title: "Bitcoin Fees Chasing Businesses Away, Dash, Litecoin Benefit"
|

In Bitcoin’s early days, one of its selling points was the ability to move money globally, with little to no fees. That is no longer the case, as the cost of moving Bitcoin can sometimes exceed the costs of PayPal and Western Union.
|
||||
|
||||
Commerce companies are struggling to use Bitcoin for its intended purpose, as a currency, even as fees erode their profit margins.
|
||||
|
||||
Exodus away from Bitcoin
|
||||
There have been instances where major retailers have moved away from Bitcoin, for their own reasons, but now there are even cases of Blockchain businesses leaving the leader cryptocurrency behind.
|
||||
|
||||
Social platform Yours Inc. has recently moved away from using Bitcoin as a payment method due to its high fees. Owner Ryan Charles explains:
|
||||
|
||||
“Bitcoin is now in a situation where the fees are very high and are likely to continue to increase, so it’s not even competitive with PayPal or Western Union in most cases.”
|
||||
|
||||
Yours Inc. is a company that is built around writers receiving small payments from readers of their posts, but because of the small amounts, Bitcoin fees were killing the idea. The company switched to Litecoin for payments.
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise, Irish gift card company Bitcart recently abandoned Bitcoin and now accepts payments exclusively in Dash. The company complained that fees and delays were damaging their business, so they chose Dash as a less expensive, instant way to receive money.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin fees have risen nearly 19-fold, from 13 cents per average transaction in the second quarter of 2016 to $2.40 in the same quarter of this year.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin is more expensive than the competitors.
|
||||
The fees for sending Bitcoin are also hurting emerging markets where the digital currency could make sense - such as in Venezuela and India. However, when consumers are only earning a couple dollars a day in these countries, it does not make sense to spend a week’s worth of wages just on fees.
|
||||
|
||||
Even in first world countries, there is a big burn that can be felt with high Bitcoin fees. It can cost as much as $15 to send $25 from the US to a bank account in the UK via Bitcoin, or three times as much as using v.
|
||||
|
||||
Using Bitcoin can also be quite the ordeal. Researchers conducted a test, trying to send $25 from the US to the UK Buying $25 in Bitcoin on Coinbase resulted in a 3.99% fee. Then $1.34 was paid to the Bitcoin network as a transaction fee. Finally, while converting Bitcoin to pounds was free on the exchange Coinfloor, $13.56 was charged to place the money in a UK bank account. That totals at $15.90 to get the payment through.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course this example involves converting to fiat, but it illustrates that there are more fees than just miner’s fees.
|
||||
|
||||
infeasible
|
||||
The difficulty and expense of using Bitcoin is making it an unpopular choice for those commerce stores who want to embrace the new technology of money. Shaun Chong, lead developer of the Bitcoin.com mining pool, stated:
|
||||
|
||||
“Bitcoin cannot be used properly for commerce when a transaction costs more than $2. If the fees were lower, the Bitcoin price would be even higher because Bitcoin would be more usable.”
|
||||
|
||||
Chong added that in it’s current state, Bitcoin is broken.

title: "Running a Masternode Is an Excellent Way to Earn Passive Income"
|
||||
original-author: JP Buntinx

|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to making money with cryptocurrency, there are many ways to do it. Diversifying into altcoins, investing in ICOs, or just daytrading in general are all valid approaches. Some coins offer a masternode system which automatically rewards users with small amounts of coins for locking up a certain amount of currency and providing valuable services to the network. Although this may sound less than appealing, it is a good way to make money, especially with new currencies.
|
||||
|
||||
RUNNING A MASTERNODE IS PROFITABLE
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up a masternode is not something one can do for just any currency these days. In fact, none of the major currencies – except for Dash – support this business model right now. That situation won’t change overnight either, as there is usually no incentive for running a network node these days. Especially in the world of Bitcoin and most popular altcoins, there is no reason to have masternodes.
|
||||
|
||||
To put this into perspective, most currencies providing masternode services focus on privacy and anonymity. Dash is perhaps the best-known currency in this regard, as it has been running a masternode incentive system for quite some time now. It does require users to lock up a lot of coins in a wallet and not spend their balances for as long as they wish to operate the node. All Dash masternodes provide InstantSend features for the entire network, which enables anonymous transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
One could argue Monero would have a use for masternodes in this regard, but that is not the case. Most of the Dash clones out there – and there are plenty of those – offer a masternode system which provides similar features to users of the particular network. Some of the more recent coins coming to mind include Vivo, Neutron, Crave, and VSync. All of these currencies entice users to run their own masternodes, which entitles them to a specified ROI over the course of twelve months.
|
||||
|
||||
In most cases, the ROI for operating a masternode is a lot lower than most people would like it to be. That is only normal, as this is not a get-rich-quick business model by any means. However, users are effectively generating passive income by constantly running a node on a device of their choosing. A VPS is the most obvious masternode solution these days, but it is equally possible to just run one on a computer or even a Raspberry Pi.
|
||||
|
||||
After running my own masternode for nearly a full month, it turns out there are two different purposes to setting up a masternode. First of all, you will earn a stream of passive income without much effort on your end. That in itself is a pretty decent reward. However, if you manage to buy into a coin which only launched recently, there is some good money to be made as the value of said coin goes up. In my case, I made a 450% profit in a month by both running the node and seeing the coin’s value appreciate.
|
||||
|
||||
Do not be mistaken in thinking only newer altcoins will explore the masternode option. Stratis, for example, will launch its own masternode system soon, although it will require around US$1 million to set up when buying the needed coins at the current price. That is a substantial amount, and it remains to be seen how many people will benefit from this opportunity. Early investors will certainly be interested in letting their coins grow in value and earning some additional money on the side.

