      "body": "Our first post on Steemit will be used to introduce all you blockchain and cryptocurrency lovers to the PlayMaker project and its benefits. So, without any more blah-blah, let's go...\n\n![Logo Study 3 (final) 1.0.2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVm5cvo6wgk9STo8fR5iBERXBt9BN6JRzJq1xjmsvzZTd/Logo%20Study%203%20(final)%201.0.2.png)\n\n# https://playmakerchain.com/\n\nBy incorporating modern training measuring devices with the irreversibility and immutability of the blockchain technology, PlayMaker is creating the ultimate business-focused ecosystem for sports.\n\nMaybe this sounds more complicated than it actually is? This is how we'll do it...\n\n# The Basics\n\nProfessional athletes train wearing special sensors which send the recorded training data directly to the decentralized storage in real-time. That data can be reached seamlessly by entities holding secret keys.\n\nData recorded in this irreversible way is completely trustworthy and thus, can be used for more purposes than it was possible with traditional centralized servers. Simply put, PlayMaker is introducing the sports science with the blockchain technology, producing a polyvalent database ecosystem in the process.\n__________________________________________________________________________\n![Artboard [email protected]](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQg163tti8bhhzk7wFJEDFCimWK6g7js1Bf5MdWWYQNeX/Artboard%[email protected])\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\nIf we can take an example, say that  Juventus wants to buy Luka Modrić next summer. Since Luka is already 33 years old, they want to have a detailed and trustworthy overview of his physical condition before they make a multi-million|acquisition. \n\nReal Madrid provides the access to all his training data stored on the blockchain which is secured with a private key, and, according to it, Juventus are able to make a more educated decision about the acquisition. Juventus would be able to completely trust the data presented to them as it is a known fact that data which is stored on the blockchain can’t be changed. And since it is stored in real time by the machines themselves, all “fine-tuning” of human origin is out of the equation.\n___________________________________________________________________________\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/snUODx58Jnw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n# \"A bit\" of technology\n\nPlayMaker is a project based on the blockchain technology forked off the VechainThor ledger. Its intention is to tweak and utilize Thor’s technology to present solutions for some notable problems in the world of sports. From the use of the training data harvested through the IoT devices and AI, all the way to the revolutionary ticketing system.\n\nSince this undertaking demands some improvements in the technology, instead of the approximately 10,000 transactions per second on the Thor network, the PlayMaker blockchain will handle up to 15,000 transactions per second.\n__________________________________________________________________________\n![Artboard [email protected]](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTqMoD5e8gy5eDTdaLjhKcsDioe8rKrx2W5RgLLSpHQWY/Artboard%[email protected])\n____________________________________________________________________________________\nHowever, the vision behind PlayMaker is to be complementary to VechainThor – not to compete.\n\nWhile Vechain is used mainly for supply chains in various industries, PlayMaker will be dedicated to all sports-related businesses, providing sports institutions with more transparency and business options. Therefore, PlayMaker has been made simple and tech-wise similar to VechainThor so that the system could gel with Thor’s bug fixes inside the minimal timeframe.\n\nIn short, rather than concentrating on “whose technology is fundamentally better or faster?” race, we are experiencing in the blockchain industry nowadays, PlayMaker is committed to building a trustworthy decentralized business solution with transparent information flow, collaboration, effectiveness, and high-speed throughput.\n\n#### The back end of the PlayMaker system consists of:\n\n* Blockchain as a service\n* Internet of trusted things\n* Proof-of-Authority consensus reaching mechanism\n\n#### The front end is established in 3 simple steps\n\n* Install PlayMaker\n* Run the network\n* Proxy to the network\n* Client to PlayMaker\n\n# The system with two cryptocurrencies\n\n#### PlayMaker (PMK)\nThe main utility token on the PlayMaker network used to run authority nodes and smart payments on the network. Sold during the funding campaign.\n\n#### PowerPlay (PWP)\nToken generated by the network for authority node rewards. used for executing smart contracts, writing data to the blockchain, and PMK transaction payments.\n\n# PlayMaker nodes\n\nMasternodes are elite representatives of their users on the network. In every other consensus reaching mechanism other than Proof-of-Work, nodes carry the load of the security of the entire ecosystem and are rewarded for doing so. In the Proof-of-Authority system, nodes are allocated to those that are fit to carry that burden and, therefore, eligible to harvest rewards derived from the network traffic.