  1. The one who controls private key and seed phase will control the whole Crypto market and even all mankind money in the future. You can soar your wealth by understanding the Crypto knowledge at its core. It is never too late to learn again from the beginning to build your undestructible foundation to avoid regretful mistakes. Sharing # 3: A. Private key (Seed phase)! An Achilles heel of the Cryptocurrency. B. How to protect yourself in the Cryptocurrency market full of security risks. Sharing # 1: All hardware wallets or cold wallets may not be as safe as you think! Sharing # 2: The root causes of losing all your money in both hot wallets and cold wallets. ========================================================================= [b]Warning:[/b] My sharing post may make some people or groups unhappy. Therefore, this post may get deleted or made hidden. If you find that this post is helpful to you, you should save it in your note or a Word document to read again later. As you read your note over and over again, I believe that you could understand Cryptomarket secrets better and benefit more from them. You could share this note to your friends and investor fellows without mentioning my name. I just want more and more of you to get away from crypto security risks without earning credits for my sharing. Before going into detail, I would like to introduce a bit about my investing profile and me. I live in Texas, USA. My strategy is a long tem value investing approach in both stock market and Crypto market. I have stock investment accounts at Robinhood, IBKR, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Webull. In addition, I am trading and storing coins/cryptocurrecies at Coinbase Pro, Kucoin, Gate, Crypto App, CoinEx, Lbank, Bittrex, and Gemini. I have been using hot wallets from some big names including Trust wallet, Metamask, Crypto wallet, Coinbase wallet, and Safepal wallet. For cold wallet, I am using Safepal. Let’s get started. ========================================================================= [b]Terminology definitions: [/b] * Private key is like a password - a string of letters and numbers - that allows you to access and manage your crypto funds. A private key is a 256-bit number, which can be represented one of several ways. The example below is a private key in hexadecimal - 256 bits in hexadecimal is 32 bytes, or 64 characters in the range 0-9 or A-F (e.g., E9873D79C6D87DC0FB6A5778633389F4453213303DA61F20BD67FC233AA33262). A private key is not really human readable and memorizable, and you definitely don’t want to store your private key in a computerized form like in your computer or your phone for security reasons. Another option to store your Crypto account access information is to write down your private key in a piece of paper. This way is also not recommended because only one mis-spelled letter will make you lose your account access and your money. This is why seed pharse, a more human-readable form of password, was introduced. * Seed phrase comes with many names. A seed phrase, seed recovery phrase or backup seed phrase is a list of words which store all the information needed to recover Cryptocurrency wallets. Your seed phrase is a mnemonic code consisting of 12-24 words that is used to recover your cryptocurrency wallet (e.g., witch collapse practice feed shame open despair creek road again ice least). Wallet software will typically generate a seed phrase and instruct the user to write it down on paper. If the user's computer breaks or their hard drive becomes corrupted, they can download the same wallet software again and use the paper backup to get their coins back. * Difference between a private key and a seed phrase: Private keys allow you to send or spend your cryptocurrencies - they’re algorithmically derived from the long string of numbers represented by your seed phrase. Your seed phrase gives you access to your wallet and all the private keys in the wallet. You can think of a crypto wallet as being like a password manager for your crypto - as long as you have your master password (the seed phrase) you have access to all the associated crypto. [b]*** IMPORTANT:[/b] No matter if it was your private key or your seed phrase that were revealed by a hacker, you would lose your cryptocurrencies in your wallet(s). This is because when someone knows your seed phrase or recovery phrase, he will definitely has access to your wallet and can retrieve your private key to steal any coins. Under the scope of this sharing and my next sharings, I will use private key and seed phrase interchangably because the core story beside losing your cryptos inside your wallet(s) is that your private key was revealed to someone else, either via losing your private key or the seed recovery phrase. ========================================================================= [b]Sharing #3: [/b] After investing in both stocks and crypto for a while, I learned that