The Future of Smart Contracts in 2019 &Beyond!

Blockchain development is progressing faster with each passing year.

Where Ethereum was considered revolutionary in 2014, the Ethereum blockchain’s underlying technology has since been superseded by projects like EOS and Cardano.
However, it’s not just core blockchain technologies which are evolving, The use case and technology underpinning Smart Contracts first pioneered on Ethereum are evolving also.

Smart Contracts are Taking on More Complex Use Cases

Smart Contracts were initially presented to the world as alternatives to traditional Escrow services. More importantly, this use case is just as relevant today as it ever was. However, Smart Contracts are already capable of much more than just rule and penalty based automatic asset transfers.

Smart Contracts & AI

In an exciting recent development for future Smart Contracts, a new Artificial
Intelligence-based platform called Cortex, promises to bring executable AI equipped Smart Contracts to the cryptocurrency market.

Coded in Solidity just like regular Ethereum Smart Contracts, Cortex AI Smart
Contracts can be used to perform several autonomous functions. (Including
predicting the outcome of sporting events with an 80% accuracy rate.) Future AI Smart Contracts could, therefore, be used in several FX trading and international commodity market trading scenarios, in a similar way to automated trading bots.

Smart Contracts & Derivatives Trading

In 2018, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association proposed that Smart Contracts could be used to streamline mainstream financial market derivative trading. Specifically, by using Smart Contracts to transfer potential derivative trading risks between traders and organizations automatically. Barclays bank in the UK has since confirmed that using Smart Contracts in this way could boost interbank derivatives trading efficiency by up to 25%

Smarter Digital Copyright Management

While not a new idea, protecting copyright using Smart Contracts is gradually
becoming possible.Using a process called “Trusted Timestamping” blockchain technology and Smart Contracts will soon be able to assert the intellectual rights of content creators, by applying digital fingerprints to web content and media.

Multi-Asset-Trading Possibilities

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is gradually piquing the attention of major institutional investors. However, at present, it is not possible to directly trade coins like Bitcoin for real international commodity market assets like gold and crude oil.

In an attempt to make multi-asset trading possible, new decentralized exchanges like UPROSE, plan to use Smart Contracts to tokenize real world commodities and foreign currencies. Using smart contracts in this way will not only democratize trading but also, make it possible to instantly exchange real-world commodities for cryptocurrency and fiat cash, without any need for separate broker accounts or consideration of international trade restrictions.

Can we discuss the slippery slope of centralized exchanges having too much power?

Like many of us here, I've been in crypto since late 2012. At the time the ethos was different. It was less about making a buck and more about decentralization and a term I don't see often in these circles anymore, liberty.

With recent events surrounding BSV delisting, I am quite disturbed how much it seems the mainstream crypto audience is cheering for these so called leaders and authorities. And I don't even support BSV at all, at most it is a worthwhile social experiment.

If wealth and specifically, power, continues to centralize at the top...we will be repeating the mistakes of the past..maybe over the next 100 years so it's worth it for us now but I don't know, maybe that is destiny.

I'm a long time power user of various DEXs and I'm hopeful for the future with projects like Resistance going mainstream, on-chain order books existing, and atomic swaps becoming more and more usable. Seeing the waves of people so gladly follow CZ has disturbed me, even though I use Binance. I am weary of this industry's future if this trend continues. There will eventually need to be a cleansing and multi-year bear to restore the original purpose of this revolution..else the Bitcoin experiment is likely to fail by many of the older adopters definition.

Not your keys. Not your coins. Become sovereign or stand to lose everything.

Recent events have been a real eye opener and Bitcoin finally makes sense to me. Thanks to BSV I can see that crypto exists only on exchanges while BSV exists in the real world! So I have just bought 17.5 Bitcoins, aside from holding what are some cool things I can do with BSV? Educate me!

What Is Bitcoin: The Beginners Guide

Bitcoin has risen from obscurity to one of the biggest buzzes on the globe. By today Bitcoin has settled in people’s lives quite firmly. If you are looking for a guide about all of the basic, yet essential stuff related to Bitcoin – this article is just for you.

So what is Bitcoin? Basically, it is a form of digital currency which is used and distributed electronically.

For a long time, experts in the field of cryptography have been working on the creation of a unique decentralized system of payment. But only in 2008 during a huge financial crisis, Satoshi Nakamoto created the world's first cryptocurrency – Bitcoin. Nakamoto published a file with the Bitcoin protocol and briefly described the features of the new payment system. Actually, no one knows who Satoshi really is and it’s still a mystery whether it is one person or a group of developers. Anyway, the goal of the technology was to create a new electronic cash system that was completely decentralized with no server or central authority. As a result, the new currency should have increased the protection against scammy transactions, the independence from financial institutions and the ability to use currency anonymously.

