      "title": "What You Need To Know About Upcoming ICO Trading And Why It So Popular Right Now (Arbitrade)",
      "body": "The hype around the term ‘ICOs’ (Initial Coin Offering’s) has been more than present over the past couple of years. This has led to many successful projects being implemented, millions of dollars raised via crowdfunding pages, and a massive potential provided for new startups and companies who are participating in this new model.\n\nAdditionally, for the investor, upcoming ICO trading can often provide the opportunity to gain large long-term returns on your original investment. When investing in upcoming ICO’s, it is so important that you have completed your own thorough investigative research, rather than simply following the crowds online. Cryptocurrencies are high risk – high reward, and ICOs are no different. Therefore, it is important for you to learn and understand the concept of ICO’s, which we will discuss in further detail in this article.\n\n![1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXTNjNmhbKRGcFG8QJ8P5bAN6sHgp2S2FVJBQP8KtcnTi/1.jpg)\n\nWhat Is An Initial Coin Offering (ICO)?\nThe term ICO stands for Initial Coin Offerings. It can also sometimes be referred to as initial public coin offerings (IPCO).\n\nTo put it simply, the term basically describes when a company offers investors a number of units of a new cryptocurrency or a crypto-token in exchange for a stake in their business. \n\nBefore the huge interest in cryptocurrency from the wider public in late 2017, one of the key pain points for tech startups was raising money to support their projects. When the cryptocurrency boom took place, many startups noticed the opportunity where they could raise an immense amount of funds to be able to support their visions and project ideas in the crypto and blockchain space.  ICO’s are now regularly and successfully used to fund the development of a crypto project simply by releasing tokens to investors.\n\nThe success of projects such as Ethereum, whose ICO was successfully used to raise a vast amount of money ($18 million USD in Bitcoins in fact), and quickly, for funding their smart contract platform, has influenced more startups to adopt the ICO model. The value of one Ether token was at $0.40 USD in 2014, the project went live in 2015 and in 2016 had an ether value that went up as high as $14 with a market capitalization of over $1 billion.\n\nOne of the key benefits for project founders, is that ICO’s allow for startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks. For this reason, ICOs are one of the most popular methods used to raise money nowadays, especially after many startups can clearly see the benefits of adopting an ICO as a model – and a tool that can easily revolutionize currency as well as the entire financial system.\n\n![2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmarKCtY7HQZTwWhWDucEAR4ASThaHanUiCokYUtGjoMxw/2.jpg)\n\nTo explain the process for when a cryptocurrency startup firm wants to raise money using an ICO, I have outlined the main steps below:\n\n1) Pre-Campaign White-paper:\nBefore an ICO, a white-paper is released by the startup which informs potential investors with:\n\nA description of the project\nThe purpose of the project and what need(s) will be fulfilled upon completion\nThe quantity of money needed to be raised\nThe amount of virtual tokens that the pioneers of the project will keep for themselves (their stake of the business)\nThe length of time that the ICO campaign will run for\n\n2) ICO Campaign\nDuring the ICO campaign, enthusiasts and supporters of the firm’s initiative buy some of the distributed crypto coins with fiat or virtual currency.\nThese coins are referred to as tokens and are similar to shares of a company sold to investors in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) transaction.\n\n3) Campaign End\nAfter the campaign, there are two possible scenarios:\n\nScenario 1: The money raised does not meet the minimum funds required by the firm.\nIn this scenario, the funds raised are returned to the backers and the ICO is deemed to be unsuccessful.\n\nScenario 2: The money raised DOES meet the minimum fund requirements of the firm.\nOn the other hand, in this scenario, the money raised is then used to either initiate an launch the new project or to complete it.\n\nAs you can see, cryptocurrency startups have shifted the traditional Initial Public Offering (IPO) model with a completely new one that issues their own tokens for the operation of their business.\n\nHowever, it is important to understand that the tokens issued do not represent equity. Instead, they are more like paid API keys which allow their holders to increase the value of their API keys as the project launches and acquires more users progressively with its demand. A token launch differs from an equity sale, mostly because the latter is regulated by the 1934 Act, and the former is still under regulation.\n\n![3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVBr1XFDmhtyzaKvkeMHdu73EBJbQNWtRR2yp6jWQ1sw8/3.jpg)\n\nHow To Take Part In Upcoming ICO Trading\nIf this novel fundraising mechanism seems amazing to you, the best news is that you can take part in it. In fact, you can participate in any ICO that you deem worthy.\n\nThere are three main steps to get involved in an upcoming ICO:\n\n1) Obtain Ether – You will need some cryptocurrency in order to participate in an ICO or a crowdsale. This is because these mechanisms don’t usually accept USD or other fiat currencies. Because of that, you should purchase Ether from the Ethereum network – or Bitcoin as one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrencies. The safest way to obtain them is from a secure exchange like Coinbase.\n\nUse the following step-by-step guide: How To Buy Bitcoin\n2) Move Your Ether To A User-Controlled Wallet – The best way to store your cryptocurrencies (which you will use for crowdfunding an ICO) is to move them to a wallet. If you send your Ether, for example, from your Coinbase account to an ICO address – you will only make Coinbase richer. Instead, make sure to move your crypto in a user-controlled wallet like My Ether Wallet which you can use to make payments at the right time.\n\nUse the following step-by-step guide: How To Store Offline\n3) Take Part In The ICO – The final step is to send your cryptocurrency from your wallet to an ICO address in order to receive your new tokens. Here, you should make sure that you have the correct wallet address from the company to send your investment to. You must check the company’s official website for this information.\n\n \nUpcoming ICO trading is becoming very popular because there are huge gains to be made if the startup project delivers on its white-paper promises. Early investors in the operation are usually motivated to buy the latest low-cost cryptocurrency tokens in the hope that the project becomes successful after it launches. If all goes to plan, the value of the coins or tokens that investors originally bought will then grow in value as more investors take their stake in the project, and the popularity of the project increases.\n\n![4.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWcABig49R9nTvaRxZRnRdx7bPBcaeEcPDmvpx2YWbw4q/4.png)\n\nThe Dangers Behind ICOs (And The Potential Scams)\nStill, there are many risks of investing in ICOs, mostly because of the potential scams and projects whose aim is to only take money. The growth in popularity of ICO’s for both startups and investors, has created an influx of scams and inexperienced tech startups wanting their piece of the pie too. Some of the biggest concerns around the dangers of ICOs include crowdfunding for purposes such as money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing and more. Because ICOs are barely regulated, you need to be way more careful than you’d be when investing in an IPO. To ensure you do your own thorough research, make sure you cover at least the following:\n\nDefinitely read and understand the white paper\nResearch and understand who the key players are behind the project, as well as what their incentives are, and make sure they have a history in cryptocurrency, \nWhen it comes to the legality of ICO’s, it is still very much a grey area. The SEC classified tokens from ICOs as securities in December of 2017. The SEC’s recent decision helps to clear up some of the grey area: in certain cases, the token is simply a utility token, meaning it gives the owner access to a specific protocol or network; thus it may not be classified as a financial security. On the other hand, the token can be classed an equity token, meaning that it’s only purpose is to appreciate in value. In this case, it seems more like a security.\n\nIn many countries, there is a proper regulatory crackdown that is looming. One of these is Bermuda – with the well-known Digital Asset Business Act 2018.\n\n \n\nDigital Asset Business Act 2018 (DABA): The Next Step In Bermuda’s Fintech Sector\nThe Government of Bermuda has recently tabled all of the companies and LLCs (in the form of ICOs) to introduce a statutory framework for the offering of digital assets by Bermuda companies. The ICO Act provides that all of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) assets will be treated as a Restricted Business Activity – which is certainly one of the most significant regulations of businesses like this to date.\n\nMore importantly, digital asset offerings will be conducted in accordance with all the requirements of published regulation. They will fall under all the relevant supervision and compliance requirements – all part of the initiative to provide regulatory certainty and a reliable legal framework for creating an environment moved by blockchain, cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.