investing in crypto brought me a very interesting experience as it has many features far beyond what stocks can do. Crypto is one of the technologies for the future, but I have to admit that it comes with cons in which the worst one is the security risk. Storing cryptocurrencies is super risky that many investors may lose all their money because the private key that they trust to protect their money is actually not as powerful and safe as it need to be. I have shared about this topic briefly in my two previous posts. If you haven’t read them, I am highly recommend you to read, save and read again to fully understand all my points. Let go slow and safe, be suspicious and wiser in your cyptocurrency investment and management or your money will be stolen sooner or later. [b]A. Private key (Seed phase)! An Achilles heel of the Cryptocurrency.[/b] Scenario: A Cypto exchange platform has a hot wallet with 1,000 different coins. One day, this platform was attacked because of any possible reasons, and the private for the hot wallet above was stolen. Right at the moment when the exchange’s staff and management team realized a potential fraud that some coins were transferring to a suspicious wallet, they could not stop these activities. This is because there are no such options like changing the wallet private key to stop the transfers or utilize 2-step authentication to avoid these stealing transfers. The best thing they could do to minimize their final lost was to quickly transfer all the remaining coins from that wallet to another one. The faster they acted, the more coins they could save. If they were too slow, the wallet’s balance would be a big zero. Good luck next time! You might have heard and read about many big Crypto exchange platforms experiencing hundred-million-dollar attacks recently. How do you think about this? Is this because those platforms do not have a good security system? I don’t think so. Those big platforms should have many big brains to stop hackers from stealing millions of dollars that easily. Now it’s your turn. Think about this situation and you can find the answer from my sharing above. [b]B. How to protect yourself in the Cryptocurrency market full of security risks. [/b] As far as I know, there is no secured way to protect you 100% from losing your coins in Crypto market. Therefore, I can only propose some suggestions (60-70% protection power) that may be optimal for now (before the new security technologies is developed) to save you from losing all your coins B1. Critical Rule: Trade and store crypto in decentralized mode. Don’t put all your coins in one basket but utilize many coin storage devices/platforms: + Hardware wallets: Use wallets under good brand names. I highly recommend buying wallets directly from the official websites (don’t buy from eBay for similar stores): Ledge, Trezor, Safepal… If you don’t have a huge value of coins, it’s okay to use only one hardware wallet. But if you think your coin values may cost your fortune, please use more hardware wallets, one wallet per brand (e.g., 1 Ledge wallet, 1 Trezor wallet, and 1 Safepal wallet). Overal security score: 6-7 out of 10. When you start using a hardware wallet, you should write down your private key and all 12-word/24-word phrases to a small piece of paper or note, then cover the paper piece with clear tape to protect it and for long term use. Make another copy with paper and tape if you don’t mind. Finally, store these paper pieces in a safe and secured place that only you know about it. Things to avoid: Do not share your private key to anyone and do not enter your private key in any websites. You should not store your private key electrically in your phone notes or computer so that none of the hackers and spies can find your private key anywhere. Side notes: When you perform factory reset on your hardware wallet, your wallet will have a new private key. The private key keeps changing every time you reset it. + Well-known and well-established Crypto Exchanges: Please research and read more about crypto exchange reviews at coinmarketcap or coingecko. It’s fine if you don’t have time for more research, you can read my research summary below. I already tested and was able to trade at the following crypto platforms/websites when I was in the U.S. I believe that you can do the same thing even when you are in a different country. Binance. com (Binance. us if you are in the U.S.): security score 7 out of 10. coinbase. com, Kucoin. com, Crypto. com: security score 7 out of 10. CoinEx. com, Lbank. info, bittrex. com, kraken. com: security score 6 out of 10. Right after you create your account/sign up at a Crypto exchange, register 2-step authentication and log out right away. You can log in again to see if the 2-step authentication works before you send your USDT/coins to that Crypto exchange. + Hot wallets or software wallets: E.g., Trust wallet, Metamask, Crypto wallet, Coinbase wallet. Overal