Abstract:
With nearly six years of empirical data and use-cases behind the Nakamoto consensus method the community has observed that a cryptocurrency economy behaves differently than originally envisioned and intended. What has arisen from these half-a-decade of physical interactions is a nearly complete rollback of the primary attributes embodied within the first of these Nakamoto consensus protocols, Bitcoin – to the point where it may best to refer to it as Bitcoin-in-name-only (BINO). Consequently there are two other challenges within this existing BINO framework: (1) the diametrically opposed forces of speculative demand versus transactional demand; (2) decoupling coins from the ledger altogether. This presentation discusses several proposed solutions to the challenges currently being devised by a multitude of teams.

Eggsplore (http://www.eggsplore.eu) invited me to talk about blockchain and financial institutions. Instead of a reversed pitch and the inevitable death by powerpoint, I decided to slightly alter my approach.
Once upon a time... (in 2016 to be precise) Satoshi Nakamoto enters a Big Bank's innovation competition with this totally out of whack idea called "blockchain". She has to explain the idea to her colleagues and pitch it to her directors. I managed to get a hold of her slides and embedded these in this fairytale about distributed ledger technology and financial institutions.
It's a fairytale so please keep in mind: some things/examples might be true, other fictional.
FirstPartner's 2016 Blockchain Ecosystem Market Map helps to decrypt the blockchain landscape with a visual overview of the emerging ecosystem, players, technologies and trends. It clearly summarises three main areas of focus emerging around the core blockchain or distributed ledger protocols:
1) Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies: Providing an alternative to centrally managed "fiat" currencies, this sector includes Bitcoin exchanges, Bitcoin wallets, miners and cryptocurrency payment processors. The map illustrates how these companies interact and features some leading players including Coinbase, Circle, Kraken and 21 Inc.
2) The Financial Services Blockchain: This has been the main area of focus over the last 12 months as attention shifts from Bitcoin to Financial Services applications. An increasing number of players are focussing on commercialising blockchain technologies for banks, securities, derivatives and asset markets and institutional investors - and are attracting VC funding to do so. Ripple and Ethereum are leading candidate protocols for payment processing and smart contracts and players including Ripple, Chain and Digital Asset Holdings are gaining traction with Financial Institutions. The Map highlights leading technology companies and some of the banks, card schemes and processors who are investing in or evaluating distributed ledger technologies.
3) Other Use Cases: The distributed ledger concept and its ability to support transparent and tamper-proof asset registration, proof of ownership and asset transfer transactions makes it potentially applicable to multiple non financial use cases. The Map highlights a number of candidate use cases including publishing, legal, distributed data storage, document management and IoT. Some of the pioneering initiatives and companies exploring these applications are included.
Crucially the Map also provides a clear pictorial explanation and summary of the leading protocols at the heart of the ecosystem and concepts including coloured coins and smart contracts that supplement them to make a number of the proposed services possible.

Bitter to Better — How to Make Bitcoin a Better Currency.Qutomatic
Bitter to Better — How to Make Bitcoin a Better Currency.
Bitcoin is a distributed digital currency which has attracted a substantial number of users. We perform an in-depth investigation to understand what
made Bitcoin so successful, while decades of research on cryptographic e-cash
has not lead to a large-scale deployment. We ask also how Bitcoin could become
a good candidate for a long-lived stable currency. In doing so, we identify several
issues and attacks of Bitcoin, and propose suitable techniques to address them
The world of Fiat currencies are old, outdated, not enough hard currency money
supply and mismanaged by its current governments (Currency Wars) and now starting to
cause Social unrest, this is only the beginning and trying to get ahead of and prevent this
very serious situation from getting really out of hand. The world has experienced Global
Financial Crisis (2008 -2013), Central Banks disorder = Major Social disorder & unrest. In
this paper, we present a survey on crypto currencies, merits of crypto currencies compared
to fiat currencies and we then compare different crypto currencies that are proposed in the
literature. Finally, we propose different requirements that should be satisfied by crypto
currencies to replace Fiat Currencies.
What is happening with the Crypto Market. Could it be than course correction or is the bubble busting on the market? You need to answer it for yourself.
The future of cryptocurrency—some challenges
As we gaze into our crypto ball, let’s see what the future of cryptocurrency has in store for traders. With many experts estimating that the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the decline of cash by almost five years, few are asking whether digital currencies will actually succeed (they have already). Instead, it’s a matter of when they’ll go mainstream. Nevertheless, there are some challenges ahead.
Perceptions
A significant generational divide exists when it comes to adoption rates of cryptocurrencies. Older generations are typically more sceptical of crypto’s long-term viability, expressing fears about volatile financial bubbles as well as uncertainty over how cryptocurrencies actually work.
CELSIUS NETWORK is a decentralized lending platform that leverages over-the-counter (OTC) trading and machine learning to enable secure, peer-to-peer borrowing for the crypto market. It has brought together a platform where lenders can leverage their funds to earn up to 5% per month and borrowers can access funds at a significantly lower interest rate than from traditional banks.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

