According to a study released by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis entitled “A Lost Generation”, millennials will never be able to recover from the Great Recession and the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed stated that families headed by someone born in the 1980s have net worths that are 34 percent lower than expected. The report read: We found that typical families headed by someone born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s were significantly below their wealth benchmark levels in 2016—by about 11, 18 and 34 percent, respectively. Despite also having suffered wealth losses during the recession, typical families headed by someone born in
Happy 20th week of 2018! At the beginning of the year, I wrote an article outlining a New Year’s resolution that I thought could help boost cryptocurrency adoption and awareness in 2018, as long as enough people were doing it. Last week was the nineteenth installment of my challenge. It’s been a slower week than usual, unfortunately, but let’s dive into it anyway. TRY TO SPEAK TO AS MANY PEOPLE ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN I didn’t end up going out too much this past week, so my in-person conversations involving cryptocurrency were a bit limited compared to other weeks.
With no positive momentum across the cryptocurrency markets to speak of, it seems evident this flash sale will continue for some time to come. The Bitcoin Cash price, for example, has dipped below $1,000 for the second time in a few days. This seemingly confirms there are growing concerns regarding the long-term future of this project. Bitcoin Cash Price Struggles are Very Real Anyone who has kept an eye on the Bitcoin Cash price this week may have noticed an interesting trend. Despite a somewhat steady price level throughout most of 2018, things have taken a dire turn since this
Earlier this month, Bitgrail’s principal Franceso Firano attempted to reopen the Italian cryptocurrency exchange after $170 million in losses and during their legal sorting out. An inside job or software hack, that hasn’t had an official determination, and fingers are still pointing between the exchange’s charismatic operator and crypto devs. International heavy law firm Bonelli […]
Not much has changed in favor of the cryptocurrencies over the past 24 hours. Every minor gain made yesterday has effectively been turned into a net loss once again. All currencies continue to follow the Bitcoin price in this regard, as BTC struggles to remain above $7,300. Bitcoin Price Dip Isn’t Over yet It is evident there is still plenty of negative pressure on all of the cryptocurrency markets today. This is all tightly correlated to how manipulators and speculators continue to push the Bitcoin price down for quite some time now. It is not necessarily a good thing by
There’s a new card game called ‘Bitcon’ that’s been introduced on Kickstarter that allows people to experience the cryptocurrency investment fever for amusement and laughs. The strategy game was created by two cryptocurrency investors who were tired of hearing about people doing unbelievable things like selling their home or using their student loan money to […]
Even though a lot of people are still shocked that Pornhub actually took the plunge on Verge, it seems that decision may come back to bite the company. Due to the ongoing attacks against the Verge network, Pornhub and its cohorts are at risk of seeing transactions reversed or spoofed. It is a very big problem and an example of why solid technology should always be the foundation of any payment method. Pornhub and Verge Have Issues While one has to commend an entity such as Pornhub for accepting cryptocurrency payments, the decision to go with Verge still raises a lot
In the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, interesting projects can be found on a regular basis. CryptoKitties has received a lot of attention, in part because the project raised $1 million. However, it appears a lawsuit may be coming the way of the CryptoKitties team. This is due to an alleged violation of a nondisclosure agreement. A Major Concern for CryptoKitties? While no one will deny the success CryptoKitties has seen over the past few months, it seems not everything is going the team’s way right now. Generating a lot of buzz and raising money in the process is only one part of
Internet censorship has become a major problem over the past few years. Despite more and more people getting connected to the internet, it is still nearly impossible to access most information without encountering some form of restriction. As such, users often have to rely on third-party services, including VPNs, smartDNS solutions, and specialized browsers. Pornhub is now making its mark on the VPN industry. Why Does Pornhub Now Offer a VPN? On paper, the last thing anyone expected from Pornhub was to see the company develop its own way of bypassing internet censorship to make online information accessible. Even so, Pornhub
