📷FINANCE
Interoperability has been the goal of many projects that are based on the blockchain. Interoperability means a way to facilitate communication and transfer of digital assets between separate blockchains. Bytom was created not just for developing this solution, it was designed in such a way that it can connect the digital connection and ‘atomic’ worlds.
Based on Proof-of-Work hashing algorithm, Bytom is known as an interpretational protocol which supports multiple assets. Bytom is used to reduce the gap between the real world and blockchain. It’s a company based in China and according to Bytom’s white paper, the main objective of the Bytom team is to bring ‘atomic assets’ on the blockchain.
Strategic Co-operation with East Lake Big Data Asset Exchange:
Bytom has been the center of attraction for a very long time and based on its recent performance at the end of Q2 it has proven to one of the most promising Chinese blockchain projects. The platform declared reaching the first stage of bringing assets on the blockchain or, asset blokchainisation when they reached a strategic partnership with 8BTC on April 12th.
This co-operation was made as an agreement that will promote the development of Bytom assets and East Lake Big Data Asset Exchange. The first big data exchange center is situated in central China and it’s the first government-approved domestic service organization and its providing one-stop big data solutions for government agencies and vertical market.
Bytom Algorithm Public Release:
Bytom created a buzz in its community when they completed their most-awaited event i.e. Bytom algorithm public release at the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It was the first public event at which Bytom shared the in-depth details of its artificial intelligence friendly tensority algorithm. The tensority is a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm which is based on tensor calculation.
This new scheme which is based on artificial intelligence is claimed to be an improved version of previous Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum algorithms. The conference consisted of many industry leaders, techies and entrepreneurs within the blockchain technology and they got introduced to the global elite on Bytom’s algorithm tensority. This event gave Bytom, a huge exposure which was required for a long time.
Bytom (BTM) Trading:
Bytom has placed itself in partnership with several pioneering companies and celebrated institutions in the blockchain. Bitmain, 8BTC, Wanchain, Superbloom are some of the few partners of Bytom. Apart from all these partnerships, Bytom has also collaborated with ConsenLabs who created imToken wallet app.
As for trading of Bytom (BTM), it is available on some of the most famous cryptocurrency exchanges such as Huobi, OkEx , KuCoin, Huobi, HitBTC, BigONE, Gate.io, EXX, Bibox, Etherdelta and many others.
Its performance has remained stable since its inception and the token has experienced a gradual growth ever since. The highest volume of Bytom is traded on Bibox exchange via the BTM/BTC pair whose daily volume surmounts to $11 million. It’s not available for direct trading US dollars hence, traders buy Bytom with their Bitcoin/Ethereum.
Current Status:
Currently, the Bytom markets are rising at a rate of 6.44% and its price point has reached $0.94. Its total market capitalization as shown at CoinMarketCap is around $930 million whereas the total circulating supply remains at 987 million BTM. In light of the recent events and due to all positive buzz surrounding this project, there’s a good chance of observing it jumping from its current 25th rank.
Partnership with leading industries, milestone achievements have raised its reach and expanded its community which has ultimately led to attracting investors who trust this project.
Conclusion:
It is evident that the development team working for Bytom wishes to set new standards and take asset digitization to a whole different level. They will realize an eco-system that is able to facilitate the creation and trade of a plethora of assets which are bound to orthodox financial systems and markets at present.
Bytom has consistently delivered their roadmap goals and the recent public release of Bytom’s algorithm has caused mixed signals from investors. But anyone can ascertain that Bytom is slowly establishing a strong presence in the ever-changing crypto markets. But it goes without saying that Bytom still has a long way to go.

Prelude
"Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." - John Kennedy, 1963
Many of you have expressed interest in our government experiment. Today we lead the charge.
Our system is one of financial and people development - as our people grow stronger, so do we get richer. Economy comes from the Greek for household management, and we function as a big house: full of people and full of treasures. But there comes a time when these treasures must be put into the hands of the new, to invest, to work, to study and to make them into more than gems but jewels, more than gold but ornaments, more than a band but a high society.
