Ethereum on the rise assures Brian Kelly
CNBC’s very own ‘crypto baller’ Brian Kelly went on air and spoke about Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. He believes that ETH’s downward spiral is over. While BTC struggles to pull out of its nosedive, ETH will fare better, Kelly insists.

Kelly has identified three catalysts that makes him bullish on Ethereum.
🔹Ethereum Futures
🔹 Augur platform to be launched
🔹 PoS switch

Right after the SEC came out and said that Ethereum is not a security, the President of CBOE came out and said, that was a hurdle for us, launching Ethereum futures. Kelly feels that, since Ethereum Index is already around, Ethereum futures are not far off.

Next on the agenda is Augur, a decentralized oracle and prediction market platform. Kelly believes this will soon become the biggest dApp built on the Ethereum platform. So, if Augur doesn’t ‘slow the system down’, then it will be a positive for Ethereum.

Additionally, the fact that Ethereum is taking steps to move away from Proof of Work [PoS] and towards Proof of Stake [PoS], what Kelly terms as the switch from ‘hardware mining’, to ‘software mining’.

The high for Bitcoin coincided with the launch of Bitcoin futures. When asked if, with the launch of Ethereum futures in the works, should a similar worry be in the minds of investors, Kelly said that this might have been just a coincidence. Bitcoin hit a high, and then there was a sell-off, perhaps tax selling or bear market sentiment.

Kelly is positive that plenty of miners will continue mining, in the belief that the Bitcoin [BTC] prices will eventually go up, a sentiment shared among much of the Bitcoin community.

​​CRYPTOCARZ IS THE WORLD'S FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED VR RACING EXPERIENCE

CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.

To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.

Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.

WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.

Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way

THE CONCEPT

Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. To race in the game, a user will have to demonstrate ownership of a car that is modelled and stored as an ERC721 Ethereum token in the gamer’s private wallet. The car will then be loaded into the game via integration with MetaMask and other proprietary tools

The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

​​💥 Token Swaps How They Work

For users and investors, the degree of their involvement in the token migration process varies - typically according to where they store their tokens.

For those who store their tokens on exchanges, it is unlikely that they will have to take any steps to participate in the migration. Major exchange Binance, for example, says it handles "all technical requirements" of the process for the EOS, Tron, ICON and Ontology migrations.

San Francisco-based exchange Kraken also aims to reduce the difficulty of the process.

"We pause funding ahead of the transition, swap all the old coins for new and when we resume funding, all the old balances are for the new coins," Kraken co-founder and CEO Jesse Powell explained. "It's really as simple as that."

However, users who store their tokens in wallets may need to initiate the process manually.

More specifically, they must undergo token registration, also called "mapping," in order to send their tokens from the previous blockchain to the new network.

In practice, this process typically entails generating a project-specific key (for example, an EOS key) and sending tokens to it from the key address where the tokens were initially stored after purchase, prior to the mainnet launch (for example, an ethereum key).

Projects typically implement cut-off periods by which users must swap their tokens. In projects such as EOS, these are 'hard' deadlines after which tokens on the old blockchain will be "frozen" and inaccessible to users.

Other projects allow for open-ended migration.

Want to monetize your personal data you are producing every day anyway? How about selling it on the Opiria-Platform to companies worldwide and receive PDATA tokens in return that you can cash out for real money?

Why?
Because companies worldwide desperately need your personal data to understand your needs and requirements and to design better products and services that fuel desire. This is why personal data is the oil of the 21st century and a 250 billion USD/year industry. Today your personal data is being stolen from you by intermediaries and sold for big money to companies worldwide - and you get nothing in return.

We set out to change that. With Opiria-Platform & PDATA Token we make you and your data count! You own and control your personal data and Opiria-Platform enables you to exchange it with companies for PDATA tokens. You can sell your personal data such as your opinion about topics of interest, your feedback on how you use and like products and services, data about how you browse the internet, data from wearables and smart devices, smartphone usage, what you buy online and more … in return you receive PDATA Tokens that you can cash out for real money.

Who we are?

