For many of us, we have no idea what the basic terms of this new world of money are all about. Don’t feel bad if it’s been a challenge for you, because for me, I feel like there’s so many terms having to do with all this stuff I just didn’t understand at all. So this is going to be a really deep dive into all these things we see going on out there right now in the digital currency market. But we’re going to define those terms and we’re going to show you how they work and how they link together and how this whole thing as a concept works.\n\nI got to sit down with blockchain expert and co-founder of TenX, Dr. Julian Hosp, and today we’re going to make it super easy for you guys to understand. Transcript below. \n\nJeremy Slate:\nI was listening to Tim Ferriss‘ interview recently where he was comparing blockchain to a fly in amber and the way that works. Let’s start at the basic level and just explain what a blockchain is.\n\nDr. Julian Hosp:    \nImagine this money is not physical. Imagine this money’s totally virtual. The problem is since it’s virtual, everyone can just copy that money or anyone can delete it. It’s pretty much—you can do whatever you want. So it’s really, really difficult to keep track of the money since you would have to trust that no one else is cheating because if I have no chance in looking into your account, you could just manipulate your account. And if you send me money, I don’t know if you just created that money. It’s pretty difficult.\n\nIn the real world, how do we solve this? You have a so called centralized institution, a bank. That bank sits there and is in charge of everyone’s account. So you have a bank, Bank of America, or whatever you have—chase or whatever. You have your account there. And so they have to trust from the central authorities to be sure that you can’t cheat and they don’t cheat. Let’s hope they don’t. So you have to trust them.\n\nThe thing is this, imagine we take a different approach. Imagine all of us sit there and we have let’s say a piece of paper in front of us and we tell each other, all we’re going to do is we’re going to look for 10 minutes and I’m just kind of picking random numbers right now but these numbers are quite applicable actually. So we sit there and for 10 minutes, all we do is we look at each other and we check if any of us is spending money or is receiving money. And if any one of us does that we pick a random anonymous number. So every one of us doesn’t use their real name, we all use a pseudonym, we use a number. So for example, you, Jeremy get the number nine, I get the number 13—it doesn’t matter. So we all pick certain anonymous numbers. And as soon as one person sends money to the other person he has to tell that to everyone else on the table.\n\nSo when I send you money, it’s not me having to talk to a central bank, it’s me telling everyone else and saying, “Hey listen, I’m number 13 and number 13 just sent $5 to number nine.” No one knows who number nine is, you’re the only one who knows, okay I’m number nine. So that’s what you know.\n\nThen we do this for 10 minutes. And after these 10 minutes we compare our notes and we are sure that something called consensus is reached. And consensus means that at least 51% of us agree on who sent money to whom and who received money from whom. So do this for 10 minutes and afterwards we check—we compare our notes and then we say, okay, is this what we agree on? As long as 51% agree on it, we all sign and we flip the page over and we put it onto our left side. And we just have a page there now. And this is what’s called a block.\n\nThis is a block of paper, a piece of paper and we flip this over. Now we all start the next block. So what happens is, if you make a transaction, you cannot be sure that your transaction actually was made until that block was flipped over. Why? Because in between, there’s still an agreement—a consensus that it’s a little bit of a discussion. Did that transaction actually occur or not? Now the next 10 minutes start. Now we do the same thing again. We do the exact same thing and we all look at each other and we’re making sure who’s spending money or who’s transacting with whom, who’s sending money from where to where. And after these 10 minutes, we reach a consensus and we flip the page over and we put it on top of the other page.\n\nNow here’s the trick.\n\nWhenever we put one page on top of the other, we chain them together. Chaining them together, we use a lot glue. If we were to take the paper off again, we would start ripping the entire paper, and this would destroy the entire blockchain because these blocks are chained together. So what happens is, the more of these papers we put on top of each other—meaning the more time passes and the more often we agree—we reach consensus on who transacted what to whom—the more secure your transaction becomes—we call this the more confirmation. So the older this gets, the further down in the blockchain this thing is, the more indestructible your transaction is and the more guaranteed it is that you actually received money or that you sent money.