\n\nBermuda’s fintech development and implementation of a globally recognized standard is best seen through the Digital Asset Business Act 2018 under which there are many steps for regulating the fintech sector in the country. Currently, DABA has been approved by both the House of Assembly and the Senate – and it only needs a Royal Assent and a notice by the Minister of Finance.\n\nThis way, DABA as a document will regulate digital asset business carried on in or from within the country. In other words, this “Digital Asset Business” will refer to:\n\nIssuing, selling or redeeming virtual coins, tokens or any other form of digital asset;\nOperating as a payment service provider business utilising digital assets which includes the provision of services for the transfer of funds;\nOperating an electronic exchange;\nProviding custodial wallet services;\nOperating as a digital asset services vendor.\nFrom all this, an exchange is defined as an entity that means to assume control of digital assets from and on behalf of a client. As such, it can sell, trade or convert (a) digital assets for fiat currency, bank credit or other digital assets or (b) fiat currency or bank credit for one or more forms of digital assets.\n\n![6.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVMKiPfBHcXVQuk9odwQQqCBvC22mAnpvHNQB584ekTyT/6.png)\n\nA Word From The Blockchain Influencers In Bermuda\nIn order to clearly preview what the DABA 2018 means to Bermuda as a country, one media outlet named Royal Gazette spoke to Stan Stalnaker who is the founder of the Bermudian-based Hub Culture startup which created the world’s first digital currency, Ven.\n\nAccording to Mr. Stalnaker, new regulations and legislation in Bermuda is upping the standards for everyone working in the digital asset and FinTech sector. Stan told the journalists:\n\n“The industry for blockchain is going to be a trillion-dollar industry, and Bermuda is positioning itself to be a leader in that front. My hope would be that Bermuda has a role similar to the way it controls the reinsurance industry, but in blockchain,”\n\nWhat’s more, Mr. Stanlaker believes that the blockchain sector will become much larger than the reinsurance industry – and Bermuda will not be able to get “all of it.” However, as Stalnaker says, it will “hopefully end up with a healthy stake”.\n\nFurther Legislation To Be Introduced\nThe ambitious agenda carried out by the Government of Bermuda is not stopping here. It was announced that further legislation would be also introduced over the course of the coming months. On that agenda, we can now easily see the new Virtual Currency Business Act 2018 which is tabled in the country – as well as a digital identification platform (e-ID) which will come in July 2018, followed by an official Virtual Currency Exchange that is targeted for September 2018.\n\nThe entire Virtual Currency Business Act along with all of the published regulations and the code of conduct has now been published in a draft form and is available for download on this link.\n\nA Final Word\nIn the end, more and more countries are moving forward to regulating ICOs and cryptocurrencies and therefore developing a new business infrastructure through crowd-sale. Even though there are still some risks at present, the authorities are doing their best to regulate them and bring us the safer, hyper-connected environment we deserve.\n\nRemember to do your own research when investigating ICO’s to take part in. ![5.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPMHnH5SevHSkxiYfrzEYkpwufXdMKWi1F9i5MJbQwQKX/5.jpg)",

      "body": "“If you want to go to the future, you have to go to the past. The future of money is gold.”\nI took this from an interesting book I read recently, in many ways it makes sense to me that combining the oldest store of value, gold with the newest technology would be an a very interesting concept. \n\n Arbitrade has acquired Cryptobontix, and although they both have different but complementary business models, they have formed a symbiotic relationship benefiting both parties to bring you this multidimensional asset class.\n\nCryptobontix is the company responsible for creating a family of tokens backed by precious metals such as Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium. \n\nCurrently, you will not be able to find a lot of information on their website, because:\n\n“The website is awaiting legal approval from our council and council of our newly developed partners before we can release details of our operations and partnerships.” ~ Cryptobontix\n\nThe Cryptobontix Inc. development team has created four cryptocurrencies based on the Etherium smart contract technology (ERC20 Token), which are backed by valuable hard-backed assets. These include:\n\nDignity (DIG) – backed by ingot of gold bullion\nNamaste (NAM) – backed by ingot of silver bullion\nOrectic (ORE) – backed by ingot of palladium bullion\nHonor (HNR) – backed by ingot of platinum bullion\n\n\nKey Features Of The Asset-Backed Tokens:\nRobust security & privacy protection, making it difficult for hackers, corporations and governments to unfairly seize assets.\nFaster & cheaper transactions than traditional electronic systems.\nElimination of boundaries and fees associated with international transaction, some bank charges are as high as 10-15% – Baffles the mind to think what big industries and companies must spend on these fees!\n \nHow this changes the digital asset landscape and the future\nTo give you a better understanding of how powerful this family of tokens really is for the future economy, let’s take a closer look at another traditional store of value, money.\n\nMoney has four functions; It is a:\n\nStore of value\nMedium of exchange\nUnit of account\nStandard of deferred payment\nOne of the many problems with our traditional monetary system is the declining value of our fiat currencies, they are dropping immensely due to the impact of inflation on the economy over time.\n\nFor instance, the Great British Pound has lost 90% of its value since 1973 and the price of a pint of milk has increased by 767% in 40 years.\n\nWhat is commendable and unique about the Cryptobontix Inc. cryptocurrency tokens is that they provide a dependable means of exchange beyond the direct control of national banks, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Canada, Monetary Authority of Singapore, etc.\n\nThis is particularly attractive for those concerned about future long-term inflation as a result of:\n\n1. The loose monetary policy such as quantitative easing (often central banks’ “printing money” by purchasing government bonds).\n\n2. Near zero inter­bank lending rates.\n\n3.Banks going into liquidation such as the recent crash of Deutschebank or India’s war on cash.\nIn 2016 Indias Finance Minister says “honest people” have no need worry. They removed the two large denominations of the rupee (500 and 1000 rupee) from use, stating it will no longer be legal tender. Citizens were given only four hours notice of this change, thus removing 86% of cash in circulation by value. And in a country where 95% of all transactions happen in cash and this is where more than 40% of the population of the country has no bank account. The immediate effect was expected to be a loss of 2-4% of the GDP of the country, and the ripple effect has been devastating.\nBy combining bullion, the oldest store of value, with the newest, cryptocurrencies, we believe Arbitrade & Cryptobontix have created both a new hybrid asset class and investment vehicle that has the potential to become a global leader in this sector.\n\nWe are witnessing the start of a new era in bullion backed digital assets.                       \nTrust-less is the key & decentralization is the strength\n\n\n\n“Arbitrade is acquiring $8.7 Billion worth of the four bullions (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) that will back the company’s four major tokens.”                                    Arbitrade Management 25/05/18\n\nHistory: UNY To DIG Swap\nThe history of events leading up to the rebranding of T.J.L. Holdings to Cryptobontix Inc. has been outlined below:\n\nT.J.L. Holdings launched unity Ingot (UNY) on May 8th 2017. Tokens value proceeded on a gradual decline.\nT.J.L Holdings, then rebranded to Cryptobontix Inc.\nA 1:1 token swap from Unity Ingot (UNY) into Dignity (DIG) was initiated by Cryptobontix Inc. and took place from the 8th February through to 20th February 2018 on the Livecoin exchange. \nDuring the take-over, a small number of members from T.J.L Holdings remained with the development team in the capacity of consultants until the transfer was completed and the company is successfully operating as Cryptobontix Inc.\nCryptobontix Inc. has a renewed vision of the original idea behind the Unity Ingot project and is now leading a family of tokens into its next stages of expansion.\n \nDignity (DIG)\nBacking the Dignity token to Gold will give the token a floor value that matches the true value of the gold. It should be noted that assets usually trade at multiples of their intrinsic value.\n\nKey facts about the Dignity (DIG) token:\n\nThe first token of it’s kind to be backed by both:\nMining hardware – 10,000+ high performance mining rigs\nGold bullion -$3 Billion in Gold Bullion ($1 worth of Gold Bullion for every token issued.)\nTender: GOLD\nQuantity: 0.02445 grams per token\n‘Floor’ Value: $1.00 USD (awaiting audit confirmation)\nOriginal UNY supply: 10,000,000,000\nUNY Burned: 7,000,000,000\nToken swap UNY > DIG\nDIG Total Supply: 3,000,000,000\nCurrently listed on Coinmarketcap, ticker DIG and currently on the Livecoin exchange, with further popular exchanges listing the token throughout the summer of 2018.