What is the Next Value Driver for Crypto in 2018?

Image
What I'm looking for is the next big driver of value to the crypto markets. In 2017, we had credit cards and social media. What I'm trying to figure out is what will the 2018 killer value app be for crypto? What can we do to increase adoption to the crypto markets? My goal is to find direct ways to contribute. For example, I have a crypto blog which you can read for free. Some drivers of value to Crypto in 2018 include: Working decentralized marketplaces for physical and digital goods to disintermediate from middlemen.  Inter-blockchain communication. Killer deployment tools.  (DEX) Decentralized Exchanges. I've used https://token.store and it works wonderfully for ETH tokens. The UI is quite intuitive. The exchange doesn't hold your private key.  More gateways (on ramps). More smart contracts on Ethereum and other networks.  Please add any additional ideas to this list by subscribing to my blog and leaving a comment. Thank you.

Ripple vs XRP - Explained

Image
Hacker Noon wrote an excellent article about the differences between Ripple and XRP in a January article. It looks to clear up the misinformation and fake news regarding this coin. I personally learned a lot just by reading this one article and feel I'm a lot more educated on the subject now. One snippet is that apparently Ripple and XRP are not the same thing. Ripple is the company and XRP is one of the multiple product offerings they offer. Banks don't use XRP. They use the Ripple software. Before you invest in XRP, it is recommended that you read this article. https://hackernoon.com/4-alarming-reasons-ripple-might-not-be-what-you-think-9debc3c86985

What Is My Bitcoin Net Worth?

Image
There is an ongoing debate about Bitcoin and its utility value. The answer to the question “What is my Bitcoin net worth” is ZERO because I don’t own Bitcoin (BTC). I’m a big proponent for Bitcoin Cash (BCH). If you like friction, buy Bitcoin (BTC). Google “Bitcoin High Fee Coin” and you will get tons of information. There is not enough time for that discussion in this article. Also, view this link for a great comparison of Bitcoin Legacy vs Bitcoin Cash: I like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and EOS (EOS) because I believe they enable freedom, equality and world peace. Although today BCH may not have as many network effects as Bitcoin (BTC), it is growing fast in all regards. Not to mention Dr. Craig Wright has publicly stated that Bitcoin Cash is patenting everything. In a perfect open world, patents may not be ideal but if it is nChain that owns the patents versus a big bank, I sleep well knowing nChain already thought of future scaling problems and markets. nChain is proposing a crypt...

Warren Buffett: Cryptocurrencies Will Come to a 'Bad Ending'

Warren Buffett: #Cryptocurrencies Will Come to a 'Bad Ending' https://t.co/GfLUQKWFne via @CoinDesk — Jared Schlar (@jaredsc) January 11, 2018 Personally, I don't think Warren Buffett understands what a "cryptocurrency" is. He is clearly threatened by them the same way that Jaime Dimon is. I don't think time will favor him in this case and he is definitely not open to new ways of conducting business including lucrative new business models. Berkshire Hathaway will have to hire an even younger CEO to keep up. Good luck to him.

Insights into Chain Death Spiral and Other Vulnerabilities Plaguing Bitcoin

Image
Bitcoin (BTC) has been in the limelight lately for all the wrong reasons, including its associated risks and some vulnerabilities it has. A few of the most concerning vulnerabilities and issues that BTC faces are related to: problems with difficulty adjustment, the possibility of a Chain Death Spiral, and the ongoing rise in the mempool. In the following sections, we will explore these issues in greater detail. A Closer Look at Vulnerabilities and Issues Bitcoin is Facing Issue #1: Bitcoin's Vulnerability With Respect to Difficulty Adjustment and the 2016 Blocks Right at the time of the Bitcoin fork, it became clear that Bitcoin’s protocol has an inherent vulnerability. The vulnerability relates to the difficulty adjustment: in the event there is a loss of mining power by the chain, it will have to wait for a total of 2016 blocks to be processed before a difficulty adjustment can take place to bring the block time back to its normal ten minute target. If mining power is no...

You are probably wonder what is EOS (EOS) and how is it different then Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies?
