  Can the 'Blue Screen of Death' Shut You Down? Easily A historic outage occurred on Friday when employees of hospitals, airlines, banks and emergency services encountered the “blue screen of death”. Microsoft users from various countries reported being abruptly knocked offline. The issue stemmed from a malfunction in a routine software update developed by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which caused global paralysis of critical services. The scale of the impact was substantial. The failure led to major travel disruptions with a notable image of handwritten tickets circulating on social media as a result. Clients were unable to access their bank accounts, sparking widespread frustration and anxiety. Interestingly, Bitcoin and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) continued to operate flawlessly during the outage, demonstrating the resilience of decentralized systems. I think it’s a wake-up call for us all. It highlights the risks inherent in centralized systems. If a single point of f...

  Gary Gensler on the Way Out? What Upcoming Elections Might Mean for the SEC   Entrepreneur Mark Cuban has repeatedly called for the removal of Gary Gensler, the SEC Chairman. Last month, he even urged President Joe Biden to choose between Gensler and crypto voters. Cuban was sure that failure to do so could cost him the White House. His prediction, actually, has come true, so the question arises: who will head the SEC?  Rumors are circulating that Gary Gensler might be preparing to step down. According to Marcus Tilton, founder of 10x Research, Gensler could resign in early 2025, right after President Joe Biden leaves office. Although Gensler's official term expires on June 5, 2026, a potential victory by Donald Trump in the upcoming elections could accelerate Gensler's departure. Donald Trump has already promised to fire Gary Gensler, if elected in November.  In February, potential vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance criticized Gensler.  Vance called Gensl...

  Liberland: a unique experiment in governance  Liberland is a small microstate between Croatia and Serbia. It declared its independence in 2015. But none of this matters. What is important is its libertarian-oriented ideology. The ideology is based on protecting individual freedoms and supporting a free market economy. The founder of the state, Vit Jedlicka, inspires with his activities. This state strives to create a unique space in which the government will not interfere in the affairs of its citizens. In any case, if this happens, it will be limited. The core principles are meritocracy coupled with democratic and republican principles. The essence of this innovative state is governance through blockchain. It uses blockchain technology to create transparent and efficient government processes. These practices offer insights into alternative models of governance and economic organization. If you are interested in trends in the cryptocurrency and decentralized technology indus...

  Time and Fox are now using blockchain to fight fake news Global media brand Time and Fox Corporation are now using Fox’s Verify protocol for immutability of content licensing. The blockchain-based approach ensures the authenticity of journalists’ materials. This is one of the ways to tackle the problem of fake news and misinformation in mass media. Verify was launched in January 2024 on the Polygon proof-of-stake network. The origin and integrity of digital content is established with cryptography. This represents a significant step toward enhancing the credibility and authenticity of journalistic materials. It's exciting how this could reshape the media landscape. It would offer a new level of trust and transparency. Theoretically, all slanderous or false insults would become a thing of the past. However, I still have doubts about whether many media outlets will adopt it in the near future. Otherwise, it would become challenging to manipulate public opinion. Who would be willing...

  Blockchain: a new financial philosophy Blockchain and decentralization are changing our understanding of financial systems. I see blockchain not only as a technology, but also as a new management principle capable of becoming the foundation for various systems.

In the near future, we will see the growth of DEX and their integration into new digital realities of metaverses. This is a new era of cryptocurrency exchanges, and I'm excited to be part of these thrilling changes.

  The Future of GameFi: Predictions for 2024 We can expect a real boom in P2E games within the next year or two. What will be the key to success? In my view, it's a combination of unique gameplay, balanced tokenomics, and cutting-edge technologies like AR, VR, and metaverses. I find the potential integration of real-world assets (RWA) and NFTs into game mechanics particularly interesting. I believe this will open up a market worth trillions of dollars by 2030. It's important to understand that the new generation of games will go far beyond the gameplay we're used to. A well-thought-out reward system will be a key factor in retaining players. #GameFi #P2E #Blockchain #Gaming #predictions #analytics

  What if Donald Trump Wins? A Surge in New Crypto Investment Products is Expected Cryptocurrency lawyers expect a flood of new crypto ETFs to launch if Donald Trump wins the upcoming presidential election.   U.S. crypto lawyer Joe Carlasare predicts that the market will begin to resemble the stock ETFs we have today. Currently, investors buy indexes of trusted stocks.  Just the same way they will buy indexes of trusted cryptocurrencies in the future. The expert believes that influential players in the market, such as Bitwise and BlackRock, will develop a new type of ETF that is market cap-weighted. This means that each cryptocurrency in the ETF will be allocated proportionally to its market cap. Additionally, the ETF will be rebalanced quarterly to maintain these correct proportions. Like many crypto enthusiasts, I am also optimistic about the potential for positive changes in the crypto market. Donald Trump could accelerate this since he expressed his willingness ...

Goldman Sachs announced that it will launch three tokenization projects by the end of the year. Now it marks the shift of institutional traditional banks towards the cryptocurrency space.

It can potentially considerably reshape the investm...