\n\nDignity (DIG) coin token\nWhat makes DIG so unique in the crypto-space, is that once it is developed, its continued growth is tied to both the value of gold and the performance of cryptocurrency (mining & buyback), which means the only way it could completely fail is if the entire cryptocurrency market fails. \n\nGlobal trends and adoption rates indicate this is a highly unlikely event when one considers the value, energy and passion that has transpired and got us to this point. \n\n \n\nNamaste (NAM)\nThis token represents the very first truly silver backed cryptocurrency and sets another industry standard for the new era of hard backed tokens.\n\nKey facts about the Namaste (NAM) token:\n\nBacked by $2 Billion in Gold Bullion to be traded for Silver Bullion upon each payment. ($2 worth of Silver Bullion for every token issued.)\nTender: SILVER\nQuantity: 3.6559 grams per token\nValue: $2.00 USD (on release)\nNAM Supply: 1,000,000,000\nPlanned Release: To Be Confirmed, Testing underway\nNumber of mining rigs dedicated to this token: 10,000\nNamaste (NAM) ingot of silver\nOrectic (ORE)\nThis token represents the very first, truly palladium backed cryptocurrency and sets yet another industry standard.\n\nKey facts about the Orectic (ORE) token:\n\nBacked by $1 Billion in Gold Bullion to be traded for Platinum Bullion upon each payment. ($3 worth of Platinum Bullion for every token issued.)\nTender: PALLADIUM\nQuantity: 0.101 grams per token\nValue: $3 USD (on release)\nORE Supply: 500,000,000\nPlanned Release: To Be Confirmed, Testing underway\nNumber of mining rigs dedicated to this token: 10,000\nHonor (HON) ingot of silver coin token\nHonor (HNR)\nThis token represents the very first truly platinum backed cryptocurrency and sets yet another industry standard.\n\nKey facts about the Honor (HNR) token:\n\nBacked by $500 million in Gold Bullion to be traded for Palladium Bullion upon each payment. ($4 worth of Palladium Bullion for every token issued.)Tender: PLATINUM\nQuantity: 0.125 grams per token\nValue: $4 USD (on release)\nHNR Supply: 500,000,000\nPlanned Release: To Be Confirmed, Testing underway\nNumber of mining rigs dedicated to this token: 10,000\n\n\nArbitrade Ltd. has made a definitive deal with Sion Trading FZE Dubai to acquire $10,000,000,000 in gold bullion. The bullion will be held at Brinks’ vault at the Dubai Gold Exchange. The company will have the bullion audited by a major accounting firm that operates in both Bermuda, Dubai and the United States before the end of September 2018 or as the accounting firm’s schedule permits. The audit is not an important factor and is only being done to satisfy U.S. Regulators.\n\nSource: Arbitrade news update\n\nHow To Get Hold Of Your Physical Assets\nAccording to the existing white paper:\n\nAfter two years, you will be able to swap your token 1 to 1 for a special utility coupon that grants you your amount of bullion.\nThese will be redeemable during specific periods each year.\nIn November of every year, 1/15th of the token float will become available for you to trade your tokens with, until the expiration date of the coupons.\nYou will then be able to redeem the physical bullion held against the token by using the coupon.\nAt any point throughout the year, you can place a bullion order at the Cryptobontix website and fill out and send an order form to the prescribed address.\nThe shipping department will then process the transaction when the November redemption window opens and will ship the physical bullion to the token holders. \n \nMining Facility\nCryptobontix Inc. and Arbitrade have partnered with:\n\nCoin Miner LLC – to provide mining hardware\nCryptotopic Inc. – to build and operate the mining facilities\nView video footage of one of the facilities.\n \nCoin Miner LLC\nArbitrade Ltd. and Cryptotopic Industries have been working with Coin Miner LLC and the build team to create a 100,000 square foot industrial mining facility in Ontario, Canada. A facility that was previously used for metal manufacturing.\nHas over five years experience in industrial sized mining infrastructure & development\nOver the next 12 months, they aim to provide the facilitities with 65,000 mining units, ranging from high-performance ASIC and GPU mining units such as proprietary G Series mining units with Nvidia & AMD chips achieving 275MH at 1,200 watts each.\n\nHayden Gill, Arbitrade’s leading advisor & mining consultant, says:\n\n“The D9 miners alone will be generating a minimum of 305 Decred (DCR) per day which is currently trading at $99.90 on CoinMarketCap.com (June 2018)\n\nArbitrade and Cryptobontix have also reported purchasing additional units from Bitmain, Canada Computers & Halong.\n\nThe mining units will commence operations for:\n\nArbitrade’s decentralized exchange (DEX)\nCryptobontix’s bullion and cryptocurrency mining backed tokens\nOnce installed and operational, the facility will mine the most profitable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Etherium, Dash & Monero.\n\nThe daily cryptocurrency mining profits are to be used to:\n\n50% – purchase physical bullion\n20% – buy additional high standard mining rigs\n15% – support buy back tokens and trade exchange marketplaces\n15% – operational cost and upkeep of mining facility\n \n\n Cryptotopic Inc.\nArbitrade reported it has commenced a 15-year lease agreement with Cryptotopic Inc., an Ontario company that will work with Coin Miner LLC, on behalf of Arbitrade, to build Canada’s largest mining facility in a 100,000 square foot industrial warehouse located in Watford, Ontario, Canada, which will house the 65,000 mining units.\n\nThis lease agreement marks the first of four facilities Arbitrade plans to open over the next 36 months with Cryptotopic Inc. and Coin Miner LLC.\n\nCoin Miner LLC\nHayden owns Coin Miner LLC and has been overseeing the mining developments in Watford and Atlanta. Watford has 5MW of current power that can facilitate 4,000 mining rigs to start. Arbitrade, along with Coin Miner LLC, has been successfully negotiating with Hydro One and its partners to bring in up to an additional 150MW of power so that the Watford facility will be among the largest cryptocurrency mining facilities in the world.\n\nCurrently, the property boasts a massive size of 100,000 square feet, but there are an additional 16 acres available that can accommodate an enormous expansion up to 1,000,000 square feet of mining space. The company, on behalf of Hayden, has been in negotiations to develop the company’s own ASIC mining rigs and GPU miners.\n\nThe Atlanta facility has already been toured by top stock and crypto analyst Ronnie Moas. Photographs and videos are available on his Instagram account. You can also check the Timeline. \n\n \n\nIf executed, this will make Arbitrade  one of the largest cryptocurrency mining operations globally.\n\nMake sure you do your own reseach, theres lots of questions and hurdles ahead",

Launching A Decentralized Exchange For Trading Not Only It’s Native Backed Tokens But Other High Valued Cryptocurrencies\nArbitrade Inc. is planning to launch an all-in-one decentralised exchange from September 2018 with the aim of becoming the no.1 market place for business and investment.Similar to the likes of Coinbase and it’s exchange GDAX, the Cryptobontix and Arbitrade family of tokens are claimed to be:\n\n100% reserve guaranteed\nWorking with Brinks & Backed by Lloyds of London insurance (unverified June 2018).\nOnce confirmed, this should give investors peace of mind should any problems arise, such as if the company goes into liquidation, government regulations come into play or hackers steal any tokens.\n\nIssues with centralised exchanges\nIn today’s current markets all the major exchanges, such as OKEx, Binance, Huobi, Coinbase and Bitfinex, are all centralised. There are advantages to the centralised system, but it adds unnecasary risk;\n\nHold your funds as a third party in transactions. These large sums of money are prime targets for hackers as we have seen with the Mt.Gox fiasco as well as other leading exchanges. In short, millions of dollars have been stolen from centralised exchanges.\nRequire a lot of personal information to be submitted creating privacy issues.\nAre prone to server down time.\nMarket manipulation by ‘professional traders.’\n“Right now, we are in the middle of incorporating 11 top-level, cross-integrated applications into the Arbitrade platform, which is quite an accomplishment.” \nArbitrade Management \n\nDecentralised Exchange Solution \nDecentralised exchanges, or DEX as they are commonly known are gaining popularity because they:\n\nAllow regular investors and traders the ability to leverage faster trades whilst allowing you to keep your funds in a secure wallet off the exchange.\nProvide anonymity with no server down time and safe from hackers because of the design and security of the respective distributed trading systems.\nVitalik Buterin, Founder of Etherium, said,\n\n“DEXs reflect the same trustless nature of the cryptocurrencies they trade. Transactions are peer-to-peer, without a third-party centralizing funds as an intermediary. Your funds are in your wallet until you trade them, and DEXs also allow for more privacy. But most importantly, DEXs bring fast, fair and easy trading to regular people without wait times.”\n\nIn summary, the main differences between centralized and decentralized exchanges are outlined below:\n** Please view www.blockchainbullion.io - The table below will not work on this platform. **\n \t\n\n4.

