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.

Tom Lee: A combination of fundamentals and technicals indicate bullish stance
Not only does Lee believe that the aforementioned signal is bullish, but so are other technical and fundamental signals. As with any market, there often isn’t a single catalyst to attribute to a price gain or decline.
Lee has long been held as the face and representative of Bitcoin bulls, as he has continually called for Bitcoin to hit $25,000 come January 2019. And with these most recent statements, it has become clear that his stance on the cryptocurrency market remains bullish, despite the trials and tribulations that were seen as Bitcoin fell by over 60% since January 2018.

🔶 Decentralized stock exchanges will seize the cryptomarker - CEO Binance.
The founder and CEO of the largest crypto exchange Binance said that the victory of decentralized exchanges over their centralized counterparts is only a matter of time.
Within the Crypto Trader segment, CNBC, Ch. Zhao said that the transformation is coming, but it will not happen overnight.
"I am convinced that decentralized exchanges are the future. I can not say for sure when this future will come. I think we are still at the very beginning. I do not know whether it will take a year, two, three or five years. However, we must be ready for this. Now we are investing our efforts, our time in it. We have a special team for this. I hope to see a working prototype in the coming months" he says.

Fake volumes: new crypto exchanges displaying signs of inflated activity
New exchanges are showing trading activity that is disproportionate to their user numbers and social media presence. Brand-new exchanges are showing extremely robust trading volumes, lining up among top marketplaces and way above established older platforms. This has led to further accusations of attempts to gain visibility in CoinMarketCap’s exchange rankings through faked volumes. A back-of-the-envelope calculation for small exchange IDEX reveals that daily volumes are around $2.9 million. IDEX has between 2,000 and 3,000 users each day, according to data from Dapp Radar. This comes to average trading of around $1,000 per person, which is not a far-fetched amount.
Researchers at the CryptoExchangeRank blog did a similar calculation by matching visiting statistics with the volumes of several new exchanges presented on CoinMarketCap. In the past weeks, platforms like BitForex, BigOne, and BCEX have risen in the ranks, triggering suspicion. An analysis of BitForex, which landed above KuCoin and Kraken, shows that a small number of users on a relatively unknown exchange are extremely active traders, achieving volumes between two and three times higher.
Additionally, BitForex still has just about 2,000 Twitter subscribers, while older exchanges have hundreds of thousands. This factor reveals that the organic spread of BitForex is much smaller. The new batch of exchanges is mostly used for up-and-coming tokens and ICOs, and listings are announced with much fanfare in an attempt to mimic a Binance, KuCoin, or Huobi listing, which are significant factors in ensuring trading activity. In the end, the high rankings of the exchange send more traffic to BitForex. Still, the researchers have concluded that the trading is not organic.

EOS came out for 1,200 transactions per second. Ethereum was overloaded
Recently, the EOS network recorded a record number of transactions. To date, about 500,000 transactions are processed daily. Also, attention was drawn to the fact that after the launch of the EOS platform, gas prices on the Internet Ethereum regularly increased.
Also, some suspect EOS of attacks on the Erich network, but the leading EOS developer Dan Larimer denies these accusations, saying:
"We are not so stupid as to allocate resources to this when CryptoKitties does the real thing"

The supply chain industry generates over 13% of global GDP and is the lifeblood of the global economy. Innovations in this industry drive savings to every business and consumer on the planet.
Trillions of dollars are spent every year transporting everything from raw materials to finished goods, and every year billions in value is lost due to delays and disputes, driving up transport costs and slowing the cash flow cycle. The largest brands in the world lose 1% of revenue they can never invoice without proof of delivery to retailers, and transporters wait weeks to be paid.
The industry is ready to move to a blockchain-based platform that provides real transparency and proof of activity. This will allow every participant to invoice and be paid faster, grow their business, improve service and lower costs.
The Open Enterprise Logistics (OEL) Foundation and Alliance has been established to provide a standard Enterprise Architecture for all supply participants to build logistics dApps and blockchain-enable their technology.
Early adopters have already achieved real-world success, with Alliance member OpenPort becoming the first in the world to sell a blockchain-powered transport invoice on the AssetChain marketplace. https://bit.ly/2GqoBHD
OEL Alliance members are acting now to remove the paper trail, create trust and liquidity, and bypass intermediaries.
Members – from the largest shippers to the smallest transporters – will use the OPN (“open”) token to fuel the ecosystem behind one of the largest industries in the world. The TGE for OPN is a chance be part of an enterprise project that will change how goods and payments flow through the supply chain.

