      "body": "There’s still a lot of confusion on what are cryptocurrencies and what are cryptokens(cryptocurrency tokens).\nCryptocurrencies are coins with monetary value that fuels the operations of a network. Think of it like this, for a car to work, it requires energy from a source like gas. A car will only work if you put gas in it, otherwise its main function as a transportation vehicle becomes useless. Cryptocurrencies fuel a certain blockchain network. Cryptocurrencies fuels a blockchain network with a certain purpose. Bitcoins have real-world value and its considered a cryptocurrency because it fuels the network operations. Miners only process transactions because they receive bitcoins in reward and it has value. Ethereum fuels its smart contract environment. Its blockchains’ main function is to create smart contracts. \nCryptokens represent an asset. It has been used as a securities token to fund projects and startups. Cryptokens can be compared to a stock that represents part of ownership of a company. They operate on a blockchain that is fueled by a cryptocurrency. Ethereum and Waves platforms are blockchains that allow you to create cryptokens using smart contracts where you define the quantity and operations such as send, create and destroy cryptokens. There have been many controversies because the SEC (securities and exchange commission) says cryptokens aren’t following protocol and securities laws. \nIn conclusion, cryptocurrencies and cryptokens are quite different in what they represent and are used for. Their similarities are that they are operated and created in a blockchain environment.",

      "body": "English\n\nCryptocurrency has come to decentralize payment systems. However, there a few misconceptions and wrong information going around about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, fees, transaction times and scalability. \n\nThe volatility of the cryptocurrencies have been a barrier in cryptocurrency acceptance. Stablecoins have become a joke in terms of trust. Tether was the first stablecoin backed by USD reserves but in practice, Bitfinex(the maintainer of the coin) has been involved in loss scandals and unable to prove that they actually own the amount of tether in existence. In other words, Tether and some other coins deemed “stable” are centralized and completely against the concepts of cryptocurrencies.\n\nOur current payment system and store of value currently has three major sectors: Gold for high value storage, Silver for middle value and traditional currencies for everyday transactions. The age where traditional currencies were backed by precious metals are long gone. \n\nA countries’ external debt is calculated based on how much richness they own vs how much of it actually exists.  An example is the united states staggering 20 trillion dollar external debt. In simple terms, this means that if everyone and every country that owns dollars want to exchange it for something of universal value like gold, they would be short 20 trillion dollars or however much that is in gold or silver. The world's wealth are in gold reserves. Whenever a country needs to pay a debt to another in terms of billions, the rational thing to do is pay in Gold instead of printing billions in paper money. \n\nBitcoin wasn’t created to be an everyday currency. It was created to be the gold of the digital era. Refer to my article on Bitcoin - Digital Gold for more details. \nThree cryptocurrencies will prevail in the financial market to be used for payments and they can be compared to current methods.\n\nHigh value: Bitcoin\nMiddle value: Litecoin (or similar)\nLow value: NANO, Doge, NEM, Stellar\n\nThe reason for this prediction is simple, scarcity. Let's analyze and compare Bitcoin to Litecoin in relation to Gold and Silver.\nAccording to https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-01/visualizing-all-silver-world there is 166,500 tons of gold and 777,275 tons of silver which makes its supply approximately 4 times  that of Gold. Bitcoin will only have 21 million units ever created because of its creating mathematical algorithm whereas Litecoin will have 84 million units, also approximately 4 times. This is not a coincidence. These cryptocurrencies are using real-world financial fundamentals to virtualize and facilitate the store and transfer of wealth in the digital world. \n\nBitcoin is destined to be a store of value because of its scarcity. Since only 21 million units will be created, then you won’t be able to mine or create it. Offer and demand will make its price skyrocket, eventually stabilizing at a price that people will pay based on how much is in circulation.\nLitecoin will be used for million-dollar purchases like houses, companies and expensive machinery, among other items that cost millions. 