“I was blown away by how smooth the process of buying XRP was on Uphold...”

“I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you guys do a really good job.”

Theta Token (THETA) is the native digital currency of the Theta Network. Theta Network provides a blockchain protocol built to empower the creation and streaming of online video content.

The Theta Network rewards users for sharing unused computing bandwidth on a peer basis. The blockchain was designed to allow peer-to-peer video transmission for greater efficiency than access from the initial distributor while at the same time maintaining intellectual property control for the content creator. Bandwidth providers receive a utility token, TFuel.

By solving the “last-mile” delivery problem facing streaming services, THETA was built to capitalize on the demand for high resolution, high bit rate 4k, 8k, and next-generation streaming services. According to a study by Grand View research in February 2021, the total market size for streaming video globally exceeds $40 billion and is projected to expand by a compound growth rate of over 20% until 2027.

Theta Labs, creator of the Theta network, has received multiple patents for processes in the US that cover the network’s “Peer Discovery” algorithm technology to create faster viewing across the full open-sourced blockchain. Theta Labs has secured Google, Sony, and Samsung as Theta Enterprise validators, while media companies including MGM and Lionsgate are on board as content partners. Theta Labs was founded in 2017 as a subsidiary of virtual reality technology firm Sliver.tv.

THETA has a total token supply of 1 billion which is fully in circulation. In March 2021, THETA’s market cap briefly swelled to $11.5 billion, pushing it into the top 10 largest digital currencies by total market value. In mid-April of 2021, THETA hit an all-time high above $15 but one month later, as of May 16, 2021, it was 40% lower, down to about $9.

XRP is the cryptocurrency used by the RippleNET payment platform. Banks and other traditional financial institutions are known for their slow and expensive transactions; Ripple is trying to build a global settlement network, specifically designed to solve these problems and provide a cheaper, faster, and friction-free payments system.

Ripple describes RippleNET as "a decentralised global network of banks and payment providers using Ripple's distributed financial technology, which provides real-time messaging, clearing, and settlement of financial transactions."

XRP is the native token fuelling the XRP ledger open-source software. There’s a total market capitalization of 100 billion XRP.

XRP not only has one of the fastest confirmation times in the industry but also is capable of handling around 1,500 transactions per second.

Although the total supply is large in comparison with other digital assets, not all XRP is circulating in the market. The Ripple Labs company still holds a high percentage of the total supply, which is reserved for the ongoing funding and development of RippleNET. 

A big part of the XRP value proposition derives from the fact that a certain amount of XRP coins are burned after every transaction, making it deflationary by nature. Also, XRP requires a minimum of 20 XRP for every new wallet address assigned. 

Like many cryptocurrencies, XRP doesn’t require a whole-unit purchase. You can buy fractions of XRP in fact, a single XRP is divisible up to six decimal points, with 0.000001 being the smallest unit, known as a "drop". 

1 XRP is equivalent to 1,000,000 drops. 

A common view of cryptocurrencies is that they have no intrinsic value. 

While this may ring true compared with traditional financial assets, cryptocurrencies do in fact possess enormous intrinsic value. They represent the first time in history that anyone, virtually anywhere with a smartphone or laptop can move value worldwide without touching the legacy financial system. 

The price of XRP is ultimately determined by the law of the market supply and demand. Traders put up asking (selling) and bids (buying) orders and the order book matching process at exchanges creates the current XRP price chart, No surprise: it’s constantly changing.

With Uphold, you can buy digital currencies in just 11 clicks - even if you don’t have an account yet.

Dogecoin was created in December 2013. It's often referred to as the ‘meme’ coin and for good reason. Doge was created as Bitcoin started to be taken seriously and subsequently became valuable.

The creators of Doge thought that crypto should be a laugh and not so uptight.  So they came up with an alternative coin whose goal was to make the industry fun again.

Dogecoin took the community spirit of crypto to new levels. Followers of Dogecoin call themselves Shibes. They even have their own Shibe language made up of funny broken English phrases like, “such amazing”, “much grateful” and “many works”.