South Korea considers tax reduction for blockchain growth
According to a document from South Korea's fourth vice ministerial meeting on "Growth through Innovation," which took place on July 13, 2018, the country is discussing plans to reduce taxes for the purpose of supporting blockchain development. The release was authored by South Korea's Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
In a section entitled, "Redesign corporate investment support to promote employment, as well as new technologies," the ministry wrote that it will "expand the tax reduction for new growth engine investment and ease requirements for new technology support, including the blockchain technology investment support" (emphasis added).
Last week we reported on draft bills for South Korea's regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and blockchain technology. According to The Korea Times, the bills are due to be submitted during "an extraordinary session of the National Assembly from July 13 to 26," though it may take longer for any of them to be ratified.
Earlier this month, a handful of South Korean agencies were reportedly working on a classification system related to blockchain technology to help guide relevant regulatory policy.

Grayscale Investments adding $10 Million to Bitcoin trusts weekly
Grayscale Investments has just released a Digital Asset Investment Report for the first half of 2018. The company is reporting substantial gains in its Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), along with nearly $250 million total investments into Grayscale Products.
“As the investment community knows, over the last six months, the digital asset market experienced one of the largest price drawdowns since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009,” the report reads. “However, what is more interesting, and somewhat counterintuitive, is that the pace of investment into Grayscale products has accelerated to a level that we have not seen before. In fact, we raised nearly $250 million in new assets in the first half of this year, marking the strongest inflows of any six month period in the history of our business.”
Perhaps most notably, the new report shows that Grayscale Investments is currently seeing nearly $10 million in weekly inflows into cryptocurrency investments, with the majority of these assets being directed into the company’s Bitcoin Investment Trust—which now totals over $160 million. Grayscale Investments is also seeing exponential growth in non-Bitcoin products as well, including alt-coins such as Ethereum, Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, and Litcoin.
Grayscale Investments concluded its report stating that the company hopes that the recent growth in investments will encourage cryptocurrency skeptics to reconsider the potential of cryptocurrency as a means of providing strong and steady capital inflows.

Binance raises $1.4 million for Japanese flood victims
Recent record breaking rains in Japan have left 222 dead and dozens missing—making it the deadliest rain-related disaster since 1982. In light of the recent tragedy, leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has launched a relief campaign which has generated $1.41 million towards helping the victims.
Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, announced the start of the relief campaign last week, stating that Binance would begin by donating $1 million. Reports from today state that the exchange has raised an additional $410,000 over the last 7 days from 60 different investors. Contributions have come in the form of Ether along with 30 different ERC20 Tokens.
“We will give this donation to the disaster areas in multiple rounds,” reads a blogpost published today by Binance. “For our first round of donations, we will be converting 50,000,000 JPY worth of crypto into Bitcoin, and then into Japanese Yen. Since Binance does not have a presence in Japan, this will be conducted through our partners in Japan…Through our initial discussions with both NPOs’ leadership, we are confident that this Round 1 Donation will drive recovery efforts in two of the areas hit hardest by the West Japan Flooding.”
Binance has likely already begun the transfer process and has said that the company will post transaction details following its completion.

Former Wall Street executive Mike Novogratz has recently predicted that mass adoption of crypto and blockchain is “still five to six years away,” Blokt blockchain and tech news outlet reports July 19.
Speaking at the Beyond Blocks conference in South Korea, Novogratz, CEO and founder of crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, still expressed confidence that many institutions will come into the industry “in the next two to three years,” claiming that “without that, we will be running in circles.”
However, the mass adoption of crypto and blockchain technology will come not earlier than in a half a decade, Novogratz added
“You won’t see mass adoption until the user experience does not feel like something new and that is still five to six years away.”
Novogratz explained that one of the major obstacles on the way to widespread adoption is the increasing “cost of technical talent” as well as the doubts of conventional investors, which are aggravated by “no clear precedent for the financial industry”

A new test network Raiden for Ethereum was launched
Yesterday, a new test network of the payment channel project for the blockade Ethereum called Raiden was launched. It includes a minimum implementation of scalability solutions that will allow the transfer of the Ethereum ecosystem tokens outside the main blockage. Lead developer of the project Lefteris Karapetsas, that this is the last test phase before the introduction of technologies for the main block. Also earlier, he called on developers to cooperate in order to identify possible bugs in the system. To do this, a user interface was created and the API keys were opened.