How to get verified on Coinbase Account?_.docxBuy bitget
t's important to note that buying verified Coinbase accounts is not recommended and may violate Coinbase's terms of service. Instead of searching to "buy verified Coinbase accounts," follow the proper steps to verify your own account to ensure compliance and security.
If you are looking for a pi coin investor. Then look no further because I have the right one he is a pi vendor (he buy and resell to whales in China). I met him on a crypto conference and ever since I and my friends have sold more than 10k pi coins to him And he bought all and still want more.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.
What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
how to sell pi coins in all Africa Countries.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, usdt , Ethereum and other currencies And this is done easily with the help from a pi merchant.
What is a pi merchant ?
Since pi is not launched yet in any exchange. The only way you can sell right now is through merchants.
A verified Pi merchant is someone who buys pi network coins from miners and resell them to investors looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before mainnet launch in 2026.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

3. What we have today is not Bitcoin circa
2009
◦ Finality is no longer final (reversibility occurs)
Rolling back transactions, taint/validation
TTP and freezing of assets
“Trust” used 11 times in main body of WP but in
practice consumer behavior trends towards
continual reliance of TTP
◦ ArtForz de-decentralized mining via GPU
(summer 2010) led later to ASIC scaling
◦ Mediation and transaction costs add costs to
a network with already high opex
“A $700 million payments network that is rarely
used for payments”
4. In practice, consumer behavior is
starkly different than expected /
intended
◦ “Hodling” behavior accounts for 50-80% of
all mined coins
◦ Low to no velocity in all but 10% of mined
coins
Primarily used for things that current payment
systems in G-10 cannot legally be used for:
Illicit wares, gambling, mixing (“getaway cars”)
5.
6. Initial user interfaces, on-rampability
suggests creators were not in touch with
how to reach and saturate new traction
channels (e.g., solves few real pain points)
◦ “Great Mensa divide”
“I want a currency, not a hobby”
End result is BINO and what Williams’
calls “Maximalism”
7. “The human element appears to have failed
here, but we’d hate to condemn an entire
program based on a single slip up.”

9. “Bitcoin transactions don’t go beyond the first transaction. The people who have
accepted bitcoins don’t use them to buy something else. It gets back to the
circular flow of income. When Starbucks not only accepts bitcoins but pays their
workers in bitcoins and pays their suppliers in bitcoins, when you go back four of
five stages of productions using bitcoin, then bitcoin will have made it. But that
isn’t happening now and I don’t think that will happen. [Because it isn’t
happening now and because so many more people are speculating on bitcoin
rather than transacting with it], volatility will remain huge and will deter those
who might have wanted to enter the bitcoin economy as users, as opposed to
speculators. Thus, just as bad money drives out good money, Gresham’s
famous law, speculative demand for bitcoins drives out transactional demand for
it.”

