      "body": "A quick how-to guide on exchanging Bitcoin for fiat currency and vice versa\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRY5SvCayppKLNvdaJuVxnTMyi9CGehPZRdGeKum1TFXW/image.png)\n\nDigital asset exchange Huobi Global has launched Huobi Lite, where you can exchange Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly for an array of fiat currencies. You can also use fiat currency to buy cryptocurrency instantly. Huobi Lite is similar to Huobi OTC, the over-the-counter trading desk, where Huobi is an independent third party facilitator. Huobi states its Lite version is simple to use and it can provide users with the best prices if they buy tokens with fiat currency.\n\nThe amount of cryptocurrency you have in your trading account on Huobi Global is automatically visible and tradeable in Huobi Lite. This only applies to currencies that are available on Huobi Lite, other balances are not shown on Huobi Lite. \n\nAs of now, Huobi Lite supports the following currencies:\nFiat: US Dollar (USD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Vietnamese Dong (VND) and Chinese Yuan (CNY).\n\nCryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH, Tether (USDT), Huobi Token (HT), EOS (EOS), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), HUSD (HUSD).\n\nAt Huobi Lite there are no trading fees.\n\nHuobi Lite has set minimum and maximum amounts of currency to purchase. You can find the amounts in the graph below:\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWEW1viHK59q4mnx4nydeiUbgmauQFibNGXWYLZMbjZ5T/image.png)\n\nHow to buy and sell crypto on Huobi Lite?\nLogin is really simple, just log in to your Huobi Global account through the mobile app. You Can then switch from Huobi Global to Huobi Global Lite if you click on the Huobi icon on the top left. After you click on the icon, then click on ‘switch to Huobi Lite’ and you will arrive at the Lite desk. You can view a tutorial here on how to trade on Huobi Lite.\n\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaT2uMtSMejcU1JJY4mCnRK7k4MKFVZtTWMgqgHXyPrkb/image.png)\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYH2CVhgCRK8LA8f2VfJ6o9t9da7BZsJpH3zA5XkfhTfA/image.png)\n\nWhen you want to buy Bitcoin with Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) you click on Bitcoin and buy with MYR. After that, you enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to buy. Then click on the buy button if you agree with the price. You can pay through bank transfer or with another payment method (visible in your account settings). Transfer the total amount that is owed to the seller. Once the seller confirms he or she has received the payment the seller releases the coins to the buyer. The transaction is now complete.\n\nThe Huobi Lite App can be downloaded here, Android or IOS .\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPdYpjSFCJwRRGQex9HiBvxsQ2QdTh1PpJtKbccxv1BKq/image.png)\n\nHuobi Token price surge\nIf you followed the token price of Huobi Global’s exchange token Huobi Token (HT), you must have noticed its recent steep incline. The Huobi Token (HT) price reached a new yearly high of $5.48 per token on the 28th of February. At the present time, HT is trading around $4.01 per token. This price increase is in line with the accelerated interest in cryptocurrency trading as well as the increased token utility. Huobi Global started the year with a 65% monthly growth in trading volume, compared to the last month of 2019. Huobi also intends to integrate HT at third-party partners, like credit card issuers, digital bank cards, and blue-chip technology companies.\n\nHuobi Global is constantly expanding the scope of Huobi Token’s applicability and, price-wise, it looks like it’s paying off. As a top 4 global digital asset exchange in terms of liquidity, according to Coinmarketcap.com, Huobi Global launched the testnet of its own regulator-friendly blockchain, called Huobi Chain. HT will play an essential role in the Huobi Chain ecosystem.\n\nHuobi Tokens (HT) are listed on various exchanges, like its parent company Huobi Global as well as Binance JEX, BitMax, Gate.io, BKEX and Bibox.\n\n![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWE4XFub4VsiqL2xFr5NE4skwzrHiudVTNZSN5NArLJXd/image.png)\n\nConcluding remarks\nWhen buying or selling Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in my home country (The Netherlands) I am often dependent on cryptocurrency brokers. In my opinion, there are too many things that can go wrong when buying or selling crypto through Bitcoin OTC channels. Trust is one of the biggest issues. There are many scammers in the cryptocurrency industry.\n\nThe two main benefits of buying and selling at Huobi Lite are the fact that Huobi is a third party independent facilitator which makes the trades fairly safe, and the fact that the transactions are free from trading fees. This is only a benefit if the buying and selling prices are competitive.\n\nMy main disadvantage is the absence of the EURO as a fiat currency for me, but maybe they will add it in the future.\nIf you do not have a trading account and wish to register at Huobi Global you can start by registering for an account through the link below:\nSign Up | Huobi Global\nSign up Huobi Pro\nwww.hbg.com\n\nDisclaimer: I would like to state that I am being incentivized by Huobi for writing this article.

