RGB And Taro, Both Putting Tokens On Bitcoin, Take Two Different Approaches To Development

By Leave a Comment

RGB and Taro, two protocols capable of putting tokens like stablecoins on Bitcoin, have taken different approaches to solving similar problems.

This is an opinion editorial by Kishin Kato, the founder of Trustless Services K.K., a Japanese Lightning Network research and development company.

Demand for stablecoins on Bitcoin is returning as the Lightning Network offers massive scalability advantages. Currently, users in emerging markets who want to transact and save in USD will settle for stablecoins on other chains, according to proponents. Putting my personal feelings about these other blockchains aside, I must acknowledge that bitcoin received in cheap, cross-border remittances cannot easily be sold for dollars while they reside in non-custodial Lightning channels.  Read more...

Bitcoiners Are Flocking To Nostr, But What Makes It Different Than Twitter?

By Leave a Comment

Nostr is an alternative to Twitter that better protects users from censorship, and it’s built in a way that could appeal to Bitcoiners.

Nostr has gotten a lot of attention and steam behind it since its recent addition to the list of alternative social platforms that are prohibited from promotion on Twitter. And it’s also gaining traction as it’s become clear that the Twitter buyout by Elon Musk hasn’t fundamentally changed anything about freedom of expression on the platform — users are still being banned for inconsistent and arbitrary reasons, and people are looking for a decentralized alternative that isn’t something like Mastodon, where a server operator still has the ability to control your identity.  Read more...

I Thought This Bitcoin Cycle Was Different

By Leave a Comment

Like many Bitcoiners who came before me, I thought this cycle was the one to end it all and lead us to hyperbitcoinization. Boy, was I wrong.

This is an opinion editorial by Cory Tucek, the CEO of Movies Plus and the host of the “Bitcoin Made Simple Podcast.”

To all the plebs that came before me, listening to your tireless explanations and warnings saved me from some terrible mistakes. Thank you.

Here’s Why Pantera Capital Thinks This Bitcoin Bear Market is Different

By Leave a Comment

Dan Morehead, the CEO of bitcoin investment firm Pantera Capital, says everyone needs to chill out about the current Crypto Winter. Morehead reminded the myopic industry that the crypto space had weathered similar bear markets before, and this one actually bodes well for the future of bitcoin and blockchain. ‘Underlying Fundamentals Are Much Stronger’ “This is actually our second Crypto Winter,” Morehead said on Laura Shin’s podcast Unconfirmed (audio below). “There was one in 2014 to 2015. In the previous one, I had more of a worry in the pit of my stomach about whether blockchain was actually going to work.  Read more...

Binance Delists Four Coins (BCN, CHAT, TRIG, ICN) for Four VERY Different Reasons… We Investigated Why

By Leave a Comment

The most popular cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, sent out a blog post this morning saying they are delisting 4 coins. (BCN, CHAT, TRIG, ICN)

I decided to do some digging myself into the potential reasons for these delistings. Each of the 4 projects became delisted for a different reason, and Binance didn’t explicitly say why. Immediately following the delisting, all 4 projects took a beating in price action.

XRP And Stellar, Same Goal, Different Paths But Which Will Succeed First?

“Even though Ripple and Stellar come from the same source code and cater to the same industry, their focus approach and strategy is very different.

Week in Review

Going back to the early days of Bitcoin, we look at the contributions of Nick Szabo to smart contracts and Bit Gold. Decentralizing gets another boost by Augur in the predictions marketplace with the launch of their platform. Then we see a very real world example of cryptocurrency solving a real need in Venezuela to avoid their collapsing currency and allow people to buy the goods they need to survive. Finally, we see a conventional exchange, the CBOE, talking to the SEC about getting a bitcoin ETF license, which would be a real milestone in terms of bringing cryptocurrency even closer to the masses as an investment vehicle.  Read more...

Why the PLAAK Exchange Is Different

By Leave a Comment

Exchanges form the foundational platform for obtaining cryptocurrencies. These encrypted currencies are then used to make online purchases and transactions. In a world becoming increasingly digitalized, this form of currency is becoming highly popular.

Due to such a rise in demand for this form of digital asset, companies have clamored to capitalize on the growth by introducing numerous kinds of exchanges. Although this has provided users with options, it often leaves them confused and having to compromise on certain areas of exchanges as there is little to no effort by companies to tick all the boxes at their own expense.  Read more...
