Bitcoin experts gave different reactions to the Florida court ruling last week that bitcoin is not currency, according to CNBC, including the view that the ruling doesn’t have much impact on the cryptocurrency’s future. Florida judge Teresa Pooler dismissed felony charges against Michell Espinoza who sold bitcoins to an undercover detective. Pooler ruled that bitcoins are […]

Recently, Changelly has included Lisk to supported cryptocurrencies. The brand new digital currency is now available for instant exchanging at the best rate. Apart from that, Changelly implements Lisk in its exchange API and widgets that could be useful for business.
As one of popular exchange services, Changelly strives to be up on current trends in crypto market and bring them to customers through a clear and handy interface. These trends concern Lisk, a nextgen cryptocurrency which is to resolve the problem of the blockchain scalability. Now Lisk is available for exchanging just in a few clicks from a wide range of cryptos, including Ethereum and Bitcoin. A regular user can instantly buy/sell the new crypto without jumping into tech stuff. Changelly is connected to the largest crypto exchanges, Poloniex, Bittrex, etc., and suggests the best currency rate at the given moment.
There is a Smart payin widget allowing to accept Lisk and alt coins from users and convert them into Bitcoin instantly. This option is crucial for digital wallets, merchants, crypto gambling, cloud mining and other services. According to the experience of Changelly customers, up to 40% of payments they could receive in altcoins.
For crypto news publishers, blockchain explorers, coin market analysts Changelly provides an exchange widget allowing to buy one crypto for another and monetize their audience. That usually gives much more profit on revenue share model, than banner advertisement.
About Changelly
Changelly is a multicurrency exchange service, created by the team of MinerGate, the oldest mining pool that has one of the longest track records on crypto market and provides solutions for the last mile problem of crypto exchanges.

Bitcoin exchange SurBitcoin has reportedly halted its fiat operations citing issues with Bansenco Bank, its bank service provider.
The Venezuelan startup, according to a thread on Reddit, has confirmed that its banking partner has frozen its business account following the complaint of an anonymous customer. Apparently, the said customer had recently requested Bansenco Bank to reverse a wire transfer that was earlier made to SurBitcoin. While the intention behind the person’s actions is still unclear, the fraud department at Bansenco Bank didn’t wait to find out, and froze the exchange’s active business accounts.
SurBitcoin, however, managed to uncover the reason being their frozen bank accounts only after speaking to the fraud department as everyone else. The Bitcoin exchange, meanwhile, is trying to negotiate terms with Bansenco, while ensuring that its services do not get interrupted. It reportedly has allowed Bitcoin trading on its platform to some extent, where traders can still execute their Bitcoin sell orders.
“We don’t hold much customer funds. Money is very hot in Venezuela. Approx 20k usd is frozen, and we are not allowing people to deposit bolivars either. We placed 20k usd worth of bitcoins for sale, so, people have an alternative,” – SurBitcoin confirmed on Reddit thread.
Community reaction, meanwhile, stands divided on the ongoing issue. While many believe that SurBitcoin is being straightforward, there are also some individuals that have cited issues that fall in line with the current ones.
The entire incident has taken place amidst rumors of Bitcoin building up its muscles in a poor economic scenario of Venezuela. The government’s response to the disruptive payment technology has been meagre, for it has openly bullied its presence in past (read here).
SurBitcoin is part of BlinkTrade, a blockchain company that also operates FoxBit exchange in Brazil, UrduBit in Pakistan, ChileBit in Chile and Vbtc in Vietnam.

The post Venezuelan Bitcoin Exchange SurBitcoin Halts Fiat Operations appeared first on NEWSBTC.
The Halving just happened, We’re all still alive, and so is Bitcoin! The first 12.5 BTC block was mined by F2Pool (the largest mining operation in the world) at 17:46 (GMT). Bitcoin price and hashrate seem to be stable after a 5% price drop just half an hour before the Halving.
The speculation is over and any dramatic changes regarding the value of Bitcoin will probably happen within the coming months if they occur at all.
