Bitcoin vs. Ethereum: How are they different?

You may have heard of Ethereum. You’ve almost certainly heard of Bitcoin. You may even have heard of people making fortunes off of them. What you may not have heard is what exactly these two projects are. What Are Ethereum and Bitcoin?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution built on blockchain and advanced with AI

Blockchain technology is so synonymous with cryptocurrencies, and especially Bitcoin that it is almost like the financial sector has usurped its potential. In times like these, where an investing bear market has befallen the cryptocurrency space, it is easy to get down on the revolutionary possibilities of blockchain technology. Since the original Blockchain, that is Bitcoin, emerged, there has been a considerable focus on transactional blockchains which have been at the forefront of the mainstream understanding of the technology. Bitcoin is often the layman’s first point of call with the stories of investing success stories obscuring the view of other possibilities. However, blockchain technology is moving along in an undercurrent […]

Put your money where your trust is

Why Nifty Personal Loans is the lender for you. In light of the recent fine laid down to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for breaching anti-money laundering and counter terrorism laws, the credibility of Australian lenders has once again come under scrutiny. The massive $700 million settlement, the largest ever civil penalty in Australian corporate history, was agreed upon by CBA and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) earlier last week. It is said that CBA’s breach of anti-money laundering laws allowed large crime syndicates to launder funds through the bank’s ATM’s and Intelligent Deposit Machines (IDM’s). The bank and trusted lender failed to carry out appropriate assessment […]

Bitcoin bubble masks the real value of virtual currencies

At the end of last week the price of bitcoin sat at just over $US9000, half its high of $US20,000 in December: that’s a huge drop in value in a short space of time; January was the virtual currency’s worst month since February 2014. The recent sharp fall in the value of bitcoin is said to have been sparked by the South Korean government’s announcement it would crack down on the trade in cryptocurrencies (there are now nearly 1500 in a market worth around $680 billion). South Korea is the world’s largest market for this trade. US regulators are increasing their scrutiny of the market, and Facebook has banned all […]

Bitcoin futures trading company XBT Investments heads for the ASX

Investors who are unsure of how to buy or manage their own cryptocurrencies will have an easy way to be exposed to the volatile asset class, with the first bitcoin investment company readying to list on the ASX this quarter. The float of XBT Investments, which has a management agreement with BitFunds, will invest in bitcoin futures rather than own the cryptocurrency outright. This enables it to overcome the ASX’s listing rules which do not permit pure cryptocurrency investment companies. The listing comes as bitcoin starts the new year trading lower for the first time since 2015, having fallen from almost $18,000 to less than $17,300. The slide comes on […]
