Bitcoin was originally conceived to be outside the fiat money system as an electronic cash system for a new world. However, at present, the currency standard is still the fiat money standard. The envisaged bitcoin-based settlement system still has no foundation or a wide consensus on the value of the currency standard.
As a compromise, many stablecoins provide a temporary solution for the ecology through a 1:1 anchorage of U.S. dollar, with third-party bank custody becoming mainstream. The rapid growth of Tether and the loss of market share in the face of competition have added more uncertainty to the current market. The decentralization scheme provided by MakerDAO was slightly weak in the initial competition but the reputation gradually accumulated. As the market deepens, cryptocurrencies based on more regional legal currencies are gradually coming online, and people are beginning to try different chain payment attempts.
This article refers to the article Stable Digital Currency Manual by co-founder of Zhibao Mikko, trying to explore the difficulties and future of stablecoin from a currency perspective.
The Difficulties of Bitcoin Settlement System
When it comes to stablecoins, the original idea of Bitcoin has to be mentioned ---- a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Over the past decade, a series of expansions have been made in the blockchain technology and Bitcoin. In people's minds, Bitcoin will be a new generation of the world's monetary system, independent of the fiat money (US dollar) system, to de-intermediate transaction transfers and asset storage, to eliminate asset losses caused by the bank's centralized risk, and put an end to the harvest of wealth brought about by hyperinflation.
In reality, Bitcoin does have somehow established its own trading system - such as black market transactions in the dark network. Dark network commodity trading uses Bitcoin as a medium, and buyers and sellers are also happy to configure a portion of Bitcoin as a value reserve. On the other hand, Bitcoin is the most common trading medium among cryptocurrency exchanges for a long time before the popularity of USDT. Some people said, “Bitcoin is the real stablecoin.” In addition to observing the fluctuations in the value of the fiat money, the traders of various cryptocurrencies will also pay attention to the relationship between cryptocurrency and the bitcoin trading pair. But in this case, this so-called bitcoin-based trading system still has several problems.
https://i.redd.it/679bncm37ng21.jpg
The first is the currency standard: even if some people regard Bitcoin as a gift, they have long believed that Bitcoin will eventually level the volatility and increase the index, but even the so-called beliefs are usually denominated in fiat money (US dollar, Euro, RMB). That is to say, the first problem with Bitcoin is that there is no pricing power. In other words, Bitcoin cannot perform the settlement function extensively in the holder's daily life. The daily benchmarking consensus based on Bitcoin in a wide range is that it doesn't exist at all.
In China, a Coke is 3 RMB, and in the US it is 1 US dollar. The two are under their respective independent settlement systems. If the person in one of the systems happens to come to another system, such as a Chinese who first bought a Coke in the United States, the first reaction is likely to be a cup of 6.71 yuan. Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency does not have a similar settlement system under the independent monetary framework.
In the case that it is not possible to participate extensively in daily pricing, the currency standard is the fiat money standard. For members of the cryptocurrency community, the actual fiat money-based thinking does not directly affect the willingness of buyers and sellers to use Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for physical purchases, but when Bitcoin’s price against fiat money falls into huge downward fluctuations, it rejects the situation of receiving cryptocurrencies is inevitable.
So the second question directly promotes the strong demand for stablecoins: currency price fluctuations. On the other hand, it should be realized that Bitcoin does not have a complete settlement system and a broad and stable price consensus based on the system; on the other hand, since the initial definition of Bitcoin was an innovation independent of the traditional financial system, even if it is far from the original concept, the community consensus based on the decentralization and token incentives is different from the traditional financial system.
So for a long time, the market could not price bitcoin with the traditional asset framework. The triumph of 2017 has made the society more aware and acknowledged about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency systems. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange CME has put on bitcoin futures at the end of the year. At the same time as government regulation gradually intervenes, the OTC exchange network outside the market is also getting better and better, and the pricing of bitcoin is starting to break away from fanaticism. At the end of 2017, the isolationism of various countries has become stronger, the pace of interest rate hikes of the FED has sped up, and global asset preferences have also undergone subtle changes towards safe-haven assets. China’s domestic capital has advocated “cash is the king” and Bitcoin has entered a down cycle.
As noted above, upside volatility can also encourage traditional merchants to participate in speculation, but downside volatility has caused most merchants to lose their willingness to treat Bitcoin as a currency. In 2018, with the increasingly strong bear market in the cryptocurrency world, the demand for safe-haven and stable-price trading media in the encryption community has skyrocketed, and countless stablecoin projects have been launched. At the same time, Tether, which occupied the absolute market share of stablecoins in 2017, continued to expand against the trend of black box operations.
Third Party Intermediary - Compromise of Fiat Money Stablecoins
The hot currency-backed stablecoin is undoubtedly a compromise of the cryptocurrency market against traditional currencies.
As Nakamoto said in the Bitcoin White Paper, “trade on the Internet almost requires financial institutions to act as trusted third parties to process electronic payment information. Although such systems work well in most cases, such systems are still endogenously constrained by the weakness of the 'trust based model'... We really need an electronic payment system that is based on cryptography rather than credit, making any parties that have reached an agreement can make payments directly, eliminating the need for third-party intermediaries."
