Samsung ผนึกกำลังกับ Veritree ซึ่งเป็นพันธมิตรของ Cardano Foundation ในการพยายามฟื้นฟูผืนป่า

บริษัทยักษ์ใหญ่ด้านเทคโนโลยีอย่าง Samsung จะมีโอกาสใกล้ชิดกับ Cardano ผ่านการเป็นพาร์ทเนอร์กับ Veritree ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรการจัดการการปลูกต้นไม้ด้วยเทคโนโลยีบล็อคเชน ตามทวีตที่โพสต์โดย Sidney Vollmer หัวหน้าส่วนงานแบรนด์และการสื่อสารจาก Cardano Community

ซัมซุงตั้งเป้าที่จะจัดการกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศโดยการปลูกต้นโกงกางสองล้านต้นในมาดากัสการ์ ซึ่งเป็นประเทศที่เป็นเกาะตั้งอยู่ในแอฟริกาตะวันออก

ป่าชายเลนสามารถจะกักเก็บคาร์บอนไดออกไซด์ได้มากกว่าป่าเขตร้อนอื่นๆ ถึงประมาณสิบเท่า

ความร่วมมือดังกล่าวได้มีการประกาศในงาน Consumer Electronics Show (CES) ประจำปีที่จัดขึ้นที่ลาสเวกัส อเมริกา

Mark Newton หัวหน้าฝ่ายความยั่งยืนขององค์กร (Corporate Sustainability) ของ Samsung Electronics America กล่าวในแถลงการณ์ว่าการลงทุนในเทคโนโลยีที่เป็นนวัตกรรมนั้น “สำคัญ” ในการต่อสู้กับการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศ:

การลงทุนในนวัตกรรมทางเทคโนโลยี เช่น นวัตกรรมที่สร้างการปรับปรุงประสิทธิภาพและลดของเสียให้เหลือน้อยที่สุด ร่วมกับการแก้ปัญหาจากธรรมชาติ มีความสำคัญในการต่อสู้กับการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศ

ความร่วมมือระหว่าง Cardano กับ Veritree การบันทึกการตรวจสอบการปลูกป่าของ Veritree จะถูกเก็บไว้ในบล็อคเชนของ Cardano เทคโนโลยีนี้ทำให้สามารถตรวจสอบข้อมูลจากพื้นที่ปลูกและเชื่อมโยงการบริจาคแต่ละครั้งกับพื้นที่ที่ดินที่ช่วยฟื้นฟูได้

ปีที่แล้ว มูลนิธิคาร์ดาโน่ (Cardano Foundation) ได้เปิดตัว Initial Tree Offer (ITO) ร่วมกับ Veritree ซึ่งยูสเซอร์สามารถบริจาค 1 เหรียญ ADA เพื่อรับเหรียญ 1 Tree Token เป็นตัวแทนของต้นไม้หนึ่งต้น

ผู้ที่บริจาคอย่างน้อย 500 ADA จะได้รับใบรับรองการปลูกแบบดิจิทัลและ “NFTree Art”

“ผู้เล่นระดับสูง” (Highballers) บริจาคจำนวน 100,000 ADA จะได้รับ “NFTree Art” ที่ “มีเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัวระดับโลก” รวมถึงการมีชื่อของพวกเขาบนแผนที่

การปลูกต้นไม้ระหว่าง Cardno และ Veritree มีกำหนดจะดำเนินต่อไปจนถึงสิ้นปี 2565

ซึ่ง Veritree วางแผนที่จะปลูกต้นไม้ให้ครบพันล้านต้นภายในปี 2573

The work Accumulate is doing for identity-first, human-readable crypto addresses will usher in the next era of ease into the crypto adoption process. That identity-based address that Accumulate offers is a registry similar to the one that DNS created for the internet.

Topics covered in this post include:

Before DNS, domains were long and not easily readable by humans. Then when the Domain Name System arrived, IP addresses of the world wide web were translated into Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) like Google and Reddit.

Every single device that is internet-connected has an associated Internet Protocol (IP) address. Then, another machine utilizes the IP address to identify the device that is being searched for. The DNS takes away what was previously a requirement — knowing the complex IP address. For example, 192.158.1.38.

The DNS has acted like the Internet’s Yellow Pages and has included domain names that we use to get to the places we want to visit on the web. As a result of the DNS, people are able to do things like access their beloved social media channels, post questions on Reddit, and check the score of sports games.

Any time that the internet browser interacts with the IP, the DNS translates the string of numbers associated with the IP into a URL.