12. Dual model of coins and shares embodies the functionality of fiat money at central bank:
money supply is expanded by purchasing assets with newly created money. Money
supply is decreased by selling assets, thereby extinguishing part of the money supply.
This can dynamically be done within a rules-based protocol in a decentralized manner.
Purchasing power is maintained.
Exogenous: USD price of coin, deflated by the CPI, for “zero-inflation“ coin.
Endogenous: Holding GHs/kWh constant, a change in difficulty signals change in coin
value, as hashing power is turned on/off until hashing costs equal the market value of
mining award. Define P(i) in terms of fees and difficulty, deflated by some hard-coded
Moore's Law-like assumption. This would avoid the need to represent market facts
about the outside world at all, keeping the stable coin scheme autonomous and self-referential.
13. A non-agnostic ledger
◦ In order to use the Bitcoin network, you have to use bitcoins (vendor lockin)
◦ Cannot use the underlying tech without using a relatively volatile, illiquid asset
Caveat: metacoins can use the underlying tech, the asset amount may be negligible. Anything
over the dust amount could be tagged as being something much more valuable so end user may
not have to care what the price of a few satoshis is. However, not ideal due disproportional
rewards / free riding security
How to tap into the other proposed use-cases without having to use inflexible
bitcoins?
◦ Second generation of consensus ledgers such as Ripple and Stellar have native coins still
but protocol allows for trust lines for other assets
◦ Meher Roy’s OSI-like “Internet of Money” with multiple protocol layers
◦ Consensus-as-a-service without a coin: Hyperledger
14. There are economic trade offs depending on the level of trust and
consensus required, but shoving everything onto one ledger, some
kind of jack-of-all-trades Houdini ledger, is a bit like the clown car at
a circus. It can be filled with a cornucopia of clowns and coins (and
clowncoins) but the economic incentives might not align with the
duct tape holding it together.
15. Consequently, the community has evolved and created several new
potential methods for untrusted nodes on a public network to arrive
at consensus, to the point where consensus-as-a-service is
becoming its own commoditized subindustry. In the future, this will
likely be abstracted away and developers will be able to fine tune
and granularize the level of centralization and trust they want to
expose their users to.
16. Beyond the annual academic Dijkstra Prize, the nascent digital
currency space has been fast in proposals but slow in actual
production-level roll-outs.
Bitcoin protocol development has understandably slowed in the past
year and as a result most of the innovation has effectively been
outsourced to the altledger ecosystem. Here a steady stream of
both old and new entrepreneurs and developers are toying with
variables that cannot be touched with Bitcoin itself due to its current
development cycle.
17. A friend compared the speed at which this
industry moved with dog years and this is
particularly true in the altledger space. As a
result, a new ledger can be forked, tweaked
and spun up that incorporates the latest
ideas in this space. Most do fail and will
likely fail in the future, but that’s the nature of
iteration in technology.
18. Example: A Hyperledger consensus pool can
be implemented in different ways. Some
pools may exist of only known entities, like
banks, but more public pools can have their
own node membership requirements, like an
extended SSL certificate from a Certificate
Authority to prevent Sybil attacks.
19. “Whenever SPAM comes up, people seem to be quick to jump to the easy
solution of "if we charge a little bit then it will go away" without thinking of
the damaging consequences this could have to adoption and legitimate use
cases. Let's take email for example, charging 1c an email would be pretty
negligible, but what happens to newsletters? Alert systems? Notifications?
Now imagine it's not 1 cent but 1 emailcoin. Would email have overcome
the early barriers to adoption to become the universal communication
system it is if you had to purchase a new currency just to use it? The
solution to SPAM is better software; blacklisting, greylisting, rate limits, etc.
Gmail is free but I get 0% SPAM in my inbox. Snail mail costs a stamp but
nearly 100% percent of my letterbox is unsolicited.”

