The new service, “Binance Lite,” marks the first time the Malta-based exchange has managed to open a fiat gateway in Australia. While it will only support buying Bitcoin at launch, press materials say more digital currency and fiat options will be added in the future. “Binance Lite Australia further expands digital currency adoption by providing easier ways to buy [Bitcoin],” said Wei Zhou, Binance CFO. “Australia has been at the forefront of blockchain innovation, and we hope Binance Lite Australia can…

This Bluetooth speaker may look like an AI-monster from The Matrix but it sounds great

The GravaStar from Zoeao is the weirdest Bluetooth speaker I’ve reviewed, but that’s a good thing. It reminds me of a simpler time – the 1980s – when the characters on TV were often based on popular toys, and not the other way around. Plus, thanks to its Harmon Kardon guts, it sounds great. I don’t like novelty items. When Zoeao offered to let me test a review unit of its funky speaker I was a bit hesitant. I mean, look at it: I’m of the mind that, more often than not, when a company goes out of its way…

With only 51 days left until TNW Conference, things are ramping up here at the office. We had sweatpants day on Friday so we could get things done in ultimate comfort, and it would have been wonderful – but I forgot and showed up in jeans. I’m still annoyed with myself. Even though I missed out, I think it’s great that TNW strives to have a positive impact on our culture and happiness. I’m really lucky to enjoy a lot of perks here, to the point where I joke that I’m ruined for any other company. But we’re seeing a big shift…

A cryptocurrency fan has issued a warning: scammers are posing as the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to fool you into giving up $10,000 worth of Bitcoin, so take notice. A Reddit post titled “CIA got me fam” displayed proof of a new bogus email campaign designed to trick potential victims into thinking they are subject of an international criminal investigation. The ruse is their details have been flagged in a database related to a police operation set to arrest more than 2,000 individuals suspected of paedophilia across 27 countries. Legitimacy is supposedly derived from its masked email domain (@esxo.cia-gov.ga), as well as an…

The Division 2 review: Good, shallow fun

Hi, my name is Nino, and I’m a loot shooter addict. Give me a game that lets me shoot stuff in exchange for better weapons, and I’ll play it until the next one comes along. I stuck with Destiny before Bungie made it good, I neglected my social life when The Division 1 came out, I cocooned hard when Destiny 2 was released, and I’ve even played an embarrassing amount of the woefully disappointing Anthem. Loot shooters are the video game equivalent of pizza. I’ll take a bad one over most other dishes. It’s something about the instant gratification, the…
