General Market
Outlook
The cryptocurrency market remains
green almost entirely across the board for another 24 hours, and
EOS again continues to push new heights – up over 15% in the past
24 hours. Pantera Capital cryptocurrency hedgefun CEO Dan Morehead
is back in headlines after expressing the potential of a $40
trillion dollar market cap for cryptocurrencies in an interview with
Bloomberg. True or not, the headlines will bring
attention to the blockchain space.

Headlines
Cryptocurrency Mining
Drives Samsung’s Profits Up 54%
The CEO of Samsung cited that
production of semi-conductors has pushed their Q1 yea-over-year
profits up 54%. Semi-conductors are used in just about every major
consumer electronic device. However, these are required massively
for cellphones and computer parts such as CPUs, GPUSs, graphics
cards and ASICS. Those last four are used for mining
cryptocurrencies. Samsung has stated they may begin to manufacture
ASICS – used for mining Bitcoin. Evidence on Twitter shows this is in
the works.
Smartlands Asset Platform
Available Soon
Smartlands is allowing the
public to be more involved in asset trading. The company provides a
service to tokenize real estate, manufacturing, agriculture and
private shares. More importantly, the first step of the process
manages auditing, legal due diligence and any other legal
procedures required to engage their service. Once collateralized,
these assets are “tokenized,” similar to being divided into shares.
However, the tokens can be traded as current cryptocurrencies are.
Initially, the service will be available in the UK only.
Reminder: BTC is
Bitcoin
Roger Ver is consistently in
headlines – recently, to promote Bitcoin Cash as the real Bitcoin.
He often claims others support him, but this is not likely to be
true. Founder of ShapeShift.io and early cryptocurrency adopter
Erik Voorhees spoke out against Roger Ver in a tweet. He does not support his
views, and by definition, BCASH is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the
original blockchain with the highest accumulated proof-of-work.
Nick Szabo retweeted similar sentiment that Bitcoin.com is a scam,
Roger Ver (CEO of the website) is a serial scamer, and his highly
promoted coin BCASH is fake Bitcoin. Szabo created one of the first
cryptocurrencies Bit Gold, and coined the term “Smart Contract” as
well.