security score: 4-5 out of 10 Please don’t store your top coins or valuable coins in this type of wallet. Store them in hardware wallets or in a well-known crypto exchange This type of wallet is more suitable for meme coins, or new coins that have not listed in any exchanges yet. Personally, I do not recommend this type of wallet because it is super risky. But if you really love trading via platforms like pancake swap, uni swap that using hot wallets is required, then you should know some ways to minimize your risk. I suggest you should use Safepal hardware wallet for swapping your coins every time you trade. It will take longer to trade this way because you will need to enter your PIN and scan your QR code to perform a trade. B.2. Realized gain and money withdrawal to bank. In this Crypto market full of risk, when you feel like your coins are very close to their peak and you are gaining x5, x10, … x100, it’s time to sell your coins, realize your gains, and withdraw your money to your bank. The amount you need to sell should be greater or equal to your initial investing amount. For the remaining amount, you are free to sell or keep them. You will never lose your money if these remaining coins’ value goes down one day. Always keep in mind that nothing is wrong when you realize your gain. You can do so many good things with money in your bank such as having fun with your family, helping your love ones and investing in another channel. B.3. Crypto is not safe enough to invest 100% of your money in yet. I personally recommend the investment portfolio with maximum of 20% your money in Cryptocurrecy. You can invest your remaining money somewhere else. Final note: Until a new security technology for Crypto private key is developed and introduced that is at a higher level of security with 2-step private key authentication or something similar, we can have peace of mind in this investment channel. For the current security technologies, I only rate it the security level of maximum 70% (the remaining 30% depends on who control the private key/seed phrase system). I think this 70% number an optimistic estimate because I hope the security issue will be fixed in a near future! Okay, this is the end of my sharing. Hope my sharing helps you more or less in your crypto investing path. ========================================================================= [b]Sharing # 1: All hardware wallets or cold wallets (e.g., Ledge, Trezor, and Safepal) may not be as safe as you think![/b] All the hardware wallets are merely a tool to create and store you private keys (or seed phase). They are not much different from hot wallets (wallets created with a software). When you buy a hardware wallet and starting using it, it will give you a seed recovery phrase (with 12, 18 or 24 words such as: apple, hot, cold, same, table, tree…). Then, it will ask you to create a PIN and connect your wallet to a software/app in your phone or computer using a QR code (or a USB or a Micro SD card depending on the wallet brand). In order to send a crypto to another wallet or to a crypto exchange, you will need to use your hardware wallet to do a lot of verification/confirmation such as entering your PIN and scanning a QR code. Do you feel that your wallet is safe by doing such steps above? Let’s imagine that you lost your hardware wallet (you couldn’t find where you keep it) and you still have your private key and/or your recovery phrase, all you need to do is to buy another hardware wallet with the same brand as your lost one to retrieve all your coins. This seems to be right, but not really. You need to know more things for making it right. For example, you own 1 BTC, 4 ETH, and 10 SOL, all stored very safely inside your hardware wallet. The private key that you created using a hardware wallet can be entered in any hot wallets (e.g., Metamask, Trust, crypto wallet, and Coinbase wallet) to do any transactions. You can send 1 BTC, 4 ETH, and 10 SOL to another wallet by just using a hot wallet without entering your PIN and scanning QR code using your hardware wallet. I have tested and confirmed that this is 100% possible. Do you feel like something is not right here? As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, all the hardware wallets are merely a tool to create and store you private keys, nothing more. Therefore, when a hacker knows your private key, good luck! You money will not totally vanish, it is in someone else’s wallet no matter you are using a hot or cold wallet. See you again in my sharing #2. ========================================================================= [b]Sharing # 2: The root causes of losing all your money in both hot wallets (hardware wallets) and cold wallets (software wallets)[/b] Have you ever wonder why all your coins disappear from your wallet one day even though you store your private key (and/or seed phase) very carefully (never tell anyone, and never enter in any websites), and your computer is protected with expensive paid anti-virus program, and your phone is also highly protected and safe. If you have ever experienced this, or you are afraid that you may experience this, my sharing below is for you. As I saw so many crypto investors unreasonably lost their money in their hot and cold wallets, I am writing this post with the main purpose of sharing to more and more investor fellows to protect your money in this market full of security risks. I am not planning to scare you or persuade you to stop investing in Cryptocurrency because I, myself, a big fan of Crypto. 