You could argue Dogecoin was created as a joke - but the crypto has a huge following and community members ‘tip’ each other Doge for content. 

The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any changes to the crypto since 2015. There are three developers who work as part-time volunteers. Apart from security updates, the core code remains the same

The goal is to become the defacto standard fun cryptocurrency with a strong community. Elon Musk says Dogecoin is his favorite crypto.

Simply put, like most assets, Dogecoin derives its value from how much people are willing to pay for it. 

Since Dogecoin is stored and transferred online, the price is determined globally. It’s the same wherever you are. Any price differences between exchanges are soon arbitraged out by traders. 

There are 125,297,665,179 Doge tokens on the open market, but supply is unlimited. 

What the bears are saying about Dogecoin (DOGE)

Unlimited supply:
If a currency has unlimited supply then in theory it can never materially rise in value.

Dogecoin founder is bearish:
Jackson Palmer has said he thinks there is too much hype and that alone underpins Dogecoin’s value. 

It was created as a ‘Joke’ coin:
Never designed to solve problems or become the next Bitcoin. There’s no roadmap with lofty ambitions. So why would you invest?

What the bulls are saying about Dogecoin (DOGE)

High profile:
Even now, when you think of cryptocurrencies you can name and that your kids know because they’ve seen the memes - Dogecoin is up there. Could its high-profile and celebrity fans woo developers and lead to something useful?  

Cost of entry:
Doge costs less than a cent. Speculators like to see the potential for plenty of upside.

Chainlink aims to build a bridge between payment services and blockchain systems. A marriage between Amex, Visa, plus banks like HSBC and blockchains such as Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Originally called ‘Smart Contract’, the project then changed its name to Chainlink, and the ticker symbol ‘Link’. 

Chainlink held an ICO in September 2017 and was noted for being the world’s first decentralized oracle service. This means it improves on the original smart contract model on Ethereum by allowing contracts to access data feeds and APIs. 

Chainlink is built on the Ethereum network and the native Link token rewards node operators for the retrieval of data from external sources, turning it into a blockchain readable format.

To bring interoperability to payment providers and cryptocurrencies. A good way to look at it is that Chainlink wants to act as a bridge between the old world and the new. 

The goal is to open up blockchain on a global scale by, for example, connecting data to insurance providers to calculate premiums, tracking goods on global supply chains. 

The Chainlink project thinks big - and it doesn’t get much bigger than a partnership with SWIFT, the global payment service.

Connecting smart contracts to “real actionable” data presents a vast opportunity. Without access to such data, smart contracts are limited to use cases relying on on-chain data - information stored on the blockchain. 

Chainlink has created a decentralized network that connects smart contracts to off-chain services, such as a payment network like Worldpay.

How much Chainlink/Link is on the market?

Chainlink has a large supply, which means a low entry price and good accessibility to the network. But Chainlink is unlikely to reach the kind of prices enjoyed by Bitcoin, which has only around 21 million units available. 

There is 350,000,000 LINK on the market, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. 

What the bears are saying about ChainLink (LINK)

Is SWIFT its Achilles heel?
There is no denying that having a partnership with SWIFT is a huge advantage for Chainlink. But could it also hold the project back? 
Diversification through many partnerships can be a surer way to long-term success. 

Marketing:
Many cryptocurrencies rely on hype and don’t have a great product. Chainlink, on the other hand, doesn't do much marketing. Some analysts believe this is a mistake and that they should be doing more to attract the right partnerships. 

What the bulls are saying about ChainLink (LINK)

One of the best teams:
The Chainlink team is one of the best and most experienced teams in the sector, with the parent company, smartcontract.com, opening in 2014. The domain name was registered back in 2008, before even Bitcoin. 

Interoperability:
A huge deal if the project takes off. The opportunity is to create improved interoperability between off-chain services.

Ethereum is a blockchain built for facilitating smart contracts underpinning decentralized applications (dApps). The network's native token, ether (ETH), primarily serves as a means of payment for network transaction fees.

