The collaboration team would utilize the cloud technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to introduce data management and identity securing platform with the goal of being the cheapest and most integratable to lower the barrier to entry for businesses of any size.

 “ShareRing is extremely pleased to work with Tencent Cloud in developing a world-first identity and document management platform.

We have strong confidence in Tencent Cloud’s capability as one of the most reliable, high-performance, and globally recognized cloud services providers in the world.” Tim Bos, CEO of ShareRing

The new project would first be launched in Southeast Asia, a region that has been heavily affected by the Corona Virus through travel restrictions. Both companies plan on combining technological resources together such as the combination of ShareRings distributed ledger technology (DLT) with Tencent cloud optical character recognition (OCR). This converts characters into text, helping improve the efficiency and accuracy of data entry. Tencent and shareRing plans on helping Southeast Asians with the developments they plan on building.

The ShareRing App

The ShareRing app is a travel platform that will allow users to have access to practically everything concerning travels ranging from hotel reservations, flights, insurance policies, car rentals and tour packages. To add all these, they are also working on an open World passport, the first anonymous contact tracing passport that can be integrated with e-visa on arrival system (eVOA), travel insurance companies, airlines, hotels and retail shops.

The app has already gotten large interest from leaders in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region and they are closely working with Thailand to introduce it in the country.

Both projects hope to solve the issue of projects competing over liquidity across all exchanges. It says that crypto assets today are distributed over 200+ exchanges and all projects are competing for a finite amount of liquidity. They plan to solve this by developing a decentralized platform where all liquidity from the entire crypto market will be aggregated into one platform. They would aggregate the order book, depth and price price discovery from all centralized and decentralized digital asset markets.

The product is called Orion Terminal, a decentralized gateway to the entire digital asset market.

Bonded Finance plans on developing an algorithm that will help aggregate, derisk and unlock 50 million in dormant value distributed amongst untapped digital assets. They would also allow altcoin projects that are qualified to borrow against their assets, or pool them and start earning.

The collaboration allows for locked and staked ORN tokens to be made available for yield generation via the Bonded Finance Smart Contracts.  Holders of ORN will have access to Ionic, Bondeds lending / borrowing product. This access will allow them to loan and borrow ORN, Access capital resources, earn as they hold and to also earn from the liquidity incentives.

Alexey Koloskov, CEO + Co-Founder of Orion Protocol states “With a shared mission of bringing greater liquidity, accessibility, and value to open finance, we’re proud to be partnering with Bonded Finance. This will enable ORN holders to further monetize their assets by unlocking even deeper yield generation opportunities, earn liquidity incentives, and loan and borrow ORN – all while furthering ORN’s utility within Bonded’s growing ecosystem.”

Orion protocol would help Bonded Finance by providing them with their protocol’s liquidity API which would allow for streamlined Liquidation of assets available on the Bonded platform thereby allowing it to perform a wide market sweep across all exchanges in the market to efficiently handle potential liquidations. The provision of the API by Orion protocol would allow Bonded finance to transact large quantities of assets strategically without risks associated with it.

Paul Mak, CEO of Bonded Finance, states, “To have a single-source liquidity provider amidst this fragmentation is a small miracle. As we move forward, Orion’s solution will allow us to list more assets and provide smaller projects with needed support. It’s a win for the space.”

Orion Protocol

It is built on the most advanced liquidity aggregator ever developed, Orion Protocol aggregates the liquidity of every single crypto exchange into one platform: providing a decentralized gateway to the entire digital asset market. In doing so, Orion is building a protocol on which to bridge the worlds of crypto, traditional finance, and real world assets.

Bonded Finance

The Bonded platform was created to incubate and deploy experimental, high-yield, smart-contract driven, financial instruments that push the bounds of open finance. Bonding is an algorithmic model that aims to unlock, aggregate and de-risk ~50 billion in dormant value distributed amongst untapped digital assets by allowing supporters of qualifying altcoin projects the opportunity to borrow against these assets or pool them and start earning.

Fengari meaning Moon in Greek, is said to symbolize the starting point of KardiaChains 420 days Voyage announced previously. The testnet 3.0 will allow staking and implements full BFT dPos consensus.

The Fengari release achieved over 6000 TPS (Transaction Per Second) in the local development environment. It supports an almost-instant blocktime of 1 sec with a stable 5 seconds block time under the stress test. The testnet 3.0 Fengari handles the TX pools more efficiently compared to previous testnet versions thereby ensuring faster processing. Consensus implementation has been  improved significantly and it has led to the reduction of handshake time and confirmation time between validators.

“This testnet will technically be very close to the upcoming mainnet, starting with 21 genesis validators and five boot nodes to secure the network.”

