Another month and is time to release another edition of the Security Token Anthology which compiles some of my recent articles about crypto-securities. Last month I added articles about diverse topics such as governance, programmability and introduced the concept of multi-asset collateralized security tokens to refer to digital securities that represent a dynamic pool of underlying assets. The current version of the anthology includes 55 articles.Happy Reading!New Articles· Taking the First Step in Security Token Governance: Extending Security Token Protocols with Voting Rights(January 2019): ▻https://hackernoon.com/taking-the-first-step-in-security-token-governance-extending-security-to Some Ideas to Unlock Programmability in Security (...)

This piece provides an overview MakerDAO including how it functions and what long-term potential it may have.SourceWhat is MakerDAO?MakerDAO, also known as Maker, is a #crypto-collateralized stablecoin that uses a two-token system comprised of Dai, which targets a value of $1 per unit, and Maker (MKR), which is used to pay fees on Dai loans and grants governance input via voting on Maker’s policies, like the collateral ratio required on loans and the amount of fees charged on loans. Maker has a fixed maximum supply and when it is used to repay Dai loan fees it is burned, thereby reducing the circulating supply. To keep the price of a unit of Dai at $1, Maker employs incentive mechanisms that will be detailed later in this piece. For greater context on stablecoins as a category and the (...)

Crypto taxes are notoriously difficult to get done. This is because the data that makes up your crypto buys, sells, trades, transfers, mining income, forks, splits, air drops, wallet transactions, and other crypto activity is likely scattered across many different platforms and mediums. Crypto tax software is built to make this process significantly easier; however, it’s important to have a knowledge of what needs to be inputted into the tax software so that your numbers come out accurate.This checklist runs through everything that you need in order to easily complete your crypto taxes.1.

Des millions en cryptomonnaies inaccessibles après la mort d’un p.-d.g. AFP à Ottawa - 5 Février 2019 - Le Devoir _
▻https://www.ledevoir.com/economie/547153/des-millions-en-cryptomonnaies-inaccessibles-apres-la-mort-d-un-p-d-g

Un site canadien d’échange de cryptomonnaies a saisi la justice pour dénouer un imbroglio juridique après la mort de son jeune p.-d.g., seul à connaître le mot de passe permettant d’accéder aux centaines de millions de dollars appartenant à ses clients.

La Cour suprême de Nouvelle-Écosse devait se pencher mardi sur la requête de la société Quadriga CX, basée à Vancouver, qui demande à être placée sous le régime des faillites. Une déclaration sous serment a été déposée par la veuve de l’ancien président, Jennifer Robertson, au nom de la plateforme numérique.

Selon ce document cité mardi par plusieurs médias canadiens, Mme Robertson affirme que l’ex-patron de Quadriga, Gerald Cotten, était le seul à connaître les codes permettant d’accéder notamment à l’équivalent de 180 millions de dollars canadiens (120 millions d’euros) en cryptomonnaies appartenant à 115 000 clients.

La société a annoncé mi-janvier que Cotten, âgé de 30 ans, était mort des suites de complications de la maladie de Crohn lors d’un voyage humanitaire en Inde le 9 décembre.

Dans sa déclaration transmise à la justice, sa veuve explique que son mari avait emporté dans la tombe les codes d’accès à son ordinateur portable crypté avec lequel il gérait sa compagnie.

Cet ordinateur donne notamment accès aux fonds en cryptomonnaies déposés dans des « portefeuilles froids », un support numérique codé hors ligne permettant d’échapper aux pirates informatiques, explique la presse.

« Je ne connais pas le mot de passe ni les codes de récupération », a assuré Jennifer Robertson. « Malgré des recherches répétées et méticuleuses, je n’ai pu en trouver aucune trace écrite ».

La société, présentée comme la principale plateforme de cryptomonnaies au Canada, permet d’échanger bitcoin, litecoin et etherum.

Money is a social tool to achieve cooperation among a group of people. Through history, the form of money has evolved from collectibles to coinage to currency issued by fiat. Money often reflects the values or politics of the communities that issue and use them.We refer to social money as money that is used within a community for social purposes, such as creating exchangeable value where none existed before or creating a market for social experiences that otherwise would be impossible or have a high social cost. This is in contrast to other forms of money such as fiat currency used to pay taxes and for everyday commerce in a country or decentralized money like Bitcoin used as censorship resistant store of value.The digital culture fueled by the rise of communities that live on the (...)

DAI — a decentralized opposition to the ‘banking cartel’ of stablecoins accumulates 1.7 million ETH in reservesNot without an ample dose of skepticism, 2018 can indeed be referred to as the year of the stablecoin. Amid total backlash against Tether, and yet high demand for stable cryptocurrency as a means of settlement, a growing cohort of stable coin solutions were rolled out to the market. These appear to be the stablecoins that enjoy most credibility among crypto exchanges today: Paxos Standard PAX, Gemini GUSD, Circle USDC, Carbon CUSD, TrustToken’s TUSD. Yet, it’s safe to say that none of the above products is truly decentralized, essentially being more of a token with the right to claim a fiat USD equivalent stored in a centralized storage (most often on a bank account).What it means is (...)

Why another bubble is likely and what the blockchain space should focus on nowIn the aftermath of the 2001 internet bubble, Carlota Perez published her influential book Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital. This seminal work provides a framework for how new technologies create both opportunity and turmoil in society. I originally learned about Perez’s work through venture capitalist Fred Wilson, who credits it as a key intellectual underpinning of his investment theses.In the wake of the 2018 ICO bubble and with the purported potential of blockchain, many people have drawn parallels to the 2001 bubble. I recently reread Perez’s work to think through if there are any lessons for the world of blockchain, and to understand the parallels and differences between then and now. As (...)

By the way, one very popular ÐApp library is called web3.js, as being the successor of what we currently know as Web 2.0.

Most #cryptocurrency pioneers would not call what they’re building “institutions.” The term reeks of centralization — it’s too unsexy. (Except when it’s “institutional capital”, then it’s welcomed with open arms.)In a recent debate between Paul Krugman and Katie Haun on cryptocurrencies, Krugman is asked why he rejects the decentralized vision behind cryptocurrencies. He responds:“We developed this socially ingenious thing: enduring institutions […] and it’s going to be really, really hard to come up with something better.”This is an unpopular view within the crypto world, but I think he’s absolutely right.Ask what has driven the economic vitality of the most advanced nations in the world, and we pretty much know the answer: it’s strong institutions.

Ethereum has been around for four years now. The platform that was to “Build Unstoppable Applications” quickly turned out to be a Token Manufacturing Plant which churns out Ethereum tokens for any conceivable idea, object or abstraction imaginable. From those that can be used for ‘Sin Forgiving’ (Jesus Coin) to those that are probably not meant for such use (SpankChain), the tokenization train is seeing more people get on board day by day. However, the train which everyone seems to miss is this one called adoption, also known as ‘getting real users to come on to your platform and do stuff with your highly valuable token’.One of the primary reasons for the low adoption rate is the poor user experience and the high barrier to interaction that this ecosystem imposes on its users.
