      "body": "http://navcoin.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/logo-extended.png\n\nToday i'm going to explain why I  believe NAV Coin is still one of the many  highly underrated alt coins on the market,  please also take into consideration this is my personal opinion and I suggest you always DYOR.\n\nAlthough it seems more and more projects are concerned with making great software which protects peoples privacy rather than what price it trades for on any given day but let me go over a few things that I really like about the NAV team.\n\n-Nav Coin has in fact been trading since July 2014 and were one of the first fully anonymous cryptocurrency that runs purely on blockchain technology.\n\n-NAV Coin also uses a secondary blockchain called a “Subchain” to direct transactions between our receiving and sending servers. All previous anonymous cryptocurrencies relied on a singular blockchain and usually some kind of database which means two things; Transactions can be ultimately traced through careful analysis of their single block chain and/or they rely on insecure and non-immuable data storage like a SQL database to direct transactions between wallets as they shuffle the coins around.\n\n-Concentrates on providing a good payment system but according to the white paper it appears it has much more to offer than that.\n\n-Active community aswell as plenty of ongoing developments that focus on making a very user friendly platform\n\n-Super fast transactions (within 30 seconds)\n\n-Awesome low fee's  :)\n\n-PoS. Also earn 5% by switching your wallet to staking & requires extremely low power to mine, especially if mining with a Raspberry Pi\n\n-Nav Coin is one of the few coins that is already running on Segwit\n\n-***61.5 million in circulation***\n-***5% annual increase***\n-***Plans to implement Nav Coin Direct (a platform for buying Nav with FIAT such as Mastercard, Visa, Paypal etc.)***\n-***High volume on bittrex & poloniex***\n-***Available on Changelly.com***\n\nThe Nav team currently consists of 5 engineers , 3 community engineers and 5 digital strategists. I believe it's only a matter of time before this hidden gem reaches a new ATH as it's highly active community and easy to use service is hard to come by these days but please remember this is my opinion and as previously mentioned DYOR and always invest what you can afford to lose.",

      "body": "Bitcoin just got a vote of confidence from Switzerland's legendary banking system.\n\n-Falcon Private Bank said Wednesday it received approval from a Swiss regulator to offer bitcoin products.\n-This is the first time the Swiss regulator has done so.\n-The decision could pave the way for other global regulators to approve bitcoin products.\n\nSwitzerland's financial markets regulator has approved the first Swiss private bank for bitcoin asset management, potentially paving the way for other global banks to offer digital currency products.\n\nZurich-based Falcon Private Bank announced Wednesday that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, or FINMA, gave the bank the green light on managing assets based on the blockchain technology behind bitcoin and other digital currencies.\n\n\"People here are thinking this is beyond bitcoin. This is a new chapter in how we exchange money. As a financial services partner, I think we have to become part of that strategy,\" Arthur Vayloyan, global head of products and services at Falcon, told CNBC in a phone interview.\n\nHe said the company began officially discussing bitcoin asset management in January, applied for regulator approval on June 23 and received it Tuesday. Falcon has 14.6 billion Swiss francs ($15.13 billion) in client assets and has offices in Zurich, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and London.\n\"As a rule, FINMA never comments on individual companies,\" the regulator's spokesman, Vincent Mathys, told CNBC.\n\nFalcon will access bitcoin through Swiss-based digital currency broker Bitcoin Suisse.\n\nThe CEO of Bitcoin Suisse, Niklas Nikolajsen, told CNBC in a phone interview that contrary to many expectations, the Swiss regulator was more concerned about consumer protection than bitcoin's potential use for illegal activities.\n\"I would assume it would not be long before the rest of the banking sector will follow suit,\" Nikolajsen said. \"The genie is out of the bottle and crypto assets bring a value proposition that you can't ignore.\"\n\nThe Bank of England declined to comment. In the U.S., the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. declined to comment, while the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\nSwitzerland is known for being a global leader in banking practices. The country is also one of the friendliest to digital currency enthusiasts. Its Zug region has already been dubbed \"Crypto Valley\" for the number of digital currency businesses located there.\n\nSwiss firm MME was the legal advisor and PricewaterhouseCoopers was the auditor in the approval process.\n\nFalcon has installed a bitcoin ATM in its Zurich headquarters lobby that allows clients to withdraw bitcoin to their phones. As a private bank, Falcon has an official minimum of 2 million Swiss francs for clients, but Vayloyan said the firm could consider clients with assets of more than several thousand francs.",

