With the Bitcoin launch in 2009, cryptocurrencies firmly entered our life. However, the crypto industry is still a space where it is possible to become a millionaire just in one night.

Here is a look at the list of top crypto names and the remarkable achievements these people have made.

The market of cryptocurrency is gaining momentum like never before. With the price of Bitcoin and the combined market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies setting new records, the interest towards blockchain technologies is at its all-time high. It has been 12 years since Bitcoin was invented by a person (or a group) named Satoshi Nakamoto. In these 12 years, the very growth of blockchain technologies has been driven entirely by innovations. Fortunately, it became more useful, scalable, and more secure. 

Since technological innovation is similar to the currency within the crypto market, both developers and investors depend on knowledge. The whole community keeps looking for new books on blockchain technology to keep themselves updated. In this article, we have scanned the vast world of crypto books written so far and came up with some recommendations for all crypto enthusiasts!

Hi there! This is the fifth article in the series. This time, we will learn how to maintain rigs to ensure long service life.

Hey everyone and Happy Holidays!

Here’s an important bit of info for you all.

Over the last three days, ChangeNOW had to deal with an unprecedented amount of customer activity. The situation resulted in a system crash that caused delays and even failures of quite a number of transactions. 

Since the beginning of 2020, the number of Bitcoin ATMs has doubled; 30 new Bitcoin ATM machines get installed every day. Okay, what makes them so popular? How do you buy Bitcoin with an ATM? How to find a Bitcoin ATM? You probably have a ton of questions making you feel like exploding!

This week, ChangeNOW has integrated a new fiat provider — Coinify. It is known to be a trusted, compliant, and fuss-free crypto gateway. We believe this collaboration to be a great step towards further facilitating fiat-to-crypto transactions and giving our customers more options to choose from.

Do all cryptocurrencies use blockchain? As it has been shown for Hedera Hashgraph, it’s not obligatory. At the same time, an opportunity to use blockchain beyond Bitcoin is quite recent. The decentralized cryptocurrency bandwagon’s diversity and the variety of ways to use these bitcoin alternatives make atypical blockchains a force to reckon with.

It’s not necessary to use a “standard” blockchain in order to build your own cryptocurrency. “Atypical” blockchains are widely implemented in a great range of areas (the banking industry, the gaming industry, the real estate industry, etc.). In gaming, blockchain is leveraged to purchase in-game items and remove the large corporations’ intrusion (they often eat up a large chunk of the game developer’s revenue). In the real estate industry, blockchain works as a boon for real estate customers, who do not have to pay the middlemen a significant sum (1-2% of their total property value). 

Atypical blockchain networks are also being used for managing entertainment and sports events. Some platforms are even using their native tokens for supporting sports talents!

When many different cryptocurrencies emerged in the early 2010s, there was an increase in demand for platforms where these assets could be swapped and traded. This is how cryptocurrency exchanges appeared. Historically, centralized exchanges (CEXs) came first: they managed to attract traders from all over the world and became highly liquid. CEXs are key drivers of the entire crypto industry; basically, they set the crypto assets’ prices. 

DEX crypto exchanges have been largely known for their poor liquidity and less comfortable interfaces as well as lowered security risks; however, recently privacy has become much more prioritized. Thanks to Uniswap and other decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, the industry is changing right before our eyes! 

In this crypto exchange review, we will compare decentralized and centralized exchanges and consider their pros and cons.