Arbitrade Head Quarters To Be Established In Bermuda\nBermuda is a well regulated country led by the Bermuda monetary authority. The country is making huge steps forward as a pioneering nation in the fintech space, their ambition and drive supersedes nearly all others and can rival Switzerland.The company has been working hard to be approved as a regirstered company in Bermuda and become a legally licensed and insured company. \n \n12. Arbitrade Decentralised Exchange (DEX) Initial Coin Offering (ICO)\n Once Arbitrade has it’s license in hand the company will proceed first with their 8-week legally approved ICO, this will be followed by the launch of the Arbitrade platform in late August / early September 2018. Keep track of the progress on the Timeline\n \n\nAdditional Information\n \n\nArbitrade is registered in Bermuda where it’s head quarters will be located. \nSteve Braverman, who was credited with operating the trading desk at Knight Securities and other investment houses for many years, will oversee the build-out of the Bermuda operations located at Victoria Hall, which is Arbitrade’s new seven-story office tower.\n\nBermuda is the gold standard for banking and the reinsurance industry.\nThey have been passing the laws to make Bermuda the gold standard in an additional industry, fintech, primarily based on cryptocurrency, which they wish to refer to from here on as digital assets. Arbitrade has been working with the government of Bermuda to help establish this new industry.\n\nArbitrade has been in talks with many other countries that could potentially be a subsidiary location for Arbitrade.\nIt is Arbitrade’s desire to have a license to operate in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The teams that have been in these talks will solidify these negotiations between now and September 2018.\n\nSource: Arbitrade news update",

      "body": "![1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUgVFsJxXFnTCnHMFUt4neUdubwq8jxmSTaeBVYiZB7pk/1.jpg)\nThere has been rather a lot of conversation around the topic of airdrop cryptocurrency coins recently, yet the same questions keep on propping up time and time again…\n\nWhat is an airdrop?\nIs there something that I need to be doing to be included in the airdrop?\nWhen will Arbitrade do their airdrop? What’s going on?\nWhat does an airdrop mean to me? How will I benefit exactly?\nHuh? How does an airdrop work again??\n…you get the gist!\n\nTherefore, I have decided to write a short, easy-to-understand guide to help share all you need to really know about the airdrop cryptocurrency process, so that you can be confident that you thoroughly understand it in time for Arbitrade’s airdrop.\n\n![2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR7JRdHioZUV7EJGM1v4KLrV1BN14D3cEQjBoWQNZy1oL/2.jpg)\nWhat Is An Airdrop Cryptocurrency Process?\nEssentially an airdrop is simply a process that provides you with FREE cryptocurrency coins or tokens directly to your wallet. \n\nIn order to take part in a blockchain project’s airdrop, you may need to hold their coins in your private wallet, offline. However, this is not always the case, follow the development team’s instruction. The blockchain project will then award existing holders of their tokens, by distributing the  additional free tokens into their wallet. It is important to understand that the new tokens that you will receive will be different from the original tokens.\n\nIf you do not currently own a cryptocurrency wallet check out this guide showing you step-by-step how to store your cryptocurrency offline. You can also checkout the recommended hardware wallets on the tools page.\n\nThere are generally two motivators behind the crypto airdrop processes that take place in the current cryptocurrency market. Let’s delve a little deeper into both.\n\n1) Hardfork\nThis is when, at a certain block number, a chain splits into two separate chains. If both chains get miner and community support, then two different coins are created.\n\nFor example, some of you may remember when Bitcoin did a hard fork and Bitcoin Cash was the secondary coin that came about after. Another example is Ethereum Classic, which was created from a hard fork of Ethereum.\n\nEssentially developers, miners and the community decide which side of the tracks they want to be on. \n\n \n2) Marketing campaign\nIn order to spread publicity about a certain product, coin or exchange in the world of cryptocurrencies, blockchain projects will use an airdrop as a good marketing strategy. Many blockchain projects that offer airdrops are pre-ICO or have just finished their ICO.\n\nIt is a successful marketing strategy for the following reasons:\n\nAn airdrop creates awareness about an ICO or token; it brings people to the project who may not have otherwise known or heard about it before.\nIt helps the new coin or token stand out from the thousands of others on CoinMarketCap. Generally, when you know you own a coin, you can’t help but notice it on the list or mentioned in an article, because the seed has been planted and the name will stick with you.\nThe endowment effect is likely to occur whereby people value a coin or token they own higher than a token they don’t own. This bias can contribute towards price appreciation.\nA good tactic to pump a coins value because projects will announce airdrops where coin holders will receive bonus coins proportional to the amount of total coins they hold. Therefore coin investors will have to buy more of the projects coins, if they want to receive a larger quantity of free coins.\nRecently, it has become a more popular method due to various social networks, most notably Facebook, refusing to display adverts which promote cryptocurrencies. It’s main purpose should be add additional value to the existing community.\n\nAirdrop marketing campaign announcements\nThe marketing campaign normally works by the project announcing a certain date and time that they will take a ”snapshot” of the blockchain. You will therefore have to make sure you are holding the project’s tokens off the exchange in your private wallet. Anyone holding their token at that point in time will receive a certain number of free tokens into their wallet.\n\nHowever, certain projects also nowadays require more from you, usually to benefit their marketing efforts and to help get the word out. So far the only examples of extra requirements I have heard about include:\n\nHaving a certain number of Twitter followers and then having to ‘re-tweet’ a specific tweet\nBeing a member of a particular Telegram group\nAirdrop marketing campaign non-announcements\nWhat’s more, some projects don’t even announce their airdrops, and tokens may sometimes just magically appear in your wallet. This creates curiosity and excitement for the holders who are likely to tell friends or research what the token is, hence creating free word-of-mouth advertising for the blockchain project.\n\n![3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSt6UivnRcYR2MQr8p4rSBBvrvBPyvUE6gY9ySdz6iMNr/3.jpg)\nWhat Use is  This Free Token To Me?\nThe main benefit to you, as a new token holder, is that these free tokens have the potential of increasing in value in the future, at which point you can either decide to sell for profit, or continue to HODL – aka. hold on for dear life! 😉\n\nThey are basically giving you an additional free investment, as a thank you for investing in their project. This additional investment could end up increasing in value by rather a lot. You only have to look at Bitcoin Cash as an example of an airdrop token, which was distributed after the Bitcoin hard fork. At the time of writing it is in fourth place on CoinMarketCap. This is pretty amazing in my opinion!\n\nMany blockchain projects that are now the top 40 coins, completed airdrops in their early stages. For example, you will most likely have heard of the recent airdrop executed by EOS. \n\nAll You Need To Know About Arbitrade’s Airdrop\nArbitrade has announced in an earlier email to subscribers that they will receive a 1:1 bonus airdrop token for every Dignity (DIG) token they hold in a wallet.\n\nYou must hold your Dignity (DIG) tokens off the exchange and in one of the following wallets:\n\nMyEtherWallet (MEW)\nTrezor Hard Wallet\nLedger Hard Wallet\nThey will release more details in the future about the exact date that the snapshot will be taken, so that you have time to purchase your Dignity (DIG) tokens and move them into a secure wallet.\n\nNote: The Contract Swap will happen first and will execute automatically. No action of you is required of you for this process. \n\nIn the email, they stated:\n\n“The more DIG you have, the more BONUS token you will receive as long as they’re moved out of the exchanges into a good third-party wallet” – Arbitrade and Cryptobontix\n\nThe bonus token sounds like it will be a longterm hold investment, which can potentially increase in value over the next couple of years. In the update they stated:\n\n“We are unsure of the price the bonus token will have in the beginning, but this was structured for a long-term receive and hold type token. This will grow in value over time due to the backing of cryptocurrency mining that daily proceeds are used to build the value of the token. It will really start to see value in a year or two.” – Arbitrade and Cryptobontix\n\nFor those of you who did not read the email update and are still waiting in anticipation, the latest information that was received from Arbitrade and Cryptobontix outlined the following points:\n\n“We will provide an adequate window of time for token holders to move their DIG off of the exchanges before the snapshot.\n\nWe will also be providing some guidance to assist with making the process go smoothly and to avoid costly mistakes.\n\nIf you’ve already moved your DIG off an exchange, you’re fine and should leave your tokens where they are until after the snapshot and airdrop.\n\nEveryone else should wait for the swaps to occur and the guidance to be published.\n\nAs stated above, we will be updating the Arbitrade & DIG community as things progress and instructions/guidance will be made available at the appropriate times.”\n\nFinal Words\nI hope this article has cleared up everything you were wondering about the airdrop process. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are always here to answer any questions and provide information to you.\n\nFinally, it would be negligent of me to finish this article without warning you of scams. So before you get too excited looking for projects who are offering airdrops, please be cautious of the following.\n\nNever give or send your private keys to anyone. Keep them safe and encrypted!\nDon’t send any money to any addresses. Airdrops are free! You just need to hold a certain coin or token in your wallet. ‘YOUR’ being the key word here, not anybody elses!\nDo your due diligence and make sure you feel confident with the project who are offering an airdrop.",