In the spring of 2010, Laszlo Hanech made the first payment with Bitcoin for his pizza order. He paid 10,000 BTC for this delivery. We sincerely hope the pizza was good. Just imagine how much he could earn today if he hasn't eaten these digital coins?

Bitcoin is fundamentally different from all the previously created electronic currencies and payment systems. It is not tied to any physical asset or "official" fiat currencies and the price of BTC is regulated exclusively by the market demand and supply. Bitcoin has a big similarity to gold — it is limited. Its number is restricted to 21,000,000 BTC, while in 2019 about 17,600,000 BTC was mined, so it’s more than 83% of the total amount.

Let’s go through the main characteristics and advantages of the first digital currency.

Decentralized. This means that Bitcoin is not regulated by any bank or government entity. It is designed so that every person, business, as well as every machine involved in mining and transaction verification, become part of a vast network. Moreover, even if some part of the network goes down, the currency will keep moving.
Anonymous. There is no need to share any personal information while making transactions with BTC.
Transparent. Every single BTC transaction that has ever happened is stored in the Blockchain. However, tracing a particular Bitcoin address to a person is still nearly impossible.
Speed. The Bitcoin network processes payments almost instantly, it normally takes just a few minutes for someone on the other side of the world to receive the coins, while usual bank transfers can take several days.
Ease of use. To open an account in a bank - it’s not a fast and easy process. And there is a chance that in the end, you can get a refusal without explanation. With Bitcoin, you can forget about this problem: you only need five minutes to create a Bitcoin wallet and immediately start using it. No questions, no fees.
Non-refundable. Once you send your Bitcoins to someone, there is no way of getting them back, unless the recipient would want to send them back to you. This ensures the reception of the payment, meaning that whoever you’re trading with can’t scam you by claiming that they never got the money.

However, Bitcoin has some weak points including the following:

Legal questions. The legal status of Bitcoin varies drastically from country to country. In some countries, the use and trade of BTC are encouraged, while in others it is banned and outlawed.
Volatility. Unstable exchange rate reduces the potential of BTC as a payment option.
Continuous development. The future of Bitcoin is rather unclear. Currently, the governments and banks are not able to control BTC, it’s almost unregulated. However, the bigger and more popular it gets, the more world governments will try to take it under control. A regulated and governed Bitcoin would be an entirely different kind of currency.

To sum up, Bitcoin is the currency which marked the beginning of a revolutionary financial era. Whether you are looking for an anonymous way to pay, want freedom from high transaction fees, or are just curious about this digital currency, now is the perfect time to join the Bitcoin revolution. By the way, the Stealthex exchange service is here to help. It’s possible to exchange your coins to BTC and vice versa on Stealthex. The platform is anonymous, limitless and allows you to swap 200+ cryptocurrencies.

Seriously,

Last time we hit $20k in 2017 the bitcoin network was so crowded with transactions the fees to transfer bitcoin were ridiculously high, not only that, it literally would take a whole day for a transaction to be processed in the Bitcoin Network and that was only at $20k.

What will happen to the network once we hit $50k and even more people start using it, last time I check there has not been any updates to the network and the lighting network is far from being used.

I even remember the Bitcoin Foundation stopped taking bitcoin for their event in miami back in 2017 because the network was so crowded and the fees were just too high, a bitcoin event had to stop taking bitcoin itself just because it was that crowded, just let that sink in.

With a bigger bull market bitcoin will probably be just impossible to use. Since more people will be using it on the next bull market and from the 2017 to now nothing has changed in the bitcoin network.

5 TPS is going to be really bad for mass adoption.

Change my mind about this.

[uncensored-r/BitcoinMarkets] An IEO is expected to float with the plan to list a total of 18.1 percent of the tokens for sale

The following post by RolandoGleason is being replicated because the post has been silently removed.

The original post can be found(in censored form) at this link:

np.reddit.com/r/ BitcoinMarkets/comments/bdt2lw

The original post's content was as follows:

A Bulgarian based platform dubbed Evedo intends to place the entire event industry on blockchain permanently to get rid of all the middlemen. The company is on the verge of launching an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) targetting Asia this month. Evedo has officially joined hands with BitForex exchange and hopes to raise $2.5 million to further develop their product.

An IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is more or less similar to an ICO, just that an IEO offers a token sale by partnering with an exchange instead of directly offering tokens to investors. Elena Kalpakchieva - CMO of Evedo at the time of signing the contract with BitForex stated that "Our IEO will tackle the Asian market primarily as we are now working on closing a deal with two of the biggest exchanges, both of them focused on China, Singapore, Japan, Russia, and Korea." It was further informed that the platform also targets the US and European markets.

The Founder and CEO of Evedo, Stoyan Angelov originally belongs from the event industry. Apart from being the founder of Evedo, Mr. Angelov is also the co-founder of a well-reputed event agency named Fly events. As a part of his job, Mr. Angelov came across various problems that organizers go through to connect and coordinate with the participants, book artists, venues, etc. Evedo was formed to eliminate such obstacles.

Angelov says "We aim to build a true ecosystem that will help the $850B+ event industry grow by connecting all parties without unnecessary middlemen." He further went on to inform that Evedo now has a team of 8 professionals who mainly want to put all that on a blockchain while regulating the relations between stakeholders using smart contracts.

From L to R: Anton Aladzhov (Chief Creative Officer), Elena Kalpakchieva - Kalpa (Chief Marketing Officer), Stoyan Anglelov (CEO)

Evedo involves both B2B and B2C marketplaces involving every single participant required for organizing an event. Evedo further clarifies that although venues, artists, techniques, and rental firms, catering firms, sponsors, etc. are majorly part of B2B marketplaces, the main B2C players are the organizers, promoters, and attendees.

Evedo's main role concerning consumer space is to buy and sell tickets along with marketing events to potential audiences. According to team Evedo, B2C platforms alpha version will float this week before the IEO. According to Evan Luthra - serial Indian entrepreneur "The Evedo project seems strong, and it's tackling a big market. I am looking forward to the upcoming IEO of Evedo as it makes sense not only in terms of my investment portfolio but for the global change in the event industry." Further, the firm already has captivated advisors like Jonathan Yunger (Director - Millennium Films) and Jammie Jeremedjev (Managing Partner - Lemon Bush).

At present, Evedo dwells in Thailand where it is also taking part in the Master Venture accelerator. Kalpakchieva says "Master Venture's accelerator and our VC are both based in Asia – Hong Kong and Thailand. The reason for our journey in Thailand is to gain further connections and reputation in the blockchain community in Asia." She further notes that the blockchain community is widespread which helps Evedo polish the product.

Crypto Economy for Notary Node 2019 - 50% RevShare - Help us to promote KMD adoption

Voting address: RXxDVSpCyWEn2bkVGAauAQDugX9UgWYLUM

https://i.redd.it/51nq3lrjxls21.jpg

WHO WE ARE

Crypto Economy is an independent multilingual platform dedicated to blockchain technology and the vast world of cryptocurrencies, in which we share and analyze the latest news about existing and future projects in the sector.

Our platform not only provides information but also gives added value to users in the form of useful applications on the site. Such as our mining profitability calculator; a prices tracking section of the top 100 of the main cryptocurrencies updated in real time; or our list of ICOs with a useful countdown set to be informed about the relevant dates of each phase of the projects. We continue working on new and interesting tools to offer attractive and valuable content to our readers.

We are a team with true enthusiasm for Bitcoin and all other projects in the ecosystem and we are sure of the benefits that the adoption of Blockchain technology can provide. With over 6 years of experience in the sector, passionate in our purpose to raise awareness about the existence of this technology.

As a media site, we are a young project, growing since 2016 that makes us very positive about the potential of our diffusion throughout the world, with thousands of direct visits per day and thousands of followers in our social networks.

Crypto Economy and Komodo Platform

Crypto Economy team has followed the steps of the Komodo project since its inception, its main members were already followers of the Bitcoin Dark project and participated as investors in the Komodo ICO in 2016.

As a crypto-digital media, we were supporting the Komodo project in its earliest phase to promote its adoption, since we believe that privacy is a fundamental pillar that should guide an important part of the developments in the field of cryptocurrencies.

That is why in our mining profitability calculator we only added coins to mine focused on these beliefs, and therefore, KMD was one of the first ones to be added and get their place in it on its own merits.

Just a thought

The recent events like CSW suing individuals like hodlnaut make all the drama about bitcoin/scaling/forking less look like a centrally controlled conspiracy and more like the outcome of several independent powerhungry individuals/groups fighting for influence.

Gnosis FAQ — Updated April, 2019

What is Gnosis?

