Crypto Industry Buzz: Your Weekly Roundup
This week had its fair share of ups and downs in the crypto world. From new platforms offering innovative services to exchanges facing issues, we covered it all here at The Daily Decrypt. Let’s dive right into the highlights!
Monday Madness: New Players Enter the Scene
In an exciting turn of events, CryptoGrind launched, sporting a model akin to Fiverr but with a crypto twist. Freelancers in various sectors such as marketing, programming, and graphic design can now earn in bitcoin! Not only that, it doubles as an escrow system – goodbye, payment disputes!
Another newcomer, Sato.sh, has entered the chat with a social network paying users in bitcoin for upvoted content. Picture Reddit but with actual cash rewards! Currently in invite-only beta, the buzzworthy vibe has crypto enthusiasts waiting for their exclusive invites. The FOMO is real!
Changes in Marketplace: Rebranding and New Services
Tuesday brought some significant rebranding as Cryptothrift shed its name and reemerged as Bitify. This eBay-like auction site now supports buying and selling via both bitcoin and litecoin, with everything from gift cards to luxury items available. They even provide an escrow option – getting secure has never looked so good!
Meanwhile, Shipcoin jumped on the bandwagon, promising to simplify shipping by printing USPS labels in exchange for bitcoin. Just pop in your shipping info, pay up, and voilà! You’re already halfway to your next package delivery.
Wednesday Woes: A Cautionary Tale
Midweek, we saw some unsavory news as reports emerged from Cryptsy users claiming that their deposited funds were being held hostage. For everyone traveling the crypto expanse, be cautious if you’re trading and be wary of where you put your coins.
On a brighter note, Forklog took a bold leap, launching the Forklog Asset on the NXT Asset Exchange. Within hours, over 300,000 NXT (~US$220) was raised. Fundraising just got a cryptographic makeover!
Thursday Tech: Trustless Transactions & Charitable Innovations
Innovation continued on Thursday as Denarium unveiled the very first “trustless” physical bitcoin, featuring a 2-of-2 multisignature design. What’s that mean? Even if the company kept the private key, only you could make transactions with your coin – keeping the trust back in trusted transactions.
Meanwhile, Ucontrol.TV harnessed the Internet of Things to create a unique live giving experience. Charitable givers can watch their donations literally pour out – talk about a trendy twist on charity.