The work Accumulate is doing with blockchain addresses is parallel to what the DNS did and still does for IP addresses… makes crypto addresses human-readable.

There are several problems with the state of long alphanumeric blockchain addresses that we use to make crypto transactions. Primarily, blockchain addresses are not user-friendly and they lack easy recovery methods. While proponents argue that this is a built-in security feature, there are ways to achieve a proportionate amount of security without all of the hassles that the current state of blockchain domains cause.

Blockchain addresses are not user-friendly: A BlockCAT survey asked participants to self-assess their anxiety when sending a crypto payment. Over 94% of respondents admitted that they worried about making a mistake when sending crypto and an additional 11% admitted to sending money to the wrong address (Forbes). Besides someone with savant-like abilities, who has the capability (or time) to remember these long alphanumeric crypto addresses that are used today? Short answer: no one. Instead, the world needs solutions that can be used more easily.

Accumulate’s user-friendly, human-readable identities address this issue by being derived from names we are familiar with.

Lack of recovery: Many stories have circulated about the number of people who have lost access to their crypto accounts which has resulted in a loss of funds. For crypto payment’s adoption level to evolve further into the mainstream, account recovery needs to be a focus. It produces a lot of anxiety to store crypto with the chance that the custody could be gone if the person or entity loses access to the private key. While this system has been great for security, it’s almost too good in the sense that an estimated 20% of Bitcoin, or $140 billion, is inaccessible due to lost private keys.

Accumulate offers a hierarchical alternative where the master key for identity can reset the keys that are lower on the hierarchy list. Imagine a corporation on the blockchain in which the company’s chairman, president, or CEO is able to reset corporate keys for a new hire that hasn’t fully earned the time-tested trust of the company yet.

Said in a different way, Accumulate acts similarly to a human-readable, Web 3.0 version of a URL. While Web2 and its associated companies had the DNS, Web3 has Accumulate identities. Through Accumulate identities, blockchain addresses become:

Essentially, Accumulate takes the long public crypto addresses that we all know and detest, then replaces it with a simple identity that’s easy to see and understand. The once complicated 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2 now becomes Acc://BlueOrg.

Accumulate vs Ethereum Name Service

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is an Ethereum-based domain solution that provides a URL similar to a name or email that is substituted for a crypto address. Essentially, ENS translates and simplifies the long, alphanumeric text string that people are used to. With the ENS, 0xb764f5ea0ba39494ce839613fffba94229579261 is simplified to Drew.ETH.

Accumulate identities are similar to ENS addresses in that you can send and receive tokens to a simplified blockchain address. However, Accumulate identities have a much more robust range of native features which include readability, security, and management (as previously mentioned). While ENS is a strong candidate for personal accounts, Accumulate’s enterprise-grade security is strong enough for some of the most complex entities in the world like governments and major corporations.

You just moved to a new high school. Imagine that before you get to your first class the principal stops you in the hall and explains that every student must undergo a basic “common sense” assessment so they may be correctly placed on the right learning path to optimize their education. Of course, this sounds great to you, so you comply and follow the principal at their instruction. You are taken to a room that has two one-way mirrors on opposite ends and a table in the middle. On the table is a single white sheet of paper with the following information:

To your left is a view into room A and to the right, room B. Each room contains students working together to produce the best outcome for a particular problem. You will not be told what the objective is or even what the problem being solved is. We cannot tell you how long they have been working or how much longer they have to work. You will have no input on their final product in any way shape or form and will be unable to communicate with either group. Your task is to choose which group you think will produce the best outcome and will do this by “joining” that group so your fate is the same as theirs. You will only be allowed to observe each group from behind the glass and will be told which group has a higher collective IQ. Room B has the higher collective IQ.

It is an odd first day at school but the task seems simple enough. A timer starts for 5 minutes and the edges of the window looking into room A begin to flash, signaling that this is the room to observe first.

The group in Room A is noticeably larger. The large group is in an uproar of chatter with constant physical movement. You quickly notice there are subunits within the group. Some students seem hard at work, others are on their phones or just having casual conversations. It is unclear if anything at all is getting done by this group. After a couple of minutes, you identify a few individuals that seem to be the “leaders” however most of their time seems to be spent trying to get the attention of others and from the expressions, on their faces, you infer that there is disagreement within the group.

The 5 minutes are up and the window looking into Room B begins to flash, you walk over.

Room B has much fewer members, you calculate it is at least one-tenth of the size of the group in Room A. Again, you spend some time observing the members and notice they seem to be organized and focused. When one member begins to speak, others pick their heads up and listen. The contrast in energy between groups could not be starker, the large group is chaotic while the smaller group is calm. All members in the second group seem to resemble the same visual leadership that stood out for only a few members in Room A.

