  1. When we talk about cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology, we should be witnessing an infectious adoption on a global scale. These technologies can further enhance self-governance, thereby improving the security in the world. The obvious ensuing step that should be taken is a mainstream adoption of this technology.

     

    There are a good number of reasons why mainstream adoption hasn’t been achieved yet. One of these reasons is that cryptocurrency and Blockchain inventors are yet to create a singular product that can function as a sort of Blockchain ecosystem. Such a product is sure to gain acceptance on a global scale.

     

    This is the concept the Telegram Open Network is aiming to achieve. This guide aims to educate the reader on what the Telegraph Open Network (TON) is and how it is positioning itself to achieve global mainstream adoption.

     

    What Is Telegram Open Network (TON)?
    The Telegram Open Network will be a game-changer for social messaging. The Blockchain is a project born of social media behemoth, Telegram, which will be launched at the end of October.

     

    So far, a total of $1.7 billion has been raised in funding for this project through 200 private investors via an Initial Coin Offering. This project can be a very lucrative venture for new investors to hop on considering the insane amount of users that the platform has. One of the major focuses of this project will be on Blockchain scaling. Blockchain scaling has lasting issues stalking the crypto space and TON claims to have the remedy to this.

     

    The major challenge facing Existing Blockchains is its inability to scale enough to process large amounts of transactions suitable for mass adoption.

     

    TON is also planning to provide adequate security for users. The primary goal of this technology is to boost cryptocurrency adoption across the globe and this would be impossible if they fail to provide round-the-clock security and insurance for its users. The decentralized nature of TON is going to be of great essence to this cause.

     

    The Telegram Open Network project is not some other conventional ICO. This technology is also not built on any pre-existing Blockchain, instead, TON comes with its very Blockchain, the TON Blockchain. This system also has its cryptocurrency, GRAM coin, its consensus mechanism, and its virtual machine.

    The native coin, GRAM, can be utilized for several functions on the Blockchain including micro-payments, providing access to DApps, payment of fees and also, generating value for messages via the Telegram Messenger app.

     

    This Blockchain boasts of being able to facilitate transactions in a matter of seconds with limited or no charges. The TON platform comprises of a Blockchain and 292 supplementary networks. The Blockchain will possess the ability to support “sharding technology”, which is guaranteed to improve transaction speeds.

     

    Sharding is a method for splitting the whole network into a bunch of compartments called shards, that incorporate their autonomous piece of state and transaction history. The central principle behind sharding is to conduct transactions in a parallel manner to distinguish data into several small Blockchains that can communicate with one another.

     

    The public Blockchain also features a decentralized application platform and a peer-to-peer sharing and hosting economy.

     

    In the Telegram Open Network’s white paper statement, the Company is planning on merging the messaging app platform with a wide array of other characteristics. The function will be most useful for knowledgeable crypto users.

     

    History of TON
    Back in 2013, some tech enthusiasts yearned to create a system that offers freedom by way of encryption. This was the desire that makes TON a reality today. TON was created to sustain a stringent independent nature and also to be a not-for-profit entity. The company followed in the of its mentor, Wikipedia, by creating a ‘.org’ domain to accentuate its non-commercial nature even further.

     

    Telegram is an instant messaging cloud-based voice-over-IP service that was created by Telegram Messenger LLP. The founding fathers of the company are Pavel Durov and Nikolai Durov.

     

    The ideology of substantial decentralization by the founding fathers is also witnessed in the physical foundation of TON. The company makes use of a server design that is scattered across several independent server clusters to guarantee data encryption.

     

    Due to impressive features like encryption, speed, and autonomy, Telegram witnessed an extensive reception from millions of users in just a few months after its release. Subsequently, Telegram has evolved into a system that grosses over 12 updates in a year. In the first quarter of 2016, the system had 100 million active users and was delivering as much as 15 billion messages daily.

     

    In the last quarter of 2017, the system received 170 million new users and was delivering as much as 70 billion messages daily basis. As of March of 2018 Telegram had 200 million active users. As of today, 500,000 users are added to the platform daily basis. Experts claim that these figures are only going to continue growing exponentially manner over the years.

    Telegram says it is planning on using these remarkable figures to facilitate the widespread adoption of its cryptocurrency.

     

    Features of TON
    Information about the protocol as well as information about validators and their balances are stored on the Blockchain. Unlike most cryptocurrencies, GRAM does not provide support for mining, instead, the validity of transactions on the platform are determined by ‘validators’ who receive a small commission for every completed task.