\n\nIn Bitcoin, for example, when a transaction has three to four confirmations—so 30 to 40 minutes have passed. So three to four of these blocks got chained together. It’s pretty much guaranteed that that money is yours forever because the work of actually having to unglue all this and taking the glue off and being sure that the paper goes off really, really nicely and doesn’t rip and doesn’t break—that work is so expensive and is so difficult and is so hard to do that it is actually more expensive than the economical gains that you’re getting if you manage to get these pieces of papers apart. And that’s pretty much how the blockchain works.\n\nNow obviously in the world of computers, it’s not humans sitting there and having to take notes. It’s computers—it’s so called miners, and all they do is they sit there, they watch the network and pick up these transactions and then there’s these so called nodes and these nodes broadcast transactions to each other. So what happens in the real blockchain in the Internet is if one of us makes a transaction, it gets broadcast to 20 other nodes and these 20 other nodes broadcast it each 20 nodes and it goes on like this. So it spreads over the entire world within seconds. And so that’s how this blockchain is super stable and super secure.\n\nJeremy Slate: \nIn terms of the different types of currencies, I understand there’s probably a lot more to it, but just in basics, we have Ethereum, we have Dash, we have Bitcoin—which are the well known ones. I know there’s other ones out there. But what are the difference between these different currencies? Is Ethereum better than Bitcoin? I’ve seen all these different things. So what’s the difference between these currencies?\n\nDr. Julian Hosp:\nI know that people love to compare Bitcoin and Ethereum, but by definition these things are totally two different things. Bitcoin per se is a pure currency. It’s not a very anonymous currency. Many people believe it’s very anonymous, but it’s actually not very anonymous and there’s a lot of examples where people got caught committing crimes because they thought Bitcoin was anonymous and then the police caught them quite fast ’cause it’s not really anonymous. So Bitcoin’s a pure currency. A currency—these five definitions really, really important to understand that.\n\nEthereum, on the other hand, is more of an asset. Meaning it’s something that can be used. Bitcoin cannot be really used. Bitcoin is a currency that’s used for spending and paying and transferring. But Ethereum is actually a decentralized computer. So what I mean by this is this: think about these pages that you flip over and all you do for 10 minutes—you monitor how much people are spending and receiving. You could do the exact same thing if you monitor servers and you monitor the zeroes and ones that get updated on these servers. Instead of updating transactions, you’d update states of what computer programs are in. And what this would allow you to do is you would have a computer that is completely decentralized all over the world that’s literally impossible to stop. If you want this computer to stop, you would have to shut down every single server. Because every server has a copy of another server, of another server, of another server. And that’s what Ethereum basically is.\n\nAnd in Ethereum it’s—you have the so-called ether. But ether—yes it can be used as a currency—but the actual use of ether is actually to pay that computer and that’s called gas just like when you want to drive your car. So it’s gas. And so you need to pay gas in order to use that computer. And if you want to run a computer program on top of Ethereum you need to pay gas. So it’s a totally different system. There’s a lot of other things where Ethereum’s very similar to, there’s also other currencies and you mentioned Dash, for example but also Monroe or C-Cash.\n\nThese currencies are very, very anonymous. So they have a special type of cryptography in them that allows them to be really, really, really anonymous, so it’s really, really hard actually to even know who sent money to whom. So it’s an extra layer. You have newer protocols. There’s something called IOTA, and IOTA doesn’t even have a blockchain anymore . It has a so called tangle. A lot of people call Bitcoin the first generation of block chain, then they called Ethereum a second generation and now they’re calling IOTA this third generation of, not really blockchain but distributed ledger technologies. ‘Cause it’s distributed. You would have at the moment, you would have I would say, four or five different groups, currencies, very anonymous currencies, some assets, the IOTA kind of things.