The wallets and exposure has also been improved in such aspects as instant transactions Hash search, instant Faucet token reception, instant transaction loading and searchable single address transaction fully address available transaction history, UX and UI enhancement.

The development on Fengari is a culmination of many technical, UI, and UX improvements which the KardiaChain team gathered from the feedback and bug bounty reports from the community.

The team is also launching a Bug Bounty program with 1,000,000 KAI pool rewards. Users are asked to test and interact with Smart contracts, stake and become validators on the testnet through various activities in their campaign.

The tweet was a comment made in regards to a Forbes article where a major Tesla investor had predicted that Bitcoin would be worth more than $1 Trillion in 5 to10 years. 

The prediction was made by Yassine Elmandjra, an investment management Analyst in Ark, they are popular for predicting a price target for Tesla.

“Bitcoin offers one of the most compelling risk-reward profiles among assets, as our analysis suggests it should scale from roughly $200 billion today to $1-5 trillion network capitalization during the next five to ten years,” Ark Investment Management analyst, Yassine Elmandjra, wrote in a report out last month, adding that investors shouldn’t ignore bitcoin as an asset class.

“Our analysis suggests bitcoin is early on its path to monetization, with substantial appreciation potential,” Elmandjra wrote. “In our view, bitcoin’s $200 billion market capitalization—or network value—will scale more than an order of magnitude to the trillions during the next decade.”

Best Performing Asset.

Bitcoin has maintained it’s post as the best performing in the last decade, irrespective of the fact that it did pump to over $20,000 and is currently sitting at $10,898. It is interesting to still see individuals and investment Analysis firms to still maintain their Bullish view on Bitcoin.

There is a lot of projects out there with nice ideas and compatible team, we will be looking into Reviewing them. just let us know what project you think is worth looking out for.

The amount of ETH one should own will depend solely on that person’s personal preference and whether or not they plan to stake ETH.

32 ETH Minimum for Staking

To stake ETH, you will be required to maintain a minimum of 32 ETH to run a validator. Staking Ethereum is said to yield rewards of anywhere from 4.5% to 10.5% and these figures will vary depending on the total amount of ETH you’re staking. The more ETH you stake, the smaller the percent reward gets.

This is to level the playing field and allow those with smaller staking balances to yield a worthwhile reward.

Passive Income Earnings

How much ETH you should hold will highly depend on how much passive income you want to earn from staking. Using an ethereum staking calculator, you can determine the average earnings from how much you wish to stake.

If you stake 1000 ETH, you can expect to earn around 80 ETH for the 1st year. While that is less than $20k right now, by the time you receive those rewards, ETH can be much more valuable.

Watch this video to learn more about how much Ethereum you should hold and future ETH price predictions

High Demand, Low Supply

With Ethereum staking launching soon, demand is steadily increasing to own the minimum 32 ETH that’s required to run a validator. Many people are also increasing their ETH holding stacks in order to earn more passive income once staking is live.

Recently Paul Tudor Jones announced that he has invested in Crypto as a hedge against inflation. This may soon result in a surge of demand for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.

The surge in demand of new investors at the same time as Ethereum is launching staking can result in a bull run unlike anything we have seen.

I believe Ethereum will be the best performing digital asset for the next year.

Not long after this, most of the Crypto Twitter community had already chimed in and given their best shot to explain Bitcoin in as simplest terms as possible.

Bitcoin Twitter Response

Elon Musk Responds

Not long after, Elon Musk responding with a tweet that actually made a lot of sense and was bullish for Bitcoin in general.

Drunk Rowling

Unfortunately, Rowling already had 4 strong drinks in her system by the time she got all of these responses from Crypto Twitter attempting to explain what Bitcoin is.

I’m only allowing myself alcohol at weekends during this lockdown and I’m on my fourth very strong Old Fashioned and honestly, you might as well send me a scroll written in Sanskrit. – J.K. Rowling

Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin’s Response

One of the best responses I saw was from Vitalik Butern pointing out exactly why Bitcoin is so valuable. With ETH2 Staking launching soon, Ethereum will have a huge surge of demand during all the retail investors getting in.

Fear of Inflation

Lately many people have been discussing the impending inflation that is coming due to the feds printing trillions of dollars for stimulus packages and to prop up the economy during the pandemic. This has stemmed fear into many people that their savings will soon lose much of its purchasing power and as a result, people are considering Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies for the first time.

Recently Paul Tudor Jones announced he holds 1% of his wealth in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. Around this time Bitcoin also had it’s 3rd halving event, reducing the total number of Bitcoin created per day.

