      "body": "As April is quickly coming to a close and Spring-type weather is attempting to sprout full time in Manhattan, the staff at NYC Blockchain and Cryptocurrency figured this was the perfect opportunity to recommend some of our favorite cryptocurrency companies (or companies that accept cryptocurrency) that will continue to blossom in 2019 and beyond. The only guidelines our team set for the forthcoming list is that the companies we choose do NOT have a cryptocurrency of their own. Without further adieu, here are the cryptocurrency companies we like in 2019.\n\n\n<b>Lolli (@trylolli) - Earn Bitcoin rewards when you shop with supported merchants</b>\n\nWith Lolli, users are able to receive cash back rewards in Bitcoin when they shop at over 500+ top stores. Some of these stores include the likes of Walmart, Bloomingdales, Foot Locker, Seatgeek, VRBO, and many more! The Lolli team works around the clock to add new vendors daily (Here’s looking at you Amazon).\n\n As per the Lolli twitter account, “Our average bitcoin back savings is ~7%. If you spend $15k/year on groceries, travel, clothing, essentials, experiences, etc. using Lolli, you will earn an est. 0.20 BTC (currently ~$1,050)..”. \n\nWe’d also be remiss if we didn’t include our referral link with this Lolli mention. \nhttps://lolli.com/ref/RCWkKCtQx3\n\n\n<b>Bitrefill (@bitrefill) - Buy Gift Cards and Refill your phone with Cryptocurrency</b>\n\nBitrefill is a Swedish based company which allows users to purchase gift cards and refill their mobile phones utilizing cryptocurrency. Currently, Bitrefill allows over 700+ international gift cards to be purchased which are supported in 150+ countries around the globe. Bitrefill’s mobile phone refill setup is supported by over 900+ of the world’s top prepaid mobile providers, allowing users to effortlessly top up their mobile device. Cryptocurrencies accepted by the company include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Dogecoin and Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. \n\nIn addition to the above, Bitrefill also allows for the utilization of the company’s well connected lightning node, allowing customers to settle transactions instantly. With over 130,000 happy customers served worldwide, Bitrefill is quickly making a name for itself within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.\n\n\n<b>Overstock (@Overstock) - Purchase a variety of items using Cryptocurrency</b>\n\nSome will say we broke our only rule from the intro of NOT choosing a company that has its own Cryptocurrency. The only difference here with Overstock however is the tZERO token (and its security token trading platform) has nothing to do with the sweet, sweet satisfaction of having the opportunity to buy anything (from a nice gold plated Rolex watch to a 360 degree stainless steel fish tank) using your Bitcoin. \nThe online retailer was one of the first major companies to accept cryptocurrency, with the original announcement dating back to 2014. Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is a true ally to the cryptocurrency ecosystem as he has believes the digital currency will eventually become a mainstream payment method around the globe. While the company has experimented with accepting a number of different altcoins (including ETH, XMR, and BCH) in the past, they are sticking solely with Bitcoin at the moment. So go ahead, feel free to splurge on that nice full bedroom furniture set..you deserve it!\n\n\n<b>Cash App (@cashapp) - Buy and Sell Bitcoin effortlessly</b>\n\nThe Cash App is a mobile payment service that allows its users to transfer funds between one another as well as accept credit card payments for your business. The platform has amassed a total of over 10+ Million active users since its inception. \n\nIn January of 2018, the company announced its expansion into the world of Cryptocurrency by allowing users to buy and sell Bitcoin with no fees attached. Today, the platform has also introduced Bitcoin withdrawals with deposits forthcoming. For those looking for a simple way to effortlessly buy and sell Bitcoin without your typical “Coinbase annoyance factors”, Cash App is your bet. \n\n\n\nSo that’s our very small and concise list of companies in the cryptocurrency world we like in 2019. We purposely left the list small so we can hear from some of your favorite companies in this space. Don’t be a stranger and give a shout out to your favorite company!",

While we have done extensive online research and used our best judgement to separate fact from fiction, there may be portions of this article which the bitcoin and/or cryptocurrency community may not fully agree on. With that said, grab your tin-foil hats as we take a deep dive into the origins of Bitcoin and its fascinating connection with both the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency.\n<br>\n<i>“Or the NSA itself decided to create Bitcoin. Things as big as megacorps and governments work against themselves all the time, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the NSA has some part in at least supporting it” – Vitalik Buterin – 05 June 2011</i>\n\n<center><b>Block Zero</b></center>\nOn January 3rd, 2009, the Blockchain and the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin were publicly launched, in what is now one of the most intriguing combinations of currency and technology in our lifetime. With much of the Western world attempting to overcome the adverse effects of the Great Recession of the late 2000’s, Block Zero, also referred to as Bitcoin’s genesis block could not have come at a more opportune moment. Created by Satoshi Nakamoto <i>(we’ll touch more on this individual in a bit)</i>, Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic payment system that allows online payments to be sent from one party to another without the need of a third party intermediary, such as a bank. All transactions are logged onto the aforementioned Blockchain, a decentralized and immutable public ledger that functions using the computing power of various individuals around the world. At a time where subprime mortgages and government-backed bank bailouts were the norm in everyday conversation in the United States, a revolution was taking place behind closed doors to disrupt the seemingly shady financial industry. But did this revolution indirectly receive <i>special assistance</i> from the likes of the NSA and CIA? \n\n<center><b>Satoshi Nakamoto</b></center>\nWho is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto? If you asked three different individuals in the blockchain/cryptocurrency ecosystem this very question, there is a good chance you end up with three separate answers. What many believe as fact however is the name, “Satoshi Nakamoto” is a pseudonym for the person or group of cryptographers who contributed to the early stages of the Bitcoin project. Researchers looking to uncover the identity of Satoshi found his work read as that of a native English speaker while occasionally using British-English terminology and spelling variations. Researchers also noticed that Satoshi would not post (which we assume is for rest) on the popular Cryptocurrency forum Bitcointalk between the hours of 6am - 11am UTC, which would lead us to believe he was living somewhere in the Americas. \n\nThe former CEO of Kaspersky Labs, Natayla Kaspersky mentioned in a presentation at ITMO University in Russia that “Satoshi” was a group of American cryptographers working to design “quick funding for U.S., British, and Canadian intelligence agencies in different countries”. Kaspersky implied covert agents would be able to sneak across the world and withdraw fiat currency at will without being identified and tracked by opposing government officials.  \n\nSatoshi vanished from the Bitcoin space in 2011 noting, “I’ve moved on to other things. It’s [the Bitcoin project] in good hands with Gavin [Andresen] and everyone.”. Before Satoshi left, he managed to mine about one million Bitcoin, or a little under 5% of the total Bitcoin supply of twenty-one million Bitcoin. With this amount of Bitcoin, Satoshi would be able to effectively flood the market and have the price drop to miniscule levels at any moment he wishes. Over the past 7 years however, the Bitcoin haven’t been touched and idly sit by in Satoshi’s wallet.  \n\n<center><b>The NSA and CIA Connection</b></center>\nAs previously mentioned, the creation of Bitcoin may have received some special assistance from the NSA and/or the CIA.  Without delving too far down the rabbit hole, we have listed some brief points of interest on how/why US intelligence agencies might have contributed to the Bitcoin project:\n\n•\tSHA256, the cryptographic hash function that can be used for mining and the creation of bitcoin wallet addresses was designed by the NSA. Might a team of NSA insiders pushed for this specific hash function already fully understanding its capabilities? \n\n•\tEconomic Espionage. The United States now has a tool to covertly transfer funds electronically anywhere across the world leaving behind very little physical evidence.\n\n•\tWhile the Western world and the US Dollar suffered from the “Great Recession”, China and Russia grew much stronger economically. As a result, the worldwide strength of the Dollar fell from the highs of the previous decades. Could Bitcoin have been created as a temporary crutch for the US to maintain its status as the top economic superpower?\n\n•\tDespite numerous individuals working with Satoshi Nakamoto, not one of them was unable to uncover any information regarding this mysterious character. If Satoshi was indeed a group of cryptology anarchists, the cohesion of privacy, intelligence and “keeping the story straight” by all project team members was immaculate….and perhaps even taught. \n\n•\tFollowing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the CIA stated the “request has been rejected, with the agency stating it can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the requested documents.”. This is known as the “Glomar Response” is a tactic used to keep vital information undisclosed while also simultaneously not lying with the answer. \n\n<center><b>In Conclusion</b></center>\nWhile we at SAvant PR do not anticipate the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto or the day zero Bitcoin origins to be revealed anytime soon (if ever), the cryptocurrency community can continue to compile information which can push the consensus one way or the other. Along with the creation of the computer and internet, blockchain technology and digital currencies are one of the most significant inventions of the past few decades, allowing for continued advancements of our society as a whole. As we move forward into the future, we can only hope the positive use cases continue to outweigh the bad. \n\n\n<b><i>SOURCES</i></b>\n1.\thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto\n2.\thttp://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/finneynakamotoemails.pdf\n3.\thttps://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/we-need-to-know-who-satoshi-nakamoto-is\n4.\thttp://www.businessinsider.com/satoshi-nakamoto-was-weird-and-bossy-says-bitcoin-developer-2018-5\n5.\thttps://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/27/bitcoins-origin-story-remains-shrouded-in-mystery-heres-why-it-matters.html\n6.\thttp://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-history-cryptocurrency-satoshi-nakamoto-2017-12\n7.\thttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2014/01/03/hal-finney-received-the-first-bitcoin-transaction-heres-how-he-describes-it\n8.\thttps://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoins-quirky-genesis-block-turns-eight-years-old-today/\n9.\thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2\n10.\thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency\n11.\thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_espionage\n12.\thttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/the-crypto-currency\n13.\thttps://cryptovest.com/news/bitcoin-created-by-us-government-says-natalya-kaspersky/\n14.\thttps://news.bitcoin.com/satoshi-nakamoto-known-to-cia-fbi-created-by-nsa-search-intensifies/",

Since their inception in 2009, cryptocurrencies have allowed individuals to break away from fiat currencies and transfer value pseudo-anonymously using cryptography and our favorite immutable public ledger known as the blockchain.  \n\nThe hype behind cryptocurrency and the blockchain come from the different use cases and how this technology can be applied to a variety of different industries. As of this very moment, we can see the blockchain and cryptocurrency gaining traction in the supply chain, governmental affairs and virtual gaming industries.\n\n With the supply chain industry, the blockchain has allowed supply chain companies to effectively and efficiently track shipments of products and materials from the origin to their final destination. In addition, verifiable supply chain traceability and product authentication will be readily available for brands on both the selling and purchasing end. \n \nIn the era of “fake news”, there has been a growing blur of fact vs fiction. Unfortunately, news networks and media corporations will sometimes purposely omit factual information to sway the perception of a specific topic to one that meets their interests. Harnessing the power of the blockchain, National Governments can accurately monitor taxes and revenue, provide fair and trustless voting platforms, and implement secure identity management systems that are trustworthy for the 21st century and beyond. \n\n<b><center>Virtual Worlds and Goods</center></b>\n\nMonetization of the virtual world is still a work in progress at this time. Valuation of goods across different games and platforms will require set standards and precedent to be put into place by gamers and developers alike. What may be valuable to a World of Warcraft gamer may not hold any value to a Fortnite gamer. Per the virtual asset platform, Wax, It is estimated around 60% of console gamers, 43% of PC gamers and 33% of smartphone gamers purchase virtual goods online. In all, this equates to a $10 Billion + industry. \n\nBranding and Marketing efforts across the gaming