Our system for people development is taken from Benjamin Franklin system of virtues, along with the accompanying study guides. For rarely has anyone so succinctly and completely spelled out the path to the good life. For those new to Benjamin Franklin, I suggest taking his 13 week course in self-improvement; one which he took several times throughout his journey. He began each day, for there was not one to lose, asking "What good shall I do this day?" and addressed the Powerful Goodness within and without.
How much better would the world be if we did likewise.
From there he devised a system. First he delivered his almanac, Poor Richard's, to educate and entertain the people with witticisms, he authored the Way to Wealth, and made himself a formidable hand in politics, penning such tyraids against governors that he was formally reprimanded by the age of 14. Having charge of the printing press, mastering the craft of language, embossed him with qualities few would ever come to possess. And he used them well.
After sometime, he orchestrated a system to spread his good deeds, not by hands but into the minds of others - forming a Junto. This Junto, or social club, was a peaceful, sensible, and rigorous system for conducting societal study and investigating intrigues. Upon the end of a Friday night, a new topic would be chosen for that week's study. Upon the reconvenning the subsequent Friday, each would report what they had learned regarding Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy (called science today). Each week, one would present an essay he or she had written, and with 12 members present, that meant 4 essays per year to the person.
In such a way the spirit of truthful discovery was much advanced within the colonies, and which lead not to a resistance so much as an orderly deliverance into something much, much better than the proclamations of kings and magistrates.
“Everyone here will ultimately be judged – will ultimately judge himself, on the efforts he has contributed to building a new world society, to the extent which his ideals, or goals, have shaped that effort.” - Robert Kennedy, 1966
A New World Society
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. - Benjamin Franklin
This progress lead to America becoming one of the most highly mechanized societies in all the world. Education and civility went beyond the Gentlemen of Dickens but entered the hearts of the everyday people - each man took on his part. In turn, unlike the profiteer Crassus who extorted Romans through monopolizing the fire department, Franklin developed a volunteer system. This system spread to the development of Public Libraries, and many other similar social structures, and eventually culminated into the belief that common people could run government.
Our system is modeled after Franklin's Junto but instead of groups of 12 we use 8, for easier accounting and due to the shrinking of family sizes (families of 12 were not uncommon in those days). Indeed Franklin was one of seventeen, with little to inherit: he had to make it himself. These groups of 8 are to gather and initiate discussion as Franklin had intended, on Morals, Politics, or Science. Politics in these days was as much about the life of people, as it was over the concerns of just the magistrate.
After 50 minutes, we will call an election. Each person will receive a number, 1 through 8, and three numbers will be chosen at random. From those three 1 will be nominated to become their representative (with a coin flipped in the case of a tie). No more than 90 seconds will be permitted for campaigning, and votes can be secretly or publicly cast. For our online system, we will write down the name of our chosen on a piece of paper, and flip the pages over once all are ready.
This process repeats once more, making two representatives per table or team.
Thus 4 tables create 2 representatives each, forming a new table of 8. These 8 people, representing 32 in total, go on to engage in a similarly like-minded discussion, spread their cultural, scientific, moral, and political values - creating a harmony in the whole.
From these 8 two more will be nominated, and thus will conclude our first experiment in people leadership.
Thus there are two rounds:
Round 1 - Everyone competes, for 1 hour.
Round 2 - Representatives compete, for 1 hour.
And for so doing, for participating, for sacrificing an hour of your life for the betterment of the good, you will be rewarded - before the metaphysical, with money.
Cash money - cold coins - pieces of eight: bling.
Everyone who participates (with earnest) will receive 3 coins each - each of the 32 participants will receive 3 coins, and yes only 32 can join for the month of December, expanding to 128 for January.
Each representative will earn 12 coins. Thus 8 people will split 96 coins. Finally, the final 2 representatives will earn an additional 3 coins to each member of the table from which they originated - and will set agendas for the following month's study.
For a total prize pool of 480 coins, or Kennedys.