This means supply is decreasing, while demand is increasing and could cause a huge price spike in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Conclusion

We are seeing more people take interest to Bitcoin lately than ever before and I believe this will result in a new retail demand for Crypto unlike anything we have seen before.

Bitcoin was created in 2008 during the last recession for this exact purpose. Will we finally see Bitcoin, Ethereum and other crypto’s finally get the lime light and pass the 1 trillion dollar global market cap for the first time?

SparkPoint is an innovative project being built in the Philippines that aims to build as much utility as possible for their token, at the same time as creating unique products that can improve the quality of life for their users. They plan to achieve this by applying blockchain techonology and cryptocurrency rewards to their products.

The SparkX Wallet

One key product that SparkPoint has already developed is their SparkX cryptocurrency wallet. This wallet is the first ever non-custodial wallet in the Philippines and has innovative features such as built-in crypto exchange, support for dozens of cryptocurrency coins and tokens and an affiliate program to earn SRK tokens for referring friends.

The SparkPoint team has plans to develop their SparkX wallet into one of the best wallets in the crypto space by constantly adding new features and updates. Plans to add a marketplace (SparkPlace), a gaming platform (SparkPlay) and an e-learning portal (SparkLearn).

Gaming Apps and Platform

Gaming in blockchain is growing rapidly with NFTs and the option to implement cryptocurrency rewards and payments. One of SparkPoint’s main focuses is creating a wide variety of blockchain games with crypto rewards.

They have already launched their first game: Crypto Slicer and are soon to launch their second game: Crypto Burst, with a couple more already in development. The team is currently hosting their second Crypto Slicer tournament with SRK token rewards for top 100 and are close to finishing their SparkPlay platform.

SRK Token Buy Back Program

SparkPoint also recently announced their Buy Back program, which will use revenue earned from in-game ads and IAP (in app purchases) to buy back SRK tokens on the open market. This buy back program is a key feature of the project that will allow steady growth, while being able to reward their users with SRK tokens each month.

Quarterly Token Burn

At the time of creating the SparkPoint project, there was 20 billion SRK tokens in total. By doing quarterly token burns, the team has reduced the total supply of SRK from 20 billion down to 14.5 billion and have plans to further reduce that to 10 billion or less.

Delivery App Created For Philippines

Another very innovative product that SparkPoint has developed is their delivery platform that incorporates blockchain and SRK token rewards. They have already finished 2 apps for this platform that are on the Google Play Store.

By adding crypto rewards to a delivery app, they open the door to many new possibilities that other delivery apps don’t have. For example, they can allow restaurants to offer a discount if paid in SRK tokens or give a bonus of SRK tokens to the delivery driver.

SparkPoint is currently in the process of relocating this delivery platform to a bigger city in the Philippines for better adoption and more partners.

More On The Horizon

With many innovative products in development, SparkPoint isn’t stopping there. They are also working on many other ideas on the back end to give the SRK token as much utility as possible, while growing the project and ecosystem. Recently the team met with a Union Bank representative to discuss a possible partnership in the Philippines.

Very Low Market Cap

With all the features and products already developed by this project, it’s hard to believe the market cap is currently below $200,000. Most crypto projects in the top 100 don’t even have finished products yet and have market cap in the multi-millions. With a market cap this low and a deflationary total supply, I believe this project could move up the ranks in market cap very quickly.

Conclusion

With SparkPoint already having 4 apps released and another being released in a week, it’s hard to believe this project is only around 1 years old. If their second year is as productive as their first year, then I can see this project breaking into the top 100 in market cap very easily. It’s hard to find projects that actually have a good vision and are innovating new products that haven’t been done yet. This is why SparkPoint SRK token is one of my top pick hidden gems in the crypto space.

After news that China has over 70% of Bitcoin mining power, we got the news that Trump administration and the White House have been in discussion about Cryptocurrency and specifically Ripple XRP.

Although this sounds far fetched and President Trump would likely never promote any crypto or implement using it, there is a possibility that they may support it over Bitcoin, Ethereum and other currencies. If China has the majority share of mining power for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, then the United States is going to be missing out of a massive amount of wealth in yet another area.

With xRapid just going live, we are yet to see many companies using XRP, but Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple CEO) has stated that by end of year 2019, they will have dozens of banks using xRapid and XRP for cross border payments. Not only that, but their xPring program is constantly getting new use cases for XRP and Codius is quickly picking up traction as well.

It would be crazy to see Trump and US govt adopt Ripple and XRP, but there has been many predictions of XRP becoming a world currency and premier digital asset. With China having the majority share of other top 2 cryptos, Ripple and XRP are a very valid candidate.

Imagine what would happen if Trump announced support of XRP in a tweet! Maybe that $589 end of year price prediction by Bearableguy123 are possible after all?