\n\nYou have a lot of these cases where you have these so called ERC20 tokens. These are tokens where companies use certain tokens to run on top of Ethereum as a computer program. This is basically what you could spread it over. It’s not that one is better than the other, it’s just a different use case. And if people ask me: Do I think in the future that Ethereum is going to be more important than Bitcoin? Who knows? I don’t know. I think Ethereum has a great use case and I think Bitcoin has a great use case.\n\nNow, I’m not offering investment advice, but change, especially in the financial space, is a lot easier to understand if you grasp the terms being used. I hope you know have a greater understanding of this new monetary system. This is a selection of a full interview that I did with Dr. Hosp here. \n\n\nhttp://www.influencive.com/breaking-blockchain-understanding-future-cryptocurrency-finance/",

There is an impression that Bitcoin imposed sanctions on Russia,\" Durov added.\n\nEarlier in the day, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said that cryptocurrencies should be regulated as a financial asset that only qualified investors should be allowed to buy and sell.\n\nhttps://sputniknews.com/world/201708281056860201-durov-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-us-hegemony/",

Sources close to the matters are always willing to speak, and sometimes the subjects themselves have no problems divulging who’s backing them.\n\nHowever, this journalist spends much of his time analyzing ICOs. As such, he wants to warn people to be careful of worrying too much what any celebrity has to say. Yes, it’s entirely possible to put large of sums into the crypto market and prosper. It’s also entirely possible to lose. It’s even easier to just buy and hold, which is something we have to reiterate in times like these.\n\n\nn fact, let’s say that one more time. While we’d never discourage anyone from getting into cryptos, as part of the cryptocurrency world, it’s the news publications’ obligation to remain skeptical of things which are extremely risky, such as ICOs. We saw recently a lot of confidence and hype poured into Enigma, then the thing was hacked and lots of money went missing. That they are giving the money back doesn’t do enough, one doesn’t think, to really bring back the confidence.\n\nAnd this is the point: people are over-confident in ICOs. FOMO has gone into hyperdrive. This time around, as pointed out by TwoBitIdiot, everyone’s complicit. Everyone’s in on it. The big firms that are entering are playing the price inflation games too, everyone’s chasing dollars and Bitcoin valuations, and no one is doing enough thinking about soundness of the products they’re getting involved with. Beginning a culture-wide sobriety regarding these high-yield investments can soften the damage that some of the worse amongst them are going to do the market.\n\nIt’s worth keeping in mind, at least.\n\nSo Mayweather can promote ICOs all he wants, but news sites and jouranlists in the cryptosphere are obligated to be more, not less, skeptical when they witness such things. In this regard, readers will have some places they can trust to be wary of all but the really brightest things in the space. In an ideal world, such a standard would have emerged, but we have seen everyone get taken for a ride at least once.\n\nScamming is in high-gear in the cryptocurrency world. We have to be extra-vigilant, and ever-more cautious in securing our coins. We also have to be less willing to jump on new things we may not fully understand. If you’re not a professional who can read a smart contract that has yet to be audited by anyone who can, then you probably should reconsider sending any money for such a thing. There could be things in there you don’t understand.\n\nThe point is, while we know that a certain firm is behind the Mayweather promotion of an ICO, we also know that he probably did make money in that venture, so he wasn’t making it up. We have to ask ourselves how much of the old world problems such as celebrity endorsements that we actually want to bring along for the ride. After all, celebrities have a habit of saying what they’re paid to say. It could be better to trust in the fundamentals, teams, and ideas, rather than invest in things that might be unsound but are well-represented in the media.\n\nhttps://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/mayweather-and-celebrity-crypto-positive-new-trend-or-troubling-sign-of-the-times/",