Buterin: Cryptocurrencies must overcome two obstacles to become mainstream
Creator Ethereum Vitalik Buterin believes that before the crypto and blockchain technology there are at least two major obstacles, because of which they can not get mass distribution.
So, in an interview with economist Tyler Cowen, Buterin said that scalability and ease of use are of paramount importance for the success of the new technology.
"The next important point is the user experience, clumsy in terms of interaction with the blockbuster and in terms of security. How easy is it for the user to create a purse that will not allow losing all money for the night if the key was lost or stolen? I do not think so. These are precisely the problems that, I think, require much more innovations, and I think that we will see them in the next few years"

BMW car dealer in UK accepts Bitcoin as a payment
When you would least expect that some big companies would accept cryptocurrencies, Stephen James BMW an authorized dealership in Kent and London, announced on Twitter that they would be accepting Bitcoin for their car purchases. The news cut across all headlines as other companies are also expected to incorporate cryptocurrencies in their operations.
First of all, the efficiency and convenience of digital payments are highly favoured. People are looking for all avenues where they would have hassle-free transactions away from the conventional, traditional transaction systems. Certainly, Bitcoin, as well as other major cryptos, are going to become the future mode of payment.
On the 5th of July, Stephen James announced that they would be accepting Bitcoin across all their stores. From the posted tweet, Stephen James the owner of the dealership encouraged BMW lovers to visit their outlets for flawless purchases with Bitcoin. Interestingly, it sounded more of an exchange platform where you would get a BMW for your submitted BTCs.
Nonetheless, the need for a reliable exchange must have been a great consideration. Stephen stated that they would be using BitPay, one of the best platforms designed for customers to accept and receive different cryptocurrencies. Being available in most parts of the world, BitPay seems to be a perfect choice that Stephen James must have chosen.
The move is certainly a perfect one for BMW, forecasting on the successful future of cryptocurrencies. Their buyers who are Bitcoin traders too will have an opportunity to get a new or used BMW for particular BTCs. Moreover, other people have their prepaid debit cards such as My Vanilla. In this case, you have an opportunity to trade your cash for equivalent BTCs. Certainly, there is a lot you can do with your Bitcoin or your valuables for the acquisition of BTCs.
From the latest information from BMW, the dealership which has four outlets across London, it is the third largest stop-shop for new and used BMWs. Even though many people have associated cryptocurrencies with Lamborghinis and Ferraris, this is a new wave of association to BMW. This way, the auto vehicle industry is undergoing a revolution because of the use of cryptocurrencies. Barely, half a year from 2017, a lot has happened in the industry concerning cryptos and cars.
For example, Jason Engel the owner of Classic Recreations started out by accepting Bitcoin as payment for their custom Ford cars. Beyond doubt, the chances are high that they will also accept other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Docademic and others. These are just some of the cryptocurrencies that Classic Recreations would consider adopting, but there is a wide variety of crypto coins to consider.
From their comment, Jason Engel said that his entire life he has had a fascination for technology. Since cryptocurrencies are a new wave of evolution, there is certainly no reason not to consider adopting them. He further said that cryptocurrencies have come a long way and thus will soon become legitimate currency across the globe, as they continue to be more solid.

People are looking for all avenues where they would have hassle-free transactions away from the conventional, traditional transaction systems. Certainly, Bitcoin, as well as other major cryptos, are going to become the future mode of payment.
On the 5th of July, Stephen James announced that they would be accepting Bitcoin across all their stores. From the posted tweet, Stephen James the owner of the dealership encouraged BMW lovers to visit their outlets for flawless purchases with Bitcoin. Interestingly, it sounded more of an exchange platform where you would get a BMW for your submitted BTCs.
Nonetheless, the need for a reliable exchange must have been a great consideration. Stephen stated that they would be using BitPay, one of the best platforms designed for customers to accept and receive different cryptocurrencies. Being available in most parts of the world, BitPay seems to be a perfect choice that Stephen James must have chosen.
The move is certainly a perfect one for BMW, forecasting on the successful future of cryptocurrencies. Their buyers who are Bitcoin traders too will have an opportunity to get a new or used BMW for particular BTCs. Moreover, other people have their prepaid debit cards such as My Vanilla. In this case, you have an opportunity to trade your cash for equivalent BTCs. Certainly, there is a lot you can do with your Bitcoin or your valuables for the acquisition of BTCs.
From the latest information from BMW, the dealership which has four outlets across London, it is the third largest stop-shop for new and used BMWs. Even though many people have associated cryptocurrencies with Lamborghinis and Ferraris, this is a new wave of association to BMW. This way, the auto vehicle industry is undergoing a revolution because of the use of cryptocurrencies. Barely, half a year from 2017, a lot has happened in the industry concerning cryptos and cars.
For example, Jason Engel the owner of Classic Recreations started out by accepting Bitcoin as payment for their custom Ford cars. Beyond doubt, the chances are high that they will also accept other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Docademic and others. These are just some of the cryptocurrencies that Classic Recreations would consider adopting, but there is a wide variety of crypto coins to consider.
From their comment, Jason Engel said that his entire life he has had a fascination for technology. Since cryptocurrencies are a new wave of evolution, there is certainly no reason not to consider adopting them. He further said that cryptocurrencies have come a long way and thus will soon become legitimate currency across the globe, as they continue to be more solid.
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.