84 Million litecoins will exist, that’s quite alot and reasonable to have an economical value of it being in the tens of thousands. \nThe low value coins such as Nano, Doge, Stellar and NEM have a cap of billions and hundreds of billions being produced. Coins such as Doge have a inflationary control mechanism where every year 5 billion new coins are created. This is to maintain offer and demands elasticity. These types of coins will allow us to buy cups of coffees by paying a reasonable amount such as 10-20 coins, instead of paying 0.0004 in litecoins or 0.00000004 bitcoins. It’ll be easier to manage and not to mention that their transaction time is in seconds with extremely low to zero-fees like Nano. \n\nIn conclusion, we already have three types of value-transfer and value-store except they are risky, bulky or centralized. Cryptocurrencies have opened doors for a more flexible capitalism by facilitating the asset management in the economy. I foresee a future where we don’t need banks and globalization will expand opportunities to people will limited access to the outside world where access is controlled by greedy corporations looking to enslave the low-income classes. \n\n\nPortuguês \n\nCriptomoedas chegaram para descentralizar os sistemas de pagamento. No entanto, existem alguns equívocos e informações erradas sobre Bitcoin, criptomoedas, taxas, tempos de transação e escalabilidade.\n\nA volatilidade das criptomoedas tem sido uma barreira na aceitação de criptomoedas. Stablecoins se tornaram uma piada em termos de confiança. Tether foi a primeira stablecoin lastrada em reservas de USD, mas na prática, Bitfinex (o emissor da moeda) esteve envolvido em escândalos de perda e incapacidade de comprovar que eles realmente possuem a quantidade de tether em existência em dólar. Em outras palavras, Tether e algumas outras moedas consideradas “estáveis” são centralizadas e completamente contra os conceitos de criptomoedas.\n\nAtualmente, existem três setores principais de reserva de valor em nosso sistema de pagamentos: ouro para armazenamento de alto valor, prata para valor médio e moedas tradicionais para transações cotidianas. A era em que as moedas tradicionais eram apoiadas por metais preciosos já se foram há muito tempo.\n\nA dívida externa de um país é calculada com base na quantidade de riqueza que possui em reserva tipo ouro. Um exemplo é a dívida externa de 20 trilhões de dólares dos estados unidos. Em termos simples, isso significa que, se todos que possuem dólares quiser trocá-lo por algo de valor universal como o ouro, eles estariam com 20 trilhões de dólares a menos ou o quanto que é em ouro ou prata. A riqueza do mundo está em reservas de ouro. Sempre que um país precisa pagar uma dívida a outro em termos de bilhões, a coisa racional a fazer é pagar em ouro em vez de imprimir bilhões em papel-moeda.\n\n\nO Bitcoin não foi criado para ser uma moeda cotidiana. Foi criado para ser o ouro da era digital. Consulte meu artigo sobre Bitcoin - Digital Gold para mais detalhes.\nTrês criptomoedas vão prevalecer no mercado financeiro para serem usadas para pagamentos e podem ser comparadas aos métodos atuais.\n\nAlto valor: Bitcoin\nValor médio: Litecoin (ou similar)\nValor baixo: NANO, Doge, NEM, Stellar\n\nA razão para essa previsão é simples, escassez. Vamos analisar e comparar o Bitcoin e Litecoin em relação ao Ouro e Prata.\nDe acordo com https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-01/visualizing-all-silver-world \nexiste 166.500 toneladas de ouro e 777.275 toneladas de prata, o que torna o suprimento da prata aproximadamente 4 vezes maior do que o ouro. O Bitcoin terá apenas 21 milhões de unidades criadas por causa de seu algoritmo matemático, enquanto o Litecoin terá 84 milhões de unidades, também aproximadamente 4 vezes. Isto não é uma coincidência. Essas criptomoedas estão usando os fundamentos financeiros do mundo real para virtualizar e facilitar a armazenagem e transferência de riqueza no mundo digital.\n\nBitcoin está destinado a ser uma reserva de alto valor por causa de sua escassez. Como apenas 21 milhões de unidades serão criadas, você não poderá minera-las ou criá-las. Oferta e demanda farão com que seu preço suba rapidamente, eventualmente se estabilizando a um preço que as pessoas pagarão com base em quanto está em circulação, semelhante ao preço estável do ouro.\nO Litecoin será usado para compras milionárias, como casas, empresas e maquinários caro, entre outros na casa dos milhões. 84 milhões de litecoins vão ser geradas, o que é bastante razoável ela ter um valor econômico de dezenas de milhares.\nAs moedas de baixo valor como Nano, Doge, Stellar e NEM têm um limite de bilhões e centenas de bilhões sendo produzidos. Moedas como o Doge possuem um mecanismo de controle inflacionário, onde cada ano 5 bilhões de novas moedas são emitidas. Isso é para manter a elasticidade da oferta e demanda. Estes tipos de moedas vão nos permitir comprar xícaras de café pagando uma quantia razoável como 10-20 moedas, em vez de pagar 0,0004 em litecoins ou 0,00000004 bitcoins. Será mais fácil gerenciar sem mencionar que o tempo de transação é em segundos, com taxas extremamente baixas e até zero, como o Nano.\n\nEm conclusão, temos três tipos de valor no modelo econômico atual, exceto que são arriscados, volumosos ou centralizados. Criptomoedas abriram as portas para um capitalismo mais flexível, facilitando a gestão de ativos na economia. Eu prevejo um futuro em que não precisamos de bancos e a globalização, expandindo as oportunidades para as pessoas que tem acesso limitado ao mundo externo, onde o acesso é controlado por corporações gananciosas que querem escravizar as classes de baixa renda.",