      "body": "![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfYSncbhU4M4htEaRybpAbk8aRegesK9q8H6Q2UQbJ1R1/image.png)\n\nIn 2018, the initial coin offering (ICO) as we knew it in 2017 was pronounced dead several times. While the ICO gold rush definitely helped increase the cryptocurrency market capitalization; the project valuations, hype, pump and dumps, scam projects and ICO project’s/company’s un-accountability attributed to the industry’s damaged reputation.\n\nHaving invested in a great deal of ICOs, I would like to see a shift in funding method as the traditional utility token-based ICO is not beneficial to individual investors anymore. Especially in this continuing bear market, the risk of investing in an ICO is almost never worth it for individual investors, who are usually served last when it comes to buying tokens.\n\nBinance launchpad\n\nLast week, something slightly unexpecting happened. People got excited about an ICO again. The marketing efforts of Justin Sun, founder and CEO of the TRON Foundation and Changpeng Zhou, the co-founder and CEO of digital asset exchange Binance, enabled a surge in users trying to purchase BitTorrent tokens (BTT) on Binance re-introduced token sale launchpad. BitTorrent was the token sale that launched on Binance after TRON, Bread and Gifto all successfully conducted their public sale on the digital asset exchange dedicated token sale launchpad. According to Binance, the launchpad is an exclusive token launch platform, and they are right. It is exclusive as we could see with their most recent BitTorrent (BTT) token sale. Only 962 were able to get in because the platform faced continuous errors and defaults during the 15-minute-long flash token sale. The token sale could have sold out in seconds, had it functioned properly. BTT launched on Binance just two days after the token sale, establishing a 4x ROI for investors selling on the first day after the launch on the exchange.\n\nWhile the re-launch of the Binance launchpad was successful for the digital asset exchange, in my opinion, this is not a good way to continue for the majority of Binance users. The launchpad will pretty much only make Binance and the ICO project richer while individual investors, that hold on to the token for too long or buy the top are most likely being dumped on sooner, rather than later.\n\nOne of the things I would like to see them change is making a shift to a more fair distribution scheme. For instance, set a maximum cap per participant. By the amount of KYC applicants, they might be able to give a rough estimate of token sale investors. There were a lot of disappointed people after the BTT token sale. The first-click, first-serve format leaves too much to just luck of clicking at the right time, so they might want to change that to give more people a chance of actually buying tokens on the launchpad.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV7xYSSNmy46Na69PoRnRa5FhxrMdETUBpcKfiGNw4w8d/image.png)\n\nOn February 1st, Binance announced the Public Sale of Fetch.AI tokens will be launched on its launchpad on February 25. Interested investors that want to participate in the sale need to apply KYC first. As usual, some countries are excluded from the sale.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS6rWeqHjCF4F8DAURpmCF1LY8nBm9i2K7TJvn2ddxeup/image.png)\n\nFetch.AI\n\nFetch (FET) proposes an open-source distributed ledger technology framework that is comprised of three architectural layers. Layer one is reserved for the digital entities called Autonomous Economic Agents (AEA). These agents are third-party implementations. Agents live in the second layer’s Open Economic Framework (OEF). To support the digital world, Fetch introduces a scalable smart ledger, in layer three, that provides collective superpowers to support agents’ individual power. Layer two and three form a network node. All three layers support Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality.\n\nFetch’s distributed ledger project is initially open-source and permissionless, but it can be permissioned if needed. For instance, delicate healthcare or IoT data is best suited to be processed on a permissioned blockchain.\n\nTwo of Fetch’s proprietary features are its useful proof of stake (uPoS) consensus system and a high-performance machine learning oriented virtual machine.\n\nFetch is working on solutions for the transport sector, the supply chain industry and the energy market.\n\nFetch.ai is a project of venture capital firm Outlier Ventures, that is managed by CEO Jamie Burke, that is also one of the project's advisors. In March of 2018, Outlier Ventures announced its newest venture, Fetch AI. At the time it had been in stealth mode for 14 months. The core team has been working on the project for two years now.\n\nPartnerships\n\n- Fetch is a founding partner of the Blockchain for Europe association. Other members are Ripple, NEM and the Cardano Foundation. The goal of the partnership is to foster the understanding of upcoming regulations in the DLT and blockchain industry in Europe.\n\n- UK-based, online sharing platform for scientists, Clustermarket, engaged in a transformational scientific equipment venture with Fetch. Clustermarket will be one of the first platforms to deploy autonomous economic agents and thus demonstrate a primary use of the network, maximizing the value of the asset. According to CrunchBase, Clustermarket has raised 250,000 GBP in two previous funding rounds. The company is comprised of four employees.\n\n- Other partners include: Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative, MOBI, Warwick Business School (WBS), TokenMarket and ULedger.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTm1ujBNa1S1cLSB1BhysEU2dtLBqzd8ihSZVkwUKoUr5/image.png)\n\nTokenomics\n\nAccording to the token overview paper on the website, a total of 1,152,997,575, ERC-20 based FET tokens will be minted. The pubic sale was initially planned for Q3/Q4 2018. Only 20% of the tokens will be available for the private and public token sale. At this moment, it is unsure if all the Public sale tokens will be offered at Binance’s launchpad.\n\nThe amount of money that is being raised in the initial fundraising round is $30 million, for the previously mentioned 20% of total tokens, which means a fully diluted market cap of $150 million, which in this market seems a bit outrageous to me, for a utility token offering.\n\nAnother thing worth mentioning is that the team consists of 33 people, according to the fetch.ai website (38 according to LinkedIn), of which they state three co-founders. A total of 20% of the tokens is allocated to the founders. They have a vesting scheme that will last for 3 years with an evenly unlocked token amount each year, starting after the first year. Five advisors are listed on the website. Advisors are allocated 10% of the total token supply, following the same vesting period of three years.