      "body": "UPDATED: 5 July 2018\nwww.blockchainbullion.io \n\nAt the time of writing, and after a quick Google search for ‘Troy James Hogg’ you are most certain to come across a website and a few social forums who are out to slander and make claims against Troy online. I did exactly this, back in early 2018, when his name popped up on our radar.\n\nObviously the online stories and F.U.D. (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) did make us feel slightly uneasy, as does any negative news or information that is linked to an investment you believe in. In all honesty, based on the online drama surrounding him, Troy James Hogg was written down as one of my personal red flags when choosing to invest in Unity Ingot, now known as Dignity (Ticker DIG).\n\n![Troy-James-Hogg-4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQdtSmAKwTcShntUk39yfmCSkwnMkHb6bZjR4rDYwE6RW/Troy-James-Hogg-4.jpg)\n\nHowever, I do also understand that the Internet can amplify lies and exaggerate or bend reality, and so should you. You do have to wonder who in their right mind would set out to create a website dedicated to slandering a single person. It is the first type of website of its kind that I have come across, and quite frankly it does create alarm bells – and not in the way you would expect; IF what they are saying is the truth, then why on earth is it not dealt with privately, professionally and with a legal team? Nowadays, a court case would settle the issues without the need to try and create hatred and negativity towards a person online. After all, the court room would not perceive this to be a smart move, and it could even be detrimental for those who are involved in creating such a website.\n\nNow, regardless of the online rumours, up until Arbitrade’s first press conference on the 28th June 2018, we hadn’t heard anything from Troy James Hogg and his involvement with Arbitrade, only gossip about him. Yet, I was very aware that there are analysts who follow and discuss Dignity ($DIG) on Twitter, and whom have also personally met Troy James Hogg. Therefore, it was only right that I asked one of those reputable contacts what they know about this mystery man.\n\nYou can read the full write-up by Xylo, an active member of the community, who discusses his views on Troy James Hogg here: Xylo responds to questions concerning UNY/DIG involvement with Troy Hogg.\n\nStill, throughout the rest of this article, I will refer to both Xylo’s write-up, as well as the comments made online, as I take the key pieces of ‘shrilled’ comments people are worrying about online about Troy James Hogg, and provide you with a balanced view with all that I know from the online sources and members of the Blockchain Bullion network.\n\n![1.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYwxV18ZQz9crKAmm5bmAuCpF2FPY3rWvfGMV46usndNt/1.jpeg)\n\nTroy James Hogg F.U.D. Number 1: Why Has Troy Changed His Names So Often, “Creating Multiple Email Addresses, Social Media Profiles, Trading Entities Etc To Match Over The Last TEN YEARS?”\nSource: troyjamesexposed.com\n\n“Troy has never changed his name. ‘Hogg’ ‘Richard’ and ‘James’ are part of his REAL NAME. Your claims of him changing his name are just not true.” – cryptobolix\n\n \n\n“Many of you have been asking about Troy James, Troy Hogg, Troy Richard James, etc. no he’s not changing his name like many claim, this is simply who he is. Troy Richard James Hogg.” – Xylo\n\nAs we can clearly see, the ‘haters’ are trying to twist the truth and make out that Troy has used many names as a form of disguise against ‘all the scams he has been involved in.’ Personally, I have several versions of my name that I can, and do, go by. This is by no means a way for me to create different personas and pretend to be different aliases. Yet, if people wanted to, of course they can blame me for trying to hide from something?! Making a mountain out of a molehill online is too easy nowadays, and this is at the epicentre of F.U.D.\n\n![Troy-James-Hogg-2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXbSU2EyR3PeeJqFLrS6jbnXqU1WKnJsj4ohYPtgM3QJY/Troy-James-Hogg-2.jpg)\n\nTroy James Hogg F.U.D. Number 2: “Troy James Has Taken Money, And Not Delivered Or Launched The Promised Product”\nSource: troyjamesexposed.com\n\n \n\n“Troy’s only “downfall” was that he had over-extended himself on too many projects at a single time, which led to the delay of many projects getting off the ground or completed. In his pursuit to help people reach a stable online income, he realized he was spread thin and offered to all his customers full refunds for any products they may have pre-purchased and/or partnered with him on.” – Xylo\n\nTo summarise the comments from Xylo’s write-up, I have outlined the key points below:\nA few customers became frustrated with project timescales and lost faith in Troy.\nThose said people decided to pursue their refunds;\n \n\n“…refunds that they had initially declined and had no legal right to obtain at this point.” – Xylo\n\nOne person in the group has personal issues with Troy and started convincing more people to apply for late refunds;\n \n\n“Keep in mind, they all turned the refunds down that Troy already offered and were well past the 180 days PayPal allows.”– Xylo\n\nThe refund group that was formed, soon turned into a hate group creating a witch-hunt against Troy;\n \n\n“Most of them disputed the charges through PayPal almost in unison totalling to what I believe was over $500,000. It may actually be more, maybe less. Those that had payments within 180 days were refunded automatically by PayPal. A vast majority of the transactions were past the 180 days, so they received no money from PayPal, this was about half of this refund group.” – Xylo\n\n \n\nWithout any legal obligation, Troy began working on refunding every individual;\n \n\n“Though Troy failed to execute the business ventures due to over-extension and because of the mass refunds, the refunders forfeited their rights to refund, and he STILL paid them all back. Scammers just don’t do that, and he never stopped…He has since paid back every person, including the man who demanded 4+ years of refunds totaling over $120,000 plus interest.” – Xylo\n\n![Troy-James-Hogg-3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZVstWk9UtbuHNPyWQbbcL2DvRZRMuW3PZM642WEqQQLS/Troy-James-Hogg-3.jpg)\n\n\nTroy James Hogg F.U.D. Number 3: “The Affluence Network – It’s A Pyramid Scheme!”\nSource: troyjamesexposed.com\n\nAgain I will bullet point the main points from Xylo’s write-up which will show you the truth behind these accusations;\n\nTroy started to build ‘The Affluence Network’ (TAN) which was intended to be the first Internet Marketing platform to fully incorporate cryptocurrency.\nDuring the development stage, a few big influencers discovered his idea which created a domino affect;\n \n\n“Big people know big people, and word begin to spread at high levels that Troy was executing a revolutionary idea. Troy decided that TAN would need to be placed on hold so he could focus on the cryptocurrency side of things with the new “big” people. Thus TAN never fully launched, yet. Many claim TAN was a scam, or a ponzi, which it wasn’t. It simply was put on hold. It never happened.”  – Xylo\n\n \n\n“The Affluence Network TAN coins have never launched, neither has TAN launched anything. It’s been nothing but pre-signups. Nobody has been scammed by the TAN coins. You can’t even trade them or buy them anywhere.” – cryptobolix\n\n\nTroy James Hogg F.U.D. Number 4: Troy’s Involvement In Arbitrade And Crypobontix Will Discredit It From Becoming Successful\nA news article was released earlier this morning (5th July 2018) raising concerns about the silence from both Arbitrade and the Bermudan government, following comments made at the first press conference last week. The comments that stood out the most, which are related to Troy Hogg’s involvement with the Arbitrade project are as follows:\n\n“The press comments by Arbitrade raise more red flags than a hurricane on the South Shore.” – M. Dunkley\n\n \n\n“If we wish to pursue a legitimate crypto business we need to acknowledge that there are a lot of scam crypto businesses operating and be extra vigilant to weed out these con artists. One misstep this early in the process of properly regulating this business could destroy all of the hard work that has been done so far and damage Bermuda’s reputation. Any of these businesses with even a hint of impropriety should be avoided (and that would include any business with Troy Hogg involvement). We have only one chance to get this right and there are a lot vultures (external as well as local) out there hoping we don’t.” – Robert. X\n\nHowever, there are always two sides to a speculative debate! It is important that you don’t ever get confirmation bias where-by you only listen to what you want to hear and ignore anything that doesn’t fit your point of view. For this reason, take the time to understand the following comments too:\n\n“The past MLMs, to also include The Affluence Network, have nothing to do with Cryptobontix or Arbitrade. Just because Troy had former business ventures that may or may not have gone as planned does not mean they have any bearing on what happens with this venture.  The success and validity of this venture is not determined by Troy’s past projects. Even if Troy did scam people in the past, it has no connection or affect on what is occurring with the cryptocurrency things.” – cryptobolix\n\n![5.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYsARoXQXC8bzPHUZ7cydd5yrga5H4Cucrfv4hLumWSJP/5.jpg)\n\n“Here’s how we get to Cryptobontix. Troy had now paid back all those who came after him. He knew of the slander and the libel and the exaggerated claims these people assaulted him with. He knew that if Cryptobontix was to succeed, he’d have to resign. If he stayed, then he’d be risking the success of the tokens because of the misinformation on the web about him. Remember this is primarily one website.\n\nIf this guy was truly as bad as this one website makes him out to be, with 76000+ customers there would be thousands of hate sites and links.\n\nTroy decided he would first need to do what was best for the new company. He stepped down. He literally stepped down and gave control of his genius idea and inspirations to the newly organized Board of Directors.\n\nHe only acts now as a consultant in order to help the completion and launch of the assets. Once this happens I am told he resigns forever. He may never get the credit he deserves. Not only did Troy pay back all the money he wasn’t required to pay, he did it at his own expense. He now sacrificed his pride, his ego, the recognition, the clout…. of being the great mind behind all of this. The mastermind took a back seat in order for the company and its followers to succeed. This act of humility, surrendering it all, was a huge sacrifice. But he did it.