      "body": "English\n\nBlockchain is a new form for processing and storing data. In simple terms, it is a decentralized server because it acts on both principals of a server - process and store of data. However, it does so in a decentralized manner. A blockchain is nothing more than a linked list data structure stored in many devices. It stores current and past states of objects.\n\nImagine this, there are three pieces of paper and each piece represents a block in the blockchain. They are connected together by a string. On all three pieces, there is a blank ball drawn. The ball is your object. On all three instances, it’s the same ball(object) throughout our demonstration. On the first piece of paper, you color the ball red. That is currently the state of the ball, it is a red ball. And you did this at some point in time, let’s say at 1pm. On the second piece of paper, you color the ball blue at 2pm. And on the third, you color it green at 3pm. The ball passed through three states in three different times. The current time is 4pm.\n \nWhen we query the blockchain for our object, the ball, it will return its last state which is the green ball. Notice that each paper is connected through a string, this creates the chain of “blocks”. \n\n\nPortuguês\n\nBlockchain é uma nova forma de processamento e armazenamento de dados. Em termos simples, é um servidor descentralizado porque atua nos dois princípios de um servidor - processamento e armazenamento de dados. No entanto, faz isso de maneira descentralizada. Um blockchain nada mais é do que uma estrutura de dados de lista ligada armazenada em vários lugares. Ele armazena estados atuais e passados ​​de objetos.\n\nImagine isso, existem três pedaços de papel e cada pedaço representa um bloco no blockchain. Eles estão ligados por uma linha. Em todas as três peças, há uma bola em branco desenhada. A bola é o seu objeto. Nos três casos, é a mesma bola(objeto) na nossa explicação. No primeiro pedaço de papel, você pinta a bola de vermelho. Esse é atualmente o estado da bola, é uma bola vermelha. E você fez isso em algum momento, digamos às 13h. No segundo pedaço de papel, você pinta a bola de azul às 14h. E no terceiro, você pinta de verde às 15h. A bola passou por três estados em três momentos diferentes. A hora atual é 16h.\n\nQuando solicitamos o objeto, a bola, ele retornará seu último estado, que é a bola verde. Observe que cada papel é conectado por uma linha, isso cria a cadeia de “blocos”.",

      "body": "An analysis will be made comparing the clearances of credit cards and Cryptocurrency in terms of security, cost, liquidation time and efficiency. Six common scenarios will be analyzed using both types of payments, weaving out the pros and cons of each one. Although Cryptocurrency is still in an initial state, there's no doubt it has come to stay and revolutionize the clearance process. Unlike credit cards that have high fees and a long, costly and bureaucratic process to balance out, Cryptocurrency works by blockchain which can be used from lending money, running applications, creating smart contracts without the risk of fraud, interference, censorship and downtime. Credit cards require 3 components to function (acquirer, issuer and brand) that creates a complex and expensive infrastructure. Cryptocurrency requires only one component, the Blockchain. You can be your own bank without the need of any third party applications or assistance. The object we will be studying is the clearance comparison between these two forms of payment systems and how they differ, are similar, in what aspect each payment method is better and how secure each one can be. How the clearance process compares to each other and what factors can influence a transaction from start to finish, what can or can't happen during the process from when the consumer initiates a transaction until it is cleared and considered successful for the receiving party. Also, what factors can cause the clearance process to be interrupted, fraudulent or fail in various situations for businesses or civilians.\n\nFULL RESEARCH:\n\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/clearance-comparison-between-credit-cards-nicholas-leonardi/",

