By Leave a Comment

Though the availability of formal cryptocurrency and blockchain education around the globe is increasing rapidly, the UK Department for Education (DfE) appear to have no immediate plans to include cryptocurrency as a topic in the UK school curriculum.

From Chatroom to Classroom: The Evolution of Blockchain Education

With the creation of Bitcoin and its blockchain, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced an entirely new practical application for cryptography, unearthing an unexplored area for computer science and technological development. In the years following the technology’s inception, community demand for instructional information and educational materials began to rise. Soon after Nakamoto bootstrapped the network, coders would look for guidance on developing the software, business heads would look for information on Bitcoin’s financial ramifications, and enthusiasts would look for ways to support the network through mining and investing.  Read more...

The Congressional Facebook Testimony Is a Lesson in Agency, Responsibility, and Education

TheMerkle US Congress Hosue Bill 3364 Cryptocurrency

The recent Facebook congressional hearings on the (mis)handling of customer data has impassioned many of its users. The hearings themselves made a few things clear, and the public response shined light on a growing trend in a blockchain world: people want greater control over their data.

Congressional Facebook Testimony Underscores Need for Blockchain Technology

The facts are these: Facebook makes its money through ads, and those ads are worth more money if Facebook can provide information (freely offered by its users through a Terms of Service that they didn’t read) to tailor those ads. I can’t blame Facebook for wanting to make money; that’s just business. However, it should be no surprise that upon realizing just how much of their data was sold and to whom, users would want to change the relationship.  Read more...

Private companies, as well as national and local governments, have all caught media attention for announcing some kind of investigation or at least interest in the blockchain. Of course, one of the most notorious examples of this was Long Island Iced Tea Corporation’s pivot to Long Island Blockchain Corporation.

On February 28, 2018, the Kenyan government announced it will appoint a task force to explore the use of distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence over the course of a three-month tenure. Led by Dr. Bitange Ndemo, the 11-member task force has three months to produce a road map that will detail how these technologies can be applied at a local level. The task force includes Steve Chege, Safaricom’s head of corporate affairs, John Gitou, Michael Onyango, Dr. Charity Wayua, Fred Michuki and Juliana Rotich, a serial tech entrepreneur who co-founded BRCK and Ushahidi.  Read more...

Why Bitcoin Accelerators Need To Remain Vigilant In Their Search For Projects

By Leave a Comment

Regardless of which aspect of finance you are looking at, startup companies are facing so many uphill battles these days, it is becoming incredibly difficult to succeed.  Most of that failure can be attributed to a lack of guidance from so-called “startup accelerators”, or lack thereof.  But even these accelerators themselves are failing to do a low influx of proper investment-grade companies.

Startup Accelerators – A Business Model That Has To Change? 

Most people view startup accelerators as a way for new companies to receive funding and guidance.  And while there is some merit to that statement, no one stops and asks where that money is coming from.  Startup Accelerators are a form of investment, by attracting promising teams and companies, investing in them with time and money, and expecting to see a return.  Read more...

Bitcoin Marketing in 2015 Should Focus on Consumers And Not Just Retailers

By Leave a Comment

Even though some of us consider 2014 a pretty successful year for Bitcoin because of the increased merchant adoption and global awareness, there is still a lot of work to be done. A lot of big media focus is on the Bitcoin price, which is a matter near and dear to all of us.
