Now that we’re in a bull market and seeing Bitcoin and Ether regaining lost ground, is it possible that the second place crypto could eventually overtake the reigning leader? While it may seem farfetched at this point, especially with Bitcoin approaching $9k and ETH sitting just shy of $300, there are some key points that could…

Best IEO To Follow

Since the first ICO was launched back in 2013 by Mastercoin (now known as Omni), billions of dollars have been raised by various ICOs. Just last year alone there were 1247 ICOs that raised over $7,500,000,000. Until this year, ICOs were the main source of fundraising for blockchain projects. Leaving those inexperienced in fundraising to fight among themselves for the attention of investors. However, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) have the same…

Bitcoin vs USD For Storing Value Purposes

Individuals work hard to earn their currency. Their currency earned can be fiat currencies such as Venezuelan bolivars, United States dollars, Argentine pesos, euros, or even bitcoin.

While at this point it would be virtually impossible to eradicate guns in this country, and not something I would support anyway, it’s clearly evident that we have to do something to protect our children and neighbors. Tweets and press conferences sending “thoughts and prayers” from the President, law enforcement, and other government leaders has become synonymous with inaction and almost a sense of complacency.
