As one true OG Litecoin enthusiast, I wanted to test the site, or better, the NFT marketplace Liteverse.io since its launch in 2022. At first, I claimed Litecoin Summit collectors NFT. But, for several reasons, the test of minting my first NFT got a bit delayed. But now I finally have the time and the need to make use of it for a larger cause. I am sad I procrastinated a little. As it would have been a great honor to be the first one to give it a try, but given my lack of technical skills to use just code to mint outside of a marketplace, waiting was a great idea since the site is super user-friendly and it's quality has improved considerably. I would say Liteverse.io is ready for the mainstream. Minting on it or acquiring an NFT on the Litecoin network is now a Piece of cake! In this article I will describe my experience, the reason why my first series of NFTs was created, and most importantly the advantages and disadvantages of creating an nft (Non-fungible To...
Crypto is 24/7 and soon stocks shall be too. There is light in the end of the tunnel #bitcoin
For a Wall Street day trader arriving in the cryptocurrency markets, it is a surprise and often a tiring idea that crypto markets are open 24/7. In the world of crypto assets there is no market opening or closing, holidays, weekends nor circuit breakers. It is all digital and going on live 24/7.
Until recently, crypto trading and investing were looked upon as too risky, volatile, and often tiring. But since, few recent events have caused havoc in the stock exchanges, retail investors are moving their funds elsewhere, and cryptocurrency exchanges are looking into capturing that market share.
Cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are starting to be seen as more transparent than trading apps such as Robinhood, and decentralized exchanges are leaning towards being seen as the fairest of them all.
Which recent event accelerated this trend?
In addition to the recent volatility in the commodity markets recently experienced in 2020 caused mainly by the initial scare of the pandemic. Yesterday many of us were left speechless with the Ronbihood Gamestop Episode. No better way to explain than Anthony Pompliano in his latest CNBC interview check it out:
Which Crypto exchanges are offering stocks?
Centralized and decentralized exchanges are now looking to integrate stocks into their offerings, as fast as possible. With some of them already making 24/7 stock trading available as of now.
Yesterday the American centralized crypto exchange announced on a Press Release that " -Bittrex Global (Bermuda) Ltd. announced that it has listed tokenized stocks for GameStop and AMC Entertainment as well as Nokia, BlackBerry, and iShares Silver Trust. Bittrex Global will continue to list additional stocks as other firms announce a delisting from their platforms."
According to Bittrex "this decision is motivated to ensure retail investors have exposure to stocks they may wish to trade anytime during any day of the week. Bittrex Global aims to harness the power of distributed ledger technology to enable greater financial inclusion, instant settlement of trades, and lower trading fees."
And Bittrex is not the only one, Coinbase has already announced its plans to add stock commodities to its platform and Decentralized derivates exchanges such a Synthetics and others have been working to make Stock Trading completely decentralized and accessible to all.
Why?
Investing in stocks is still considered a luxury and remains inaccessible for billions of people worldwide. The main reason for that is the limits imposed by existing platforms who act as gatekeepers, suffer from technical challenges and other limitations such as operational time.
In addition as technology evolved enabling decentralized finance in such a simplistic form, many are left wondering what is the purpose for the intermediaries anyways? Banks, stock brokerage firms even hedge funds could all become obsolete when people realize they can be their own banks.
Conclusion:
In my opinion it is just a matter of time until we all flock into the new decentralized system. Happy I already took my leap. Hope to see YOU on the other side.
Hi there, I hope you are ready for another Crypto News Weekly! As you probably know, the highlight of the week, has been the much anticipated Ethereum Merge. Finally, the Ethereum upgrade has finalized successfully, and the market can lose some of the anxiety revolving around it. Oddly despite a successful delivery from developers and the community, the price of ethereum has taken a big dip. My guess is: Partly due to the fact that this upgrade does not fix its most important issue regarding usability, which is the high cost of transaction fees. There are other relevant headlines for the week, so be sure to press play on the slide, feel the title, and if you get extra curious; there is always a direct link to each article below, ready for you to click and read it in my detail.

Merry Christmas! This year we decided to send our Christmas cards to our loved ones in a very meaningful way. And to innovate we as a family choose to do send it in NFT format. Two reasons: Mainly because my 5 year old got some artist skills, let me tell you! The adorable deer she created simply amazed us. Also because I wanted all the love embedded within each card to last forever, in an immutable blockchain. These cards will be easy to access by the receivers in many years to come and generations will be able to enjoy this amazing piece of Christmas Art created by our little Lara, in her first school year, for many lifetimes. Imagine her grandchildren being able to enjoy and have a blockchain emitted copy of her beautiful mindset at the time. Since it is possible I am giving it a chance. why not right? If you are receiving one just know that you are special to us. It may take you a little of bit of time figuring out how to claim it (Especially if this is your first experie...