Although the article refers to the payment process in the transaction, it is the same in terms of collateral custody. The trust of third-party financial institutions in this mode is inevitable. Trust means that when the custodian bank secretly misappropriates collateral or bankrupts for any reason, the user's assets will be difficult to guarantee, abbreviated as SPOF single point of failure.
But the good news is that when the market competition is fully carried out, the user as a whole is divided into several different groups, and different fiat money stablecoin products with different audit processes under different banks are used. A single point of failure of an individual project does not affect the continued operation of other stablecoin products; and the community response to a single company's evil or potential evil is greatly magnified as the number of competing products increases.
Taking Tether as an example, the giants who once occupied more than 95% of the market share of the stablecoin market finally ignited the trust crisis in the long-term refusal of transparent auditing, and the market share plummeted. In the foreseeable future, Tether will gradually liberalize its transparency and optimize its relationship with users to maintain its current market share. The stablecoin competing products that continue to enter the market will form a continuous multi-disciplinary force on existing projects in the market to promote market improvement and relief centralized risk.
The Rise and Blockage of Tether
The real rise of stablecoin is actually symbolized by Tether's exponential growth in 2017. From the eve of the dawn of 2017 to the day after 20 months, Tether's market value has skyrocketed from less than $7 million to more than $2.8 billion, a 400-fold increase.
USDT Year Chart (green - currency price; blue - market value)
In 2018, the hot stablecoin market, USDT's exclusive access to the stablecoin, and stablecoin’s widespread dissatisfaction with the rejection of third-party audits attracted many competitors. In March, True USD (TUSD) was transparently managed. The name entered the competition. Around October, stablecoins such as USDCoin (USDC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD) and Paxos Standard (PAX), which had strong background, compliance audit and good asset transparency, went online. At about the same time, perhaps the pressure from friends and merchants has soared. It is a coincidence that Tether has successively experienced a series of scandals and then the price collapsed in mid-October, and evaporated 40% of the market value in the following month. After a series of cycles, the situation gradually eased.
The four consecutive stablecoins mentioned above seized the market share and expanded rapidly in the next few months. In the month before the deadline, Tether's stablecoin market share was stable at around 70%, and the remaining market share was occupied by the top four newcomers. In the process of grabbing the market, there were fluctuations, including the only US compliance encryption. The progress of the USDC issued by the currency exchange COINBASE is the most eye-catching, and its market value accounts for about 10% of the overall stablecoin market at the time of writing.
https://i.redd.it/wk591kvn7ng21.jpg
A simple conclusion is that Tether can still be stable even after the crisis, thanks to Tether's first-mover advantage in its existing position on global exchanges and the high liquidity it represents. The three basic functions of money are pricing units, value storage, and trading media, while liquidity is their common subtext.
The unit price provided by a currency lacking liquidity cannot obtain broad consensus of money users. The lack of consensus leads to price disorder, and the currency thus loses the valuation value. As a value storage and trading medium, it will miss trading object and depth due to low liquidity and cannot complete the basic function as a currency.
Although the new four-dollar collateral stabilized currency occupies its place in the start of the competition with Tether, Tether sits on a whole bull market with a trading history that has a relatively complete trading pair coverage in the world's major exchanges; In addition to the full coverage of the exchange, USDT also has a sound OTC network construction, providing the most direct portal for stocks and potential incremental users. Under the superposition, Tether's endogenous and exogenous liquidity advantages are particularly evident, and even in the case of black box scandals, it can still occupy a fairly strong market share. But with the gradual gradual competition, peer supervision and the gradual enrichment of user-selectable products, Tether's fault-tolerant space for future strategies is not as optimistic as imagined.
HUSD - Self-contained Stablecoins
In response to the October crisis in Tether, the Fire Currency Exchange launched a HUSD Stabilization Coin program.
In this scheme, the Firecoin users will automatically convert to HUSD when they recharge the PAX, TUSD, USDC, and GUSD. HUSD has no actual issuance process, but simply a unit of pricing corresponding to four types of stablecoin recharge. After the user converts one of the stablecoins into HUSD, he or she can freely choose any one to redeem.
The program not only helps users to spread the centralization risk of a single fiat money stablecoin, but also helps the four stable coins to complete the group on the fire currency exchange to cope with the existing liquidity competitive advantage of the USDT. But on the other hand, the user's use of HUSD is based on trust in the fire currency exchange, in other words another single point of failure risk. Therefore, in order to dilute the risk of centralization, it is still necessary to transparently deal with the specific schemes of the fire currency exchange, and the supervision of the fire coins by the community, especially other exchanges.
Decentralization Breakout of Stablecoin
At present, a number of currency-backed stablecoins, led by USDT, cover almost all of the market capitalization and liquidity of the stablecoin market.
In this case, MakerDAO's DAI is extraordinarily precious. The DAI Stabilized Currency System generates a stablecoin DAI through over-collateralization of cryptocurrency. Most of the functions within the system are implemented or planned through the deployment of smart contracts, such as chain generation and redemption of stable coins, management of collateral, and so on. In addition to the DAI as a stablecoin, as a dual currency system, there is another governance currency called MKR in MakerDAO. Governance currency holders support the system's decentralized governance functions while enjoying the overall benefits of the system, and provide additional funding buffers for the system in events such as abnormal currency fluctuations.
