Today i want to share my experience with Bitcoin. Probably everybody knows that the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper was the beginning of the whole crypto space. It's whitepaper was published 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, an alias for an unknown person or a group of persons who developed the core code of the BTC blockchain. I wish i would have discovered Bitcoin earlier because i bought my first 2.8 BTC in early 2017 for 7000$. Like everybody else, the altcoin hype end of 2017 also ignited me and i invested in several promising projects. Various disappointments during 2018 and 2019 led me to call myself a Bitcoin maximalist today. The most important thing for me is that BTC is independent of companies, the economy and countries. BTC still the most decentralized currency out there and wasn't created by any foundation or company. The high standard of decentralization and security leads to a lack of scalability (also called the Bitcoin trilemma). The developer groups of bitcoin are working steadily to improve this aspect and there are already several side projects and chains which try to solve it (Liquid by Blockstream, Lightning Network,...). For me, security and decentralisation is more important than the scalability aspect, that's why i hold more than 75% of my crypto assets in BTC today. I also believe that Bitcoin will always play a role in the crypto space. If Bitcoin fails, every other currency will suffer major setbacks. With a current market cap dominance of ~65%, most people in the crypto space probably think that way. In addition, the fact that Bitcoin will always enjoy the highest level of awareness among cryptocurrencies cannot be neglected. There are people who are calling "Proof of Work" outdated and a waste of energy. Several projects have better consensus algorythms, for example "Proof of Stake". This is a fact i can't deny, but nevertheless most of the other projects out there still are unable to solve the trilemma on a better way. I always would recommend to hold at least 50% of your crypto holding in BTC! :) Thank you for reading my review.Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with the Zilliqa project. What is Zilliqa? The slogan of the Zilliqa project is "Catalsysing Open Commerce". This means, Zilliqa was made for developers and enterprises who want to build decentralised applications. Where is the team located? The Zilliqa blockchain was developed by academics and engineers at the National University of Singapore, so it's a Singapore based project. When was the project created? Zilliqa was founded in 2018. The Mainnet of the Zilliqa blockchain was launched in January 2019 which was the biggest milestone so far. What consensus mechanism is used by the Zilliqa blockchain? The blockchain uses a proof of work algorithm, but they claim to be way more eco friendly compared to other PoW blockchains. Only 1 minute out of every 2-3 hours is needed to mine ZIL. What is the advantage of the Zilliqa blockchain compared to Ethereum? The Zilliqa blockchain was the first blockhain which successfully implemented sharding. This means that the platform can scale and is able to handle a growing ecosystem. The scalability issues of other blockchains seems to be solved by Zilliqa. What projects already using the Zilliqa technology? There are already famous projects which are based on the Zilliqa blockchain. Most famous examples are: - Unstoppable Domains, a project which offers uncensorable domains for everyone - Depos, a project which is offering stablecoin technologies. - Blockchain games like "Ocean Rumble". What are the data of the ZIL coin? Like mentioned above ZIL is running on it's on blockchain which is already in the mainnet since January 2019. It currently has a market cap of $212,082,745 USD with a circulating supply of 10,388,379,138 ZIL and a total supply of 13,679,846,291 ZIL. This leads to a current price of round 0,20$ per ZIL. Where can i buy ZIL? The ZIL coin has great liquidity because it is listed on almost all major exchanges. The most notable are: - Binance - Okex - Kucoin - Crypto .com - Huobi - Bittrex What is the purpose of the ZIL coin? Currently ZIL is used to reward miners of the ZIL blockchain for the power they provide to run the blockchain. Every transaction on the Zilliqa blockchain requires ZIL to pay transaction fees, so every project which is based on the Zilliqa blockchain need to buy, hold and use ZIL. Why should is buy ZIL? What can i expect in the future? Like many other projects, Zilliqa wants to switch the consensus mechanism of the Zilliqa blockchain to Proof of Stake. This means you can run a node and earn ZIL by stacking your existing ZIL holding in the furure. They rolled out Phase 0, which already allows you to stake your coins on Binance and Kucoin and get reward for it. With the upcoming Phase 1, you will be able to stake your ZIL coins on non custodial wallets, which allows you to earn by staking while knowing the private key of the wallet you are using. The more companies and projects decide to use the Zilliqa blockchain for their products, the more ZIL will be used and needed. What's your conclusion? Do you use the ZIL blockchain or do you recommend to invest? I'm not developing blockchain based products, so i don't have the need to use a blockchains for a product. If i would be a developer of a blockchain based product, i definitely would consider to choose the Zilliqa blockchain. There are not many competitors who are offering such a great scalability solution while ensuring that security won't be affected. THe sharding technology is a fantastic improvement and a lot of other or older blockchains are trying to implement it too. I hold a good amount of ZIL and already staked it on Kucoin. So I'm using the blockchain as a retailer. I am really looking forward to the upcoming Phase 1, because this will offer new possibilities for hodlers and users of this fantastic project. If you ask me if i recommend to invest, i would say: Give it a try, but always diversify and don't put all eggs in one basket. Thank you for reading my review.Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with Piixpay, an Crypto to Euro exchange. First i have to say: If you are searching for a exchange where you can spot trade, leverage trade or swap you tokens, Piixpay isn't the right place for you. But that's nothing bad, you just have to know what the intension of this exchange is. Piixpay is a "cash out" exchange for european users. There are around one hundred coins and tokens which can be sold on Piixpay. You can sell all of these tokens for Euro and automatically withdraw your fiat to your bank account. Set your IBAN in the settings and all of the tokens you exchange, will be transferred to your EUR bank account. The SEPA technology of the European space makes it possible to send cheap transactions to a lot of different IBANs, probably that's the reason why Piixpay only provides the possibility to exchange crypto to EUR. One of the greatest feature is their Instafill product. You can set your IBAN and crypto deposit adresses. All coins and tokens which will sent to these deposit adresses will be automatically converted to EUR and transferred to your bank account. If you are running a business which earns crypto, you always have the need to convert your crypto to pay the bills. The Instafill feature its a fantastic way for it because there is no need any longer to manually sell your different coins and tokens on different places and exchanges. Of course PiixPay want to make money too, so keep in mind that there is always a relatively high premium on the conversion rates. They should lower it a bit (at least for the stable coins). You can see in my Screenshot that you will pay around 3-4% premium if you are selling your USDC for EUR.Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with Ontology. The marketing slogan of ontology is "Trust Redefined". It's pretty accurate because the goal of ontology is to develop and provide several products to self sovereign your ID and data. They are currently offering several protocols, apps and services which offer features for this goal: ONT ID is a decentralized identity framework. It uses the blockchain and cryptographic technology to protect user privacy and ensures data security. DDXF is a decentralized protocol which allows the tokenization of data. ONTO is an app to store your data and ID in a secure wallet. It also supports several tokens. If you are a fan of DAPPs, you can search for other useful DAPPs directly in this app. SAGA is a decentralized data marketplace where you can monetize aquired data. Conclusion: I used the ONTO app and the ONT ID protocol for myself, Ontology is a great project which offers unique products for storing, securing and transfering data. Ontology is one of the older crypto projects, many people get the feeling that the progress of these old projects are too slow. There are many good examples that this feeling is true. Ontology isn't one of these examples. They make slow but steady progress, it still has a huge community/ user base and nearly every big exchange supports the ONT coin. Personally I'm not an investor of the project but i guess the chances that this project will survive aren't that bad.Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with the midnight blue card. I already wrote a review of other MCO cards of CDC, so these are just additional informations for this special card, you can read my opinion and experience of CDC in the other reviews. The midnight blue card is the free card of CDC. You don't need to buy CDCs native token MCO to get these card. Because it's the card with the lowest perks, there are several "disadvantages": - It's a plastic card and CDC only offers 1% cashback on all purchases with this card. - You can only withdraw 200$ on ATM for free (per month). Other cards come with way higher limits and more cashback for purchases, but you need to stake MCO to get them. Conclusion: I'm using a higher tier card of CDC, so i can tell you: It works perfectly. You can top up your card with crypto or fiat and receive cashback instantly for all purchases. It's a VISA card so you can use it nearly everywhere. If you don't want to buy some MCO tokens but you want a crypto credit card, you should order the midnight blue card. If you can afford to buy some MCO tokens, you should select a card with better perks, it will be worth it :) Thanks for reading my review. Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with the MCO token and the cryptoDOTcom app. I made a very detailed review about the cryptoDOTcom app, please read my other review of "CryptoDotCom Coin (CRO)". I want focus on creating a detailed list of benefits for MCO holders in this review. You can stake and lock MCO tokens on the app to get a lot of benefits: - You can order a free debit crypto card on the app but if you stake at least 50 MCO, you can receive metal debit cards with bigger cashback and number of benefits (see my other review for a detailed list of cards and benefits). - If you use this promo code "mxhs8nq3y4" and stake 50 MCO, you will receive a 50$ gift. You can do whatever you want with this 50$. - If you want to use the EARN programm of CryptoDOTCom, you will get more earnings if you stake 500 or more MCO. (4.5% p.a. for Bitcoin without stake, 6.5% p.a. for Bitcoin with stake). - If you stake 5000 MCO or more, you will get additional 2% p.a. for all your earnings of CryptoDOTcom EARN. - If you want to use The CREDIT program of CryptoDOTcom, there will be lower interest rates you will need to pay for your instant loan (12 p.a. interest without stake, 8 p.a. with 500 or more staked MCO). - If you stake 5000 MCO or more and order a obsidian black, icy white or rose gold card, you will get access to "CryptoDOTcom Private".

