"Bitcoin and other similar currencies may be best suited as speculative assets, but they do not represent the full expression of the crypto ecosystem. Stablecoins, a specific type of cryptocurrency that, as the name indicates, prioritize stability by aligning their value with another asset like dollars, gold, or other resources, offer a more practical option for the unbanked. Libra eschews each of these categories, choosing instead to base its value off of a basket of global currencies and low-volatility securities that will give the currency both a unique valuation and a reliable price. Of course, Libra isn’t carving out its own niche in the crypto space. The stablecoin market already features several players that are creating unique takes on the stablecoin initaitve, all in an effort to bolster the usability of digital currencies around the world."

"Blockchain technology is among the most disruptive forces of the past decade. Blockchain’s power to record, enable, and secure huge numbers and varieties of transactions raises an intriguing question: can the same distributed ledger technology that powers bitcoin also enable better execution of strategic projects in a conservative sector like construction, involving large teams of contractors and subcontractors and an abundance of building codes, safety regulations, and standards?"

Speaking to Yahoo Finance a few weeks back, Thomas Lee, a co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, noted that the launch of Facebook’s Libra, Donald Trump’s mention of the cryptocurrency space, overall institutional involvement, and further macroeconomic unrest could help Bitcoin in reaching the $20,000 to $40,000 range by the end of the year. He elaborates: “Bitcoin is now trading at a level that it’s only seen 3% of its historical days. If you go back to every milestone that that was achieved, bitcoin subsequently rallied somewhere between 200% to 400% within the next four months, so I think if that’s playing out this time that means bitcoin could be $20,000 to $40,000 sometime in the fourth quarter.” Taken from the article: Prominent Investor on Why Bitcoin Can Hit $20,000 by Year’s End Read it by going to: https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/07/28/prominent-investor-on-why-bitcoin-can-hit-20000-by-years-end/Follow us to support our project: https://twitter.com/COINsistentShow ❤

"In commercial real estate, Amsterdam-based HerenBouw is applying blockchain to a large-scale development project in Amsterdam harbor. According to Propulsion Consulting founder Marc Minnee, HerenBouw’s objective was to set up a blockchain-enabled project management system to make the building development lifecycle more efficient. Minnee’s blockchain application for HerenBouw focused on registering transactions at legally binding moments, where accuracy and an audit trail are essential. “Blockchain provides a platform for clearly cascading work products down the chain and holding everyone accountable for completing key tasks,” Minnee said."

"Fortunately, the growth of value-backed stablecoins now makes it possible for everyday citizens to ensure they can protect their wealth from the threats of economic collapse. Hopefully blockchain is bringing us closer to a time where no one need fear the ruin that corrupt regimes and leaders can have to a nation’s economy. Blockchain innovation is leading us to a time when, with the click of a button, all citizens of the world will have the opportunity to invest in real-world stores of value at the click of a button, all made possible by the innovation of stablecoins."

"One of the greatest benefits of blockchain is that it empowers communities to create its own solutions and incentivization systems, rather than looking toward a higher centralized power. If harnessed in the right way, blockchain can unlock ‘natural capital’ in communities, particularly in the context of the environment, where the problem of global commons is most prevalent. By creating transparency and reward-based systems, new technology can create widespread change, perhaps bypassing the challenge of converting climate skeptics."

"Describing itself as “A simple global currency and financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people,” Libra is attracting significant attention from crypto enthusiasts, mainstream financers, and curious onlookers alike. While some are debating Libra’s role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, others are intrigued by its intended use case. Libra is targeting the 1.7 billion people around the world who are unbanked, meaning that they don’t have access to the financial institutions that have defined the modern banking movement."

"The African region is ripe for the adoption of blockchain in the area of digital payments. The M-Pesa mobile payment system has been operating in Kenya since 2007. It enables users to send payments to one another via a text message, using their cellphone SIM card as a store of credit. It quickly caught on to become the go-to means of making payments and was credited with lifting two percent of Kenya’s population out of poverty. M-Pesa has since rolled out to other developing countries. This only underscores the critical role that blockchain will play in helping future generations exist outside of poverty. Like M-Pesa, cryptocurrencies provide a similar means of payment for the unbanked." Taken from the article: Diamonds Used to be Africa's Curse — Could Blockchain Make Them into Africa's Cure?

"In 2018, Facebook banned advertisements involving cryptocurrency or initial coin offerings to combat the proliferation of scams and bogus ICOs cropping up as the price of Bitcoin soared. Over the last few months, Facebook has been softening the ban in the run up to the announcement of Libra—and it appears scammers are taking advantage. Libra scams may not help Facebook convince lawmakers and regulators that it can protect user privacy and prevent the digital currency from being used in criminal activity. Facebook has already eroded the trust of both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill after scandals involving the spread of disinformation and a failure to safeguard user data."

"In the decade since the 2008 financial crisis, the monetary system has changed tremendously. Once unshakable pillars of the industry no longer exist, and new financial instruments, like digital currencies, have become more accessible. At its peak, Bitcoin and hundreds of other digital currencies achieved a market cap of nearly $800 billion. But despite a well-publicized price drop, these tokens continue to be popular investment vehicles in the digital age. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they are fulfilling their purpose. Bitcoin was initially intended to serve as a borderless, decentralized currency that could facilitate commerce in the digital age. However, it’s erratic valuations, and broad speculative interest has made it more akin to digital gold than to usable currency."

"diamDEXX has leveraged Microsoft Azure’s reliability and secure solutions to develop the diamDEXX wallet. This wallet enables users to trade using DIAM, the first stable token 100% backed by physical diamonds –the world’s most precious and stable physical asset. DIAM is based on the Ethereum ERC-20 protocol which promotes security and transparency. The ERC-20 protocol also enables diamDEXX to use smart-contracts that embed predetermined rules, allowing users to redeem their DIAM to purchase physical diamonds at the best market price, creating an immutable shared ledger across the entire diamantaire network. In fact, DIAM allows users to choose between 7,000 diamond manufacturers and over 800,000 fully-certified stones."

"North Korea has raised an astonishing $2 billion from launching cyberattacks on banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, according to reports. The money was used to fund the nation’s purchase of military weapons, a leaked draft United Nations report states. According to the report submitted to the Security Council committee last week, the widespread and “increasingly sophisticated” attacks saw North Korean hackers stealing funds and attempting to launder the stolen money. This allegedly took place under the direction of the nation’s military intelligence agency The General Bureau."