\n\nI suspect with a team of 33 people the monthly burn rate will be very high. The Binance labs report showed Fetch liquidated some ETH SAFT funds into GBP, at a rate that was much lower than the amount raised converted into GBP at the time of conducting the private sale.\n\nIf they manage to raise their intended hardcap they could go on for a few years, but I am curious to know how they intend to survive in the long run. What is their business strategy? How will they ensure continuity?\n\nRoadmap\n\nThe initial roadmap estimated the mainnet launch in the summer of 2019. In the updated version the mainnet launch has been set back to the end of 2019.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbwZR2apNGdK3w7jvXdPLq4bYuFQQp8mrLfLASnjTGHN4/image.png)\nOld roadmap Fetch AI\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUcCjJMW9R7WB8VdeoBb5Kic8icQp3fazVufWvVQebDEs/image.png)\nUpdated most accurate roadmap\n\nFetch.ai legal disclaimer\n\nThe legal disclaimer posted on the website states very clearly that by purchasing Fetch Tokens you will get absolutely no rights of any sorts. That’s important to know because a case of bad management or poor business decisions will not give you any recall or complain options.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPjY16HNy2e3DQrvXC4xPzhg6L3m6ksmM4XwyPunf8xxT/image.png)\n\nThey basically tell you to do your own research, before investing, they are not implying you should buy their tokens, investors should take into account that the token might depreciate in price, and they will not be liable before, during and after you buy FET tokens.\n\nSmart contract\n\nIn the past, there were some allegations against the fact that Fetch did not have a smart contract while conducting their ICO private sale. Cryptocurrency advocate Filip Poutintsev wrote about it in two Medium articles. Fetch has since come up with a smart contract that has been audited and deemed safe by smart contract auditor Hosho.\n\nSmart contract audit by Hosho:\n https://token.fetch.ai/publications/hosho_smart_contract_audit_report.pdf\n\nICO pools for Fetch AI\n\nFetch started their private sale in April of 2018. During a time that the investor's interest in ICOs was quickly decreasing. A lot of ICO pools offered Fetch on their platform. Many pools did not succeed in raising the allocated amount in ETH, due to bearish market conditions and a lack of interest in investing in an ICO.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeCH7WL6M1UeUhSDqqvPtp9S1pwLJ7ekHmPH9cpwHCEgJ/image.png)\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd6jPUyAW2NxEA8c82QEm1du9j57ivWegu28msy1xS2by/image.png)\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaNr4Buiofv4AcZrgtbbL9t8hB5mRHMEjPJP2t7Qud7TU/image.png)\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVRGZvXAiE9XFKxW9LB3CRdLt8LYUgvw1tUs88E7vsuj7/image.png)\nParticipation capital managed to raise 1,000 ETH in exchange for FET, at a 33% and 25% bonus.\n\nAll pooled funds have a lockup period, which means that private sale pool participants will not be able to sell their tokens on the exchange if FET tokens are launched on Binance or another exchange soon after the launchpad token sale (keep the initial supply low, right).\n\nConcluding remarks\n\nWhen BitTorrent initiated their ICO on the Binance launchpad, for a second (or 15 minutes) following the process took me back to those exciting times in 2017 when ICO investing was a highly competitive industry, that was often based on good preparation and a large dash of luck. However, I don’t think that ICO investing will ever become a big thing again, and I hope it won’t because it will not bring value to the industry, if anything it has a pretty destructive nature, because of the lack of accountability.\n\nPros:\n\n- They have a large team of industry professionals and are backed by a well-connected VC-firm\n\n- Launch on Binance launchpad, which attracts the majority of individual token sale investors\n\n- They allow the smaller investors to be able to invest in their project, not only available for institutional investors\n\n- Higher probability of listing on Binance, which will benefit the token liquidity, if Binance continuous to be a top volume exchange\n\nCons:\n\n- Fetch proposes a very high valuation ($ 150 million) on a fully diluted basis\n\n- They are not liable in any way shape or form after purchasing Fetch Tokens, according to the legal disclaimer\n\n- Very low initial supply, great for price manipulation, thus high risk\n\nPersonally I will not be investing in this ICO. The traditional ICO conducted in this way has no long-term viability in my opinion. For small time individual investors, the risks are too high, under these bearish market conditions. I do however think this ICO can perform well after it is listed on Binance during the first few days. My guess is that after a few days the hype will fade away and the token price will be decreasing at a rapid pace. The mainnet is set to launch in Q4 of 2019, so there is not much, besides new exchange listings and the announcement of interesting partnerships to hold up the price.\n\nI think this project is in line with some other projects that are competing for a slice of the cryptocurrency market pie, but I have yet to discover something that sets it apart from the other projects. The project is still in its test-phase and in this phase, the uPoS consensus method has not been tested yet on a large scale. I am curious to know why Binance decided to launch Fetch on their launch pad. Maybe the low initial supply, as Binance’s CEO stated he liked in a recent Tweet.\n\nFinal remarks\n\nThe overall conclusion as to why I will not be investing in this ICO:\n — This ICO has been in execution phase for almost a year, first private sale, soon to be public sale. Private sale investors have a lockup and a bonus of 33% or 25%.\n — The private sale didn’t attract many investors, the team is about six months behind on their initial roadmap, mainnet is planned for EOY. In the meantime other than exchange listings and partnerships probably not much news.\n — The project might run out of funds soon if the token becomes illiquid or doesn’t raise additional funds, as 85% of private sale SAFT funds have already been converted into fiat currency (approximately $3.5 million). A large staff that needs to be paid, estimated burn rate between $200k and $500k a month. \n — Only 20% of the total tokens will be offered in the token sale, 11.62% in the private sale (locked), which leaves 8.38% for the public sale. Fully diluted, the market cap is too high for an ICO that has no liability to its investors.\n\nWhat are your thoughts on Fetch.ai? Do you think it will perform well?