Gnosis was founded by Martin Köeppelmann and Stefan George, who previously led the creation of Fairlay.com, a centralized Bitcoin prediction market. The Gnosis initial coin offering was launched in April of 2017 with the overarching goal to build new market mechanisms on blockchain-based, decentralized platforms, to facilitate the redistribution of resources—from assets to incentives, and information to ideas.

What is our product strategy?

Our interoperable product suite is designed to give you three core capabilities: create, trade, and hold. Our platforms let you create prediction markets and conditional tokens—a new asset class with richer semantic capabilities that makes the outcome of any future event tradable. Trade those assets (and others) using fully decentralized market mechanisms (DutchX and dFusion protocol). And hold those (and other) assets in the Gnosis Safe.

Does Gnosis still work on prediction markets?

Decentralized prediction markets have always been — and continue to be — our core product at Gnosis. But they’re not the only thing we’ve been working on. We have our hands in a few different product areas — notably decentralized trading protocols (DutchX) and token storage (Gnosis Safe). Since our ICO, we have shifted some of our focus to these platforms to provide necessary trading infrastructure for our prediction market platform. In particular, these technologies are designed to increase liquidity and streamline the onboarding process. However, we have still made substantial progress on our prediction market platforms. We have already released Apollo, our v1.0 prediction market smart contract repository. And we are currently releasing a full re-design of these contracts called Gnosis Markets.

Learn more about Gnosis Markets, formerly called PM v2.0, here.

What are conditional tokens?

Conditional tokens are a kind of prediction market token that represents a payout if and only if one or many conditions are met. With conditional tokens, you can create a market that looks at how the likelihood of an event is affected by any other event. For example, how is the probability of a global recession affected by a trade war between the United States and China over the next year? They also let you trade an asset under the condition that a specific event happens. For example, you can buy a tokenized equivalent of the British Pound but only under the condition that no hard Brexit happens. For market observers, conditional tokens provide generic prediction markets with greater semantic capabilities, by surfacing asset prices in many possible and interdependent futures.

What is the DutchX?

The DutchX is a fully-decentralized, ERC20 token trading protocol that uses the Dutch auction mechanism to ensure a fairer price for buyers and sellers. It is designed to be a protocol for interactive use by other smart contracts or decentralized applications. Unlike other exchange mechanisms, it works fully on-chain and boasts resilience to front-running and order collusion.

Check out DutchX documentation and a short video explaining how the DutchX works.

What is the dFusion Protocol?

dFusion is a token trading protocol that uses zero knowledge proofs for enhanced scalability and a multi-token batch auction format to boost liquidity and price accuracy. To support multi-token auctions, dFusion uses ring trades which let assets move in more complex ways. For instance, if someone wants A for B, someone else wants B for C, and the last someone wants C for A, the trade can still take place. In this way, the dFusion order book is multi-dimensional.

To learn more check out this talk by Benjamin Smith at EthCC Paris 2019.

What is the Gnosis Safe and Multisig?

The Gnosis Safe is an Ethereum wallet providing users with a secure way to manage their digital assets and interact with the decentralized web. Rather than using “externally owned accounts” (EOAs) on Ethereum — as most crypto wallets do — the Gnosis Safe operates entirely with smart contracts. This allows for features, such as: multi-factor authentication for transactions, improved integration and interaction with dapps, and advanced recovery methods. The Gnosis Safe contracts have been formally verified.

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property. This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions that were provided long ago (like a will or a futures contract), all without a middle man or counterparty risk [1].

Gnosis currently builds applications on Ethereum.

What is a prediction market?

A prediction market allows users to buy and trade binary positions on the outcome of any arbitrary event. "According to most experts in economics and finance, speculative markets are exemplary info institutions. That is, active speculative markets do very well at inducing people to acquire info, share it via trades, and collect that info into consensus prices that persuade wider audiences." (Hanson 2013) In other words, prediction markets provide an alternative, and potentially more accurate, oracle for the outcome of future events as well as for the reporting of the outcomes of past events.

What is the difference between Gnosis and Augur?

The two main differences are:

Gnosis is a platform for prediction market applications. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for 3rd party developer to build prediction market applications which are all based on the same liquidity pool.
As a platform Gnosis is oracle agnostic. We support all kinds of oracles, centralized, decentralized, or combinations.

Find more details in this blogpost (https://blog.gnosis.pm/the-difference-between-gnosis-and-augur-c08077271a8e#.f7pjwv2bp)

Will all prediction markets be priced in Gnosis tokens?

