How Ripple could become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization

The main reason for the growth in demand for Ripple (XRP) in late December and early January were reports by American Express and Banco Santander about the readiness to use cryptocurrency for cross-border payments.In addition, the system of international payments on the basis of the blockade Ripple began to test the banks of Japan and South Korea. From the beginning of January, an association of the largest Japanese credit card issuing banks will work, which will explore the possibilities of using a detachment to track credit card transactions.

However, Ripple’s volatility is connected not only with positive news, but also with the probability of artificial price manipulation. There are talks that Bithumb is not able to sell Ripple at a price below a certain level on South Korea’s largest currency exchange. Orders are automatically canceled. It is important to note that this exchange has more than a quarter of the volume of trading in the сryptocurrency, so the opportunities for manipulating the exchange rate are quite real.

Of course, the main idea of the project contributed to the growth of the cryptocurrency. Ripple set out to completely eliminate SWIFT and destroy the monopoly of transnational transfers using its own XRP token. Ripple technology allows you to make transnational payments in 15 seconds, while, in the classical banking system, this operation takes three days. Obviously, at present, the speed of translation is a decisive factor.

Another factor in popularizing XRP is that this digital currency does not use blocking technology. There is no mining: the cryptocurrency is completely centralized, it is released in limited quantities and can not be devalued.

I believe that Ripple is one of the most promising cryptocurrency for the coming year. Since the сryptocurrency is going to be added to the largest US exchange Coinbase, there is a possibility that it will start Ripple growth by 500%. For example, when Bitcoin Cash was added, trades were even closed for a while due to a sharp jump in the rate.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
