One of the exciting things about the blockchain is it allows for the same services that only large institutions can benefit from across the board.
What is even more exciting is you can actually think about communities. We can have small communities develop their own ecosystem, have their own control over it and gain the benefit from having a locally dedicated community that is designed to invest and get the local economy to flourish.
This is where Colu comes in, connecting the digital and the physical using blockchain technology.
We started with developing colored coins back in 2012 and we realized that we can actually solve real world problems using blockchain technology.
We decided to focus on one mission, to change how money is being created and used.
To do that we've built a digital wallet based on local currencies. We have four communities and more than 50,000 transactions on a monthly basis. We are now ready to bring cryptocurrencies to the every day conversation.
Our vision is an economy that is powered by the people and brings wealth and prosperity to local communities.
I think [inaudible] will get us closer to that vision. Tokens can be purchased or earned. When you pay with Colu, you earn tokens based on your individual local spend.
A community native currency allows us to share the success of this network with other participants.
Cities spend so much time and money trying to promote their local economy and grow the local economy. But if you've got a tool to help do it that doesn't cost taxpayers anything, that's pretty great.
It's a way to promote the local economy and build a sense of community and cut down on fraud and corruption.
I really do think that Colu is in the early stages of something really transformational.
We [inaudible] financial institutions to create a mechanism that would help neighbors to each other with their mortgages and we couldn't do it.
Blockchain is going to allow this to happen. We can re-envision what the financial system would look like.
Building new types of credit, credit institutions, credit unions, local institutions and fund local initiatives and encourage local consumption and ultimately better, more prosperous communities.
This is more than an idea. It's actually happening. People are purchasing with Colu every day.
This is what the future is going to look like. People having more control over their money. You can influence what happens in your city and your community.
Join our movement and help us build communities from the wallet up.

Today's digital currencies don't scale and suffer from disruptive hard forks. Hard forks can result in lose of investor funds. They also damage investor confidence and can lead to attacks.
Decred was built to solve these problems. A hybrid proof of work, proof of stake system ensures that no group can master the flow of transactions or make changes without input from the community.
Decred is the only decentralized self ruling currency where everyone has a real voice.
Decred gives participants the tools necessary to make decisions about the technical direction of the currency. All participants have a say in its future direction, budget and which projects are developed and presented for vote.
We believe that striking a balance between infrastructure owners and currency holders is the only way to build a robust currency now and for the long term.
Decred has shown resilience where others have failed. Thanks to our modular platform, that allows us to integrate new features without disrupting the service.
Decred's transparency and scalability has not gone unnoticed. We won accolades from fellow developers, industry experts and the media.
Launched in February of '16, we are completely independent, community funded, community owned.
Decred is engineers, artists, entrepreneurs.
Decred is a global community that believes in financial independence and community based governance.
We are the currency of choice for anyone who wants to take charge of their financial lives.
We are the digital currency of the people.

Evolution is behind all great achievements. It has allowed us to go from ideas, to space.
It has empowered us to turn our dreams into reality.
Today distributed ledger technology is the most sophisticated phenomenon in the evolution in the digital world. It is the future.
Energi is the first cryptocurrency that brings together some of the most powerful ideas in cryptocurrency.
Division beyond just the technical infrastructure.
We are talking about something that is expansionary at its core and this goes beyond common features such as improving on transaction speed, mass scalability, low fees.
Energi has all of these but the truly game changing proposition here is Energi's decentralized governance and treasury system. And that's a system that not only makes Energi self sustaining but is also a self re-enforcing phenomenon.
That's the evolution of cryptocurrency.
Essentially it's a healthy growth snowball effect. As awareness increases, so does its treasury economic power and so does adoption fueled by it.
An organization to be self funding, to be able to propel itself and pay its developers, pay its team and to do so in an accelerating way where every dollar you invest in the organization yields to a dollar of greater growth.
It's a positive feedback loop.
The development, the marketing, the operations, the expansion... A self funded treasury that is well directed is an incredibly powerful machine.
You are creating no longer just a cryptocurrency but a living, breathing organization. Something that can be as powerful as world governance.

