      "body": "![](https://i.imgur.com/YIlXjXu.jpg)\n\n_This article was delivered to you by OpenLedger, a [blockchain development company](https://openledger.info/services/blockchain-development/)._\n\nEarlier on our blog we’ve shared [some great podcasts](https://openledger.info/insights/the-best-blockchain-podcasts-to-expand-your-knowledge/) to help you stay aware of the ever-changing and rapidly expanding blockchain ecosystem, but what about bloggers? \n\nThere are lots of blogs out there, but very few of them are real industry experts and creators. To help you get straight to the source and hear right from the industry insiders that do know what’s going on, we’ve compiled a list of the top blockchain bloggers we think you should follow. Make these blogs part of your everyday reading to stay up on industry trends and be ready to act before the crowd, not after.\n \n### [Antony Lewis](https://bitsonblocks.net/antony-lewis-my-story/) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/r8n6der.png) \n\nCreator of the popular online resource, ‘Bits on Blocks,’ Antony has been one of Asia’s top 100 Fintech influencers for two years in a row. Having worked first in traditional finance, he helped launch iBit (now Paxos) and dedicated his career to researching and developing blockchain.\n \nNot only does his blog, established in 2015, have current features and industry analysis, but it shares Antony’s opinions in a thoughtful and meaningful way. Instead of talking in buzzwords, he focuses on what these new technologies mean for everyday life. There are also a great many resources for learning the basis available if you’re new to the market.\n \n### [Robby Schwertner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robby-schwertner/detail/recent-activity/posts/) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/SgSyNpd.png)\n \nThis Austrian industry expert is a wealth of information, especially on his LinkedIn feed where he posts updates and industry news regularly. He also maintains his own [blog](https://cryptorobby.blog/) where you can read opinion pieces and interviews.\n\nAlso an active speaker on the topic, Robby is often travelling to conferences to give talks on the subject. He is an ICO advisor and moderator/organizer of workshops to develop new ideas and applications for blockchain technology. His excitement for new technology is contagious, showing through in what he writes and speaks.\n \n### [Vitalik Buterin](https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/EuvO6zV.png)\n \nTruly one of the giants in the industry, Vitalik is a co-founder of one of the industry-leading companies, Ethereum, and despite his professional involvement, still finds time to share ideas on the future of the market. \n\nWith many blockchain solutions built on the Ethereum platform, and with his advocacy for the future of ‘smart contracts,’ Buterin is a true innovator and pioneer. While he may not have as many posts, or post as regularly as other bloggers, his incredible experience and insight make this a must-read for anyone in the industry. \n\n### [Chris Skinner](https://thefinanser.com/category/blockchain/) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/4vpCad9.png)\n \nChris is not specifically a blockchain expert, but rather a finance and fintech industry leader. It’s clear that blockchain is set to disrupt and change the fintech landscape forever, so having an expert in that discipline to help unpack the changes is key. You can sort his posts by ones relating to blockchain to weed out the information you don’t need right now, but as the new technology becomes more pervasive in the finance world, the blockchain topic is taking over the content as well.\n \nWith multiple awards, speaking engagements, and industry consultancies, Chris’s voice is an important one. Start by filtering the blockchain articles (provided in the link above), but then read more about the industry at large. In particular, [Chris’ own informative books](https://chrisskinner.global/books/) that might interest you.\n\n### [Richard Gendal Brown](https://gendal.me/) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/b25JrXj.png)\n \nSince many bloggers are working on their own blockchain projects full time, they can’t post as frequently. Although occasionally, Brown publishes clear, concise and informative posts when he makes them. You can also follow his social media to get snippets of what he’s thinking about, but the blog posts are worth diving into and reading even from years past.\n \nA big proponent of interoperability, which many believe to be a key to the long-term success of blockchain technologies, many of his articles focus on that topic. For any business leader, understanding the implications and benefits of compatibility between blockchain solutions is key, making Brown’s perspective a valuable resource.\n \n### [Steptoe and Johnson](https://www.steptoeblockchainblog.com/) ###\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/UfKozNh.png)\n \nA blog that focuses on legal and regulatory matters, the Steptoe blockchain blog is rich with information of how governments and organizations are building a legal framework around blockchain and cryptocurrency. There’s a variety of authors here analyzing critical legal decisions worldwide.\n\nFollowing them, you will learn which blockchain firms are best at navigating global legal systems and regulations. That information can help you make a more informed investment or help you model for your own venture after a successful one. Increasingly, regulations will become a critical factor in designing and implementing a successful blockchain solution. \n \nWith the industry expanding in every direction, it’s hard to keep up. We hope you find that following these influential and informative bloggers helps you stay ahead of the game.\n\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