Bitcoin saw some volatility in the last few months, which was overall positive considering BTC rose from $ 420 to $ 630 in a period of 3 months, reaching the $ 789.78 (Data via Bitfinex) mark on the 16th of June.
So what does the future hold for the 12,5 block reward Bitcoin? Some worry the block reward reduction will cause a big portion of miners to abandon the industry, thus slowing the Bitcoin blockchain, which would in turn cause the price to drop and drive even more miners out of the business, in a downward avalanche that could end Bitcoin (a Death Spiral).
This would be the worst case scenario for Bitcoin, which is unlikely to happen to the first cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $ 10.07 billion.
Innovation and development of mining hardware like the new Antminer S9 or the S7.
Many believe that new ASICs should balance the supply and demand scale, allowing the Bitcoin blockchain to remain healthy shaking the Death Spiral predictions the ground.
The new Antminer S9 has 14.5 TH/s hashing power. Supply is limited, however, and we should still see some volatility in the coming months, affecting all users and bitcoin-related companies.
Vlad Cealicu, CTO and co-founder of CryptoCompare said:
With the halving out of the way, we are expecting a lot of volatility in the Bitcoin price in the following week. Another interesting area to watch is bitcoin mining contracts and how the operators will cope with the reduced block reward.
One thing is sure, the halving already happened and nothing broke. We still don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, but whoever he, she or they might be, they can rejoice in the fact that Bitcoin survived another halving and continues to prove itself over again.

Ethereum Classic is dominating the cryptocurrency news cycle. After a slumber of some days following the Ethereum hard fork that refunded investors of the raided DAO, the unforked and re-named Ethereum blockchain and its native token classic ether (ETC) surged. Exchanges enabled trade in the digital currency, investors bought in, miners pointed their hardware to it, and a new development community began to form.
But Ethereum Classic also has led to chaos and uncertainty. The forked half of the chain — sometimes dubbed “Ethereum One,” and supported by the Ethereum Foundation — is still running as well. Ethereum has, therefore, effectively split into two networks: an unprecedented situation in the cryptocurrency space.
The question on everybody’s mind is, therefore: How will this end?
In this three-part series, Bitcoin Magazine provides an overview of some of the scenarios that circulate throughout the different Ethereum communities and the wider blockchain industry.
Part 1 of this series covered how the great Ethereum schism can end relatively well for Ethereum One (but not so much for Ethereum Classic.) Part 2 covered how the great Ethereum schism can end relatively well for Ethereum Classic (but not so much for Ethereum One.)
In Part 3: How the great Ethereum schism can end relatively badly for both Ethereum Classic and Ethereum One.
Author’s note: Not all scenarios or nuances may be accounted for, nor does inclusion in this list — or the order of it — say anything about likelihood.
Scenario 7: Ethereum Classic and Ethereum One Destroy Each Other
The seventh scenario is mostly attributed to (potential) adversaries of Ethereum — some have suggested adversaries from the Bitcoin-space. In this scenario, Ethereum Classic and Ethereum One engage in a sort of battle to the death that neither survives.
This could happen most obviously by technical failure. Replay attacks — transactions copied from one chain onto the other — already caused significant chaos. Perhaps other, so far undiscovered vulnerabilities, will be revealed soon.
But at this point, social failure scenarios may be a bigger threat.
One failure mode could result from a scenario where Ethereum Classic overtakes Ethereum One. It’s not unthinkable that this would disincentivize Ethereum’s most prolific developers to the point of quitting; especially if they sold their classic ether. And if not many new developers fill that gap, development may grind to a halt, potentially spelling the beginning of the end for both sides of the chain.
Another failure scenario is not unlike a potential failure scenario resulting from a contentious hard fork in Bitcoin. As explained by BitTorrent inventor Bram Cohen on Quora:
“Bitcoin the technical gizmo is very good at one particular thing: Answering the question ‘what is the current state of balances?’ with very strong consensus among everybody doing the answering. That isn’t going to change. What Bitcoin the technical gizmo can’t solve is answering the question ‘What is Bitcoin?’ The biggest immediate threat to Bitcoin is the potential creation of a multitude of hard forks, resulting in the whole thing collapsing in a mess of incompatible squabbling with no agreement over what the ‘real’ Bitcoin is.”
