Despite all the perception that crypto-atheists, naysayers and some movie-makers have, and spur, about crypto technology being a laundering nightmare, the truth is still tucked well inside some grey pile somewhere. So the movie is out. People in the crypto community have run out of eggs and tomatoes. People who are still catching up on what the word even means are trying to make up their minds. But despite all the polarizing reactions the Kurt Russell starrer ‘Crypto’ minted, its plot (that was all about the use of cryptocurrencies by a clandestine network for primarily laundering money) should make us think about the big issue in a way that is neither black or white, neither blue nor pink – which is, by neither dissing crypt ...

There is a new tussle between Ayres and Wrights of the crypto world that has shaken up the industry yet again from a cosy slumber. Thanks to an alien force that is as intriguing and important to the plot as a Hodlonaut. There are collateral damages in the form of Bitcoin SV (BSV) delisted from Binance and then a supposed replay for Bitcoin Cash (delisting expected in June 2019) by Japanese player SBI Holdings.

It comes as a surprise to most people that the network we know as the “world-wide web” is in many ways not world-wide at all. For instance, platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram have long been banned in the People’s Republic of China1 - which was followed by a ban of WhatsApp in 20172. Another example is general access to the Internet in Eritrea, where less than 1.18% of the population of over 4.4 million people uses the Internet3. More shockingly, a 2016 study by Cambridge University revealed that more than sixty countries engage in some form of state-sponsored censorship of the Internet4. With several forms of social advances relying on unencumbered access to the Internet, many parts of the world are being left in the dark ...

The National Development and Reform Commission of China (NDRC) wants to ban bitcoin mining. The corresponding document appeared on the website of the organization. How will it possibly influence bitcoin? Well, let"s figure out what possible outcome this decision might give to bitcoin network - this will reduce the hashpower of the network, blocks will be harder to be confirmed, it will take longer to calculate one block. This situation might look as a disaster, considering the fact that by some calculations, up to 60% of the hashpower of the entire network is currently located in China. According to the logic of an average human-being, we imagine a huge factory with some production lines that are constantly printing bitcoins as the ...

Advertising and Mining: Oil and water? Beer and Milk? From clever brains to wicked skulls, from new-age Salons to dark alleys of malvertisers; many have tried to mix these two ingredients for more revenues. The right cocktail has still not come about though. Neither cryptocurrency is egg yolk, nor a digital ad cottage cheese; but somehow these two end up turning into a ‘Cement Mixer’ or ‘Motor Oil’ when shaken together. There has to be some safe spot in this spectrum between a sticky mass and a black mess. Well, a lot of shots have been taken at that.

There are millions of publishers competing with YouTube and Facebook for views. Since most can’t compete, they add the YouTube player on their site and hope for the best. The best is not much. YouTube and Facebook provide a pittance of revenue in exchange for those views and therefore publishers are dying like flies. Simply building a video sharing platform is not a solution because no matter how good the platform, who is going to bother to move off YouTube to watch a bit of content when they have a whole world of content on YouTube.

Instead of stating that each USDT token is supported by dollar reserves in a 1: 1 ratio, a moment that has always been in doubt, because they did not allow for proper testing — now Tether writes on their official website: Every tether is always 100% backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by T ...
