John McAfee is a man who likes to make bold statements. There are few people who haven’t heard his price prediction for Bitcoin by 2020 (and what he’ll do if he’s wrong), his controversial outbursts over the SEC, or his political ambitions. But after a cryptocurrency journey as volatile as […]
Blockchain technology is here to stay, and it’s going to make the world a better place. At least, that’s the general consensus in the crypto community and slowly (but surely) the wider public as well. We might not know exactly how or when, but blockchain tech is on course to […]
We need more women in tech. That’s the general consensus. We also need to reduce our carbon emissions, but no one’s doing much about that either. So while I appreciate the trumpeting chorus of voices stating the obvious, wouldn’t it be better to see action rather than words? And better […]

Okay, so Bitcoin Bulls does sound a lot like a basketball team. But hey, investing in Bitcoin has a lot in common with an adrenaline-packed b-ball game. Highs and lows, wins and losses, regrouping in the locker room after a thrashing from regulators and cybercriminals… 2018 has been a tough […]
You know that major feature of blockchain technology? The one that cuts out the intermediaries and drives down the fees? Open banking is like fintech’s solution to that. If your bank is involved in open banking, it means that it’s part of a network of financial institutions. And between these institutions, […]
It’s hard work running a business. It almost makes you ache for a simpler time when all you had to worry about was shoplifters stealing your goods. Now you’ve got confidential data, trade secrets, and, of course, plenty of money at stake. We’ve taken a look at the top five […]
The majority of jobs in cryptocurrency require computer science degrees or a strong background in tech. Blockchain development is now the most searched-for freelance skill, having skyrocketed by over 6,000 percent since last year. But in this booming industry, there’s still plenty of room for all kinds of people to […]
We all know that cryptocurrency is a growing industry. And we’re aware that blockchain tech has the potential to save the world. That makes for an exciting space to work in and a bunch of highly creative cryptocurrency jobs up for grabs. In fact, any cursory Google search will pull […]
As regulators and blockchain companies in the States play cat and mouse, some interesting developments are going on in Europe.

Unless you’re French or Croatian, you’re probably still licking your wounds from the World Cup bloodbath. After months of anticipation, elevated expectations, and shattered dreams, the most important sporting event is coming to a close. This is an anticlimactic time for soccer fans around the world. And if you’re suffering […]
If you’d asked any cybersecurity professional around this time last year what the greatest threat to cybersecurity was, they’d have undoubtedly said ransomware. Now worth over a billion dollars a year (and rising), with attacks like WannaCry and Petya/NotPetya wreaking havoc, every expert worth their salt was planning ways to […]
Even Pops has heard about the Internet of Things. And if he hasn’t, he’s probably used some device connected to it without realizing it. But they say that with great power comes great responsibility (or words to that effect), and that is sort of the premise behind the Identity of […]
