Introducing ApolloX: Empowering decentralized e-commerceThe e-commerce industry has been booming over the past two decades and has led to the emergence of online shopping giants such as eBay, Amazon and Alibaba. This industry is only growing and shows no sign of stopping, however, it is far from perfect. The rapid growth of these e-commerce giants has caused large centralization issues such as the misuse of power, unfair pricing, hidden costs and data abuse. The problem lies not with the e-commerce giants themselves for they are just running a traditional business looking to maximize profits. The problem stems from profit maximizing behavior which persuades large companies to extort their users This mindset. is an inherent and trending problem that occurs in companies which are built on centralized models. Blockchain has presented a technology that, if designed and employed impeccably, will channel the growth of a platform to benefit all users, not just the central party running the show. https://medium.com/@apolloxnetwork/blockchain-is-the-future-of-e-commerce-we-apollox-are-getting-a-jump-start-5958a827fc8b

Is Open Source an Open Book at ECC?https://blog.goodaudience.com/is-open-source-an-open-book-at-ecc-5c2e7b61166fSome days it feels like excitement, and on others it feels a little more like anxiety. In truth, the two emotions are quite similar and are often confused. The indications of both emotions are a faster beating heart, spikes in cortisol, and a preparedness for action. The key difference between excitement and anxiety is that excitement is driven by a positive outlook on the future. Anxiety, well it’s driven by fear of the unknown. Bouncing between these two emotions is natural when a lot is on the line. And this is certainly the case for many ECC community members. From our community survey back in April, we discovered that more than half of our community have the majority of their coin holdings in ECC.