In MakerDAO's overall vision, the system first endorses the credit of the stablecoin through the chain of excess collateral, while the interest generated by the credit function (the essence of DAI generated by the mortgage cryptocurrency is a lending process), the collateral under abnormal fluctuations The profit from the flat penalty triggered by Ping and the more financial derivative function to support the system's self-operation.
One of the biggest conflicts between the community and the cryptocurrency collateral currency is the risk exposure of the collateral in the warehouse when the cryptocurrency generates a stablecoin. Although in theory the users of the stablecoin can be separated from the mortgagor, the mortgagor can be a more risk-tolerant group, such as an eager borrower, a professional user of financial instruments, etc., but since the stablecoin is issued The identity of the person itself is subject to a natural limitation based on the degree of risk aversion, and its supply has an additional limit.
On the other hand, there is a limited source of information about Ethereum as a single collateral: the mortgagor is limited to holders of Ethereum. In MakerDAO's plan, the multi-collateral version of the system will gradually improve with iteration, and the achievement of this program will effectively reduce the risk of the MakerDAO collateral asset portfolio and increase the potential DAI generation limit. Ample supply and liquidity of the DAI will help activate the system in more possibilities on the market.
https://i.redd.it/kjbefyb18ng21.jpg
Compared to the competition between the four newcomers and the USDT, the position of MakerDAO is quite different. If the user's choice between the four newcomers and the USDT is a trade-off between liquidity (product usability) and security, then between USDT and DAI is liquidity (product usability) and decentralized belief. The trade-off. As far as the market is concerned, MakerDAO's dual currency system seems to explain better how the project side can continue the project through the circulation of profits. Many of the fiat money-backed stablecoin projects have always wondered whether they will realize their own coinage rights in the future and thus harm the user's property rights.
As a successful decentralized stablecoin project, MakerDAO is one of the most successful projects on Ethereum. This is both a tribute to the MakerDAO development path: the development of other projects (dApp) on the Ethereum and the overall robustness of the ecology. As the second generation of the public chain, Ethereum pioneered the concept of smart contract, which is a milestone in the development of application on the chain. However, in the course of many years of development, the performance of the main network and the fragmentation technology have been delayed. So although MakerDAO claims that DAI will have many chain advantages as ERC20 tokens, it seems that the eApp side of Ethereum has not seen a good development momentum.
It is worth mentioning that in the performance of the public chain and dApp development, the EOS public chain has developed rapidly since the launch of the main network in 2018. If EOS has a stablecoin project like MakerDAO, and can properly handle potential security issues in the operation process (such as the potential risks caused by the scalability of the contract, etc.), there is much to be done. After all, in addition to seeking cooperation under the chain, the pricing system of cryptocurrency is more important to find and create niches that belong only to the world of cryptocurrency. A robust dApp ecology with a constant need for stable coins or the only possible form of this niche.
Choice Outside the U.S. Dollar
The few stablecoins currently circulating the most are anchoring the US dollar. There is no doubt that the status of the dollar in the current world currency system is irreplaceable. The bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies described in the beginning of the article lack the independent settlement system, and the US dollar is the extreme of the other end – the currency with the most complete settlement framework in the world.
From the gold standard to the Bretton Woods system, to the current global commodity and foreign exchange trading system centered on the US dollar-oil trading system, the three functions of currency pricing, storage and circulation are reflected in the US dollar. As the currency with the most universal purchasing power and deep trading depth, the US dollar has naturally become the primary anchor for many stablecoins that pursue international influence. The dependence of the stablecoin on the US dollar is a last resort. While stabilizing the dollar, the stablecoin not only enjoys the liquidity advantage brought by the dollar, but also inherits the volatility risk of the dollar itself. Although the US dollar is still the most trustworthy currency on a macro level, if A's main payment scenario is in Country A, and Country A's currency has a large appreciation of the US dollar due to market factors, then the asset holding the anchored US dollar. Bringing a higher base point risk to A.
Among the many non-US dollar currencies, the yen is one of the most distinctive currencies. The Japanese government has a positive attitude towards blockchain technology. In April 2017, it recognized the legal payment status of Bitcoin and formulated a series of laws and regulations for the exchange. At the same time, Japan is also one of the most active participants in the cryptocurrency market. At the end of 2018, Japanese IT giant GMO Internet announced that it plans to introduce a yen-linked cryptocurrency in 2019 to prepare for the next phase of cross-border settlement. The emergence of a liquid currency-stable yen stablecoin will not only help Japanese crypto community members to better participate in daily market behavior, but also help cross-border currency settlement. In addition, due to Japan’s domestic economic structure, monetary policy has maintained ultra-low interest rates for a long time. Under this premise, investors are more willing to invest in sovereign countries with higher interest rates, especially the United States. When the United States is in turmoil, funds are largely returned to the yen, which has a very low risk attribute, which raises the yen and lowers the dollar. Therefore, the emergence of the yen stablecoin can also provide a better safe haven for holders of USD stabilized coins such as USDT in the potential dollar crisis.
In addition to the yen, the private sector or the government of Australia, the euro zone and other countries are also involved in the development and deployment of their domestic currency stablecoin. While the vast majority will still be a similarly centralized bank hosting model, it should still be seen as an improvement and rationally expecting a more equitable and efficient system.
