SEC Nigeria Capacity Building Session by Blockchain Nigeria User GroupChimezie Chuta
Two solid days of quality engagements with SEC Nigeria on the best approach to regulating Fintech, Cryptocurrency and virtual financial assets, facilitated by SEC Nigeria, fsdAfrica, EFInA, and UKaids.
"Regulate, but don't stifle innovation".
That was our message.
This is by far the most fruitful deliberation with any Regulatory Agency on this subject matter.
It was an awesome experience.
Nigeria will get it right in this Blockchain stuff!
LAToken is a platform that allows users to tokenize and trade real-world assets via cryptocurrency. It issues tokens linked to the price of publicly traded assets like real estate, art, and commodities. Cryptoholders can buy these asset tokens using cryptocurrency on the LAT platform. On a predetermined settlement date, LAToken buys back the asset tokens from holders at the current market price of the underlying asset. The platform aims to become a leading global marketplace for asset-backed tokens with a potential annual trading volume of $1.2 trillion by 2025.
Applying the Howey Test to the DAO Tokens- On July 25, 2017, the SEC issued its Report on an investigation into an ICO and related activities by the DAO, an unincorporated entity, Slock.it UG (“Slock.it”), a German corporation, and various principals and participants. Previously in this Lawcast series I went through the parameters of the Howey Test to determine if a particular investment contract is a “security” under the federal securities laws. I also have detailed the relevant facts related to the DAO and its ICO offering.
Applying the Howey Test to the DAO Tokens, the SEC notes that “money” need not include cash, but rather can be anything of value. A contribution of ETH is an investment of “money” as considered by the Howey Test. Investors in the DAO were investing in a common enterprise with the expectation of profits, including dividends and increased value. The SEC also found that the profits were to be derived from the efforts of others, including Slock.it, its founders and the DAO curators...
ICO Research Report - BET Token Issuance by DAO.Casino Token Rating
DAO.Casino is launching an ICO for their BET token to fund their gambling protocol and platform being built on the Ethereum blockchain. Their protocol aims to solve problems in the online gambling industry by providing a decentralized platform for gambling applications. If they are successful in partnering with existing gambling operators and developers, their business model could be disruptive to the industry. The report gives the ICO a 7/10 rating and recommends a strong buy.
Is there a token for that? Tokens demystified.Jan Brejcha
This presentation aims at providing a brief introduction to crypto tokens, how they can be beneficial for the users, and why they can disrupt current industries. Various examples will be discussed.
Crypto tokens are a special kind of signs representing objects and/or functions living in the underlying blockchain, and can be generated by smart contracts.
Tokens enable the viability of open source protocols, and dApps (decentralized applications), which was previously unattainable.
Current regulatory frameworks try to mitigate frauds in ICOs, while helping establish tokens as a new asset class.
The document discusses modeling token economics and lessons learned from past smart contract failures. It provides examples of smart contract disasters like the DAO hack and Parity wallet bugs that exploited vulnerabilities. Best practices for smart contracts like code audits and verification tools are discussed. Criticisms of Bancor's token model from Emin Gün Sirer are summarized point-by-point. Examples of past token economic disasters like the Maidsafe ICO are provided as warnings. The importance of testing token economic designs is emphasized.
XWIN is a betting platform that uses smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain to provide a transparent and secure betting experience. Tokens will be used to access the platform and participate. Funds raised in the token sale will be used for development, legal costs, marketing, and operations. The project aims to solve problems with traditional betting by leveraging blockchain technology for guaranteed payments, transparency, and security of funds.

ICOs and Venture Financing: Understanding the Issues for a new Funding StrategyMark Radcliffe
Token offerings and ICOs have gained publicity as an alternative to venture financing. However, they are increasingly being used to supplement traditional venture financing for startups who have already taken investment from angels and traditional venture investors .This "hybrid structure" raises new issues for companies and investors, particularly relating to choice of the token issuer, size of the offering and control of the token issuer. This presentation was part of a panel presentation the Global Corporate Venture Capital Summit in Monterey on February 1, 2018.

BTCetc – ETC Group Physical Bitcoin (BTCE) PresentationPeter Wises
BTCetc – ETC Group Physical Bitcoin (BTCE) is a security that trades like an equity on regulated exchanges but represents a pre-defined unit of Bitcoin. It aims to reduce the complexity of buying, storing, and selling Bitcoin by allowing investors to benefit from the protections of trading a security on regulated markets while gaining exposure to Bitcoin. Each unit of BTCE is fully backed by Bitcoin stored with a regulated custodian.
Which Altcoin Can Make You Millionaire Now_.pdfYunusAdam1
As of mid-2022, there are approximately 20,000 cryptocurrencies on the market. The total accumulated crypto market cap has surpassed USD 2 trillion, and trading volumes can reach over $75 billion per day. Hundreds of millions of investors all across the globe are buying crypto-assets.
If you’re looking to buy altcoins to build a solid portfolio of digital assets as the world moves to a more digitized way of life, it can be difficult to find time to research the best altcoin projects, read whitepapers, and do technical analysis on altcoin charts. In this guide, you’ll see the list and review of what I consider the top altcoins to buy now.
Security tokens represent fractional ownership of real-world assets on the blockchain through smart contracts. Tokenotic is a platform that allows institutions to tokenize assets and manage the process of whitelisting, selling, and distributing security tokens in compliance with regulations. It provides a digital marketplace for investors to trade tokens in a transparent, secure, and disintermediated peer-to-peer manner. The platform aims to make investment opportunities more accessible and improve asset liquidity through blockchain technology.

