"DIAM was created with the idea of liquidising diamonds, the most crisis-resistant asset and one of the top-performing asset classes in the world. diamDEXX has stated that thanks to this, pegging their currency to $1, and establishing a redeeming system where users can get their currency’s worth in diamonds, they’re building a currency that rivals the stability and consistency of the Gold Standard Dollar. The company aims to create a borderless, low-fee platform for payments worldwide and is moving fast towards this goal, with several papers reporting on its partnership with tech giant Microsoft."

"In 2018, Facebook banned advertisements involving cryptocurrency or initial coin offerings to combat the proliferation of scams and bogus ICOs cropping up as the price of Bitcoin soared. Over the last few months, Facebook has been softening the ban in the run up to the announcement of Libra—and it appears scammers are taking advantage. Libra scams may not help Facebook convince lawmakers and regulators that it can protect user privacy and prevent the digital currency from being used in criminal activity. Facebook has already eroded the trust of both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill after scandals involving the spread of disinformation and a failure to safeguard user data."

"Bitcoin has surged back above $10,000 per bitcoin after a raft of positive news for the bitcoin price and cryptocurrency markets, somewhat putting to rest fears bitcoin bulls were about to wrest back control.
The bitcoin price is up 10% over the last three days, with traders and investors pointing to the U.S. Federal Reserve's first rate cut in bitcoin's ten-year history as one of the prime catalysts for the sudden recovery."

"The African region is ripe for the adoption of blockchain in the area of digital payments. The M-Pesa mobile payment system has been operating in Kenya since 2007. It enables users to send payments to one another via a text message, using their cellphone SIM card as a store of credit. It quickly caught on to become the go-to means of making payments and was credited with lifting two percent of Kenya’s population out of poverty. M-Pesa has since rolled out to other developing countries.
This only underscores the critical role that blockchain will play in helping future generations exist outside of poverty. Like M-Pesa, cryptocurrencies provide a similar means of payment for the unbanked."

"Describing itself as “A simple global currency and financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people,” Libra is attracting significant attention from crypto enthusiasts, mainstream financers, and curious onlookers alike. While some are debating Libra’s role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, others are intrigued by its intended use case. Libra is targeting the 1.7 billion people around the world who are unbanked, meaning that they don’t have access to the financial institutions that have defined the modern banking movement."

"One of the greatest benefits of blockchain is that it empowers communities to create its own solutions and incentivization systems, rather than looking toward a higher centralized power. If harnessed in the right way, blockchain can unlock ‘natural capital’ in communities, particularly in the context of the environment, where the problem of global commons is most prevalent. By creating transparency and reward-based systems, new technology can create widespread change, perhaps bypassing the challenge of converting climate skeptics."

"Fortunately, the growth of value-backed stablecoins now makes it possible for everyday citizens to ensure they can protect their wealth from the threats of economic collapse. Hopefully blockchain is bringing us closer to a time where no one need fear the ruin that corrupt regimes and leaders can have to a nation’s economy.
Blockchain innovation is leading us to a time when, with the click of a button, all citizens of the world will have the opportunity to invest in real-world stores of value at the click of a button, all made possible by the innovation of stablecoins."

"In commercial real estate, Amsterdam-based HerenBouw is applying blockchain to a large-scale development project in Amsterdam harbor. According to Propulsion Consulting founder Marc Minnee, HerenBouw’s objective was to set up a blockchain-enabled project management system to make the building development lifecycle more efficient. Minnee’s blockchain application for HerenBouw focused on registering transactions at legally binding moments, where accuracy and an audit trail are essential. “Blockchain provides a platform for clearly cascading work products down the chain and holding everyone accountable for completing key tasks,” Minnee said."

Speaking to Yahoo Finance a few weeks back, Thomas Lee, a co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, noted that the launch of Facebook’s Libra, Donald Trump’s mention of the cryptocurrency space, overall institutional involvement, and further macroeconomic unrest could help Bitcoin in reaching the $20,000 to $40,000 range by the end of the year. He elaborates:

“Bitcoin is now trading at a level that it’s only seen 3% of its historical days. If you go back to every milestone that that was achieved, bitcoin subsequently rallied somewhere between 200% to 400% within the next four months, so I think if that’s playing out this time that means bitcoin could be $20,000 to $40,000 sometime in the fourth quarter.”