      "body": "Barclays, Britain’s largest bank, has been discussing cryptocurrencies like bitcoin with UK’s primary financial regulator.\n\nAshok Vaswani, CEO of Barclays UK, revealed the bank and FinTech firms have been in talks with the Financial Conduct Authority, UK’s financial regulator and watchdog.\n\nIn an interview with CNBC, Vaswani was specifically asked about the possibility of Barclays enabling bitcoin accounts at a time when everyday retail investors adopt the world’s most prominent cryptocurrency.\n\n“Is this something you reckon Barclays could support via an account? Is this an area that you want to get into as well?” was the question, hinting toward an implementation similar to that of billion-dollar financial giant Fidelity. Later this year, Fidelity Investments’ customers will be able to see their bitcoin and Ethereum holdings, if any, on US-based digital currency exchange Coinbase.\n\nWhile details are scarce, the banking executive discussed the possibility of about bringing cryptocurrencies “into play”, although there’s no way to tell yet what “the play” would entail in introducing cryptocurrencies into society.\n\nn a public talk earlier this month, FCA strategy and competition director Chris Woolard revealed the regulator does not prohibit regulated firms from trading digital currencies nor prohibit banks from offering banking services to firms using blockchain technology or digital currencies.\n\n“I am not saying that we view digital currencies as an inherently bad thing…but we do have to exercise a degree of caution,” Woolard stated.\n\nLot of work going on blockchain [technology],” the Barclays CEO added, quick to point out that Barclays had facilitated the world’s first trade finance transaction on a blockchain in September 2016, with the export of cheese and butter from an Irish agricultural co-operative to a trading company in Seychelles.\n\nBarclays has already been involved in the digital currency space after partnering former bitcoin-startup Circle which gained an electronic money license from the FCA in April 2016. Furthermore, former group CEO of Barclays Anthony Jenkins has, in late 2015, predicted that the banking industry is set to lose 50% of its workforce due to an oncoming ‘Uber moment’ brought on by financial technologies.\n\nSource: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/barclays-discusses-bitcoin-like-cryptocurrencies-uks-financial-regulator/",

      "title": "The Pros & Cons Investing In A Cryptocurrency ICO",
      "body": "Initial Coin Offerings\" are all the rage these days but many people are asking themselves these days \"Is it worth it?\" A project called Bancor raised $153 million within a few hours. This week, another called Status.im collected at least $64 million. Both evoked so much attention that transactions clogged up the underlying network. The startup behind chat app Kik is planning an ICO sometime this year. According to a recent CoinDesk report, \"So far in 2017, blockchain entrepreneurs have raised a staggering $327m through ICO offerings, a figure that now exceeds the $295m raised through VC funding.\"\n\nThe simplest way to understand an ICO is that it consists of crowdfunding on top of a blockchain (the technology behind Bitcoin). Investors buy tokens -- units of digital currency -- which are typically meant to be an integral part of the application that the startup wants to build. The bet is that the application will be popular and thereby generate demand for the tokens, increasing their value. So far, most ICOs are built on top of Ethereum, which is like a version of Bitcoin that can also host applications called \"smart contracts.\"\n\nThere is big money here, much of it coming from China as we know how much growth Chinese backed Antshares had. But plenty of investors from all over the world want to get in on the ground floor, hoping to become a stakeholder in a startup that could turn out to be the next Google or Facebook. Meanwhile, critics say that ICOs are schemes to evade SEC regulation, or that ICOs have potential but the current fervor is a bubble.\n\nLet's get to the real question: Should you invest? Is this a good way to get rich quick? In the case of most ICOs, the answer is no, but contrary to Betteridge's Law, there are occasions when the answer is yes. As with all high-return investments, buying cryptocurrency is risky, and ICOs are riskier still. And as with all active investments in general, it is wise to never commit more money than you can afford to lose.