Kennedys Coin
Our coins are called Kennedys, named after JFK. Each will have a guaranteed minimum value of $0.50 USD, redeemable to our Patron Sponsor. Minimum redemption must be $20, with a maximum of $1,000 - one redemption per month. To sell your coins, just contact me and I will get you a Paypal or BTC transfer for a USD equivalent value.
Note: You do not HAVE to surrender your coins for $0.50, and indeed I encourage you to hold on to them as they might grow in value, but this is the MINIMUM value they will have. No coins will be sold to the public for less than $2 each.
From among the 32 registrants, 8 will be nominated as prime contributors, or honorees. These 8 will be put forth from the groups at large, thus one person might be nominated at each of the four tables simultaneously.
Once 8 unique names are chosen, per table, a similar voting process will repeat; until 8 unique names are selected by the groups as a whole (again two per table, save for the case of a tie or a repeat, in which it will be discarded and the next highest vote winner selected, or a coin flipped in the case of a tie).
The honorees will receive 12 coins each, for a total of 96. Finally, between the four groups, 2 groups must be decided as the groups which have contributed the most good, and will be awarded 50 coins, split 6.25 each. These prizes are issued by the people, similar to direct democratic rule.
In January the prize pool will about double.
Thus for December, we have 872 Kennedys awarded, between 32 people, for an average of 27.25 coins each.
As these groups expand, the prize pools will grow, roughly doubling each month until we have 8,192 people within the competition, sometime around April.
Additional Information
Beginning February, when we have 512 people compete, we will start writing anonymous essays criticizing society, as a homage to Benjamin Franklin (limited to 1 page) or shall we say Silence Dogood. The prizes and structure changes per month, so please pay close attention for further details. By the month of June, we should be prepared to hold a campout in Tennessee, and all those are welcome to attend, up to approximately 10,000 people.
Discussions must be recorded using a video conferencing system and shared with the internet for education and verification, last approximately 1 hour, and be of the mind as that demonstrated by Benjamin Franklin. Discussion will last about 50 minutes, and representatives selection will comprise the final 10 minutes. Come January, this process will repeat, from a total of 128. While this all may seem quite confusing and overwhelming for now, breath and take one step at a time. For now, all you must do is join up, partner, and form a group of 8 - and make your Junto. If you'd prefer a more private board upon which to discuss, we have set aside Kennedyscoin.org for that purpose - as something of a 'safe space' to complement the anarchy and public ridicule of Reddit.
Please form and join teams early, as soon as possible. Once you have a team of 8 notify us, and we can start the group meetings. Once 4 meetings have been concluded, we will move on to round two. And finally, about a week after the initial meetings, and after conclusion of the representatives meeting, we will have one more quick recap for about 10 minutes to select honorees & group honors - and that's it. That will wrap it all up.
Still today, the legacy of Benjamin Franklin lives on. Many may recall the enormous endowments which he left Boston and Philadelphia of 1,000 pounds each, to gather interest for 200 years - worth over $8,000,000 dollars upon completion. Yet few recall the American Philosophical Society. In this regard, we hope to expand that vision to a growing, vastly growing number of people - to spread this cultural and educational sharing to a large number of people, potentially worldwide.
And to do so we have created Bitcoin 1776, a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin which we will use to send and transfer funds. These coins will serve as our seed money (along with Patron Sponsorship) to get this organization going. Furthermore, as we go along, perhaps others take notice and, who knows, perhaps the value of these collectibles grows into something more. For all our early participants, you will be rewarded. And I thank you for taking the time, expressing interest, and helping to push us forward along this process.
The way to be safe, is never to be secure
We live in a very uncertain world. Let us make it more clear.
Together we can:
What good have I done to-day?
