What do Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple have in common? you might say “They’re all tech giants,” but if you live in Europe or China you might have a different answer: “They’re all American.” In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, the tech revolution hatched in America, largely in Silicon Valley, and and proceeded to take over the world in the form of iPhones, ads and social networks. A period of benign neglect meant that these companies were free from government interference, both in the US and abroad. No one realized that a website for teenagers to hookup would end up a center of global power. All that is changing. The world has woken up to the importance of technology, and they no longer want the US to dominate. China is the leader in blocking US tech companies using the […]

Crypto whales are generally thought of as wealthy traders with the ability to move markets via a single sell order. Yet the greatest whales of all aren’t traders but ICOs which own millions of ether worth billions of dollars. Over 3% of the total ethereum supply is estimated to be in the hands of ICOs, and when those projects cash out, as periodically happens, the effects can be dramatic. Also read: The ‘Mt Gox Whale’ Explains His Crypto-Selling Strategy Ethereum Is at the Mercy of ICOs Cashing Out On Sunday, while the crypto markets were enduring yet more turmoil, ethereum took a sudden nosedive, going from $516 to $464 in under two hours.

Of all the industries that blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt, education seems like one of the least obvious. However, current education systems are not keeping pace with technological developments, leaving students out in the cold. The BitDegree Concept BitDegree’s concept is simple. Technology is outpacing the development of educational courses in traditional educational institutions. Therefore, the company seeks to provide the highest quality courses available to bridge an identified gap between employers’ needs and the current offerings of universities and higher education institutions. BitDegree likes to think of their platform as a merged version of Coursera and HackerRank. How does BitDegree work? BitDegree is designed to not only educate those people wishing to pursue a degree in IT who are barred by an inadequate traditional education system, but also act as a matchmaker of sorts between students and prospective employers.

While peer-to-peer systems offer users a high level of encryption and privacy, these networks have been found to not be feasible for use within production storage systems. As a result, Storj proposes a functional model that addresses performance concerns while implementing a set of federated nodes which promote transparency and overall system usability. At its core, Storj is a cloud storage service which makes use of native tokens to facilitate all internal transactions. These tokens are appropriately called STORJ, and can be used to purchase cloud-based storage space within the platform ecosystem. According to the official whitepaper, the goal of this platform is to foster an environment that promotes faster cloud storage capabilities as well as lowers the utility prices for such digital services. This is mainly achieved through the use of a decentralized cloud server instead of a localized […]

While many politicians and heads of corporations continue to lambast cryptocurrencies, PayPal co-founder and venture capitalist Peter Thiel has backed Bitcoin yet again, calling the virtual currency the future of finance. Thiel has been a vocal proponent of Bitcoin for some time now, and has been advocating the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain since 2017. In a recent interview, he compared bitcoin to gold bars placed inside a “vault that never moves”. He elaborated by saying that he saw crypto assets as being “value containers” rather than currencies which would be used to facilitate everyday transactions.

Bitcoin has enjoyed a small jump following yesterday’s monthly low. At press time, the coin is trading for just over $8,300 following a rough stint that saw it meandering at the $7,600 mark during the early hours of March 18. For every factor contributing to bitcoin’s rise, there seems to be one knocking it back. Originally hovering at around $8,500 during the morning of March 19, bitcoin’s price fell to its current spot after President Donald Trump announced that he was banning American residents from purchasing or trading Venezuela’s cryptocurrency the “petro.” While allegedly created to assist in the country’s ailing economy by President Nicolas Maduro, the coin has no doubt caused its fair share of controversy following its official introduction last February. The currency was the object of several private auctions, which according to a Tweet later posted by […]

Coca-Cola is teaming up with the U.S. State Department and two other companies to use the blockchain to tackle the use of forced labour worldwide.

As a result, companies find themselves under pressure to tackle the issue of forced labour in countries where they obtain sugarcane.

Things continue to get very interesting in Venezuela as of right now. While the country has its own national cryptocurrency, not everyone will benefit from this currency. The Western town of Elorza is now issuing its own paper currency as a result. A rather remarkable decision, although it is evident this sets a very peculiar precedent as well. It is not exactly common for cities to issue their own paper currency. While this has happened before, making it legal tender is a different thing entirely. Venezuela has a massive shortage of banknotes as of right now. This makes the decision by the town of Elorza all the more unusual.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB), chaired by Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, said: The FSB’s initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time. This is in part because they are small relative to the financial system. Carney went on to say that even with market prices peaking in December, the combined global cryptocurrency market was less than one percent of global GDP.

Around 500 million NEM was stolen from the company, and the hackers have seemingly vanished without a trace. Rumor has it that some of this stolen money has been laundered through various means, including darknet markets. Whether or not that is correct remains to be determined at this stage. Even so, the exchange will begin reimbursing customers out of its own pocket very soon. This does not mean the stolen money has been recovered, as there […]
