Not too long ago Facebook blocked all crypto related ads on their platform. Now they are recruiting for several blockchain positions.

Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey Now Buys $10K Of BTC A Week

by Will Long | Mar 7, 2019 | Bitcoin, blog, News

Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO stated on a recent podcast that he is maxing out the limits on the Square Cash App and purchasing $10,000 dollars of Bitcoin a week.

TIL @jack is maxing out the weekly $10k BTC buy limit. I guess smart money has been loading up on cheap BTC all along. https://t.co/zs1R04zn45

If the Twitter CEO wants to buy more Bitcoin, we suggest he turn to Coinbase. Buy and sell limits are much higher.

On Coinbase regular users can purchase $25,000 a week. Verified users can purchase $25,000 a day. But once the funds are in your Coinbase wallet, there are no buy or sell limits.

What Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO is likely doing is simply a dollar cost average strategy. Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where a large purchase of a financial asset like an equity or cryptocurrency is spread out over time with the goal of reducing the impact of volatility.

From newsbtc.com:

“In a surprising turn in the conversation, he explained that he purchased $10,000 worth of Bitcoin, which currently amounts to 2.7 BTC, over recent weeks, and could do the same again in the following. Doing some napkin math, this works out to around $520,000 in cryptocurrency purchases a year (considering he doesn’t go over that amount or purchase any other digital assets) — or about 0.0928% of his $5.6 billion net worth. Although this isn’t a relatively large amount percentage-wise, it shows that Dorsey is looking to accumulate for the long haul, as he dollar-cost averages in.”

Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey Discusses Bitcoin On The Joe Rogan Podcast:

Are you ready for the next crypto bull run? Many investors are using strategies like dollar cost averaging to build a diversified portfolio in preparation for the next major price movement. Stay tuned to the Bitcoinshirtz blog for the latest news from the Bitcoin and blockchain industry. 👍

STEEM Monsters Is An Epic Blockchain Trading Card Game

by Will Long | Oct 24, 2018 | Blockchain Technology, Cryptocurrency, News, Steemit, Video

STEEM Monsters is a badass new game on the STEEM blockchain! The digital, role-playing, trading card game was created by Jesse Reich.

“Collect and trade cards on the blockchain! Level them up and then compete in individual and Guild PvP Tournaments and EPIC BOSS FIGHTS!”

You can buy cards now on steemmonsters.com! Previously users could only purchase cards with the STEEM cryptocurrency, but now STEEM Monsters is accepting both credit cards and PayPal.

STEEM users are buying these cards up like crazy as they could be worth a pretty penny in the future. We think the card game is pretty revolutionary. We have yet to see someone else create this type of game on a blockchain.

How To Play STEEM Monsters:

A cataclysmic event, known as The Splintering, violently reshaped a once peaceful landscape into six separate kingdoms.

The world was thrust into chaos and war as the inhabitants of the six known Splinters fought for control of what became known as the Splinterlands.

An ancient prophecy foretells of a hero who will reunite the Splinters against the Greater Enemy, saving the world from a near inevitable doom.

Could that hero be you? Choose your Summoner, choose your Monsters, and prepare for battle! The player who builds the best team will find glory on the Battlegrounds, fame on the leaderboards, and fortune in the Grand Tournament!

Why Blockchain?

FAST AND FREE

The Steem blockchain has transaction speeds of about 3 seconds, can handle thousands of transactions per second, and zero transaction fees! Unlike other blockchain platforms, that means the only cost is the cards themselves. You can play, buy, sell, and trade at lightning speeds and…for free!

PROVABLE SCARCITY

Thanks to the full transparency of the blockchain’s distributed ledger, it’s easy to see how many of each different card exist in the entire game. So unlike in games like Hearthstone, you can see exactly how rare, and valuable your cards actually are!

TRUE ASSET OWNERSHIP

With the blockchain, your cards are actually yours, and they can only be transfered with your private keys. This means that even the creators of the game cannot take them away from you and you are free to buy, sell, or trade them just like physical trading cards!

VERIFIABLE RESULTS

All of the battle results, and the cards contained in Booster packs, are generated by a published algorithm based on unpredictable data from the blockchain itself. This means that no one, even the creators, can tamper with battle results, or give certain players better cards in packs.

New US Congress Report Praises Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology

by Will Long | Apr 8, 2018 | Bitcoin, blog, Cryptocurrency, News

The report is generally positive on the matter of cryptocurrency, which is surprising. They want “policymakers” to be more educated about blockchain and its potential.

It seems the US government is warming up to crypto and accepting the fact that blockchains are not going away.

Excerpts From The Cryptocurrency Report:

Blockchain Looks Like the New Internet

“The buzz surrounding digital currencies resembles the internet excitement in the late 1990s when people recognized technology companies could change the world. Many internet companies launched and their valuations took off in short order. Many failed, but a few succeeded spectacularly and challenged the conventional ways of doing business.”

Cryptocurrencies Could Outshine Government Fiat

“Some critics of currencies controlled by government fiat welcome cryptocurrencies because their supply is preprogrammed and perceived as unchangeable. For example, only 21 million bitcoins will ever be issued and the last fraction of a bitcoin will be issued in approximately 2140. Additionally, the creator of Ethereum designed its mining reward to decline exponentially as more miners create blocks, and according to his calculations the supply will be just over 100 million ether.”

Blockchain Is Secure and Efficient

“Cryptocurrencies and ICOs create headlines, and the pace of financial innovation in the blockchain space amazes skeptics. Yet, with all the headlines focusing on the financial applications, people may miss the digital revolution now happening with other blockchain applications. Even worse, people could be frightened about new developments with the technology as they associate blockchains with the negative headlines. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, secure, and efficient way to store almost any form of data across multiple platforms.”

The Conclusion

“Technology presents evolving challenges and generates new solutions. Blockchain technology essentially stores and transmits data securely, in large volume, and at high speeds. So far, the technology has proved largely resistant to hacking, and given this feature, developers first applied it to digital currencies. Yet blockchain has many more potential applications, such as portable medical records and securing the critical financial and energy infrastructure that the Report identified.”
