Howdie everyone!<\/p>\n

Hope you have not been fooled too many times in the last days, as there were lots of jokes around the crypto space. My favourite was\u00a0this one.<\/a>\u00a0So let’s start with the output from the recent\u00a0G20 summit<\/a>, and then go on with some food for your brain for the weekend!<\/p>\n

Bitcoin:<\/strong><\/u><\/span>
\n– Lightning is making its way to the mainstream, slowly but certainly.\u00a0Let’s look at its history.<\/a>
\n– Speaking of history, it’s useful to look at evolution of money in the\u00a0context of Bitcoin.<\/a>
\n– If you feel hopeless because of the price,\u00a0this might cheer you up.<\/a>
\n– Do not despair – Bitcoin\u00a0can’t be stopped<\/a>\u00a0anymore!
\n– And it’s not only because of the Lightning Network, but also Rootstock which uses the concept of sidechains to allows smart contracts on Bitcoin. Did you know the\u00a0difference between sidechains and drivechains?\u00a0<\/a>
\n– Also a\u00a0roadmap of what else we can expect<\/a>\u00a0in Bitcoin in the next months.
\n– Did you know that there are people who wrote code<\/a>\u00a0for Bitcoin wallets only with their eyes?
\n– And not only those are monitored by NSA,\u00a0according to Snowden.<\/a>
\n– SlushPool mined first\u00a0ASIC boost blocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ethereum:<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

– If you jumped into Ethereum just recently you certainly appreciate an\u00a0insight into its chronicles<\/a>.
\n– And you probably know that ETH does not use UTXO model like Bitcoin. But instead it utilizes\u00a0“states”<\/a>.
\n– You probably know that transacting on Ethereum consumes Gas. But\u00a0what it is and how it works?<\/a>
\n– The famous kitties got a\u00a0nice round of VC funding.<\/a>Altcoins:<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– Bad voices spread rumours that Monero transactions are not\u00a0that untraceable.<\/a>
\n– Monero’s team, however, did not wait for the\u00a0response\u00a0<\/a>too long.
\n– Aragon released a\u00a0new version<\/a>\u00a0of its Core wallet. Now you can play round with DAOs on the testnet.
\n– It’s been a while since the launch of Bancor – so\u00a0how it can be used for other tokens?\u00a0<\/a>
\n– 0x is one of the most prominent ETH-based altcoins. Take a look at its governance model<\/a>.
\n– What’s new in\u00a0Cosmos<\/a>\u00a0– one of a few projects that focus on interblockchain communication?
\n– Now you can\u00a0send Bitcoin Cash via SMS<\/a>.
\n– Very nice comparison of\u00a0smart contract platforms.<\/a>
\n– Zcash suffered from a\u00a0Twitter storm from Giacomo Zucco<\/a>. It was fun.
\n– Could\u00a0Cardano<\/a>\u00a0beat the Ethereum?
\n– CoinMarketCap.com is a go to place for anyone to find info about coins. Rumours are the folks there\u00a0abuse their position.<\/a>
\n– If you too feel\u00a0drowning in tokens<\/a>\u00a0– this is for you.Blockchain\u00a0Tech & Trends:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/u>
\n– Nice comparative\u00a0analysis of Blockchains vs. Distributed ledgers<\/a>\u00a0by Consensys.
\n– Interesting\u00a0podcast on Consensus Systems<\/a>
\n–\u00a0OTC trading spikes<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0past months!
\n–\u00a0SEC is going after crypto exchanges<\/a>.
\n– Coinbase will soon\u00a0add ERC20 tokens<\/a>.
\n– Why is\u00a0Proof-of-Stake inferior<\/a>\u00a0to PoW?
\n– World’s biggest crypto exchange – Binance – is\u00a0moving to Malta.<\/a>
\n– Many European companies are concerned with upcoming\u00a0GDPR, what does it mean for Blockchain?<\/a>
\n– Are truly\u00a0illicit activities financed mostly by crypto<\/a>?
\n– New vulnerabilities\u00a0exploited in Ledger HW<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