\n\nI can personally vouch for Troy’s integrity. I watched him face adversity, pay back his debtors (who had no legal right), make hundreds of people a lot of money, and still be able to launch this crypto project off the ground. He’s the reason any of us involved have this opportunity before us to be financially free. He has changed dozens and dozens of people’s lives, and with the groundbreaking inspirations he’s brought the world of cryptocurrency, Troy Richard James Hogg deserves all the accolades and honor. Without his dedication to do what was right and overcome stark adversity, this growing community of Cryptobontix and Arbitrade patrons would not exist.” – Xylo\n\nNow, to back up what Xylo has said, here is an extract from the official Arbitrade news release that was circulated today (5th July 2018):\n\n“Troy Hogg – Troy was the visionary and original designer of everything Arbitrade. From the all-in-one merchant banking platform to the bullion-backed tokens to Arbipay and the mining structure, it was his design that has been behind what we have been aggressively building for the future. Troy has overseen the development, acquisitions, government negotiations, bullion partnership and is involved with all significant growth decisions of the overall business. His contract is based on seeing the development and growth of Arbitrade until the ICO ends and the platform officially launches. Troy made a deal with equity partners, the board and development teams that he would be compensated for his vision and efforts upon his resigning from Arbitrade to pursue improving his health and other endeavors. Troy had temporarily left the company prior, but the board and management found that he was an invaluable negotiator and could convey the vision the best, so he was asked to return as a consultant.” – Arbitrade\n\nTroy Acknowledges The FUD In His First Public Speech On Behalf Of Arbitrade\nDuring the live press conference call on the 28th June 2018, Troy begins by acknowledging the online rumours that have been slandering his name, as well as the website that was created about him:\n\nHe mentioned that he was caught up in an online battle with a group of individuals who he had previously criticised publicly online for their wrong-doings.\nHe doesn’t have the time to focus on it and defend himself against these people.\nHe will be publishing his own website and blog listing the full list of occurrences of everything that happened with the help of his attorneys, publicists, and agents who are assisting him.\nHe will also be proceeding with legal actions against the individuals who continue to slander his name\n \n\nHowever, Michael Dunkley, the former Premier, who is now Shadow Minister for National Security, didn’t take these comments lightly and responded with:\n\n“Mr Hogg began his portion of last Thursday’s conference call by defending himself against social media and online attacks. Mr Dunkley felt that making such opening remarks was “a red flag”, he also took issue with the conference call ending with no questions being allowed.” – Scott Neil\n\n\nFinal Words\nTo put it simply, the main issue that people are afraid of, is that Arbitrade’s project is a well-executed scam. Unfortunately, I have come to realise that it is easy to understand that people will assume the worst when there is a lack of consistent and concrete information and news releases.\n\nHowever, I hope that both the public speech at the press conference, and this article has helped to clear up some of the main issues as to why the F.U.D.sters believe Troy Hogg’s involvement with Arbitrade’s project could make it a scam. I also hope that you will begin to have a bit more faith when looking at the wider picture of the project, not just the short term lack of information and the noise!\n\nFinally, we now know that Troy is the visionary of the Arbitrade project, and that he had successfully appointed Leonard Schutzmann to head up the company as CEO, and setup a world class team who is responsible for the international growth of Arbitrade.\n\nRegardless of the lack of communication and released information we have had thus far, I personally still have the utmost faith in this project. Besides, the team around Arbitrade are making sure they have everything legally setup properly and with all proper contracts and systems in place before making this information available to the public.\n\nTo be frank, who are we, as small investors in the grand scheme of things, to be nagging at and pestering the team, when they are working immensely hard behind the scenes to make Troy’s vision a reality?\n\nAt the end of the day, you have to look at how revolutionary the project is, and how it will fundamentally develop the financial systems of the world. You must learn to have faith and patience, rather than simply staring at the daily values of Dignity ($DIG) and listening to the F.U.D. and rumours online. Make sure you read and understand the white-papers, as well as the team behind the project, before choosing to invest.\n\nOn that note, for all you fans and believers of the project, like the team and community behind Blockchain Bullion, you can:\n\nPurchase more Dignity ($DIG) tokens while the price is low\nKeep up-to-date with the latest updates about the project – remember to check-in frequently with the timeline!\nTroy’s official website to follow in the future.",

      "body": "‘Market Cap’ is another way of saying Market Capitalization. It is one of the most critical concepts that investors have to understand and is a technical indicator derived from the traditional stock market, we can use a similar approach to show us the estimated net-worth of a specific digital asset.\n\nNot knowing or understanding the Market Cap is a sure way to lose money and miss opportunities in the cryptocurrency markets. \n\nYet, many new investors overlook it, or just don’t properly seem to grasp what it means and how it is calculated.\n\nTherefore, this article will iron out those creases so that you can feel confident you fully understand everything you need to know about market capitalization.\n\nThe topics that will be covered include:\n\n- Why are digital assets market caps so important?\n- How to calculate the cryptocurrency market cap\n- Calculating the price\n- Circulating supply vs. distributed supply\n- Online platforms which show you the already calculated market capitalization\n- How to use market capitalization to make better investment decisions\n- Disclaimer: factors to be aware of\n- Investing in low cap cryptocurrency is a high risk investment\n- A high market cap doesn’t necessarily signify a stable investment either\n- Additional factors to take into consideration when choosing your investments\n- What will be the market cap cryptocurrency value of Arbitrade & Cryptobontix‘ gold backed token: Dignity ($DIG)?\n- Final words\n- Further research\n- Why Are Cryptocurrency Market Cap’s So Important?\n- Investors should be able to easily monitor, or at least recognize opportunities, based on the market cap of a potential investment.\n\n“Every investor should learn as much about altcoin Market Cap, or market capitalization, as possible for a very basic reason: the market capitalization may tell you how much money you might be able to make from a cryptocurrency.” – cryptoincome.io\n\n![1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeSSfC6aRFgRHCkRVQdUwY2SLtmteyUpQQTdmHc2HSEy6/1.png)\n\nCryptocurrency Market Cap 1\nIt is also important to understand that the market capitalization does not actually represent the true value of a cryptocurrency project.\n\nMore often than not, the true value of a cryptocurrency token or coin is falsely undervalued or overvalued as the price can often be easily inflated or manipulated. This is due to both ‘pump and dump’ scams, which directly affects the ranking of a cryptocurrency asset, as well as the following common misconception:\n\nNew investors blindly base their trades on the price of a coin or token, rather than the market cap.\nHowever, the price is speculative and does not equal value. Therefore, market cap definitely doesn’t equal true market value, which is why it is important to recognize potential opportunities – I will discuss this further in the next section.\n\nIt is easy to understand why new investors would fall into the trap of believing that they have found a bargain based on purely the price of a coin; They hope for the price to skyrocket in a similar style to the likes of Ripple. However, this theory is unrealistic and is therefore very unlikely to ever happen.\n\nTaking Ripple as an example, the following quote explains this further:\n\n“Ripple (XRP) is trading at around 1$ right now. You might think this is cheap but if you look closely, you will see that there are over 39 Billion Ripple coins in circulation.\n\nTherefore Ripple already sits on a market cap of over 43 billion $ which is a huge number.\n\nTo put this into perspective, Bitcoin currently has a circulating coin supply of under 17 Million with a market cap of around 200 billion $.\n\nSo in order for Ripple to reach Bitcoins price, their market cap would have to grow to approximately 464 Trillion $. And that’s just not going to happen.” – J.Smith, Henry Lax Ltd\n\n![2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXrh4Tt3XgzGF92Z4QTssZxxtZVJ6vVF1nQKuw78nPHTn/2.jpg)\n\nCryptocurrency Market Cap 2\nHow To Calculate The Cryptocurrency Market Cap\nThe market capitalization of a cryptocurrency stands for the current dollar market value of the currencies circulating coin supply.\n\nIt is based on two factors:\n\nThe current price per coin\nThe total quantity of the specific cryptocurrency coins that are circulating in the market. \nTherefore, to calculate the market capitalization, also referred to as ‘relative size,’ of a token or a coin within the cryptocurrency market, the following formula is used:\n\nMarket Cap = Price X Circulating Supply\n\nAs you can see, you simply multiply the Price by the Circulating Supply.\n\nCalculating The Price\nSome of you may also be wondering how to calculate the price:\n\nPrice = The average of all prices reported at each market*\n\n*Sources for the prices can be found on the markets section on each cryptocurrency page.\n\nCirculating Supply vs. Total Distributed Supply\nIt is important to note the differences between the circulating supply and the total distributed supply:\n\nThe circulating supply includes only the coins or tokens that are being actively traded and held by external investors.\nThe total distributed supply includes the company’s share of coins, extra coins from mining, and other coins not released into the supply.\nIt is, therefore, more accurate to estimate the value of a cryptocurrency based on the following calculation:\n\nCryptocurrency Value = Total Distributed Supply X Coin Price\n\nOnline Platforms Which Show You The Already Calculated Market Capitalization\nFortunately, there is an online calculator which can calculate the market cap for you: marketcapcalculator.com\n\nWe also recommend the following websites to find out the current market cap cryptocurrency value of a coin or token:\n\ncoinmarkets.net\ncoinmarketcap.com\ncryptocompare.com\nlivecoinwatch.com\n\n![3.