Bitcoin Emoji Has Just Revealed

By News & more No Comments

The big news is that you can now use Bitcoin emoji in your tweets. Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted the newly added Bitcoin emoji on Feb. 2 and showed how we can use it.

Dorsey’s tweet showed that, now, whenever a Twitter user writes the Bitcoin or BTC hashtag, an image showing its symbol appears next to it. His tweet also tags Unicode, possibly pushing them to introduce an emoji that can be used across all web platforms. Unicode has supported the Bitcoin symbol as one of its currency signs since 2017. But there is currently no emoji version, meaning the symbol only appears as a black and white glyph, and not in the orange it is frequently portrayed in.

The most popular symbol used for Bitcoin is exactly ₿ – a capital letter B with two vertical strokes at the top and bottom, as introduced by BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto. After Twitter added the emoji to its platform, many cryptocurrency personalities test-tweeted it, including Tron (TRX) founder and Bittorrent CEO Justin Sun.

On our blog, you can read a very interesting story about one lottery winner invested half in Bitcoin. However, you have to know that BTC is the most used cryptocurrency at bet safe and Casino Brango. What you would do with this information? Nothing but playing over 200 RTG games and try to win big.

Blockchain Skills in High Demand As Blockchain Phenomenon Spreads

By News & more No Comments

Blockchain is here and has apparently caught roots in our society. There are many industries that have changed deeply with introduction of blockchain. Still, not many people know exactly how it works, but ultimately it does not matter. One thing is for sure: blockchain enables for various online activities to perform quickly, safely, at low cost. Therefore, it is no wonder this fin tech has gained many supporters worldwide. Expansion of blockchain and demand in blockchain skills is a reality.

How Widespread Blockchain Is Today?

The predictions are that people with blockchain skills will be able to choose jobs in a very near future, as blockchain is in high demand. Wherever there is a need for fast transactions of any kind, or for tracking the origins of goods or documents, for example, blockchain can step in.

Nowadays, we have food on blockchain, as well as luxury goods, clothes, entire supply chains in different industries, archives, university certificates, health care docs – just to name a few.

What Did US Companies Had to Say About Blockchain Skills and Its Use?

In 2019, the company Deloitte has conducted a global blockchain research among 1,386 senior executives from the following countries: Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Luxembourg, Singapore, Switzerland, UAE, UK, USA. When it comes to the US research, Deloitte surveyed the executives from companies of $500 million or more annual revenue.

The goal of the research was to establish the extent to which blockchain is used, as well as future trends. Amazingly, 53% of respondents stated that blockchain has become a critical priority for their organizations in 2019. These respondents marked blockchain as one of the top 5 priorities for their businesses. Furthermore, they noted the increase in blockchain use amounting to 10%.

Interestingly, as much as 83% of respondents saw compelling use cases for blockchain.

Future Predictions

In order to function, experts say that more and more businesses will need to switch their processes to blockchain. In order to do that, companies will have to hire people with proven skills in blockchain. Hence, predictions about the growing demand in blockchain skills.

The number of job postings relating to blockchain skills is increasing daily, as blockchain sees what they call “maturing”. We can only assume how competitive conditions they offer.

US Tech Hubs did research into the most in-demand blockchain skills nowadays. Apparently, software engineering is the most popular branch, with 44% share. It is followed by marketing, operations and finance. As for software engineering, the most sought-after fields are front end (24%), JavaScript (13%), Java (13%), Goland (7%).

Gaining Blockchain Skills Through Education

On the other hand, in order to produce professionals in any industry, the government and universities need to secure proper training. There have been many universities worldwide that reportedly started performing courses and training in latest fin tech, blockchain included. The estimates are that nearly half of the universities worldwide included blockchain training.

When it comes to the situation in the US, we found references to the following universities: Stanford, University of California, New York University, MIT, Cornell University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, Duke University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania.

Do you think blockchain training will eventually be introduced to schools?

Cryptos That Marked 2019

By News & more No Comments

Cryptos and blockchain have certainly marked 2019. Digital revolution has definitely started to transform our world. Although blockchain has found wide application in many industries, cryptos have taken the central role and continue to make the world go around. Apart from Bitcoin, these are some of the cryptos that marked 2019.

Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is closely related to Bitcoin. It is actually a Bitcoin’s fork. Bitcoin Cash is on a list of cryptos that marked 2019 due to its strong start and endurance throughout the year and the expansion of Simple Ledge Protocol (SLP).

At the beginning of 2019, Bitcoin Cash had the price of $135 and quickly moved up to $300 in April 2019. Moreover, it continued to grow and in August finally reached its peak of $480. BCH proved to be able to maintain relatively solid stability as it kept its price above $300 until recently. At the moment of writing of this text BCH has the price of $187.73.