      "body": "Disrupting the gaming industry one decentralized game at a time\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbzyXdSnhn7MLD8HfVAdAjLgWMw27MvLc8VLa7KrqCPoe/image.png)\n\nIt is almost difficult to think back and remember prosperous crypto-times where green-candles were a daily occurrence and blockchain projects surged in price to new all-time-highs on a regular basis. It all came to a halt at the beginning of 2018 when bears appeared and ate a lot of people’s crypto profits.\n\nOne of the main reasons, besides the obvious one of over-valuation, was the inability to scale. For a gaming dApp to become fully functional on the blockchain, a network has to be able to process all the transactions in a timely manner. At the time (the end of 2017/ beginning 2018), CryptoKitties was becoming immensely popular and over flushed the Ethereum blockchain with transactions. The network got congested and the only way to get your transaction through was setting a high gas transaction fee.\n\nRunescape\n\nMy personal journey into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies started near the end of 2016 when I was looking for an alternative way to invest some of our life savings. I discovered Bitcoin, researched it and got more-and-more excited about it every day.\n\nAround the same time, I found out I still possessed the login data from my Runescape account, a game I had last played 15 years ago and apparently is still popular to this day. In my dashboard, there they were: two party hats, some Santa hats, a Christmas cracker, and a few Easter eggs, all special items that were dropped in-game on special occasions, some 20 years ago. What caught my eye was founding out that these rare virtual items were being sold in real-life for real money. At the time the party hats represented a value of around $ 1,600 per piece.\n\nBecause I wasn’t an avid player anymore, I decided to look for a buyer and sell all my in-game assets. A lot of time went into examining how to transact in a safe way for both parties. Turned out the majority of the buyers were scammers. I finally gave up, after I encountered countless scamming attempts.\n\nTo this day I still think about that entire trading process. I can’t believe how many times someone tried to scam me before I finally gave up. The entire process should have been a lot easier and safer. Luckily solutions are in the making with blockchain-based games.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmThDL1n4Pco6NJpm3Ht3iFy13o7jFFKxqDnZiXTQj7GRZ/image.png)\n\nPlague Hunters\n\nOn the 20th of November, Sony announced it has approved blockchain-based video game, Plague Hunters for their flagship video console, PlayStation 4. According to the Japanese electronics giant, Plague Hunters will be released to the market in Q1 of 2019. It is the first blockchain-based game that has come through Sony’s rigid approval process.\n\nPlague Hunters is the successor of Plague Road and is developed by Arcade Distillery, from New York. The game is free to play with the added feature of purchasing in-game items. For the transference of in-game items, the game will have a decentralized marketplace, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. In-game assets will be non-fungible tokens. Non-fungible tokens, that have unique features and are one-of-a-kind, can have the ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token standard. Ethereum’s basic ERC-20 standard tokens are fungible, which means all the tokens are the same.\n\nBlockchain-based projects focused on the gaming industry\n\nGaming developers are slowly adapting to implementing cryptocurrency. A few examples of blockchain-based projects that offer blockchain services for gaming companies are Loom Network, Enjin Coin and BORA. Loom and Enjin both initiated their project last year by conducting an ICO, while newcomer BORA has recently concluded its presale. BORA will skip a public sale to list their native BORA token straight onto an exchange.\n\nThe common ground on two (Loom and BORA) out of the three projects is that they plan to solve the scalability issue by implementing a layer-2 scaling solution. Layer-2 solutions like sidechains, state-channels, TrueBit, and plasma are built on top of the blockchain, unlike layer-1 technology that is built into the blockchain layer itself. Sharding is an example of a layer-1 solution and it is expected to be completed by 2020. Suffice to say, looking for a solid scaling solution that is ready to be implemented earlier in the game would be preferable.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVMfnXk7qj8rUsWr6btazt9T8QF3QciCKyJYuQ2Qcy17k/image.png)\n\nEnjin\nEnjin is an all-in-one website content management system (CMS) for the gaming community. Enjin is predominantly used by members in the gaming community. The project will offer a framework of open-source software development kits (SDK), game plugins, wallets, virtual item management apps and a payment gateway that supports the project’s native ENJ token. Enjin’s main goal is to become the go-to currency for gamers in terms of providing portability between different gaming platforms and enabling the transferability of virtual goods and digital assets.\n\nWebsite: https://enjincoin.io/\n\nTelegram: https://t.me/enjin_coin\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/enjin\n\nMedium: https://blog.enjincoin.io\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfYd7Cwd22DpDFsGrFqjLpQdn4hQ2JjS9m12HdzaEdLhm/image.png)\n\nLoom Network\nLoom positions itself as a next-generation blockchain application built on the Ethereum blockchain. Loom aims to implement DPoS sidechains that will allow for commercial size (blockchain) games and other dApps to be deployed on the network. Loom uses sidechain technology to scale and achieve high-throughput and low latency.\n\nA nice feature that Loom offers is the free programming tutorial, called CryptoZombies. Anyone can learn to code Ethereum dApps and after completing the course, you are set to have developed your first game, coded in Solidity.\n\nWebsite: https://loomx.io/\n\nTelegram: https://t.me/loomnetwork\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/loomnetwork\n\nMedium: https://medium.com/loom-network\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQqcjUBiuH3W4F1MhLzrrptbLqVkGhSkh3zPpvzuxuGhH/image.png)\n\nBORA\nBlockchain-based BORA aims to create a decentralized entertainment platform focused on distributing digital contents while incentivizing community members. BORA uses sidechain technology to allow for highly-scalable dApps to be suitable for the platform. BORA has a team of 12 developers based in Korea that is working on releasing the mainnet version of BORA Island in Q1 of 2019. For now, we will have to suffice with the BORA testnet that was released in October 2018.\n\nDuring their recent meetup in South-Korea’s capital of Seoul, BORA announced that they have already lined up at least five gaming developers that will implement BORA into their game(s). BORA tokens can be used to purchase in-game items or BORA Shell can be rewarded for playing games or fulfilling small tasks.\n\nBORA intends to launch their Ethereum based ERC20 tokens before the end of 2018. We can expect an announcement any day now.\n\nWebsite: https://www.boraecosystem.com/\n\nTelegram: https://t.me/boraofficial\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bora_ecosystem\n\nMedium: https://medium.com/@BORA_Ecosystem\n\nConcluding remarks\n\nAs I see it, the launch of a successful, globally adopted blockchain-based game can be one of the catalysts to take crypto mainstream. In the past few years, games like Fortnite, Red Dead Redemption 2 and League of Legends have managed to attract tens of millions of users worldwide. In the U.S. alone the entire video game market was worth around 18.4 billion dollars in 2017.\n\nThe year-long cryptocurrency bear trend hasn’t been very good for mass-adoption. Only time will tell if and when the market is strong enough to break out of the downtrend. I think this is an excellent time for everyone (that is in it for the technology) to collaborate and contribute to creating a stronger more mature cryptocurrency market.\n\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended as investment advice. You should always do your own research. All the information provided in this article is based on my own personal opinion. Besides a small amount of Ethereum, I do not own any of the other tokens mentioned in the article at the time of writing.

