After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides from those already utilizing Blockchain and NFTs, optimism was high among participants with 72% considering employing them to develop new games, 56% of which intend to do so in the next year. With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 61% of the developers, blockchain allows for more innovative and interesting gameplay. 55% said it secures value for players by keeping money in the game, while rewarding gamers with real-word value collected 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Keep in mind that 46% of the developers\u2019 interest in blockchain focuses on the
Play-to-Earn <\/a>trending business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla users who are looking at exploring payments in cryptocurrencies will have the ability to use Dogecoin. With the use of a DOGE-enabled wallet, funds can be transferred and used on Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices on the site are displayed<\/a> in both USD and DOGE. The Cyberwhistle<\/a> is listed for 300 DOGE or roughly $57 USD, and the Cyberquad is listed for 12020 DOGE or roughly $2300 USD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a previous $1.5 billion evalutation in July after a $100 million funding round, OpenSea has, in the eyes of the investors, had over a 600% gain in value within only a few months. With the recent NFT boom, these figures seem to match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, record highs in NFT trading volume was achieved. With over $3 billion worth of trades were made in August alone, despite a gradual decrease in sales, upwards of $2 billion per month since August has held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides from those already utilizing Blockchain and NFTs, optimism was high among participants with 72% considering employing them to develop new games, 56% of which intend to do so in the next year. With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 61% of the developers, blockchain allows for more innovative and interesting gameplay. 55% said it secures value for players by keeping money in the game, while rewarding gamers with real-word value collected 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Keep in mind that 46% of the developers\u2019 interest in blockchain focuses on the
Play-to-Earn <\/a>trending business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that note, Jean-Philippe Vergne, Associate Professor at UCL School of Management \u2013 added that

A recent poll, surveyed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a> found that from over 600,000 votes Cardano is the most preferred cryptocurrency as an alternative to Ethereum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1463583201113214987\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The partnership was announced only days after Adidas Originals purchased 144-parcel space in The Sandbox, a blockchain game and metaverse player, \u201cAdidas Originals is diving into the Metaverse and headed for the Sandbox with our first immersive and always-on virtual experience.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent poll, surveyed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a> found that from over 600,000 votes Cardano is the most preferred cryptocurrency as an alternative to Ethereum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet and technology attorney, Andrew Rossow stated \u201cIt is my personal opinion that since the government has recently focused its attention on inflation, that it has created concern for consumers - it's very easy to get stuck on previous market behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing the sell-offs as being part of consumers and investors expressing their that fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/adidasoriginals\/status\/1463571957249630223\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1463583201113214987\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The partnership was announced only days after Adidas Originals purchased 144-parcel space in The Sandbox, a blockchain game and metaverse player, \u201cAdidas Originals is diving into the Metaverse and headed for the Sandbox with our first immersive and always-on virtual experience. Join us as we take our first steps into this brave new world of originality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, OpenSea had been contacted first by the venture capitalists looking to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, record highs in NFT trading volume was achieved. With over $3 billion worth of trades were made in August alone, despite a gradual decrease in sales, upwards of $2 billion per month since August has held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent poll, surveyed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a> found that from over 600,000 votes Cardano is the most preferred cryptocurrency as an alternative to Ethereum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet and technology attorney, Andrew Rossow stated \u201cIt is my personal opinion that since the government has recently focused its attention on inflation, that it has created concern for consumers - it's very easy to get stuck on previous market behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/adidasoriginals\/status\/1463571957249630223\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1463583201113214987\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/adidasoriginals\/status\/1463571957249630223\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1463583201113214987\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The partnership was announced only days after Adidas Originals purchased 144-parcel space in The Sandbox, a blockchain game and metaverse player, \u201cAdidas Originals is diving into the Metaverse and headed for the Sandbox with our first immersive and always-on virtual experience. Join us as we take our first steps into this brave new world of originality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, OpenSea had been contacted first by the venture capitalists looking to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a previous $1.5 billion evalutation in July after a $100 million funding round, OpenSea has, in the eyes of the investors, had over a 600% gain in value within only a few months. With the recent NFT boom, these figures seem to match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, record highs in NFT trading volume was achieved. With over $3 billion worth of trades were made in August alone, despite a gradual decrease in sales, upwards of $2 billion per month since August has held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a recent backlash when the then head of product Nate Robinson was found to have been using insider trading to purchase NFTs was thrown into public light, was consequently asked to resign soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides from those already utilizing Blockchain and NFTs, optimism was high among participants with 72% considering employing them to develop new games, 56% of which intend to do so in the next year. With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 61% of the developers, blockchain allows for more innovative and interesting gameplay. 55% said it secures value for players by keeping money in the game, while rewarding gamers with real-word value collected 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Keep in mind that 46% of the developers\u2019 interest in blockchain focuses on the
Play-to-Earn <\/a>trending business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides from those already utilizing Blockchain and NFTs, optimism was high among participants with 72% considering employing them to develop new games, 56% of which intend to do so in the next year. With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 61% of the developers, blockchain allows for more innovative and interesting gameplay. 55% said it secures value for players by keeping money in the game, while rewarding gamers with real-word value collected 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Keep in mind that 46% of the developers\u2019 interest in blockchain focuses on the
Play-to-Earn <\/a>trending business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects.