1. Hotware wallets or software wallets were created with a software. Examples of hotware wallets are Trust wallet, Metamask, Crypto wallet, Coinbase wallet, Safepal wallet, … When you create a new wallet, the software from one of the wallet creators above will give you a private key. The most common private key is generated in conjunction with the recovery 12-word or 24-word phrase (such as: apple, hot, cold, same, table, tree…). Along with sending you your private key and the 12-word or 24-word phrase, the software also send these key and phrase to its managed server. And this server and its admin know your private key and your wallet address without doubt. I trust most of the wallet creators’ staffs who are supposed not to use your information for their personal purpose. Yes, most of them, not all of them. You may not be their potential prey until one day when your coin values grow to catch their attentions. 2. Cold wallets or Hardware wallets: E.g., Ledge, Trezor, Safepal... When you start using a cold wallet and connect it to the apps in your phone or computer using a QR code, an USB or a Micro SD card, the wallet creator software will decode your wallet’s encrypted information back to get your private key. Then your wallet address and private key will be sent to its server. Hope you understand the root cause of losing your crypto at this point. P/S: It is your choice to believe me or not. But please don’t trust anything that seems to be free for you. Bonus information: A private key that was created from a hot wallet (Trust wallet) can be used in any other platforms (e.g., Metamask, Crypto wallet, Coinbase wallet, …) and in a cold wallet without any issues. And vice versa, private keys from a cold wallet can be use in a hot wallet. See you again in my sharing #3.
  2. Since the bulls are strong bearish pressure from a long time, the bulls are gradually buckle down to in favour of XRP. Taking into account the long-term, weekly chart, the XRP price is repeatedly heading lower to test the crucial trend line for the very first time in the past 4 years. However, in the past, the price tested these levels and surged very high with a rebound to mark highs above $3.5. At present, when the exact price movement is expected to occur, a rebound may increase the price beyond $4 to mark new highs.
  3. Bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency, has been trading at less than $20,000 for quite some time. As of press time, BTC is trading at $19,887 with a market worth of $380 billion. According to the most recent development, a Bitcoin whale address became active for the first time in nine years and transferred 5,000 Bitcoins worth $100 million to cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. Citing data from OKLink, a famous crypto reporter Colin Wu stated that the Bitcoin whale address (18xGHNrU26w6HSCEL8DD5o1whfiDaYgp6i) transferred out 5000.01 BTC to the Kraken on September 5th, which is currently worth nearly $100 million. In 2013, the wallet was created, and bitcoins were transmitted to this address. Bitcoin has remained under pressure following last week's US unemployment statistics. For the ninth consecutive day, Bitcoin has traded below $20,000, but still over $19,511, its then-record peak from December 2017. The December 2017 high may provide critical support for Bitcoin in the future. On September 4, Gavekal Research released a research indicating that “the Fed is also 'burning' money (a.k.a. quantitative tightening) to restore the US dollar's credibility. This is a huge disadvantage for all cryptocurrencies.” Bitcoin Lightning Capacity Hit New ATH Last week, the capacity of the Bitcoin Lightning Network reached an all-time high of around 5,000 Bitcoins. The Lightning Network is the Bitcoin network's Layer-2 scaling solution, making transactions quicker and cheaper. Interestingly, Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy has been trying to enroll a large number of Lightning Network subscribers. On Saturday, September 3, Saylor described Lightning as the most significant thing happening in the world of technology when speaking at the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Riga, Latvia. He went on to say that MicroStrategy is currently working on enterprise Lightning applications such as enterprise Lightning wallets, enterprise Lightning servers, and enterprise authentication. This stage, he claims, will enable businesses to "roll out Lightning to a hundred thousand employees per day." According to Saylor, it would also be able to open 10 million Lightning wallets overnight. Read also: BlackRock will index the price of Bitcoin (BTC)
