Pineapple Fund Bids Farewell After Donating $55M Worth of Bitcoin to 60 Charities

Although it seems as if most people only got acquainted with the Pineapple Fund yesterday, the venture is shutting down once and for all.

Although it seems as if most people only got acquainted with the Pineapple Fund yesterday, the venture is shutting down once and for all. This “experiment in philanthropy” has seen many great successes, but the time has come to move on. It will be interesting to see which venture takes its place. Donating $55 million worth of Bitcoin to charities around the world is nothing to sneeze at.

The Success of the Pineapple Fund

For those unfamiliar with the Pineapple Fund, it was a project meant to bring Bitcoin to charities all over the world. The person responsible for creating this venture donated the majority of his or her own cryptocurrency holdings to various charities and good causes. Anyone in need of funding could apply through the project’s website and have their organization vetted. It was a simple business model which seemingly worked out quite well.

Since its launch, the Pineapple Fund has successfully contributed to charities big and small. Any legitimate cause that the owner believed in – or that at least had a chance of succeeding – received a contribution in the form of Bitcoin. By taking this route, the world’s leading cryptocurrency received positive attention. It also highlighted the benefits of dealing in cryptocurrency rather than traditional payment methods.

With $55 million in Bitcoin donations to date, it is safe to say the Pineapple Fund has been a success. During last year’s massive price bubble, the owner converted a total of 5,104 BTC to $55 million, which was then distributed among the eligible charities. Even though no one knows who is behind this charitable venture, the success of this project cannot be denied. Unfortunately, it will not be continued.

One has to acknowledge the Pineapple Fund has always been a rather unique philanthropic effort. Most people who contribute to charities want to be in the spotlight. The individual known only as “Pine” has no such desire, which makes him or her a very unusual individual among both philanthropists and Bitcoin enthusiasts. People generally like to highlight their wealth, but Pine has always maintained a completely different mindset.

It remains unclear why the Pineapple Fund will cease to exist. Ending on a high note is always a smart idea. Additionally, Pine made it a goal to donate $55 million worth of Bitcoin to charity, and that goal has been reached. Whether it was done well ahead of schedule, or perhaps took longer than Pine expected, will remain a bit of a mystery. Either way, the end result is still the same, which is all that matters in the end.

With 60 different charities having been supported, the Pineapple Fund achieved the goal it set out to accomplish. Among the supported charities were Charity: Water, OpenBSD, Quill, The Reagent Project, WildMe, and many others. In all, the Pineapple Fund received over 10,000 applications for funding, which further shows how much interest this venture generated. It was a remarkable feat, and a valuable addition to the history of Bitcoin.

Crypto - Civil Law Versus Common Law

The Satoshi Revolution: A Revolution of Rising Expectations
Section 3: Decentralization
Chapter 8, Part 1.
Crypto: Civil Law Versus Common Law

2018 is the year in which cryptocurrency will be regulated. The questions are by whom and how? The two traditional answers have been civil law or common law. But there is a third alternative. Namely, preventive self-regulation, which can also be called simple decency. This is not a matter of law enforcement but of personal responsibility for your own behavior. It means being the adult in a room of children who are acting out.

Regulation is coming because crypto is being defined as much by its abuses as by the benefits it provides. The problems are real. And that’s a problem because it provides a plausible doorway through which government can walk. The “abuses” to which I refer do not include drug deals or the private stashing of personal cash. Those are not the abuses of crypto; they are benefits. Cryptocurrency allows people to control their own bodies and wealth in a peaceful manner that harms no one else. That is its power and true beauty.

The abuses are the rampant number of scams and hustlers who prey on average people; predators are robbing honest folk who are simply trying to avoid a corrupt financial system in order to leave an inheritance for their children and keep food on the table. The predators convert a vehicle of freedom into a path for theft.

Part of the problem is that too many honest people are standing by, watching it happen. The Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke is credited with saying, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” I’ve never liked that quote; it places responsibility for the triumph of evil on the shoulders of good people who are simply minding their own business. That’s wrong. But there is a point at which focusing on the business of personal life becomes dangerous because there are politicians and other criminals who circle and await the chance to attack those who are not paying attention. Pay attention now.