      "body": "![](https://i.imgur.com/lGbpjd7.jpg)\n\nICO has become known as a method of crowdfunding in which crypto tokens are sold in order to fund the development of a new tech product. Sounds legit, right? Well, the only problem is that due to a lack of regulation, it was fairly easy for anyone to offer an ICO, which often led to scams, parody coins, and ICOs based off of terrible ideas. \n\nThe market was flooded with ICOs in 2018, many of which quickly died leaving their investors wonder where their money went. This brought a new sense of skepticism among investors and ultimately caused a decline in new ICOs between May and December of 2018, as shown [here](https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.html?year=2018). So is the ICO dying or already dead? Will it make a comeback in 2019? Take a look at a few 2019 ICO predictions and decide for yourself.\n\n### 2019: The Year of the Quality Product ###\n\n2017 was the year of the multiple ICO scams, and the start of 2018 was the time of bad ideas. Now that 2019 is here, all those have finally been weeded out. \n\nInvestors are no longer fooled by a fancy whitepaper and illegitimate claims. Michael Lachar, Co-Founder of social spending app Rubiix and contributor to [Cryptovest](https://cryptovest.com/), states his [2019 ICO predictions](https://cryptovest.com/features/the-future-of-icos-looking-ahead-to-2019/) saying, “If you don’t have something that is already built and working, it’s really hard to make a case for yourself in today’s ICO market.” \n\nAs the markets are in shambles, investors no longer have the funds to be throwing them at the next big thing. ICOs in 2019 have to guarantee that they can offer returns. Meaning they need to be well-developed and already functioning. With that being said, the number of new ICOs in 2019 will pale in comparison to the amount in 2018, but the focus will be more on quality rather than quantity.\n\n### DAICO: The Responsible ICO ###\n\nAt the start of 2018, Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin introduced the concept of DAICO that is expected to be the new “[socially responsible ICO in 2019](https://medium.com/collabogate-research-group-in-tokyo/running-a-socially-responsible-ico-in-2019-2ecfe1644efa)” as stated by Calvin Amu, Founder of the news site Crypto Globe Daily. \n\nDAICO, a blend of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and ICO, is expected to be the new standard in 2019. It puts more power in the hands of investors by implementing a voting system, which determines how much of the funds invested in a product the developers have access to. \n\nIt also allows investors to pull their funds altogether. If investors believe their funds aren’t being properly utilized, they simply call a vote, and if the majority votes for their funds to be returned, they are. This places a higher sense of responsibility on developers to push themselves to create a product which pleases investors. With DAICOs, scams or just plain terrible ideas are no longer possible. DAICOs are a strong sign that developers believe in what they are producing, and it increases the level of trust with investors. These two factors mean there will most likely be a sharp rise in DAICOs in 2019.