community have increased tenfold as new game development studios enter the global marketplace. When it comes to virtual worlds and goods, consumers are willing to pay for virtual goods that align with their real world beliefs. They view their virtual self as an extension of their real world self. \n\nWhen time and effort are put into a video game, the value of your accomplishments will build as these games usually incorporate a virtual currency. However, this value can’t be transferred out of the game into a different game, which creates a \"closed loop system\" for the gamer. Companies such as the previously mentioned “WAX” are opening up secondary markets for trading accounts and other virtual goods. Developers can do a better job to help create these markets which will increase their revenue and bring more value to their players. To accomplish this feat, developers will need to adjust the ownership structure of their virtual goods and create/incorporate markets that charge a minimal transaction fee for those interacting in a person to person exchange. \n\n<b><center>Enjin Coin</center></b>\n\nEnjin Coin is an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum blockchain that provides game developers and content creators with the necessary tools to implement their virtual world onto the blockchain. As adoption for Enjin Coin spreads and it becomes the “ultimate gaming coin” as its creators envision, gamers will be enticed to play more games that utilize this platform as their in-game value can now be transferred between games. \n\nThe Enjin team has recently created a new non-fungible token known as the ERC-1155. This allows for game developers to efficiently manage the trade of virtual goods in games to deter any congestion on the Ethereum blockchain. The transfer, approve, melt and trade functions for the ERC-1155 token will allow users to perform between 100-200 operations in a single transaction between one or more recipients. Enjin Coin will bring additional value to the gaming community by allowing the transfer of value across both games and platforms to create virtual economies which rival tangible goods economies. \n\nEnjin already hosts large communities for multiple games which will help with building a brand that is already trusted by gamers. The Enjin Coin team has already enabled virtual goods transactions through their web platform and have also created their own wallet to store your funds, which is a safer option than holding tokens on one of many of the popular exchanges (Binance, CoinEx and HitBTC) that support the token. In addition to the above, Enjin coin can be used by game developers and online communities for crowdfunding new projects, sponsorship for top players, and giveaways to the community. \nThis is an ambitious project that has the proper system in place to disrupt how online gaming worlds can interact with each other as well as the real world.\n\nAdditional information on Enjin Coin including their whitepaper, team, roadmap and social media accounts can be found on their website at https://enjincoin.io\n\n*image provided via gameprotocol.io",

At this time two years ago, the daily volume across the market was at 133.8MM. Today this number stands at 16.28B, which is over 100 times the amount it was previously. \nWith the rise in daily volume, there has been and continues to be a large influx of new users joining this modern day gold rush. Many, if not all of these new users are unaware of the research and dedication necessary to be a successful investor in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. In this blog post, we intend to show the eight most asked questions about investing in cryptocurrency along with our analysis on how to solve these questions.\n\n<b>The 8 Most Asked Questions About Investing in Cryptocurrency</b>\n\nBelow are some of the most frequently questions asked by new investors in the crypto ecosystem. While our answers are intended to be helpful, we do not intend for them to be used as investment advice. In the digital asset world, it is suggested investors do as much research prior to and during their investment process. Without further ado, here is our list:\n\n•\tHow do you buy cryptocurrency?\n•\tHow much money should I invest?\n•\tWhat is the best cryptocurrency to invest in?\n•\tWhen is the best time to buy or sell?\n•\tWhat drives the price of the many cryptocurrencies?\n•\tHow can I prevent my cryptocurrency from getting hacked/stolen?\n•\tWhere can you find out additional information on cryptocurrencies?\n•\tWhy aren’t more people investing in cryptocurrencies?\n\n<b>How do you buy cryptocurrency?</b> The answer to this question will vary for everyone depending on their geographic location. The easiest and safest method is to register an account with an exchange that allows fiat (dollars, euros, etc.) to be purchased directly for cryptocurrency. In the United States, Coinbase is one of the more popular fiat to crypto exchanges that allows users to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. A quick google search can lead you in the direction of the best fiat to crypto exchange available in your country. If the investor would like to go a different route to purchase cryptocurrency, there is also the option of purchasing via a Bitcoin ATM (or BTM for short) as well as Local Bitcoin/Local Ethereum which is a person to person “meetup” service where fiat is exchanged for crypto right in your own immediate area.\n\n<b>How much money should I invest?</b> As a word of advice, it is recommended investors invest as much as they are willing to lose. To begin, Cryptocurrency in general is still very much a speculative asset, and as a result, the different digital assets will experience extremely volatility within the market. Factor in scamming and hacking and investors will quickly understand investing in cryptocurrency is something that should be taken seriously and with the proper due diligence. As many in the community say, “with great risk comes great reward!”.\n\n<b>What is the best cryptocurrency to invest in?</b> The answer to this question will once again be up to the user. While there is no “can’t miss” cryptocurrency to invest in, Bitcoin is a great place to begin as it is one of the more popular cryptocurrencies available with a large share of the global market. Digital assets with real world use cases are just one of the many examples of the various assets you can invest in. Research is once again the key to make the most practical decision. An informational website such as Coinmarketcap.com has a bit of information on the various cryptocurrencies available for research purposes. \n\n<b>When is the best time to buy and sell?</b> As the old trading/investing adage goes, “buy low, sell high”. Once again, this is a question best answered by each individual investor. Fundamental Analysis (intrinsic value measuring) and Technical Analysis (identifying trends and patterns on an asset’s chart) are two methods traders in the ecosystem like to use as it gives them an educated prediction on how a particular crypto-asset will fare in the market. Another tip is to set specific entry and exit points for both short-term and long-term trades to assist your decision making process.