\n\nThat said, if 1) a project makes sense as a business and 2) there is demonstrated demand for it, and 3) the business is something that needs a cryptocurrency token system to work, and 4) you can commit the funds without hardship, then sure, go ahead. Alternately, if you know that you are a talented speculator irrespective of an asset's underlying value. (However, this is probably not true even if you think it is. Even most professional stock traders don't beat the market.)\n\nThat said, it is crucial to understand that buying into an ICO is not the same as buying stock. When you buy stock, you literally buy a piece of the company. Similarly, stock is regulated and obligations like fiduciary duty and accreditation are involved. Legal infrastructure may come to cryptocurrencies eventually, but we are not there yet.\n\nRather, as Investopedia plainly put it: \"Early investors in the operation are usually motivated to buy the cryptocoins in the hope that the plan becomes successful after it launches which could translate to a higher cryptocoin value than what they purchased it for before the project was initiated.\"\n\nOn top of that, a typical ICO company has a website and a whitepaper, but no functional product. The consensus in the venture capital world is that it's not good for a new startup to get too much money too quickly. The founders will feel compelled to spend the funds simply because they're there, and abundant resources will reduce the need to hustle hard for product-market fit.\nNeither is Ethereum itself a stable store of value. A flash-crash shook the market on Wednesday. Prominent Ethereum developer Vlad Zamfir‏ said in March, \"Ethereum isn't safe or scalable. It is immature experimental tech. Don't rely on it for mission critical apps unless absolutely necessary!\" It is worth stressing that ICOs, which usually rely on Ethereum, are themselves an experimental mechanism.\n\nIn closing: You might be able to make money by investing in ICOs. But there are substantial risks involved and you should try to approximate the due diligence that a traditional investor would conduct before committing cash to a new project.",

But plenty of investors from all over the world want to get in on the ground floor, hoping to become a stakeholder in a startup that could turn out to be the next Google or Facebook. Meanwhile, critics say that ICOs are schemes to evade SEC regulation, or that ICOs have potential but the current fervor is a bubble.\n\nLet's get to the real question: Should you invest? Is this a good way to get rich quick? In the case of most ICOs, the answer is no, but contrary to Betteridge's Law, there are occasions when the answer is yes. As with all high-return investments, buying cryptocurrency is risky, and ICOs are riskier still. And as with all active investments in general, it is wise to never commit more money than you can afford to lose.\n\nThat said, if 1) a project makes sense as a business and 2) there is demonstrated demand for it, and 3) the business is something that needs a cryptocurrency token system to work, and 4) you can commit the funds without hardship, then sure, go ahead. Alternately, if you know that you are a talented speculator irrespective of an asset's underlying value. (However, this is probably not true even if you think it is. Even most professional stock traders don't beat the market.)\n\nThat said, it is crucial to understand that buying into an ICO is not the same as buying stock. When you buy stock, you literally buy a piece of the company. Similarly, stock is regulated and obligations like fiduciary duty and accreditation are involved. Legal infrastructure may come to cryptocurrencies eventually, but we are not there yet.\n\nRather, as Investopedia plainly put it: \"Early investors in the operation are usually motivated to buy the cryptocoins in the hope that the plan becomes successful after it launches which could translate to a higher cryptocoin value than what they purchased it for before the project was initiated.\"\n\nOn top of that, a typical ICO company has a website and a whitepaper, but no functional product. The consensus in the venture capital world is that it's not good for a new startup to get too much money too quickly. The founders will feel compelled to spend the funds simply because they're there, and abundant resources will reduce the need to hustle hard for product-market fit.\nNeither is Ethereum itself a stable store of value. A flash-crash shook the market on Wednesday. Prominent Ethereum developer Vlad Zamfir‏ said in March, \"Ethereum isn't safe or scalable. It is immature experimental tech. Don't rely on it for mission critical apps unless absolutely necessary!\" It is worth stressing that ICOs, which usually rely on Ethereum, are themselves an experimental mechanism.\n\nIn closing: You might be able to make money by investing in ICOs. But there are substantial risks involved and you should try to approximate the due diligence that a traditional investor would conduct before committing cash to a new project.",