Ethereum Classic and Ethereum One do seem to be co-existing relatively peacefully so far. Both have their own name, their own currency, their own community, and more.
But this may change.
It may change if Ethereum Classic overtakes Ethereum One. A growing number of Ethereum Classic users may at that point logically (at least from their point of view) claim to be the real Ethereum, while the Ethereum One community may do the same.
It may also change through the legal system. At one point, a judge may have to decide which Ethereum is the real Ethereum. This could open up another can of worms — not in the least because the Ethereum protocol itself is sometimes claimed to be “above the law.” Not to mention that different courts in different jurisdictions might come to different opinions.
And these are only the two most obvious scenarios. There is probably a near-endless number of reasons for a divided community to “end up in a mess of incompatible squabbling.”
Scenario 8: Both Ethereum Versions Become Obsolete
This is the scenario expected by the permissioned blockchain-crowd and the “Bitcoin Maximalists” — just for completely different reasons.
For the permissioned blockchain-crowd, the Ethereum split is evidence that an open, permissionless cyrptocurrency-like system with no authority cannot offer a long-term value proposition. The future of this technology, they maintain, lies in adaptations that are better suited to exist within the current legal and financial systems, where responsibility is much better defined. Ethereum-like systems have no place in that future — they think.
Bitcoin Maximalists, meanwhile, believe there can be an open, permissionless cryptocurrency-like system with no authority — but only one: Bitcoin. They maintain there’s very little reason for any altcoins to have any long-term value; Bitcoin has the largest network effect and the most security, and they see in the coin-split a confirmation that Bitcoin has the best development community and most resilient infrastructure. Moreover, they maintain that most, if not all, useful futures from altcoins can be copied onto Bitcoin, either on the protocol level or as a sidechain. That includes Ethereum-like features. Rootstock, an Ethereum-like sidechain, is currently in development. And some Ethereum-like apps can already be applied as specific sidechains (such as Namecoin).
For Bitcoin Maximalists, therefore, all altcoins — including both versions of Ethereum — serve as testbeds for innovation at best, or pump-and-dump scams at worst. And Ethereum Classic and Ethereum One will do that equally well.

The story of Deutsche Bank being a systemic risk to the global economy is far from told. If this vast European institution would collapse, the European economy will see significant shockwaves for many years to come. According to Zerohedge, this collapse will only be a matter of time, although that may be overstating things a bit.
It has to be said, though, that Deutsche Bank has been digging its own grave for quite some time now. After refusing to admit their capital situation was not up to part, the institution finally admitted the need for help in 2013. However, it took them until 2014 and beyond before raising an additional 9.5 billion EUR.
But there are some factors even financial giants cannot control completely. Various attempts to get with the flow of digitization and cost-cutting measure shave yielded little to no success. To be more precise, close to 9,000 jobs will be axed in the coming months. To make matters worse, the bank will cease its operation in almost a dozen countries.
Particularly 2016 has been a horrible year for Deutsche Bank, which may put the final nail in the coffin of this giant in the coming years. Mounting rumors regarding the institution’s financial woes, rigging interest rates, the Brexit, and the recent IMF statement are not helping matters much. But the biggest shocker came from the US, as the Federal Reserve announced DB failed a stress test.
It will be impossible for Deutsche Bank to continue their operations as normal and pretend there is nothing wrong. It is a public secret this institution is on its hind legs, and they will need outside help, or completely revamp their business model. The bank raised funds in the past, albeit it still doesn’t seem enough. There is very little point in digging a new hole to fill up a previous hole.
Some people may be wondering what this situation will do for Bitcoin in the future. A failing megabank like Deutsche Bank is not necessarily positive news for the cryptocurrency. A lot of people will lose money, and it will be next to impossible to recover it all. In fact, it might be impossible to recover any of it, and it is not unlikely regular consumers will be affected as well.