  4. iRocket AR (www.irocket.io) app is geo-based mobile game with play-to earn system that allows players to start playing and earning without any initial fee. The game is powered by Polygon protocol and a framework. Players will be able to take advantage of Polygon’s extremely low fees and transaction speed while also benefiting from Ethereum’s network effects. About game: Players are space astronauts who search, capture, collect, train, evolve, and battle Arties creatures. GPS is used to match the player’s real world location with the virtual world. When Artie appear in the virtual world, augmented reality (AR) is used to overlay the creature on the real-world viewed through a mobile camera. The player’s goal is to capture the Artie by using special ability. In game items can be collected from completing adventures. New Arties can be found by exploring different planets and joining co-op raids. Features of the game: 1. Lands: the plot in real world is divided in rectangle boxes which can be bought and used afterwards. 2. Events/Buildings: the game will have well-developed city models instead of “flat view”. The game will have live events and a system that enables to put headquarter building of other projects, which players can visit. 3. Tournaments/Esports: every season the game hosts tournaments where a % of in-game burning fees will go to tournaments fund the best performing clans will take the prize and will be granted special medallion. 4. Leaderboard: players will be able to get specific iRocket medals. There're 5 tiers within each medal, with tier 5 being the highest. As a player gets more or less wins during each day, he/she win/lose a tier rank. Play and Earn at the same time: The players in the iRocket augmented reality world are empowered by blockchain technology and NFTs. Virtual tokens for digital scarcity, security, and authenticity are developing segments in the worldwide game market: 1. IRO Staking is the iRocket ecosystem's default money. Players receive newly created IRO if they lock up their tokens in the game and actively participate in the game by voting and playing regularly. 2. DUST is in-game coin. Required to find new creatures and participate in the game adventures events and battles. 3. NFT-Crypto. Buy and sell NFTs creatures, items, planets in the iRocket Marketplace: stocking digital goods and paraphernalia backed by the Polkadot. 4. Marketplace is an asset trading environment to buy assets or to sell them to other players. Earn money through collecting resources, items, and Arties in the game.
  5. Hello all, I mentioned in another thread that given I work for BofA I have the fortunate luxury in accessing our research team's material on pretty much everything. More recently, BofA have created a series labelled "Digital Money Series" which largely focus on Fintech in particular how it can disrupt existing business or general status quo. Before I share anything, the research team is independent to the general enterprise of the company so anything that is mentioned in the research is likely to have little influence. It's more for information catered towards clients to become more educated (at least that's how I see it). The following points do not mention Ripple or XRP explicitly or contain information to alter your investment decisions. Like I said, this is purely informational. Do not take this as investment advice whatsoever. So far there are six issues, i'll be making a post of each issue. Digital money series #1: how did we get here? There is a real chance that 2021 sees the launch of a central bank digital currency (“CBDC”) from a developed economy. This would represent a radical change to money, banking and commerce. There seems to be growing support for a retail CBDC from central banks and regulators. The EU has set out an increasingly detailed timetable for a CBDC – feedback process ending in January 2021, decision on whether to conduct a full trial by mid 21 – and accompanied this with increasingly positive reports on the topic. The UK’s Bank of England has also published some fairly upbeat commentary about CBDC, seemingly embracing the radical reshaping of finance this could bring about. The list of positive central bank commentary has recently been swelled by ECB and BofE. The ECB seems to like a CBDC because it is worried about: 1. continually declining use of cash – something COVID has hastened, 2. private sector digital currencies such as Diem (aka Libra) and 3. The risk of the Euro being supplanted by CBDCs from third countries (especially China). CBDC seems to us to be highly likely to undermine existing retail banking