title: "Cryptocurrency experts discuss India's 'downward spiral'"
|
||||
original-author: Ian Allison
|

|
||||
|
||||
India, once touted by experts as the world's next economic superpower spot, is facing decline and high unemployment.
|
||||
|
||||
CNN just reported India's economic growth fell from 7% to 5.6% in the last six months and, alarmingly, Head of the Center for Policy Alternatives in Delhi and former official at India's finance ministry Mohan Guruswamy was quoted as saying: "We're on a downward spiral."
|
||||
|
||||
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dash, already a preferred form of payment in many countries facing hyperinflation and political turmoil, have emerged as a viable alternative for everyday Indians. Cryptocurrencies resist the fluctuations of mainstream currencies like the Indian rupee because they are not controlled by a central bank or government.
|
||||
|
||||
Commenting on the situation in India, CoinDesk Director of Research Nolan Bauerle said: "When India demonetised 86% of their currency, the government effectively said they had faith in only 14% of the supply of Rupees. Immediately, bitcoin traded at a 22% premium against the Rupee over any other currency.
|
||||
|
||||
To be clear, the USD price for bitcoin and the USD price for the Rupee in India was relatively the same, but the Rupee's value against bitcoin plunged. The digital currency markets were quick to signal that the Rupees' loss of portability and liquidity as a result of actions by institutional authorities brought the core of its value into question. Money functions in markets and markets work to achieve price discovery, noted Bauerle.
|
||||
|
||||
"When national currencies sag in foreign exchange markets as a result of monetary policy or political uncertainty, bitcoin often behaves as a safe haven because the price is totally based on market discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
"Unlike a replacement for fiat currency, bitcoin represents something different. It lies outside a system where policies from central authorities affect market prices. Some people find bitcoin useful because of this. Its popularity may continue to grow because the price comes from market discovery and is immune from unintended consequences of authorities and their bright ideas," he said.
|
||||
|
||||
Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor added: "Measures of economic freedom are strongly correlated with economic success throughout the world. In India, a great deal of friction was introduced with the immediate banning of the vast majority of the country's circulating currency. In contrast, digital currencies are freely transferred person-to-person anywhere in the world instantly.
|
||||
|
||||
"This can have a dramatic positive impact on an economy suffering from onerous financial restrictions like India. I doubt digital currency will overtake the rupee anytime soon, but the dysfunction certainly creates the right environment to motivate consumers and businesses to seek an alternative like digital currency to address their needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Bharath Rao, CEO of decentralised exchange for cryptocurrency derivatives Leverj, said India faces unique challenges with respect to its monetary system. Counterfeiting, tax evasion, and corruption are rampant, and inflation threatens the affordability of food products and gasoline.
|
||||
|
||||
"The constant and careful intervention needed to balance these forces puts the economy in a precarious position causing undue stress on the people. The cash ban has had disappointing results and unintended consequences. The adoption of cryptocurrency is a potential solution to many of these problems.
|
||||
|
||||
"A nation such as India can either adopt a leading cryptocurrency or simply make its own. This would automatically eliminate counterfeiting. A steady inflation schedule will eliminate severe and unpredictable inflationary pressures. Tax can simply be automated on the blockchain or at the expense of higher inflation, simply be eliminated in favor of block rewards to the government.
|
||||
|
||||
"The blockchain can replace extensive paper pushing, and this alone should reduce the impact of corruption and may even uproot it entirely. Although cryptocurrency started as a way to limit government power, its embrace may ultimately limit government inefficiency."