People who still have a chance to pull their funds out might want to do so before things get out of hand. Investing part of that money in Bitcoin may be the smart idea for now, as traditional investment options offer little to no promising future right now. While some Bitcoin enthusiasts may see this impending collapse as a positive sign, but there is no reason to gloat at this stage.

It’s taken us a little longer than expected, but we’ve finally got some decent momentum in the bitcoin price. In yesterday’s analysis we highlighted the fact that – despite the fundamentals suggesting we might see some action – price had stayed relatively flat across the last week or so. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn’t make for particularly interesting intraday trading. Well, last night, price finally broke through resistance and we managed to get in and out for a quick scalp profit. It looks as though we may be correcting on the return side now, but with any luck, it’s a sign that the European session has something to give today.
So, as we head into a fresh session out of Europe, and as volume picks up on the mid week push, here’s a look at how we intend to approach today’s markets.
As ever, take a quick look at the candlestick chart below to get an idea of our key levels. It’s a five minute time frame (we are favoring these as late, compared to the standard fifteen minute) and it has our price parameters overlaid in green.
So, as the chart shows, the levels we are focusing on for today’s breakout and intrarange strategies are in term support to the downside at 644 and in term resistance to the upside at 651. The latter represents overnight highs, while the former is a recent swing low.
If price breaks through resistance to the upside, we will be looking to get in to a long trade towards an initial upside target of 660 flat. A stop loss on this one somewhere in the region of current price – say, around 648 – defines risk nicely.
To the downside, a close below support signals short towards 635. A stop at 647 works well on this one.

Freewallet’s Ethereum wallet is now available for Apple (NASDAQ : AAPL) iPhone users. The company known for its mobile first cryptocurrency wallet had its Ethereum wallet available only on Google (NASDAQ : GOOG — listed as Alphabet Inc.) Play Store for Android-powered mobile phone users until now.
Freewallet is a well-known developer with mobile wallets for four different digital currencies at the moment. While the Bitcoin wallet is popular among the users, other wallets created by the company includes the Ethereum Wallet, Monero Wallet, and Fantomcoin Wallet. Unlike other simple mobile wallets, the Freewallet application also includes built-in exchange and cold storage, making it stand apart from most of the players in the sector.
The Freewallet application’s availability on Apple App Store now opens a whole new segment of consumers to the company. Apple commands a considerable chunk of the total mobile phone market targeting the millennials, who coincidentally are also the largest digital currency user base in the world.
The inclusion of Freewallet also signifies gradual changes in Apple’s App Store policies which until recently restricted many cryptocurrency games and applications. It’s even more interesting to see a company that is less than 6 months old make it to both Google Play and Apple App Store, scoring over 15000 users through organic growth.
According to the founder of Freewallet, Alvin Hagg — The company was able to receive acceptance into the Apple App Store due to their Keep-it-simple philosophy, which is quite similar to that of Apple. The company has been concentrating more on the design and user experience part on their iOS application as Apple user are more sensitive to those.
Regarding the company’s marketing and PR strategy, Alvin was quoted on one of the publications saying,
“Freewallet is more focused on product development and customer service, than on promotion. We prefer providing timely support to our customers, rather than doing massive PR. We believe brand, loyalty, and trust are built on customer experience, not on marketing budgets”.
The current demographics of Freewallet app usage is comprised of over 25 percent of users who are new to cryptocurrencies. The simplicity of the platform makes it easier for first time users to understand and use Freewallet on their devices.
In the end, Alvin mentions the challenges of publishing a cryptocurrency application like Freewallet on Apple App Store. Unlike Google, Apple’s policies still need to evolve as it currently allows only developers with a legal background to publish such applications. According to Alvin, Tech Castles Limited, their mentor has been very instrumental in making the iOS version possible as Tech Castle’s legal position was leveraged upon to publish Freewallet on iOS app store. The app is currently published under Tech Castle’s name.

