First time for a crypto to be used in the mainstream.....the real mainstream instead of a promise of that in the future.....that could be huge. I also like the way that Kik appears to understand crypto very well and they seem intelligent on this.

Interesting take, I guess this is Adam? (Using first-person phrasing from a show's account makes things a little confusing ;) There are some points to respond to here: Control + Profit are pretty vital parts of any entrepreneurial enterprise. Without...
It depends on how the Waves project is managed and developed. protocol level DEX's may be better in this respect than smart contract ones on L2
I recently did a few recordings for a new show called TokenPoints, which specifically talks with people doing Non-Fungible Token projects. On episode 1 we discussed this question of "How much control does a project need in the beginning, and should t...
Control + Profit are pretty vital parts of any entrepreneurial enterprise. Without those as motivators to the apparently one guy who built it or the people who bought it from him, do you think Etherdelta would exist or be as successful? Without con...

Part of what makes Colony facinating is to see the enormity of the events that have taken place in the years since it’s conception and how in spite of these events, the proce...
Read More Legendface66 Zilliqa is a Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance based, public, programmable blockchain platform that uses Proof of Work as a syble resistance mechanism.

Today, in the midst of a blockchain boom, Brian’s focus is still on free software development. I spoke with Brian in October. We were both in ...
Read More Legendface66 "The DFINITY project was formed to research ways of enabling public decentralized networks to host a virtual computer of unlimited capacity. This rests upon a new blockchain computer that is similar in concept to Ethereum but has vastly improved performance and, ultimately, unlimited capacity. The starting requirement was that the systems developed should be useful in joining 1 million or more mining clients."
Huge claims, but the DFINITY project is indeed one of the most interesting infrastr...
Read More Legendface66 Artificial Intelligence Researcher Ben Goertzal and Blockchain Solution Architect, Simone Vulpem discuss the SingularityNet artificial intelligence marketplace.