Crypto will be shoved up against a brick wall of regulation in 2018, and it will occur with the applause of the public. They will applaud for good and bad reasons. One bad reason is that crypto is still an arcane mystery to most people, and they mistrust it. They say “it is vaporware that is based on nothing” as though the pieces of paper they spend every day are somehow different. One good reason for the urge to regulate crypto is that so many people have been fooled and burned by incompetent or unethical parts of the community.

Cynical commentators can yell “caveat emptor!”—let the buyer beware!—all they want. That’s a way of blaming the victims, who certainly bear some responsibility. The words “due diligence” come to mind.  But there is something badly wrong with a system in which honest people are being robbed and scammed on a regular basis. It is wrong when government does it to people, and it is wrong when a financial network does it. Cryptocurrency was designed to empower people, not to impoverish them.

The current abuses mean that the application of law to crypto is inevitable. The pivotal question is whether cryptocurrency will be regulated under civil law or common law. Or a third alternative. The choice is between government control or the private policing of behavior. Which will it be? Government or self-regulation? Of course, government will impose itself to the extent possible. But private actions are giving it the justification to do so.

The ideal solution is common law but the ideal rarely has a clean victory. The reality will probably be a mixture of both.

Civil Law Versus Common Law

Civil law is political law. This is civil law:

“We feel very strongly that we need to have this kind of regulation [on the trading of cryptocurrency] all over the world…The EU, I understand, is moving very quickly in that direction and we think it’s very important that similar regulations are happening in a number of other countries.”

Sigal Mandelker, the U.S. Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence

Civil law is what most people wake up to every morning. It is distinct from criminal law in that it addresses contracts, business arrangements, inheritance, and the other legal matters that average people confront on a daily basis. Civil law is passed by legislatures, and it is codified into established rules that dictate people’s lives. Much of it is valid. It answers real questions–like how do I resolve a property dispute with my neighbor or divide up property in a divorce? But it also expresses the interests of third parties, especially government, in matters that enrich them at the expense of average people. The more law becomes “statute,” the less it reflects the daily needs of people.

Common law offers an alternative legal blueprint. Rooted deeply in the English tradition, it is a body of law that develops from the grassroots upward. It involves  no presence of Parliament. It comes from the decentralized judicial decisions that arise from real legal disputes. Someone did not pay for a chicken he “purchased”; the seller asks a court…how do I receive fair payment? A business deal dissolves; how can the investors fairly split up the remaining assets? These are real-people problems. The answers offered by judges may be right or wrong, but they do not benefit the privileged. This is common law, and it is so named because it benefits the common person.

Happily, average people usually want to live in peace, pure and simple. That makes common law a relatively straightforward thing. Almost every common law and its associated judicial proceedings advance the non-initiation of force, for example. They all embrace standards of evidence, such as published transcripts,  that make people accept the system as just.

Common law is far preferable to civil law. But common law is imperfect. It can substitute the arbitrary opinions of judges for the self-interested opinions of politicians. The best solution for cryptocurrencies is no law at all. It is self-regulation. Don’t allow foreseeable problems of fraud or theft to arise in the first place. As with every healthy community, the standards of conduct are set by normal people who are trying to function and feed their children. The crypto community is no different.

Yes, cryptocurrency needs to be regulated. But it should be private regulation that responds to a fast-moving world of real people, not the needs of bureaucrats. That’s common law. Ideally, it is the private policy of the decent human beings who have always dominated crypto but who need to stand up and shout “ENOUGH!” at those who are treating freedom as a free pass to crime.

TheMerkle Huawei Bitcoin Wallet

Buying Bitcoin still remains a bit of a difficult task. This is especially true in countries where buying Bitcoin is not deemed appropriate by the government. In China, for example, this practice is heavily frowned upon. Huawei, the smartphone manufacturer, may have come up with a solution in this regard.

Huawei has a Rather bold Plan

One has to commend companies such as Huawei for trying to let consumers buy Bitcoin with relative ease despite the opposition by China’s government. At the same time, one also has to wonder if this is a smart idea, as making this process easier could land the technology company in the proverbial dog house. Only time will tell how this rather surprising decision will pan out in the coming months.