Would you live with ease, do what you ought and not what you please - Benjamin Franklin
Our contests will repeat each month, December through May, with prizes of $15,000. Our projected schedule is as follows (subject to change):
December - 32 people, 4 groups, 872 coins total
January - 128 people, 16 groups, 1,504 coins total
February - 512 people, 64 groups, 3,040 coins total
March - 2,048 people, 256 groups, 4,864 coins total
April - 8,192 people, 1,024 groups, 10,296 coins total
May - 8,192 people, 1,024 groups, 9,552 coins total
June / July - Tennessee Campout up to 10,000 people, 7,840 coins total.
May the age of enlightenment be reborn.
Enjoy! Bitcoin 1776!

Place an optional stoploss to be able to control unfavorable market conditions. Get the ability to trade with coins that you don't even own yet!. Now with Trailing Stop orders!
https://i.redd.it/vjoem3avnc221.png
This is used to get money from the fluctuation of a coin. There are many coins that go up and down many times a day. Let's see it with an example:
Imagine LTC is getting that behavior, lets say it's price is 0,0184 but is fluctuating from 0,0175 to 0,0185 several times. To get profit creating the orders by yourself, you will have to do the following:
With the trading bot, you configure a BUY order for 0,0175 and a SELL order for 0,0185 and don't do anything else. It's important to say that the bot lets you create a SELL order with coins that you don't even own yet (as you haven't purchased it at the start of the process). So you can configure it and go to sleep or whatever without you have to enter several times to check your BUY order have been filled to place the SELL order. The bot also works with the app closed.
Apart from this you can also configure a Stop Loss option to limit your loses if the market goes against you. Even you can skip the first step if you only want to place a sell at profit with stop loss
TRADING BOT OPERATIONS EXAMPLES
These are some of the operations you can configure with the bots, possibilities are infinite! You can create up to 25 concurrent bots.
BUY OPERATION
By default, BUY operations will be associated with <= symbol. That means: "When price reaches <= TRIGGER PRICE, place a BUY order with BUY PRICE for the defined amount of coin UNITS"
It's recommended to place a BUY PRICE a little higher than TRIGGER PRICE to ensure BUY order is filled. You can also choose the trigger symbol between <= or >=
SELL OPERATION
By default, SELL operations will be associated with >= symbol. That means: "When price reaches >= TRIGGER PRICE, place a SELL order with SELL PRICE for the defined amount of coin UNITS"
It's recommended to place a SELL PRICE a little lower than TRIGGER PRICE to ensure SELL order is filled. You can also choose the trigger symbol between <= or >=
SPLIT SELLS
You can configure split sells by adding consecutive SELL operations to your bot, so you can get a better chance to sell your coins.
CONCATENATE OPERATIONS
After you configured your first operation, you can keep adding more operations to your bot.
Below the units label, you will see two separated quantities. The first one is the currency amount of the coin you own right now, the second one is the currency amount you will add after first operation (if it was a buy).
https://i.redd.it/sqpqmyqkoc221.png
STOP LOSS
You can also configure a STOP LOSS operation to be safe if the market goes against you. A STOP LOSS operation should always be added after a SELL operation.
Select the trigger price you want the STOP LOSS order be created. If the coin price reaches that trigger price, a SELL order will be created with the following price:
BID price (at the moment when STOP LOSS is triggered) x MULT value.
Mult value is useful to ensure your order is filled if the price is changing very fast. Recommended value is 0.95
BUY STOP
Select the trigger price you want the BUY STOP order be created. If the coin price reaches that trigger price, a BUY order will be created with the following price:
ASK price (at the moment when BUY STOP is triggered) x MULT value.
Mult value is useful to ensure your order is filled if the price is changing very fast. Recommended value is 1.05
Trading bots with stop loss operations
TRAILING STOP
Get most benefit from BTC and altcoins fluctuation with Trailing Stop. This is probably the most powerful order type to get benefits. A sell trailing stop order sets the stop price at a fixed amount below the market price with an attached "trailing" amount. As the market price rises, the stop price rises by the trail amount, but if the stock price falls, the stop loss price doesn't change, and a market order is submitted when the stop price is hit. This technique is designed to allow an investor to specify a limit on the maximum possible loss, without setting a limit on the maximum possible gain.