Converting cryptocurrency to cash and vice versa remains a problematic venture. It is a complicated and cumbersome process is most cases. Liberalcoins aims to achieve this goal, as they support a few different currencies. Bitcoin, Dash, Monero, and Litecoin are all supported. It is a slightly more “advanced’ version of LocalBitcoins. Always do your own research before depositing funds on an unknown website, though.
|
||||
|
||||
Having more options to buy or sell Bitcoins and altcoins is not a bad idea. The problem is finding a convenient service to do so. A lot of people don’t want to sign up for an exchange, which is understandable. Additionally, few ATMs effectively support altcoins as of right now. A platform such as Liberalcoins may provide some relief in this regard. Do keep in mind the platform is still in beta for the time being.
|
||||
|
||||
Liberalcoins can Become a Major LocalBitcoins Competitor
|
||||
As the name somewhat suggests, it is a site similar to LocalBitcoins. Although we have seen a site for Litecoin and Monero focusing on this aspect as well, more competition can only be a good thing. It will benefit consumers all over the world. Users will trade cryptocurrencies for various payment methods in a peer-to-peer manner. There is still an account requirement, though. Every trade is subject to a 0.5% fee, which is not all that much.
|
||||
|
||||
The main object of this platform is to introduce more localized trading solutions. This should also promote the use of cryptocurrency on a global scale. On the user side, there is an option to set up 2FA, which is something everyone should enable by default. Users can choose between Google Authenticator or email 2FA. The former is a far more secure solution, though.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, it appears Liberalcoins also has a Shapeshift-like feature. That is pretty nifty, although it remains to be seen whether or not there is a demand for such a service. All things considered, this platform can prove to be a valuable addition to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. People need to focus on peer-to-peer trading rather than using centralized exchanges. Decentralized trading would be even better, but those solutions are still in development.

|
||||
Exciting news! Our next interview is here.
|
||||
|
||||
This time we interviewed Ryan Taylor, the CEO of Dash Core. Dash has one of the biggest cryptocurrency market caps and currently sits at number six according to the coinmarketcap.com.
|
||||
|
||||
What is Dash exactly?
|
||||
|
||||
Dash (DASH) is a privacy-centric digital currency with instant transactions. It is based on the Bitcoin software, but it has a two tier network that improves it. Dash allows you to remain anonymous while you make transactions, similar to cash.
|
||||
|
||||
So, let’s dig in and see what Ryan told us about the future and the plans of the Dash Core team. I will give you a quick hint – the future definitely seems bright for Dash.
|
||||
|
||||
1. What’s your story?
|
||||
|
||||
I actually came to the digital currency industry from a traditional Wall Street financial services background. I am an alumnus of Columbia Business School and a proud thought leader in the blockchain community, with a special focus on payments. My background is with McKinsey as an Associate Partner in their financial services and business technology practices, and later covered research for the payments industry in a multi-billion dollar New York based hedge fund. My move to Dash has been the most exciting and rewarding transition in my career. Dash has experienced a phenomenal rise in 2017, formed over 50 business partnerships with significant players in our space, become the number one digital currency for payments, and has risen from a total market cap of $70 million USD, to over $2 billion USD.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The easiest way to explain Dash to a friend, who doesn’t understand technology?
|
||||
|
||||
Dash began as a project called XCoin in 2014 by Evan Duffield, whose vision was to explore creative ideas aimed at solving some of the fundamental issues Bitcoin faced. The project has evolved from one aimed at exploring possible improvements to one that is transforming the digital currency landscape, and we’re now one of the most important platforms in the industry.
|
||||
|
||||
Dash is the leading e-commerce and payments-focused digital currency, and a fast-rising alternative to bitcoin. With over 1000% year over year growth in both value and trading volume since 2015, Dash has been consistently ranked in the top ten digital currencies by market capitalization and only one of the few offering safe, decentralized, financial solutions to real world problems. Dash offers a form of money that is portable, inexpensive, divisible, and fast. It can be spent easily and instantly online at merchants across the globe, at much lower fees than credit and debit cards.
|
||||
|
||||
With over 50 members on the development team, and a unique blockchain mining and treasury model, Dash is the only major self-funded, self-governed organization in the cryptocurrency industry. Dash also serves as its own incubator, paying to develop the services attached to the network. This funding is now over $25 million USD which allows for constant development and funding for the entire ecosystem so community members can upload and vote on proposals. If proposals are approved, they are paid for directly from the network. We are also looking forward to unveiling our landmark product mid next year, Evolution, which will be the the industry’s first easy to use, globally accessible payments platform, complete with savings vaults, an online banking-like interface, and a marketplace for buying integrated goods and services.
|
||||
|
||||
3. What are the biggest challenges and milestones for Dash in the next 12-months?
|
||||
|
||||
Dash is currently developing Dash Evolution, which is like a decentralized PayPal or Venmo, but incorporating many improvements. People will be able to use it seamlessly on web and mobile next year. We identified a gaping hole in decentralized payments technology, and decided to build a platform, from scratch, that will help millions of people across the globe carry out instant, secure, and near fee-free payments. It is a user-friendly decentralized system designed for mainstream consumers with no previous virtual currency knowledge. In terms of challenges, the primary one is mainstream adoption, which the entire industry faces. I am of the firm opinion though, that through our rapid growth and continuous improvements, we are headed towards a future where people use Dash on an everyday basis, all around the world.