Time is up and the principal reenters with a form for you to submit which group you would like to join. Which group did you join?

If you didn’t watch the video above, don’t worry you did not miss much. It’s a sad eight minutes of a charlatan spreading what will end up being the worst opinionated TV segment of all time. In a nutshell, Bill Maher demonstrates a pathetic misunderstanding of not only crypto but how technological change happens. Bill spends a lot of useless energy touching on technical or fundamental arguments regarding crypto in a feeble attempt to undermine it. I will not bore you with any rebuttal to his fallacious arguments, there are much better defenders of crypto who have already taken on that task (most notably, Nic Carter, I implore you to read/listen to his work as it is masterful). My goal is to show how Bill spent a whole lot of time, energy, and likely money just to miss the point by a country mile.

In the thought experiment, I laid out a framework within which you had to operate. The rules could have been any so long as they were sufficiently arbitrary, though I specifically chose the absence of information to closely resemble how most people feel with regards to crypto. In any case, the first step in determining your answer to the principal was to recognize that most of what you were told was meaningless. Not only did you literally have no idea what was going on but all of the dramatic build-up was just for show. There was never any value in the details, except for the obvious — which group was smarter. I imagine everyone who read that exercise chose to join Room B, if you did not I am afraid there is not much that can be done for you. In other words, you are ngmi.

The point of the exercise was to realize that in an uncertain situation you would follow the smartest people in the room, or in this case, the room with the smartest people. This is what most crypto-haters fail to get. They drone on and on about the energy usage or the limited transactional scale of a given crypto (mostly bitcoin) but never ZOOM OUT. In every major technological shift, the smartest people all seem to join the frontier. Cars, the internet, and now with crypto. Too often, society places a premium on being a subject matter expert when in reality most people just need to be able to “read the room” for where the smart people end up. Wanting to believe you “know something” when you don’t know shit is a common flaw amongst humans. Particularly with crypto-haters, they foolishly dance around complex technicalities that they themselves don’t even understand yet parrot with the full confidence of the original author. In the clip above, Bill admits he does not understand crypto yet talked for eight minutes about it…funny don’t you think? I get it, Bill has made a career off being a sounding board for contrarian ideas and so it plays that he would have strong opinions about crypto but even after making an “attempt” to disclose his lack of knowledge, we get a viral clip that is sure to incorrectly influence many Americans.

I spent some time looking at the response to Bill’s segment after the clip made its rounds on Twitter and among nocoiners there was an overwhelming sense of agreement with what Bill said. An endless stream of regular people trying to rationalize their discontent with crypto. It is truly sad to see so many people waste so much time and energy on arguments they don’t fully comprehend and ultimately do not matter. Looking to position yourself and your family for a better life in the future is actually a lot simpler than people want to admit. I suppose that is in part because most people are not keen on admitting that they don’t know something. Well, even though I fancy myself a “crypto-enthusiast” (i.e. know enough to hold an intelligible conversation) I can admit I am no “expert”, yet. All things considered, I sleep soundly at night knowing that the smartest people in the world are in my corner and not Bill’s. Nothing is certain but I am confident that if Bill doesn’t change his tune soon, it is going to be one hellish decade for him. I guess only time will tell, see you in 2031.

First of all, there are more than ten thousand different crypto assets out there right now, and the number of cryptocurrencies known to the average person is no more than a few, in the other hand, an active crypto investor can be familiar with several dozen names of cryptocurrencies. What about the rest of the people?

Let’s start with low-capitalized tokens. These are the coins with markets operated under $1 billion and have one major advantage, as well as an equally major disadvantage. This advantage, of course, is the expectation of growth. To visualize, the largest cryptocurrencies such as BTC or ETH can be expected to grow by 3 or 5, up to 10 times per year, while the mentioned altcoins can be expected to grow by x100 or more per year. The trick here is the ability to choose, and after you manage to invest in the right asset on time, the value you have invested can be multiplied many times over.

The disadvantage is the risks that may occur. For example, cryptocurrencies such as BTC or BNB are relatively reliable (as much as the maximum rate at which a cryptocurrency can provide trust). But with small altcoins, things go quite differently. These altcoins can collapse forever at any time, and investors may lose the investments they have made. This is why they are called frauds.

• Are they assets highly vulnerable to pumps and discharges?

• Check the 3mo recent history and see if there are sudden rises and falls. If there are lots of movements, it may tell the coin is probably controlled by bots, which are basically automated buy/sell market operations, and it’s very difficult to foresee what will happen with them.

