Despite the heavy beating Bitcoin has taken, the sentiment has not turned bearish, and there are still have too many articles being published on a weekly basis claiming that Bitcoin is going to surge to 100K and beyond.Do these experts ever bother to look at the charts before issuing such targets or do they do so after ingesting some toxic substance?

BERLIN (AP) — German officials have been left speechless by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s comment that there are “no-go areas” in the country.

The notion there are places in Germany outsiders — including police — can’t visit has previously been dismissed by officials.

In an interview Monday with German broadcaster n-tv, Merkel said she favors a zero tolerance policy on crime and that includes preventing no-go areas, “that’s areas where nobody dares to go.”

She added: “There are such areas and one has to call them by their name and do something about them.”

Asked to name the areas, Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters Wednesday that “the chancellor’s words speak for themselves.” Full Story

ANGELA Merkel has admitted German no-go zones are a “reality” in shocking comments which add to fears there are places in the country where outsiders and even police offices are afraid to visit.
The German Chancellor, who is approaching her fourth term in office, confessed there are places in her nation “where people are afraid to go”.

Her shocking comments come after a shock report revealed gangs of men are preventing people from straying into once vibrant areas of the country for fear of violence and abuse that even law enforcement has been unable to control.

During an interview with n-tv on Monday, she said: “The state has to ensure that whenever people move or meet in public areas they feel safe.

“It means for example that there cannot be any no-go areas, that there cannot be areas where people are afraid to go – but such places are a reality.
There are as many as 40 places named in confidential police reports – despite repeated denials from officers – according to a report by US think-thank Gatestone Institute.

Angela Merkel welcomed more than one million refugees into Germany as part of her widely-criticised open door refugee policy.

In 2015, the EU saw a huge spike in the number of people applying for asylum as hundreds of thousands of people arrived after fleeing conflict in the Middle East and Africa.

In response to the increase, Mrs Merkel agreed to accept more than one million refugees into Germany. Full Story