\n___________________________________________________\n![Artboard [email protected]](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaKocWRAuojkKwZFCiDsr7XJypCTyhqZV3M9HK4EPV33Z/Artboard%[email protected])\n____________________________________________________\nTherefore, PlayMaker users will also be able to run nodes on the network. Depending on the type of user, there will be more than a few options available, and every one of those with its special benefits.\n\nNot every PlayMaker node is reserved for the institutional elite, and all users are able to acquire and maintain the node according to their standard. Those are:\n\n#### Authority nodes\nAuthority nodes are used to validate all transactions on the PlayMaker blockchain. Although the requirements to run them are the highest, their owners will get the highest rewards. There will only be 101 authority nodes. The minimal amount of PMK to apply for one is 200.000.000. Authority nodes are selected and rated by PlayMaker and require a full KYC and application procedure. They need dedicated hardware for blockchain validation and their owners receive the highest PWP production rate along with some voting rights.\n\n#### Economy nodes\nThe economic nodes are not validating blockchain transactions, but offer stability to the ecosystem and also generate PWP income for their owners. No hardware is required, users only have to place their PMK into the PlayMaker wallet. The minimum of 400.000 PMK is required to set up the smallest node.\n\n# Bonus - The ticketing system\n\nPlayMaker App allows all fans to buy tickets online using PlayMaker’s system, which cuts down costs of ticket printing, distribution, and accounting so critically that organizations will be able to lower the prices while providing fans with the much better user experience.\n_______________________________________________________________________________________\n![Artboard [email protected]](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQMsZ8Rkf9oQbwKCY3s3WLE79mFUDB8H5hdYZjpGEjixY/Artboard%[email protected])\n_________________________________________________________________________________\nFans buy tickets for their favorite team’s matches in PlayMaker (PMK) cryptocurrency or fiat currency accepted by the organization. In the meantime,  they are able to vote in club-issued polls, like “Which jersey would you choose for the upcoming season?” or “Who was our MVP last season?” The more tickets a fan buys, the more power his/her vote holds.\n\nThis deepens the connection between clubs and fans and provides an extra level of influence a fan can have on the club’s decisions.\n\nTickets re-selling is an illegal act, and through the usage of the PlayMaker’s ticketing system, tickets black market is completely eliminated, and counterfeiting made impossible. This also benefits both, clubs and their fans, since there will be no more ridiculously inflated prices of tickets, and various problems concerning counterfeiting will be neutralized.\n\nMoreover, institutions (clubs, promotions, etc.) are now able to prevent identified troublemakers (hooligans) to attend venues, making stadiums safer for true fans and their young ones, while also potentially cutting costs of expensive stadium security.\n_______________________________________________________________________\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hkwfbzK_AVE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n# PlayMaker's market\n\nIt is widely known that sports are a huge and lucrative worldwide business and the disrupting blockchain technology is yet to penetrate this multi-billion industry.\n\nOnes of the richest organizations in sports are football (soccer) clubs, whose yearly revenue exceeds €760 million.\n\nFIFA World Cup is the biggest event in sports today, and its 2018 edition generated a gigantic revenue for the organizers as well as for the football associations. Broadcast revenue topped $2.43 billion, while sponsorships and ticket sales brought in $1.6 billion and $527 million, respectively.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n![Artboard [email protected]](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWADGhtHK8UAhk6TS4NxAd62mr94W13kJ18YQVNE2N5NZ/Artboard%[email protected])\n__________________________________________________________________________\nLooking beside football, we can take the example of the NBA champions, Golden State Warriors, whose yearly revenue tops $350 million.\n\nFurthermore, organizations promoting events for individual sports do not fall far behind, such as the famous MMA promotion organization UFC, which generated a revenue of over $700 million in 2017.\n\nPlayMaker development team considers each of these organizations (and many similar ones) to be our potential client or a partner, as our product is the first one which deals with some notable problems these businesses are encountering on a day to day basis.\n\n# If you have come this far reading...\n\nThat means that our project really caught your attention, and we definitely want to thank you for that.