ETH is also used as collateral for borrowing specific ERC-20 tokens within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, as Messari points out.

“Disrupting everything imaginable through decentralization” could very well be Ethereum's mantra as it stood on the shoulders of Bitcoin and hurled blockchain technology toward a wide array of products and services, turning “fintech” on its head in the process.

Ethereum’s stated vision: to create a "world computer" that anyone could access to build applications in a decentralized manner, CoinGecko explained.

All states and data are distributed. And open to the public – total transparency.

At Ethereum’s core is its support for smart contracts, or programmable contracts i.e. coders write “if this, then that” type instructions and, if conditions are met, the contract auto-executes.

Developers of use Ethereum-run smart contracts to write code to securely program an array of digital technology services, value propositions and asset varietals, sans the need for any third-party intermediary.

Examples of projects built on Ethereum as of late August 2022 include tokens, NFTs, DEXs, AMMs, DeFi platforms; lending protocols, yield farms, prediction market platforms and more.

The coming "Merge" is one of the most anticipated events in the history of the blockchain. The “Merge” is shorthand for the long-awaited transitioning the Ethereum blockchain’s transaction verification method from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a less energy-intensive proof-of-stake (PoS) approach.

What will happen is that the Ethereum PoW Mainnet protocol, used for ETH-based transactions, will become the Beacon Chain, a PoS network, meaning that going forward, post-Merge, transactions will be conducted on Beacon. ETH mining via PoW will cease. New ETH tokens will be minted by nodes running the network and staking ETH tokens into a pool to secure the network and validate transactions.

This change potentially puts Ethereum on a path to scalability, according to Messari. "Scalability is a known limitation for the current state of Ethereum, Messari said. "Periods of high user activity can cause transaction times and fees to skyrocket, which often prices out retail users and newcomers."

One of the most memorable network clogging periods unfurled in November of 2017 with the explosion of the CryptoKitties collectibles fad; traffic (and gas fees) spiked yet again during the so-called "DeFi Summer" of 2020, when yield farming activities rocketed to popularity, spawning numerous projects for borrowing, lending and staking.

One of Ethereum’s most infamous episodes, in 2016, involved not scalability but security.

A decentralized autonomous organization, The DAO, set up as venture fund and conducted an initial coin offering (ICO), raising $150 million in ETH. But within weeks, an attacker exploited a bug in one of The DAO's smart contracts resulting in the loss of 3.6 million ETH. In the wake of the incident, the majority of the members of the Ethereum community voted to do a hard fork, start the chain fresh, erasing The DAO from the ledger’s history. Remaining stakeholders, bent on preserving immutability, rebuffed all notions that the ledger could ever be amended and kept the transaction history unchanged. That legacy chain became known as Ethereum Classic (ETC).

When was ETH created and how much was it worth?

Ethereum is the brainchild of Vitalik Buterin, alongside an extensive roster of noteworthy tech industry members who advised him every step of the way (and then went on to start their own projects).

The Ethereum mainnet launched in July of 2015. One year earlier, Buterin received a Thiel Fellowship grant and set up a non-profit, The Ethereum Foundation, which issued 72 million ETH, 80% of which was sold to the public in an online crowdsale held that summer of 2014. Ultimately, the Ethereum Foundation raised roughly 31,000 BTC, which at the time was equivalent to $18.3 million.

The first year of trading saw ETH follow a flat line, in terms of its value in USD. It went from being barely $1 to nearly $10 by the end of 2016, according to CoinGecko.

Ethereum’s original token distribution event involved the sale of roughly 60 million ETH, or 80% of the initial supply of 72 million, according to Messari.

Some 12 million ETH (20% of the initial supply) went to the Foundation and early Ethereum contributors.

The supply of ether has been increasing 4.5% each year. Currently, the circulating supply is estimated to be 120 million ETH.

ETH has been an inflationary asset. As Blockworks explained, Ethereum has countered its token issuance to miners by removing from circulation, or burning, a gas fee paid by buyers that varies based on network demand. When more ETH is created for miners than there is ETH burned, inflation ensues, as has been the case lately (as of late August 2022). This dynamic was set to become more or less a moot point with Ethereum's transition to PoS.