In any event, various Bitcoin wallets have been added to the Huawei AppGallery. Unlike traditional mobile app stores such as the Google Play Store and a portion of Apple’s store, the AppGallery is freely accessible throughout China. This means any application listed on this platform can be downloaded by any Chinese resident without any major problems.

Giving Huawei mobile phone users the option to download Bitcoin wallets without repercussions is a positive development for the industry as a whole. China takes its stance on Bitcoin very seriously, and it will continue to crack down on any and all related activities for as long as possible. The purchase of Bitcoin with the Chinese yuan has been barred for some time now, and it seems that won’t be changing anytime soon.

It is also the first time that a cryptocurrency-related wallet will be offered as part of the Huawei AppGallery. It also appears that the wallet in question will be preinstalled on all new Huawei and Honor phones, which will introduce a lot more people to Bitcoin. That won’t necessarily lead to more Bitcoin adoption in China, yet it sets a very interesting precedent regardless.

It will be interesting to see how the Chinese government responds to this news. After all, they were the ones responsible for blocking Android’s Google Play Store and a portion of Apple’s App Store. It is possible that AppGallery will end up in the government’s crosshairs because of this development, although no immediate action will be taken by the look of things. Owning cryptocurrency is not illegal in China, but buying it is a different matter as of right now.

With Chinese consumers flocking to mobile and digital payment solutions, introducing native Bitcoin wallet support makes a lot of sense. This news comes at an interesting time for Huawei as well. The company has made it clear they are actively exploring the concept of building a mobile phone specifically designed to run blockchain-related applications.

Grayscale’s Ethereum Classic Investment Fund Can Now Be Traded on OTCQX

Cryptocurrencies are an interesting social experiment in many ways. No other form of money has generated so much speculation, bias, and conflicting reports over the years. Despite all of the adversity, crypto is still moving full steam ahead. The listing of Grayscale’s Ethereum Classic fund on OTCQX is another reminder that this industry is here to stay.

Cryptocurrencies are an interesting social experiment in many ways. No other form of money has generated so much speculation, bias, and conflicting reports over the years. Despite all of the adversity, crypto is still moving full steam ahead. The listing of Grayscale’s Ethereum Classic fund on OTCQX is another reminder that this industry is here to stay.

ETCG Is Live on OTCQX

Although all of these acronyms are a bit confusing, it is not a difficult subject to comprehend. Grayscale Investments, led by Barry Silbert, has set up various investment funds tied to specific cryptocurrencies. The firm mainly focuses on Bitcoin, Ethereum Classic, and a few other coins. Its Bitcoin fund was publicly listed on various OTC trading platforms a while ago.

That was anything but surprising, considering that Bitcoin is the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Everyone knows what Bitcoin is and what it is capable of. Most people are also quite familiar with its volatility, which can lead to big gains and even bigger losses more often than not. Exposure to the Bitcoin price without having to buy cryptocurrency is what platforms such as OTCQX offer.

Until now, it seemed as if OTCQX had no intention of adding any other cryptocurrency-related tickers. That situation came to change earlier this week, as the ETCG symbol was added. This symbol represents Grayscale Investments’ Ethereum Classic fund, which is now the second cryptocurrency-related offering to be publicly traded on the OTC markets. It’s a big feather in the cap of Grayscale, and one that could result in an interesting future for Ethereum Classic as well.

The public quotation for ETCG was approved just last week. At that time, it became clear that ETCG would arrive on OTCQX sooner rather than later, although no official listing date was communicated when the public quotation was approved. With the new product now live on the OTC markets, investors can be exposed to Ethereum Classic’s volatility if they so desire.

As one would expect, ETCG is now listed on Yahoo Finance as well, where it is listed at a premium compared to the underlying asset’s price. Ethereum Classic hasn’t had the greatest of runs when it comes to its price, but it seems to have been holding its own around the $18 mark most of the time. It is unclear if the ETCG listing will influence the Ethereum Classic price in any way, but it is certainly possible.