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent poll, surveyed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a> found that from over 600,000 votes Cardano is the most preferred cryptocurrency as an alternative to Ethereum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet and technology attorney, Andrew Rossow stated \u201cIt is my personal opinion that since the government has recently focused its attention on inflation, that it has created concern for consumers - it's very easy to get stuck on previous market behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a previous $1.5 billion evalutation in July after a $100 million funding round, OpenSea has, in the eyes of the investors, had over a 600% gain in value within only a few months. With the recent NFT boom, these figures seem to match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, record highs in NFT trading volume was achieved. With over $3 billion worth of trades were made in August alone, despite a gradual decrease in sales, upwards of $2 billion per month since August has held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statistics show another journey to surpass the likes of Mastercard and Visa, but with Bitcoin's superior rates of growth compared to every single card network, it may be a short road to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bitcoin\u2019s growth in transaction volume has not always been linear year-on-year, Greg Cipolaro and Kochav said that it has \u201ckept up at a torrid pace when looking at 5-year compound annual growth rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report incorporates \"intra-entity exchanges,\" which are exchanges between addresses inside a similar wallet or possessed by a similar association. For instance, this may apply to an exchange that is, every now and again, moving Bitcoin around between various addresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, as such, take the $3-trillion figure with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The poll surveyed 197 video game developers in the USA and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asides from those already utilizing Blockchain and NFTs, optimism was high among participants with 72% considering employing them to develop new games, 56% of which intend to do so in the next year. With 64% of participants adding that blockchain technology will become prevalent in video gaming within the following 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 61% of the developers, blockchain allows for more innovative and interesting gameplay. 55% said it secures value for players by keeping money in the game, while rewarding gamers with real-word value collected 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Keep in mind that 46% of the developers\u2019 interest in blockchain focuses on the
Play-to-Earn <\/a>trending business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that note, Jean-Philippe Vergne, Associate Professor at UCL School of Management \u2013 added that

\u201cThis is astonishing growth, in our opinion, for a payment network that just had its 13th birthday,\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p> Greg Cipolaro and Ethan Kochav<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The statistics show another journey to surpass the likes of Mastercard and Visa, but with Bitcoin's superior rates of growth compared to every single card network, it may be a short road to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bitcoin\u2019s growth in transaction volume has not always been linear year-on-year, Greg Cipolaro and Kochav said that it has \u201ckept up at a torrid pace when looking at 5-year compound annual growth rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The report incorporates \"intra-entity exchanges,\" which are exchanges between addresses inside a similar wallet or possessed by a similar association. For instance, this may apply to an exchange that is, every now and again, moving Bitcoin around between various addresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, as such, take the $3-trillion figure with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent poll, surveyed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/a> found that from over 600,000 votes Cardano is the most preferred cryptocurrency as an alternative to Ethereum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original tweet was followed by a secondary poll where TRON was the favorite. The tweet had mixed reactions, mostly because everyone was shilling their own projects. Popular Dogecoin promoter Matt Wallace shared his opinion in a tweet<\/a> after the results were in \"The ironic thing is that Dogecoin actually is the future crypto of earth even though it is not even an option in this poll\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were more optimistic though, Justin Sun founder of TRON tweeted<\/a> that \"I hope It will be #TRON<\/a>, #Ethereum<\/a> and #BNB<\/a> all co-existing together in 2035!

