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.

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.

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…