      "body": "**Faithful techies think in coming decades one digital coin will be worth $500,000.**\n\nhttps://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-UU950_kessle_GR_20170824164304.jpg\n\nBy Andy Kessler\n\nThe price of a Bitcoin broke $4,000 this month. It’s up 400% in 2017, and only two years ago it stood at around $230. With 16.5 million Bitcoins in “circulation,” and the potential for 4.5 million more, the market value of Bitcoin is now a whopping $72 billion. Sister currency Ethereum is worth another $32 billion.\n\nEarly Snapchat investor Jeremy Liew thinks Bitcoin will reach $500,000 by 2030. Tech eccentric John McAfee believes it’ll take only three years. That’s $1 trillion of digital coins. Now companies with an idea for applications built on top of these currencies are raising hundreds of millions through initial coin offerings. Is Bitcoin the greatest rocket ship ever or will it end up a giant smoking hole in the ground?\n\nIn its simplest form, Bitcoin enables financial-transaction services on a peer-to-peer network that no one controls. Decentralized and anonymous, it uses an innovative software structure known as the blockchain to store a public ledger across an ever-growing network of servers. Unlike Visa or Mastercard , no single company buys computers. Instead, an ingenious incentive system pays entrepreneurs fees and rewards in a made-up currency to add servers to run the intense math of cryptography algorithms. Many sit in places where electricity is cheap, like Iceland, to minimize operating costs. This blockchain is the future and the path for decentralized innovation to roll out on the cheap.\n\nAnd how does one value Bitcoins? Those who own them believe they are a currency or an asset like gold, valued for its scarcity. Others like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service view them as a security to be regulated and taxed.\n\nBut Bitcoin is actually a business. It’s software as a service—transactions for a price, like credit cards. To record a transaction on the blockchain, a customer pays an average recommended fee of 450 satoshi per byte. (A satoshi is one hundred millionth of a bitcoin.) Miners also get bitcoin rewards for adding blocks to expand capacity. Around 1,700 bitcoins are paid daily in rewards. But business-wise, this is more like being paid in equity. Each day sees about $1 million in fees and $7 million in rewards.\n\nVisa and Mastercard, who have a combined 75% of the credit-card market, get paid close to a 3% fee when you buy gas or stuff on Amazon. That is a ridiculously high fee in this day and age, and it is precisely what Bitcoin hopes to destroy. Visa and Mastercard have a combined $377 billion market capitalization. Bitcoin can go up five times just stealing their market share, right?\n\nWait a second: Visa’s value is based on those high 300-basis-point fees. I’ve been elbow deep into Bitcoin accounting, studying transaction fees, rewards and $1 billion in daily transaction volumes. Bitcoin fees come to less than one 10th of a basis point—some 3,000 times less than Visa—and I’m rounding up. Let’s generously assume these fees will rise to one basis point. That means even if Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies take the entire credit card market, this business is probably worth no more than a few billion. That pegs one Bitcoin’s value at around $100, assuming everything goes right.\n\nOr looked at another way, Bitcoin is a $400 million a year software-as-a-service business like Salesforce , which sells for around eight times its sales. That implies a $3 billion value. Potential profits might be 30% net and even at 50 times earnings you get at most $6 billion or $300 for each bitcoin in enterprise value.\n\nI’ve spoken to developers who tell me they aren’t seeing much traction with merchants accepting Bitcoin. Most transactions on the blockchain are still mining and trading. Silk Road used Bitcoin to transact illegal drug sales. Bitcoin is a favorite of money launderers and those evading capital controls and I think much of the rise in price is from Chinese and other foreign buyers trying to move capital out of their economies. Sixty percent of Ethereum was bought with Korean won. That’s scary.\n\nI’m not here to burst anyone’s bubble. The blockchain will radically alter financial services, much as Napster changed the music business. But at some point the market will wake up and apply rational valuation techniques. That price—$4,361—implies a lot of belief in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value well beyond the economic value of the transaction platform. Solid currencies are based on the growth and productivity of their countries. You can’t simply declare a currency value—not at $72 billion, much less a trillion. Sure, Bitcoin could trade to $10,000, $100,000, who knows? I just can’t get there. Maybe coin owners should appeal for tax-exempt status if the IRS would consider Bitcoin a faith-based organization.\n\nMr. Kessler writes on technology and markets for the Journal.",