Configure trailing stop order by defining the following settings:
TRIGGER PRICE: Defines the trigger price when the order will start trailing. From here sell order will increase it's price if coin price gets high.
STOP OFFSET: Defines the percentage the market price should fall to place the sell order. This step starts checking that percentage once the trigger price has ben reached
MULT: Helps you ensure the sell order is filled as it will be a limit order (not a market order). The SELL order will be created with the following price:
BID price (at the moment when SELL ORDER is triggered) x MULT value.
As said before, mult value is useful to ensure your order is filled if the price is falling very fast. Recommended value is 0.9
UNITS: Defines the units of the coin to be sold
Get more info about trailing stop orders here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order\_(exchange)#Trailing\_stop\_order
After you configure the Trailing Stop operation you can check the bot status. Including the top price reached and the current down percentage from top reached.
AUTO RESTART BOT
With this feature, you can set the bot to restart when it finishes with profits and without a stop order. This way you don't need to worry about checking if all orders are filled to restart it. And you can take full advantage on BTC and altcoins high fluctuation. Configure it once and start getting profits. Note that as said, it will only restart if last iteration finished with profits and without a stop order.
The application also shows you a resume of all times the bot have successfully completed (cycles). You can check the total profit and the number of times it has completed.
You can also see the detail of each completed bot iteration.
FILLED ORDERS NOTIFICATIONS
You can configure the bot to receive notifications when an order is filled or when the bot is completed. You will receive a push notification in your device when an operation is filled including info about the operation.You will also receive a push notification when all operations are finished, including the profit you made.
Designed to make money in pump events, just write the coin, buy and sell really quickly with the signal bot. Take advantage from others buying when the price is still rising. You will love trading with this app. Once you placed the order, the app tells you if it was filled or not. It also prints the current price of the coin in Bitcoin, updating it constantly so you can sell it when it reaches the price you want. Sell orders are also placed with the same speed as buy orders, so you can take advantage to others at your exchange. The bot is fully customizable, you can configure the Bitcoin (BTC) amount to spend and the buy/sell price increment you want to offer from the current coin price. You can also configure if you want to autocancel a non-filled order or not.
Signal bot (designed for pump events)
Awesome features included in SignalBot:
+ Auto StopLoss
+ Auto TakeProfit
+ Configure the amount of units you want to sell
+ Possibility of canceling orders on SignalBot screen
+ Autocheck for filled orders
+ Percentage of profit trailer included

Jim Breyer, Mitch McConnell's brother-in-law, Facilitates Russia’s Takeover of Facebook through Yuri Milner
In 2005 Jim Breyer, a partner at Accel Partners, invested $1 million of his own money into Facebook and gained a seat on the board (1).
In Feb 2009 Jim Breyer visited Russia with a number of other Silicone Valley investors. While there, Yuri Milner, a Russian tech entrepreneur who founded DST with close ties to the Kremlin, hosted a dinner to cap the entire event (2). As one Moscow source put it:
DST has the backing of the big boys at the top in the Kremlin, which is why it will go from strength to strength (5)
Milner found out Breyer liked Impressionist art and took him to Russian’s Hermitage Museum to view Matisse paintings otherwise closed off to the public. Three months later Yuri Milner’s DST invested into Facebook at a bloated value. (2)
Mr Milner dismissed suggestions that at a valuation of $10bn he overpaid for his stake in Facebook, especially given that the social networking site has yet to prove it has turned to profit. (3)
it’s seen as a desperate and rather vulgar deal on the one hand—Milner buying a small stake in Facebook, valuing the entire company at $10 billion—and, on the other, Facebook debasing itself by taking Russian money. Russian money! In fact, it seems rather like a desperate deal for both parties (in the midst of the banking crisis, Facebook has only two other bidders for this round—and none from the top VC tier) (4)
By the end of 2009, DST would own 10% of Facebook. Later revealed by the Paradise Papers, DST’s investments into Facebook were financed by the Russian government through state-owned Gazprom. That’s right, in 2009 Russia owned 10% of Facebook. (6)
Soon after, the two continued to work together on other investments. Breyer introduced Milner to Groupon, and Milner helped Breyer’s Accel invest into Spotify (7). In 2010 an Accel representative joined a gaggle of Silicon Valley investors to Russia a signed a letter promising to invest into Russia (8).

