In light of the global financial crisis of 2008, the invention of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has caused many to reassess the value of centralized banking institutions. Dong He, deputy director of the IMF’s Monetary and Capital Markets Department, shared his analysis on how the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency could affect central banks and monetary policy.

By Leave a Comment

By now every crypto trader has experienced the anxiety of sending funds from one wallet address to another. You first copy paste the long string of letters and numbers, then double check five times to make sure you don’t send it to the wrong address and gift a random stranger with a nice weekend present.

The all-too-familiar problem of Bitcoin address format is now being challenged by a simple solution: human-readable addresses.

“One of the main problems facing mass adoption of cryptocurrency usage is the difficult nature of making token transactions,” says Isabella Dell, Founder, and CTO of IOV (Internet of Value). “When it comes to actual end-users, blockchain platforms have failed to solve the user experience problem around wallet addresses in particular.”  Read more...

In Sweden, just 2% of the country’s transactions are conducted with cash, and that number is expected to decline further down to 0.5% by 2020. Countries like Canada, the US, and the UK show similar stats.

Traditional stock market trades can leverage the concept of atomic swaps to facilitate direct stock-to-stock trades without requiring cash positions.

Atomic Stocks Overview

In traditional stock exchanges, retail investors in public markets are unable to switch from one position to another without first going into cash.