In theory banks are a good idea. Bob needs some extra money and he goes to his bank and the bank gives Bob the money and over time Bob pays it back plus some interest. Everyone wins, right?
Well not if you are Bob.
Banks understand how dependent people are on them, this makes them powerful and ensures they are the ones that make the rules. Rules that are in their best interest, not people like Bob.
Need a credit card? A small business loan? Glad to help. Just sign here, here and here.
Want to show your crypto as part of your assets? Forget it Bob. Banks treat crypto like monopoly money. Why does it have to be like this?
It's time for a change. Some smart person once said, the world needs banking but it doesn't need banks. Banks generate obscene profits from taking your deposits and giving them out to borrowers.
Celsius is different. We take crypto deposits and use them to lend dollars back to our community so that you our members can keep the profits, earn more interest and pay less for loans.
While banks focus on their own profits, our model is built on the community's best interest so that people like you, me and Bob can enjoy the financial freedom we all deserve.
With Celsius you can earn up to 5% interest on coins stored in your Celsius wallet. Think of it as your crypto savings account and when you need that dollar loan to let's say pay off your credit card or for a new business loan, you can use your crypto as collateral with a much lower interest rate.
Because it's an asset backed loan and you aren't selling your crypto, you won't have to pay tax right away. Meanwhile your coins are stored safely with our custodian and once your loan is paid off, your coins are returned.
Genius right?
Finally the 99% has a chance to turn the tables. We now have a way to bank that works for us, not against us.
Here is the cool part. If we bring 100,000,000 people into crypto, we the people will be the ones in charge. Not the big banks.

The ethereum name service announced via Twitter Monday January 14th that it has launched a fully redesigned ENS manager.
The ENS manager interface is built with non technical users in mind, allowing for individuals to search for names, manage addresses and create sub domains for names.
One community member noticed a possible issue with the apps address look up functionality. But ENS developer Jeff Lowe quickly addressed it. He even indicated that there are plans to later incorporate registration functionality into the manager.

In the medical field the most up to date information saves lives every single day. But right now the best advice in medicine is locked up behind expensive paywalls. And not everyone can afford to pay for it.
The PeerAtlast blockchain exists for one purpose, to create and maintain a world class, peer reviewed, ad free medical library on your mobile compatible platform at no charge to the user.
We will eliminate the paywall that separates timely peer reviewed medical advice from physicians and the public.
Quality advice adds great value to care givers. Large publishing companies figured this out and have cornered the market.
Now they can set the prices, charge high subscription fees to create the best information. PeerAtlas's blockchain was created by American doctors. We believe that blockchain technology can replace paywall technology to spread the world's best medical advice across the internet.
These paywalls directly increase the already high cost of medical care. That's why we are out to change the status quo.
PeerAtlas' solution is an online subscription-free, ad-free platform.
It offers evidence based support for clinical decisions, primarily through the use of medical articles and algorithms.
Healthcare providers around the globe can use our information to help them make the best decisions using the most recent discoveries researched by the brightest minds in medicine for their patients.
Medical algorithms are submitted both independently and collaboratively by qualified and verified individuals. They are then peer reviewed by teams of world renowned physicians, authors and editors.
It's a rigorous process designed to create evidence based recommendations using the most current medical information.
We will earn the trust of patients and their physicians along the way.
Our blockchain ledger will support the construction and maintenance of a complete and cutting edge library of medicine on our current online platform.
We aim to recruit the best physicians that our money can buy in every specialty.
Our library is intended to aid a wide community of medical professionals including specialists, general practitioners, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners and registered nurses.
And all of this information will be served to the general public without cost or advertisements.
PeerAtlas will sign contracts with physicians to create its library at first while continually improving its user interface with blockchain bounties for developers.
Later a voluntary donation system using the PeerAtlas blockchain will benefit new content creators directly and motivate them to keep top quality advice flowing to patients.
Many ethical compromises present in some of today's finest medical resources are absent by design in PeerAtlas.
These conflict of interests include reliance on advertising revenue. Reliance on subscription revenue. Financial relationships with drug companies or the manufacturers of medical devices. And founders compromised by fiscal or ideological dependence.
PeerAtlas has taken steps to harness its powerful blockchain technology to reward qualified individuals that can help its mission in a transparent and ethical manner.
The mission of PeerAtlas is to instantly spread the most modern techniques and knowledge in healthcare, free of charge, worldwide.
We are looking for people who share our vision. People who want to change which patients are treated with the best available medical knowledge and techniques.
We are looking for people who want to save lives.

