Bitcoin’s price managed to stand strongly against the punch from the authorities of China, who have banned ICOs, but another left hook from the head of JPMorgan Chase & Co., Jamie Dimon, who called cryptocurrencies a "fraud", has drawn Bitcoin down sharply.

Jamie Dimon, speaking at the Barclays financial conference in New York, was very aggressive towards Bitcoin and bank workers who are interested in cryptocurrency trades.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a financial regulatory watchdog in the United Kingdom, has today released a warning about the risks of Initial Coin Offerings (‘ICOs’), stating that ICO investors must be aware of the possibility to lose an ‘entire stake'.

2016 was a year of huge ICOs, and 2017 looks set to beat it hands down. The ICO boom worldwide leads more financial regulatory authorities to release notes on token sales. Most of them, warn about the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, the lack of regulation in the field and that there is mostly no protection for investors. Similar warnings have already been published by authorities in the US, Canada and Singapore, while last week China even banned all ICOs in the country starting September 4.

Anryze, a distributed speech recognition platform, demonstrates the way in which blockchain technology allows grassroots users to become individual providers rather than relying on large companies for service provision.

The tendency of history has been one of increased centralisation. Ever since humans started living together in large numbers, prompted by the development of crop farming and animal husbandry, government and governance have naturally developed in one direction. Concentration of power – political, economic, military, administrative – has been the default state. The direction of travel may periodically be reversed, but such events tend to be unusual, and often sudden and violent: the fall of an empire, the death of a dictator, the collapse of a corporation.

Artificial intelligence is breaking onto the scene for managing hedge funds, where they process volumes of data to pick up on patterns that even the most seasoned traders couldn’t see.

Coupled with collective intelligence, also known as “wisdom of the crowd,” where professionals and clueless people alike give their insight on a certain topic for an average that is impressively accurate, the combination of the two could lead to more efficient and higher return investment vehicles.

BeOne, the highly-anticipated Russian blockchain start-up is setting its ICO to go live very soon. To celebrate this milestone in the history of the company, the team has decided to offer 84 hours of bonuses for early bird investors. The month-long crowdsale is launching on September 7, 2017. It is a big step for the ambitious project, aimed at revolutionizing the industry of online education.

Compared with other businesses, this area seems to be uncrowded, there are not so many projects, with the exception of a few established players. In essence, the platform embarks on a path paved by big whales such as Coursera and Udemy, in an attempt to take their best features, enhance them, and bring in something new. What really sets it apart, is a decentralized structure, with all its entailing implications. Without trying to sound pompous, if we think of it for a while, BeOne is arguably the first online education project with a distributed ledger base. Time will show how this goes in practice, but for now, BeOne seems to have a number of attractive features for its users.