If we take a look at BCH/USD pair trading in the past year, we will see the increase of more than 30%, which is quite good.

As for the SLP, the records show that app. 6,150 tokens have been created using the SLP framework. We can trade with them on crypto exchanges. Moreover, more and more merchants are accepting BCH. Reportedly, in 2019 there were 934 online stores, 550 brick-and-mortar- merchants and 889 other types of businesses that accepted dealing with BCH.

Litecoin

Litecoin is one of the alt coins that marked the astonishing increase of 40% during the entire 2019. However, its price kept fluctuating a lot. Therefore, we consider LTC to be highly volatile in nature. At the beginning of 2019 LTC had the price of $32. It quickly increased to $142 in June 2019. However, it has been in decline since then and at the time of writing of this text, its price is $40.20.

Nevertheless, Litecoin is one of the fastest crypto currencies and has therefore, secured its place on our list. Speed is one of the main advantages of payments in cryptos. As we wrote before, it facilitates the transfers and reduces the transaction costs to the very minimum. Furthermore, it is one of the oldest cryptos and the 4th cryptocurrency by market capitalization. We also explored the interesting details about Litecoin during 2019 and wrote about it on our blog.

Ether

There are many reasons why Ether (ETH) is one of the most desirable coins to trade with. Ethereum network has proved its reliability and continues to keep steady. Ethereum blockchain network has become the basis of many businesses that continue to run successfully. From blockchain-based gaming to building entire “smart cities”.

Ethereum is to thank for two main benefits we enjoy today. Firstly, Ethereum ecosystem issues ERC-20 tokens. Secondly, it provides for smart contracts. These are digital contracts that make transactions easier, while making the process automated, encrypted and top-notch secure.

ETH started the year with the price of $116 and ending at (at least on this day) $127.80. Ether reached its peak in June with the price of $334.66, making the yearly increase of 20%.

In overall, Ethereum caught up with the audience. There were reportedly more than 20 million ETH accounts that created in 2019. Only this year, 4 million new ETH addresses appeared.

Twitter Announces Decentralization of Social Media Platforms

By News & more No Comments

Twitter has announced revolutionary change that should come in effect in the following years. Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey spoke about decentralizing Twitter and introducing protocols, instead of further developing control over platforms. This change promotes the use of protocols and should impact all other social media platforms. Twitter announces decentralization of social media platforms and we are pondering on this topic.

Project “Bluesky”

Mr. Dorsey announced the funding of the project Bluesky. Project should be directed towards the funding of the decentralized version of Twitter. As Jack Dorsey has explained, promotion of healthy conversation is in its core:

“…It will allow us to access and contribute to a much larger corpus of public conversation, focus our efforts on building open recommendation algorithms which promote healthy conversation, and will force us to be far more innovative than in the past.”

Dorsey’s concept relies heavily on “Techdirt“ Mike Mesnick’s view point regarding the internet in general: protocols, not platforms.

What Exactly the Protocols Can Change?

“Protocol” is a very serious, fancy word for a set of rules. The main objection to the existing way in which we exchange information on Twitter is that someone controls it. To put it simply, all social media platforms are in a possession of private companies. This means that those platforms have an entity controlling the flow of the information.

Twitter’s CEO believes that we could solve many issues that arise from such control if we move to a world where protocols dominate. Having a proprietary platform in the hands of corporations means that there is a police-resembling entity regulating the speech online.

Once protocols come in effect, users should be able to design their own preferences regarding filters, interfaces, various services, etc. Moreover, each user would be able to create the online environment in accordance with his or her needs. No censorship whatsoever. For example, if you find a certain speech offensive, you would be able to avoid such speech, and not silence that voice in its entirety. Furthermore, the platform will not do that for you. You will be able to make decisions on your own.

Basically, protocols are lines of code stored on blockchain. Anyone would be able to create their own set of rules, which would translate into code in the backend. In its essence, these would be a set of “if/when… then…” statements. This should make for the safe online environment. However, what someone considers “safe” is debatable. Therefore, there would be a choice for each user to create his or her own safe environment on social media platform. Once again, blockchain will be put into good use.

When Can We Expect to Be Able to Use It?

According to the Twitter officials, we will not see this change so soon. The plan is for decentralization to come into effect in years to come. At the moment, Twitter is recruiting the experts to work on this project.

In overall, decentralization of blockchain-based social platforms aims for better end-use control of their own data. Additionally, it should genuinely protect free speech and limit the online abusive behavior.

Do you think that social media platforms should be decentralized?