To be sure, this publicly traded offering is not the same thing as buying Ethereum Classic. It is a fund in which every share represents around 0.97 ETC. For those who firmly believe the Ethereum Classic price will surge in the coming months, buying into ETCG makes a lot of sense. Given the lack of mainstream appeal associated with Ethereum Classic, however, it remains to be seen if this new offering will garner any real support or traction in the coming months.

Advanced Crypto Exchange Nauticus Launches Beta After Raising $14.6 Million

Australian-based cryptocurrency exchange Nauticus has announced the launch of its interface beta for testing, as its ongoing token sale continues to attract interest, raising more than $14.6 million so far. Meanwhile, its public launch is expected to take place within months.

The beta offers a peek into an advanced cryptocurrency exchange, with the Nauticus Exchange aiming to make the process of buying Bitcoin and over a hundred other altcoins as easy as ordering food online.

Lowering entry barriers for crypto newcomers

While the crypto industry has seen a huge influx of new users and traders, newcomers are often surprised by how complicated crypto exchanges can be. They have to familiarize themselves with “hot” or “cold” wallets and are required to use “addresses” that comprise of seemingly random strings of characters. If not careful, it can be surprisingly easy to lose all their crypto funds permanently.

Retailers and brokers, such as American-based Coinbase and Australian-based CoinSpot, therefore, have been popular destinations for people looking to buy their first coins, as the process is much simpler and user-friendly. However, consumers end up paying up to ten times higher fees for those services and pay higher prices for crypto when compared to the average exchange rate.

The demand for an exchange that offers the same easy of retail brokers yet with the same low fees and rates of the average global market remains high.

Nauticus Exchange – sophistication with efficiency

With its newly-launched beta advanced interface, experienced traders can now test its features. However, it is the user-friendly interface that has been the word on the streets, with guided steps having every aim at making the process of crypto purchases as easy as online shopping.

 

Right now, the exchange offers 100 crypto and national currencies (USD, EUR, CNY, JPY, HKD, AUD and ZAR), ensuring that all users’ crypto and fiat needs are met.

With the upcoming release of the Nauticus mobile wallet and exchange for both iOS and Android platforms, as well as a payment facility in development, users can soon look forward to easy and secure trading, storage, and spending of both conventional and crypto currencies.

Nauticus believes that the exchange business is growing and will continue to top current performances. The top ten exchanges already generate $3 million in fees daily with 100,000 new users signing up every day. Some exchanges have already halted new registrations due to the massive spike in requests.

Meanwhile, exchange coins have all increased in value, with the likes of KuCoin rising 2,738% to its all-time high and Huobi token increasing 64% in just two months.

As with others, the Nauticus coin (NTS) will offer users a 50% discount in trading fees. It is now available to purchase at around $0.10 during the remaining token sale period until May 18th, 2018.

New users will also receive 100 free NTS and a further 200 NTS for completing a Nauticus user survey.

To learn more, visit the Nauticus website or register to use the Nauticus exchange and receive 100 free NTS. Join Nauticus on Telegram or follow them for updates on Twitter and Facebook.

Stellar Price Rises by 4% While Other Markets hit a Slump

It seems most cryptocurrencies will remain in the red all day long, but there is some hope at the end of the tunnel as well. If the Stellar price is any indication, we may see some positive momentum in the coming hours and days. More specifically, the Stellar price has risen by 3.89% over the past 24 hours, even though it is the only top cryptocurrency in the green right now.

Stellar Price Notes Growth

Considering how Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the dirt right now, it is all the more impressive to see the Stellar price buck this trend successfully. More specifically, the value per XLM has risen over the past 24 hours, whereas the other currencies are suffering from medium to heavy losses. It is a bit unclear why the Stellar price is doing the exact opposite of other cryptocurrencies, but it is still an interesting trend to keep an eye on.

To put this into perspective, the Stellar price has risen by 3.89% in the past 24 hours. While that is a pretty small increase compared to what most people are used to, it is pretty impressive when considering how the Bitcoin price is down by as much as 7% right now. At the same time, Stellar’s value has not been correlated to the Bitcoin price too closely, and it seems that trend is only intensifying as more time progresses.