      "body": "An analysis will be made comparing the clearances of credit cards and Cryptocurrency in terms of security, cost, liquidation time and efficiency. Six common scenarios will be analyzed using both types of payments, weaving out the pros and cons of each one. Although Cryptocurrency is still in an initial state, there's no doubt it has come to stay and revolutionize the clearance process. Unlike credit cards that have high fees and a long, costly and bureaucratic process to balance out, Cryptocurrency works by blockchain which can be used from lending money, running applications, creating smart contracts without the risk of fraud, interference, censorship and downtime. Credit cards require 3 components to function (acquirer, issuer and brand) that creates a complex and expensive infrastructure. Cryptocurrency requires only one component, the Blockchain. You can be your own bank without the need of any third party applications or assistance. The object we will be studying is the clearance comparison between these two forms of payment systems and how they differ, are similar, in what aspect each payment method is better and how secure each one can be. How the clearance process compares to each other and what factors can influence a transaction from start to finish, what can or can't happen during the process from when the consumer initiates a transaction until it is cleared and considered successful for the receiving party. Also, what factors can cause the clearance process to be interrupted, fraudulent or fail in various situations for businesses or civilians.\n\nFULL RESEARCH:\n\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/clearance-comparison-between-credit-cards-nicholas-leonardi/",

      "body": "After reading this article published by CoinDesk: \nhttp://www.coindesk.com/is-the-federal-reserve-keeping-its-blockchain-plan-close-to-the-chest/\n\nI feel the need to say:\nFuck You Federal Reserve. We will not back down. You may control the worlds economy through your lousy\nfinancial institution, but blockchain, bitcoin and cryptocurrency has come to stay and give back the people\ntheir true democracy.\n\nRyan Zagone, the director of regulatory relations at RIPPLE (from my opinion, a crappy CENTRALIZED cyptocurrency that will do as they are told to do, same as any currency(USD, Euro) now a days) has stated that \"There are real inefficiencies with cross-border payments and there are – as the Fed has pointed out – room to improve domestic systems\" and by that they mean they will lose they monopoly over their money reign. All he says is that there are inefficiencies, but which ones? Why does he not clarify? Why does he not give examples? For whoever is reading and didn't know, the U.S. DOLLAR is NOT owned by the government, rather by the FEDERAL RESERVE which is a PRIVATE financial institution that controls capitalism all over the world. \n\nAlso, Ripple is a member of the Federal Reserve’s Faster Payments Task Force. This means that the blockchain Ripple has created can easily be manipulated (completely killing  community consensus and democratic freedom that bitcoin has imposed) blockchain that they can control based on their interests. \n\nThis is not a conspiracy but rather an analysis I have come to understand after years of research that is still ongoing based on financial and economical research. Whether you believe it or not, it's what's happening and has been in the last century. Blockchain has come to stay and revolutionize the way we exchange goods, services and information through transparent, trustworthy, decentralized and completely legitimate system. Before commenting, please do research yourself and read the article mentioned above. \n\nWe are powerful. We are united. We are not anonymous and our voices WILL be heard.\n\nAnother article I have written why we should be against cryptocurrency regulation.\n\nWHY WE SHOULD FIGHT AGAINST BITCOIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY REGULATION\nhttps://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kcinholas/why-we-should-fight-against-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrency-regulation#@pitterpatter/re-kcinholas-why-we-should-fight-against-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrency-regulation-20161207t195649747z",

I do agree that it needs to be easily accessible and that will never happen due to security concerns of people that don't have basic knowledge of technology. But this can be achieved through a classroom. However, that can be achieved through a bitcoin \"bank\" BUT the best feature is that no one would control this bank, it can be achieved through consensus just like BTC. It needs to be politics resistant. There are other ways of knowing about tax evasion (yet it still occurs). The main reason I'm against regulation is because right now, banks are the biggest monopoly of currencies. The federal reserve is the one who calls the shots and that's wrong, the whole world is practically controlled by them.\n\nWhen you mention stability, the scarcity of a cryptocoin will take care of that. When it reaches it's maximum number of available coins, supply and demand will bring it to a stable value. Right now, the U.S. is in a trillion dollar debt because it can't back up how many dollars exist in gold because too much of it was printed.",