\n\n<b>What drives the price of the many cryptocurrencies?</b> At this moment in time, exchange listings on popular exchanges and partnership agreements drive price points up by the largest percentages. In addition, technical improvements, use case expansion and addition of a team member from a well-known company or industry can result in a positive correlation. Many of the cryptoasset related message boards, social media platforms and discord/slack servers can keep investors and traders up-to-date with the latest information. \n\n<b>How can I prevent my cryptocurrency from getting hacked/stolen?</b> In order to have full control over your various cryptocurrencies, you must own the private keys for your assets. While online exchanges do seem like reasonable places to store your assets, they are susceptible to hacking, fraud and sometimes incompetence. If it is decided an online exchange will be used for storage purposes, 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) is strongly recommended. A hardware, online or paper wallet allow the investor to be in absolute control of his/her funds. In addition to the above, investors are urged to never reveal their private keys to anyone as this will allow hackers to drain your wallet. Above all, investors should use common sense when dealing within the ecosystem as scams can be found around every corner. \n\n<b>Where can you find out additional information on cryptocurrencies?</b> As previously mentioned in the post, crypto related message boards, social media platforms and discord/slack servers can keep investors and traders up-to-date with the latest information. Additionally, there are a number of helpful web pages and online wikis available to help the beginner gain a fundamental understanding of the ecosystem. \n\n\n<b>Why aren’t more people investing in cryptocurrencies?</b> At this point of blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption, we are in the tail end of the early adopter stage and beginning to enter the early majority stage. Many top businesses, investment banks and even local/national governments have expressed interest in crypto and the blockchain. Consider yourself in good company if you have already made an investment into this ecosystem. The fun is just getting underway.  \n\n\nFor additional exciting and up to the minute cryptocurrency news and events, be sure to follow us on twitter!\n@SAvant__PR",

The highly speculative digital assets were designed to be used as a medium of exchange between two parties on an immutable public ledger following the great recession of 2008 which rocked the global financial markets. Fast forward ten years to present time and the blockchain as well as cryptocurrencies have the top business, governments and national banks interested in the power behind the technology. As a result, a large majority of the cryptocurrencies available have risen dramatically over the past couple years. In 2017 alone, the value of the premier cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, rose from its low of $960 to its peak of around $20,000, which amounts to an extraordinary 2000% increase.\n\nWith the rise of popularity of both the blockchain and cryptocurrency, there have been a number of new and unique terminologies that have appeared in the crypto communities, confusing many everyday individuals who are new to the technology and usage. With this blog post, we plan to touch upon many of the popular terms for our readers so you are able to fully understand the messages on cryptocurrency/blockchain based message boards, discord/slack servers and social media platforms. \n\n<b><center>Popular Key Terms</center></b>\nTo begin, we will list a number of the general key terms used around the community as well as an easy to decipher definition to maximize readability for the beginner.<br><br>\n\n•\tBlockchain: A secure public ledger that is unable to be hacked or changed by any individual which shows pseudo-anonymous transactions between two parties. There is no need for any central server or trusted authority to confirm transactions.\n•\tBlock: A continuous growing list of records which are then linked together on the blockchain. \n•\tDecentralization: The process where authority or decision-making is taken away from one single centralized source and are instead distributed between a group of agents.\n•\tAddress: The location to which users will either send or receive their cryptocurrency. Each coin will have its own unique address. \n•\tAltcoin: Any digital asset/cryptocurrency which does not refer to Bitcoin.\n•\tWallet: The location where your cryptocurrencies will be held. Many coins have their own specific wallet which can store your assets. \n•\tSmartcontract: Trustless, Self-executed agreement between two separate parties which are noted on the blockchain. Each party will set the terms of the agreement, which will then automatically go into effect. \n•\tFork: When a user group of one particular blockchain decides to split the coin in a different direction to have the coin function as they see fit. One example here is when the Bitcoin blockchain was forked to then become Bitcoin Cash.\n•\tMining: Using your computing power and electricity to add transactions onto the blockchain you are mining. As a result, miners will generate a small amount of that cryptocurrency for the work completed. \nThe terms above can be used in general conversation when discussing both digital assets as well as the blockchain and how it operates.\n\n<b><center>Popular Investing Terms</center></b>\nIn addition to the general terms, we have cultivated a list of terms for our readers looking to get involved with investing and trading. As a disclaimer, proper due diligence should always take place when looking into different investment options. As a word of advice, investors and traders should only invest the amount they are willing to lose. Once again, we have provided definitions for each term that allow for maximum readability.<br><br>\n\n•\tExchange: An online marketplace where digital assets can be purchased, sold, and stored within the company’s servers. \n•\tFiat Currency: Physical money such as dollars and euros.\n•\tBullish: A positive sentiment for the global market or for a specific coin/token.\n•\tBearish: A negative sentiment for the global market or for a specific coin/token.\n•\tATH: All-time high. When a coin (or portfolio) hits its highest recorded point\n•\tMarketcap: The total supply of a cryptocurrency multiplied by its price. This can be used to observe and predict potential growth possibilities.