The concept of mining was always confined to physical entities like gold and oil. It might not be easy to link the concept of mining to currency. However, with the advent of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin, mining has become closely related to cryptocurrencies. When we talk about mining, we immediately conjure up memories of picking up an axe and digging up in a place to find the element that needs to be mined. However, mining cryptocurrency is a tad bit different. In the oncoming lines, let us learn about the nuances of cryptocurrency mining. Understanding The Blockchain To understand cryptocurrency, we have to first understand the basics of blockchain. Blockchain is the technology that governs cryptocurrency. Blockchain is a digital ledger that records transactions of each cryptocurrency and makes it available to everyone in the network. In this process, the blockchain copies itself and sends the copy to every computer or every node in the network. Each node con...

In 2019, the phrase, “...to the Moon” is no longer limited to water cooler talks at NASA or any other space agency. The statement has been appropriated by the cryptocurrency community and has developed a metaphorical meaning that is finding its way into everyday conversations or memes. Any hodler would use it to define a phase when the price of a cryptocurrency is peaking. With the cryptocurrency market experiencing an updraft, it is highly possible that you may have heard this phrase sometime in the past few months. Take for instance the Bitcoin, whose surge since April 2019 has seen the coin rise as high as $12900! Other cryptocurrencies and altcoins have a similar tale to share. Interestingly, this recent surge can in no ways be compared to that of the 2017 bubble, that was fueled by a greater fool-esque demand. Today, with more and more people understanding the underlying benefits of cryptocurrency, it is gaining more acceptance and experiencing an organic growth....

The main attribute that makes Libra appeal to the crowd is the lack of transaction fees charged when it is exchanged although there is a sum charged to use the currency.  Trust  Trust is a major issue that...

Bitcoin is, without question, one of the greatest things that happened to the world of fintech. Not only did it bring in the awesomeness of blockchain technology but also introduced a new dimension of transactions by providing enhanced security and transparency. As we all know, blockchain is an immutable, transparent and secure digital ledger that stores information. This property of the blockchain makes it an ideal candidate for effecting financial transactions governed by a set of self-executing rules called smart contracts. Smart contract on Bitcoin Introducing Smart Contracts A smart contract contains a set of rules and conditions that the transacting parties need to agree to in order to effect a transaction. The smart contract is what elevates the utility-value of blockchain. This would mean that there is no need for a trusted third party or any other intermediaries to ensure the upkeeping of the trust. This also translates to lower cost, faster transaction times, and h...

Ever since ‘blockchain’ and ‘funding’ found parallel mentions, ICO was considered to be de facto standard for raising funds for crypto project and startups. The process for an ICO is quite simple. A company can offer investors a new innovative cryptocurrency or a representative token that the investors can buy using Bitcoin or Ethereum or fiat currency. This money will be used to finance the development of a new project or application. Future investors receive tokens and a promise that the investment that they have made will benefit them in the form of access to the platform, product or services. In ICO, the legal protection of potential investors is considerably poor. The entire process is based on trust. There is every chance that the trust can be misused and any team can scam the investors. While the rapid advancement of Technology can be considered a boon, making the existing legal system catch up with the technological advancements is another task. This is one of the major reas...
