      "title": "SingularityNET: Connecting Artificial Intelligence Using Blockchain Technology",
      "body": "https://vimeo.com/248331801\n(https://singularitynet.io/)\n\n**SingularityNET**\n\nSingularityNET is a protocol which aims to combine AI and blockchain technology to enable AIs to exchange data with one another. According to their whitepaper, *\"SingularityNET is an open-source protocol and collection of smart contracts for a decentralized market of coordinated AI services.\"* (https://public.singularitynet.io/whitepaper.pdf). The goal of the protocol is to create a decentralized economy where the AGI Token could be exchanged for AI services. This would put the power of AI into the hands of everyone rather than a government, corporation, or a few wealthy individuals. This project was started by world leaders in AI research: Dr. Ben Goertzel (CEO and founder) and Dr. Robert Hanson (CEO and founder of Hanson Robotics). Dr. Goertzel's vision for this project is as follows: *\"an open platform in which any AI developer on the planet can install their software, enabling it to reach any AI user on the planet. A platform in which AIs carrying out specific functions can work together seamlessly, helping diverse users in various ways and coordinating together into AI networks of increasingly general intelligence.\"* (https://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77).\n\n**AGI Token**\n\n The AGI Token allows for a decentralized economy to exist while enabling the quantification of the value of various AI services. The AGI token influences actors within the economy to promote the best AI services by rewarding the actors who promote these successful AI services with AGI tokens. This allows everyone within the network to benefit from the best AI services being pushed to the top. According to the SingularityNET website, *\"The AGI token lets anyone transact AI services globally, without censorship or exclusion.\"* (https://singularitynet.io/). This will let everyone around the globe benefit from revolutionary AI services that are created and result in significant increases in quality of life. The initial token sale for the AGI tokens has just recently come to an end.\n\n**Growth Potential In The Market**\n\nWe've seen the market cap for cryptocurrencies recently surpass the $800 billion mark and quickly heading towards $1 trillion. The realization of the potential of blockchain technology to transform every industry is a major driver in the recent growth of the cryptocurrency market. Alongside blockchain, the AI industry is also predicted to experience exponential growth in the coming years. *\"Over the next decade, Tractica Research projects the AI industry to grow by 5,700%\"* (https://singularitynet.io/). Even if SingularityNET is just partially successful in achieving the goals the creators set out, there will be massive value behind this project. Not just speculative monetary value as we see in the current cryptocurrency market, but significant value created for the collective benefit of society.\n\n**The Importance of Decentralizing AI**\n\nAdvancements in AI technology and capabilities will undoubtedly generate significant value to society and increase overall quality of life. The question then becomes not whether or not AI will be beneficial, but who will benefit from AI. SingularityNET aims to put the power of AI into the hands of everyone around the world instead of an elite few. As Vladimir Putin understands, *\"Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.\"* (https://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77). SingularityNET allows everyone to control AI and the direction it will go through democracy in a decentralized network. In a podcast episode of *Blockchain Innovation* hosted by Frederick Munawa, Dr. Goertzel explains how AI will help shape the future of humanity. He believes the future should be decided by humanity as a whole rather than a few select individuals. (http://blockchain.global/blockchain-innovation/).\n\n**Sources**\n\nhttps://singularitynet.io/\nhttps://public.singularitynet.io/whitepaper.pdf\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/exploring-the-utility-of-singularitynets-agi-token-2006639ccd40\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/how-decentralized-ai-can-change-the-lives-of-millions-4ac76da2aafe\nhttp://blockchain.global/blockchain-innovation/\n\n*Disclaimer: This is strictly my opinion.

