More grim news from Venezuela:


IMF Sees Venezuela Inflation Rocketing to 720 Percent in 2016

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-22/imf-sees-venezuela-inflation-rocketing-to-720-percent-in-2016

That is shocking. Though Venezuela may be the worst case, the vast majority of the world's population are not just struggling to get ahead. They loosing significant ground in real earning and purchasing power.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-22/imf-sees-venezuela-inflation-rocketing-to-720-percent-in-2016

"“A lack of hard currency has led to scarcity of intermediate goods and to widespread shortages of essential goods — including food — exacting a tragic toll,” Werner said. “Prices continue to spiral out of control.”"

"The monetary authority accused websites that track the dollar’s street value of “destroying prices” and installing a “savage” form of capitalism in the country, adding that 60 percent of inflation was the result of currency manipulation."

Wow, it's too bad the government has been cracking down on people using foreign currency and bitcoin. That could improve the lives of Venezuelans.

"CoinTree Adds Recurring Bitcoin Purchase Option.

Customers who have been looking for a way to use their bank accounts to make recurring Bitcoin purchases will soon have that option. The Australian exchange CoinTree recently announced that the recurring purchase feature will be added to its services beginning on January 26, 2016. The new option fulfills some customers’ desire to actively acquire the cryptocurrency on a steady, gradual basis, enabling them to continually expand their holdings without regard to the ups and downs of the market. To protect its customers, the exchange is also implementing set intervals between purchases, and limiting the amount of each purchase to no more than AUD $200."

Sounds good for DNotesVault. Cool option DNotes could adopt when it becomes easier to purchase directly.



Absolutely kanus. I seem to remember talking about this type of thing before as well. It would be very helpful to those who are looking to invest small and grow their portfolio.

This was a pretty interesting article, The Dangers of a Blockchain Monoculture, from Tony Arcieri (software engineer and cybersecurity expert working on the the Platform Security Team at Square). Fair warning, it's a lengthy article, and I got sucked into reading the entire article. There are many interesting insights, especially in his conclusions.

"I feel “blockchain technology” has not delivered a lot of practical value: compared to most payment systems, the value bitcoin moves, and the transaction rate, are both rather insignificant (and bitcoin is all that matters – all other blockchain-based systems move practically nothing by comparison)."

"I worry the media are giving undue attention to questionable ideas simply because there’s a lot of "buzz around blockchain"."

I quoted these two as I feel there will be many important uses for blockchain technology and we have only begun to scratch the surface of what that might be, but I believe digital currency is the most important.

Here are two quotes I could not take a pass. I have labeled our industry's blind followers as mindless zombies before. Thanks to the new breed of “snake oil purveyors” this trend has breached the boundaries of our industry. We are now joined by rich zombies waving large bundles of cash! LOL, I am just taking a short break, and can’t be too serious.


A new breed of snake oil purveyors are peddling “blockchain” as the magic sauce that will power all the world’s financial transactions and unlock the great decentralized database in the sky.

Thus we wind up with a positive feedback loop of hype without anyone actually delivering on anything valuable.”

Is mainstream media finally seeing things clearly?

From Newsweek:


BITCOIN: TOO BIG TO FAIL

The death of bitcoin has been proclaimed once again. Prominent developer Mike Hearn’s recent comments that the bitcoin experiment was over mark the 89th time the digital currency has been pronounced dead since it first launched in 2009, at least according to one website dedicated to tracking bitcoin obituaries. While it's sad to see a talented programmer like Hearn turn his back on bitcoin, there are still thousands of people working on making the world’s first digital currency a success.

The bitcoin network has been running without interruption for seven years now; a feat no banking system can claim. Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology—an online ledger that records every bitcoin transaction—represent a fundamental innovation that can dramatically speed up transaction times. The first step is replacing our need for financial middlemen. Next, we can restructure notaries, land registries, stock markets and much more.

People have criticised bitcoin for its price fluctuations but there are applications now that lock the value of bitcoin to dollars, euros or gold; people have insinuated it could be used by drugs or arms dealers operating on the dark web even though the U.K. Government said bitcoin was the least likely funding tool for criminality; people have worried that regulation might discourage innovation. Meanwhile bitcoin continues to grow.

Hearn’s criticisms that the bitcoin network isn’t set up to support the ever-increasing number of transactions performed on it is more a reflection of the currency’s success. It’s true that if bitcoin keeps growing as quickly as it has in the past few months parts of the network will need to be upgraded. This is a good problem to have.

What began as a small experiment is now a rapidly expanding ecosystem. There are so many people using it now that we have to plan for more capacity. It was never a secret that the software powering bitcoin would have to get upgraded occasionally—just like the software on your iPhone. Let’s look at the data. According to Bloomberg, bitcoin was the best performing currency in 2015. Why? More than 5 million new users started transacting in bitcoin last year alone. More importantly, the total transaction volume has more than doubled over the past 12 months.

The Bitcoin blockchain will catalyze innovation over the coming years. As citizens of the internet we demand transparency and ease of use. In 2016 people expect to be able to send money over the internet as quickly and cheaply as sending an email. The fact that it still takes several days to send an international money transfer is a throwback to yesteryear. Bitcoin solves that problem.

This currency is not a “failed experiment”, as Hearn suggested. Our firm, Blockchain (a bitcoin wallet provider), had its best month yet in December. All successful projects face problems as they grow, thankfully there are a multitude of brilliant minds working to solve them. In five years, hundreds of millions of users will be sending money on the internet as easily as they send chats, and the only obituaries being written will be those of the traditional banks.

Great find Chase! "Is mainstream media finally seeing things clearly?" Given the success of digital currency it is only a matter of time before the media gets on board.
