Multi-chain integration is to blockchain what the assembly line was to Henry Ford. One-off customization is fine for Bugatti; but for the rest of us, practicality and price matter. Ford’s genius was to use the practicality of the assembly line to bring automobiles within the price range of the ordinary person. A hundred and thirteen years after formation, Ford is still one of the world’s largest family-owned businesses.

As blockchain evolves, we can see the same philosophy that Ford brought to cars echoed in the projects creating exceptional value in the market today.

Blockchain technology is ushering in a new wave of technological change that will replace the way we do things: how we manage our money; how we track goods in transit; how we record asset ownership.

The second Litecoin halving will take place on August 6th, and the next Bitcoin halving is in less than a year. We have already performed analysis on the historic price behavior during halvings: but how do miners factor into the market price?

In the last few months, FinCEN has started to issue some more definitive guidance in how it intends to treat businesses operating in the cryptocurrency trading and exchange space. Previously, we looked at how the regulations are affecting crypto ATMs. Here, we take a deeper look into how FinCEN intends to treat peer-to-peer (P2P) exchangers.

Dear Non-Crypto Friend,

You may have heard of Bitcoin – you may even have considered using it as a means of payment, or investing some money in it with the hope that it might rise in value, like a stock. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency – a digital asset that exists on an immutable ledger, open to all and completely transparent.

And perhaps you decided to pass on Bitcoin for now, until the technology was more mature, or easier to access, or for a dozen other valid reasons.

Scalability is a perennial problem for blockchains, sometimes it has also proved to be a controversial one. Disagreements on how best to turn Bitcoin (BTC) into a workable payments solution have splintered the community, not once but twice.

A bear market casts a long shadow. Crypto’s total value may have doubled since December, but it turns out that some companies in the space are still reeling from the downturn.

One such company is blockchain-agnostic solutions provider, Dispatch Labs, which Crypto Briefing has learned has been running very low on operational capital for months. The company has now been forced to attempt an additional raise so it can bring a working product to market.

Is fiat doomed? There are plenty in the crypto community who think so. One of the reasons crypto came to be was dissatisfaction with the current monetary system, in which the state is the sole creator of money and the fractional reserve system imposes systemic risks on most economies.