Growing marketplace of ideas for distributing / ‘burning’ seigniorage
and dynamic MOE
XaaS: Cryptographic “ledger” as a service (CLaaS) and consensus
as a service (CaaS) may arise in many forms (See Ryan Straus)
Separation of powers (financial controls), regulatory compliance,
human elements will be perpetual hurdles (Boase)
23. By having two coins, one targeted at speculative demand (shares), the other targeted at tx demand (coins),
we now have a mechanism for distributing the seigniorage of the latter. When coin supply needs to increase,
coinbase can be claimed by share holders by a share proof-of-burn; shares are swapped for coin at a ratio
determined by the distributed auction mechanism. When coin supply needs to decrease, sharebase can be
claimed by coin holders by a coin proof-of-burn; coins are swapped for shares, again at a ratio determined by
the auction.
If the long term growth rate of coin demand is positive, shares will become increasingly scarce. It's easy to
show that the fair value of shares is the net present value of all future seigniorage (ie, all future changes in
coin supply).
Coin supply will expand and contract with coin demand, stabilising the market price of coin. What allows
these supply changes to happen is speculative demand, now expressed in the market for shares, the holders
of which are awarded with new coin supply, and diluted with coin supply reductions.
The two motives of demand--transactional and speculative--no longer work against each other as they do in
monocoin systems, but complement each other like a monetary ying and yang. Coin holders give up the
benefits of increased coin demand and get stability in return. Share holders provide the capital to absorb
reductions in coin supply and get in return any increase in coin supply.
In this way, the market value of coin is immunised from speculations about future rates of coin adoption.
24. So the core operational principle of a protocol that aims to stabilise the
market value of coin is the following rule: at the end of some pre-defined
interval of time, if the change in coin price over the interval is X%, change
coin supply by X%. More specifically, let's call that interval of time the
rebase period, defined as every n blocks. The coin supply rule mandates
that:
where i is the i-th rebase period, Q is coin supply and P is coin price.
25.
26. Building a hospital without consulting a doctor or nurse is a bit like
trying to build an economy without talking to economists or financial
professionals. This is what has happened with the Bitcoin
community – throwing the baby with the bath water in an attempt to
recreate what they perceive as a superior model which by many
metrics has not fulfilled the promises due to a lack of insights from
real economists. Blockchains and hash-based ‘proof of work’ are
innovative but did not overthrow all the existing laws of economics.
Editor's Notes
Originally presented on November 5, 2014 at the Inaugural CAIA-SKBI Cryptocurrency Conference 2014 hosted at Singapore Management University: http://skbi.smu.edu.sg/conference/111726?itemid=5806
Abstract:
With nearly six years of empirical data and use-cases behind the Nakamoto consensus method the community has observed that a cryptocurrency economy behaves differently than originally envisioned and intended. What has arisen from these half-a-decade of physical interactions is a nearly complete rollback of the primary attributes embodied within the first of these Nakamoto consensus protocols, Bitcoin – to the point where it may best to refer to it as Bitcoin-in-name-only (BINO). Consequently there are two other challenges within this existing BINO framework: (1) the diametrically opposed forces of speculative demand versus transactional demand; (2) decoupling coins from the ledger altogether. This presentation discusses several proposed solutions to the challenges currently being devised by a multitude of teams.
Jack of all trades refers to how many Bitcoin advocates promote the use of a single ledger to do everything when in practice one ledger may not have a cost advantage over using alternative ledgers. One potential solution that is being worked on are “sidechains” from Blockstream. See their whitepaper: http://www.blockstream.com/sidechains.pdf

The $700 million number arises from the amount of bitcoins created each year multiplied by a weighted token value (of ~around $600). This fluctuates with time and if token prices continue to decline, could impact the overall costs of maintaining the network (e.g., MV=MC).
The whitepaper (WP) referred to is the original Satoshi whitepaper: http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
An alternative would be “Bitcoin Maximalism” which was described by Dominic Williams: http://blog.pebble.io/post/100702644738/on-sidechains-bitcoin-maximalism-and-freedom
The figures of 50-80% refer to the last use of a UTXO as described by John Ratcliff: http://www.coindesk.com/what-block-chain-analysis-tells-bitcoin/
Coin mixing can take many forms, but several projects are underway specifically to allow users to mix coins for the purposes of removing any potential linkability. While there may be “noble intentions” (e.g., to purportedly help the oppressed living in failing states), in practice most mixing services and tumblers are in high demand by those trafficking illicit transactions (such as ill-gotten gains). And in effect, these could be described as “getaway cars.”
Mensa is an exclusive organization whose sole entrance requirement is a “high IQ.” Similarly, to use Bitcoin thus far, it requires in-depth understanding and knowledge to effectively and safely transact and store privkeys. This may change in the future (with ease-of-use in mind).
Another term for the monopolistic pumping could be, “Bitcoin uber alles.”