Jim Breyer and Rupert Murdoch
Then in Nov 2010 Jim Breyer invested into Artsy.net, run by Rupert Murdoch’s then-wife, Wendi Deng, and Russia oligarch Roman Abramovich’s then-wife, Dasha Zhukova. Jared Kushner’s brother, Josh, also invested in the fledgling company (1).
At the time Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation had a joint venture with the Russian mob-linked oligarch Boris Berezovsky, called LogoVaz News Corporation, that invested in Russian media (4). It was Berezovsky’s protege close to Putin, Roman Abramovich, who tied Berezovsky to the mob.
According to the Mirror Online, Abramovich paid Berezovsky tens, and even hundreds, of millions every year for "krysha", or mafia protection. (5)
In June 2011, Rupert Murdoch ended his foray into social media by selling Myspace to Justin Timberlake (2) and elected Jim Breyer to the board of News Corp (3).

Jim Breyer invests in Wickr with Erik Prince
In 2012 Breyer invested in a encrypted messenger app, Wickr. Other investors include Gilman Louie and Erik Prince. To understand the connection, we need to go back to 1987. Breyer, newly hired to Accel Partners, made his first investment with Louie’s video game company that owned the rights to the Soviet Union’s first video game export, Tetris (1).
Louie went off to become the founding CEO of the CIA-backed In-Q-Tel which invested in Palantir. Palantir’s founder, Peter Thiel, sat on the board of Facebook with Breyer (2)(3). On the board of In-Q-Tel is Buzzy Krongard (7), the man who helped Erik Prince’s Blackwater receive their first CIA contract, who also joined the board of Blackwater in 2007 (6).

Jim Breyer and Yuri Milner invest in Prismatic
That same year, 2012, Jim Breyer invested in Prismatic, a news aggregate app, with Yuri Milner.
Prismatic’s technology works by crawling Facebook, Twitter and the web (“anything with a URL”) to find news stories. It then uses machine learning to categorize them by Topic and Publication. Prismatic users follow these Topics and Publications, as well as Individuals and the algorithm then uses these preferences and user-activity signals to present a relevant Newsfeed. (1)
Sounds like the beginning of what could be a propaganda dissemination tool. That goes in-line with Yuri Milner’s vision of Social Media. Milner’s theory:
“Zuckerberg’s Law”: Every 12 to 18 months the amount of information being shared between people on the web doubles... Over time people will bypass more general websites such as Google in favor of sites built atop social networks where they can rely on friends’ opinions to figure out where to get the best fall handbag, how to change a smoke detector, or whether to vacation in Istanbul or Rome. “You will pick your network, and the network will filter everything for you,” Milner explained. (2)
So how does Milner intend to utilize the data gathered through social media? Let’s see what Milner did to Russia’s top social media site, VK:
In January 2014, Durov sold his 12 percent stake to Ivan Tavrin, the CEO of major Russian mobile operator Megafon, whose second-largest shareholder is Alisher Usmanov, one of Russia’s most powerful oligarchs, a man who has long been lobbying to take over VK.
Then, in April 2014, Durov stated he had sold his stake in the company and became a citizen of St Kitts and Nevis back in February after "coming under increasing pressure" from the Russian Federal Security Service to hand over personal details of users who were members of a VK group dedicated to the Euromaidan protest movement in Ukraine. (3)
The Euromaidan protest ousted the Russian-backed president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, whom Paul Manafort had worked to install. (4)
Facebook talks US Elections with Russia
In Oct 2012 Zuckerberg traveled to Moscow and met Dmitry Medvedev where they had a very interesting conversation:
Mr. Zuckerberg and Mr. Medvedev talked about Facebook’s role in politics, though only jokingly in reference to its importance in the American presidential campaign, according to Mr. Medvedev’s press office. (1)
While there he also visited Victor Vekselberg's Skolkovo, who’s currently under investigation by Mueller for donations to Trump (2).