      "body": "Besides the curious case of Venezuela, the rest of us living in other parts of the blue planet don’t get enough information about what’s going on with the cryptocurrency scene in countries lying south of the USA.\n\nHowever, there are more than a few large markets in that part of the world that deserve to be covered by our series of articles about ICO regulations.\n\n## Mexico\n![Mexico-regulations-300x200.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmctgFHkR1X2LDeYh3cwoXfTmPPjfAqjoPdbgTGksVrT5A/Mexico-regulations-300x200.jpeg)\n\nMexico is a huge country with almost 130 million people, according to the World Bank, and, as such, presents a significant opportunity for crowdfunding campaigns in the country.\n\nICOs in Mexico are subjected to the country’s FinTech act, whose wireframe was approved by the lower house of Congress in early March 2018, and presents a cornerstone for the “secondary laws”, which will define the complete country’s stance towards crypto assets and ICOs.\n\nICOs, as such, are not illegal in the country of tequila and guacamole. Still, companies conducting Initial Coin Offerings should be careful not to violate Mexico’s Securities and Exchange Act. In the case, their cryptocurrency is defined as a security (presents a share in the ownership of the company, brings dividends to owners, etc.), they should register their fundraiser with the appropriate government’s office.\n\n## Brasil\n![Brazil-regulations-300x300.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXd7PDcUUNEFRDrQAbEvMXGjCW79qqXncnbn1tqdtoRtc/Brazil-regulations-300x300.png)\n\nICOs are allowed in Brasil. The country’s Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), which is the equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission, keeps a close eye on the newly established market.\n\nCertain cryptocurrencies, depending on their nature, may be subjected to Brasil’s Securities and Exchanges Act, and then companies conducting such crowd sales would be required to register their offering.\n\nDespite the fact, CVM informs that no ICO was legally registered nor approved by the Commision.\n\nFurthermore, CVM also [cautions investors](http://www.cvm.gov.br/subportal_ingles/menu/international/ico_statement.html) to consider specific risks when investing:\n\n* Fraud and Ponzi schemes\n* Lack of suitability rules\n* Money laundering and tax evasion\n* Service providers noncompliant with regulation\n* Promotional advertising material that does not comply with CVM rules and regulations\n* Operational risks in trading environments not monitored by the CVM\n* Cybernetic risks associated with management and custody of virtual assets\n* The operational risk related to virtual assets and their respective systems\n* Volatility associated with virtual assets\n* Liquidity\n* Legal and operational challenges in cases of litigation with issuers, considering the virtual and cross-border nature of the operations with virtual assets\n\nIn January 2018, CVM declared that cryptocurrencies are not considered to be financial assets.\n\n## Argentina\n![argentina-regulations-211x300.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPJBwxCUADEhQ9e3BZ5Y7nkVevE46k9nio5CXcVjyLXj9/argentina-regulations-211x300.jpg)\n\nSimilarly to the situation in Brasil, Argentina’s Comisión Nacional de Valores (The National Securities Market Commission) stated that ICOs aren’t regulated by any law of the country.\n\nNevertheless, if certain cryptocurrency offered through such crowdfunding campaign has some characteristics of a security, that ICO falls under the country’s Commercial Code of the Nation and Article 2 of the Capital Market Law.\n\nThose who fail to comply could face administrative and criminal liabilities.\n\n ## Colombia\n![colombia-regulations-300x222.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfTucTDi8KZwSQftwc79tYRcuzhnPqP67zPyQYBJ4H8C5/colombia-regulations-300x222.jpg)\n\nICOs are allowed in Colombia, with a slight warning from the country’s Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (Financial Superintendence of Colombia) that investors are not in any way protected by any government’s body if they decide to fund one such project.\n\nCryptocurrencies aren’t legally considered to be currencies and don’t represent a legal tender.\n\n ## Bolivia and Ecuador\n![countries-SA-regulations-300x225.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNSohkgVomVKmHQJg6Zp4jRNq5Vjwt8MnziBryDkwHHGb/countries-SA-regulations-300x225.jpg)\n\nCryptocurrencies and ICOs are entirely banned in these two countries.\n\nBolivian government issued a ban as early as 2014, reminding citizens that it is strictly forbidden to use any currency which is not approved and regulated by the country’s laws. Moreover, 60 individuals were arrested for conducting a workshop connected to crypto.\n\nMeanwhile, Ecuador devised a specific regulatory framework along with the country’s digital currency completely backed and controlled by Banco Central del Ecuador. That set of regulations bans all other decentralized forms of currencies, such as Bitcoin.