[Is NEM one of the good coins to hold during this altseason? And should we buy more?]

NEM coin’s recent market momentum has astounded many in the market. The currency has been holding the current position strong from over a couple of days and looks like it might continue the same. The heavy pick and drop might affect the coin but not substantially.

According to recent news, NEM has invested in SharpShark. The company is a Symbol-powered time-stamping service provider that protects the creator(s)’ copyrights. SharpShark also allows the tokenization and transfer of intellectual property along with the auto-monitoring of violations.

SharpShark aims to diagnose plagiarism, remove copyright infringement to give users complete control over their respective creations. Ultimately, the service allows the users to experience an equitable decentralized option for safeguarding intellectual property.

As for their upcoming platform Symbol from NEM they have enabled "to" exchanges for $XEM. It means, now you can swap $XEM with 96 different coins in both ways.

Is NEM one of the good coins to hold during this altseason? And should we buy more?

Bank of Lithuania wanted to celebrate the 1918 Act of Independence and the innovative role the 20 original signatories played in the creation and development of the Lithuanian state.  At the same time, the Bank wanted to progress the Central bank’s understanding and use of virtual currencies, providing greater depth of understanding in numismatics and engaging younger citizens in coin collecting using elements of gamification and play.

To celebrate the Act of Independence of 16 February 1918 and its 20 signatories, the Bank of Lithuania, through LBCoin, is issuing 24,000 blockchain-based digital tokens and 4,000 physical silver collector coins.

It's happening!! We can see more countries and banks actually seeing the benefit of cryptocurrency and blockchain as a whole, do you guys think that we'll be seeing more of these?

Amidst all these chaos in the world, its great to see projects still raising money in the crypto space.

2KEY public round is the last stage before the listing and IEO on May 12th. 6.6M 2KEY will be sold, the goal of this round is $400K, and participation is with ETH. More details here and to participate.

Will we see more startups be supported by the community before and after halvening?

Blockchain firm AVA Labs acquired private investment platform Investery to further expand its operations.

Acquiring Investery will expand AVA Labs’ capabilities in managing private financial assets. The acquired firm provides a platform that assists investors in researching, managing and transacting in private markets while also helping issuers create new private financial assets. Furthermore, the solution includes multiple marketplaces, allowing investors to see their full inventory in one place.

Can other companies get successful if they do the same thing as what AVA did? I guess it will depend on the team to see how they use the funds effectively.

Will we ever get Blockchain to the Mainstream, or ever be in center of media and news? Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger system where transactions of various types between parties are recorded redundantly in a multiple of databases. The speed has been improved overtime but the important part about the system is to be secured. It was brought as a discussion during the Global Developer Conference and it's great to see these things being talked about.

Now the question is, will ever that time come?

Now that probably all of us are in quarantine, I'm looking for money in any way I can. AVA has just launched its DAP (Developer Accelerator Program) that allows users to participate and get compensated when finding bugs. Users can earn up to $50k and everyone is welcome to participate.

Probably the stakes are too high and too much people will be joining. People will need to think outside the box for these cases.