As Obama’s effort to reboot diplomatic relations [with Russia] sputtered, federal officials began raising alarms about the Skolkovo Foundation’s ties to Putin.
“The foundation may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation’s sensitive or classified research, development facilities and dual-use technologies” (3)
And took time to teach Russian's how to hack Facebook friend data, the same hack used by Cambridge Analytica, Donald Trump’s campaign data firm.
In a 2012 video, Facebook's Simon Cross shows the Moscow crowd how they can "get a ton of other information" on Facebook users and their friends. "We now have an access token, so now let's make the same request again and see what happens," Cross explains (YouTube). "We've got a little bit more data, but now we can start doing really interesting stuff. We can get my friends. We can get some more information about one of my friends. Here's Connor, who you'll meet later. Say 'hello,' Connor. He's waving. And we can also get a ton of other information as well." (4)
Facebook later hired the individual who hacked Facebook and sold the data to Cambridge Analytica (5).
A month after that visit, Putin propaganda mouth-piece Konstantin Rykov, claims he began helping with Trump’s presidential aspirations (6). Days later, Trump registered “Make America Great Again” (7).

Andrei Shleifer and Len Blavatnik
Len Blavatnik, a US-Russian oligarch currently under investigation by Mueller, graduated from Harvard in 1989 and quickly formed Renova-Invest with Viktor Vekselberg, another oligarch under Mueller’s investigation (7)(8). Since then Blavatnik has maintained close ties to the university.
In 1992, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Andrei Shleifer led a consortium of Harvard professors to assist Russia’s vice-president Antaoly Chubais with the privatization Russia’s state-run assets. Scandal broke when it was revealed Shleifer, through Blavatnik’s company and with Blavatnik’s guidance, invested in the very companies he worked to privatize. (6)
Years later, Shleifer continued to fund loans to Blavatnik for Russian ventures through his hedge fund, managed by his wife, Nancy Zimmerman (9), and created the Russian Recovery Fund which bought $230 million of Russian debt from Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management (10), who’s seed fun, Tiger Global, later invested in Milner’s DST.
Schleifer is still a professor at Harvard.

Breyer and Harvard
On April 2013, two months after Breyer was elected to the board of Harvard (1), Len Blavatnik, donated $50 million to the school (2) and joined the Board of Dean’s Advisors (3)(4) and Harvard’s Global Advisory Council (6) alongside Breyer. The next month Breyer announced plans to step down from the board of Facebook with an intention of focusing on his latest Harvard appointment (5).

Breyer invests in Russian Company Ostrovok
In 2014 Breyer’s Accel Partners invested in Russian hotel booking site, Ostrovok, along with Yuri Milner, Esther Dyson (1), Mark Pincus, and Peter Thiel (2).
Jim Breyer, Blackstone Group, and Saudi Arabia
In 2011 Schwarzman was named to the board of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (2), headed by Kirill Dimitriev.
In June 2016, during Trump’s presidential campaign, Jim Breyer met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman, or MBS (8). The next month Breyer joined the board of Blackstone Group (1) alongside Stephen Schwarzman and Jacob Rothschild (3). In the past Blackstone Group had loaned Kushner Companies a combined $400 million over multiple projects (7).
Jacob’s brother, Nat is business partners with both Oleg Deripaska (4), Rupert Murdoch, and Dick Cheney (5). Nat is also a major investor in Glencore, one of the purchasers of Rosneft stock detailed in the Steele Dossier (6).
In January 2017, Breyer’s business partner at Wickr, Erik Prince, was introduced to Dimitriev by MBS’s emissary, George Nader, and the Crown Prince of the UAE (10). After the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, when most American investors were spooked away from Saudi Arabia, Jim Breyer showed up at a Saudi business summit alongside Kirill Dimitriev of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (9).