• Can a significant part of an asset be stored in more than one wallet?

• So to say, redistribution, the more users the better, which also has implications regarding the coin’s lifetime.

• Does it have low liquidity?

• If yes, this means it’s a risk because a non-volatile coin only serves a few investors and can bring you nothing in the future. Liquidity is the rate at which any economic asset can be converted into money at any time without causing any damage or loss.

• Cryptocurrency markets can be considered pretty unstable. Although some people make a lot of money, some also lose a lot. Never invest an amount you can’t afford to lose, and never invest in a sense of revenge, this often causes loss of money.

• Well, a safe investment can also be a good investment, but it is not always that a good investment is also a safe investment.

• You have to take risks for a good investment, but there are ways where you can pull that risk to a minimum possible.

• You have eliminated some candidates with the questions above. Now you will be sort of a spectator. Start following the development news of the particular coin. Find them, and pay attention to the team, their social media (if it exists). If a project does not have a team, or the developers claim at the launch that they want to remain anonymous after the team is presented, discard immediately. Why? If a project wants money invested in its project but hides its team, it may have something else to hide. For example, it could be a scam coin with a stolen white paper, a copied and changed description. Such a coin can only be issued for the sake of a one-time sale of all coins, and after that, such projects are immediately abandoned.

• Or the team can be open, but its “no-name” members are ordinary unknown people. The lack of recognizable faces in the team can also have a bad effect on PR, therefore the project is probably doomed.

• Find the leaders. Litecoin had a leader, Luxcoin has a leader, the Ethereum has a leader who put his name on everything about the project and promised to be there with continuous developments. These are good signs.

• Although, even having an open leader and team, some coins are hideously built for short prices spikes, mostly thanks to the hype, and then develop a steadily falling graph. You should avoid these as well.

• After eliminating the obviously risky choices, you should be seeking that the project is not abandoned, that it’s still in development. In fact, GitHub is the only place where you can check if the project is being worked on, whether it is abandoned or not. The more recent the activities there, the more active and attended the coin is. ETH has an update almost every minute.

• At last, after all this research, you should come up with 5 to 10 coins to invest in. Your budget will be 100% and you will distribute this from the safest to the riskiest in percentages. In this way, you will have the minimum risk possible, have made a safe and stable investment, and if you lose on one, which you will certainly will, you can keep maintaining your investment in the others.

• If you’re still not sure about the distribution, and you are afraid to invest in little-known projects, then you can just give something like 30% to Bitcoin, but only when the hype is lower. Bitcoin is the monolith of coins and always has reliability. Big banks are on it, but it would make a small, most likely 4x maximum. The main idea is to have a big one as some kind of a backup mechanic, a safety belt, and you will manage others without the fear of broad loss.

Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Engines, a U.S. financial firm, told CNBC on the 12th (local time) that he expects the SEC to approve a Bitcoin spot ETF in 2022 or 2023. ‘There are no more excuses to deny approval,’ he mentioned.

He said, “SEC members are aware that the crypto-currency market has matured a lot and they recognize the innovative nature of crypto-currency. Therefore, in order to protect investors, we need an ETF product that can receive advice from financial experts.”

Previously, U.S. asset management firm WisdomTree announced that it had allocated 1.3% of Bitcoin futures to the Managed Futures Strategy ETF currently in operation after the rejection of the Bitcoin Spot ETF application. Last October, Wisdom Tree filed an application with the SEC to add bitcoin futures to the fund. At the time, Wisdom Tree announced its intention to allocate up to 5% to Bitcoin futures. There are no plans to invest directly in Bitcoin.

In response, CoinDesk explained, “The news came a month after the SEC rejected Wisdom Tree’s approval to launch a Bitcoin spot ETF.” Furthermore, WisdomTree added, “We are currently rewriting the application for a strong and compelling spot Bitcoin ETF. We will overcome the SEC issue.”

Meanwhile, Fidelity Digital Assets (FDAS), a crypto-currency subsidiary of global asset management firm Fidelity, said in a recent report, “Crypto-currency companies continue to innovate and grow the industry. As a result, clearer crypto-currency regulations are needed in 2022. “ diagnosed.

FDAS said, “A clear regulatory environment can be created to allow more money to flow into the digital asset market. The pace of growth of the crypto-currency industry is certainly impressive, but its size is relatively small compared to traditional assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars. worldwide,” FDAS said. Ultimately, we can only expect a steady influx of investors when regulatory clarity and accessibility are improved.