      "body": "https://vimeo.com/248331801\n(https://singularitynet.io/)\n\n**SingularityNET**\n\nSingularityNET is a protocol which aims to combine AI and blockchain technology to enable AIs to exchange data with one another. According to their whitepaper, *\"SingularityNET is an open-source protocol and collection of smart contracts for a decentralized market of coordinated AI services.\"* (https://public.singularitynet.io/whitepaper.pdf). The goal of the protocol is to create a decentralized economy where the AGI Token could be exchanged for AI services. This would put the power of AI into the hands of everyone rather than a government, corporation, or a few wealthy individuals. This project was started by world leaders in AI research: Dr. Ben Goertzel (CEO and founder) and Dr. Robert Hanson (CEO and founder of Hanson Robotics). Dr. Goertzel's vision for this project is as follows: *\"an open platform in which any AI developer on the planet can install their software, enabling it to reach any AI user on the planet. A platform in which AIs carrying out specific functions can work together seamlessly, helping diverse users in various ways and coordinating together into AI networks of increasingly general intelligence.\"* (https://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77).\n\n**AGI Token**\n\n The AGI Token allows for a decentralized economy to exist while enabling the quantification of the value of various AI services. The AGI token influences actors within the economy to promote the best AI services by rewarding the actors who promote these successful AI services with AGI tokens. This allows everyone within the network to benefit from the best AI services being pushed to the top. According to the SingularityNET website, *\"The AGI token lets anyone transact AI services globally, without censorship or exclusion.\"* (https://singularitynet.io/). This will let everyone around the globe benefit from revolutionary AI services that are created and result in significant increases in quality of life. The initial token sale for the AGI tokens has just recently come to an end.\n\n**Growth Potential In The Market**\n\nWe've seen the market cap for cryptocurrencies recently surpass the $800 billion mark and quickly heading towards $1 trillion. The realization of the potential of blockchain technology to transform every industry is a major driver in the recent growth of the cryptocurrency market. Alongside blockchain, the AI industry is also predicted to experience exponential growth in the coming years. *\"Over the next decade, Tractica Research projects the AI industry to grow by 5,700%\"* (https://singularitynet.io/). Even if SingularityNET is just partially successful in achieving the goals the creators set out, there will be massive value behind this project. Not just speculative monetary value as we see in the current cryptocurrency market, but significant value created for the collective benefit of society.\n\n**The Importance of Decentralizing AI**\n\nAdvancements in AI technology and capabilities will undoubtedly generate significant value to society and increase overall quality of life. The question then becomes not whether or not AI will be beneficial, but who will benefit from AI. SingularityNET aims to put the power of AI into the hands of everyone around the world instead of an elite few. As Vladimir Putin understands, *\"Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.\"* (https://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77). SingularityNET allows everyone to control AI and the direction it will go through democracy in a decentralized network. In a podcast episode of *Blockchain Innovation* hosted by Frederick Munawa, Dr. Goertzel explains how AI will help shape the future of humanity. He believes the future should be decided by humanity as a whole rather than a few select individuals. (http://blockchain.global/blockchain-innovation/).\n\n**Sources**\n\nhttps://singularitynet.io/\nhttps://public.singularitynet.io/whitepaper.pdf\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/how-the-future-of-ai-will-be-owned-by-all-d9751e08df77\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/exploring-the-utility-of-singularitynets-agi-token-2006639ccd40\nhttps://blog.singularitynet.io/how-decentralized-ai-can-change-the-lives-of-millions-4ac76da2aafe\nhttp://blockchain.global/blockchain-innovation/\n\n*Disclaimer: This is strictly my opinion.

      "title": "Why Are Cheap Cryptocurrencies Booming?",
      "body": "**The Rise of Cheap Cryptocurrencies**\n\nWe have seen unprecedented rises in the cryptocurrency market as a whole the last few days. More specifically, cryptocurrency coins with a lower cost per coin in the top 20 have seen greater gains than the rest of the market. Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), NEM (XEM), Stellar (XLM), and TRON (TRX) have all seen monumental gains this last week (12/28/17 - 1/4/18). XRP has increased from $1.43 to $3.59 (151% increase), ADA has gone from $.39 to $1.17 (200% increase), XEM went from $.9 to $1.74 (93% increase), XLM went from $.21 to $.80 (281% increase), and TRX has gone from $.03 to $.19 (533% increase). All of these coins are now in the top 10 for highest market cap on coinmarketcap.com. Most of these prodigious jumps have come in the latter half of the week, post New Year’s. While other coins in the top 10 such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have also realized gains after the holidays, they haven’t increased nearly as fast and as significantly as the aforementioned coins (Bitcoin has increased by a meekly 3.5% and Ethereum by 40%). What has caused cheap cryptos to rise past their more expensive counterparts?\n\n**Emotional Investing**\n\nThese 5 coins all share the commonality of currently being under $4 each (however maybe not for very long). XRP is the most expensive currently at $3.59 while TRX is the cheapest at $.19. Since these coins are not similar to fiat coins in the sense that they can be divided and exchanged accordingly, why would the seemingly irrelevant price per coin matter? To a rational thinker, the price per coin shouldn’t matter. Factors such as the use cases of the coin, the developers/team behind the coin, the volume and market cap of the coin are examples of significant factors that a logical thinker would consider much more important than the price per coin. So then why have these select coins that all have low prices per coin flourished recently? The answer is simple: most humans do not invest rationally. Ideally someone would invest completely independent of their emotions and biases however this is rarely the case. Our emotions and biases get in the way of rational and logical behavior. Rational behavior in the case of cryptocurrencies simply means that you invest in a way that you believe will maximize your net benefits based on research and facts. However, in reality people rarely are able to shut off their emotions and biases and make decisions without at least consciously or subconsciously consulting their subjective side. \n\n**Human Behavior Towards Low Price Coins**\n\nConsider the following question: which is more appealing, acquiring 10,000 