Every transaction on the network requires "gas," which requires expenditures of ether and so it has been said that a virtuous cycle of constant purchase and spending of ETH inherently stokes demand. The transition to "Eth 2.0" means a change from PoW to PoS, and possibly a another shift for the second-largest crypto – from inflationary asset to a more deflationary one.

Here’s why. The PoW consensus approach involves miners creating blocks with 2 newly minted ETH distributed to miners per block.

The supply of ether has been increasing 4.5% each year. The change to PoS will no longer involve miners. Instead, validators will lock up, or stake, their ether in exchange for a yield on their tokens. Ethereum pays 90% less for the network’s security by rewarding stakers as compared to miners because of the difference in required computer power, according to research from Runa Digital Assets, per Blockworks.

If the gas fee exceeds the yield paid to stakers, more ether will be burned than created. This could, in turn, result in deflation, which would, in theory, put upward pressure on the price of ETH.

The PoS system “feels like a share buyback to equity investors,” said Runa's Max Williams. “The network is effectively buying back ETH shares – and destroying them.”

Blockchain security comes down to decentralization. The more decentralized a network is, the better the odds of it preventing a chain from being unceremoniously commandeered by rogue validators, as CoinDesk explained.

A comparative analysis of Ethereum and its closest competitors illustrates that "it is the most decentralized smart contract blockchain in the space," CoinDesk said.

The chain's smart contracts are only as secure as any given developer builds it to be.

It facilitates the creation and execution of smart contracts. And here is why that’s important – because whereas Bitcoin gave the world a decentralized way to mint digital money, it was Ethereum's goal to go even further, presenting to the world a blockchain that featured, per the Ethereum white paper, "a built-in, fully fledged, Turing-complete programming language used to create 'contracts' that can be used to encode arbitrary state transition functions."

Which is a technical way of saying Ethereum made it possible for software developers around the world to create their own multi-purpose networks on top of the baseline network, spawning a universe of all kinds of decentralized systems and markets – automatically trading coins, minting tokenized art, conducting prediction markets, swapping data, aggregating yield farms, you name it. And it's made possible by smart contracts, rendered by writing up the logic in a few lines of code.

Indeed, the flexibility of Ethereum’s smart contracts, CryptoEQ said, "allows for a multitude of projects to build on the Ethereum blockchain and participate in Web 3.0."

It is a bustling super-hub of dApp development. The Ethereum community openly acknowledges that it’s too clogged, which is a kind badge of honor. It's clogged because it boasts more developer and dApp activity – thousands built on the platform – than any other digital asset. And it has partnerships galore, as well as name recognition (second only to Bitcoin) and which has contributed to tremendous network effects (CryptoEQ).

Adds CoinDesk: "The primary reason Ethereum remains superior to its counterparts, and thus worth the cost, is that it is fairly decentralized."

Primarily that it is a congested and expensive network on which to transact. Not being able to scale has confounded Ethereum since its inception and given birth to a cottage industry of rival smart-contract-execution-centric chains – Polkadot and Cardano come to mind – as well as "layer-2 scaling solutions," most notably Polygon and Optimism.

Competition from rival blockchains could eat away at Ethereum's standing while efforts to solve for scalability drag on. Or there are worse fates, critics contend. They cite the network’s fees as a fatal flaw that makes it unusable, opening the door for an “ETH killer” to dethrone it as the primary smart contract execution platform, CoinDesk said.

Currently, Ethereum is in the midst of a prolonged, multi-year upgrade. "Current scaling issues limit the ability of dApps and other projects to grow and create satisfying user experiences," said CryptoEQ. "The project is still incomplete."

Scalability and gas fee issues dominate all conversations concerning Ethereum's drawbacks but there are some other commonly hurled critiques, such as the network's use of overly complicated programming language, a nitpick noted by the Analytics Steps blog. The authors also took issue with Ethereum's unfocused, overly sprawling build, build and build some more model, with platforms on top of platforms, "and so on, all of which may lead to errors, malfunctions, and hacks."