\n\nConsequently, ICOs are also prohibited under the Organic Monetary and Financial Organic Code.\n\n## Venezuela\n![venezuela-regulations-300x258.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTLCukM2fugVqFBBx3TRC8QtbkCqHyC9hukEoS2bdVQ1M/venezuela-regulations-300x258.png)\n\nVenezuela has the most curious case of all countries on the continent south of the US.\n\nPresident Nicolás Maduro, to deal with the economic crisis that’s been shaking the country, [issued the first government-backed ICO](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/07/30/venezuelas-president-promotes-crypto-in-attempt-to-prevent-economy-collapse/) of the national cryptocurrency, Petro Moneda, which is backed by country’s natural resources, such as gold, oil, and gas. Just on its first day of launch, the oil-backed crypto [raised $735 million](http://fortune.com/2018/02/21/petro-bitcoin-venezuela-ico-cryptocurrency-maduro/).\n\nConsidering other such crowdfunding campaigns, the country has no specific legal framework which regulates the crypto space.\n\n### You can check my original article [HERE](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/11/27/ico-regulations-central-south-america/)",

      "body": "#### And a Brief Speculation About the Future...\n\n\n![Countries-ICO-regulations-blockchainLand-748x405.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXshGH5e6Fm1Mdy6BfZZD5qDEKpPdvPsjEnbGSA1nuU5w/Countries-ICO-regulations-blockchainLand-748x405.jpg)\n\nAfter the unregulated el dorado of late 2017, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), along with the whole cryptocurrency market, have been declining throughout 2018.\n\nOne of the reasons for that is the unclear or overly traditional regulatory wireframe that plagues the majority of the biggest markets in the world.\n\nTherefore, we are going to present the stance that each of those market’s regulator has taken towards ICOs, starting with an overview of the United States, the largest countries in the European Union and other significant actors across the globe. The next article in the series will approach regulations in Central and South America, followed by a final overview of the market’s regulations in South East Asia and Australia.\n\nLet’s begin with the market that has had a significant role in dictating the trend in ICOs.\n\n## The United States of America\n![united-states.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbKWoztVpC7vyB13Lw1S5CHoe1TuTRmSFerpN2Ky2TPwp/united-states.jpeg)\n\nThe US Securities and Exchange Commission is already known for its rather harsh scrutiny, which is somewhat suffocating the development of the young cryptocurrency market.\n\nHowever, the regulatory framework varies from state to state, as some lack regulations, while others request deposits to conduct a crowdfunding with utility tokens. On the federal level, there is also no specific rules regulating ICOs.\n\nThe thing is that most SEC commissioners consider cryptocurrencies to be securities, and as such, they should oblige to a strict set of laws despite the fact that two of the most prominent coins, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), have been declared as not being securities.\n\nICOs which have been defined as security offerings have to register and get confirmed by the SEC if they want to comply with the traditional Securities and Exchange Act. Furthermore, they have to implement a full Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) mechanisms.\n\nLately, the SEC has been doing due diligence on ICOs which conducted their fundraising campaigns in 2017 and 2018. During the investigation, if the commission finds that some of them have been offering unregistered securities, the companies will be shut down, suffering extensive repercussions in the process.\n\n## European Union\n![european-union.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdto2UHfeWw2PN472moCRRxstuyzUSgtrzzpX9XHQsxts/european-union.jpg)\n\nEuropean Union, although it is called that, cannot be looked upon as a unique regulatory environment. Some countries still don’t have any crypto regulations, while others took a friendly stance, promoting new ways of crowdfunding.\n\n#### Germany\n![germany-ICO-regulations.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZgh2KriXTqmcg6igiofNfqoeYBpirjfCT2CwN34yKB3A/germany-ICO-regulations.jpg)\n\nGermany allows ICOs until they collide with the whole existing, untuned set of legal acts. Banking Act, the Investment Act, Securities Trading Act, Payment Services Supervision Act, and Prospectus Acts are examples of laws in the country that companies conducting ICOs should keep in mind.\n\nHowever, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is leaving investors somewhat unprotected as they state that they are not guaranteeing the security of their identity, and understanding of the risks of the investment.\n\n#### France\n![france-ico-regulations.