The Future Direction of the Stablecoin
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the original idea of the cryptocurrency community for Bitcoin was to create a decentralized financial system that would be independent of the traditional monetary system. However, due to the lack of an independent and complete settlement system, or the lack of a broad currency-based pricing consensus, the cryptocurrency world cannot be formed into a real monetary system, and it has to rely on the attachment to the US dollar or other currencies to achieve long-term scenarios. Valuation of prices in cryptocurrencies, etc. Although Bitcoin itself has the believer of the currency standard, the foundation of the belief is mostly based on the re-exponential rise of the price of the bitcoin, which is still the thinking of fiat money.
Given that there is a consensus that goods can only be denominated in currency A in the payment and settlement system of country A, if the cryptocurrency world wants to form an independent payment settlement system, the best pricing unit for the purchase should be cryptocurrency. The anchoring of the U.S. dollar and other fiat money is just to use the currency attribute (otherwise the currency credit cannot be established), and will destruct the consensus to regard cryptocurrency as the best pricing unit and establish an independent monetary system (the cost of convenience). The power of habit is hard to overcome, and the habit of paying the currency of a chain certainly needs to be achieved by the widespread purchase of assets on the chain. This process requires gradual improvement of the payment scenario between stablecoin systems and dApps.
The cryptocurrency eco-walls we mentioned above are based on the hope of this exclusive chain-based settlement system. The simple dApp on the chain is obviously not enough. We also have two topics to be studied in the chain payment scenario and asset chaining. Users must complete the process from chain to chain and back to chain to integrate cryptocurrency pricing into everyday habitual thinking.
Then, the stablecoin will gradually deepen into people's daily life after several decades, while the banknotes gradually withdraw from the trading scene, and the sub-generation gradually accepts the new cryptocurrency value settlement system.

This is a disappointing time for the Canadian cryptocurrency industry, and one that we feel at CoinField isn’t a true representation of the people or businesses in it. However, this unnerving incident has brought to light an important conversation that Canadians and cryptocurrency HODLers around the globe should discuss — the topic of regulation.
At CoinField, we believe that without regulatory guidelines, legitimate businesses and the rights of consumers are not protected. Instead, it opens up the environment to corruption and nefarious activities.
CoinField Security
The history of Bitcoin is littered with exchange hacks and scams. At CoinField, we wanted to set a new standard. We believe in cryptocurrency and the opportunity it provides newcomers to participate in building capital and communities that were traditionally left out in the cold.
That’s why providing cryptocurrency access to 100 countries worldwide and securely storing our users’ assets is our top priority.
At CoinField, we store a majority of our assets in cold storage. Only to meet our daily trading supply, do we keep a limited amount in warm wallets. To us, storing a majority of assets in cold storage offline is the most secure option we can offer as an exchange. In most cases, exchanges are hacked because assets were stored in hot wallets online.
As a company, choosing our cold wallet and custodial service partner was one of the most important decisions we made. Confidently we can say we chose the best in the biz, Bitgo. Bitgo is a global leader in institutional cryptocurrency financial services, including cold wallet custodial storage. They provide institutional level security as well as multi-signature wallets. Multi-signature wallets protect users against unforeseen events like the death of the founders at CoinField.
Another security feature we offer is storing all our users’ data in an isolated network of servers.
Thoughts on Regulation
Although Canadians may feel disheartened by recent events, we wanted to take this time to highlight the need for regulation in this industry. When an industry is in its nascent stages, it is favourable for there to be little or no regulation. It allows innovators and developers to test and create without restrictions and barriers. However, in Bitcoin’s 10th year, it’s time to put some guidelines in place.
At CoinField, we applaud the start of an important dialog on the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges. We believe that all exchanges need to be audited annually, just as traditional financial institutions are required to do. Regulation helps the growth of legitimate businesses and protects the rights of consumers. We support the provincial and federal governments of Canada in their endeavor to regulate the cryptocurrency exchange market.
Here at CoinField, we are in compliance with Fintrac regulations and we have an in-house compliance team led by a chief compliance officer who is dedicated to combating all fraudulent activity. In addition, we employ someone who audits all withdrawals from our exchange.
Market Position
CoinField is a Canadian Cryptocurrency Platform based in Vancouver, BC, founded by local technology veterans and entrepreneurs Babak Bob Ras and Reza Bashbash. We have a team of 30+ experts located in the World Trade Centre in downtown Vancouver, Canada and we’re actively seeking talent to join us on our journey.
CoinField launched in April 2018 in midst of the cryptocurrency market crisis. Users came to CoinField solely on the reputation of the platform and the word of mouth by satisfied users. In November 2018, we launched the service globally, offering access to crypto trading in 100 countries, achieving 100% user growth in a months time.
This month, we are launching our White Label Cryptocurrency Trading Software. Prior to the commercial launch, the team spent a year creating and building the one-of-a-kind crypto trading platform. The all-in-one platform offers better performance, customization, and liquidity than our competitors. After the successful launch of CoinField, we are confident that financial institutions that want to build a digital assets exchange in their own country will want to take advantage of our software licensing program.