"Blockchain technology is among the most disruptive forces of the past decade. Blockchain’s power to record, enable, and secure huge numbers and varieties of transactions raises an intriguing question: can the same distributed ledger technology that powers bitcoin also enable better execution of strategic projects in a conservative sector like construction, involving large teams of contractors and subcontractors and an abundance of building codes, safety regulations, and standards?"

"Bitcoin and other similar currencies may be best suited as speculative assets, but they do not represent the full expression of the crypto ecosystem. Stablecoins, a specific type of cryptocurrency that, as the name indicates, prioritize stability by aligning their value with another asset like dollars, gold, or other resources, offer a more practical option for the unbanked.

Libra eschews each of these categories, choosing instead to base its value off of a basket of global currencies and low-volatility securities that will give the currency both a unique valuation and a reliable price.

Of course, Libra isn’t carving out its own niche in the crypto space. The stablecoin market already features several players that are creating unique takes on the stablecoin initaitve, all in an effort to bolster the usability of digital currencies around the world."

"Facebook has said that Libra will keep a stable value because it will be backed by a reserve containing mainly cash deposits of US dollars, British pounds, euros, and Japanese yen. The approach takes cues from other so-called stablecoins, an emerging class of digital currencies. But the basic idea underlying stablecoins isn’t new, Bullard said. Nations have tried to “peg” their currency’s value to that of another currency, often the US dollar. In that case, the central bank promises to convert a fixed amount of its nation’s currency for a dollar. "

"According to reporting from CoinDesk, the token will be backed by five separate construction projects, three in Hamburg, one in Frankfurt and one in the university town of Jena. The portfolio, including residential, commercial and hotel properties, will total more than 680,000 square feet upon completion.  The company expects to pay investors an annual dividend between 4-7% each year at the end of July until the year 2033, at which point investors will be reimbursed in full for the nominal amount of their initial purchase. Investors will be able to pay for their shares and receive dividends in fiat or ether. There is an expectation that this payout model could help drive additional demand for the token, as opposed to traditional STOs that may trade at a discount, at least early on, due to illiquid markets."

"To underscore the point that scalability is a gating factor for mass market adoption, I offer a simple and generic definition of scalability: Scalability refers to a blockchain’s ability to provide a rich experience for users independent of how many users have this experience. Whether the user’s experience is joining a blockchain’s network, interacting with a decentralized application (DApp) during a prime-time rush, or breaking out from a centralized walled garden, the experience must be excellent to achieve mass market adoption. So, scalability is a key consideration if a technology seeks mainstream adoption, but is mass adoption itself important?"

"As the crypto community digests the news that leading firms such as Blockstack and YouNow obtained SEC approval to sell security tokens to retail investors, a German startup announced that it received approval from the German Financial Market Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to distribute the country’s first blockchain-based real estate bond to retail and institutional investors around the world.
The company is called Fundament Group, and yesterday it launched a 250 million euro ($280 million) tokenized bond offering on the Ethereum blockchain backed by commercial real estate investments in major cities across Germany. The token will conform to ERC-20 standards and be interoperable with most major wallets and transferable around the world."

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has achieved only 12% recognition since it went live in July 2015 and it can be assumed that smaller cryptocurrencies litecoin and Ripple's XRP are still less well known.
"We believe that crypto and the blockchain technology that underpins it will be essential to tomorrow’s economy," said Guy Hirsch, U.S. managing director of eToro. "By introducing the concept to a new audience, libra could play a vital role in the evolution of decentralized and more democratized finance."

"Blockchain will increasingly compete with legacy trust intermediaries because of its symbiotic distributed ledger network. You'll trust a digital record or asset that's installed on a Blockchain and distributed to a network of ledgers called "nodes." Practically speaking, Blockchain is essentially a database platform – a digital pegboard – onto which you can plug any number and variety of digitally encrypted elements and applications: a contract, a record or a financial asset, like cryptocurrency or an ownership share of a business. Even your last will and testament."