     

    There are also ‘working’ Blockchains which enables the user conduct smart contracts. These Blockchains are configured with different rules and make use of various Virtual Machines to execute the smart contracts.

     

    Based on its white paper release, the Telegram Open Network will have several components including:

    1- TON proxy:
    This is a mechanism on the network that will help users mask their identities and create a decentralized virtual private network (VPN) to guarantee online privacy. This mechanism is done in a bid to ensure that the services being provided, including Telegram, has adequate protection form censorship.

     

    2- TON storage:
    This is described as a file storing mechanism used for the storage of arbitrary files that possess torrent-like access technology and contracts used to implement availability.

     

    3- TON services:
    This is an inaugurated platform that will be used to guarantee decentralized browsing experience and also for smart contracts.

     

    4- TON DNS:
    This feature will allow for access to available decentralized services to its users by designating accounts with human-readable labels.

     

    5- TON payments:
    This will provide support for instant off-chain payments within the network. It also features in-built safeguards to ensure security when conducting transfers, making sure that these transactions are as secure as on-chain transactions.

     

    6- TON virtual machine:
    This is the mechanism that facilitates smart contracts on the network.

    What Is GRAM Cryptocurrency?
    For a Blockchain to function properly, there has to be a native cryptocurrency. Telegram has issued GRAM as the base cryptocurrency for TON. This coin will function mainly as part of the in-app ecosystem on Telegram and will be used as a means for payment. The external use of this coin is still yet to be confirmed.

     

    GRAM is built on a proof-of-stake protocol and protected using “smart contracts”. This will allow the network to conduct up to 10 million transactions per second. Furthermore, The GRAM coin can be used for the following purposes:

     

    Payment for in-built services delivered by DApps.
    It can be used to pay for the storage and security and security of data in a decentralized manner.

     

    To pay for the registration of Blockchain domain names as well as for hosting whatever TON-related sites.
     

    To pay for the masking of identities and IP addresses, from specified viewers to improve on privacy even further.

     

    To pay for the avoidance of censorship that internet service providers normally enforce.

     

    To pay for digital and physical assets sold by brokers inside the TON ecosystem or on other TON-related projects.

     

    With regards to the business model practiced by TON, their services are free for its users, in what TON calls a ‘Freemium’.

     

    Potential Competitor
    The obvious competition TON will be faced with is Facebook’s cryptocurrency project, Libra.

    Libra is a platform that will conduct almost the same functions as the Telegram Open Network. Libra’s major aims are to, first, manufacture a singular digital currency that will achieve global adoption. The second primary aim is to create a facilitates domestic and international financial transactions on a basic mobile interface. This system will be built on a Blockchain architecture capable of achieving great speeds, security, and scalability. It also plans on achieving a fully decentralized system as time goes by.

     

    These are goals that TON has also set for itself. Though they both have different characteristics, it is obvious that they share similar qualities. This has caused experts to believe that these entities will exhibit intense competition when they are launched. Whether these Blockchain giants become rivals or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that they receive extensive adoption on the global front and bring more advancements to cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology.

     

    With the headway TON has been gathering, it is expected that this product will receive an extensive adoption globally.

  2. As more and more people are becoming increasingly interested in trading cryptocurrencies, and with the existence of numerous thriving cryptocurrency exchanges, it is necessary to assist these newcomers in selecting a suitable cryptocurrency exchange. This is the aim of this article.

     

    This article is an insightful guide, covering analysis of the top Bitcoin cryptocurrency exchanges in the market presently and is directed to people looking to gain a base knowledge about cryptocurrency exchanges and also for other cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

     

    Before we go into the details of the top-ranking cryptocurrency exchanges for trading Bitcoin and altcoins, we need to first understand what a cryptocurrency exchange is.

     

    What Is a Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Exchange?

    A Bitcoin cryptocurrency exchange is an online platform where Bitcoins and other altcoins are bought and sold by matching buyers with sellers. Just like every other commodity, the price of Bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. There are Bitcoin exchanges spread across the globe, which provides support to different users across regions. There are numerous functions carried out by crypto exchanges, however, most of them possess varying functions.

    Some exchanges approve fiat currency-based transactions while others carry out the only cryptocurrency. Some Bitcoin exchanges are supervised by regulatory bodies while others are not. It is worth mentioning though that a good cryptocurrency exchange should allow for supervision from the authorities to ensure that its users’ funds and information are protected. Some exchanges don’t sell Bitcoins at any cryptocurrency for that matter, rather they create a means for their users to make “bets” on price fluctuations of a cryptocurrency.