\n•\tICO: Initial Coin Offering. A token sale offered by a company that is releasing a new cryptocurrency. This can be compared to an IPO in traditional financial markets. \n•\tFOMO: Fear of Missing Out. This term is often used when the sentiment on a coin/token is extremely high at a particular moment and investors don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to increase their portfolio gains. \n•\tFUD: Fear Uncertainty Doubt. This is a disinformation strategy used by a competing product or investors who wish to persuade others to invest elsewhere. \n•\tMoon: When an investment made undergoes tremendous gains. \n•\tPump & Dump: A scheme where a group attempts to artificially raise the price of a coin and then sell that same coin when other investors buy the coin at the heightened price. It is advised to stay away from groups of this nature. \n\n<b><center>The Future Ahead</center></b>\nAt this moment in time, we are still in the infancy of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Each day, there seems to be a new ICO ready to launch to increase the efficiency of our society while the technology behind the blockchain continues to grow and evolve to something that can be of use to individuals around the world. \nThe above general and investing terms mentioned in this post are only a small taste of what the cryptocurrency/blockchain community has to offer. Knowledge is key at this stage in the game. It is advised to continue to stay up to date with the latest news to become a well-rounded trader and investor. As mentioned before, the top business, governments and national banks are becoming interested in digital currencies and the blockchain. It doesn’t look as if this technology will be disappearing anytime soon. \n\nFor additional information on the SAvant PR brand, check out our twitter account!\nwww.twitter.com/SAvant__PR",

With the Internet Of Things (IOT) revolution now fully underway, any device with some sort of internet connectivity can now be connected to each other on the blockchain. The XYO Network is also able to ensure the technology of today and tomorrow such as self-driving vehicles, drones and GPS reliant infrastructure are not at risk from malicious actors looking to cause damage and harm. Decentralized, location-reliant decentralized applications (or dapps) are able to be built by developers on the blockchain agnostic platform which supports popular chains such as Ethereum, Stellar, EOS and more.  \n\n<b>Proof of Origin</b>\n\nThe XYO Network utilizes a “Proof of Origin” which is a bidirectional proof that a node (or more simply a device) is where the GPS data says it is using another nearby node for verification purposes. A cryptographic method known as “zero-knowledge proof” are used in these instances. These proofs provide authentication without exchanging private data, so private data is unable to be exposed or stolen. The team behind XYO Network developed the “Proof of Origin” concept from two closely related concepts used for blockchain purposes which are “Proof of Location” and “Proof of Presence.” \n\n<b>Network Components</b>\n\nThere are 4 components that help run the XYO Network: Sentinels, Bridges, Archivists, and Diviners. As per the whitepaper, each component is defined below.\n\n1. A <b>Sentinel</b> is a heuristic witness that observes heuristics and vouches for the certainty and accuracy by producing temporal ledgers. Sentinels produce ledgers Diviners can be certain came from the same source when using “Proof of Origin” on the ledgers. \n\n2. A <b>Bridge</b> is a heuristic transcriber. The Bridge securely relays the heuristic ledgers from Sentinels to Diviners. Bridges add an additional “Proof of Origin” metadata so Diviners are sure that the heuristic ledgers weren’t altered in anyway. \n\n3. <b>Archivists</b> store heuristics as part of the decentralized data set with the goal of having all historical ledgers stored. Archivists allow the XYO Network to function if data is lost or is unavailable but with reduced accuracy.\n\n4. <b>Diviners</b> answer a given query by analyzing historical data that has been stored on the XYO Network. The heuristics stored on the XYO Network must have a high “Proof of Origin” to determine the accuracy and validity of the heuristic. XYO Network is a trustless system so Diviners must be incentivized to provide an honest analysis of heuristics. \n\n<b>Adoption</b>\n\nPotential adopters of the XYO Network are ecommerce corporations such as Amazon as they attempt to move towards more autonomous methods of delivery such as drones. XYO Network will allow these companies and their consumers to track packages of importance from its origin to its destination. The services industry, including companies such as Uber and Lyft are experimenting with self driving cars, so the XYO Network can help them keep a record of the location of their cars using the network. \n\n\n<b>Final Thoughts</b>\n\nXYO Network has a difficult task ahead to ensure they are able to implement their location based protocol. Over the years, location data has predominantly been provided by centralized sources of truth which make them susceptible to interference and vulnerable to attacks. As a result, these factors should help influence global adoption of the XYO Network as users would like to ensure their IOT enabled technology is secure at all times. The XYO Network ICO has been ongoing since March and will be wrapping up on May 20th. For additional information, check out their website at https://xyo.network/.",

This piece will focus on crypto-asset security and strategies to keep online hackers and thieves from accessing your valuable assets.  \n\nLet’s face it, securing your assets is probably one of the <i>least</i> sexy things to talk about in this ecosystem. With everyone looking for the next 100x investment or discussing the coin with the quickest transaction times and smallest fees, it’s easy for the security of your assets to be pushed by to the wayside. You (<i>yes you…the reader</i>) are your greatest defense when it comes to the security of your cryptocurrency. Our team has provided a list of suggestions for protecting your assets across a variety of storage solutions.\n\n<center>![safe.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmT6BM68k4UwA2q77agHNsYXoQ9BE8QjoviqUcwhfzWStm/safe.png)</center>\n<b>Exchanges</b>\n\nStoring your cryptocurrency on an exchange is probably the most unsafe method for storing your cryptocurrency. With exchanges, users don’t actually own their cryptocurrency or hold their private keys. You can think of storing your assets on an exchange as similar to holding fiat currency in the bank. The amount that shows in your account is virtually an IOU given to you by the bank or exchange. While banks have federal regulations in place to ensure your money doesn’t randomly disappear, the same can’t be said for cryptocurrency exchanges. There is a history of hacking, insolvency and glitches on cryptocurrency exchanges that allow users to lose their assets in the blink of an eye. The Mt. Gox saga immediately comes to mind here for experienced users of the space as 850,000 Bitcoin were stolen from the exchange from 2011-2014. Even more recently (January 2018), a Japanese exchange by the name of Coincheck had $500 million USD stolen from their digital safe.  \n\nWhile successful hacking attempts are rare on the top worldwide exchanges, there are still a variety of methods where hackers can socially engineer their way into your account. If you do decide to keep your funds on an exchange (<i>we don’t recommend this</i>), 2 Factor Authentication or 2FA is your best bet as it provides an additional layer of security where a code is needed that can only be acquired from an authorized phone on your account. We suggest using Google Authenticator or Authy for your 2FA needs. The SMS 2FA option is not recommended by our staff. Day traders in the space seem to have found a happy medium where they will have a majority of their funds stored away in a private wallet while keeping their funds specifically for trading on the exchange. As we move forward in the article, we can’t stress the following fact enough -- <b>YOU ARE YOUR GREATEST DEFENSE WHEN IT COMES TO THE SECURITY OF YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY</b>. \n\n<b>Cryptocurrency Wallets</b>\n\nWhile there is a slight learning curve when setting up a wallet of your own, you will have better peace of mind in knowing your cryptocurrency is secure. You can compare owning a paper wallet to being your own bank. You have total access to your funds and can do with them as you please, whenever you please. With your own wallet, you will now have access to your private keys, which give you total access to your account. As the name suggests, your private keys should remain private, should not be given to anyone under any circumstance and should also be stored in a safe and secure location. If your private keys go missing, unfortunately there is (<i>at this time</i>) no way to truly recover your funds. \n\nThere are a large variety of wallets available, whether it be a paper wallet, web wallet, or hardware wallet. Some wallets will hold one single type of cryptocurrency while others will hold a variety of cryptocurrencies, so it is best to research the wallet that fits the needs of your portfolio. For readers with an Ethereum and ERC-20 heavy portfolio, MyEtherWallet is one of the better client based web wallets available which is free of cost. For readers willing to spend a pretty penny or two, the Ledger Nano S is a safe and secure hardware wallet that supports a variety of popular cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens. \n\n<br>\nDue to the fact that cryptocurrency is a digital asset, hackers are always sure to be lurking to take advantage of inexperienced users in the space. It is recommended that our readers continue following the latest trends in the security of your funds. We are more than happy to provide additional insight if requested below in the comments section.<br> <br>Happy investing!\nSAvant Public Relations",

Yes, that’s a 55% rise. It seems the bears have been sent back into hibernation and the bulls are now able to roam free. While we aren’t expecting a swift rise to the $828.54B marketcap the community happily embraced in early January, we do expect increasing daily volumes, higher highs and higher lows for many of your favorite cryptocurrencies in the weeks and months to come.\nWe at <b>SAvant Public Relations</b> have compiled a quick <i>cheat sheet</i> of cryptocurrencies we are particularly bullish on for long term holds. The following article is not considered investment advice. As always, we ask our readers to remain diligent and “do your own research” when looking for coins/tokens to invest in. \n<br>\n\n<b>Origin Trail ($TRAC)\nCurrent Trading Price: $0.173393\nTrading Markets: KuCoin, Idex, HitBTC</b>\n\n<b>SAvant Analysis:</b> It should be no surprise Origin Trail tops our list of long term holds. The platform aims to disrupt the supply chain industry by offering authentic, scalable and cost-efficient data to be shared amongst others on the Origin Trail Decentralized Network. The blockchain layer of the network allows for other blockchains (think Vechain, Waltonchain and Wabi) to efficiently interact with each other to connect different types of supply chain based data. Consumers of Origin Trail labeled products will be able to easily identify where their product originated from and each step it took to reach its final destination. \n\nThis May, Origin Trail will release detailed information on the Trace Alliance, an ecosystem of businesses using the Origin Trail platform to increase the value and efficiency of their business. According to the Origin Trail team, “over 120 interested companies have received implementation instructions and started exploring integration possibilities”. Origin Trail CMO, Maja Voje has also announced there will be multiple partnerships announced in conjunction with the opening of the Trace Alliance website. The Origin Trail test network should be launching sometime in June while the main network will launch at a time TBD in Q3 2018. \n<br>\n\n<b>Apex ($CPX)\nCurrent Trading Price: $0.268060\nTrading Market: Switcheo Market</b>\n\n<b>SAvant Analysis:</b> The way consumer data is handled in today’s digital age is evolving at a rapid pace. Following the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal, users are slowly but surely becoming more concerned with how their personal data, interests and online tendencies are managed and handled by third party groups. The Apex team has designed a decentralized platform which allows each user to monetize and take control of his/her data while also building trust with outside businesses looking to use their data. \n\nIn addition to strong support from the NEO/Onchain team, Apex has listed partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (China), Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle Marketing Cloud. With these partnerships, Apex has been given unique ecommerce user data in exchange for deploying parts of their system onto the various cloud platforms.\n\nAs a word of advice for readers that plan to invest in Apex, we only recommend using the decentralized Switcheo Market. Lbank is another exchange that currently trades Apex but has had a large number of user complaints in a short period of time.\n<br>\n\n<b>Power Ledger ($POWR)\nCurrent Trading Price: $0.531155\nTrading Markets: Binance, Bittrex, Huobi</b>\n\n<b>SAvant Analysis:</b> The peer-to-peer marketplace for renewable energy has a place on our long term hold list as we are bullish on the concept, team and revealed partnerships. The (simply put) description of Power Ledger is individuals inside of a community will be able to trade their unused power to other individuals in that same community in exchange for payments in real-time. \n\nRecently, the Australian based Power Ledger team announced Japan’s second largest electric company (Kansai Electric Power Company) would be trialing POWR’s renewable energy trading in select areas in Osaka City. The real world utility of Power Ledger is sure to boost the coin’s performance in the global marketplace. Additionally, Power Ledger was named a finalist in Sir Richard Branson’s Extreme Tech Challenge and will be presenting the platform in front of the tech industry’s biggest names on Necker Island this October. \n<br>\n\n<b>Ethereum ($ETH)\nCurrent Trading Price: $648.95\nTrading Markets: Coinbase, Binance, Bittrex</b>\n\n<b>SAvant Analysis:</b> We know exactly what you’re thinking….Ethereum?! The number two marketcap cryptocurrency (and platform for seemingly everything) is still a gem at this price as development and adoption of the platform will not be slowing down anytime soon. Ethereum reached a high of $1,389.18 this past January and should easily hit the $1,000.00 milestone in the weeks and months to come. \n\nEthereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin has recently teased the community with “Sharding” which will increase the quantity of transactions per second on the Ethereum network. In addition, Ethereum continues to be the most popular platform for launching ICO’s (using ERC-20 tokens) and has a massive number of other entrepreneurs building infrastructure and applications for a more decentralized globe (ConsenSys would be the best example here). Fill up your portfolio with ETH as soon as possible while the price is still right!\n<br><br>\n<i>For more in-depth analysis and information, be sure to check out the SAvant Public Relations twitter account: @SAvant__PR</i>",

