The King of Blockchains, Bitcoin Can Become the Foundation for Web 3.0
Bitcoin remains the undisputed “king” of blockchains. Bitcoin’s dominance has increased significantly since the experimental times of 2017. Bitcoin has survived many attempted forks and “civil wars” and has established itself as the reserve cryptocurrency; people fall back to Bitcoin in bear markets. The production network has stood the test of time for over 10 years now. However, the crypto industry has dismissed Bitcoin when it comes to smart contracts or Web 3.0. I believe this is going to change. It’s true that Bitcoin cannot do everything. Bitcoin is secure because it has a limited scripting language. Bitcoin is reliable and durable because it doesn’t change. This does not mean that the developer ecosystem around Bitcoin cannot innovate and enable support for Web 3.0. As the crypto industry makes progress toward … [Read More...]

The Blocknet Protocol: This Is What A Decentralized Infura Looks Like
Bitcoin Press Release: With XRouter and the Blocknet Protocol, Blocknet has laid the foundation for a “decentralized Infura”. 17 March 2020, Austin, TX – Blockchain interoperability protocol Blocknet has laid the foundation for a decentralized Infura. Infura allowed developers the freedom to run a node without needing to worry about its maintenance and upkeep. However, this reliability has led to heavy traffic through its nodes, with the majority of that traffic re-centralizing a large part of the Ethereum network. This problem was compounded further during the height of the CryptoKitties craze in 2017 in which the majority of traffic was funneled to Infura causing more problems, clogging up the network. In the last 9 months the number of nodes maintained has fallen by 25% as an increasing number of node … [Read More...]

Crypto Tidbits: Bitcoin Surges to $7,000, COVID-19 Outbreak Brings Economy to Standstill, Ethereum DeFi Recovers
Another week, another round of Crypto Tidbits. After last week’s brutal showing, Bitcoin mounted a strong recovery over the past few days, rallying as high as $7,100 yesterday, marking an 85% gain from the $3,800 capitulation bottom. Altcoins followed suit by trending higher, but slightly underperformed BTC as the market continues to centralize amid times of uncertainty about the future of crypto firms. Bitcoin’s strength came amid a bout of weakness for the stock market.

A Treatise on Bitcoin and Privacy Part 2: Don’t Be Misled by Red Herrings
In Part One of this treatise, we examined the fundamental relationship between Bitcoin and privacy by going back to the beginning with the whitepaper. In spite of some excellent privacy preserving options that have been available to users since those early days, we seem to have taken a few wrong turns. But to fix it, in order to make Bitcoin’s privacy “great again,” we must be able to distinguish between real privacy and red herrings that can only lead us further off the path. Fiat Gateways Lead to Privacy Graveyards Bitcoin is an effective system to transfer and store wealth, but that wealth has first to “enter” the system somehow, very often coming from fiat money. (Of course, you can also earn satoshis directly in … [Read More...]