BAT is the cryptocurrency token used to reward viewers and publishers using the Brave Browser.

'Brave' is a new style of browser that protects a user's privacy by blocking ad trackers and malware. By removing ads in this way, while offering a simple interface and different search engine options, the Brave browser provides a faster, safer (and more rewarding) way to browse the internet.

In brief: faster load times while keeping your browsing history all your own.

The BAT or Basic Attention Token is a cryptocurrency that runs on the Ethereum blockchain and is the native token of the Brave Browser ecosystem. 

Advertisers use it to pay rewards to users for viewing ads and to publishers for creating quality content that attracts attention, measured in dwell time.

Why is Basic Attention Token (BAT) popular?

Basic Attention Token (BAT) is popular for many reasons:

As a user, you get paid in BAT for viewing ads while using the browser.

The Brave Browser has a built-in cryptocurrency wallet that securely stores your BAT.

You can set the frequency of how many ads are shown to you while using the browser. 

In addition, BAT is easily transferable, tradable, and could be a good investment given the multi-billion-dollar annual demand for online advertising.

BAT (Basic Attention Token) was launched in an ICO on May 29th, 2017, and sold out in just 30 seconds.

1.5 billion BAT tokens (worth US $35 million) changed hands, proving that there was a huge market for browsing the internet and advertising in new ways. 

What are the advantages of Basic Attention (BAT)

The potential for Brave to grow is enormous: People are looking for alternative browsers, privacy is in the zeitgeist and Brave offers a seamless, easy experience across all devices. More users, more use of BAT.

Other browsers monetise your information:
Browsers like Chrome track you and offer access to your browsing data. Brave pays you instead, with cryptocurrency you can convert to fiat or hold for the future. And it protects your data and history.

Brave Rewards + Uphold Wallet:
Uphold is helping to drive the adoption of BAT by integrating its wallet into the Brave browser so that BAT can be seamlessly converted into national currencies. Apart from the bull run of November 2017 to January 2018, the price of BAT has stayed between $0.50 and $0.10. With wider adoption of the Brave Browser, the demand for Basic Attention Tokens is likely to increase - driving the price up further.

What are the disadvantages of Basic Attention (BAT)

Other competitors could beat Brave:
While people are moving to Brave for privacy, popular browser Firefox already offers customizable privacy settings, and Tor offers completely private viewing.  

The BAT price isn't going up:
The price of Basic Attention Token has been stable for several years.

They've got massive competitors in browsers:
Google and Safari have over 80% of the browser market 
(approximately 65% and 16% respectively), and Brave has less than 1%.

Bitcoin Cash is a top 10 cryptocurrency, so an accurate price is available on many exchanges (like Uphold.com) as well as cryptocurrency price tracking websites.  

Bitcoin Cash was ‘hard forked’ from the Bitcoin core code in August 2017 by a group of cryptocurrency miners and enthusiasts who were concerned about how slow Bitcoin was progressing. 

Their new code design increased the size of the ‘blocks’ that form the blockchain from approximately 1MB per block to 8MB per block. This meant that more information could be processed at the same time, effectively speeding up the network. As Bitcoin Cash was given to holders of Bitcoin at the time of the fork (1:1), it has been incredibly popular with enthusiasts and investors alike. 

How is the price of Bitcoin Cash determined?

Just like Bitcoin, there are 21 million Bitcoin Cash in total and less than that in circulation. 

The price is determined by how much BCH people want to buy at any one time (Demand) vs how many are for sale (Supply). The price 'floats' between the prices that people are offering to buy BCH for (Bid ) and the price that BCH is offered for sale (Offer).

There are thousands of exchange computers around the world that calculate the price constantly. 

What the bears are saying about Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash is still slow: Bitcoin Cash is nearly 4x faster than Bitcoin (~25 transactions per second), but it’s still very slow when compared with XRP (at 1,500 TPS).