\n\n### An Increase in Global Regulation ###\n\nGiven that ICOs have run rampant for the past few years, it’s apparent that regulators such as the U.S. Securities and exchange commision (SEC), the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and Europe’s Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) are growing tired of dealing with reports of ICO-related scams. \n\nUAE [has announced plans](https://cointelegraph.com/news/united-arab-emirates-will-introduce-ico-regulation-in-first-half-of-2019-regulator-notes) to introduce new ICO regulations in the first half of 2019. The ESMA [began evaluating ICOs in 2018](https://www.ccn.com/eu-watchdog-will-evaluate-every-ico-for-potential-regulatory-push/) to enforce new regulations in 2019, and there is [new legislation in the works](https://www.cleveland.com/news/2018/12/us-rep-warren-davidson-announces-legislation-to-regulate-initial-coin-offerings-at-blockchain-solutions-conference.html) for the SEC to regulate ICOs much more effectively. Toward the end of 2018, the [SEC even set up an entire division](https://www.coindesk.com/the-sec-is-setting-up-a-new-office-to-talk-to-ico-startups) intended to hold new ICOs’ hands through the verification process. \n\nThe blame can be placed on ICOs that scammed their way through 2018, but now that 2019 has arrived, this will no longer be an option. Being oblivious is no longer a proper excuse for companies to explain why they lost investors’ money. There are companies dedicated to [developing proper ICOs](https://openledger.info/services/ico/), though, intended to guide startups through each stage of the crowdfunding process.\n\n### Private Sale ICOs: ICOs Targeting Veteran Investors ###\n\nOut of the $2 billion raised in 2018 ICOs, [84% of those funds came from private investors](https://www.spectrum.global/private-token-sales-industry-finds-a-new-normal/). This is largely due to the rise in the private sale, as well as pre-sale of ICOs, which seems to be a safer option from the regulatory standpoint. \n\nPrivate sales tend to target wealthy, experienced and accredited investors, where startups pitch their whitepapers and business ideas directly to institutional investors, angel investors and venture capital firms. During this time, investors can often be given a cheaper rate for a token before they enter the public sale stage. Ultimately, it equally benefits both the ICO startups and investors, as ICOs tend to raise a significant amount of capital while being less costly in legal fees, and investors get access to exclusive tokens, often at a discounted rate.\n\nSome of the recent examples of ICOs conducted fully through private sales are Telegram ($1.7B raised), Tatatu ($575M raised), and Basis at $133M of raised capital, according to [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-08/token-sales-turn-exclusive-as-private-investors-snatch-up-deals).\n\n ### The Next Step in Evolution? ###\n\nSo, are ICOs dead or dying? No, in fact, it’s quite the opposite — they’re evolving. Startups are now realizing they need to create a greater sense of trust between them and their investors. All the bad eggs have been thrown out of the basket, leaving nothing but quality ICOs and DAICOs to prosper in 2019.  \n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

