One of the more interesting initial coin offerings was the one organized by Kik. The popular messaging application issued its own native token, known as Kin. Although that took place some time ago, it has taken until now to officially integrate the new token into the Kik ecosystem. Kin Functionality Has Arrived With any initial coin offering, the use cases for the new currency may not become apparent immediately. In the case of Kin, things were no different, even though the Kik team had a clear plan from day one. The social messaging giant was working on incorporating this token into its existing ecosystem without disrupting any of the existing functionality. After several months of trying to figure out the correct approach, Kin has now become a useful native asset. More specifically, the Kik team has outlined how this new […]

It has not been a good week for cryptocurrencies. The way things look right now, the coming weekend won’t offer much of a relief in this regard. Judging by the current momentum, the TRON price will struggle for stability. Its current decline to $0.035 may only be the beginning of what is yet to come later this week. TRON Price Battle Continues Due to all major cryptocurrencies continually losing value this week, the TRON price has undergone some big changes. None of those changes have resulted in any positive developments, as the $0.04 price level couldn’t be maintained h the process. Earlier this week, that still seemed to be possible, as a dip below $0.042 was bought up quickly. Even so, the TRON price has continued to drift lower ever since that time. As of right now, it seems highly […]

When a major publication like The New York Times considers you a leader or ‘influencer’ in the blockchain space, chances are you’re probably working for a bank or the government. Here Come The ‘Blockchain Influencers’ In an industry inspired by Bitcoin, specifically created to shun authority and eliminate trust, the idea of leaders seems like a joke to anyone who’s been in this space longer than a year. The good news is that not a single Bitcoin Core developer made it on the list — which can be interpreted as a stamp of approval for those who appreciate leaderless, and even anonymous, open-source code development. The bad news is that the given list continues to perpetuate the abstract idea of ‘blockchain’ that even The New York Times admits is still vaporware that “is supposed to be all about distributing power and […]

The cryptocurrency markets remain in a state of flux, for the time being. Although it seems there may be some short-term positive momentum later today, the actual price trend remains rather negative. If the Cardano price is any indication, the coming weekend may not result in anything overly positive. Cardano Price Continues to Dwindle For those waiting for all cryptocurrency markets to recover, it appears the wait is far from over at this stage. All markets remain troubled by bearish pressure, and there is no indication of any major changes in this regard moving forward. For the Cardano price, this past week has not been great. Its value dropped from $0.145 all the way to $0.117 and there may be further declines looming on the horizon. Over the past 24 hours, the Cardano price has lost another 6.38% in value. […]

Bitcoin has seen a massive decline in 2018 and it looks like it may get worse before it gets better. It is leaving investors grasping for reasons why the world’s top cryptocurrency is falling so hard, with some wondering – could this be it for Bitcoin? Has Bitcoin Lost Its Way? Interest in Bitcoin – and cryptocurrencies in general – reached a frenzied pitch back in December of last year as mainstream media sources scrambled to cover the digital currency’s meteoric rise to an all-time high of near $20,000. Since then, however, that surge has lost much of its momentum as prices continue to decline. Although Bitcoin continues to appear in the mainstream media spotlight on a near-daily basis, the focus has shifted to the price decline as well as speculation on just how low the cryptocurrency could go. It […]

If you thought that only proof of work coins were susceptible to double spending attacks, you haven’t met tether.

IOTA broke down from its symmetrical triangle consolidation pattern to signal that further losses are in the cards. The chart pattern spans 0.8800 to 1.0600 so the resulting drop could be of the same height. The 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA to confirm that the path of least resistance is to the downside. This means that the drop is more likely to carry on than to reverse. However, the gap between the moving averages is narrowing to signal that bearish pressure is slowing. Stochastic is also pulling out of oversold levels to signal a return in bullish momentum. Similarly RSI is starting to crawl higher, also signaling that buyers are returning while sellers take a break. In that case, IOTA could still pull back to the broken triangle bottom before heading further south. The dollar has been […]

Bitcoin prices back in 2013 touched a high of $1,236 per BTC on December 4, and following that spike the price dropped for more than a year, all the way to $225 per coin on June 1, 2015. Last year in 2017 the price of BTC ran up higher, but this time reached $19,600 per coin, and it has lost considerable value since then. At the moment mainstream media (MSM) is reporting on how people who bought at the height in 2017 have lost quite a bit of their investment, but MSM has failed to report that this year’s dip is less, percentage wise, than the losses in 2013 and the extent of $19K to $6K loss has been far less severe.

Crypto is a miracle investment. It turned thousands of shy forum-loving, game-addicted teenagers into millionaires, while the majority of banks and institutional investors missed the opportunity of their lifetime. However, if you were smart enough to get your hands on any of the 1600 cryptocurrencies available, simply holding the precious coins tucked away in a mega-protected wallet might be a bit of a turn-down. Remember that Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin to be used on a daily basis instead of institutional printed money and the first attempts to use Bitcoin to buy (mostly) illegal stuff on Silk Road gave us the first glimpse of the amazing potential of this decentralized currency and can’t be shifted away. Bitcoin was never meant to become an investment vehicle, it has been created to replace traditional money, finally shaking greedy banks to their core. Today, […]

The cryptocurrency industry is not just about Bitcoin. Albeit it may seem that way for most, there is a lot more to this industry. With so many new currencies and tokens launching, keeping tabs on the bigger picture becomes all the more important. Looking Beyond Bitcoin When people discuss cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin will be named fairly quickly. It is the world’s leading cryptocurrency, after all. Additionally, all alternative currencies derive most of their value from BTC due to it being the market leader. It is a very intriguing and intricate ecosystem in this regard. However, Bitcoin is still only a facet of the industry and should be treated as the whole enchilada. Besides BTC, there are several thousands of other currencies. Not all of those are worth one’s money or time. In fact, ninety percent of them might not stick around […]

Between investment portfolios, asset management, and regular conversations about HODLing, there isn’t much talk of charitable deeds. Cryptocurrency has been tarnished with many brushes, from criminal use to tax evasion and selfish personal gain. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Cryptocurrency can have a strong philanthropic impact as well. At the very least, donors giving in Bitcoin can slate it as a tax write-off. In today’s competitive climate, charities don’t have it easy. With 1.5 million registered nonprofits in the United States alone, they have to fight tooth and nail to be heard. They come up against donor apathy, marketing and operational costs, and each other, in the battle for people’s hearts – and wallets. For a charity to survive in this cutthroat world, they need as many ways to appeal to donors as possible. Online donations are […]

Multiple technology companies have taken a harsh stance on cryptocurrency advertisements. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter have all removed cryptocurrency advertisements from their platforms. Surprisingly, Facebook has already reversed its decision in a very peculiar way. Facebook Changes its Mind The proposed ban on cryptocurrency advertisements on the Facebook platform was not received well by the community. That was not entirely surprising, as Facebook is the largest social media network to date. For cryptocurrency companies as well as ICO projects, it was an easy way to pay for global exposure and potentially attract new users and investors. That situation came to change a few weeks ago. Facebook made it clear that all cryptocurrency-related advertisements would be banned from the platform. Unfortunately for the social media giant, it quickly became apparent that enforcing such a ban would be problematic. Some companies […]