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Government has started the development of a guide that will present limitations on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap presented by the Russian Government and approved by Deputy Chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko will work to ease the adoption of cryptocurrencies while halting financial instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will seek to provide a regulatory framework within the cryptocurrency markets having with an emphasis on violations and dangers within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadmap goes against the recently proposed blanket ban on cryptocurrencies - as per the Russian Central Bank. Suggesting that crypto-related activities such as payments, exchange, and mining be banned, as it risks financial stability for the citizens of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do Russia's Regulations Entail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Bank, through this guide, advocates having an administrative and prohibitive system for cryptocurrencies. This change of position comes after Putin demanded showing up at an agreement in regards to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin has recognized that, although cryptocurrencies convey a specific measure of hazard coming from its volatility, digital currency mining guarantees a ton of upper hand to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Russia enjoys the benefit of having the option to give cheap power, it will remain the third-biggest country for crypto mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla users who are looking at exploring payments in cryptocurrencies will have the ability to use Dogecoin. With the use of a DOGE-enabled wallet, funds can be transferred and used on Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices on the site are displayed<\/a> in both USD and DOGE. The Cyberwhistle<\/a> is listed for 300 DOGE or roughly $57 USD, and the Cyberquad is listed for 12020 DOGE or roughly $2300 USD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOGE payments do come with a catch, any purchases made with DOGE cannot be canceled, returned, or exchanged for another product - choose wisely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After news that Dogecoin<\/a> was to be accepted by Tesla, the price quickly rose 10% from $0.16 --> $0.21. After correcting to $0.19 the quick gain in its price shows the influence one single company can have on a coin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet and technology attorney, Andrew Rossow stated \u201cIt is my personal opinion that since the government has recently focused its attention on inflation, that it has created concern for consumers - it's very easy to get stuck on previous market behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent poll from Software firm, Stratis<\/a>, most video game developers from the States and the United Kingdom are interested in blockchain and NFT technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The survey revealed that 58% of American and British video game developers had incorporated blockchain technology into their endeavors. A further 47% have integrated non-fungible tokens in their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain Is The Future for Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent report from NYDIG found that the transactional volume within the Bitcoin network was higher than well-known card networks including American Express in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0was published on January 28th, 2022 by Greg Cipolaro the global head of research, and Ethan Kochav a research analyst at NYDIG<\/a> shared that Bitcoin had processed more than $3 Trillion in 2022. Exceeding both American Express at $1.3 Trillion and Discover at $0.5 Trillion - a huge milestone for the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statistics show another journey to surpass the likes of Mastercard and Visa, but with Bitcoin's superior rates of growth compared to every single card network, it may be a short road to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla users who are looking at exploring payments in cryptocurrencies will have the ability to use Dogecoin. With the use of a DOGE-enabled wallet, funds can be transferred and used on Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices on the site are displayed<\/a> in both USD and DOGE. The Cyberwhistle<\/a> is listed for 300 DOGE or roughly $57 USD, and the Cyberquad is listed for 12020 DOGE or roughly $2300 USD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOGE payments do come with a catch, any purchases made with DOGE cannot be canceled, returned, or exchanged for another product - choose wisely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teslas Influence On Dogecoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After news that Dogecoin<\/a> was to be accepted by Tesla, the price quickly rose 10% from $0.16 --> $0.21. After correcting to $0.19 the quick gain in its price shows the influence one single company can have on a coin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 10th recorded the lowest price of Bitcoin, $BTC, since September 21st, 2021 after it briefly dove below $40,000 USD to $39,677.65<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It quickly rebounded up to $42,000 later in the day. Various analysts of cryptocurrencies stepped in to offer their perspectives on the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Iadeluca founder & CEO of multi-strategy fund\u00a0Banz Capital stated that \u201cthe continuation of intense sell-offs, unexpected margin calls, and forced liquidations across the broad cryptocurrency market are driving Bitcoin prices below $40,000\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanuary is also historically a month where Bitcoin has crashed substantially directly prior to the beginning of a subsequent bear market, which may be adding some downward psychological pressure on Bitcoin traders\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet and technology attorney, Andrew Rossow stated \u201cIt is my personal opinion that since the government has recently focused its attention on inflation, that it has created concern for consumers - it's very easy to get stuck on previous market behavior.