A new censorship debate is taking place on the Bitcoin GitHub page, and hardly anyone will be surprised Cobra-Bitcoin is involved in the mix once again. This latest issue revolves around whether or not Coinbase should be removed from the Bitcoin.org website. Apparently, their leadership keeps making ‘bad decisions” and they “try to undermine Bitcoin in some way”.
It is not surprising to see more censorship coming out of the /r/Bitcoin camp by any means these days. Over the past few months, there have been several incidents involved Reddit moderators, pull requests on GitHub, and Wikipedia entry editing regarding Bitcoin. All of these events are instigated by the same people, who claim to have the best interest of Bitcoin at heart.
As of right now, a debate has been spurred by Cobra-Bitcoin, a person who remains anonymous to the Bitcoin community, yet has very close ties to Theymos. His latest proposal would see Coinbase removed from the Bitcoin.org website, due to the company’s support of non-Bitcoin Core development at times.
It has to be said; Coinbase has supported Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Classic ever since the block size debate has begun. In recent days, the company also added Ethereum support to their platform, which is nothing more than a business decision. Then again, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated how Ethereum has a chance to overtake Bitcoin, which did not sit well with some community members.
Then again, it seems like this new idea is based on Cobra-Bitcoin’s own personal sentiments, rather than any wrongdoings by the company itself. Politics should have no place in the Bitcoin ecosystem, yet things like these rear their ugly head now and then.
At the same time, Coinbase has done a lot of good for the Bitcoin community as well. They were one of the first companies to bring thousands of new users into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Their efforts should not be forgotten about, and no one should pretend like Coinbase has done nothing to help Bitcoin just because it does not stroke their own political agenda. For some reason, that seems to be exactly what Cobra-Bitcoin is doing right now.
So far, it looks like some people are in support of the Cobra-Bitcoin proposal, whereas others are dismissing it. This is another discussion in the world of Bitcoin that is steering attention away from problems that need to be solved, such as the block size increase.

July 14, 2016 WASHINGTON, NC. – The Expanse Project, released a proof of concept version of its revolutionary decentralized governance services platform, Borderless.Tech. Borderless.tech is a coalition of globally accessible governance services forged out of smart contracts housed on the Expanse blockchain.
The brainchild of founder Christopher Franko, Lead Developer, community-managed Expanse runs on a decentralized application platform designed to allow more efficient mining and enabling dApp developers to create more powerful applications and innovations such as Borderless.Tech.
“You can think of Borderless.Tech as a decentralized, global political system without borders,”
Franko continued,
“Services such as citizenship, identity, notary, marriage, and more are easily able to adapt to specific needs of various groups that are choosing their own ways to be free.”
Why is Borderless Better?
The Borderless.Tech governance platform is designed to substantially lower the operational costs required to maintain borders as they exist today. Removing the artificial lines that separate societies allows for a smarter allocation of scarce resources, while at the same time introduces competition into the age-old governance monopolies. This software will disrupt the very way we, as a civilization, understand citizenship and what it means to be connected.
“When coupled with the power and flexibility Expanse provides, Borderless.Tech provides a stable foundation that the future can be built upon,”
Said James Clayton, Expanse Community Manager.
“By letting go of those restrictive imaginary lines, (borders), we become global citizens and a new type of identity emerges, which will allow all members of society to reach our full potential.”
Key Facts:
What Else Can We Expect to See from the Expanse Project in the Future?
Expanse has seen consistently increasing trading volume. Trading volume on both Poloniex and Bittrex continues to rise and is upwards of $ 2,733,540 on July 1. There are plans for Borderless.Tech smart contracts to be loadable to the Expanse wallet in the future. Also, watch for an announcement about a major new initiative in development where Expanse provides for Borderless Charity, which is a legal entity that uses voluntary donations from Borderless.tech to provide basic necessities for people in need. More to come on that exciting project very soon.
Get Involved with Borderless.Tech
Businesses, charities and even governments can use Expanse’s array of organizational tools to leverage the massive power of Borderless.Tech smart contracts. Expanse Newsletter #5, Borderless Begins provides more detailed information http://blog.expanse.tech.