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZfrfWP4BPnY3johCmG8MvPyuRrsvv1Xq9DPhkyXMwwDX/france-ico-regulations.jpg)\n\nAlthough France has been unprepared for the rise of digital assets, it is catching up quickly with the rest of the crypto-friendly pack. The [new framework](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/09/27/french-ico-revolution/) with the working title Plan d’Action pour la Croissance et la Transformation des Entreprises (PACTE) has already passed through the half of the parliament procedure and is looking to bring a crypto-friendly set of regulations.\n\nICOs are allowed, and crypto tokens are defined as “immaterial items, representing in digital form one or more rights, which could be issued, compiled, kept and transferred through a digital shared instrument, allowing to identify — directly or indirectly — its owner.”\n\nICO quality certificates, which will be implemented with PACTE, are voluntary, and [taxes have been lowered](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/11/12/french-government-to-decrease-crypto-taxes/) to 30% flat, as it is normal for capital gains.\n\n#### The United Kingdom\n![united-kingdom-ico-regulation-193x300.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZPcT4ckYyNTGfjEUxN9YFGm2y58VgPcbLqGHxPDrqrfa/united-kingdom-ico-regulation-193x300.png)\n\nAlthough ICOs in the UK are allowed, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has already warned investors that, usually, companies behind ICOs are still experimenting with their would-be products, so there is a possibility that investors could lose their invested funds.\n\nSince the FCA considers cryptocurrencies to be private currencies, issued for private business cases, it cannot be forbidden to issue them, or use them for crowdfunding purposes.\n\n #### Other EU Countries\n\nThe rest of the EU has ICOs allowed, mostly because there is no regulatory framework at all, with the exceptions of Finland and Norway, where ICOs are subjected to the standard capital gains and wealth taxation.\n\n## China\n![china-regulations.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZpL2jTBhPJKFmj89BcdPUudt9kMhEY1YbEaswfiAh17i/china-regulations.jpeg)\n\nCryptocurrencies, ICOs, cryptocurrency exchanges, and crypto trading have been completely banned in China. The Chinese government is practicing the highest possible level of scrutiny towards any kind of crypto projects, including crowdfundings.\n\nPeople’s Bank of China (PBoC) has also ordered all companies which finished their ICOs to refund the investors and threatened any of the mentioned entities with harsh repercussions if they don’t comply.\n\n## Japan\n![japan-ico-regulation.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ3K1arqavV83Getgr2AzBkENjNzM4tguNVgJGYj7Pj7G/japan-ico-regulation.jpg)\n\nJapan has warned their citizens of the uncertainty following ICOs. However, these kinds of fundraisers are still allowed, provided that they comply with KYC/AML requirements that the Financial Services Agency (FSA) had put before them.\n\nStill, the crypto space has been given a certain level of self-regulatory ability in Japan, as the FSA has placed the Japanese Virtual Currency Exchange Association in charge of overviewing the market.\n\n## Canada\n![canada-ico-regulation.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaTXLnDof4Cjn6CYUBfAtvKyP2v68phzk6VuUeAqakVXY/canada-ico-regulation.jpeg)\n\nCanada has, by now, been lenient with cryptocurrencies and ICOs. However, lately, they have started to follow their southern neighbors. The recent news of the new regulations have reached our ears, and we can say that they are preparing the turf for a much higher level of scrutiny, which will encompass fiat to crypto exchanges and even cryptocurrency wallets.\n\nUntil now, ICOs were allowed. However, after the Canadian House Finance Committee published their [recommendations](https://ipolitics.ca/2018/11/14/cryptocurrencies-need-regulating-to-prevent-money-laundering-committee/), it remains to be seen how ICOs will be treated.\n\n## Russia\n![russia-ico-regulations-200x300.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYMRzFxV8bNYfStJU9AEVddKVKKo2mCc2UcSFw9GSgbVj/russia-ico-regulations-200x300.jpg)\n\nRussia has an unclear stance towards ICOs. Kremlin requests all utility token-based crowdfunding to be registered, taxed, and that other country’s securities laws be applied to the crowdfunding in question.\n\n## What does the future hold?\n\nWe wouldn’t be revealing a big secret if we said that the US dictates the financial market of the western world. Countries like the United Kingdom and Canada might be following the biggest empire of the west when regulating ICOs is concerned.\n\nStill, Europe is, obviously taking another route as France, of bigger countries, is looking to exploit the opportunity that emerged with the world’s leading economic powers defensive policy.\n\nChina, as another enormous market, has declared their intentions clearly, and there is no sign that their restrictive regulations will soon change.