Since the time the concepts of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology were first introduced to our modern reality, they have become the subject of discussion not only among programmers and crypto enthusiasts but also in business. People from finance, investment and banking spheres went into analyzing the possibilities and prospects of blockchain implementation and usage. Several countries and territories have advanced so far trying to create and liberalize the conditions for blockchain-based projects that got recognized as the world’s cryptocurrency centers or hubs. That refers to the Swiss city of Zug with its thriving crypto Silicon Valley, well-known to all digital currency supporters. While most countries stayed away from the innovative distributed ledger technologies, Zug took his own way and built the most advanced ecosystem for the development of blockchain and ICO projects. Hundreds of startups rush to this Swiss town in order to establish their business, register a company

Education tokens (LEDU) are used for all transactions on the LiveEdu platform – the first for the Education Ecosystem . Tokens minted following their crowdsale were allocated for different purposes, as explained in this article . Due to a change in the original plan for sourcing of tokens to use on the LiveEdu platform, on July 31st 2018 30 million Education tokens are going to be burned. Tokens that viewers will use on LiveEdu will be sourced from exchanges instead of from the subscription pool. As a result, a portion of the subscription pool tokens will be burned. In addition, a portion of the tokens originally allocated for API Ecosystem Developers and Supporters (Quality Assurance & Moderation) will be burned and sourced from exchanges if further tokens are required. New Offices Education Ecosystem will soon be opening two offices in Kiev and Santa Monica. They are in the process of hiring 3 new engineers who will be joining the team at the engineering office in Kiev . I

Jackson Palmer (Dogecoin), Ivan Perez (Initia Health), Jürgen Schouppe (Safe Haven) and Marcus Levin (XYO) share their views on the Future of ICOs at the Global Blockchain Forum in Santa Clara (CA). Jackson Palmer (Dogecoin): I know that due to regulatory uncertainty some companies were scared away from using an ICO as a funding method. A lot of that is warranted because a lot of ICOs clearly want to raise way more money than they need, or are just scams. Because of that, there are regulatory movements developing that will wipe out companies that don’t have a good technical base. We already see the amount of ICOs has slightly declined. Companies in the crypto space are starting to resemble traditional companies in the US. In Asia they are still getting ridiculous valuations though. It’s tough to say how the blockchain market is transforming the financial market — we have people doing security tokens and they are complying with the SEC. Maybe the stock market will one day be re

Cryptocurrencies are now getting the attention and respect of traditional financial institutions. As currencies like Bitcoin become more accepted, institutions must meet growing investor demands for easier access to their digital money. Until now, cryptocurrency miners have been regarded as a small community of computer enthusiasts, whose mining activities were nothing more than a hobby. Bank and other other financial institutions ignored the needs of cryptocurrency miners. That is no longer the case. A recent study puts this seismic shift in the embracement of cryptocurrencies by mainstream financial organizations. Thomas Reuters surveyed more than 400 clients on its data and trading platforms, with results showing that about 20 percent of the clients are “really interested and actively exploring” launching cryptocurrency trading operations in 2018. In an article discussing the findings , the firm’s director of new content initiatives, Sam Chadwick, said this “feedback really aston

The conference Blockchain Indo will be held in Jakarta Indonesia on May 11-12 2018. Venue: Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta Jakarta is one of the top 10 crypto-capitals of the world in 2017, according to IDACB (International Decentralised Association of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain). This means that the city has created conditions for trading, crypto-exchanges, mining and ICO. This ranking was compiled by artificial intelligence based on research of cryptocurrency events worldwide. Indonesian government is still skeptical of digital money and in the future (and potentially) only agrees to accept its own cryptocurrency. However, the business community shows growing interest in the new opportunities of digital economy. The event is attended by the full gamut of the cryptocurrency community starting from authority experts in bloсkchain, heads of ICOs, blockchain specialists, to investors and miners.

One of the largest problems in the blockchain and cryptocurrency world today is trust. With scams being so prevalent and often well-planned, it’s difficult to know which news sources and projects to trust when making investment decisions. Fake news has become so widespread and effective in the cryptocurrency space that it has even caused massive fluctuations in the price of many assets. For example, in early January 2018, rumors began spreading that South Korea had plans to ban its citizens from using cryptocurrency exchanges. Many news sources began publishing articles detailing the South Korean government’s intention to ban all exchanges, with virtually no evidence provided. Investors began to panic, and rightfully so, considering the impact South Korean investors have on the cryptocurrency market. About a week later, the South Korean government cleared the air and announced that they had no such plans. But the damage had already been done – due to panic selling, Bitcoin had lost

This ongoing blockchain and cryptocurrency boom is how developments in technologies and the continued flow of investments are enabling some very exciting projects to materialize. Take Senno , for example. Senno is blockchain-based platform that aims to make sentiment analysis and collective intelligence accessible to a wider audience. These tools were previously only available to large enterprises and research institutions. Sentiment analysis can generate insights regarding how markets feel about particular topics or products. Textual information from user-generated content such as comments from social media or reviews on ecommerce sites are gathered and analyzed to reveal trending positive, negative, or neutral sentiments. “There are many benefits to tapping into public opinion in real time. These include being able to identify threats or opportunities and respond immediately, to monitor the impact of changes made to marketing campaigns and products as well as performance in a speci

Blockchain technology is overtaking more traditional payment methods in a number of spheres, but the online gambling sector seems to be the first to fully embrace cryptocurrencies, and with new regulation expected from the MGA, another step has been made towards full acceptance of cryptocurrencies in online gambling. What is Bitcoin? A blockchain consists of a continuously growing list of records. These ‘blocks’ are linked and secured by means of cryptography, containing a cryptographic hash, a timestamp and transaction data. Since it is typically managed from a peer-to-peer network, it is much more resistant to modification and fraud. Once data has been stored in a block, it cannot be altered retroactively without altering subsequent blocks. The most famous cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is based on this technology. Bitcoin Popularity Bitcoin has seen a skyrocketing popularity since its inception in 2009, and it is easy to see how online casino and Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, are

Coinjanitor.io is going to make crypto better by restoring locked value to cryptocurrency markets. Step into any office building, school, government office or even residential buildings, and you will find a janitor. The janitor takes care of all the small things the building needs to run, keeping it clean and tidy. Most of us never notice the janitor; unless we have an issue, we don’t interact with them. Nevertheless, once a pipe bursts, a window cracks or there is a huge spill on the hallway we call the only person we know who can take care of the mess. The janitor contributes to our efficiency even if we don’t notice. Cryptocurrency markets are a lot like these buildings, but they do not have a resident janitor that can help them, until now. CoinJanitor is the project that will take care of all the pipe bursts, cracked windows and hallway spills in cryptocurrency markets. How does CoinJanitor Work? So, what is the role of CoinJanitor in cryptocurrency markets, why is it relevant