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVQFjmTuB8QzyzDfewZ6YAMQTG8VzCSyTKsm2Br6WyzKP/3.jpeg)\n\nMarket Cap Cryptocurrency 1\nHow To Use Market Capitalization To Make Better Investment Decisions\nLet’s face it, we all strive to find THE cryptocurrency coin or token that will give us a significant return on investment (ROI). \n\nBefore we continue, and just to reiterate my point from earlier, it is so important that you stop looking at the price of coins or tokens! \n\nInstead, to be a good investor, you must always make sure that you gather sufficient information about a project before investing in their coin or token. Not only will this save you time, but potentially a lot of money too!\n\nput simply, we tend to research coins and tokens which show:\n\nA low market cap\nOpportunities for potential market cap growth\nUse some of course, this is easier said than done.\n\nHowever, there are a few additional factors that will help you complete thorough investigative research in order to figure out whether there are clear opportunities for growth or not. These include:\n\nThe size of the branch that the project is operating in and its future potential\nHow innovative and unique the technology and idea really is\nThe number of tokens or coins that the development team owns – if they hold a significant amount, they will be able to retain control over the direction of the token\nThe capability of the team behind the project – level of expertise? Age? Experience? – keep in mind: a billion dollar idea is worthless without the right people working on it.\nPress coverage, government regulation, politics, rumors, the behavior of individual investors, and more!\nIf you take all of these factors into account, you can certainly find cryptocurrencies that are truly undervalued. If you find the gems and invest in these early on, you will see some significant gains over time and you will not need to be checking the price every minute because you know you’ve got in early and you believe in the vision of the company. You must be aware and not succumb to confirmation bias, you can keep an eye on key global events surrounding blockchain and cryptocurrency affairs, by simply subscribing to a reputable newsletter such as Blockchain Bullion.\n\nUse some simple websites, app, and subscriptions to keep current on market news and portfolio performance. We have listed useful tools and resources. \n\nPlease also rest assured during times of ‘dumping’ (also known as the price suddenly decreasing). If you are actively investing do not be discouraged by a small pullback. Instead, zoom out on the graph to display the bigger picture and remain patient. The best investment gains are never made by chasing coins, it is the waiting that is rewarded the most.\n\nDisclaimer: Factors To Be Aware Of\nInvesting in low cap cryptocurrency is a high-risk investment\nWe should all be aware that investing in low market cap coins and tokens comes with high risks. This is because:\n\nThe projects may still be in their infancy with a lot of potential roadblocks ahead.\nHolders of tokens with small market caps are at risk of being crushed by larger traders. If several whales conspire to sell at the same time, the price of a token can crash to zero instantly.\nThe lower the market cap, the more volatile the coin, but then the more lucrative the ROI opportunities with ICO’s providing by far the biggest ROI for investors with an appetite for risk.\n\nA high market cap doesn’t necessarily signify a stable investment either\nDon’t be fooled into thinking ‘stable’ coins with large cryptocurrency market caps are a safe investment either. This is because they can still be volatile. Take Bitcoin for example. Since June 2017, it has had many price swings between 30-50%. Prior to this, it encountered several rises and falls between 30 and 2.\n\nMost people have heard of Bitcoin but have probably never heard of a lot coin or token, like Dignity. This is one of the primary reasons many alt-coins are not getting the attention they deserve yet from the wider public. I conclude that there is a strong possibility that Bitcoin’s Coin Price and Market Cap will start to decrease as more people become aware of the alternatives.\n\n![4.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdG8xSSr52nf3MzjnBHzZi3YSqVAwRmud1T64vnmXqBKq/4.png)\n\nMarket Cap Cryptocurrency 2\nAdditional factors to take into consideration when choosing your investments\nAs an investor, you must get into the habit of routinely keeping up-to-date with industry changes, whether that is by carefully checking reputable news platforms, subscribing to news websites (like Blockchain Bullion) and by following key analysts and influencers.\n\nWe have already witnessed the extent to which news has such a huge impact on the cryptocurrency market fluctuations.\n\nA most noteworthy example was when the price of Bitcoin dropped in mid-2017 after the news reported that the Chinese government was shutting many cryptocurrency exchanges. If you had been following the industry, you will have known that China is the world’s largest market for Bitcoin. Those who failed to keep updated with industry news would have lost out.\n\nKeeping an eye on the news will also mean that if a huge corporation or government announces that they will be accepting cryptocurrency payments, you will want to be one of the first to know so that you can jump on the investment, before it goes globally viral.\n\nWhat Will Be The Market Cap Cryptocurrency Value Of Arbitrade & Cryptobontix‘ Gold Backed Token: Dignity ($DIG)?\nNobody knows this yet, but the forecast from our own personal research on Arbitrade and Cryptobontix looks extremely promising. \n\nKeep up-to-date with the progress of this revolutionary project by regularly checking the Timeline.\n\nFinal Words\nOverall, understanding the Cryptocurrency Market Cap and its limitations can help you make profitable investment decisions in alt-coins. \n\nYet as we have discussed in the article, when it comes down to choosing where you want to invest your money, there are a lot of other factors to account for during your research.\n\nAs an investor, you should make sure that you examine the Market Caps of all cryptocurrencies and estimate what the reasonable growth potential might be for each coin or token you consider investing in.\n\nOn a final note, it is always important that you have completed your own thorough due diligence when investigating a project.\n\nFurther Research\nAs we have already mentioned earlier in the article, we recommend the following websites to help you research and monitor cryptocurrency tokens and coins:\n\ncoinmarkets.net\ncryptocompare.com\ncoinmarketcap.com\nlivecoinwatch.com\n\nPlease refer to the knowledge base to discover more useful online tools and websites, which will help to deepen your knowledge about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.\n\nWWW.BLOCKCHAINBULLION.IO",

      "body": "Accomplishments Of Nelson Mandela Revisited: 100 Years July 2018\n\nWhile we (still) sit tight waiting for more news from Arbitrade, we will celebrate the accomplishments of Nelson Mandela in the run up to his 100 year anniversary this month. But first, if you have been keeping up-to-date with the Timeline at Blockchain Bullion, you will have read that Arbitrade has already purchased one piece of  Nelson Mandela art from the Golden Hands collection.\n\n“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela\n\nConsidering Arbitrade purposely purchased the golden artefacts during the 100th year anniversary of his birth, should we expect to hear some exciting news from the board of directors next month?\n\nThe anticipation is real!\n\nNelson Mandela’s 100th year birthday is on the 18th July 2018. Add it to your calendar guys! It could end up being a significant date in the world of $ DIG. \n\nArbitrade has already publicly expressed their admiration for Nelson Mandela and praises South Africa for all it has done throughout the years in supporting the gold industry. So, it would only make sense to mark the occasion with some huge news… Let’s hope so anyway… 😉\n\nUPDATE: Today, 3rd July 2018, it has been publicly announced that Arbitrade will host an invitation only presentation on the 18th July to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the birth of Nelson Mandela. The presentations will be followed by a networking reception and exhibits of the Mandela artifacts, including the US debut of his artwork from Robben Island Prison. \n\nRead the details of this occasion on the timeline announcement. \nAccomplishments of Nelson Mandela Gold Hands Collection Nelson Mandela Art\nGolden Hands Nelson Mandela Art\nAs you are already aware, Arbitrade currently owns one piece of the golden hands Nelson Mandela art collection. This is a solid life-size gold cast of Mandela’s fist made during his lifetime by the Harmony Gold Mining company at his home in Johannesburg in 1964.\n\n“It’s interesting to note that when it came to casting the fist, Mandela insisted on placing his thumb next to his fingers as opposed to in front. He deemed it a less aggressive representation of his victory of apartheid. It was typical of the man.” – Leonard Schutzman, CEO of Arbitrade\n\nOriginally, Harmony Gold made a full set of solid gold artefacts to mark each of the twenty seven years Nelson Mandela spent behind bars. However, it is believed that the artefacts which Arbitrade are purchasing are part of the only remaining and surviving set. All others were destroyed by order of Nelson Mandela.\n\nYou can perhaps understand why each of the remaining pieces cost a whopping $2.5 million each. Mr. Leonard Schutzman confirmed that the purpose of acquiring the iconic Nelson Mandela art collection was because it is an exceptional investment that will be used to back the family of coins that Arbitrade will be producing. Not only this, but Arbitrade believes it is also helps to mark the company’s interests and intentions.\n\n“Our set is dedicated to 1964 and 1990, marking the year Mandela was first incarcerated on Robben Island and the year he walked through the prison gates a free man.” – Leonard Schutzman, CEO of Arbitrade\n\nMr. Leonard Schutzman has confirmed the complete set and the fist has been authenticated by Harmony Gold and is in the possession of Arbitrade. It is important to remember that back in March 2018, Arbitrade drew up a contract with South African businessman, Mr. Malcolm Duncan, whereby the company agreed to buy the iconic Nelson Mandela art collection from him.\n\nMalcolm Duncan is a Canadian entrepreneur who actually knew Mandela, and reportedly paid 3.6 million South African Rand (approx. $ 263,592 USD) for the set to Harmony Gold Mining, which cast the items in 2002.\n\n \n\nAccomplishments of Nelson Mandela Art\n \n\nMr. Duncan wasn’t able to sell them on, until he managed to strike a deal with Arbitrade. At first it seems that he was a little nervous about transacting in cryptocurrencies, but the buyer and seller managed to agree upon a contractual deal, which allows Arbitrade to buy one item of the collection at quarterly intervals throughout the course of the year with Bitcoin that is then converted to fiat currency and deposited into the sellers account.