Dis news na centered on Roger Ver, one big investor wey connect to main crypto projects, and say im do big Bitcoin tax evasion. E get plenty kasala for court and people just dey argue about am. Even if dis matter fit make people fear small say government go tight up on crypto or say big crypto people fit dey for trouble, e no really affect any particular coin fundamental. Na just big talk about how dem go regulate crypto and Wetin crypto people believe for inside di industry. Because di matter too deep and nobody don seize any assets or do anything direct for market, e mean say e no go really affect di price of XRP or BTC. Before before, similar cases no too get effect on how much people dey trade or di price, instead e just ginger more talk about regulation and wetin investors feel, no be say e go cause big wahala for market.
