is mined, which is predicted to be around the year 2140.
This means experts predict it will take approximately 120 years, until the year 2140, for all the bitcoins to be mined. Currently, new bitcoins are created through a process called mining, where powerful computers solve complex mathematical problems. As a reward for their computational efforts, miners receive newly minted bitcoins. However, the reward for mining is designed to decrease over time. This reduction in the reward is programmed into the Bitcoin protocol and occurs approximately every four years through a process known as the “halving.”
Eventually, after numerous halvings, the reward will become so small that no new bitcoins will be created. At that point, all 21 million bitcoins that can ever exist will have been mined, and the system will rely solely on transaction fees to incentivise miners to validate and secure the network. The estimated year 2140 is when experts believe this final Bitcoin will be mined, marking the completion of the Bitcoin mining process.

Over 10,000 Investors Suffer Losses As Bitcoin Scheme Closes Down Without Warning

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)</a> has begun crafting a policy framework to guide operations of financial technology (fintech) enterprises, with crypto-currency companies having to be vetted through the regulatory sandbox.
This was said by RBZ deputy director financial markets and national payment systems, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Josephat_Mutepfa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Josephat Mutepfa</a> while speaking during a Sound Prosperity Economic Forum in Bulawayo on Friday. Said Mutepfa:
<blockquote>We have already started to come up with a fintech framework because in regulation everything should be well structured. The framework, which is a regulatory sandbox, will be assessing the crypto-currency companies as to how they are going to operate.
Once you enter the sandbox you either exist as a bonafide product to enter the market or you are guided to say that you need to partner a bank, a mobile money platform or your product needs to be licensed like a microfinance company.
The sandbox will be an experimenting zone. Once the sandbox is there, there will be an application criterion, which will also act in the same capacity as the sandbox.</blockquote>
Recently, Zimbabwe has experienced a growth of fintech in several areas, especially in insurance, payments and trading, including the revolution in cryptocurrency.
However, the use of cryptocurrencies is associated with huge risks and the central bank has been wary of embracing them.

RBZ To Regulate Crypto-currency Trading

WhatsApp is planning some big changes to what is now the world’s most popular app. The new features coming to WhatsApp include the following:
<h3>Cryptocurrency payments inside WhatsApp</h3>
While cryptocurrencies are not mainstream yet, with many people wondering how exactly they work, people may start seeing them inside WhatsApp. Reports indicate that the launch was supposed to happen in the first half of 2019 and that it was going to start in India where WhatsApp has over 200 million users.
The main use of the cryptocurrency transactions in WhatsApp will mainly cover remittances.

<h3>Adverts</h3>
A few weeks ago the company announced that adverts will start showing in the WhatsApp app. The adverts will be part of the status page and will be called Stories Ads. A typical way it will work is that while swiping the status messages, one of the statuses can be an advert.
This change is scheduled to come in 2020 though.
<h3></h3>
<h3>Posting to Facebook from WhatsApp</h3>
In the future, WhatsApp plans to make it possible to share a WhatsApp status to Facebook. This will work for users that also have the Facebook app on their phone.

Adverts and Cryptocurrency Payments Coming To WhatsApp

Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mangudya has claimed that Zimbabwe’s real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system or electronic money is a form of cryptocurrency. The governor who recently banned trading in cryptocurrencies and shut down Zimbabwe’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Golix,  told Bloomberg Television that cryptocurrencies were not new to Zimbabwe and that the central bank was working on understanding blockchain as well. Mangudya who is part of the delegation which travelled with President Emmerson Mnangagwa to New York, United States for the United Nations General Assembly was asked,
“What role do you think the cryptocurrency could have at the central bank?” to which he replied:
<blockquote>Ah! I’m on record of saying that Zimbabwe is not new to cryptocurrencies. Basically, it’s an electronic dollar… electronic money. Our RTGS’ that we have got in Zimbabwe are basically electronic money, which is akin or similar to cryptocurrencies. So we are only using those in terms of the nature but otherwise… we are studying them as the central bank, the blockchain, the big data…through our fintec group.</blockquote>