\n\nTherefore, Arbitrade are still waiting, as per contractual terms, for the purchase of the remaining pieces to be formalised. These include three life size impressions of Mandela’s hand, one additional of his palm and the fist, and precious Nelson Mandela images of making the cast at his home in Johannesburg.\n\nAccomplishments of Nelson Mandela 5\nSix Accomplishments Of Nelson Mandela\n \n\n1) Organizing the non-violent defiance campaign\nHe taught the world what activism really is: with no fear in his heart, Mandela stood up to those who sought to oppress others.\n\n \n\n2) First black and democratically elected President of the country\nHe served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country’s first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.\n\n \n\n3) He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for peaceful termination of apartheid\nMandela also received more than 260 honours during his lifetime.\n\n \n\n4) He effectively ended apartheid\nNelson Mandela was a leading opponent of the 1948 apartheid legislation. Through his relentless passion to end racial segregation in South Africa, creating a future towards true equality in his homeland.\n\n \n\n5) His speech during the Rivonia Trial is considered one of the great speeches of the 20th century\n“I am Prepared to Die” Nelson Mandela’s statement from the dock at the opening of the defence case in the Rivonia Trial Pretoria Supreme Court, 20 April 1964.\n\n \n\n6) Nelson Mandela children’s foundation is the largest foundation in the world\nAs well as founding a number of other organizations to promote equality and fight against problems such as AIDS.\n\nTo finish this list outlining the accomplishments of Nelson Mandela, I have included a couple of very well-written excerpts that I found, which really helps to sum up the world’s opinion of Nelson Mandela, and which also perfectly describes his unique characteristics and journey through life;\n\n“Mandela essentially invented the iconography for honourable resistance and overcoming oppression by simply standing squarely in the centre of an unjust culture and not giving an inch of himself over to it. It is probably telling in his years as the President that he often looked as curious and unsure of his situation as he did dignified and revered. It was because it was as fresh and new to him as would freedom to any man who spent most of his life denied it. He was legit as they say. And legitimacy was his greatest accomplishment.” – Courtney Kross (source)\n\n“For those of us who knew and loved him, he will forever be the man who led his people to freedom, who suffered under and then vanquished the evil of apartheid in South Africa, and who built a new democracy with magnanimity, wisdom and vision. But millions of people are alive today who were not even born when Mandela walked out of prison a free man. What is remarkable, and what gives us hope for the future, is how his life and legacy continue to inspire these younger generations.” – Lauren Crow (source)\n\nAccomplishments of Nelson Mandela 4\nFinal Words\nTo celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Nelson Mandela, there are many festivities that have been organised. Check out the Mandela Concerts to see how you can get involved.\n\nWhen reading through the Nelson Mandela accomplishments, you may have been able to witness the slight correlation between what Nelson Mandela has achieved, and what Arbitrade is trying to achieve in terms of helping to change the world for the better:\n\nAccomplishments of Nelson Mandela 7\nI find it rather profound that Arbitrade are paving the way to change and prosperity against the traditional and unfair monetary system by creating a new era of digital assets, which will provide financial freedom for many early investors. My own personal opinions! If you would like to learn more, check out the following pages:\n\nArbitrade\nHow to buy DIG $\nOn another note, I do believe that July 2018 could bring us the news we have all been waiting for and that we may witness a wider adoption combined with a price surge for Dignity ($DIG). Allow me to reiterate that these opinions are purely my own and it is important that you do your own research and due diligence when deciding on your investments. If my predictions are true, I will certainly mark the occasion with some sort of celebration. Perhaps we will even create and announce an additional feature of the Blockchain Bullion website? What will you do to celebrate the occasion?\n\nOne last comment (I promise!): Don’t forget to put the 18th July in your calendar – this date could be significant! And if not, well… let’s celebrate our commiserations and the 100 years of Nelson Mandela anyway. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the timeline. And remember, we are all in $ DIG together. So, whenever you are feeling a little angst, join in on the community chat and take a leaf from Mandela’s book:\n\n“I never lose, I either win or learn” – Nelson Mandela",

      "body": "For those of you who were not able to listen into the live stream of the Arbitrade press conference, Blockchain Bullion has outlined the main points in this article. For live stresm recording and additional info visit www.blockchainbullion.io \n\nSpeaker 1: Leonard Schutzmann\nLeo CEO arbitrade crypto card\nLeonard Schutzmann, Arbitrade CEO and chairman, introduces the phone conference discussing how the project first came about. The main points that were covered were:\n\nA brief mention of his career with PepsiCo; spent 30 years at senior and management levels. \nAdvised that he was approached by a close friend of his to help him with a new startup idea in the crypto and blockchain industry, which has the potential to turn into a multi-billion global dollar business.\nHe spoke to Troy Hogg who told him his strategy and vision to transform the financial industry. Troy asked Leonard to put together a world-class team, the best experts in the industry with a great track record and international connections, who will be the foundations for the growth of the project.\nHis motto is to ‘under-promise and over-deliver.’\nHas spent most of 2018 building the infrastructure, spending over $15 million in mining, assets, facilities and servers.\nArbitrade now has the capacity in mining to get moving forward.\nThey are in the process of finishing the exchange software.\nThey will be doing an ICO in the near future.\nSpeaker 2: Troy Hogg\n\nTroy Hogg, Visionary of Arbitrade, then follows on from Leonard.\n\nRumours\nHe begins by acknowledging the online rumours that have been slandering his name, as well as the website that was created about him:\n\nHe mentioned that he was caught up in an online battle with a group of individuals who he had previously criticised publicly online for their wrong-doings.\nHe doesn’t have the time to focus on it and defend himself against these people.\nHe will be publishing his own website and blog listing the full list of occurrences of everything that happened with the help of his attorneys, publicists, and agents who are assisting him.\nHe will also be proceeding with legal actions against the individuals who continue to slander his name.\n \nArbitrade Exchange\nOnce the rumours had been cleared up he moved on to discussing the exchange platform that they are working on. He stated:\n\nThey have built the most robust system, in the entire crypto sector, using the latest blockchain technology. This will be revealed in early September.\nThey are building an infrastructure that allows for:\nPayment and Merchant services\nTrading of cryptocurrencies\ninterest payments on cryptocurrencies – an ‘all-in-one merchant thinking platform.’\nThey will insure the entire platform so that everyone including Arbitrade are protected – he announced that they are there for the people.\nFull demo has already been seen and it is currently going through beta and bug testing.\nIt will be revealed at the end of the Summer. \nHe then announced that they will now be spending all of the summer preparing all legal documentation required to fulfil their licensing with Bermuda for Arbitrade’s ICO\n\n \nAccomplishments\nNext, he went on to discuss the accomplishments they have achieved thus far.\n\nThe headquarters at the 7-storey office tower called Victoria Hall, in Bermuda (purchase contracts will be complete over the next two weeks), will create several new jobs in the country. It will be renovated over the summer to accommodate the training of future new employees. All staff will be taught how to handle support and compliance – this is key in the industry, as no trade exchange or merchant service thus far offers multi-lingual phone-in, or direct online, support to traders. The hashtag: #ArbitradeHelp will be used across all social media channels to offer support to users.\nIn partnership with Scotia International of Nevada (S.I.O.N.) Trading FZE in Dubai, which is one of the only licensed gold traders on the Dubai gold exchange, and whom have a gold mining facility, gold trading facility, inbound asset facility, and trade on open market. They fully support the project and will grant Arbitrade $10 billion of physical gold. Agreements are in place and signed, sitting before him and will be held at Brinks  Corporate (the world’s largest cash management company, serving over 100 countries). Troy introduced a representative from S.I.O.N. Trading FZE, who stated:\n“We are 100% committed behind and thoroughly ecstatic about what has been put forward to us and the opportunity to be a part of Arbitrade”\n\n \nActions Of Thanks To Bermuda\nTo extend their gratitude to the people of Bermuda, Arbitrade will:\n\nAllow the people of Bermuda the first rights to a pre-ICO position.\nDonate $1 million to help refurbish and launch a new state-of-the-art co-working space and incubator for the FinTech center in Bermuda. This donation will be completed early next week.\nDonate $45,000 to the Bermudan government to help develop a violence reduction, therapeutic gardening initiative, where-by the government has been given 5 acres of land to be used to teach gang members farming and plant husbandry skills. As well as providing the opportunity for gang members to be paid to work on the chicken farms. Arbitrade will help assist with the development of the most advanced student and young person learning process into the FinTech sector and help them get off the streets and into education.\nDonate $30,000 to the active shooter preparedness initiative taught by the FBI at schools and local charities. \nDonate $25,000 to the family center initiative, which is a large community project in Bermuda.\n \nFinal Words\nThere will be a lot more news coming out over the next couple of months as Arbitrade moves into new countries, territories and subsidiary licenses to their home domicile in Bermuda. \n\nThey thanked everyone and announced they will not be taking any questions today, but will at a later date.\n\nTo Listen To The Recording visit www.blockchainbullion.io and go to editorial. \nOfficial press releases to follow soon.",
