The advantages of investing in blockchain-based projects
The only secure way to bet on the blockchain is not entirely dependent on the success of the technology.
Almost a decade has passed since bitcoin and its underlying distributed registry technology, or blockchain, appeared, but the real cryptocurrency boom began only in 2017.
Blockchain allows to register transactions without centralized regulators. Theoretically, with the help of the blockchain, any process that involves the interaction of various parties and intermediaries can be made much more efficient. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are trying to become such a solution in the market for mutual settlements, but this is just one of many possible applications of technology.
How to bet on blockchain
In essence, for an investor who wants to bet on the blockchain, there are two main options. You can invest in the purchase of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or ether. The cost of bitcoin in 2017 has risen from about $ 1,000 to more than $ 13,000. Dollars. The rate of air for the same time increased from $ 10 to more than $ 700. So this strategy certainly works - in any case, it worked last year.

How OPN Platform works - the tech behind the platform
Open Packaging Network is a blockchain-based project whose goal is to provide transparency in the packaging industry by creating a platform that uses technology to provide value to industry stakeholders. This creates a platform for seamless, transparent interaction between buyers and sellers, effectively combining all the verticals involved in the filling business in a market where demand meets supply and vice versa. The project aims to become a public digital book for the filling industry, in which the parties demonstrate transparency and trust due to the integrity of the system. This guarantees the sellers of seriously interested buyers, better payment terms, reliable demand forecasts and good prices for their products, while buyers are guaranteed high quality materials delivered in good conditions and on time.
There are many market segments in the filling industry, which today are fundamentally unstable. Thus, a prospectus is created in which all the components of the market and supply chains are combined on one platform, which allows manufacturers to find a buyer. Supply chain participants also have the tools to interact with each other to effectively deliver services.

Reasons for investing in OPN
The first pros is about the token role. The age function of the token allows players both small and small to be on equal footing as long as they correspond to their levels of service.
The reputation of the stakeholder is related to the level of its services to begin with.
Another advantage deals with legal issue.
Stakeholders do not need to worry about who they trade on the platform with, since using Know Your Customer (KYC) helps identify parties.

Record rate of crypto hedge funds launched in 2018
According to a new study conducted by the Crypto Fund Research team, there are currently 466 cryptocurrency investment funds in the world. The majority (255) have the status of a hedge fund, 195 - venture capital funds, 16 - private investment funds.
Guided by the current pace of hedge funds, the authors of the study suggest that about 165 new cryptocurrency funds will be created till the end of 2018, while 156 such funds were opened last year.
Most cryptocurrency funds manage assets of $ 10 million or less. A total of 28 funds have amounts in excess of $ 100 million. These include Arrington XRP Capital, Mike Novograz’s Galaxy Digital Assets, Polychain Capital, and others. The total assets of all known crypto funds are $ 7.1 billion.
Although existing crypto funds manage relatively modest amounts, the emergence of custodial solutions based on trusted companies can open the way for larger investors.

Global packaging industry trends for 2019
The global volume of the packaging market in the main areas (paper, cardboard, plastic, etc.) by the end of 2018 will exceed $ 1,000 billion. Here are the main trends in the industry for 2019.
Formats
The current trend is small packaging or single-portion packaging. This is due to social and demographic factors: an increase in the number of single and elderly people, single-parent families, as well as a reduction in the time spent in the modern world on cooking. The volume of shipping and handling is constantly increasing due to the fact that the consumer prefers small packaging of end products of all industries: food, including chilled products, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and others.
Openness
The consumer wants more and more information about the products he consumes, based on ethical considerations and health safety. Consequently, now trademarks have to find an unmistakable balance between the required information and the attractiveness of the packaging, which can cause consumer demand. Indeed, 67% of purchasing decisions are dictated by the emotional aspect.
Electronic / Mobile Commerce
In this area, the main guiding principles of consumer demand motivation are price, comfort, time saving and home delivery. Packaging performs more than just a protective function. Technologies such as a bar code, radio frequency identification (RFID) or a QR code provide the ability to trace the origin of goods and allow you to detect a fake to protect the interests of brands and consumers.