As a young company in a young industry, we know that there will be challenges. The market is volatile, it needs a regulatory framework, and identity fraud is a constant threat.
However, we know that to build a sustainable ecosystem built on complex cryptographic functions, the industry needs to prioritize education. In the next few months, we’ll be launching a Daily Live News outlet covering all things crypto from market updates to industry news.
Lastly, since our world is heading in a mobile-oriented direction, we’re building a trading app for on the go.
We are here for the long run. We want to build a sustainable business, using the latest technology to enable access to financial services and improve the quality of life for everyone.

Ariel Ling, as the co-founder and COO of BitMax.io (BTMX.com), was invited to the interview by Fred Schebesta, the CEO of Crypto Finder (Finder.com). Ariel has 18-year progressive executive experience in strategic planning, business development, budgeting and financial analysis risk management, regulatory program implementation, and process improvement for operational efficiency. She has an in-depth understanding of capital market products (stocks, fixed income, foreign exchange) in financial services and the development of international banking strategic trends (M&A, market structure, regulatory reforms and their impact). Her lustrous career on Wall Street made this interview a popular link on YouTube.
(Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYK-w2uxWc)
F: Do you believe this going to help bring more institutions into the space?
A: I am not very familiar with TokenSoft. It really depends on who are the backers, institutional backers of this venture. If the institutional backers of this venture are well regarded, are reputable, absolutely. Because at the end of day if you look at the value chain, the exchanges they are doing trading, they are doing broker dealer, they are doing wallet management themselves, and they are doing custody themselves. It becomes very nebulous. So for TokenSoft, they understand security token, which means under my prediction, it’s completely regulated just like securities. For securities, you must have a custody, and you must have a clearing house. Those are inevitable. So for them, they want to take a step ahead, and I also think that’s a smart move.
F: And we had T0 exchange launched just last week as well. Let’s get back to that question. From a broader base of adoption in the space, for 2019, Ariel, what’s your prediction in where those are going to be cleaned up?
A: I can’t predict the regulatory progress because it really comes down to how each step the government takes; sometimes it takes longer, and sometimes it takes shorter. And when the lawmaking takes place, it always takes more time to get implemented.
F: Yes. And we also talked about the digital asset, the tokenization of asset.
A: Yeah, when I’m looking at it, there are people always saying there’s coin, and there’s token. So I like to use the word: digital asset. So there’s one aspect of currency coin. Those are typical like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stable coins. So their functionality is actually getting interesting. The origin of Bitcoin is really a payment processing platform. So their development is kind of like FX. You can either hold it, hoping the value goes up, or use it to buy product and services. So they’re like foreign currencies. And there is the other aspect, securitized token. So the token itself would present, whether equity or debt, certain percentage of the underlying project or underlying venture. So for those, as long as they pass certain security test, they are treated as securities. From security trading perspective, if you look at how the Wall Street is structured, and how the US equity trading market is structured, it’s very simple. №1, You must have a broker dealer license in order to take the client order and to put on the risk; №2, all what exchanges do is order matching, and then providing liquidity to the market right? On the primary market it’s IPO, while on the secondary market it’s trading. And after the exchanges trade it, execute it, and then the clearing house comes in to make sure the books and records are verified. Money is moved from the banks to the brokerage accounts. And then the custody piece is that everybody can pick their own custody to hold the assets. So those are the components where I think for the US, the regulator has to make a very strong distinction between what will be subjected on CFCT, what is currency, or what is commodity, and then the rest of it falls under the SEC regime and what it takes — Is it the same as equity or slightly different? This I would think is similar to UK where the FCA has to think about as well. That leads to an interesting dynamic about utility token. This is where I don’t have a particular view, because utility token value is very diminished if you take the token outside of this particular platform. So it is designed to be used on a platform. So this is where I am actually interested in. I want to see how that gets developed from a regulatory perspective. And from a BitMax.io perspective, we put actually a bit more stringent requirement on ourselves. When we list a utility token and when we design it, we just follow the security markets. For example in US, that’s why you need a trusted custody structure just to support that. And in BitMax.io, it’s crypto to crypto; there is no fiat. So that aspect diminishes a little bit. And from a market trading manipulation surveillance perspective which is very heavy for equity, for example, if you trade anything, the regulator will get your report in real time, knowing every single step. So nobody could actually manipulate the market. We also take the same stand for our exchange. We monitor the volume, and we monitor trading behavior. If there’s someone abusing the market, meaning a robot or anything, we identify the account, we notify the account owners, saying whether it is wash trade or whether this is artificially to jag up the price and then dump it, and we give the time to correct. And if he/she doesn’t, we basically freeze the account. So the users can see that it is a fair market. We have probably applied this called market manipulation kind of rule. This is very classical for equity trading. Every single exchange must demonstrate the capability and behavior to do that.
F: OK. Two last things. You have been through four crises as you said through, like the dot-com bubble, Sarbanes Oxley, Lehman Brother collapse and European financial crisis. From your experience seeing all the rise and bust, where do you think we’re at in the cryptocurrency market.
