How Crypto Should be Regulated

The world of crypto should embrace regulation! Now, I know “regulation” is a dirty word and some of you are likely already cursing my name. Yes, it’s a touchy subject for many within the industry but hear me out for a few minutes… there’s a method to my madness I assure you. So don’t hang me just yet, it may not be quite what you think. A good bit of what I’m about to say may well not be very popular among a portion of readers and while admittedly my opinion shouldn’t be the sole reason you change your views…

Technology has been incorporated into almost every aspect of our lives and while some people are inherently resistant to change, in general the benefits have far outweighed any downsides. From the Internet of Things (IoT) giving us better control over our homes, security, and utility usage, to the widespread adoption of wifi and so much of the world being available at our fingertips, the tech world continues to amaze and innovate.

Are Banks and the US Dollar Safer Than Crypto?

One of the biggest barriers preventing cryptocurrency from being adopted by a mainstream audience is safety. To the average person, crypto is the unknown. They don’t understand how it works and why it’s different than the traditional financial systems they’re used to. On top of that, crypto has built a reputation of being unsafe due to: Its popularity with scammers, hackers, and people buying illegal drugs. Market volatility and pump-and-dump investment groups. Its connection with failed blockchain startups managed by reckless and/or incompetent teams. Needless to say, the crypto community has earned its reputation. But does that mean it’s true?…

How Do You Define a Good Exchange?

If you’re going to do any real cryptocurrency trading, you’ll need to register to an exchange that trades tokens and cryptocurrencies. But not every exchange is created equally. Some are great for trading ERC20 tokens, others are good for trading with fiat money… and some are simply not good at all. But what makes a good exchange and how do you spot one? If you’ve been in the industry for an extended period of time, you’ve probably gotten a feel for good and bad exchanges through your own trial and error. But if you’re completely new to the game, picking…

ETH vs BNB

Most people know that the market is heating up, as such, they would want to make certain that they allocate their funds in a proper manner. If one wanted to make their life a bit easier, they would hold on to coins that would have wide exposure to the entire industry. Coins that have had wide exposure in the past would be bitcoin and Ethereum. We can still argue that bitcoin and Ethereum have large exposure to the entire digital asset space, but we also know that a few more tokens may also meet these criteria. These tokens are the…

2020 Elections: Bernie Sanders’, Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ Views on Crypto

Seventeen months can seem like a fair piece down the path, especially with so much going on in the here and now, but with a virtual ton of candidates already jumping into the Presidential fray and the literal circus that has befallen our once respected country, the 2020 elections are front and center for many of us. Of course with so many hot-button topics making their way to the top of town hall discussions, Twitter feeds, opinion pieces, and so on, they are giving reporters and copywriters plenty of material. With the crypto winter finally appearing in our rearview mirrors…

5 Reasons Why ETH Could Beat Bitcoin

Game of Thrones warned us for years that winter was on the way and while it did finally arrive for the top-rated show, it was far more lackluster than anticipated and arguably less damaging than the crypto winter we just traipsed our way through. 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…
