Viberate is developing a platform for the live music industry which runs as a decentralized service, allowing anybody to add or edit relevant data. The company has now implemented a rewarding system, which means all contributors will be compensated with VIB tokens.

“Investing a 1.2 million dollars’ worth of tokens to repay our contributors’ efforts not only means that some of them will be able to quit their day jobs, but also gives our token the utility value not a lot of blockchain projects have,” claims Vasja Veber, COO and cofounder of the Slovenian-based company which raised 10.7 million dollars in September’s ICO and has since been able to deliver on all the ICO roadmap promises.

For 2,000 days, money will be evenly distributed among the contributors, which translates to 5,000 VIB tokens daily. It is worth pointing out that the token, inherent to Viberate’s ecosystem, is already listed on five crypto exchanges, including Binance and Bittrex, while additional solutions for an even wider token adoption are underway. Viberate has just announced that supporters will “very soon” be able to purchase VIB tokens using only their credit cards via Changelly as well as start using the popular Jaxx wallet.

“We want to offer the customers a solution for every problem in the crypto sphere”-Wolfgang Thaler



In the beginning of 2010, Christopher was struggling to mine bitcoin on his laptop. Shortly after setting it up, he lost it. Determined to get some bitcoin one way or another, he tried getting some from an exchange, which turned out to be a dreadful process.

Nevertheless, he was fascinated by blockchain and wanted to pursuit a career in it.
His colleague at the time, Wolfgang Thaler, was also getting acquainted with the new exotic currency. In casual conversation at work, both found out they had a similar bad experience when buying crypto.

How I learned more about "investment objectives" as "broker of the day" on 17th Street in Denver, 1981.

-----------------

When I started out as a stock broker with Dean Witter on 17th Street in Denver way back in the early 1980s, I got to be “broker of the day” about once a month. It wasn’t a special honor or anything like that – it just meant that if someone who was not yet a client showed up at the front desk wanting to buy or sell stocks, they’d be sent to whomever had been assigned “broker of the day” for that day.

Maury (not his real name) came in one day when I was the broker of the day and he had a 358 share certificate of PSC stock. He sat in my office as we filled out the new account form and the “sell” ticket. We got to the part where I asked him what his investment objectives were and he more or less leaned back and said, “Oh, gee, this was so unexpected in the first place. I guess I just want to have fun with the money.”

In December 2017, the price of cryptocurrency hit an all-time high. Bitcoin led the way as it briefly breached the $20,000 per unit barrier before speculators cashed out and became overnight millionaires. At the time, the cryptocurrency market capitalization was inching towards $1 trillion. Since then, markets have cooled spectacularly. Bitcoin is now trading around $6,700 per unit, with a circulating supply of 16.967 million BTC. The top 5 cryptocurrencies and their market capitalizations now comprise the following (approximate values mid-April 2018):

• Bitcoin – market capitalization of $114.4 billion
• Ethereum – market capitalization of $39.140 billion
• Ripple – market capitalization of $18.957 billion
• Bitcoin Cash – market capitalization of $10.875 billion
• Litecoin – market capitalization of $6.438 billion

Closer inspection of the cryptocurrency market reveals an interesting reality: The top 5 cryptocurrencies comprise 74% of the entire cryptocurrency market, at a value of $189.89 billion. This is a amazing statistic given that there are some 1,562 cryptocurrencies operating across 10,164 markets. Bitcoin makes up 44.4% of the total market cap, which is also an upward correction for the world’s premier cryptocurrency. With prices as depressed as they are right now, it’s easy to lose track of the 1-year performance of the top 5 cryptocurrencies:

• Bitcoin was trading at $1,191.78 per unit in April 2017 and is now $6,746 per unit
• Ethereum was trading at $43.30 per unit in April 2017 and is now $396.50 per unit
• Ripple was trading at $0.03348 per unit in April 2017 and is now $0.48490 per unit
• Bitcoin Cash did not exist in April 2017, but opened at $555.89 on July 23, 2017, and is now $637 per unit
• Litecoin was trading at $8.84 in April 2017 and is now $120 per unit

Startup Crypterium, ran by former UK Visa CEO, challenges classic banks by introducing its new feature that allows its users to transfer any amount of cryptocurrency using not the complicated wallet addresses, but simply the recipient phone number.

Former Visa CEO’s startup runs the fastest crypto transactions in the world
Blockchain based fintech startup Crypterium challenges classic banks by introducing its new feature that allows its users to transfer any amount of cryptocurrency using not the complicated wallet addresses, but simply the recipient phone number. Those transfers happen simultaneously, and the company claims it can process up to a million transactions per second solving blockchain’s scalability issue.

Does it mean the first truly user friendly crypto solution has arrived, and we're witnessing the Netscape moment for the whole industry? Marc O’Brien, who has held the position of CEO of Visa UK for six years, to then become a key advisor to Revolut, Britain’s first digital bank unicorn, bets the house that it did.

Going Mainstream
Almost all blockchain applications are not user-friendly. Tech-savvy people have created them for other tech-savvy people, and those solutions are still very confusing for both businesses and consumers who are not as computer literate.

Proprietary Distributed Artificial Neural Networks Technology

Cryptocurrency trading is all set to become safe and profitable like never before, with the recent launch of a fully automated crypto trading platform by Napston. This groundbreaking trading platform is based on a proprietary technology called Distributed Artificial Neural Networks that has been programmed to accurately predict the market by utilizing the processing power from thousands of independent sources.

Since the creation of bitcoin in 2009, over three hundred different cryptocurrencies have been launched. As a result of the extreme volatility of the crypto market, trading of cryptocurrencies has emerged as a lucrative alternative for the traders around the world. However, this can be an extremely complex and risky proposition without a trustworthy trading platform.

Napston entered the cryptocurrency space in 2013, long before it became mainstream. Over the last five years, the company has been through all the uncertainties and fluctuations of this evolving market. During this phase, Napston was serving only the larger corporate and high net worth individual customers, helping them properly structure and trade their cryptocurrency portfolios. They have spent a high percentage of profits to build the proprietary Distributed Artificial Neural Networks technology. This advanced technology has now formed the foundation of Napston’s automated crypto trading platform.