No—a market creator can choose any token they like—all Gnosis prediction market platforms are currency/token agnostic. Gnosis tokens are only relevant for the fees that the Gnosis system will charge. It will always be possible for an end user to use a Gnosis application without caring about Gnosis tokens. However, our two token model (GNO and OWL) provides significant advantages to token holders on our platforms.

Will Gnosis be available on other Blockchains other than Ethereum?

Our primary objective is to build a successful prediction market platform. Currently, Ethereum seems to be the best choice in blockchain to achieve this goal. That being said, we can also imagine a future in which a platform like Gnosis can become blockchain agnostic and operate across multiple underlying blockchains.

Why are there two tokens and what is the difference between GNO and OWL?

There are two separate tokens on Gnosis platforms, which accomplish two separate functions. Broadly, GNO is used to incentivize long-term participation and adoption for the platforms, while OWL is used to interact with the platforms.

OWL can be used to pay platform fees or contribute liquidity like in the case of the DutchX. The value of OWL will be pegged to $1 USD worth of fees. OWL tokens are generated by locking GNO during OWL Generation Events. Learn more about the use cases of our tokens here.

What are we doing with the GNO tokens that were not sold in the auction?

The GNO tokens that were not sold during our ICO will serve three main purposes including supporting and subsidizing applications building on top of Gnosis, and long term incentivization of Gnosis employees.

What is the relationship between Gnosis and ConsenSys?

Gnosis is its own independent company but we have a strong relationship with ConsenSys. This includes ConsenSys holding equity in the Gnosis entity and vice versa, Gnosis founders and early employees will hold equity in ConsenSys. Most importantly, Gnosis will utilize many ConsenSys services, projects, connections, and other benefits.

How many GNO tokens are there?

The total amount of GNO tokens is fixed to 10 million. The amount of OWL is flexible and depends on platform usage.

Investment Rules and Trading Strategies for Cryptocurrencies Part 2

You definitely have a friend who made a lot of money trading cryptocurrencies back in 2017 when the market was in a bull run. Even though he made good profits, was he really a good trader and investor? What defines a good trader? A good trader is someone who has a strong trading system and is self-discipline. One that is guided by probability and not possibility. Excelling well in trading using technical analysis also requires strong risk management.

Aside to the volatility, the cryptocurrency market is not very different from the traditional stock market as people make the market. Human psychology does not change, traders/investors today still face the same emotions of fear and greed.

This article will comprise of a three part series, going through 15 trading rules to follow when trading cryptocurrencies. If you have not read Part 1, this is the link to the first article, Click here

We hope this article will give you the right knowledge to help you build up a strong trading system.

Golden Rule No. 6

Buy the dips during the bull market!

https://i.redd.it/mdp6b8ls8ls21.jpg

Bitcoin was in a bull run in 2017 and there were lots of buying opportunities. In a bull run, when there are price pullbacks, it is the best time to load in more Bitcoins. That way you are able to increase your position size.

Golden Rule No. 7

Let your profits ride higher!

https://i.redd.it/8x0jlpzt8ls21.jpg

Trading in the crypto space is high rewards and high returns. There was a trader who entered a trade for Ripple at $1.00 and sold at $1.30 after a few days, it was a great trade with 30% profits! However in the next few weeks, Ripple prices rose to $3!

One must adjust the profit percentage higher as trading cryptocurrencies are higher risk and therefore should set higher profit margins.

When you take profits, you should be humble and grateful for the good trade. Never let ego and pride take control of the trading.

Golden Rule No. 8

Never be the last to take profits!

https://i.redd.it/7copfq6w8ls21.jpg

When your trades are profitable, it is good to take profits. One method is called laddering when you start taking profits along the way and downsize your positions. This also reduces the emotions if prices fall back down.

It is time to be pound wise and not penny wise. If you are near your profit target, you should start taking profits rather than waiting for the exact price to hit the target.

Golden Rule No. 9

Be impatient with your losing trades!

https://i.redd.it/2o447pgx8ls21.jpg

There is a commonly known term in the crypto space which is “HODL” that stands for hold on for dear life. This term came about because crypto prices are so volatile and traders have to stomach big losses by holding, and ride out the volatile market and hopefully one day make a profit.

This term HODL is actually not a good mentality for traders to hold on to losing trades. Trading requires discipline and setting of stop losses. If the stop loss is hit, have to cut your positions. In 2018, some of tokens loss about 90% of their valuation which can wipe out the entire portfolio just by holding.
