5 KEY WAYS BLOCKCHAIN IS CHANGING THE FUTURE OF ONLINE CASINOS
Since Bitcoin started gaining popularity back in 2017, more and more mainstream gaming websites — including casinos — have been beginning to accept cryptocurrencies. More and more people are turning away from fiat casinos, and towards crypto casinos.
It’s hardly surprising that casinos are turning to blockchain technology — there are some interesting crossovers between crypto enthusiasts and gambling enthusiasts. Both industries attract people who tend to be unafraid of risk, and are willing to lose some money in an attempt to try and win more. Furthermore, both gambling and crypto enthusiasts both tend to want to see quick returns on their investments.
But it turns out that there are actually many more tangible benefits of blockchain technology being used in casinos that you might not have been aware of. Read More

Cats cause chaos on Ethereum again as Mila Kunis’ project sells out in 35 minutes
Data from Dune Analytics shows there was a total of 344.4 ETH ($793,000) in value lost to failed Stoner Cats transactions.
Tokenized cats have once again caused chaos on the Ethereum network after a nonfungible token (NFT) project from actress Mila Kunis sold out in 35 minutes.
It echoes the launch of another cat-based NFT project, CryptoKitties, which infamously gummed up the Ethereum network in 2017.
The launch of Stoner Cats was initially delayed by a day after the team found a bug in the underlying art layers. However, the second attempt was successful and sold out in just “35 meow-nutes,” according to a catastrophic pun from Stoner Cats. Read More
The Markethive Social Market Broadcasting Network becomes more prominent daily as the blockchain-driven ecosystem for entrepreneurs with a non-adversarial, bi-partisan free speech ethic and the collaborative culture we rarely see on social media platforms today. Even the newer acclaimed free speech platforms are partisan to the left or right and deal with de-platforming and boycotts from payment providers.
Unlike the social media giants, which only have one primary news feed that is algorithmically set by the central authorities, Markethive is introducing four news feeds to accommodate the multi-functional platform within the Markethive ecosystem. The individual feeds are General, Video, Blogging, and Content Curation. They are all accessible from the main page and can be algorithmically set by the individual user.
The scope that Markethive has is enormous as it integrates all the vertical systems of the other platforms under one roof.
Social + Video + Blogging + Marketing + Curation + Broadcasting = Markethive.
It’s a monumental project that can be overwhelming for the average person. It’s no wonder social media platforms are predominantly single-function and centralized. Technology has advanced with Blockchain, and Crypto is becoming ubiquitous and gives rise to the decentralized, privacy, and autonomy components of social media. Something that the established dinosaurs would find near impossible to integrate at its highest level. Read More

Choosing Who We Trust
Though cryptocurrencies offer the idea of a trustless future, the future of blockchain technology and transactions is very much tied up with the need to establish, maintain and build trust. Nearly all the major business models that are envisioned for blockchains will depend upon something managing assets and information beyond the blockchain itself, making trust part of the equation.

Blockchain tech is holding NFTs back because of these three design flaws
Three design flaws in blockchain tech are holding the NFT sector back — and they need to be tackled for it to reach its full potential.
Unfortunately, a dark cloud is hovering on the horizon — and it’s one that risks holding the NFT sector back. Right now, blockchain technology doesn’t provide anywhere near enough value propositions to motivate a user to own these crypto collectibles. If the market is going to proliferate — and attract everyday users — the industry needs to tackle three key design issues. Read More
Robinhood introduces a feature aimed at protecting investors from crypto volatility
“We’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to provide our crypto customers with the functionality that they’ve been asking for,” said Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev.
The stock and cryptocurrency trading app Robinhood is reportedly exploring a way for users to be better protected from volatile crypto prices.
According to a Tuesday Bloomberg report, the trading app is working on a feature called “price volatility protection,” which would modify certain crypto orders depending on fluctuations in price. A message in the feature’s code says Robinhood “may sometimes skip your recurring orders or buy less than your chosen amount” to protect trades from price volatility, but will inform users before taking such action and to never purchase more than the amount selected.