If you do decide you want to invest, only invest money you can afford to lose.\n\nI hope you have enjoyed this article, and please comment in the allocated section below if you have any further questions.\n\nThank you!\n\nLindaCrypto",

BORA's parent company WAY2BIT invited 100 industry professionals and partners to inform the progress in building BORA Island, the new partnerships and the overall business direction of the project is headed.\n\nAfter the introduction by WAY2BIT CEO Song Gyehan where he informed the audience about the latest updates on the BORA project, business direction and newest partners. WAY2BIT CMO Lee Seung-Hee said the team intends to list BORA tokens in the coming month.\n\nIn Q4 of 2018 BORA Lagoon was launched as the testnet version. BORA Island provides a wallet service for users to safely store their tokens. BORA Explorer allows you to check transactions on the BORA blockchain. BORA Atoll is created as a business guide for professional partners. BORA is a dual According to BORA's CTO Wei Tui Bai Li testnet results have shown 2,200 transactions per second (TPS), while he is working on an additional solution that will generate at least 4,000 transactions to be within a second.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYugd78Ma5SzAfwdCZeULGDieATuC23rfiP8qTeXAFrZg/image.png)\n\nVarious Game developers and gaming companies have already announced their support of the BORA project.\n\n- Skeleton King The flagship project of EMON Games has integrated BORA tokens to upgrade or upgrade the game or upgrade characters. The team will also add a reward system, where BORA tokens can be earned by participating in-game competitions.\n\n- Casino Game developer NEON, that launched the game 'World Black Jack Tournament (WBT)' will be an interoperation with BORA token.\n\n- SUPERTREE has transformed BORA Swell into game-money within their game CRYPTO DOZER.\n\nBesides these three game developing companies, we have introduced business partners like Blockwater Capital, ENP Games, Unit 5, Assum Ventures, HURAY POSITIVE, MODU TOWN, WISEPEER, and INFOSEED.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW7jFmwop4mGgrzXaa8YeG1iErA8EGFkMDv4d5GqENAob/image.png)\n\nConcluding remarks\n\nBlockchain-based projects with a utility token structure and reward system can integrate into different industries. The gaming, music, content and entertainment industries are highly suitable for blockchain solutions.\n\nThe intention is that the BORA is built on a reliable ecosystem for users who value the digital assets.\n\nWe can see a lot of action, development and implementations are taking place at the moment where a lot of Asian companies are adopting the BORA ecosystem. This is a great sign for a relatively new project. Another thing I have noticed is the amount and quality of the institutional investors and partnerships that the team is attracting.\n\nI am curious to see the BORA token list on an exchange and see if the individual investors are interested in buying the token.\n\nOfficial channels\n\nFor more information about BORA:\n\nWebsite: https://www.boraecosystem.com/\n\nTelegram: https://t.me/boraofficial\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bora_ecosystem\n\nMedium: https://medium.com/@BORA_Ecosystem\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoraEcosystem/\n\nDisclaimer : This article is not intended as investment advice.