Zcoin is a digital cryptocurrency that puts financial privacy at the forefront where your transactions are completely untraceable.
It is built on the solid fundamentals of the Zerocoin paper, one of the most cited cryptography papers' today.
Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are not really anonymous as all transactions since the founding of the coin are permanently open for the public to view.
Researchers, governments and law enforcement agencies have made significant strides in using meta data and pattern analysis to reveal the real world identities of bitcoin holders.
This is a serious privacy problem.
Imagine having all of your transaction history and spending habits revealed or worse, innocently editing up with coins that have been tainted from illegal activities.
Not only is your privacy at risk, your coins could be seized or you could even be implicated in crime you didn't commit.
Other attempts to anonymize transactions involving mixing transactions with other people's transactions but this still means that the real transaction is somewhere in there. And its privacy is reliant on how many transactions you are mixing with.
These models still provide an analyzable network map of links.
Zcoin uses zero knowledge proofs to make truly untraceable coins.
You mint a coin by burning it up and generate a mathematical proof that you burn it.
This proof allows you to redeem a new coin with new previous transaction history. A clean slate.
The genius lays in that the proof doesn't reveal which coin you minted, thus there is no relationship that can be drawn from the coin that you minted and the brand new coni that you redeemed.
No history to analyze. No mixing required. Just truly untraceable coins.
Reclaim your digital financial privacy.
Zcoin. Mint. Spend. Repeat.

The browsers of today are broken. They have been overtaken by a barrage of sneaking and annoying ads. Trackers that follow your habits and cookies that build profiles and all other sorts of internet clutter that is taking precidence over the content that you want to see.
In fact these useless bytes can take up to a whopping 50% of page load times with a third of it anxiously trying to learn more about you.
To make matters worse, some ad blockers are even letting ads through when large advertisers pay them.
But do you really want a leaky ad blocker?
It's because of these very reasons that we developed Brave. A new browser that kicks internet crud to the curb and makes it faster, safer and better to surf the web than your current browser.
With Brave, everything you need is built right in.
We integrated technology that automatically blocks trackers, annoying ads and shields everything that can cramp your style and disrupt your privacy.
With it you can expect increased speeds almost 2x faster on laptops and up to 4x faster on mobile. And unlike any other browser, Brave allows you to support your favorite publishers with automatic micro payments.
It's a win win for you and your favorite sites.
To top it all off, Brave is open source because we truly believe it's our web and we need to fix it together.
Ask yourself this question, do you want a web browser made for the internet of today?
If so, try Brave. It's faster. Safer and ad free. [silence]

In social media applications, Steem rewards users with Steem dollars and voting power for posting and curating quality content from all over the internet.
One application for this is Steemit.com.
50% of Steem's content rewards are paid as Steem Power which gives the winners more power to curate content and get Steem rewards. And the other 50% of all Steem's content rewards are paid in Steem dollars which drives their use.
In payments and remittance, the Steem dollar is a cryptocurrency that is always worth about $1 worth of Steem.
With this, anyone can reward, pay and remit to others without the monetary and cognitive costs of price swings.
The stability of the Steem dollar represents an opportunity to serve the 2 billion unbanked people on our planet.
For other types of people, Steem represents opportunities for our creators, curators, remitters, merchants, market makers, shoppers, entrepreneurs, bloggers, commenters, internet readers, community leaders, referrers and sign-up party hosts.

We've always lived in a smart world. Our societies, our art, our ecosystems, our universe itself all made of vast complex networks designed for interconnection, growth and innovation.
Then this happened.
That really started speeding things up.
The internet, originally conceived as a decentralized smart network with no central authority, made it possible to communicate directly all over the world. But it wasn't built to evolve as it did. And while our smart world advanced, the internet stayed in the past.
As it expanded, its vulnerabilities become more serious, more prevalent.
Data. The life blood of the internet became centralized. Stored on servers owned by giant corporations, easily found vulnerable to attack. Making our devices easily hacked no matter how smart they became.
We didn't lose the internet. We lost our internet.
Elastos is the modern internet.
Elastos has rebuilt the infrastructure of the internet from the ground up, creating the world's first open source network operating system.
This is an operating system for the internet itself that is completely decentralized and it can be installed directly onto anything and everything smart.
Every person, every device, every business, every thing can be directly interconnected into one massive global super computer. Each given their own secure identity that must be verified by the blockchain before accessing the network.
Enabling an internet of security instead of vulnerability.
An internet where central servers no longer exist. An internet where everyone owns and controls their own data.
Simultaneously creating the world's first platform for the secure internet and data economy powered by the applications of the future and the people who build them.
Because the platform is designed to run literally on any smart device, developers can seamlessly write, install or integrate existing applications onto Elastos using their own secure side chain allowing people and machines alike to have direct exchange of the next global currency.

