Bitcoin and cryptocurrency round-up 17 August 2018
What's happening in crypto?
Energitec (sic), Nvidia's out, Ripple's preferences, UEFA blockchain, bitcoin shorts, XRP price analysis.
1. Pretend it's a New Zealand accent.
Energi Mine has taken an energitec approach to rewards.
There's a lot of room for mutual profits in the inergy business.
2. "That was a bad idea."
"What was? Exposing our GPU chip making business to the vagaries of the cryptocurrency markets?"
3. Ripple's nice list is in. Naughty list ETA TBD
The gold standard.
Ripple has laid out its preferred providers, which would be an undeniably vaunted position.
4. 100% pure unadulterated blockchain
No paper needed. UEFA successfully tested a 100% blockchain electric ticket distribution system for a football match.
5. Eat my shorts
Bitcoin shorts have doubled since the start of August.
XRP price analysis: Playground equipment edition
"Higher, higher!" XRP gleefully screams from the swingset.