of crypto coin A or .01 of crypto coin B. The logical thinker would ask what the values of the coins are before answering. If coin A is worth $.0002 and coin b is worth $200, then acquiring 10,000 of coin A would equal $2, while .01 of coin B would also equal $2. Therefore the logical thinker is indifferent to acquiring 10,000 of coin A or .01 of coin B, both increase the wealth of the individual equally. However, people rarely act purely rationally and logically even with their finances where rational behavior is consistently the most rewarded. The bias that is repeatedly emphasizing itself in the crypto markets is that people prefer having larger amounts of whole coins than fractions of a coin. It is much more satisfying to tell someone who knows nothing about cryptocurrencies that you own 1,000 TRX than telling them you own .3 BTC, even though the .3 BTC is currently worth much more. It is also more satisfying to look at your virtual wallet and see you have 100,000 of a coin rather than .001. You may be thinking that you or other crypto investors you know would never behave this way and never invest solely on the price per coin at any given time. You also may be completely right in this assumption. However, we would not expect crypto veterans to behave this way, this behavior and the recent surge of cheap cryptos might be more indicative of a wave of new, inexperienced investors entering the market. \n\n**New Year New Investors**\n\nThe majority of the surges in the aforementioned coins occurred after the holiday season. During the holidays, people get together with their families, celebrate, and most importantly have discussions (one potential topic could have been the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market). After the holidays, some of the temporary financial burden that goes along with the holidays is relieved. This can free up funds for individuals to invest, save, or spend the money on something other than gifts . It’s a perfect time to invest for individuals who received money or have become recently relieved of temporary financial strain. Cryptocurrencies and their rapid growth have been all over the mainstream news and there has likely been a great increase in interest and discussion as a result. These are some factors that could potentially explain the rapid increase in the cryptocurrency market cap over the last week ($566 billion to $770 billion). Certainly part of the market cap increase is from veteran investors and business as usual activity. But the recent growth has to be partly attributed to the increase in news coverage of cryptocurrencies and the time of the year. Both of these factors lead to new investors entering the market and could be behind the cheap crypto rise. The significance of new investors is that they have a lack of knowledge regarding the market and as a result are less likely to invest rationally.\n\n**New Investors Behave Illogically**\n\nWith this wave of new investors entering the market, we have seen cheap cryptocurrencies in the top 20 thrive. The majority of new investors do not have the experience or the knowledge to invest intelligently and rationally. Newcomers are likely trying to get in on the massive growth that cryptocurrencies have experienced in 2017 and hope it will continue throughout 2018. Since most new investors do not know how to properly research and judge different cryptocurrencies, they invest based on easily accessible information that they can understand (some jargon such as smart contracts, PoS/PoW, or even hodl is likely to confuse new investors). Some of the most readily available information to them is the price of a coin and the rank in terms of market cap. With the lack of knowledge a new investor faces, they evidently invest by letting irrational behavior overtake them through their emotions (fear of missing out on the cryptocurrency boom) or with their biases (buying more of a cheap coin over a expensive coin purely based on price). One may wonder why all cheap cryptos haven’t seen the same gain as the 5 previously mentioned cryptos. This may be due to the fact that people are more trusting of cryptos with a higher market cap as they are more popular and have more money invested in them. However, investing in a coin because other people are also doing it is another irrational behavior that is common with new investors. While many of the coins with the highest market caps are deservedly above others, investing solely on the rank of a coins market cap is not rational.\n\n**To Conclude**\n\nTraditional economic theory would have us believe that people behave rationally in order to maximize their own net benefits. This idea has been recently challenged through the emerging field of behavioral economics which aims to combine psychology and economics in order to better understand human behavior. Leading behavioral economists such as Richard Thaler (2017 Nobel Prize in Economics) claim that humans often act irrationally in terms of maximizing their own well being. This phenomenon is exemplified in the youthful cryptocurrency market. New investors are entering the growing market at an increasing rate and are adding to the extreme volatility of the market. The recent growth of the top ranked, cheap cryptocurrencies can be partially attributed to the influx of new investors and their irrational investment behavior. This is by no means a claim that these cryptocurrencies are poor investments, rather an attempt to outline part of why this extraordinary growth has taken place over the last few days. Instead of telling new or potential investors what cryptocurrencies they should be investing in, the community needs to highlight the importance of individual research and responsibility. A more rational cryptocurrency market will enable the rational investor to benefit from logical decision making to an even greater extent.\n\nI appreciate you taking the time to read my article and I truly hope you have a marvelous day!\n- Shane McCabe\n\n\n\n**Sources**\nhttps://coinmarketcap.com/\n\"Misbehaving\" by Richard Thaler (strongly recommend you read this book if you are interested in economics, psychology, market behavior, etc.)\n\n\n\n**Side Note** \nThis is my first article posted to Steemit.

My newfound interest in cryptocurrencies brought me to this awesome website and I'm really looking forward to my time here. My interests include cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, economics, behavioral economics, baseball, powerlifting, League of Legends, camping/backpacking, and anything related to the environment/outdoors! I intend to create articles/posts relating to these interests but mostly based around cryptocurrencies and behavioral economics. If you're interested in any of those things or just want to talk please message me or leave a comment! I'm going to post an article I wrote about the recent surge in cheap cryptocurrencies so if that sounds like something you would be interested in be on the lookout for it shortly! I hope you all have a marvelous day.\n\n- Shane\n\n\n\n\n\n![Steemit photo.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdZxYZhbeUw1C9uYpZmfcyheWbbJ4tL4GgECnsgURk9pK/Steemit%20photo.jpg)",