DAV distributes system on steroids.
It's laying the protocol, the foundation for the transportation industry.
It's a combination of the technologies I care deeply about.
Drones are one element. Blockchain is another element. And distributed and trusted ecosystem in a trustless environment.
DAV is an open transportation protocol. It enables us for the first time to create an open source peer to peer global transportation network.
This network includes anything and anyone involved in moving people and objects from place to place.
Everyone on the DAV Network can discover services within the network. For example riders can discover drivers and drivers can discover charging stations. And developers can use the open protocol to introduce their unique value to the network in the form of route planning, machine learning, data sharing.
The opportunities this network can create are endless.
Looking a bit further down the road, the Dav Network is an ideal entry point for the vehicles of the next decade which are autonomous vehicles on the ground, in the air and on the water.
The future is definitely autonomous.
If you had to summarize the future of transportation in one word, it's going to be autonomous.
Being able to do true autonomous operations is what's becoming the big push these days.
I can predict that the autonomous world will expand.
Once autonomous vehicles enter the market, you are no longer hiring the driver inside the car. You are hiring the car. And this brings up a lot of interesting challenges.
For example, how do you get a quote and agree on a transaction with a car or with a drone?
How the vehicles compete for your business?
This is a completely new market and this is where the DAV protocol comes in.
It connects vehicles and users and services, creating one big network so that we can each have an entire network of on demand vehicles at our disposal.
It also enables anyone to purchase equipment that is compatible with the protocol and make it available on the network in return for tokens.
For anyone that joins the network, whether they are taxi companies, delivery companies or simply someone who owns a drone, having a unified open protocol means they don't need to be a multi national corporation to have utility.
The DAV protocol connects them to a global network of riders and drivers and vehicles and developers and chargers.
The number of useful combinations within the network is exponential.
The advantages of a decentralized network like that is that it allows true market competition and doesn't leave all the benefit and all the upside to one central entity.
I firmly believe not a single entity has all the elements to win. Nobody can eat alone. You have to share the pie.
Companies now have a choice. Instead of creating an entire network, an entire ecosystem from scratch, they can focus on their core product and use the DAV protocol to become a part of an existing network using completely open standards and without paying any fees.
The whole idea of the internet was to break the middleman. And DAV is to the future of transportation of what TCPIP was to the internet.
The most exciting thing that I see is the ability for DAV to be the key enabler of internet transport.
The DAV network is expanding as more and more companies join. The DAV platform is already being integrated into some of their vehicles.
I believe no single technology is going to succeed on its own. It's always going to be some mix of technologies.
Got to have a way [inaudible] transportation systems whatever they may be. So it's a combination of getting the players who do the best join in each of those pieces to come in and work together.
I invite everyone to join our growing community and take part in the future of transportation.

What is NEO? In this video I will be going over the basics of this cryptocurrency.
NEO was developed by a blockchain R&D company called onchain. Launched in 2014 as Antshares, it was rebranded as NEO in 2017.
NEO focuses on innovating in the areas of digital asset transfer, smart contracts and digital identity verification.
The NEO platform consists of two currencies, NEO and GAS both of which are capped at 100 million units.
NEO is the pre mined currency which represents a share of the network. It cannot be divided below one coin like most other currencies.
GAS is the fuel that drives smart contracts on the NEO network. Deploying and running smart contracts consumes gas proportional to the computing power used.
New GAS is generated with each block. The amount generated is reduced by one token every 2 million blocks. Once the 100 million cap is reached, no new GAS will be created.
Unlike NEO, GAS may be sub divided into much smaller units.
Collected GAS is distributed to holders of NEO coin based on their share of the network on a fixed schedule.
GAS for transaction fees are distributed to bookkeepers also known as consensus nodes in exchange for validating transactions on the network.
Every NEO coin holder has a vote. Coin holders elect consensus nodes who validate transactions, create blocks and make decisions for the blockchain such as creating transaction fees.
If a consensus node is not acting in the interest of the network, coin holders can vote out that node.
Much like ethereum, NEO supports smart contracts. Smart contracts allow code to run on the network which imposes logic and rules on the transfer of funds.
Simple examples of smart contracts include locking funds until a package is delivered. Or releasing cryptocurrency royalties to a content owner each time a digital item is consumed.
One of the differences between NEO and ethereum is ethereum applications are coded in a proprietary language called Solidity whereas NEO applications support commonly used langues such as java, C# and VB.Net.
Notable items in the NEO pipeline are NEO X which will allow transactions across blockchains. NeoFS which will allow for decentralized storage of files and NeoQ which will allow for a quantum resistant cryptographic methods within the NEO system.