4. What’s the biggest achievement you’ll celebrate with the Dash team 3 years from now?
|
||||
|
||||
Dash plans to introduce new hardware that will support the transaction volumes to enable the first truly scalable digital currency. We believe that if you make digital currency more accessible and easier to use for the average consumer, the technology will reach a massively larger audience.
|
||||
|
||||
By 2020, Dash’s hardware ambitions are to put masternode hardware on specially-designed chips, allowing each masternode to scale to the point where they may service Visa-like transaction volumes. This is a completely new concept for digital currencies.
|
||||
|
||||
5. What makes Dash a wise investment?
|
||||
|
||||
A big part of my own investment philosophy, and the philosophy of many of the best investors in the world like Warren Buffett and Seth Klarman, is to bet on the team. I believe that Dash has the best team in the market, with deep expertise in payments, fintech, economics, and technology. Our strategy is yielding real success, with a longer and longer track record of beating the market. Besides the growth in value since inception, we are extremely proud of the growing real-world use cases for Dash. Dash is beginning to win business from previous Bitcoin-integrated businesses, and is making real inroads as a form of payment in many countries such as those stricken by hyperinflation like Venezuela. In July 2015, the country’s inflation reached triple digits monthly causing the Venezuelan Bolivar’s exchange rate to drop to 0.1 USD. Amidst the economic turmoil and an almost worthless fiat, Venezuelan citizens turned to digital currency, using Dash to provide their families with essential needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Dash already has built a strong network of services including ATMs, merchant acceptance, top-tier exchanges, bill payment services, debit cards, compliance services, and broker services. Dash is able to build all of this because there is a dedicated system in place working to improve and develop the Dash ecosystem. We implemented the first ever decentralized governance and treasury system, whereby members of the community can propose and vote on proposals, funded directly by the blockchain.
|
||||
|
||||
6. What is the biggest myth/misconception about Dash?
|
||||
|
||||
Many people have made the assumption that the optional privacy feature on Dash, called PrivateSend, is our primary value proposition. This is incorrect. In fact, less than 1% of Dash transactions utilize this feature. Whenever people think privacy on a digital currency, they often think of illegal transactions such as those conducted on Darknet markets. Some digital currencies are actually targeting this niche; however Dash is not integrated on any of the Darknet markets and we have our sights set on the broader economy.
|
||||
|
||||
7. If you were to invest into one cryptocurrency except Dash, then what would it be?
|
||||
|
||||
I look for projects with a clear identity and strategy that are seeking to do one thing very well, whether that is smart contracts, records retention, identity management, or anything else. These are the projects most likely to succeed in the long run.
|
||||
|
||||
8. What are your cryptocurrency investment strategies? How do you pick your winners?
|
||||
|
||||
I actually don’t invest in other digital currencies. Dash keeps me very busy, and the amount of time required to perform the due diligence into an investment in this complex and fast-moving industry – and stay on top of the developments – is more time than I have. The great news is that I truly believe in the project, and think it’s the best place for my investment to be. So far, it has worked out well, as Dash has up to this point enjoyed the highest risk-adjusted return metrics in the industry.
|
||||
|
||||
9. What is it that needs to be said about cryptocurrencies?
|
||||
|
||||
I am a big believer in cryptocurrency, and it’s the fastest growing industry in the world for many good reasons. It will be every bit as revolutionary as the internet was in the 1990’s. I know those who are new to the space can find it overwhelming and possibly confusing to venture into this market, but once you’re there, the potential is endless. The main idea is to keep more of your money in your pocket, and move it whenever you want instantly, without paying exorbitant fees. I believe in financial freedom and the possibilities that come with digital currencies don’t exist in an aging banking system that resembles the same system from 50 years ago. I believe the industry will unlock a tremendous amount of value for the economy and the world.
|
||||
|
||||
Great stuff, Ryan, we appreciate your time and wish all the best for Dash! It’s obvious that you play the long game, which isn’t always the case with crypto companies. Like Gary Vaynerchuck, we also believe it’s the only winning strategy for companies to succeed.