      "body": "![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWL5db8JM23tHADqvekJZ7Lv7ESrSKWpimvCXza4BpsdL/image.png)\n\nWith the ultimate goal of creating a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Huobi strongly believes in including its community in their decision making process, especially if a topic concerns Huobi token holders. Huobi is not only community-oriented but they are also customer-focused. By implementing an emergency user protection fund in which they already deposited 230,922,398 HT (roughly 260,000,000 USD) they are prepared for a potential security leak or vulnerability.\n\nBesides the User Protection Fund which was funded through the quarterly buyback of HT on the open market, Huobi also set up a Security Reserve Fund that contains 20,000 BTC (84,000,000 USD at the time of writing) at all times to be used in case of emergency.\n\nHuobi first announced it will be buying back HT by using 20% of the quarterly revenue made on transaction fees and other income streams. The first and second quarter buybacks hack already occurred and funds have been deposited in the User Protection Fund. For the third quarter buyback Huobi decided to airdrop the funds to Huobi Token Holders. By taking a snapshot from the HT token address, funds would be deposited into HT user accounts on three different occasions (the 15th of October, 15th of November and 15th of December). The airdrop will only occur to users that hold their HT balance on Huobi Global.\n\nHuobi received some signals that not all community members were all for the airdrop to occur. This made the Huobi team decide to hold a community vote in which HT holders can vote for or against future airdrops of Huobi Token buyback funds.\n\nPro’s\n\nThe main pro for airdropping HT is the fact that token holders immediately gain extra token, thus extra value from holding HT. This might give an incentive for HT holders to hold on to their base tokens for future airdrops. The pro on burning HT is the decreased supply of HT. Decreasing the supply, usually results in an increase in price for the remainder of tokens.\n\nCon’s\n\nA downside to airdropping tokens is that HT holders might have the intention to sell. If a lot of people feel the same way, the excessive selling of airdropped tokens can cause a price drop. The main downside to burning tokens is the fact that those tokens are forever gone and cannot be put back into circulation. Another downside is that a decreased supply is not a guarantee that the token price will go up.\n\nPersonal opinion\n\nAs I see it, the User Protection Fund and the additional Security Reserve Funds are sufficiently funded to be addressed in times of emergency. I believe the number of HT that will be bought back each quarter should be burnt, because it reduces the supply, making the token more valuable in the long term. To airdrop the token would only make it easier for people to dump the tokens immediately after they received them. Often times when people get tokens airdropped they are dumped on the market and the price will take a hit.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV37oySHUEYVXcHFSeb1yo1QTLZA9tYTFnoX5m8zqqBt5/image.png)\n\nVoting process\n\nYou can place your vote between Monday the 3rd of December until Thursday December the 6th . Votes are open to all Huobi Token holders.\n\nThe current repurchase Program: \nHuobi buys back 20% of its quarterly revenue. The proceeds will be airdropped to existing HT holders.\n\nProposed repurchase Program:\nThe HT that will be bought back is burned or redistributed instead of airdropped to HT holders. This will decrease the circulating supply of HT.\n\nHow do I Vote:\nHT has the ability to vote on behalf of the airdrop to continue or the tokens to be burnt. The final decision will be made depending on the program that earns more than 50% of the total votes. Voting is open to all HT holders (who hold at least 1HT). Use your vote now and let your voice be heard.\n\nThe snapshot of HT held will be taken on: 23:59:59 on December 2 (Singapore time)\nVoting Period: December 3, 2018 15:00 to December 6, 15:00 (Singapore time)\n\nVoting Rules:\n -Each HT you own entitles you to one vote\n -Each user can only cast their votes once\n -Results will be announced within five working days following the voting\n -Percentage of votes will be calculated relative to the total number of votes\n -Trading of HT and cryptocurrency assets will not be affected\n\nRead more about Huobi’s buyback program here.\n\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended as investment advice.

      "body": "![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmadM8zcYSCbvfuACdzrmQwuejtviT1UnLWUWHNvKPz1AE/image.png)\n\nBlockchain has been a real buzzword in recent years. The main reason being that blockchain-based digital currency Bitcoin surged in price from $1,000 to $20,000 dollars over the course of just a few months. As Blockchain thrives, we continue to see a growing interest from traditional companies researching the innovative technology.\n\nBack in March of this year, Deloitte conducted a survey in which they asked 1000 respondents from global companies, that have a yearly revenue of at least 500 million dollars, what their thoughts are on blockchain technology. The results showed that 74% of the respondents see a compelling business case for blockchain technology. As a recent article in Forbes suggested, over 50 big corporations are already exploring the implementation of blockchain technology into their business operations. Last week VISA’s CEO Al Kelly even admitted VISA would support cryptocurrency as a form of payment, should it develop into an established payment solution.\n\nCompanies that can benefit from blockchain technology are active in the peer-to-peer lending industry, fintech, the supply chain sector, formal verification industry, the advertisement industry and countless other industries that use database structures in their business model.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPtKX5gGyW1WsFjsxAXaGtRfNGtdUitY7ARVNuYhQuTRm/image.png)\n\nThe invention of blockchain technology\n\nOn the 31st of October this year, it was exactly 10 years after the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto published their whitepaper called Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. \n Bitcoin is an innovative digital payment system that uses blockchain technology to confirm and process its transactions. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that maintains a record of balances.\n\nThe blockchain that is being utilized by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has a somewhat mysterious creation stage.\n\nAs I see it a lot of industry professionals have helped create the blockchain technology that we know today. Credits go to Dr. David Chaum, Berkeley Alum and creator of Bitcoin’s predecessor eCash. Because of his extensive research, the groundwork for implementing private and public keys in blockchain technology have been laid down. HashCash creator, Adam Back, was mentioned in Satoshi’s whitepaper as the initiator of Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, which he proposed to use for Bitcoin as well. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), published a new cryptographic hash function in 2001 called SHA-256. Satoshi uses SHA-256 for his peer-to-peer electronic cash system. The Merkle tree structure that was invented by Ralph Merkle allows for secure and efficient content verification in large data structures. Merkle trees are used by Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies.\n\nAfter Bitcoin’s first generation blockchain, Ethereum added smart contracts to it, opening itself up to a whole new world of decentralized applications (dApps) to be deployed on the network. Cryptographer Nick Szabo is the original creator of smart contracts. Because of its additional features Ethereum is also referred to as a 2nd generation blockchain.\n\nWhile adding smart contracts to the blockchain was a groundbreaking move, which initiated an ICO gold rush in 2017, it also highlighted some of blockchain’s obstacles. Scalability, security and efficiency need to be adequate and in balance in order to move forward towards mainstream adoption. Currently 3rd generation blockchain platforms are in development. These blockchain solutions will become sufficient to resolve the current blockchain obstacles.\n\nBlockchain features that can benefit large corporation\n\nBusinesses can improve the efficiency of their data and transaction workflows by implementing blockchain technology. In some industries blockchain will prove to be more efficient than others.\n\nCorporations that want to implement blockchain technology can choose from three basic forms: private (permissioned), public (permissionless) or hybrid (private permissible) blockchains. Each type of blockchain will present its own opportunities as well as pose challenges for enterprise blockchain solutions.\n\nThe overall blockchain benefits outweigh the disadvantages at this time, but there is still room for improvement. Blockchain technology provides greater transparency, it enhances security, improves traceability, increases efficiency and transaction speed and it can be more cost efficient. As far as the challenges go, public blockchains aren’t scalable at the moment but various solutions are currently in the works, like: lightning network, sidechains, plasma and sharding.\n\nSmart contracts: adding a smart contract to a transaction can improve the efficiency of financial institutions. The ability to add terms and conditions in a smart contract to a mortgage agreement or insurance contract will be more efficient, tamper-free and will eliminate third party interference.\n\nSidechain technology: sidechains are separate blockchains that are attached to their mainchain using a two-way peg. Sidechains are aligned in parallel with the main blockchain. Sidechain technology first appeared in 2014 when Dr. Adam Back published a research paper called: Enabling Blockchain Innovations with Pegged Sidechains. Sidechains will allow for digital assets from one blockchain to be used in a separate blockchain (the sidechain) and if needed they can be moved back to the original blockchain. Companies that use different databases that sometimes need to communicate with each other are suitable for sidechain technology. Sidechains also allow for the effective and specific scaling of a specific chain without the need for large adjustments to the whole ecosystem; in addition to this, reliability is also increased as the negative congestion impact from other blockchains is eliminated.\n\nParallel processing: parallel processing will enable high-throughput together with the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm.\n\nAelf is one of the blockchain projects that offers a highly scalable and secure enterprise blockchain solution.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcQszYTR7fJVCvvPSG6Pwg5JwAaCkUa23BV5An6jVKNiw/image.png)\n\nAelf\n\nAs a blockchain project that aims to provide a scalable blockchain solution through their own blockchain is Aelf. As a 3rd generation blockchain frontrunner, Aelf is comprised of sidechain technology as well as parallel processing, making it extremely suitable for large corporations. This new blockchain model is both highly scalable and fully customizable through the use of global parallel processing and one use case per sidechain. Aelf provides an extra layer on their blockchain that enables sidechains to run parallel to the main blockchain. Projects can easily adopt the Aelf blockchain by using its SDK, which enables dApps to be deployed on the platform.\n\nAelf’s testnet was announced back in the middle of 2018, with the baseline benchmarks sitting at 14,968 transactions per second (tps).\n\nConcluding remarks\n\nLike research states, large corporations have already started adopting blockchain technology. For instance, take the supply-chain industry. Supermarkets like Walmart from the U.S and Albert Heijn from the Netherlands are already adopting to a permissioned blockchain solution to further develop their supply chain. In September Komgo, announced its launch of a global blockchain-based trade financing platform. Komgo is comprised of 15 of the world’s largest banking and commodity companies like Shell, ABN AMRO, ING and Citi Group. This article posted earlier in the year lists over 200 other banks and financial institutes that are looking to incorporate blockchain technology into their current processes\n\nAll these companies see the potential of blockchain technology. As I see it, the list of large organizations adopting blockchain into their business operations in the near future will continue to advance at an exponential rate.\n\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended as investment advice.

Huobi Group provides its users with reliable and secure digital asset trading and asset management services. They service millions of users worldwide and have surpassed 1.2 trillion dollars in accumulative turnover. Huobi offers two digital asset exchanges Huobi Global and Huobi NEXT. They also have country-specific exchanges, like fiat-to-crypto trading platform Huobi Australia, Huobi Korea and they have a strategic partnership with US-based asset exchange HBUS. Just recently they launched Huobi MENA, a digital asset exchange that is focused on servicing the underbanked/unbanked population of the Middle-East and North-Africa.\n\nAt the beginning of this year Huobi announced a global expansion plan which they have been deploying at an accelerated pace. Some of the most interesting features of the expansion plans include announcing the launch of their own exchange token, Huobi Token (HT), building their own blockchain (Huobi Chain) and creating a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).\n\nAPAC prestige investors seminar\n\nHuobi relocated their Singaporean headquarters to a new inspiring area. The prestigious Asia Center is the location of Huobi Global’s new HQ and focuses on being the central hub for quantitative, API and institution cryptocurrency trading in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The Asia Center is conveniently located in the Marina Bay district of Singapore which is the city’s business and financial hot spot. Huobi’s first ever exclusive prestige investors club seminar gave members a nice introduction at the company’s new HQ.