Given the complexity of logistics paired with supply chain management, speed and accuracy can be exceptionally difficult to manage.\n\nCurrent logistics procedures, being mainly paper-based, are prone to human error and a lack of communication, which in turn leads to confusion in the supply chain. This can cause a considerable slowdown when processing forms, ultimately resulting in prolonged shipping times.\n\nThe use of [blockchain for logistics](https://openledger.info/solutions/blockchain-logistics/) is thought by many to be the next step in increasing the efficiency of logistics management. The key component of blockchain technology, a distributed ledger with its ability to perform actions autonomously, makes it a valuable tool for increasing logistics efficiency.   \n\n### [Read More About Current Logistics Problems](https://openledger.info/insights/blockchain-logistics/) ###\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

Each day seems to bring a new blockchain IoT use case, whether it be for the health, financial, automotive, or food industries. It is believed that in 2019 20% of all IoT devices will be built on blockchain. The following are just a few of the blockchain and IoT use cases being developed today.\n\n### 1. Clinitraq Pairs with NetObjex for Smarter Radiation Dosimetry ###\n\n\n**Organizations involved:** Clinitraq, NetObjex\n**Project status:** The product appears to be completed, and the demo can be requested on Clinitraq’s website.\n**Sources:** NetObjex’s case study\n\nClinitraq is a healthcare company that is currently building a dosimeter utilizing NetObjex IoT-Blockchain Platform. Dosimeters are badges that measure radiation levels its wearer has been exposed to. Current dosimeters can take between 30 to 60 days to provide results, whereas Clintraq’s dosimeter can provide results in real time. This is extremely beneficial to people who work in health or science as it helps to eliminate the risk of being exposed to too much radiation. As it is linked to NetObjex’s IoT-Blockchain Platform, data can be tracked, and firmware updates can be administered through the cloud.\n\n### 2. Telstra Brings Biometrics to Blockchain ###\n\n**Organizations involved:** Telstra\n**Project status:** Telstra introduced its IoT network in 2017. Since then, the company has been working to release a wide variety of products utilizing IoT.\n**Sources:** Article concerning Telstra’s IoT network\n\nAustralian telecom company Telstra is using blockchain paired with IoT to make its smart home system safer. As most smart homes currently rely on mobile apps for control, a device infected with malware can lead to nefarious actors gaining control. By uploading biometrics, such as face or fingerprint recognition, into a blockchain, Telstra provides a safer and more secure network.\n\n### [Read Full List of Use Cases](https://openledger.info/insights/blockchain-iot-use-cases/) ###\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

These conflict diamonds result in three to four million deaths per year. Given the alarming role conflict diamonds play in destabilizing countries, only 27% of diamond retailers are able to ensure their diamonds are conflict-free. Some solution is needed to reduce if not rid the Earth of conflict diamonds altogether.\n\nBlockchain technology is used throughout various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare and retail, globally for collaborative supply chain management. This provides companies with the ability to track an item from the moment it is created until the moment it is sold, while the data stays immutable throughout an asset’s path.\n\nThe pharmaceutical industry uses blockchain to track medicines from one point to the other. Healthcare providers are applying blockchain to securely store and collaborate on patient data. Walmart is using blockchain technology to track their leafy greens from farm to table, so why not diamonds? Tiffany and Co, one of the largest and greatest diamond distributors in the world, is stepping up their efforts to ensure they are selling conflict- as well as blood-free diamonds to their consumers.\n\n### [Read The Full Entry](https://medium.com/@openledger/tiffany-and-co-adopting-blockchain-for-diamond-tracking-97d185b739e3) ###\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

The survey also found that in the next calendar year 39% of firms plan to invest over $5 million in blockchain capabilities and 65% plan to spend over $1 million.\n\nFrom finance to marketing to healthcare, there’s not an industry that will not be impacted by the upcoming inflow of blockchain-based solutions. Let’s take a look at some ways blockchain can help businesses gear up for tomorrow.\n\n### Transparency ###\n\n**Whether it’s tracing a financial transaction record or looking up the shipping history of a particular product, transparency is key for efficient data checks.**\n\nBlockchain’s very architecture, where each node of the network stores a copy of the transaction ledger, means that every user always has a copy of the full record.\n\n[In supply chain, for instance](https://openledger.info/solutions/blockchain-supply-chain/), you can imagine that a product can be tracked from an IoT-enabled manufacturing system to a blockchain-based supply chain management platform all the way to a blockchain payment app used by the customer to purchase the product.\n\n### [Read The Full Entry](https://medium.com/@openledger/what-blockchain-is-going-to-change-in-your-business-tomorrow-52082639195e) ###\n\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

They are to provide professional consulting and support throughout all the ICO stages, helping to keep the team pointed in the right direction.**\n\nICO planning is effort-intensive, requiring to consider an increasing regulatory framework, along with marketing, PR, and branding to make your offering stand out in the crowd and ensure you’re being listed in all the right places.

