Are stablecoins safer than bank deposits? - stablecoins, whilst miss-named (as surely it would be better to call them ‘pegged’ coins), can offer a much lower risk for those who have large amounts of cash compared to leaving money in a bank. Stablecoins can provide greater transparency and security whereby removing the risk of depositors being exposed to bankers lending their cash to other people. The reality is that, once you give your cash to a bank, you become a creditor, and banks can use your money as they wish to generate returns for shareholders - not you. Full Article Here Censorship resistance in cryptocurrency - in crypto, “censorship resistance” means the freedom to transact, the freedom from seizure, and the inability to change a transaction. Bitcoin is widely seen as the digital asset with the most censorship resistance but, in reality, if you use a cryptocurrency to make a transaction you are leaving a fingerprint that others are able to track and trace. Unlike cash, which is often much harder to track, is this why governments are imposing limits on the amount of cash their citizens can use? Full Article Here How blockchain is impacting the healthcare market - the global health care market is huge and is set to dominate most economies even further as people live longer. Blockchain technology is being deployed in a variety of ways to reduce costs, deliver greater transparency and even enable individuals to monetise their own medical records. Full Article Here Why do we need real world assets on blockchain anyway? - blockchain is a phenomenal technology, with the potential to transform the way in which assets are traded. So far, it has been used largely by deregulated actors - often via centralised exchanges. Currently, the pre-eminent use case for tokenisation is trading real world assets, but its reputation has been dragged through the mud. Full Article Here