\n\nHowever, as always, in all that regulatory madness, there are a few smaller countries that deserve to be mentioned as they are providing the most fertile ground for the development of the cryptocurrency businesses from start to finish.\n\n[Malta](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/07/05/malta-is-the-first-country-to-enact-the-full-legal-framework-that-regulates-blockchain-and-cryptocurrencies/), [Cyprus](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/09/13/cyprus-the-island-is-ready-for-blockchain/), [Liechtenstein](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/10/12/next-in-the-small-nations-series-liechtenstein/), and [Gibraltar](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/07/31/gibraltar-united-football-club-will-pay-their-players-in-cryptocurrencies/) are among those that already managed to lure in some of the most prominent names in the industry, such as Binance or OKEx, with their clear set of crypto-friendly regulations.\n\nIn the end, there is also a dubious case of Venezuela, whose president, Nicolás Maduro, has conducted their own ICO of their cryptocurrency Petro, which they are [heavily promoting](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/07/30/venezuelas-president-promotes-crypto-in-attempt-to-prevent-economy-collapse/) even though there is no existing wallet or code published.\n\nThe next few years will be crucial for the broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies, as well as for the crowdfunding campaigns derived from them. It will be interesting to see all the influences and turns the new technology is going to go through before the possible main-stream recognition.\n\nThose who thought that things would be easy, were, obviously, very wrong. And with the USA leading the way in the west, it is bound to get even tougher for ICOs and willing investors.\n\n### You can check my original article [HERE](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/11/21/overview-ico-regulations-biggest-markets/)",

      "title": "ADA Prepaid Card Released by EMURGO and Metaps Plus (From: TheBlockchainLand)",
      "body": "![ADA-prepaid-card-blockchainLand-696x405.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSyVSimB2UNoULZs1a7eF1dQHVs96qjETr2Dff5HMArND/ADA-prepaid-card-blockchainLand-696x405.png)\n\nAccording to the [official release](https://emurgo.io/metaps-cryptocard/) published on December 11th by the venture arm of the Cardano project, EMURGO, the company has, in cooperation with Metaps Plus, launched the first cryptocurrency pre-paid card based on Cardano’s ADA cryptocurrency.\n\nThe new ADA-based card is usable in 30,000 offline merchants in South Korea, among which are some well-known convenience stores such as GS25 and Emart24. The card comes in two forms – a mobile gift card and a physical gift card.\n\nIt was reported that Metaps Plus received 200 pre-orders for cards available in denominations of 100 and 1,000 ADA.\n\nAt the moment, the card is usable only in South Korea, and it is still unknown if EMURGO will be making a move to release something similar in other countries.\n\n## The move for wider adoption\n\nTalking about their new venture, EMURGO’s CEO, Ken Kodama expressed his satisfaction with the completion of the integration of ADA with Metaps Plus.\n\n>*\"This means people will be able to make purchases via mobile app, but there is even more than that. Now with the ability to charge ADA onto a CRYPTO CARD, people in Korea will be able to take their ADA and physically hold it in their hands and use it in their daily life,”* he said, also revealing hopes to see the widespread adoption of this new method of payment.\n\n>*\"EMURGO was the only partner ready with deep understanding into offline payment integration and strategic focus to provide a practical application for cryptocurrencies,”* stated the CEO of Metaps Plus, Seungyeon Kim. *“We plan to develop this product further to ensure we have solid use cases for broader offline adoption with Korean online and offline merchants,”* he concluded.\n\n## Market remains unimpressed\nEven though the release of the prepaid card can be considered as a noteworthy move, investors failed to recognize it as such as the price of ADA continued to decline, probably due to the overall market conditions.\n\n![ADA.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfDvUJnvpVhsdgKCwCkM6KhVbwFvXyqEevMVJYyNESoid/ADA.jpg)\n\nThroughout the first seven days, ADA lost 5.44% of its value and dropped to $0.029, as all parameters showed that it has been massively oversold. Despite the drawback, Cardano is currently recovering, and the price climbed to the today's $033, and still ADA sits just outside the top 10 cryptocurrencies, with the market capitalization of $865 million and $41 million of daily trading volume.\n\n## Numbers are not everything\nCardano remains one of the most promising projects in the blockchain development industry. Earlier this month, the development team working on Cardano, IOHK, announced the Cardano testnet, which will be very helpful for the developers of the blockchain as well as for 3rd party developers.\n\nFurthermore, EMURGO has teamed up with Ripple, NEM, and Fetch.AI on the “Blockchain for Europe” initiative focused on the wider adoption of new technologies on the European continent.\n\nThe development of Cardano is starting to show results, and it will be interesting to follow the project in 2019 and see what the team behind the project, led by the co-founder of Ethereum, Charles Hoskinson, have in their sleeves.\n\n### You can check my original article [HERE](https://theblockchainland.com/2018/12/14/ada-prepaid-card-emurgo-metaps-plus/)\n#### Use [Coinalyze Trading Tool](https://coinalyze.net/coin/cardano/) for analysis",