Even more significantly, in 2016 there were only 29, which shows the meteoric rise in the sheer number of ICOs coming out of the woodwork.\n\nBut what makes a successful ICO? Is it only the amount of capital raised, or is it when the promised product is robust, development ongoing and communication frequent? It’s definitely some combination of those factors, but for an ICO to even get to that stage, it must make the goal by the deadline for the project to move forward.\n\nLooking at the numbers, there’s been a rather small percentage of ICOs that reach this milestone of success. In fact, in 2017 only [48% of ICOs](http://uk.businessinsider.com/how-much-raised-icos-2017-tokendata-2017-2018-1) were successful. The research compiled by [Suicide Ventures](https://research.suicide.ventures/analysis-for-october-2018-further-down-as-we-wait-for-market-reversal-and-maturity/) also shows the amount of money being raised by ICOs dropping, from $1.3 billion in January to just $290 million by September.\n\n### [Read Full Story Here](https://medium.com/@openledger/the-most-successful-icos-of-2018-and-how-to-learn-from-them-308aa84b53a8) ###\n\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",

      "body": "![](https://i.imgur.com/AqceC9k.png)\n\nAfter a banner year for the capital raised, and massive excitement surrounding the ICO market in 2017, things have been progressively softening in 2018. Despite the total funds raised so far in 2018 already exceed those raised last year by over 30%, the amounts have been [dribbling down continuously](https://www.icodata.io/stats/2018).\n\nPartially, this downward trend is driven by poor reputation of the crowdfunders. With every successful ICO, you hear stories about missed deadlines, lack of updates or worse — sometimes project leaders just disappear with the capital raised in the offering. This can lead to investor losses and jail time if the founders are caught.\n\nIn fact, a recent study by ICO advisory firm Statis showed that almost 80% of ICOs were identified as scams prior to trading. Of the remaining ones, only 15% continued on to keep trading, where only 7% found successful funding.\n\nThat’s why, with increasing fraud and deceptive practices among the hundreds of available ICOs, it’s more important than ever to make escrow services a part of your [ICO offering](https://openledger.info/services/ico/) to ensure investment. A properly executed escrow system can help avoid the problems while at the same time making your ICO look more attractive than others which lack such safeguards.\n\n### [Want to What is Escrow?

Willett [pioneered](https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2017/09/21/heres-the-man-who-created-icos-and-this-is-the-new-token-hes-backing/#689654e71183) the idea for his startup Mastercoin. That was 2013, and just a few short years later there have been [over 1,500 ICOs](https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.html?year=2018) to date.\n\nICOs follow the fundraising model of a traditional IPO, but instead of a stock, it is a new crypto or blockchain-based token offered by the company in exchange for investors’ funds. Usually, there is a specific business case or new functionality promised.\n\nUnlike on the stock market, you don’t have to actually build a successful company before the ICO. However, companies must complete their research, concept, strategy, roadmap and marketing/PR plan. The investment-seeking startup should clearly communicate to potential investors how their product is going to solve the outlined problem.\n\nEOS has [raised](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/31/a-blockchain-start-up-just-raised-4-billion-without-a-live-product.html) over $4 billion dollars so far using the ICO model, and other successful examples include Ethereum ($18.4 million in [2014](https://coinnounce.com/ethereum-ico-2014/)), ARK ($5 million in [2016](https://cryptovest.com/reviews/ark-ico-peaking-review/)) and Bankera ($151 million [2018](https://bitcoinist.com/bankera-ico-raises-100-million-euros-record-breaking-number-contributors/)). More than the initial money raised, you can also measure success by the return on that initial investment, which is as [high](https://www.bitcoinmarketjournal.com/biggest-icos-roi/) as 598,000% (NXT).\n\n### [Read The Full Entry](https://openledger.info/insights/daico-vs-ico-differences-explained/) ###\n\n\n***\n[![](https://i.imgur.com/HklL2v1.png)](openledger.info)\n\n### [Openledger](https://openledger.info) delivers the blockchain services and custom blockchain development that powers real business transformations. ###\n\nCreate new business tools based on revolutionary decentralized networks that change your industry forever.\n\n### Follow us: ###\n\n**::: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/openledgerdc) ::: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pg/OpenLedgerDC/) ::: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openledger/) ::: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZHkjzM5Vp5RH0H_XGBtS0g) :::**",