A: I think this goes back to the trading aspect, depending on whether this is a V down or a U down or U curve. So the U curve is basically when the market collapses, it takes a longer time to find a bottom. It takes a longer time for the market to find the equilibrium. And once they find it, they rise up. Or, it’s like a quick collapse. It’s down very fast and reaches the bottom. And then, there’s some catalyst event, either catalyst from a market structure, or catalyst from the market expansion itself. Suddenly it gives a boost. And then it bounces right back up. So when I look at what is happening with digital asset or crypto trading, it’s a bubble to the extent, but it’s also a market correction. And I always compare this to the internet bubble to some extent, because I remember very vividly when I first started working in 1999 on the Wall Street, the Internet was so hot that you could get an IPO without even having a website. And Nasdaq peaked in basically 2000. But then, it collapsed. It took until 2015 for Nasdaq to reach back to the last peak. So you can see how many bubbles right about dot-com because people literally just forget about the economic valuation, the intrinsic business model that kind of aspects of it. So when you look at what happened in the crypto, the Bitcoin peaked at December of 2017. Around that period, there were many many projects that could raise money so easily. This is what we call air-projects. Do they really have fundamentals? Do they really have a viable business model? Do they really have a solid user base? If they do not have those three, then you would expect what would happen when people recognize the value of that token is not sustainable, going back to my finance view. When people see through that, with Bitcoin itself it’s going through a hard time, the rest of the altcoins are actually crushing a lot more dramatically than Bitcoin. So where do we see the balance, it is just my personal view that there are couple economic theories, and one of the theories is about cost. In the financial crisis, the worst, darkest day of banking crisis is the Lehman collapse. I was right in Lehman when they fell off the cliff. And then the domino went from Lehman to Morgan to every single bank. Every single bank felt the pressure. The bank stocks got depressed so hard. At that time one of the things from investors, especially those really smart traditional investors, was looking at the book value. So if the bank stock price, was lower than a quarter of book value, of course it was a value play. It’s below the cost, basically. So you go back to Bitcoin. Assuming it costs 3,000 dollars to mine a Bitcoin, maybe that’s where certain value investor will hold a view like from a valuation perspective that if the valuation is lower than what it takes to make it, it can be called a good value. So this is where it goes back to the market that from a trading perspective, the volatility you could see where there might be some breakthrough of different resistance levels. But at the end of day, it’s all about finding the equilibrium from a valuation perspective. When it hits there, then you will see the value investors come in. If it’s cheaper enough, there are more people who will probably look into it. So when it’s 20,000 for Bitcoin, do you know how many people can afford it? Maybe not, but what if it’s getting down 4000, 3000, and especially for certain countries are way more developed than certain countries, where people understand the liquidity and usage behind Bitcoin like you can use it, you can buy piece of coffee from Starbucks. Then it comes down to the value. So right now I think it really goes back to the fundamental from a finance perspective. It’s finding the valuation, the intrinsic value. Whether it’s currency token, or it’s an altcoin from a security type of token perspective.
F: Alright Ariel. That was incredible. We asked everybody on the show that what the price they think is going to be of Bitcoin on New Year’s Eve 2019 the clock strikes 12:00. We had a whole series of predictions last year in US dollars. What’s your prediction for the price of Bitcoin?
A: I think right now… hmm the Bitcoin right now is what? 35 hundred?
F: We are trading at 3468 dollars.
A: I don’t know. It’s crazy. I actually really like Bitcoin. I mean I like Bitcoin more now because it’s cheaper and I can buy it. But when you look at it before the crisis hit, I already hoped by the end of year if they could get back to 5000 I would be really happy, because it’s pretty much a psychologic level.
F: Okay.
A: Let’s hope for that.
F: Awesome. Ariel, thank you again for coming on to the show, and your incredible insight into the Wall Street market right now. And do check out guys on BitMax.io! We’ve got margin trading and some derivatives coming up, some new improvements we can see on the platform. Thank you very much again Ariel! We will see you guys TOMORROW!

tl:dr: The Nano block lattice is made up of blocks. Each complete transaction requires two blocks representing send and receive. Changing your representative requires only a single block. A block contains all the information required for managing your Nano and are signed with a private key so only the owner can make changes. They are assigned a unique code called a hash.
What is a block?
Blocks are one of the fundamental concepts in cryptocurrency, they are groups of data that are linked together and usually include the data that represents transactions and interactions. These blocks are verified by the network and committed into a distributed ledger after being confirmed. For example, in Bitcoin, blocks are verified and committed to the ledger through the mining process, and each block is linked to the next to form a chain.
Blocks in Nano
The Nano ledger is different; instead of a single chain for the whole ledger (where each block contains multiple transactions), in Nano each account has its own chain of blocks which are woven together through the process of making transactions to create a block lattice. The blocks in a Nano chain represent the changes that its owner, who holds the private key, has made to their account. These changes take one of the following forms:
Fig 1. Comparison between Bitcoin Blockchain and Nano Block Lattice
How does it work?
Originally Nano had 4 different block types: Open, Send, Receive and Change, each with slightly different layouts. However, these have been merged into a single block type called a State block. Each state block contains all the details of that single account, including the account’s address and balance, as well as details to help place the block in the correct position in its chain. A block is then authorised by a signature, created using the block details and the account’s private key.
Fig. 2 Components that go into a state block
The most recent block is called the head or frontier block as its at the front. With the introduction of state blocks it means that you only need this frontier block to know everything about the current state of account (apart from its pending blocks).