The long awaited “Crypto Spring” might finally be here after a brutal tail end of the Winter season. For those of you who are new to the volatile cryptocurrency world, “Crypto Spring” is a time (usually towards the beginning of Spring) where both Bitcoin and Altcoins tend to make tremendous gains over a prolonged series of time. \n\nAt this point last year, the popular cryptocurrency <b>NEO</b> (then Antshares) was trading at a mere $0.18. Two months later, and the price of NEO had skyrocketed to $9.08. By the time the dog days of August had rolled around, the price per 1 NEO had risen to nearly $50.00. For those of you at home who are not exactly Math wizards, that’s a gain of 27,700%! Combine that with the staking feature of NEO to generate GAS (formerly Antcoins) and passive income would have been coming in from every direction. Not too shabby of an investment, huh?\n\nIn addition to NEO, many of the popular cryptocurrencies including<b> Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and Ripple</b> also experienced tremendous growth that generated a large amount of profit for early investors. While we do not aspire to burst any bubbles, there is a bit of caution to take as we prepare to enter our next bullrun. We at SAvant Public Relations have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve great success in the weeks and months to come. We have cultivated a small list below for your crypto journey. As a precaution, the information shared here is <i>not intended as actual financial advice</i>. We always advise investors to take the research into their own hands as they delve into new and exciting cryptocurrencies. Here we go….\n\n(1)\tFirst things first, <b>only invest what you are willing to lose</b>. Cryptocurrency is very much a speculative asset at this time. Your investment portfolio could go to zero tomorrow as a result of a revealed scam, failed partnership, exchange delisting or anything else you may be able to think of ( Bitconnect immediately comes to mind). It would not be a wise decision to dump your entire savings account or retirement fund into cryptocurrency. \n\n(2)\t<b>Research is key</b> when selecting cryptocurrencies for your portfolio. From our perspective in the industry, you must ask yourself the following when assessing a project: What does this cryptocurrency do that is unique to the market and the world beyond the blockchain? \nWho are the team members behind this cryptocurrency? (Linkedin profiles are usually very helpful in this case)—do they have previous experience in their field of choice? \nHow does the community react to the cryptocurrency….are there insightful conversations to be had on reddit/telegram/discord or is everyone dreaming of lambos? \nLastly, how does the team deliver information to the public –--  is there constant communication? do their tweets/posts feel scammy simply to boost the price?\n\n(3)\t<b>Avoid Pump and Dumps (Pnd) and tread carefully with Cryptocurrency Influencers</b>. The last thing you want after a <i>“cant miss”</i> call is to have the cryptocurrency’s price decline shortly after your investment has been made. Simply aiming for the top percentage gainers on coinmarketcap each day is a quick way to find yourself with bags of cryptocurrencies having poor use cases. You should tread carefully with cryptocurrency influencers (Hi John McAfee and Ian Balina!). McAfee has revealed that he asks for a hefty fee for each cryptocurrency he endorses, sometimes regardless of whether it is a legitimate project or not. Balina constantly mentions he is not a paid shill, but many around the crypto community question his intent and ethics.\n\n(4)\t<b>Looking at your portfolio on your Delta or Blockfolio app every 10 minutes will make you go crazy</b>. This is a very volatile space with good days and less than ideal days. Instead of the constant checking, you can continue to educate yourself on the latest trends, exercise and maybe even finish that growing list of tasks at your day job. Your wellness should always remain a high priority regardless of which direction your portfolio is trending.  \n\n(5)\tLast but certainly not least, keep it locked on <b>SAvant Public Relations</b> (twitter: @SAvant__PR) for all the latest happenings in the blockchain and cryptocurrency world. We wish for our followers to be some of the most educated, informed and wealthy individuals in this investment space. Enjoy the bullrun everyone!\n<center>![SAvant PR 3rd party logo.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd6KAMX4gguadTGyGPUcctrT1eTReUmPSw56HgPsBvEW9/SAvant%20PR%203rd%20party%20logo.png)</center>",

While there has been a variety of factors contributing to Bitcoin's (and the general crypto market) marketcap decline, recent reports have led many to believe Mt. Gox (yes, the same Mt. Gox exchange hacked back in 2014 ) is the primary culprit. \n\nRecent reports reveal Mt. Gox trustee **Nobuaki Kobayashi** market sold ~$400,000,000 USD worth of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash between December 2017 and February 2018 to credit investors who lost their funds during the original hack in 2014.  Understandably so, a plethora of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are enraged to learn one individual has the centralized power to control the markets for *months* at a time. Kobayashi still holds 166,344.35827254 BTC at the time of this article. \n\n![gox.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZqXW59QVgwYvk3K9fP1bGCSjXa5VFAUaoBYpHoLVZ6Ag/gox.jpg)\n*Mt. Gox Sell Points - Credit: reddit.com/r/cryptocurrency*\n\nWhile **SAvant Public Relations** fully supports the release of funds back to their rightful owners, we do recommend an alternative method rather than market selling on exchanges. For this specific situation, an **Over the Counter** (OTC) sell or an **auction** would be largely beneficial for the general health of the market as the digital currencies sold would not drive the market in an immediate downward spiral. In these two instances, the original individuals who invested funds their funds in Mt. Gox would either receive their money, or BTC/BCH back and the market can function as it normally would. \n\nWhile many investors are delighted to obtain top crytocurrencies at bargain prices, the liquidation process that has been ongoing over the last couple of months needs to end immediately. We certainly hope Mr. Kobayashi can do the right thing moving forward.\n\n\n\n**For additional up to the minute information on the ongoing Mt. Gox saga, Please visit our twitter at: www.twitter.com/savant__pr**",