It is also worth noting how the Stellar price is in the green partially thanks to strong increases in the XLM/BTC ratio. With a 9.7% increase in favor of Stellar, it is evident the alternative currency is on the right track as of right now. Whether or not this trend will continue for much longer, is pretty difficult to determine. Cryptocurrencies are a very intriguing industry, but one that is also subject to a lot of volatility first and foremost.

Even though Stellar doesn’t generate the most trading volume of all cryptocurrencies on the market today, it seems the $80.96m in trades is more than sufficient to keep the Stellar price momentum going. Whether or not that will indeed be the case, remains to be seen, but so far, it seems the momentum is in favor of Stellar. If this trend keeps up, the Stellar value could rise to $0.35 in quick succession. That would certainly be an interesting trend to keep an eye on.

The way things look right now, most of the Stellar trading volume originates from South Korea’s Upbit exchange. Binance is in second place, and Poloniex completes the top three as we speak. This also means there is only one fiat currency pair in the entire top three right now, but that doesn’t appear to hinder Stellar’s price momentum at this time.

Whether or not the Stellar price is setting the tone for the rest of the cryptocurrency industry, remains to be determined. It is evident most markets would benefit from a small to medium uptrend right now, albeit it is highly unlikely something that will happen today or tomorrow. If the current trend for XLM remains in place, the Stellar price can effectively hit $0.35 in a few hours from now. At the same time, the overall market volatility will make an impact on the Stellar price sooner or later.

The age old saying, knowledge is power, has never been more emphasized than in today’s world. With every person, who has access to gadgets and the internet, generating data, the world is full information – just waiting to be called upon and used for various purposes.

The only thing still holding organizations and researchers back is the lack of access to the information and data generated online. Countless data collectors exist all over the world, from small-time collectors to Big Data corporations. With so many platforms and expensive access, many research and data analyzer organizations cannot contact the sellers, leading to a void that needs to be fulfilled.

Enter DataBlockchain

DataBlockchain is a decentralized marketplace that allows data sellers and buyers to meet in an environment that is conducive and beneficial to both. The team behind the platform realized that the current data market is complicated and fragmented. This has led to a complex number of choices with regard to not only access to data but relevant and accurate information for businesses that rely on availability of information.

DataBlockchain has been designed to tackle these issues. By providing a single decentralized platform for data and sellers, it eliminates the need for multiple markets, vendors and middlemen. This not only saves time, but gives cheaper data that meets the exact requirements of buyers. Vice Versa, sellers do not have to sit on different platforms, waiting for a seller to chance upon them. With the middleman gone, the sellers also can breathe easily, knowing that they will be getting the full amount of sales, without pesky platform owners taking a big cut from their sales.

Teaming Up With Media Direct

Media Direct is a world leading data collector and supplier for marketing and analysis field. The company possess a huge amount of data from various sectors of industries and sells it worldwide. With the announcement of partnering with DataBlockchain, it has agreed to share its data records pertaining to businesses, automotive industry, property, political and consumer records, a massive collection of 3,000,000,000 plus records, with the decentralized platform.

With the data available for researchers on the blockchain platform, a swift and efficient delivery, with practically zero hidden charges and fee is made possible.

Michael Richmond, CEO of Media Direct said, “I am a real believer that Blockchain represents the future of Digital Data. I have always believed when you deliver better data more efficiently everybody wins, and I am looking forward to the success of this project.”

What Does DataBlockchain Offer?

As a blockchain platform geared towards efficiency and speed, the platform has the following characteristics that traditional platforms fail to provide:

  • Monetization: Easy empowerment to sell data and capitalize on it.
  • Transparency: The blockchain approach gives data providers and sellers transparency in dealings and traceability of data.
  • Voting System: Data provided is rated by buyers, helping future buyers make a sound decision and giving credibility to sellers.
  • AI: By using advanced artificial intelligence, data on the platform can be sifted through and relevant information can be produced that is required by buyers, increasing the data quality.
  • Secure and Fast Payments: Using blockchain, transactions made on the platform are swift and secure, giving confidence that the money involved will not be lost or stolen and is received immediately.
