In 2024, Bitcoin and the overall cryptocurrency ecosystem experienced a significant shift due to the introduction of the first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, indicating institutional acceptance. Bitcoin's value surpassed 100,000 USD, and stablecoins further solidified the global influence of the US dollar.
The next twelve months are already promising, with experts predicting positive outcomes in the cryptocurrency realm. Stablecoin growth is projected to accelerate in 2025, potentially reaching over $400 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's functionality is expanding beyond being a store of value, with Layer 2 networks like Stacks, BOB, Babylon, and CoreDAO enabling the possibility of a flourishing Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
What about mainstream use? Thus far, cryptocurrencies have remained a relative niche industry, inaccessible for those not well-versed in its...
In the world of blockchain, governance is key to maintaining a secure and efficient network. TRON, one of the leading blockchain platforms, has a unique system where Super Representatives (SRs) play a vital role in keeping the network running smoothly.

In recent years, despite the buzz around cryptocurrencies, many people still do not fully understand what it is or how it has the potential to impact our economy, banking system, and other industries.
What’s more surprising is that many people are blindly getting into investing in cryptocurrencies without even fully understanding it.
Basically, a cryptocurrency is a digital asset that is represented by unalterable entries that are made in a distributed, shared database or a ledger which is spread out over a network of computers.
Each computer has a...
This infographic on learning about cryptocurrency isn't to give you all the finite details of how it works; potentially, that infographic could be as tall as the Empire State Building! What it does do, is provide you with an easy to reference combination of some of the most popular cryptocurrency resources.
You might have already heard of some of these and some could be completely brand-spanking new to you. Either way, all of these come highly recommended and are receiving rave reviews. Who knows, Satoshi Nakamoto himself—or themselves—might have even checked out one or two of them.
Learning cryptocurrency doesn't have...
Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are becoming an attractive fundraising method for companies looking to launch projects, with several startups and established companies choosing ICOs over IPOs (Initial Public Offering in stock markets), amid low regulatory requirements and the potential to raise high levels of funding.
In exchange for funds and support, investors receive a new cryptocurrency coin which they hope will rise in value with the success of the company. Investors can make big gains by investing in the right ICOs at the right time.
The infographic below shows eleven companies that have received millions of dollars from investors using...

A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is designed to work as a medium of exchange. It makes use of computer cryptography to secure and confirm transactions as well as to have control over the distribution of new units of that particular cryptocurrency.
Essentially, these digital currencies are limited entries within a database that no one can change unless they fulfill a set of very specific conditions.
Cryptocurrencies have become very popular investments recently, as they start to gain mainstream acceptance by major banks and financial institutions. Several online brokers let you get in on the action by offering...

What is Blockchain?
Blockchain technology operates as a common, cryptographically verified ledger, distributed across a broad decentralized network of computers (or nodes), largely known for its use in recording value transactions and exchanges.
Each ledger entry is considered a “block” in the broader “chain,” and each block is cryptographically validated by a consensus-based algorithm which is computed across the node network.
Each block is not added to the chain...
Let’s be honest: if you haven’t yet embraced the advent of cryptocurrency, you’re falling behind the curve. Early adopters made thousands (or even millions of dollars) off of their initial investment, and those who deal in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies today experience a host of conveniences and benefits because of the revolutionary technology.
As big banks and governments start to understand how to adopt blockchain technology to suit their purposes, it’s becoming clear that crypto means secure, instantaneous transactions with little room for security breaches, meddling and fraud.
If you still think that crypto is primarily a fringe phenomenon, just look...
Like almost any cryptocurrency in the market, Ethereum was making headlines at the end of 2017 with its explosive annual growth in ETH/USD of around 10,000%. Although things have changed radically since then, many still expect Ether to “go to the moon.” But is it a realistic expectation?
Where We Stand Now
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says the heady days of “1,000x price increases” are over for the cryptocurrency market. Following this assumption, cryptocurrency should be traded less like a speculative investment but heading to real-world adoption and usage.
If you are shopping for insurance, booking travel, gaming, buying entertainment tickets, or...
Firstly, what is Blockchain Technology? To put it just, blockchain creates a digital, distributed and decentralized ledger that records transactions and data in a transparent and immovable manner. This decentralized technology does not require the help of any intermediaries like financial institutions.
What we mean to say is that this way of processing is entirely new, which does not require the involvement of the currently available banking networks.
Blockchain was first introduced along with the invention of Bitcoin in 2008, with the practical invention coming in the year 2009.
You might not know this, but, the concept of electronic cash or digital...

There was this mania called the ‘Dutch tulip mania’ recorded to be the first ever speculative bubble. It saw people even going to the extent of even selling the homes they were living in, just to invest in the tulip flower.
Same speculative bubbles have been suggested about cryptocurrency ever since their introduction into the market.

The world of technological innovations keeps evolving and hardly waits for those unwilling to adopt such changes. It is widely said that cryptocurrency will do to fiat (local currency) what email did to writing of letters.
However, the manner with which most of us in this part of the world heard about bitcoin closed our minds to the beautiful opportunities presented by cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was created in 2008, but most people heard about it through Ponzi schemes many years later.
The horrible experiences people had with such platforms has made it so difficult for them to embrace cryptocurrency for what it...
The world of cryptocurrencies has evolved over time and the argument is no longer whether crypto coins are here to stay or not.
Instead, the question has tilted more towards which coin will retain global dominance or which coin will overtake it, who will gain or who will lose.
On the global market of digital coins, it is not uncommon to pitch giants against each other and examine them side by side to see which one passes the test as a more viable investment option and, in the long run, which of the two will survive as a market leader and...

In the last 9 years, we have witnessed the birth and rise of so many currencies in the crypto scene; many thanks to the Blockchain technology (which doesn't quite get enough accolades as people focus only on the financial and trading aspect of crypto coins and are quick to forget the originator).
Stellar Lumen (XLM), the NEO (NEO) and the Cardano (ADA) are examples of cryptocurrencies that were launched between 2014 and 2015... and was once one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the world, but now at number 39 (according to CoinMarketCap's market capitalization rating).

From about 2014 till this very moment, the number of new cryptocurrencies and companies based on the blockchain technology that have sprung up is overwhelming.
What is, however, more overwhelming is the growth and welcome these "newcomer" cryptos have received since inception.

Stellar is an open source platform founded in the early periods of 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim (a lawyer). Jed has years of experience in the blockchain technology. He created eDonkey (a...
Over the past 2 to 3 years, there has been a whole lot of fuss about many cryptocurrencies. And quite interesting is the fact that before now, whenever the word "Cryptocurrency" or "Crypto" were mentioned, the mind quickly and subconsciously goes to "Bitcoin". Now, as a result of the upspring of platforms based on the blockchain technology that performs even better than the Bitcoin network, the attention has been shifted significantly away from Bitcoin.
There are quite a number of popular cryptos, asides the Bitcoin, that have grown in terms of popularity, volume, market cap and value over the years:...
Just like there are tons of ‘paper’ currencies recognized, spent and exchanged in different countries all across the world, this diversity and multiplicity are quite the same in the crypto world. There are, presently, over a thousand five hundred (1,500) recognized cryptocurrencies existing and being traded. Out of the near-2000, only a few are mostly traded and of highest value – see: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) etc.
Cardano is also a good example…and we shall be highlighting some key features of the crypto, what you should know about it, its value (compared to...