With all this data grouped together it is easy to make changes:
Notice that the amount transacted is not directly present in any block. To obtain this value, you need to subtract the block’s balance value, from the previous block’s balance.
Each block needs a proof of work value; this is the resulting value following a time consuming mathematical calculation and will be discussed in detail in a future Nano How), The basis of this system is that it is hard to generate the value but easy to check if the value is valid. Interestingly, the proof of work value is actually not included in the signature of the block and could be calculated after the block is generated (but it needs to be present before the block is broadcast).
An example of a state block:
{"block":"{"type":"state", "account":"xrb_3igf8hd4sjshoibbbkeitmgkp1o6ug4xads43j6e4gqkj5xk5o83j8ja9php", "previous": "597395E83BD04DF8EF30AF04234EAAFE0606A883CF4AEAD2DB8196AAF5C4444F", "representative":"xrb_3p1asma84n8k84joneka776q4egm5wwru3suho9wjsfyuem8j95b3c78nw8j", "balance":"3000000000000000000000000000001", "link":"5C2FBB148E006A8E8BA7A75DD86C9FE00C83F5FFDBFD76EAA09531071436B6AF", "signature":"D7975EE2F6FAE1FC7DA336FB9DD5F7E30FC1A6825021194E614F0588073D1A4901E34E3CAE8739F1DE2FD85A73D2A0B26F8BE6539E0548C9A45E1C1887BFFC05", "work":"0000000000000000"}"}
It is important to note that the nodes in the network check the blocks to make sure that all the details line up and will reject an incorrect block - it is not possible to just create a new block with a larger balance then has been sent to you.
Why does Nano have a Send and Receive block?
Every account has its own chain and this chain can only be changed with blocks signed by the private key. Therefore when someone sends you Nano they create a new block with a reduced balance and a destination address but they can not change your chain, instead the funds remain in limbo (known as pending) until you create a corresponding receive block and increase your balance proportionally. There is no limit to how long the funds can stay pending.

Atriark Digital Asset Platform and Services.
In the year 2017, the digital crypto market has marked an outstanding height by growing at 3300%. Although, the cryptocurrencies involves some fundamental steps like money transactions, value accumulation, value measurement by passing through a process. Currently, the cryptocurrencies are considered as the assets for the investment, not as money.
In a year of time, the cryptocurrency had faced many up and downs despite that the cryptocurrency investors had set a record in the year 2018. One such significant event is ICO telegram, in which around $1.6 billion was raised from the institutional investors.
According to the CME Group, the volume of Bitcoin is growing every month in the financial institutions since after the launch. On an average, around $100 million Bitcoin is traded on the daily basis. In-fact PayPal, the largest online payment system has recognized the power of Bitcoin and is using it as a form of payment, sooner Ethereum will also join the system. Shopify, an online store and a retail point-of-sale also accept the Bitcoin as a payment medium.
Using Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, the user can book and order the products and also can use the services of the other companies.
As per 2017’s data, the cryptocurrency market is small as compared to the orthodox markets. The security market has made $73 trillion, the real estate at $217 trillion, and in the complete verge, the cryptocurrency market has made $0.6 trillion which shows the market is just at its beginning days. In case, it runs at its full potential then it is possible that the cryptocurrency will run the financial system of the world. So, it can be safe to say that cryptocurrency has the potential to give significant growth to the market.
The evolution has brought the attention of many new investors, marketers, in the lure of growth. In the market, a new term “HODL” has already born which means the crypto community members who hold their cryptocurrency and the investment position and predicts that it will increase the value. It is very similar in the way, the businesses, investors who do not want to invest in the assets but still want to earn profits and need credit solutions.
Fiat cryptocurrency gives the opportunity to earn more or generate revenue from the cryptocurrency market.
Atria Development Limited operates on the Blockchain technology and smart contracts on the platform. The platform gathers the brokers, traders, investors, and exchanges over a decentralized network. The open and fair network makes the financial system more global.
In this way, private investors get an open platform to showcase their abilities and attract investments from all over the world. Hence, the strategy gives them a quick and rapid scale in the market.
The advanced technology creates an autonomous and transparent system for its users for proper investment and profit distribution. Atriark gives the most imperative solutions of the redundant problems which arise commonly in the cryptocurrency market. For example, the limitlessness because of insufficient data, doubts in the process and lack of transparency.
For the development of the platform, it is very crucial to raise the fund against it which will help the Atriark platform financially especially in terms of marketing, advertising. Atriark is the native currency of the platform which is used for all kind of operations or distributions related to investment and profit.
Market Opportunities So who are these people who participate in these Business processes:
Business Associates
The traders of a company are those people who already have a trading history and who are ready to obtain investment and are responsible for money management. And the money acquired through them is distributed at some proportion to the managers as well as the investors. Though, the manager does receive the commission from the profit fee plus from the management also.
Business Investors Here in the cryptocurrency platform, no investor can directly raise their funds and start trading. Rather an experienced trader is responsible for all this job, from investment to management of the fund. In this process, the investor sends their money to the manager and the profit earned by them is distributed to the investor as per shares they hold.
