In berlin thanks for joining me the bitcoin volatility continues the cryptocurrency rebounding to ten and a half thousand dollars after u. S. Negotiators approved the listing of Bitcoin Futures the price had hit a record high of almost eleven and a half thousand dollars this week but it since plunged and shot back up again the volatility is from the warnings of a crash from prominent investors but others say the price still could go way higher. When our financial correspondent so fishmans he joins us now from new york sophie u. S. Regulators approving the listing of Bitcoin Futures what does this mean for the cryptocurrency trading game. It means more potential investors and more money helena you could say that now even watchdogs have decided to open bitcoin from main street and this could not only increase the price of with corn and thus the value of an investment but also provide the asset with more stability but corn supporters are hoping that with the major the riverdance exchanges funds from Institutional Investors will flow into the cryptocurrency and this indeed could add more stability to the volatile asset but we also hear a lot of very skeptical voices these days warning investors to stay worry the f. C. C. Has already rejected a bit corny e. T. F. Proposal in part because of the underlying assets volatility so it is not a clear case for big con yet or so if you would its friday so wrap up the trading week for us. This was a special week and investors witness a spectacular scary rise and fall of the markets on the last day of november and on the first day of december we had the senate discussing the tax reform basically all week with a more or less successful output when you hit the markets that republican senator john mccain was going to back the tax reform the dow rallied three hundred points to a new record high only to lose three hundred fifty points in intraday trading on friday and when investors were confronted with the former National Security advisor Michael Flynn pleading guilty of lying to the f. B. I. And thus creating a potentially huge problem put on top so if you st thank you now property prices have been rising for years in many cities and many residents being driven out of their homes so we took a look at the situation right here in berlin. Every kind of late and every time and if youre paying rent youre at risk. If you can theres no right that guarantees everyone can live in city centers. And that of course the city must be there for those who live and work in it otherwise itll stop being a city but so is i. Who does the city belong to and who can afford to live in it a common topic among berliners in the working class quite spec district many residents live on modest incomes so theyre upset about the current push towards modernization which could end up doubling their rents but thats the plan for real estate firms like phoenix play house the tenants so they can re rent flats or sell them. The companies dont like to be named and shamed the shareholders dont like it. The government and the senate who are doing nothing about this need our votes and we need to shout more to them about doing something about it to the mix. In the city. When investors are lured by internet ads if you realize that others are losing their homes and its not only the real estate thats being dressed up the publication of the Paradise Papers reveal that phoenix prey had concealed rental income to the tune of millions of euros many berlin homes are registered to subsidiaries on jersey a tax haven. In the past few years berlin real estate prices have risen steadily people from around the world want to invest here the Austrian Company asimo are gay started buying up houses and commercial properties in the city more than ten years ago this is even though it still quote unquote cheap compared to other metropolitan cities and we forecast that berlin will make this leap it is so if you believe it will happen and you compare it to other major cities then youll see theres still a long way to go. For urban ologists this conflict between investors and renters is detrimental to cities in the long term thats busy and thats the things that have yet but what were seeing is that these exploitative strategies are diametrically opposed to the citys interests and needs and that the solution is relatively simple limit those market forces. Some say cities should belong to everyone because houses arent just investments theyre peoples homes. Now for a look at another shady aspect of living the share economy is meant to make us all feel so much better about ourselves sharing what spaces cause bicycles all with the help of a simple ah the companys issue airing less about caring and more about getting all the data weve taken in this next report. Is it your telephone number. Yes. Is this your profile picture yes. All this information can be seen on the internet. Customer data made publicly accessible this is bike sharing we asked a volunteer dyment to test rental for registration by smartphone is quick and easy and it just one euro for thirty minutes its a bargain but what dammit and other customers dont know is that their data is not secured its available online.

Is this why youve just been oh my god yes what do you think of that. In fact its terrible after all im paying them to use the bike and id expect my data to be safe. Oh by excess the security gap has been fixed the bike sharing business is booming almost all the big providers come from asia with two million bikes its practically raining two wheelers in beijing the bicycles can be parked anywhere which is very appealing for customers. But. This summer germany got in on the craze too like here in munich and berlin suppliers underbid each other offering ever lower prices or are the real endings from Customer Data instead. You have a voice data from customers and you can call the right data or up at the right moment and match advertising precisely to the customer thats what makes this information so valuable for advertisers and the movement profiles can be sold to brokers and for a lot of money. But its likely most people will be more annoyed about all the bikes left lying around on land in the water and in the air. Do you know there are more combat shops right here than istanbul at all the days of the day and a cab number that im talking about the very meaty sandwich of turkish origin that sold on every Street Corner hit in the german capital well the European Union is considering banning phosphates dearness now thats what holds the meat together and the plan has come back. In a spin but re stone mans owns a journey kebab shop in the busy mitten neighborhood of berlin and he does a Good Business here but kebab shop owners around germany are up in arms about a new e. U. Regulation that would ban phosphates from germany. Not to mention the stuff and also so i expect a small bit of damage to our business.