    There is a truckload of Bitcoin exchanges to choose from and this guide will make it easier for the reader to make a decision.

     

     

    Questions to Answer Before Choosing a Bitcoin Exchange

     

    1- Is the exchange affordable?

    When choosing an exchange, you have to look out for the costs of using that platform. If an exchange charges excessive fees per trade and you just happen to be a frequent trader, it means that you will be spending a whole lot on commission fees and this could eat into your profits. You also need to find out how much is charged for overnight fees, withdrawal fees as well as deposit charges.

     

    2- Is the exchange compliant with regulations?

    You also have to find out if the exchange you plan on adopting governed by regulatory agencies. The reason for this is to ensure that the exchange is obeying the set rules by the authorities thereby protecting you, the user, from negative market occurrences like hacks, market manipulation and so on. Some of this regulatory body include the CySec and the FCA.

     

    3- Do they have responsive customer service?

    This is a very important aspect of selecting an exchange. You want to make sure that the exchange you’re using has an active customer care service to assist you in times of uncertainty or confusion.

     

    4- Is the exchange highly liquid?

    You need to find out if your desired exchange has a constant inflow of liquidity so your transactions can be carried out without much delay. In a situation where liquidity is poor, facilitating transactions will be very problematic which could render the trader stranded

     

    5- Is it available for your location?

    You need to find an exchange that renders services to your locality. Also, you need to make sure that the exchange remains accessible even in an event where they change location.

     

    6- Is the exchange site trustworthy?

    Be sure to always look out for indications of authenticity and trustworthiness of the exchange website.

     

    7- Are they offering professional trading on your behalf?

    It should be noted that any crypto exchange platform that is promising to offer you “professional trading services” for a fee or whatever reason, is a sham and as such should be avoided at all costs.

    Whether this exchange is a Binance copycat or not, it sure provides an excellent trading platform for its users.

     

    Pros and Cons

    Pros:

    It provides cheap fees to its users.

    It provides access to a good number of coins as well as “obscure” coins.

     

    Cons:

    It is feared as not adequately regulated.

    All in all, Binance trumps every other exchange in the aspect of affordability. In Binance, traders are charged a measly 0.10 percent for every by or sell order. This figure is way lower than the industry average. To make it even more unbelievable, Binance offers a 50 percent discount (0.05 percent) for traders using the exchange’s native coin, BNB. Even though other copycat exchanges try to mimic the payment structure of Binance, they never seem to attain better pricing.

     

    However, some CFD brokerage like Robinhood offers a zero charge trading fee (0.0 percent), although these companies make their money from spreads and other subtle means. This means that the traders still pay a fee, they just don’t notice it.

     

    So What Exactly is a CFD?

    A CFD (Contracts For Difference) is a category of a cryptocurrency exchange that does not sell any cryptocurrency asset instead, CFD brokerages create a means for users to “bet” on the price of Bitcoin and other altcoins. CFDs are the way to go for traders looking to trade Bitcoin without having to deal with the stress that comes with owning a Bitcoin asset.

    However, the stakes are higher when it comes to CFDs. It is easier to lose one’s trading capital on a CFD. Only experienced and adept traders are advised to venture into CFD trading. So, if you want to trade the real thing, go with a conventional Bitcoin exchange and not a CFD.

     

    Categories of Bitcoin Exchanges

    There are two distinct categories of Bitcoin exchanges; centralized and decentralized. Simply put, centralized exchanges are exchange platforms that approve the use of fiat currency (US dollars, British Pounds, Japanese Yen) as a means of payment, while decentralized are those that accept only cryptocurrencies as means of payment.

     

    Characteristics of Centralized and Decentralized Exchanges

    Centralized:

    Centralized exchanges are very compliant with stringent rules and regulations. This exchange also provides a higher level of security to its investors as compared to other exchanges.

    However, centralized exchanges have a limited range of services that they offer.

    Decentralized:

    Unlike centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges offer a wider variety of services to its customers. Also, they don’t adhere to strict rules and regulations proffered by regulatory bodies. However, this feature leaves it open to several fraudulent activities and renders it susceptible to hacks.

     

    Final Thought

    There are a plethora of cryptocurrency platforms in existence today. Some of these platforms should never be explored because they can leave you susceptible to hacks and fraudulent losses. This guide is intended to be an eye-opener for the reader and to help the reader navigate through cryptocurrency exchange selection.