Competition from the digital currency sector has forced Western Union to introduce new fee-free network payment structure called WU EDGE. The new platform is slated to enable transactions between two parties in a matter of minutes. With WU EDGE, Western Union (NYSE : WU) intends to compete with Bitcoin-based remittance and payments platforms that have been offering instant transfers since their introduction. However, there are currency exchange charges applicable for transactions over WU EDGE.
Until recently, there were limited options available for people to send money across geographical boundaries. Those away from their families; working in different countries; businesses working with international clients; and freelancers working on projects for those in other parts of the world, were all made to either execute a wire transfer from their bank accounts or use other centralized remittance services like the Western Union and MoneyGram (NASDAQ:MGI). In both the cases, the customer was forced to bear transaction charges and currency conversion fees. Depending upon the transaction size, these charges can turn out to be a small fortune. However, things have changed in the remittance market since bitcoin and other digital currencies made an appearance.
Bitcoin has disrupted the banking and financial sector with fast and inexpensive transactions, which combined with the other far-reaching applications of its underlying blockchain technology make automation of banking and financial operations possible. Being an open source, peer to peer platform for value transfer, Bitcoin has allowed many companies to come up with their own remittance services as a cheaper and a more economical alternative to conventional services like the Western Union.
The WU EDGE (Western Union Enterprise Digital Global Exchange) platform is built by Western Union Business Solutions, the business arm of Western Union Company. Currently available in 7 countries viz., Hong Kong, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic, the platform is open only for businesses.
In a quote, the President of Western Union Business Solutions Kerry Agiasotis says,
“Buying and selling overseas has never been easier, it’s now possible to make an international business payment in minutes… Since the launch of the WU EDGE platform businesses across the world have used the platform to support their aspirations to grow, invest and deliver the jobs of the future. We are very proud of today’s announcement; we view ourselves as business partners to our SME customers.”
WU EDGE platform is looking forward to connecting buyers and sellers across the world to offer real-time connections and payments. Whereas, Bitcoin allows everyone to make transactions irrespective of whether the parties are individuals or businesses.
We can see more platforms, coming up with similar features to keep up with the digital currency based financial services, which continue to offer a bargain over conventional ones.

As competition heats up amongst Bitcoin ETF providers SolidX and the Winklevoss Twins, another contender emerged to establish an exchange-traded fund based on a digital currency.
Recently found company called EtherIndex LLC officially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15 to offer the public and conventional investors opportunities to invest in Ether, the underlying currency of smart contract-based decentralized platform known as Ethereum.
Similar to existing public digital asset trade and investment tools such as Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Investment Trust and the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, Etherindex LLC’s Ether Trust offers investors with shares which represent interest in the net assets of the Trust.
“The Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in the net assets of the Trust,” a section of the official SEC filing states.
However, like the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, investors or buyers of the shares in EtherIndex Ether Trust will not be insured by the Trust for potential loss or theft of Ether. The Trust explains that investors must understand the risk in purchasing digital currencies like Ether and consider the possibility of loss, damage, theft, and restriction on access.
“The Trust’s ether may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access. There is a risk that part or all of the Trust’s ether could be lost, stolen or destroyed, potentially by the loss or theft of the private keys held by the Custodian associated with the public ether addresses that hold the Trust’s ether,” says the EtherIndex team.
“The Trust will not insure its ether. The Custodian will maintain insurance with regard to its custodial business on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations and will be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or policies,” they continued.
Historically and statistically, ETFs have premium prices over the actual digital currencies. It has been seen in Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Investment Trust and other existing public ETFs. One major reason investors are willing to pay a premium to these establishments and companies is to not deal with security or technology-related issues.
The Ethereum foundation declined to comment to Forbes, the first network to report on the story.

MEANINGFUL FUN & SOCIAL PROFIT
Caring Currency Project – a Fun and Exciting opportunity to be happier, make more friends find meaning in your life and build your reputation as being Part Of the Solution (POS) in business, society… JOIN US, and make China and the world a better place.
