DALLAS, TX – Richard Jacobs is the best-selling author of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain, and organizer of the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Super Conference, which takes place in February 2018. Every morning since Christmas Day, through his private “Crypto Christmas” podcast, he has revealed another “alternative” cryptocurrency that is poised to go big in 2018. However, on Saturday January 6th, in just over three days, these podcast episodes will be taken down forever.

It seems there will be a major influx of new Ethereum-based investment opportunities/semi-Ponzi schemes very soon. Following CryptoKitties and EtherTanks, we now have a new browser-based game called EtherRacing. All three concepts are virtually the same, although the gamification element is certainly a nice touch. Whether or not people will keep investing in projects like these remains to be determined, though. After all, people will quickly lose interest as more of these “opportunities” arise. EtherRacing Sells Virtual Racing Cars for Ether People who are familiar with the concept of CryptoKitties will immediately understand how EtherRacing works. The concept is very similar, as interested parties can purchase
This day might be remembered in the history books as a major milestone for cryptocurrency diversification or as another colossal indicator of the altcoin bubble. There are now three cryptocurrencies with over a $100 billion market cap each. Bitcoin, ethereum (ETH) and ripple (XRP) are worth today a combined total of about half a trillion […]
In the world of cryptocurrency, hard forks are seemingly the new altcoins. More specifically, a lot of developers want to hard fork existing currencies rather than build their own coins from scratch. In the case of Ethereum, one of those hard forks was known as EtherZero. However, this fork has been canceled due to a “lack of community support and big trading platforms”. It’s a very interesting decision, although few people will mind that the fork will not happen after all. EtherZero hard Fork is Canceled It is evident that Bitcoin was subject to quite a few hard fork attempts in 2017.

Today, there are close to 1,500 active cryptocurrencies, and that number continues to grow each day. Ultimately, it is best to understand as many of them as possible. Of course, a good place from which to start researching is the very top. Here is a brief overview of what each of the top ten cryptocurrencies has to offer: Bitcoin (BTC) Created as a response to the global financial crisis in 2008, Bitcoin is the grandfather of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was created as a method of transferring wealth and power from financial institutions and governments to individuals. Bitcoin seeks to provide this autonomy with a decentralized
Near the end of 2017, the cryptocurrency world was treated to a project known as CryptoKitties. Issuing unique virtual cats on the Ethereum blockchain proved to be a pretty interesting concept. Sadly, it also crippled the network for several days, but that was only to be expected. Ethertanks is a similar project with a slightly different approach, as it is more of a game than an investment. Ethertanks is the Next big Thing Although the Ethereum network is still recovering from the onslaught brought upon it by the CryptoKitties, people are already moving onto the next thing. It is evident that gamifying blockchain technology
It’s alt season, y’all. Since the Christmas Crash took place back on December 22, Bitcoin has struggled to regain its former prominence. Crypto’s flagship coin has sputtered in price and lost a significant chunk of its market share, all while the rest of the market has continued a healthy growth pattern after the pre-Christmas dip. Ringing in the New Year on a High Note It’s not very often that you see Bitcoin stagnate while the rest of the market is going up. Not even a month ago, analysts were making starry-eyed speculations about Bitcoin’s future, many confident in a US$15,000 valuation by year’s end.
The second day of the new year sees cryptocurrency markets come back after another holiday slump over the past few days. Bitcoin core markets are up 4 percent, averaging between $14,600-14,800 across global exchanges.
