Caracas Air, Venezuela's leading aviation academy, has started accepting Bitcoin, according to a Twitter announcement made by CEO Oliver Laufer.

Those who opt for the new payment method will also get discounts.

Laufer, a Miami Dade College graduate, started the company with his brother in 2015. 12 years ago, they sold everything they had to buy a Cessna 172 Skyhawk plane and start a flight school.   
   
Presently, Caracas Air has around 900 students, becoming one of the fastest-growing aviation academies in Latin America.source

After an action-packed weekend, the dust is settling.  Opinions vary; news and rumors are abound. The data seems to suggest turbulent times ahead. According to some exchange’s data sets, Bitcoin pierced the Ichimoku Cloud. What does this mean?

To make sure we’re getting everything straight, let’s recapitulate.


Weekend Of Wonders In Bitcoin
The Bitcoin network’s hash rate fell by half following a series of blackouts in China. Which should make us think about centralization. Also in the Asian market, a single wallet sold 8K BTC. Plus, fear took over when an anonymous account said that the U.S. Department of the Treasury was about “To charge several financial institutions for money laundering using cryptocurrencies.” This, of course, didn’t happen.

On Sunday, a drastic fall saw Bitcoin going from $60K to $51K. That generated liquidations worth over $10 billion in futures positions, a new record that almost doubles the previous one. And, about 90% of those, were forced liquidations on long positions.source

Stablecoin issuer Tether recently surprised critics. Accounting company Moore Cayman, part of the Moore Global accountancy network, attested that Tether had enough assets to back its liabilities.

Tether fans were quick to celebrate the attestation report on social media while critics cast doubt on it. 

As well versed as the cryptocurrency community is in abstruse matters of confirmation times and chain forks, it is not as well acquainted with the obscurities of the accounting profession. To understand how an attestation brings value to a stablecoin, we need to delve a bit into the accounting.source

Goldman Sachs, one of the biggest US banks and former bitcoin critique, has added the primary cryptocurrency to its year-to-date asset returns report. Interestingly, BTC occupies the first spot with over 100% early returns as the next assets are far behind.source

A flurry of optimistic updates hitting the Bitcoin market this Monday has prompted one analyst to see a speedier price rally towards $100,000.

Dr. Jeff Rose, the founder/CIO of Vailshire Capital Management, envisioned the flagship cryptocurrency at the six-digit valuation. At the core of his bullish analogy was a classic technical pattern brewing up on the BTC/USD daily chart. Nonetheless, Dr. Ross’s tweet arrived on the heels of other positive fundamental updates.source

According to an announcement made by Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein, TIME magazine has partnered with the leading cryptocurrency asset manager to release a video series centered around cryptocurrencies.

As part of the deal, the iconic publication has agreed to get paid in Bitcoin and hold the largest cryptocurrency on its balance sheet.

Last month, TIME published a job posting for a new chief financial officer (CFO) that requires "comfort" with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.   

It also started selling its most famous covers as non-fungible tokens in March. As reported by no link shorteningday, one of them ("The Computer in Society") was purchased by Tron CEO Justin Sun for 117 ETH.source