franchises without generating any obvious offsets. So, should a digital Euro happen, we think that it would be negative for retail-focused European banks. Policy formation is a process, and there are many stages to go between where we are today (“we’re looking into it”) and issuing a CBDC (“we’re doing it”). However, we’ve been struck by the tone of the ECB, which has been becoming increasingly positive, we think. “Here” is a place where the ECB is in the midst of a “public consultation to seek feedback from people across Europe [about CBDC] and gain a better understanding of their needs. It will be completed in January, and the results will be published once they have been analysed.” This is according to ECB Executive Board member Fabio Panetta: This all sounds good – efficiency, safety, choice, costless payments. What’s not to like? In particular, he talks about the potential for big techs to become major players in payment – he (Fabio Panetta) seems to be against this. “If not properly regulated, big techs may pose considerable risks from an economic and social perspective and they may restrict, rather than expand, consumer choice.” This view is one we discussed in detail in “Don’t fear the Libra” (18th November 2019), and we think it may be hard for big tech to move regulators on from it. We talk a bit later about the boarder landscape for CBDCs, but the Bank of China has taken considerable steps towards a digital currency (a “digital Yuan”). According to various reports, the Bahamas has beaten them to it, with their “Sand Dollar”, a digital currency backed one for one by the Bahamian Dollar. He (Fabio Panetta) also points out that cards used across Europe rely on “agreements with international card schemes. As a result, people mostly use international schemes for cross-border card payments, and the European market for card payments is dominated by non-European schemes.” Presumably, this includes MasterCard and Visa. He says: “a digital euro would need to be carefully designed, in order to enhance privacy in digital payments [and] respect the rules on countering illegal activities.” A CBDC would be a better place to park cash than a commercial bank account. It has a lower risk profile, for a start. Granted, Euro deposits up to €100,000 are guaranteed by the various national central banks, but a CBDC has two benefits over guaranteed deposits: • It cuts out the entity in the middle – your risk is directly that of the ECB. • It replaces the national sovereign as lender of last resort with the ECB itself. This arguably isn’t much of a credit upgrade if you’re German, but it would be if you were a citizen of many European countries. We have discussed this already, with Mr Panetta. There is an understandable fear that if a region did not develop a CBDC, it could risk being left out when faced by the unstoppable march of the Sand Dollar or the Digital Yuan. Our view is that this is a matter than could be addressed by regulation. We note that the US Fed doesn’t seem to be in the vanguard of central banks looking at CBDCs, suggesting they do not fear this outcome. Diem (the artist formerly known as Libra); We note that as well as Mr Panetta, Libra is explicitly mentioned by Andrew Haldane, in a recent speech on innovations in payments. He said: This is more scene setting than justifying a CBDC – the whole speech is fairly discursive – but Diem/Libra is clearly there in Mr. Haldane’s thinking. Mr Haldane addresses directly the broader systemic impacts of CBDC. Lastly, the fears about “narrow banking” are precisely our key fear about CBDC. Narrow banking’s key tenets are as follows: • Banks would be able to lend using depositors' money only after the depositors themselves choose to transfer their money to designated "lending" accounts that will be regarded as "risky" accounts (similar to mutual funds). Otherwise, depositors' money will be kept as liquid cash or deposited with the central bank. Mr. Haldane’s response to this worry is in our view extremely important. And he’s right. If you split deposit taking form lending, you don’t have to worry anything like as much about the systemic impact of a deposit-taker facing bankruptcy, because assuming it didn’t engage in fraud or other malfeasance, it’s very hard to see how it could happen. From a supervisory point of view, life would be easier, as you would have to question whether all the rules intended to make sure that Governments don’t have to action their various deposit guarantee schemes would be necessary. Mr Haldane’s speech is significant because it suggest that a CBDC might form part of a radical approach to the banking industry. This worries us, but it adds an important plank to the central bank discussion of CBDC. The ECB’s approach seems to be to try to limit the impact of a CBDC on the incumbents. Mr Haldane approaches it from a different angle, considering CBDC as potentially an agent of change for the banking sector.