(How China Saved the World)
How? Help us create, develop and share the “Caring Currency” ecosystem – a much needed complimentary and alternative ecosystem to the high stress, high pressure, low satisfaction lifestyles we are living today. Become Part Of the Solution, create a Caring Currency used in a Lifestyle Of Health, Happiness And Sustainability (LOHHAS).
Ecosystem?
We live in ecosystems – Cultural, Financial and Environmental…they’re all related and interdependent. Actually, everything is dependent on our Environmental Ecosystem, because without food, water and air there is no human culture or opportunity to do business and support the human world we’ve created. Caring Currency will fill the gaps and connect the dots, making our lives meaningful.
The BLOCKCHAIN
The BLOCKCHAIN is the brilliant underlying technology of Bitcoin, creating a world-wide, peer-to-peer medium of exchange, accounting system with methods to store value. Build your reputation in a trustless system – no third party, but instead a face-to-face and peer-to-peer people-oriented platform. Caring Currency has priceless, special values – human values.
What about business? Show Me the Money…
Smart people realize that money is only money. You can’t eat or drink it. You can’t have a conversation with it, and as much as we need it and want it, it distorts our perspectives and controls our lives in many negative ways. The pursuit of money alone hurts us and the planet we depend on.
Caring Currency is a financial business on the BLOCKCHAIN – the home of the Republic Of Conscience.
Caring Currency is a New, Parallel World – in the Republic Of Conscience
Hard to define in old terms, nothing comparable to the Republic Of Conscience has existed until the connectivity of the internet and accounting of the BLOCKCHAIN made it possible… Old financial terms and structures that existed prior to the BLOCKCHAIN and Bitcoin – Money, Security, medium of exchange etc. will be naturally updated to freely serve people around the world in new ways.
Freedom..
Although we live different nations, with all their opportunities and restrictions, we can free ourselves from those burdens by changing our attitudes, outlook and decision-making criteria. Caring Currency expresses the Freedom of our individual State Of Mind in the Republic Of Conscience.
FUN…and Education
With a variety of fun coin names like KuaiLeBi (Happy Coin) and DUCKeCOIN, Caring Currency is (1.) first meant to bring light-hearted fun and smiles to people’s faces and make their lives and relationships happier, and (2.) secondly, exercise the practice of giving back to society, building generosity, social cohesion and harmony. (3.) Thirdly, give the masses practical, technical experience with virtualcurrency, wallets and transferring values through the BLOCKCHAIN.
INVESTMENT
What is most important to you? Money or Friends?
I have a question for you… can you buy friends?
Some people think they can, but the quality of those friendships are always very poor.
However, you can definitely “invest” in friendship by INVESTING IN YOURSELF. (To find more friends, you must invest in learning to BE a friend!)
HOW YOU CAN LEAD A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE
Take CARE of yourself,
Invest in yourself…
YOUR NETWORK – Join the leaders of the new world based on the BLOCKCHAIN…
YOUR EXPERTISE – the BLOCKCHAIN is less than 5 years old, you know more than most people!
YOUR SKILL SET – this is your opportunity to experiment, test and try new things!
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS – improve your relationships by improving yourself.
YOUR WEALTH – build a fortune to live a secure and meaningful future.
YOUR AMBITION – Helping others reach their positive goals, will provide the platform and resources for your ambitions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are developing a new way to “buy friends” and gain respect – winning their hearts and minds through appreciation and “gifting” through the Caring Currency ecosystem.
Some people call it “Pay It Forward” but simply put, we’re developing a system of quantifying, distributing and recycling our goodwill. Join us and learn more.
What we need: Your skills, passion and commitment.
The benefit to you… Participating with passionate people, where you will find inspiration to create your own state of mind, money-making businesses and spinoffs.
What you need to do – no experience necessary!
Show your courage, commitment and support – Send us a 3 Finger Photo of yourself, and a brief explanation of your skills and how you want to use your skills to create a Caring Currency for a better world. Don’t forget to smile_\!/
