| Blockchain for global supply chains Posted: 11 Apr 2019 03:17 AM PDT Hi all. I am currently writing my Master thesis on how blockchain can increase transparency, traceability and efficiency in global supply chains. The focus is mainly on how large companies can better document that their suppliers adhere to the code of conduct. If anyone is currently working with this area I would love to hear your thoughts, recommendations for articles, projects or any other relevant material. I am still in the beginning of the project so any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is interested I am also open for collaboration with a blockchain start-up or a company looking into the business area. Feel free to DM me. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Curation markets, token bonding curves and "Staked Slashing Schelling Games" – Simon de la Rouviere Posted: 11 Apr 2019 02:53 AM PDT Segment from Epicenter episode 282 with Simon de la Rouviere (r/simondlr) A curation market is a subset of crypto economics that is specifically about the curation of information. Whether that is for "hey look at this funny meme," or "we need to figure out what is important for this DAO and we need to curate a list of topics and issues to discuss in the next monthly call." It is a very broad description of various information that needs to be curated. How do we use crypto economics to make it easier for people to make decisions and/or share information with each other that is novel, whether is a new book or a meme? Curation markets contain many of these crypto economic primitives, one of them being token bonding curves.I primarily put these crypto economic primitives in two buckets. Continuous staking games: that is token bonding curves where you would have a liquid price based on something or a ranking, like many token bonding curves result in some ranking system based on different weights or value that is being staked. On the other hand, and this is a tongue twister, but I like to call it "Staked Slashing Schelling Games." It's essentially saying that people put up some money towards something and they are willing to be proved wrong or right. In return, they either lose their stake, or they gain additional funds. That is what a TCR is, or a token curated registry. People are saying "I want to be a part of this list. I'm willing to put up some money to say that I'm a reputable participant, and you guy need to vote on whether that is the case or not." So it's two different forms in that sense.

| Why Is Cryptocurrency Going Up And Down? Posted: 11 Apr 2019 02:03 PM PDT When discussing the crypto market, people often pay attention to its high volatility. For some volatility is a scary part of investing and buying 'the future of money'. For others, it is a chance of getting hilariously rich. So why is cryptocurrency volatility such a big deal? Is it good or bad? Today we will try to explain it. What does volatility mean? In the simplest terms, volatility is a mathematical tool or index by which we measure the price movements over time for a traded financial instrument or asset. Usually, the volatility of cryptocurrencies is calculated within a specific period: a week, a month or a year. On the basis of monthly or yearly volatility, it is already possible to draw some conclusions and make forecasts on trading strategies. The rates of any of the assets, including crypto are rarely stable. It is usually influenced by demand and supply from ordinary customers and investors, traders, economic and political situations and so on. Of course, compared to traditional assets, the volatility of cryptocurrencies is really high. The average annual volatility of fiat currencies usually does not exceed 3-4%. On the other hand, for example, is Bitcoin which experienced massive growth in 2017, growing from $700 to almost $20,000. That's a staggering 27,000% rate of return in merely 12 months. So what are the main factors causing the volatility in the crypto world?
All fiat currencies are supported by governments, which simply will not allow them to fall or rise in value for no apparent reason. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized and are not supported by any structures, which causes certain changes in their rates.
For example, the exchange rates of many currencies depend on the minerals produced in the country (like oil or gas), as they make up a significant part of exports. The fact that cryptocurrencies are not tied to tangible values causes a certain dissonance in some minds. It is worth mentioning that some crypto coins are backed by real-world currency and traditional assets (for example, Tether which is tied to the USD and some other digital coins).
If the approximate value of corporate shares can be calculated by specific indicators of their activities, unfortunately, there are no such tools in case of digital currencies. In fact, they exist in a kind of a vacuum, and sometimes their rates change for unclear reasons.
A young market backed by new technology is much more volatile than traditional investments that are mature and have been time-tested. New technologies take time to be perfected and adopted by the general masses, and there is a high risk of failure since there are many things that can go wrong.
The cryptocurrency has often been seen as a hotbed for speculation, which induces market instability. This creates an environment filled with tremendous risks. As you can see volatility is an important aspect of cryptocurrencies, but actually, it is a double-edged sword. Almost everyone speaks about the volatility of crypto coins in a negative tone because, in the traditional economy, high volatility is more of a negative than a positive indicator. However, the volatility of the cryptocurrency world has its own advantages. Mainly for traders in the crypto market, because one transaction can bring lots of profit. Thanks to this, many traders will continue entering the cryptocurrency market. Also, high volatility increases trading volumes and ultimately contributes to the popularity of crypto coins. On the other hand, it, of course, has disadvantages: - High risks. Simply put, if the currency rates are swinging so much, where is the guarantee that one day it will not fall to the minimum values? These risks push business away from crypto transactions. - Unpredictability. Nowadays it is very difficult to say how much and why the crypto rate will fall and grow. The crypto market is still trying to find its way. No doubts that cryptocurrencies will become more widespread in all spheres of our life. Nowadays, developers are trying to solve the problem of volatility by creating Stablecoins. But it would be a stretch to say that these alternative cryptocurrencies will be the entire future of cryptocurrencies. Probably after the recognition at the state level and the protection of investors participating in the ICO, longer-term players will start entering the crypto market and the volatility of rates will decrease.