  10. It’s been a long time coming, but I think we are on the cusp of Polysign revealing what they've been up to for the past three years. We got confirmation December of last year that Polysign was in early Beta and would be going live in 2020. Also, it looks like there are design changes in order with respects to the webpage. Most of us know Polysign to be a digital asset custodial service/infrastructure platform as David’s answer to a question he fielded from a student at the University of Texas indicates. Going back a few years, we had our first indication, at the end of 2017, that Ripple would be taking the much-needed steps to begin building the necessary “market infrastructure” (i.e. custody and financial hedging instruments) needed to entice more institutional participation. According to Ripple this “market infrastructure” is needed to grow/stabilize the crypto markets overall but more importantly, to help with XRP. Miguel Vias, Head of XRP Markets commented in the last paragraph of Ripple’s Q4 XRP Markets Report for 2017: “While customers can use XRP for on-demand liquidity through xRapid, we want to build the necessary markets infrastructure for eventual direct usage of XRP by financial institutions. In Q1, we’ll begin work towards the launch of institutional hedging instruments and custody solutions. Both of these market components are important to institutional adoption and thus are important components of our 2018 roadmap.” On a Credit Suisse panel discussion (03:20 – 05:07), Miguel Vias alluded to the fact that you can’t build a vibrant crypto ecosystem with institutional players (i.e. hedge funds & investment banks) without first solving for custody or the safeguarding of these digital/crypto assets. Once you do this, you allow for the development of prime brokerage firms, lending, and hedging instruments (i.e. Derivatives, Options, Futures, ETFs, etc). Just recently, I happen to stumble upon a couple of interesting Tweets from @Arturo_P_A, Tweet One from February and Tweet Two from yesterday. In the first, @Arturo_P_A offers his opinions regarding the synergistic relationship he believes will develop between Ripple and Polysign. In particular, around on-boarding ODL-based exchanges, conflict-of-interest around XRP custody for these ODL exchanges and Ripple, and new use cases. What really piqued my interest is what @Arturo_P_A reveals in the second Tweet. It looks as if we have confirmation of one of Polysign’s first customers or maybe a subsidiary of Polysign, Standard Custody & Trust Company. It appears that Polysign has submitted a request for a custodial charter license in New York that was still pending as of February 6th 2020. Assuming that Standard Custody will, in some way, shape, form, or fashion, have some affiliation with Ripple it made me think about a couple of @KarmaCoverage Medium posts: What could xPool be? An attempted guess How xPool may work? An attempted guess It seems to me that Ripple now have the necessary foundational infrastructure in place to get escape velocity needed to truly execute their IoV vision: RippleNet - for the transference of value Interledger Protocol - for seamless connectivity and interoperability between di-separate traditional financial/blockchain-based systems/platforms Codius – for agnostic smart contract development for DeFi products Polysign – digital asset custody.

