I have to admit,  I LOVE the Ben Swann sponsorship.     This is the perfect use case for Dash.   

I hope to see more like this in the future!

The US President Issues An Executive Order to Ban the Venezuelan Petro


Donald Trump has issued an executive order to ban all cryptocurrencies issued “by, for, or on behalf” of the Venezuelan government by a “United States person or within the United States”.

“All transactions related to, provision of financing for, and other dealings in, by a United States person or within the United States, any digital currency, digital coin, or digital token, that was issued by, for, or on behalf of the Government of Venezuela on or after January 9, 2018, are prohibited as of the effective date of this order.”

The executive order is a follow up to the sanctions that were placed on Venezuela by the US this past December since the Petro was seen as a work around by the Maduro regime. The action echos the US Treasury Department’s previous statement that advised investors to avoid the Petro, which called it “another attempt to prop up the Maduro regime, while further looting the resources of the Venezuelan people.”

The Petro, pre-sale launched on February 20, was proclaimed to be backed by oil from the country and thus many saw the Petro as a de facto oil future rather than a cryptocurrency. However, the democratically elected body of Venezuela have already called the Petro illegal. In addition, many have called into question the cryptocurrency’s decentralized nature since a majority of the Petro seems to be in a few wallets and many suspect that most buyers were governmental agencies.

Dash Core Group Announces Glenn Austin As New Chief Financial Officer

Austin will be in charge of financial operations for Dash Core Group, including budgeting, planning, risk management, investor relations, and accounting for the team.

“My interest in the cryptocurrency space has spanned several years, and in that time I’ve found Dash to be one of the most promising projects in the space,” said Austin. “Dash’s unique decentralized governance and treasury model has positioned it to be a dominant force in the cryptocurrency space, and I fully believe within the next decade it will become the primary digital currency for payments at retailers globally.”

Austin possesses an A.B. in Economics from Harvard and an M.B.A. in Finance and Management from Columbia Business School. Austin has spent most of the past 20 years in the financial services industry, starting as an Associate at Citigroup before moving on to Morgan Stanley. After advancing to the role of Vice President at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Austin took on a Director role at UBS. Most recently he held a number of senior leadership positions at Chain IQ, a consulting firm spun out of UBS.

In contrast to many other best cryptocurrency tasks, Dash is really a DAO, a good organized as well as self-funding business that non-nonetheless has no main authority and it is open to involvement from anybody. Grin

Coinbase: Holy Grail or White Whale?


Late last year, as Dash surged in price, rumors were swirling about a possible Coinbase integration. With euphoria, like the price, at all-time highs, it seemed like Dash in particular and cryptocurrency in general were unstoppable. Random people on every social media outlet were talking of the integration as if it were an unassailable fact.

Dash has yet to be added to Coinbase or the company’s exchange, GDAX.

But then again, neither has Ripple. That currency twice soared in value off Coinbase integration rumors, once in January and again in March. The rumors reached such a fever pitch that both times Coinbase had to step in, once with a blog and again with a tweet, to let people know that no such integration was planned at the time.

Coinbase is unquestionably one of the easiest to use and best known cryptocurrency exchanges, especially in the US and UK. Announcements of Ethereum and Litecoin integrations caused both currencies to soar in value. The addition of Bitcoin Cash to the platform led to a massive surge in that currency’s value as well and sparked a major insider trading scandal. That scandal has arguably slowed the adoption of any further digital currencies while the company regroups.

What makes Dash much more interesting isn't relaying only on anonymous features but it is expanding its area of functionalities. This is what will keep its demand on the increase alongwith privacy features you will have lot more to do. Dash team is really visionary by taking steps ahead of time and one last thing its current price almost bottom is here.

Plattsburgh, NY, Concerned over Energy Costs, Bans Cryptocurrency Mining


Plattsburgh, a city located in northern New York State in the US, has decided to place an 18 month moratorium on cryptocurrency mining because of energy usage concerns.

Coinmint is the largest miner within the city and used about 10 percent of the city’s energy supply in January and February. Plattsburgh Mayor, Colin Read, said he heard “a lot of complaints that electric bills have gone up by $100 or $200” USD and that regulations on commercial mining were needed before there is an “irreversible change to the character and direction of the city.” The city will consider all “server farms” as “three or more interconnected computers housed together” whose primary purpose is to “perform cryptocurrency mining or associated data processing.” The city will leverage a fine of no more than $1,000 USD for each day an individual or business is in violation.

The DASH project is the most popular item in the anonymous encryption currency. The price trend has been steadily rising in recent years. But is the future development of the anonymous currency still worth looking at?

Perfect is the Enemy of Good Enough


“Perfect is the Enemy of Good Enough” is an old aphorism with origins that have been lost in time. As a long time manager of people (and, of course, myself), this old philosophical nugget has always been one of my favorites because it emphasizes “making progress” regardless of the situation. It and its permutations have served me well throughout my leadership career in the military and later in software engineering. Here are some others that may sound familiar to you.

Fake the funk.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome.
Fake it until you make it.
Just do it.
Release early; release often.

The first two are common military phrases. You get the idea. Waiting for perfect conditions. Focusing on perfect results and process. All these things lead to stagnation and under-performance.

I am digressing a bit, but I wanted to point out that this kind of temperament is much needed in the religious world that is crypto and blockchain.

Coinbase Partners with Barclays UK


Coinbase has found a new partner in Barclays UK office to service their 12 million users, many of whom are located within the United Kingdom.

Coinbase’s CEO said they “believe that this is an important step towards our commitment to making cryptocurrency accessible to everyone”. Previously, UK Coinbase customers had to rely on using a bank in Estonia that charged heavy exchange rates. The new partnership will start with a small group of institutional users and then expand to all UK customers.

Coinbase was also issued an e-money license by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), which allows them to extend their services to 23 countries within the EU. Barclays previously inquired last year with fintech firms and the FCA about incorporating Bitcoin into the financial sector. The partnership is a stark contrast to the increasing trend of banks in the UK and EU closing their doors to cryptocurrencies because of regulation fears.