Trading Brokers
A company without brokers, not happening. As brokers are like the backbone who carry out all the trading activities on the licence. Traders can access the financial instruments like exchange and over-the-counter markets through the means of the traders.
The size of the cryptocurrency market is growing rapidly, every year the market is earning billions of profit. According to the Global Asset Management 2017 report, published by the London Consulting Group is that the total amount of funds is above $90 trillion in the management.
Industry Challenges
To reach a goal there are some challenges which need to be resolved. But before that one should have the knowledge of the problems like what are they, specifications, parameters affecting it and much more.
Premium mining hardware One can take advantage of the crypto mining only when it is done with specific task hardware especially by A-line hardware. At present ASIC-processor based machines For eg: Bitmain Antminer S9.
High-cost Electricity and Unstable energy supply
The main factor which affects the profitability of the platform is its cutting cost on power. There are some countries like Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Baltics which have excess electricity because of the fully-developed inter connectivity and infrastructure, as well as renewable energy sources. The platform receives the profit from hi-tech factories and data centers in the form of incentives from the government support.
Security and Reliability
The maximum mining efficiency is obtained without compromising the reliability and security. The mining center is located near a reliable source of electricity. The miners mine almost twenty-five bitcoins in a day at difficulty level. So it is very important for a platform to provide security to the user.
Top-Notch Professionals
It involves a team of highly-skilled engineers and construction experts to run the mining center on the modest run. The team boasts the competencies and qualifications of the platform to build, install and operate on the industrial-sized mining facilities. Members of the Atriark have managed to create the data centers Market Requirements
The power Blockchain holds is quite more than a definition of cryptocurrency holds. Maybe the crowd haven’t tasted that much success, it can give. And that time is not that far where the ledgers will identify its true potential. The blockchain technology is continuously evolving and making the world revolutionize at its cost by bringing the transparency in the system. Especially in those industries where analysis by the public is important. At the international level, where the world is full of multiple agreements based on the diplomacy and to accept them multiple examinations are performed. To avoid them there is only one way i.e Blockchain technology.
It can be completely guessed, sooner the way of conducting the contracts is going to change because of the revolution brought by the blockchain technology in the market. It can be simply defined as a chain of blocks or the set of ongoing transactions which help the manufacturer to track the record of the system. These blocks are often named as distributed logs or the versatile ledgers of the multiparty system. Through this means anyone in the system can take a view of the chain and verify the transaction agreements on the system.
There are multiple sectors which need a renovation of blockchain technology:
Retail Industry
The reports of E&Y shows that the retailing industry holds the gross size of around $650 billion and above. And a major part of this gross size is under an organised sector. Also, the figure in the report states that only 1.5 % of that size is utilized for the innovation purpose. For this, the retail management takes hold on the ERP and POS at the corporate level.
The technology will make the company aware of the quantity of the product and the exact item in the real time. This makes the reinforcement and replenishment will be sent exactly where it needs to be sent. It means when the reinforcement is required it can be made through POS which signifies the ERP will trigger the flag to shop the item which needs to fill in the store. And this can be done easily by implementing the blockchain technology in the system unbiased.
Healthcare
Blockchain has the ability to eradicate most of the health disparity from the nation. It can be beneficial for the poor, the person who doesn’t have Health insurance can utilize the technology by denying all the scenarios. But for that, the social security number must be linked to generate the subsets by the government on the ongoing transaction such that the insurance giving company and the treatment giving hospital gets connected and the right treatment on right time is provided to the patient. In case there is a failure in the verification, then every node in the chain gets to know or vice-versa. So that each node in the chain executes the transaction.
Banking Sector
One of the important aspects of any import based industry is the banking credit. So for the customer base, the credit is directly linked to the bank or the issued letter on that behalf. For example, An Y company wish to get connected with Z company which is not a native one. In this scenario, the Y company have to generate a letter of intent in his bank such that the company can pay the amount to the respective bank of Z after verification. Although, the verification takes in several steps like matching the inventory of the company, clearance whether it can be imported or not. Although, the blockchain technology gives the facility of EMI payments plus minimises the data redundancy at the multiple facets of the system on international banking.
It’s obvious, why there is so much evidence of companies inheriting the blockchain technology and why the cryptocurrency is popular in between us. The most prominent reason is that the process is decentralized, anonymous and yet safe. It is because of not a single body regulates or authorities the cryptocurrency flow in the world. Technology To monetize the real-time transactions and to receive the updated order book, it becomes necessary for the company to install the advanced technology. So that the trade execution can be done simultaneously on the platform along with resolving the challenges. For example, Scalping, Algorithmic trading and market making. Client Support
Most of the platforms take customer service in the least priority. In fact, the customer service model is more focused on the resolving issue rather than serving the user. The time taken by the services to respond to the customer is generally so high that the user gets fed up and left. Even there are some exchanges are present which doesn’t even bother to respond the inquiries. There are a number of examples which takes almost a month to clear the process. For example Kraken, one of the leading exchange company which takes 30 days for KYC clearance.
Hence, the Atriark’s customer support team has implemented the customer service which is completely based on the human-centrist model. This ensures that every coming request irrespective of the department it belongs is efficiently managed and responded. Studies show that the customer exchange response is the key factor when it is all about the growth of the trades.