The professionals at **SAvant Public Relations** (twitter.com/SAvant__PR) have put together a detailed guide (above) for investors of all levels and backgrounds to create a diversified and well rounded cryptocurrency portfolio of their own. \n\nAs an update to our graphic from December, we have added another suggestion for your portfolio. Please see below. \n\n**Origin Trail (TRAC)** - Origin Trail plans to shake up the supply chain industry by increasing the transparency and traceability of products from their origin to their end destination. The most interesting fact about Origin Trail is that it is a protocol, meaning it can connect other supply chain cryptocurrencies (think Vechain, Wabi, Waltonchain) under one roof rather than compete against them. Origin Trail is an already established product, having been around for 4 years and is currently tackling the food and wine industries with their innovative technology. Origin Trail is currently considered a \"Moon Mission\" and can only be found on the following decentalized exchanges:  Etherdelta, Forkdelta, and Idex.  \n\n*As a disclaimer, although these picks are sure to boost your portfolio value through the roof, this is not financial advice and users should be cautious when investing their funds into the very volatile cryptocurrency market.*",

As of March 5th, 2018, Origin Trail is trading on Etherdelta, Forkdelta and Idex*\n\nLaunching its presale on January 15th and public token sale on January 29th, Origin Trail is the first purpose-built protocol enabling blockchain supported data sharing in supply chains. With large and complex supply chains susceptible to high costs, delays and fraud, Origin Trail aims to bring transparency, reliability, accountability, compliance and efficiency to supply chain management using the power of the blockchain. \n\nOrigin Trail protocol runs on an off-chain decentralized peer to peer network called the “Origin Trail Decentralized Network” (ODN). Users are able to negotiate services, transfer, process and retrieve data, and verify its’ integrity/availability. This network will minimize the amount of data on the blockchain, which will in turn reduce the associated costs and inefficiency. \nThe first focus of the Origin Trail team is the food industry. With an increasing number of consumers worldwide holding ill-will towards food companies and manufacturers, the ODN will provide trust, transparency and accountability to allow for peace of mind. Recently, Origin Trail was awarded Walmart’s Food Safety Innovation Spark Award and was admitted into its inaugural Innovation Program.  \n\nI strongly believe Origin Trail will disrupt the archaic supply chain management industry for the better. As always, do your own research regarding the technology, the team and the token sale. I'll provide a link below to their website. Their telegram is also full of useful information regarding the project and the team. You will not be disappointed. \n\nhttps://origintrail.io/\n\n**For more information on Origin Trail and other top cryptocurrencies, please visit our twitter profile at:\ntwitter.com/SAvant__PR",

The coin is commonly referred to as “The Ethereum of China” among cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts as a result of its unique platform features including the ability to create decentralized apps (dapps) and ICO’s, the aforementioned smart contract support, and ease of use for coding & development purposes.\n\nThe digital currency’s Proof of Stake rewards investors with “GAS” (the fuel of the network) for simply holding onto NEO in an approved wallet. The earned GAS can be traded on supported exchanges as any other cryptocurrency would. See below for additional information on the Chinese-based digital currency.\n\n**Purchase & Storage of NEO**\n\nWith respect to the features explained above, NEO is one of the more popular cryptocurrencies among investors and traders and can be found at a large quantity of digital currency exchanges worldwide. At the moment, there are few NEO-FIAT pairings, meaning users will first have to purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum as an intermediary to then trade for NEO. As both centralized and decentralized exchanges continue to grow and expand their capabilities, additional fiat pairings are to be expected for the high marketcap coin. \n\nInvestors are able to store their NEO in hardware, desktop and web wallets. When storing NEO, users are strongly suggested to select a wallet that allows GAS to be claimed as an added incentive and bonus. The NEO developer community, known as the “City of Zion” have created the desktop based NEON wallet which allows users to trade both NEO and GAS and is often given praise for its’ features, continued development, and ease of use. \n\n**Future Outlook**\n\nSimply put, the future of NEO is as bright as any other cryptocurrency out at the moment. NEO’s Shanghai-based sister company, Onchain are globally renowned for their work in Research & Development of blockchain solutions for businesses. In 2016 and 2017, Onchain was recognized on KPMG’s list of the top Fintech companies in China. Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang are founders of both NEO and Onchain and continue to play pivotal roles in the progression of both companies. \n\nNEO’s open source developer community, City of Zion are a group of independent individuals who have created exemplary projects for NEO including the NEON wallet, NEOScan, and important documentation to assist with NEO’s continued worldwide growth. In some instances, the NEO team will donate funds to the City of Zion team as a reward for their collective efforts. Both the NEO and City of Zion communities maintain communication among a number of social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Slack, and Medium. \n\nThe coin’s competitors in the crypto-community include Ethereum, EOS, Icon and Tron, which all have a similar concept and whitepaper to that of NEO. Outside of the digital currency world, one potentially major threat to NEO includes the Chinese government. Over the past couple of years, China’s volatile stance on cryptocurrency has left many puzzled and questioning the future. China has recently tightened regulations on outside exchanges and overseas transactions as the government believes they are of very high risk. \n\nThe facts should speak for themselves with NEO. It is a well-developed coin with an impressive team, an overwhelming amount of community support and a roadmap for success. Since NEO’s inception, there has been a number of outside user groups that have launched their own coins on the NEO blockchain citing ease of use with development. It’s time for NEO to “Enter the Matrix”.",