The data economy is broken. Large corporations hoard data for their own means, while small companies are left to pick from a collection of fragmented sources. This stalls innovation in frontier industries like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
At the same time, Data Vendors and Producers have little incentive to continue producing the authentic data these small companies need. This isn’t a sustainable model for the “new oil.”
Quadrant changes all that by providing a blueprint for mapping these decentralized data sources. Authenticity, provenance, compliancy, and fair compensation all rolled into a single protocol.
With Quadrant, everybody wins. Data Producers get compensated fairly every time their data is used, not just the first time it is sold. Data Vendors can prove ownership of their data products and earn status as a trusted supplier. Data Consumers get access to authentic and compliant data that they can use to power their data-driven businesses.
But where Quadrant really shines is the opportunity it provides the Elons of the world to solve global problems. Elons are the game-changers, the innovators that will find connections between diverse datasets that bring about fundamental changes in the way we live.
Quadrant is the future of authentic data. Get in on this revolutionary project while you can.

Quadrant is a blockchain-based protocol that enables the access, creation, and distribution of data products and services with authenticity and provenance at its core. The data economy is similar to space; unmapped and chaotic. Quadrant serves as the blueprint that provides an organized system for the utilization of decentralized data.

​​🔥 President of Xapo: Bitcoin Will Become The Global Reserve Asset
Ted Rogers, president of the cryptocurrency giant, Xapo, believes that Bitcoin will become a global reserve asset, similar to the role the U.S. dollar plays today.

Rogers further stated that he has “very little doubt about that one (price prediction)… It’s a question of when not if Bitcoin is going to become the global reserve asset for individuals, institutions, and governments. It is going to replace gold and it may also become a ubiquitous global currency.”

Long has Bitcoin been called “digital gold” and the aforementioned quote made by Ted Rogers has given even more credence to Bitcoin actually fulfilling the role as an online store of value. However, Rogers took it one step further, by saying that Bitcoin will replace traditional gold, an advantageous, but hopeful statement to say the least.

Such sentiment coming from such a large player in the cryptocurrency industry has inspired many. Xapo is one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency companies, as it now holds over $10 billion worth of Bitcoin for millions of customers worldwide.

Xapo’s wallet app also has millions of downloads across IOS and Google app stores, further cementing itself as a reliable way for users to store cryptocurrencies.

However, the president of Xapo did note that he believes that recent allegations of manipulation may be justified, due to the low liquidity in cryptocurrency markets. However, he did imply that this manipulation, if it exists, will only exist for a short period of time as the market eventually matures and regulators begin to crack down on manipulators.

He also dismissed the act of short-term price speculation, saying: “I think Bitcoin is a long-term investment and I personally wouldn’t get into it for short-term trading”

The market has become increasingly harder to trade as prices jump around in a seemingly random and uncontrollable manner. But if you are in it for the long run, Roger’s statements made yesterday make it sound like low prices should be of no worry.

🔸 eToro CEO: Investing in blockchain now like investing in internet 10 years ago
Yoni Assia, Founder and CEO of eToro, who has been trading since the age of 13, believes that ideas right now are much bigger in scale than they were in the dotcom era. He feels this is the explanation behind the obscenely large amounts of money raised at ICOs.

Since the start of this year alone, over $9 billion has been raised as funding for ICOs (Initial Coin Offering), according to consultancy firm Autonomous NEXT.

ICOs are fraught with risk because the industry is just not regulated tightly. A lot of the venture capitalist funded coins have flopped. Yet, investing in cryptocurrencies now is ‘as good as an investment in the internet 10 years ago,’ Assia, who holds Bitcoin and Ethereum, said.

 long-term view is selling crypto now is like selling Apple in 2001. You do it if you have to do it, you don’t do it if you don’t have to do it. That’s my personal view, again, every person has to decide for themselves. If you’re into this technology, you’re like, why hasn’t everybody moved on to this technology? It’s an endless opportunity to move things on to the blockchain. You have an insane amount of very smart people who are envisioning this future and trying to build products for it.

The end of last year was a period of madness for cryptocurrencies, and the fervor seems to be going strong this year. For a layperson looking in, the meteoric rise of Bitcoin might seem to be an opportunity too good to pass up on.
