In a recent article featured in The Hill, Chris Larsen, co-founder and executive chairman of Ripple, suggested that the lack of clear regulatory clarity on cryptocurrencies and digital assets has put the United States in the position where it may lose its place as the global reserve currency once China tokenizes the Yuan. At the
During a talk on the BlockWorks Group YouTube channel, one of the more interesting topics of conversation between David Schwartz and Charlie Shrem were attack scenarios on both the XRP Ledger and Bitcoin. As XRP community members, we are frequently exposed to many of the detractions and limitations of the Bitcoin mining process, but we
Several months ago, Ripple posted an interview with Scott Chamberlain, an entrepreneurial fellow at the Australian National University College of Law. With funding through Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI), ANU launched two new courses exploring legal issues with the application of blockchain technology like smart contracts and the integration of artificial intelligence into a
Forte provided a preview of some of their upcoming blockchain gaming features during a recent PayID developer conference. The preview illustrated some of the social monetization techniques developers could leverage within the Forte blockchain. These social aspects of the Forte monetization platform are already present in the gaming ecosystem, but they occur informally or without
PayID seems poised to solve a problem plaguing the cryptocurrency community since the very first Bitcoin was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto – the requirement to input the long and cumbersome sequence of numbers found with most cryptocurrency account addresses.

The most annoying trend that I have noticed in both cryptocurrency and traditional news media is the tendency to report on the comments of Twitter users after a statement or event in the news. Their comments are not something the news media are interested in because they’re informative or exciting. The reason that these tweets
One of the missing cogs to mainstream cryptocurrency adoption has always been ease of use. The consequences of mismanaging private keys, seed words, and exchange passwords are catastrophic. Hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S or the Trezor mitigate remote theft of cryptocurrency by hackers and malware authors, but for the general public, they are
Picture this: Sometime in the not too distant future, a game-developer releases the simulation of a digital world. It’s predicated on trustless, blockchain-inspired technology. The world has a set of rules, and they play out independently of any overseer interference. The world has a digital economy powered by blockchain technology and uses a native digital
The XRP community is no stranger to big tech censorship. From the shadow banning of Twitter accounts back in 2018 to the outright suspension of prominent XRP community members like @XRPTrump in early 2019, social media platforms have been enforcing their peculiar and contradictory rules towards XRP supporters for a long time.