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeVHnmSqqaQgz1tperfHsLGkhBoEuk7LVaJbKXxzGKPb6/image.png)\n\nMany industry professionals and Huobi representatives attended the seminar. Over 100 quantitative traders were also at the event. Industry experts like Justin Chow, Head of Business Development at Cumberland, John Lin, CEO and founder of Tilde and Damien Loh, CIO of Ensemble Capital shared valuable insights and observations into the cryptocurrency market. During the event topics like the effect of artificial intelligence in cryptocurrency trading, quantitative trading opportunities and tail risk within cryptocurrency markets were addressed. There was also an interesting panel discussion on the macro outlook of the cryptocurrency market in 2019. Thought provoking discussions about market regulation, alternative cryptocurrency investing strategies and the hype surrounding ICOs were addressed.\n\nEdward Chen, managing director of Huobi APAC stated ‘The cryptocurrency market is a fast-maturing one, as it occurs, more and more institutional investors will be seeking to participate in it’. Mr. Chen wants to attract more elite investors in the region as this will align closely with Huobi Global’s strategy.\n\nHuobi Prestige Investors Club\n\nDuring the investors club seminar, Huobi Global announced the launch of its exclusive, invite-only organization for quantitative, institutional and other elite level traders, called the prestige investors club.\n\nThe exclusive membership gives its elite members additional benefits that include dedicated account managers, high-quality engineering support for API trading and a selection of invitations to monthly roundtable discussions that focus on specific cryptocurrency topics.\n\nShould you be interested in becoming a member of the exclusive Prestige Investors Club you can send an email to [email protected] and ask for the specific terms and conditions.\n\nConcluding remarks\n\nThe past few days we have seen a lot of volatility entering the market. It was something we hadn’t seen in a while. Unfortunately the market did not move in favor of cryptocurrency investors. It could be that the market needs more time to find a bottom in order to be able to move forward.\n\nIn the meantime, professional organizations that focus on digital assets continue to work on achieving mainstream adoption. As a writer on the topic of blockchain and cryptocurrencies I am seeing a lot of positive news indicating that institutions are slowly adopting blockchain technology.\n\nWhat I like about Huobi is that they are continuing to expand. Every week they announce new products, exchanges or collaborations. The focus on informing and educating their customers is also a strong move from Huobi. Governmental cryptocurrency regulation is picking up steam globally. Scam ICO’s or non-compliant blockchain projects are being sued by legislators. These are all signs that the market is maturing, like Edward Chen, managing director of Huobi APAC previously mentioned. Huobi Group has been in business since 2013 and they went through a lot of crypto ups and downs. I see Huobi continuing to develop their business with a focus on their customers and I foresee a great future ahead.\n\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended as investment advice.

      "body": "The announcement came just a few weeks after they launched their testnet BORA Lagoon\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma7VmAgGoXMb1N1SQKpvPHdYoXqPD4U8Xs7pvt7EB3wny/image.png)\n\nCorporate-controlled centralized platforms dominate in the content creation and entertainment industry. As a result artists and creators are giving away control over their work. Decentralized applications and ecosystems fundamentally change that by giving back the power to the artists and creators. Using a decentralized system to publish content allows its creators to keep control of their creations. BORA is one of those blockchain based projects that offer a decentralized platform for the content and entertainment industry. Their platform is called BORA Island. They recently launched their testnet, BORA Lagoon.\n\nBORA aims to solve the pain points the industry is currently facing. The content creation and entertainment industry faces:\n \n 1. Reliability, authenticity, transparency, and security of information;\n\n2. Inability to guarantee the value of user data assets;\n\n3. Fraud and excessive costs of intermediary transaction processes.\n\nWith the help of blockchain technology the majority of these pain points can be solved. Blockchains are large data structures that are trustless, transparent, secure, cost-efficient and fraud-resistant.\n\nAs a proven blockchain solution, BORA used the Ethereum blockchain and network as their main chain. By implementing the Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithm, BORA offers side chains that run in parallel with the main Ethereum chain. This solution allows the BORA chain to scale and be suitable for commercial size decentralized applications. Their module structure enables decentralized applications to be added to the BORA ecosystem.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUSec6PL56s465ix87bxqmYzvgwuNWpnL1qhQCiLr8zwQ/image.png)\n\nBlockchain technological R&D institute\n\nThis week, BORA announced it has set up a blockchain research and development institute. The team appointed Cheon Kyoungwook as the institute's director. Mr. Kyoungwook who is an expert in the field of network security will lead the R&D team where they will do extensive in-depth research into Ethereum, EOS-based network uploading on a large scale, real-time conversions between digital assets and so on.\n\n![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQXbp6UFtAmpYyTMNfhbwRVLpQZocTQ3knHtDDm9R9KK4/image.png)\n\nBORA Lagoon\n\nBORA Island will launch in Q1 2019 according to the team’s roadmap. Their testnet was launched on schedule in Q4 2018. BORA Lagoon is available for testing. Testnet tokens can be requested which enables testing of deposit, withdrawal and transfer of BORA. BORA Token Manager is available to transfer Ethereum based ERC20 BORA tokens to BORA Swell, the internal platform token that can be obtained by performing tasks on the network or by playing platform-based games.\n\nThe BORA test-ground consists of the wallet to deposit, withdraw or transfer ERC20 BORA tokens. It already has 1 test-game called Tower Blocks, which you can play to receive internal BORA Swell tokens. BORA Token Manager can be instructed for converting BORA and BORA Swell tokens. The test-ground also informs users on the history of BORA platform transactions.\n\nBORA invites everyone to test the platform. Decentralized projects thrive on community engagement and BORA is currently building and expanding their project. Check out the test-ground, request some test tokens to interact on the platform and play the first test-game.\n\nI’m looking forward to seeing more additions to their test-ground, for now I will just keep playing Tower Blocks and try to approve on my high-score.\n\nOfficial channels\n\nFor more information about BORA:\n\nWebsite: https://www.boraecosystem.com/\n\nTelegram: https://t.me/boraofficial\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bora_ecosystem\n\nMedium: https://medium.com/@BORA_Ecosystem\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoraEcosystem/\n\nDisclaimer: This article is not intended as investment advice.
