  What Is Ethereum? Ethereum is a smart contract platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications (DApps) on its blockchain. Ether (ETH) is the native digital currency of the Ethereum platform. Ethereum is supported in part by the Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit that is part of the larger Ethereum ecosystem including enterprise Ethereum consortiums like the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance. How Does Ethereum Work? Vitalik Buterin first conceptualized Ethereum in 2013 with the idea of developing an open-source blockchain platform different from Bitcoin (BTC), thus pioneering smart contracts. On the Ethereum blockchain, a smart contract behaves like a self-operating computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. Blockchain allows smart contracts’ code to be run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. The Ethereum network went live on July 30, 2015, with 73 million Ether pre

  What Is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a completely decentralized digital cryptocurrency. Unlike US dollars that you can hold in your hand (or in your bank account), there is no central authority or centralized payment system controlling Bitcoin. Instead, Bitcoin operates in a peer-to-peer network that allows anyone in the world to send and receive Bitcoin without any middleman (like a bank, central bank or payment processor). Although there are thousands of cryptocurrencies ranked on CMC today, Bitcoin was the very first cryptocurrency ever created. On Oct. 31, 2008 a person (or group of people) under the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto” published the now-world famous  Bitcoin white paper . The first line reads: “A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash, which would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.” The Bitcoin network then launched on Jan. 3, 2009, marking the start of the cryptocurrency revolution.

  Over the past few weeks, Polkadot (DOT) has secured sixth place in the ranking of all cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, ahead of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Cardano (ADA). The road to get there was an eventful one. The cryptocurrency was listed on several exchanges, including Binance and Binance, at a price of around USD 3 on August 19. After the start of trading, DOT initially peaked at USD 5.75, whereupon an immediate reversal took place and the DOT price fell rapidly to as low as USD 2.50. The slump was followed by a period of consolidation, with DOT showing a steady upward trend. In the last week Polkadot's capitalization has risen by 120% and has taken sixth place in the ranking of all cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.   What makes Polkadot (DOT) so promising? One of the main reasons for Polkadot’s rapid rise in price could be the comparisons with Ethereum. The booming DeFi ecosystem, which is primarily based on Ethereum, has le

  Telos , a fork of open-source EOS that claims to be one of the most active blockchain platforms in the world (according to   Blocktivity  and   CryptoDiffer) , says that no-code DApp development platform   Katalyo   will be using the Telos blockchain to tokenize real estate in Croatia. According to a release from Telos, the tokenized property has an approximate value of €30 million. Telos claims that several individual portfolios will be tokenized with investors receiving dividends via stablecoins generated from rental revenue. Two tokens are expected to be issued, one representing ownership of the real estate, and the second a stablecoin for dividend payouts. Katalyo will facilitate the process including managing investor purchases, along with necessary KYC/AML processes and the ability to sell the securities. Douglas Horn , Chief Architect of the Telos Blockchain, said we are at the dawn of a tokenization revolution regarding property investment: “Telos has been building tool-sets

  Brave Browser and all other Brave Inc associated products require the consent of their users before ads or other sponsored content is shown to them. Many Brave community members may see this as a positive step towards data protection and privacy. However, this consent system is far more critical to Brave than you might think. Without the consent of users, Brave wouldn't be allowed to show ads at all. Why? because Brave doesn't own the content. Brave Browser shows ads when people use it to browse the web. The content or websites people visit are not owned by Brave. Hence, it is illegal for Brave to show ads in them. If Brave shows ads without user consent, the content producers will sue Brave and forcibly shut it down. In fact, some publishers tried to shut Brave down even before it could materialize. Wired  reported on April, 2016 : Earlier this year, Eich's company Brave Software unveiled a browser that automatically blocks third-party ads and blocking scripts. Such a to

  Robonomics’ lifetime subscription token is trading for close to six-figures on Uniswap. The highly-anticipated launch of Polkadot’s (DOT) mainnet has seen many smaller crypto assets associated with the project explode recently. Both tokens of the distributed ledger technology (DLT)-powered robotics and Internet-of-Things (IoT) project Robonomics have been among those to surge alongside Polkadot, with the price of its utility token XRT increasing 10 times earlier this month. However, Robonomics’ “lifetime subscription token,” Robonomics Web Services (RWS), has also posted massive gains — becoming the first crypto token to trade for more than $100,000 when it tagged $116,000 in recent weeks. RWS’s extreme price owes to the token’s minute supply, with only 50 coins currently circulating from a maximum supply of just 100 tokens. While the first 50 tokens were distributed via the XRT/RWS pairing on Uniswap, the remaining coins have been “reserved for academia and non-profit organizations.

  In addition to the Indian P2P market surging in recent months, the country’s DeFi sector has been gaining momentum. Even as  fears of another blanket ban  on India’s digital asset market linger on, peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading within the Asian powerhouse is still surging, hitting all-time highs over the first week of August.  This immense growth was initially spurred by the Supreme Court’s unequivocal decision earlier in March 2020 to repeal an unconstitutional circular imposed by the Reserve Bank of India  forbidding local banks and various financial institutions  from providing services to crypto exchanges and investors. According to data aggregated by peer-to-peer Bitcoin ( BTC ) marketplaces Paxful and Localbitcoins, weekly trading volumes in India have been gaining ground consistently since April. For example, during the first week of August, BTC’s local trade quota stood at $4.4 million, a sharp increase from the $1.52 million weekly trade volume that was witnessed during the f

  Bitcoin’s latest price drop has a silver lining – it has forced out weak hands in the derivatives market and potentially opened the doors for a more sustainable rally to recent highs.  The top cryptocurrency by market value fell by over 3.5% to levels near $11,100 on Tuesday, according to CoinDesk’s   Bitcoin Price Index . The price drop triggered sell liquidations, the forced unwinding of long trades, worth nearly $50 million in perpetuals (futures with no expiry) listed on cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, according to data source   Skew. “The positives of last night's move was that it cleared out a lot of the weak leverage longs,” Singapore-based QCP Capital said in a Telegram post, in reference to the perpetuals liquidations.  “Weak longs” is the term used to describe traders lacking confidence or resources to hold assets for the long haul. Usually, it’s the retail crowd that exits the market or is forced out on minor price dumps or pumps. Markets often shake out weak hands wit