Some form of regulation will end up existing. There is a lot you can do with Crypto cyrrency, but you cant pay your mortgage with it , and we are not yet at the point where anybody can walk into a store and make purchases with it.  My thoughts on the subject are not unique. Andreas Antonopoulos has correctly opined Bitcoin needs a fusion of elements to be accepted globally.  First it needs to be easily accessible and useable by anyone. Second it needs to become so common as to be accepted anywhere.  Third a currency needs stability. No one wants to use a currency that does not have a consistent valuation. Imagine taking a dollar this morning and buying a loaf of bread. Then going to the store at noon to buy another loaf of bread, and discovering that the same dollar may buy 5 loaves of bread, or in the worst case scenario it will not buy any bread at all. some form of regulatuon or governance the former will never occur.",

      "body": "Regulating bitcoin and cryptocurrencies seems like a great idea to make it an official recognized currency right? Wrong. Regulations empower who, the people or the government? That's right, if virtual currencies gets regulated and controlled by financial institutions, it’ll just become another common currency in the eyes of the law. Regulating its use, we risk losing its true value: decentralization. By having laws that control cryptocurrency, it becomes a centralized authority and will crush cryptocurrencies primary goal: to reach a democratic and transparent form to exchange goods and services without third parties. I believe in the beginning, there will be doubts about value but over time, and I do believe in a very short period of time, demand and scarcity will level out its value among the people that exchange goods and services. The creator of Bitcoin and the Blockchain, Satoshi Nakamoto have shown us that we are capable of creating decentralized systems not only in currencies, but in softwares as well. For example, with blockchain, we can create a transparent, untamperable and credible voting system in which fraud would be impossible. \n\nIf we allow the government to control this open source system, we lose all of its values. Technologically speaking, they can't control the P2P system unless they shutdown the internet, which they obviously won't because that would mean shutting down global/local economy. Financial institutions have taken an interest in blockchain but that still won't empower the people as they would have private blockchain that only they control, meaning they are the only ones able to make the rules and control what information can go through. We are all aware of banks control of the economy and not to mention the Federal Reserve which is a private financial institution controlling the worlds supply of money. This may seem like a good thing but they have governmental influence more than you think. This financial innovation can be compared to when the printing press was invented. Powerful people wanted to keep people ignorant at bay because they wanted to maintain control of the world so there were many laws passed to prevent it from spreading. They knew that if people learned to read, write and transmit knowledge, they would lose their reign. Netflix, Airbnb and Uber are all innovative technologies that we can all clearly see are MUCH better services than tvs, hotels and taxis. As you can notice, there are laws being passed all over the world to try to stop these technologies from advancing into the economy because it threatens certain people that have power over them. \n\nThe next to suffer are the bank tycoons. They are the most powerful entities in the world because they control money and we all know that's what makes the world go around. Banks and financial institutions have a tremendous amount of power, more than politicians if we think deep enough. What do you think would happen if a powerful bank that moves around even 5% of the economy through transaction processing and credit providing? The economy would collapse, stores would close, unemployment rate would sky rocket. \n\nBut what if you could be your own bank? What if we controlled the economy and society came together and we didn't need a central leader but rather a consensus that can make decisions thinking as a whole instead of only the benefits of the few? That would be a tremendous change in society and would give the people more power because lets face it, a president or a small group of senates cannot represent hundred millions of people. We all have different opinions and we must learn to respect and accept each other to create a true democratic form of living. If cryptocurrencies get regulated, all of these important societal aspects are in jeopardy. The elite force do not govern for the people, they govern for they're own economic interests. They want us to continue being sheep's so they can do as they please. Lets stand up for whats ours, the world. We are powerful. We are united. We are not anonymous and our voices WILL be heard.",