https://cryptoiq.co/dogecoin-doge-the-shiba-inu-meme-that-turned-into-a-major-cryptocurrency/
Atsuko Sato adopted a Shiba Inu from an animal shelter, and eventually took the famous Doge picture in 2010. The picture itself is entrancing, something like a hybrid between the Mona Lisa and a disturbed Shiba Inu. It is impossible to tell what exactly the shibe is thinking, leaving people open to interpret its thoughts. Someone on the internet posted the shibe’s possible thoughts all over the image in pastel colors (below image), and the Doge meme was born, and soon proliferated across the internet. This is ultimately what led to the creation of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency ranked #21 on CoinMarketCap with a market cap of USD 279 million. Although Dogecoin started with just a meme, it now has one of the most active communities in the crypto space, and will likely be a major cryptocurrency long term.
https://i.redd.it/qs7prtlzta221.png
Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer were cryptocurrency enthusiasts who also loved the Doge meme, and that led them to launch Dogecoin on 6 December 2013. There were only 59 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap when Dogecoin was listed, and Dogecoin was certainly the first memecoin. Dogecoin rapidly became successful, with the first Dogecoin rally on 19 December 2013. Dogecoin’s early success led to numerous other crypto enthusiasts launching meme and joke coins, but none of them succeeded in the long run. Dogecoin is the only memecoin that has become a major cryptocurrency, most of the others have totally failed.
Practically all of the cryptocurrencies that have launched in 2017 and 2018 utilized initial coin offerings (ICOs), making them impossible to obtain without buying them. Dogecoin on the other hand had a humble and fair launch, with zero premine, and profitable mining from the beginning. Dogecoin uses the Scrypt Proof of Work algorithm, and back when Dogecoin launched it was easy to earn significant amounts of Dogecoin with a personal or gaming computer. This made Dogecoin very attractive to crypto miners, since miners could earn numerous coins even with the cheapest mining setup, versus Litecoin mining where it took weeks or months to earn an entire Litecoin. There is definitely a psychological boost when miners receive entire coins rapidly, versus small fractions of a coin. To this day Dogecoin continues to be a #1 choice for people mining via Scrypt Proof of Work on personal computers, which causes a continuous flow of new users into the Dogecoin community. This gives Dogecoin a competitive edge over many of the newer cryptocurrencies.
What makes Dogecoin truly unique is its active and friendly community. There are many Dogecoin forums and chats, but the r/dogecoin subreddit is the central nerve of the Dogecoin world. Back in 2014 and 2015 Dogecoin tips were raining down from the sky in r/dogecoin, which caused many people that never used cryptocurrency before to begin using Dogecoin, since they would get some Dogecoins for free, and then begin using and talking about Dogecoin. This made r/dogecoin and Dogecoin itself fun, if not addicting. Tipping continues to this day on r/dogecoin.
The atmosphere of tipping and friendliness made r/dogecoin the perfect environment for crypto newcomers. New crypto users learned about creating their first wallet, mining cryptocurrency, trading cryptocurrency, developing crypto apps, and how to objectively analyze ongoing events in the crypto space, and were rewarded throughout the process. Compare this to the central nerve of the Bitcoin community, which is r/Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, which has very useful information, but a more aggressive community and barely any tipping. Fundamentally this is because the Bitcoin community is focused on making money, while the Dogecoin community is focused on giving away money to build a better world.
Dogecoin continues to onboard many new crypto users, and numerous veteran crypto users like Dogecoin and continue to buy it and use it, since that is where they started. Just like people grow up in a certain place and like to stay there or visit, many crypto users grew up in the Dogecoin community and never stop coming back.
Essentially, Dogecoin is the gateway to the crypto space, and will probably hold that position long term. There is no other crypto community that is so focused on helping others, since most crypto communities are focused on competitive money making. Therefore, Dogecoin appears to have the right stuff to stay near the top of the CoinMarketCap rankings for the foreseeable future.