IPO’s vs ICO’s - what’s the difference
Recently, ICO versus IPO is increasingly common. This is largely due to the fact that in general terms the two procedures are quite similar in terms of the layman. However, they differ in many parameters and this comparison is largely inaccurate. First you need to decide what is ICO and IPO.
What is ICO?
ICO is a tool by which young developing companies can sell digital tokens to finance their business processes and achieve other goals.
To run an ICO, a startup prepares a special document - white paper. It regulates the main details of the project, indicates the intermediate goals that need to be achieved, determines the number of tokens issued for fundraising, and describes what percentage of assets the creators plan to keep.
What is an IPO?
An IPO is a tool that allows companies to sell their securities to the public for the first time. Despite the fact that they mostly sell shares through IPOs, companies can also distribute other securities: bonds, futures, warrants, etc.
To run an IPO, a company usually hires several investment banks (underwriters). Further, these underwriters work with the company to understand which securities to sell and how much investment it will attract.
The purpose of an investment bank is to prepare a preliminary prospectus. This document provides investors with information about the company, including the following: a description of the business plan, ownership structure and management; financial documents and strategic initiatives.
After further processing and revision, this preliminary document becomes the final prospectus, which will later be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where the IPO application will be formed.

Legal aspects of crypto investments
The legal regime of cryptocurrency, in particular Bitcoin, varies considerably in different countries. In a number of countries, operations with cryptocurrencies are officially authorized. Usually they are treated as a commodity or investment asset and for tax purposes are subject to the relevant legislation. Sometimes Bitcoin is recognized as a settlement currency (for example, in Germany and Japan). In other countries (for example, in China), operations with digital assets are prohibited for banks, but allowed for individuals, while China is the leader in the field of mining due to the presence of the greatest production capacity. In Switzerland, cryptocurrencies are subject to the same rules as foreign currencies, and this country is one of the most favorable jurisdictions for Bitcoin startups and public blockchains. There are no restrictions on the use of Bitcoin in Russia for 2017.
European Union
On October 22, 2015, the European Court of Justice ruled that exchanging bitcoins for fiat currencies is exempt from VAT. The court decision states that the VAT law applies to the supply of goods and the provision of services. Transactions in bitcoins were classified as payment transactions with currencies, coins and banknotes, and therefore are not subject to VAT. The court recommended that all EU member countries exclude cryptocurrencies from the number of assets subject to taxation.
Germany
At the end of August 2013, the Ministry of Finance of Germany made a statement that Bitcoin could not be classified as electronic or foreign currency, but rather the definition of private money, through which multilateral clearing operations can be performed.