There are a lot of utility tokens out there without real utility. I'm really impressed by this, so 5 stars! :) Thanks for reading my review. Ver reseña completa

Today i want to share my experience with Bittrex Global Exchange. History: Like the name reveals, Bittrex Global is an exchange which is available in almost every country. It is one of the oldest exchanges out there, it was founded in 2013, headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Trading: It is an Crypto/Fiat exchange, so you can deposit fiat money on this exchange and trade fiat pairs like EUR or USD. Of course they also offer cryptp/crypto trading and crypto/stablecoin trading, like USDT. The number of supported tokens is huge! They are offering more than 300 trading pairs on their exchange. Trading Fees: The trading fees depend on your trading volume: $0 - 50K: Maker 0,20% Taker 0,20% $50K - 1M: Maker 0,12% Taker 0,18% $1M - 10M: Maker 0,05% Taker 0,15% $10M - 60M: Maker 0,02% Taker 0,10% $50M+: Maker 0,00% Taker 0,08% Until 30th April 2020, all EUR trading pairs will incur 0% trading fees! API Like most other exchange, they are also offering an high quality API. They implemented a Websocket API and a REST API. Security: Bittrex claims that they are always using the most reliable, effective security technologies available. According to their website, the majority (not 100%!) of funds are kept in a cold wallet. Conclusion: In my opinion, bittrex delevoped to a really good exchange which now adhere to most of the regulations of the countries. Trading fees are a bit high. To ensure fast withdrawals, the do not keep 100% of their funds in cold storage. This can make them vulnerable to hacks. Some other exchanges are ahead on this point. Nevertheless they are a good choice if you are searching for a reliable trading environment with a big number of supported coins and tokens. I hope you enjoyed my review and it was helpful.

Today i want to tell you something about the Dogecoin project. Dogecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies. Like most other crypto currencies, Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency. It was founded out of fun, the dog "Doge" is the mascot of Dogecoin. The There are still many people who are using dogecoin as their favorite method to send digital value to friends. You have to decide on your own if a fun coin is a serious investment, but nevertheless its great that something like dogecoin exists.Ver reseña completa

Today i want to tell you something about the decentralized exchange "ForkDelta". ForkDelta is an open source exchange which is completely decentralized. You can connect your hardware or metamask wallet to deposit or withdraw eth an tokens to or from the exchange. Like on other decentralized exchanges, there are no trading fees, but of course you will need to pay the transaction fees if you transfer tokens via the ether network. The amount of fees depend on the current workload of the ether blockchain. A great advantage of ForkDelta is the fact that there are ETH market pairs. A lot of decentralized exchanges are using wrapped ether pairs. This means you have to wrap your ether before you can trade on the exchange. This is a annoying step in my opinion. If you want to trade on ForkDelta, you don't need any wrapped Ether, you can trade with directly with the Ether that is stored on your wallet. Only negative point: Like on many other DEX, there is a huge amount of supported ERC-20 tokens. Unfortunately you will recognize that the liquidity for most of these pairs isn't good.

Today i want to tell you something about Energi. Energi is on of the most famous proof of stake coins in the crypto space. They got a lot of attention because of their earndrop. Everyone who participated in this earndrop received up to 110 NRG, which were approximately 200$ at the time of distribution. I also participated and i never took part in a more profitable earndrop/airdrop. If you decide to stake you coins, you will earn more interest than most other PoS projects are currently offering. The technology of Energi is just great. The fact that NRG is one of the most dezentralized projects out there is also remarkable. I really haven't much negative points to say. The only thing which comes to my mind is that NRG should be supported by more famous wallets. NRG has it's own blockchain and isn't a ERC-20 Token, so most wallet providers didn't implemented NRG yet.Ver reseña completa