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing the sell-offs as being part of consumers and investors expressing their that fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest takeaway we continue to see with these kinds of drops and subsequent consumer behavior based upon those drops is speculation and a fear that bitcoin will never recover.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Bitcoin Dives Below $40,000 - Its Lowest Price Since September","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bitcoin-dives-below-40000-its-lowest-price-since-september","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:40:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:40:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3162","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2367,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-11-25 23:04:44","post_date_gmt":"2021-11-25 12:04:44","post_content":"\n

A partnership between Adidas Originals and crypto trading platform Coinbase has been announced, but the details still remain vague to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/adidasoriginals\/status\/1463571957249630223\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coinbase replied with the crypto community greeting, GM - Good Morning, because the crypto community is kind to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/1463583201113214987\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The partnership was announced only days after Adidas Originals purchased 144-parcel space in The Sandbox, a blockchain game and metaverse player, \u201cAdidas Originals is diving into the Metaverse and headed for the Sandbox with our first immersive and always-on virtual experience. Join us as we take our first steps into this brave new world of originality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some predict that the Coinbase x Adidas Originals Partnership may be linked with The Sandbox move, or it could be a seperate event and the newest partnership could be suggesting a possible move for Adidas Originals into the Non-Fungible Token world - with Coinbase acting as the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this partnership something to watch closely or is it 'Probably Nothing'?<\/p>\n","post_title":"Adidas Originals x Coinbase: The Newest Partnership In Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"adidas-originals-x-coinbase-partnership","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-01-08 18:51:49","post_modified_gmt":"2022-01-08 07:51:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=2367","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2340,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-11-23 23:19:47","post_date_gmt":"2021-11-23 12:19:47","post_content":"\n

The former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thinks that certain cryptocurrencies could threaten the dominance of not just the US Dollar, but the stability of whole nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a discussion of \"the new global order\", Clinton discusses with Bloomberg a variety of topics, namely trade policies and foreign relations in regards to China and Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton predicts \"the rise of artificial intelligence\" as a threat to nation-states and multinational corporations. She also believes that cryptocurrencies will have a negative impact on the US dollar - posing a threat to small and large nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne more area that I hope nation-states start paying greater attention to is the rise of cryptocurrency because what looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them, has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency, for destabilizing nations, perhaps starting with small ones but going much larger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton is also in agreeance with the blanket ban<\/a> imposed by the Chinese government upon all crypto-related business activities, contrary to popular belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears as though China is going to prevent outside technology payment systems, like the cryptocurrency development, from playing a big role inside China, because I think they recognize \u2013 given their nationalism \u2013 perhaps earlier than other nations in the US, Europe, elsewhere, that this could be a direct threat to sovereignty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we\u2019re talking about making decisions and trying to be strategic and building alliances, there\u2019s a whole new layer of activity that could be extremely destabilizing, and, in the wrong hands or in alliances with the wrong people, could be direct threats to many of our nation-states and certainly to the global currency markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenSea<\/a>, the leading NFT platform, has received offers from potential backers of the company at a valuation of $10 billion according to a report<\/a> from The Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, OpenSea had been contacted first by the venture capitalists looking to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a previous $1.5 billion evalutation in July after a $100 million funding round, OpenSea has, in the eyes of the investors, had over a 600% gain in value within only a few months. With the recent NFT boom, these figures seem to match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, record highs in NFT trading volume was achieved. With over $3 billion worth of trades were made in August alone, despite a gradual decrease in sales, upwards of $2 billion per month since August has held steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a recent backlash when the then head of product Nate Robinson was found to have been using insider trading to purchase NFTs was thrown into public light, was consequently asked to resign soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