      "body": "![greedy-people.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVJF8fxZjoaxp2X6TFwaXAXaNurnRH9jgDrY8vBwowf1F/greedy-people.jpg)\n\nIt is well known by now that Telegram's ICO has been a gargantuan success with 1.7 Billion dollars raised only in private round of the offering.\nNow, that they decided to cancel their public offering we are all left wondering about the true motivation behind it. After all, the average user, not Roman Abramovic, supported those guys from the very beginning of their platform, thus making it widely accepted. They decided not to give an average Joe the opportunity to invest in a platform that he/she possibly used from the start.\n\nWhy? Oh, why?!\n\nThere can be a variety of reasons for that:\n\n-The fear of the regulatory bodies in various countries (and the ICO party may, in fact, really be over worldwide.\nThe regulatory body considers investors in the private round as partners of the project who bought their voting rights in form of the financial injection.\n\n-The same reasons why one PoW startup pre-mines a huge chunk of their coins - greed and control.\nWell, you don't expect me to go in-depth on this, do you?\n\n-The private-sale whales\nLet's take Roman Abramovich as an example. Supposedly, he slipped his hard-earned $300,000,000 into this. Now, if you were him, wouldn't you want to have some kind of control over the product you invested so heavily into? Don't forget that those big players demand big rewards, and if Telegram didn't cancel the public round of the offering,  the market would probably be flooded with their coins (people just can't help adoring the hyped-up project), making Mr. Abramovich's coins worth much less (no artificial scarcity created) and be a potential victim of some serious dumping in the first days on the exchanges. Early dumping, as we all know, seriously reduces the hype level and speculator's belief that they can actually make money.\n\n![01-pyramid-of-power-all-seeing-eye-financial-elite.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRs2RKn6F2Vsfm9TUmfYBqoRQ1QCauUEUbxHhaszy8m1W/01-pyramid-of-power-all-seeing-eye-financial-elite.jpg)\n\nFollowing the \"Satoshi's vision\" of what cryptocurrencies should be, we must come to a conclusion that the decentralization is one of the main postulates. Taking the power away from the few and giving it to many. By making this kind of move, Telegram took everything that an average believer hoped for and thrown it into a toilet. Sadly, they are just another brick in the wall of corruption, greed, manipulation, and perverse power-lust that stands between cryptocurrencies and the real financial evolution.\n\nAll this is well connected to [an article I wrote a few days ago.](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@kapetanic/the-future-of-cryptocurrencies-where-are-speculators-and-icos-taking-us)\n\nWill they flush that toilet? \n\nWell, I know I could use some washing up 'cause even writing about this makes me feel dirty.\n\nWhat do you think about all this?\nLeave a comment, argument, or even consider resteeming! ;-)",

      "body": "If you are into this game of cryptocurrencies for more than a year, you are probably used to all this pump and dump, panic selling, FUD/FOMO party that has been going on for quite some time now. Those that have joined \"the club\" recently (and I know more than a few guys out there that invested in BTC at $17,000 despite me telling them not to) are probably out of their skin, biting their nails, 'cause every time the market looks like the bull run is coming it turns out to be just another bull trap which leaves deeper burn-marks on the portfolio.\n\n![CMC.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRCqMmEY8zsJqtEaxBK4MW52MhMumutrV47pUncoCHe2x/CMC.jpg)\n\nBasically, this is what has been experienced by the investors every year since the dawn of the blockchain based currencies and this article will try to help all of you to understand the mechanics and the politics behind the \"revolution\" that cryptocurrencies are often taught to be.\n\nFirst, I will try to deduce the actual connection between the development team/company and their respectful token.\n\nWhy does a great piece of news from the Ethereum Foundation have any impact on the price of ETH cryptocurrency? \n\"Well, it's the same as on the stock market!