  16. Freldo https://freldo.com - a friendly social network forms and promotes the idea of business development through recommendations, exchange of feedback and information between participants. The founders of the project have developed an effective mechanism for functioning within the network. Users can easily find the products and services they are interested in using a convenient search engine with various filters (rating, price, location, category), have the opportunity to invite friends through other social networks, messengers and mail-agents, and the business gets cheap and effective advertising in the circle of a huge number of friends and acquaintances. At the same time, everyone gets their benefit from the service: Customers receive: · high quality and tested other members of the services, · privileges and bonuses, due to referral reward system. Business: · new customers, · advertising. The network has gained popularity among a large number of users in a short time, held a successful ICO https://ico.freldo.com/ and came out with own currency FRECNX on the cryptocurrency exchange BCEX https://www.bcex.hk/trade/frecnx_eth. This is the Chinese exchange, which occupies a fairly strong and stable position in capitalization at CoinMarketCap (15th place). The trading platform supports more than 50 types of digital assets. The Exchange constantly increases trading volumes, holds a high position rating and actively develops its technological potential in the world of cryptoeconomics. The strong position of the BCEX platform https://www.bcex.hk in the stock market cryptocurrency, currency availability and stablecoins, rarely found on large trading floors, attracts cryptocurrency traders who work for the future, develop the capabilities of their investment portfolio and look for new tools for additional earnings. The FRECNX currency https://www.bcex.hk/trade/frecnx_eth is very interesting for potential investors, that the price index of the token in comparison with the previously held ICO increased 2 times (0,8 $ versus 0,4 $). This position on the token exchange is justified by the fact that it’s based on real business, which has a significant growth rate, introduces innovative solutions in its activities. The token is actively traded on the stock exchange, tends to grow and has excellent future prospects, as the developers are not going to stop there and will improve their work, expand the geography of action. All this will only raise the rating of the cryptocurrency and cost of the company itself.

  21. This is from last month published by the Cato Institute... it seems like a thoughtful and and in-depth exposition of a question that has been on all of our minds... (The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization — a think tank — dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues.) https://www.cato.org/about Should Cryptocurrencies Be Regulated like Securities? By Diego Zuluaga June 25, 2018 https://www.cato.org/publications/cmfa-briefing-paper/should-cryptocurrencies-be-regulated-securities#full "Cryptocurrencies are a new and promising technology, the benefits of which remain little understood and hotly disputed. Policy uncertainty and ambiguous statements by financial regulators further complicate an assessment of the risks and rewards that ownership of this asset class can bring." "Yet, the answer is not to clamp down on cryptocurrencies. Volatility, as long as it is not caused by fraudulent or illegal market behavior, is not a regulatory concern. Rather, the goal of regulators should be to provide confidence in the stability of the regulatory framework by defining how cryptocurrencies fit within existing rules. Such regulatory certainty need not come at the expense of the accessibility of blockchain technology to firms and individuals."
  22. Here's a paper from the International Monetary Fund that I believe has been overlooked... from reading it we can certainly gather that the IMF does not think that the digital transformation is going away... The Long and Short of The Digital Revolution FINANCE & DEVELOPMENT, JUNE 2018 By MARTIN MÜHLEISEN (director of the IMF’s Strategy, Policy, and Review Department) http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2018/06/impact-of-digital-technology-on-economic-growth/muhleisen.htm "This digital transformation results from what economists who study scientific progress and technical change call a general-purpose technology—that is, one that has the power to continually transform itself, progressively branching out and boosting productivity across all sectors and industries. Such transformations are rare. Only three previous technologies earned this distinction: the steam engine, the electricity generator, and the printing press. These changes bring enormous long-term benefits." "But make no mistake—the digital revolution is well under way. In addition to transforming jobs and skills, it is also overhauling industries such as retailing and publishing and perhaps—in the not-too-distant future—trucking and banking."
  23. Google translate: https://www.rabobank.nl/particulieren/actueel/items/nieuwe-moonshot-ideeen-in-de-race https://www.rabobit.nl/ Quick summary of connections between Rabobank and Ripple I know about: Rabobank tested Ripple before, they are also researching a new Ripple product (26 jan 2018), they hired a blockchainexpert who did a case study about Ripple. Heimen Schuring, head of Channel Support & Payment Engine @ Rabobank knows about 'companies like Ripple' according to this article . Rough translation what Huls says about blockchain in this article, dated 30 may 2016: Imo overall Ripple / xrp usecase / fintech developments go way quicker than many people expected so keep that in mind with the above mentioned timeframe. Edit 26-04-2018: Rabobank has removed the article from their site and also took down the rabobit.nl site, but I can confirm it really was announced at rabobank.nl as part of Rabobank's internal Moonshot acceleration program. They clearly stated at that time: There is no official decision by Rabobank to introduce this yet.
