Consensus may be grabbing the headlines with major announcements from businesses and institutions moving into blockchain. But the industry’s biggest conference in NYC isn’t the only event worth adding to your calendar. Cryptocurrency never sleeps. Just like a binge-worthy Netflix series, there are new twists and turns every day–and plenty […]
Remember NEO? Formerly Antshares, NEO became one of the hottest blockchains of 2017. It saw an astounding rise in popularity thanks to a charismatic leader, a loyal developer community, and a decent scoop of hype. NEO was often compared to Vitalik’s creation, even touted as the ‘Ethereum Killer.’ So, what […]
2018 was a year of ups and downs with very few high points and a ton of lows, far too many for the less-than-frequent flyer. When investors, analysts, enthusiasts, and economists look back at why crypto got such a kick in the privates the last few months, you almost inevitably […]
Luno is on a mission to make buying and selling crypto from your mobile easy and in doing so, “upgrading the world to a better financial system.” While pretty much everyone agrees that 2018’s been one long stint in bear country, this blockchain firm has taken the time to analyze […]
No one is denying that’s it’s a pretty rough time to be in crypto right now. If you’d invested $100 this time last year, you’d now have a grand total of around $16 today. And let’s be honest, many people invested a lot more than that. But while we’re used […]
Bitcoin’s tumbled to a 15-month low. Ethereum is circling the drain. Despite announcements of a Swiss ETP, more regulated bitcoin futures in Q1, a German stock exchange launching a crypto platform, and institutional investors getting in, the market keeps on hemorrhaging. Is it time to jump ship? Cut your losses […]
There’s been plenty of talk about the entrance of Bakkt into the market and now Nasdaq is following suit. But while just 12 months ago, speculation about bitcoin futures entering the market served to pump crypto prices, this time it’s a very different scenario. The market is crashing, naysayers are […]
Regulation is still a contentious subject that splits the crypto community down the middle. But after all the abuses witnessed to date, it’s hard to swallow the argument that the industry needs no regulating at all. That it will stifle innovation and kill off the beautiful utopia created by… hacks […]
Another day, another cryptocurrency exchange. So, what makes Level01 any different from the rest? In a sea of competition from established centralized exchanges and rapidly appearing decentralized ones, what value prop does Level01 offer and how does the technology hold up? I spoke to Jonathan Loi, CEO & Founder of […]
It’s a rare morning these days waking up to green markets. But while interest in cryptocurrencies may be dwindling, blockchain companies are still pressing forward to deliver on their promises. Whether they can or will is another matter. However, Samuel Baroukh Chief Digital Officer of FMCG giant Nestlé France remains bullish […]
Yes, it might sound a little like a broken record, but if the Coinbase blog announcement is to be believed, the exchange will be stocking many more cryptos soon. While indisputably one of the largest crypto exchanges and trading platforms in the world, it also stocks one of the fewest […]
Since liquidity is arguably the most important element of any exchange, it makes sense that all exchanges desire it. And when volatility is the enemy of liquidity, stablecoins start to gain traction. Yet serious businesses, traders, and consumers at large simply aren’t convinced by stablecoins with shady pasts or questionable […]
Casper, Plasma, Sharding. These are all terms mentioned when it comes to tackling Ethereum’s well-known scalability issues. Each with their own challenges, none of them immediately close in sight. Enter OpenST Mosaic. A Protocol so new (it’s been kept tightly under wraps) that it hasn’t come up as a topic […]
You already knew this, but let me throw another coal on the fire. Cybercrime is rampant, widespread, indiscriminate, and worst of all–on the rise. That’s not just speculation but confirmed in the McAfee Labs Threat report released yesterday. Not only is cryptojacking spreading like wildfire despite some reports seeing a […]
You only have to hit “view all” on Coinmarketcap to see the explosion of cryptocurrencies over recent years and months. While half of 2017’s ICOs have already hit the hay (and plenty more will follow), innovation is still booming in this sector–as well as a lot of noise. And it […]
Talk to anyone about the blockchain industry and the conversation usually turns to regulation, or rather, its lack of. However, just as many countries are starting to use existing securities laws as a framework for ICOs, blockchain companies are using existing legal channels to take action on each other. Specifically, […]
According to a report by the New York Attorney General’s office, the majority of cryptocurrency exchanges fail to incorporate adequate safeguards and consumer protections. They are also extremely susceptible to market manipulation, insider trading, and conflicts of interest. So, tell us something we don’t know. 3. Conflicts of Interest […]
Dash is gaining traction throughout the world and, in particular, in developing countries where governments are failing the people. In fact, of the over 3,000 merchants that are listed on DiscoverDash.com, approximately half of them are in Venezuela. This is no coincidence. When people cannot use or rely on their […]