Sustainable Packaging to become mainstream in 2019?
Stability in the package remains a mystery. Sustainable packaging is not in short supply, and there is no shortage of demand, but it is essentiaI. It manifests itself in many different materials, suitable for a variety of applications and popular with a broad demographic, but still not considered commercial. So, what is the problem?
The plastic issue
Some forms of packaging appear resistant to sustainable change. The one element which is hard to fix is plastic. While it is lightweight, it helps reduce carbon emissions, and plays an important role in decreasing food waste by keeping food fresher for longe.
However, it is not about waste. Reducing carbon emissions is important to companies and brands, with an indirect influence on transportation, just as crucial as direct energy use or footprints for production.
The rise of e-commerce makes diagrams for distribution is even more important, with failure to seize-optimize packaging producing alarming results. It does not play any role that the package is sustainable when most of its contents are in the air.
Reusable solutions
In the waste and resource hierarchy, reusable solutions score even better than renewable or recyclable.
For almost a decade more and more people tend to consume coffee from reusable coffee cups, but the infrastructure is still too complicated and fragmented. Without regulatory changes, such as happened with plastic bags, it will remain in silos with the percentage of society who are both well informed and personally compelled to seek a better solution.
For the future of packaging, it is just possible the answer to the sustainability riddle is in fact not procurement or process.
However, thanks to new technologies, particularly blockchain, sustainable packaging can boost its development.
Open Packaging Network, as the name implies, aims to provide an open ecosystem for various stakeholders to interact with each other without problems.
Problems that Open Network Packaging deals with:
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
There is a risk with packaging. New technologies, such as 3D shapers for paper packaging, are increasing the pressure on the packaging industry, turning it into a more sustainable industry.
FORECASTING DEMAND FOR MANUFACTURERS
Manufacturers are always unsure of demand. The problem arises when buyers want their orders to be delivered as soon as possible. Buyers complain that suppliers never deliver products on time. Thus, there is a problem to be solved.
PAYMENT QUESTION
The basis of any business transaction is a financial transaction that occurs before or after the goods are sent from the manufacturer to the buyer. Typically, buyers want to increase payments over longer periods of time in order to increase their cash flow. In this regard, larger buyers are likely to have a greater trading ability. However, this is a disadvantage for small suppliers.
TRANSPARENCY AND CONFIDENCE
One of the main problems faced by the manufacturer with distributors and other intermediaries in the network is that they do not have full transparency. Therefore, manufacturers must rely on the limited data available to make strategic decisions.
QUALITY AND ACCURACY
Delivery quality is another important aspect of supplier-buyer relationships. Without high-quality products delivered, relationships will not last long. A defective product or the wrong product is a problem for buyers because they lose valuable time waiting for the right product. Since time is money, time spent is equivalent to losing business for both the buyer and the supplier. Therefore, it is very important that suppliers deliver goods to the buyer in a timely manner.

How Blockchain Technology Contributes To The Start Of The New Packaging Era Part2
Purchasers want all now, and they want it as cheap and fast as possible: in the current market customers have more pressure and products have shorter life cycles and they both want supply chain to conform to this. At the same time, supply chain companies must deal with the fact that trends never last for a long time and that anticipating demands for new products, satisfying fast-changing market requests helps in the short term but can be risky in the long term.
The market is not even a united entity, on the contrary! It can be better represented as a sum of fragmented components at the mercy of global changes or enclosed crisis that, according to economists, tend to a natural equilibrium between what providers supply and what consumers demand. Technological innovation and wars, competitors’ strengths or weaknesses and natural disasters, exchange rates and elections make the market go up and down.
Overcoming such challenge is not easy, neither for the most experienced experts in the field and the most renewed brands in the market. But keeping the control of costs, market fluctuation, transportation and materials prices and much more is crucial.

But once again Blockchain technology comes to an aid!
This is how the technology we choose for our innovative project is able to guarantee it in a global digital market where buyers invest their money to buy aleatory products and services from distributors and other intermediaries they will never see in the eyes:
5. Eliminate intermediaries
6. Control raw materials fluctuations
7. Assure compliance to the rules
8. Demand forecasting
Loss of information, distances, barriers, the impossibility to evaluate the true cost of a product, to identify if an actor of the chain is conducting illegal activities (such as keeping workers in slavery or in inhumane work conditions, funding criminal activities or war, exploiting child labour, damaging the environment and exploiting raw materials) call for more social responsibility of enterprises in the so-called “hidden actions”, the ones that the companies don’t have an insight Into. Blockchain can improve the visibility to the supply chain as each side is able to know where exactly the product is. Sharing this information makes the planning process easier and buyers/sellers can predict lead times better and make accurate order counts.
Moreover, each ring of the chain has on hand all the information he needs to ensure the well-being of the transaction, which leads to higher productivity and quality. This is not only a plus value for customers, but also for small companies and global brands, that can ultimately fulfil the expectations of their clients, which results in higher levels of trust. Transparency is indeed the most important driver of creating trust, that in turn generates reliability, long-term business relationships, clients satisfaction and creates a “digital” environment on the where discussion, collaboration and innovation can thrive. We take cyber-security seriously. That’s why we are working every day to implement all best-practice security measures to thwart potential attacks and build transparent, trusty and trackable policies.