  24. New paper finds that Twitter, Google Trends can help predict crypto price fluctuations

     

    The Southern Methodist University recently put out a research paper that found a couple of standout facts regarding the cryptocurrency industry. Most notable is the finding that tweet count and Google search trends can help predict when crypto prices are about to change.

     

    Correlation is key

    That’s right. As reported by Bitcoinist, the paper notes that despite the volatile market and prices regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum, it’s possible to predict potential changes when factoring in user sentiment:

     

    “Twitter is increasingly used as a news source influencing purchase decisions by informing users of the currency and its increasing popularity. As a result, understanding the impact of tweets on price direction can provide a purchasing and selling advantage to a cryptocurrency user or a trader. By analyzing tweets, we found that tweet volume, rather than tweet sentiment (which is invariably overall positive regardless of price direction), is a predictor of price direction.”

     

    Of course, the paper uses Bitcoin and Ethereum because of the popularity of the two. Cryptocurrency wallets are full of these assets, and companies are consistently trying to make Bitcoin trading much easier than it has been. These currencies are tweeted about the most often, hence they make a great model for studying.

     

    However, the University made sure to tie this in with another big source, Google Trends:

     

    “By utilizing a linear model that takes as (sic) input tweets and Google Trends data, we were able to accurately predict the direction of price changes. By utilizing this model, a person is able to make better informed purchase and selling decisions related to Bitcoin and Ethereum.”

     

     

    How accurate are these findings?

     

    Interestingly, in their research, the group found that “sentiment analysis is less effective for cryptocurrency price changes in an environment in which prices are falling”. This is because tweets about crypto and blockchain tend to lean towards the positive side or are neutral.

     

    Cryptocurrencies are not mainstream. Those who tweet about them generally have a “special interest” in the technology which is why you don’t see much negativity within them. Put simply, it is then the number of tweets, not so much the emotions within them, that alter cryptocurrency prices.

     

    Of course, one has to account for bots on Twitter. There are all sorts of fake Twitter accounts within the cryptocurrency space – some of which promote Bitcoin robot scams. Regardless, it’s not always clear when an account is a bot, meaning their tweets will still factor into the reception of cryptoassets.

     

    As for the results, the team found that Google Trends searches for Bitcoin and Ethereum would jump up before prices did the same. The same happens with Bitcoin and tweets regarding it.

     

    These findings may seem obvious, but they show that user interest can in fact change crypto prices, rather than the common belief that tweets and online discussion follow price changes.

  25.  Bitcoin Trading: Steady Bitcoin Pumps a Slight Recovery in Top 20 Altcoins

     

    Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis – April 30

     

    The recent steady movement in Bitcoin price was as a result of low volatility in the course of the last five days of trading which had tightened trading between the range of $5100 and $5300. However, a surge in volatility is expected to determine the next ultimate direction of the giant crypto.

     

     

    BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish (1D chart)

    Key Levels:
    Resistance levels: $5600, $6000
    Support levels: $4800, $4500

     

    From the long-term perspective, we had seen how Bitcoin managed to crawl above the green trend-line before the notable spike in early April which has floated price above the $5000 level. After the sudden price increase, BTC has flagged up with steady movement in the channel.

     

    Last Thursday, Bitcoin dropped to $5000 from the $5600 high level. Since then, the market has been trading below $5400 till this moment with choppy price action. While indecisive, we may experience another surge in volatility which could take Bitcoin to the next phase.

     

    The RSI is currently indecisive. A downward direction may lead to a bearish breakout. Below the channel lies a tight range between $4800 and $4500. The 4-hours Stochastic RSI suggested BTC to be bearish.

     

     

    BTC/USD Medium -term Trend: Bullish (4H Chart)

     

    After the April 2 sudden price surge, Bitcoin has remained in the ascending channel. Though, nothing much has changed since the leading cryptocurrency poised $5600, the current resistance. For the past five days now, Bitcoin’s volatility has been relatively low. As a result of this, the market appeared indecisive with choppy price action.

     

    Sitting on the lower trend line, below the channel lies $4900 and $4700 support. On the upside, the market may retest $5500 and $5600 resistance levels, where the upper trend line lies. Above this channel, Bitcoin could create a new high around $5800 and $6000 levels.

     

    The 4-hours RSI is rising above the 40 level. A further incline may project BTC price at $5500. Significantly, the 4-hours Stochastic RSI lies close to the overbought territory.