\"\nNo, it isn't.\nWhen you buy some company's stock, you become the partial owner of that company and are entitled to a yearly dividend. The only connection between the ETH coin and the foundation is based in the fact that the success of the foundation is a  great marketing piece which will be the reason for more investors to buy in, looking for a quick buck. \nNo more, no less.\nBuying a huge number of ETH (or the majority of other coins or tokens on the exchanges) is doing no more than giving you the opportunity to speculate on its future value and, let's face it, speculation is nothing more than trying to buy an asset from some sucker who is panic-selling at its lowest and selling it to another sucker (or even the same one) at its peak.\n\nWho benefits most?\n\n-the exchanges that charge for listing and traders fees\n-the development teams/founders who keep hold of the big percentage of the cryptocurrency\n\nCentralized exchanges keep hold of your coins without offering you the security that one would expect of the company dealing with billions of dollars worth a day. They even sometimes don't support cryptocurrency forks so less informed holders don't get the new cryptocurrency they are entitled to if they kept their coins on the exchange. So who gets those coins? Well, those nice guys from the exchange can easily keep them for themselves. Yes, we can not overlook the existence of decentralized exchanges but they are rarely user-friendly and the support is usually nerve-rackingly bad (in my experience, and I have plenty). \n[Take a look at this interesting article](https://cryptobriefing.com/raining-cash-binance/)\n\nThe development teams can have two kinds of leaders.\n-Skilled blockchain developers interested in the possibilities of the technology they deal with, highly motivated to bring us the biggest tech-revolution (or evolution as some like to call it) since the internet (like Vitalik Buterin) are the guys that mostly don't have their priorities set towards pumping the price of the coin. As the focus is mainly set on the tech-improvement, that can sometimes lead to certain development decisions which can negatively influence the price.\n-Marketing guys, whose sole purpose is keeping their coin in the hype, carefully selling their product, sometimes trying to bring down direct \"competition\" (like Roger Ver). Now, these guys are the most dangerous people. If they are good at what they do (marketing), the consequences of them shilling their cryptocurrency can be much severe than usual when we face another bear phase. \n\nEither way, they do not look upon the average investor as somebody whose interests they should protect. If that was the case, they would give us the percentage of the ownership of their company and voting rights.\n\nThat brings us to the ICOs.\nNow, imagine if I told you to give me some money to start my own company, from which I could earn myself a lot of money, and in exchange, I give you some asset that isn't tied to my company in any other way other than the fact that the company issued it. After the curtain opens, you are left with the \"asset\" that can be utterly useless in a few months and I am left with your hard earned money, all set to start building my business empire. No insurances and no repercussions. Get the picture?\n\nThis all may seem as I am just emphasizing the negative aspects of the cryptocurrencies but the truth is that I strongly believe in the future of the blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are just a feature of the technology which is often being misused. My opinion is that **cryptocurrencies failed in regulating themselves**, which could easily lead to the unfortunate regulations by the governments that do not understand (or feel threatened by) the technological advancement that blockchain can bring to the economy, business, and everyday life.\n\nUntil an average investor can feel secure investing in the cryptocurrencies, we will not see wider adoption and use.\n\nOne possible solution is the security tokens which could easily be the game changer because of the fact that they would offer their investors real value in a form of the ownership and revenue percentage. The investors would be motivated to keep hold of their assets more if that would enable them to have a real passive income that is tied to the success of the project they invested in. That would also quickly filter the companies out there and deduce the ones that are doing the job from the gimme-money-and-disappear ones.\n\n![STO.PNG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTSEgjKhM6XSXwMtVLhnTXxpmXqQwqnNE7bRYmKQ4x8LY/STO.PNG)\n\n\"Yes, but that would bring the SEC in the game\", you say?\nTo paraphrase one of my colleagues: \"The fact that the police often isn't doing its job the right way doesn't mean it shouldn't exist\".\n\n[Maybe this is the start](https://polymath.network/)\n\nLastly, I want to know what you think, so feel free to comment, argue or just say hello!",