PwC worked with Société Générale on the emission of a covered bond on the public blockchain Ethereum, which is open source. We will describe this project and introduce the concept of Security Token Offerings (STO) in order to emphasize the various related opportunities.
With unmet market demand in mind, we have decided to create ALQO ("A Liquid Object"). ALQO is a communitydriven,
open source and fully autonomous cryptocurrency that places a strong emphasis on the very building blocks required to
create a complete payment system: it is secure, anonymous, trustless, scarce and fungible with a very low-cost transaction profile. It
is designed to embody all that Bitcoin as well as more advanced cryptocurrencies have grown to become as well as to capture the
economic value that is thus far inhibited by the systemic constraints outlined above.
During its first year of operation, the ALQO network will rely on a Proof of Work consensus algorithm. As mentioned previously,
Proof of Work is the process by which miners, individuals who dedicate their computational resources to solve difficult mathematical
challenges, prove that they have done the necessary work required by the network to validate blocks, which are data containers for a
large list of new transactions. It is referred to as a consensus algorithm because a majority of overall mining processing power is
needed in order to enforce any new protocol update proposal.
Mining is the process by which individuals dedicate computational resources to solving difficult
mathematical problems. Upon solving the aforementioned, a new block is found on the blockchain and with it newly pending
transactions are confirmed and cleared through. This process is known as Proof of Work (or PoW) as it forces the miner to prove that
they have done the necessary work to verify the block, and the first miner to find a new block is compensated for their efforts. This
introduces an element of economic competition between miners and prevents the network from being attacked as attacks become
too costly and thus, economically unviable. Consider this process as rolling a die in a casino and needing to roll below a certain
number, and the first roller who rolls below said number wins the prize, except that the die does not have 6 facets, but rather an
extremely large number of them.
Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are a new way of raising funds for projects running on blockchain technology. Similar to the role venture capital (VC) plays in financing start-ups in traditional finance, ICOs are the future of venture investing in the blockchain world. Through ICOs, exponential returns can be earned in a very short period of time. When a decentralised application is created, the start-up behind it can sell the associated coin or token early in the process for an amount based on what it thinks it’s worth.
The document discusses tokenizing real estate assets using security tokens. It outlines the benefits of tokenization such as increased liquidity, fractional ownership, and portfolio diversification. It then provides an overview of the key components of setting up a real estate security token offering, including deal structuring, technology selection, the token creation process, and ongoing governance.

J. P. Morgan’s private blockchain platform Quorum will be used to tokenize gold bars to bring the gold bars straight from the gold mines into the hands of the consumer. Buyers will be able to track their gold bars throughout the mining and refining process to make sure that the gold bar is produced in an friendly way. This will give sustainable miners the opportunity to earn a premium on the global market while making sure that the end product is entirely unadulterated. This article explores the Quorum blockchain and evaluates various uses cases for the tokenization of gold bars.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

GOLD PRODUCTION FLOW ANALYSIS
We anticipate gold production of 1.2 Kg (43 oz’s) per month starting month 5 increasing to 4
Kg (142 oz’s) per month by Year 1.0 increasing to 16 Kg (570 oz’s) per month Year 1.5 with a
cumulative processed total of 128 Kg’s (4,590 oz’s).
Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79. In its
purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal.
Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive
chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions.
Gold is thought to have been produced in supernova nucleosynthesis, from
the collision of neutron stars, and to have been present in the dust from which the Solar
System formed. Because the Earth was molten when it was formed, almost all of the gold present
in the early Earth probably sank into the planetary core. Therefore, most of the gold that is in the
Earth's crust and mantle is thought to have been delivered to Earth later, by asteroid
impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment, about 4 billion years ago.
A total of 186,700 tonnes of gold exists above ground, as of 2015. The world consumption of new
gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry.

CRYPTO TERMINOLOGY INTRODUCTION
A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange, such as the US dollar, but is digital and uses
encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and to secure and verify the
transfer of transactions including funds. A cryptocurrency operates independently of any central
bank, mint, government or organization.. Bitcoin represents the first decentralized
cryptocurrency, which is powered by a public ledger that records and validates all transactions
chronologically, called the blockchain.
Cryptocurrencies radically change how we do banking by removing artificial barriers imposed by
legacy financial institutions allowing for:
*True peer-to-peer
payments any where
in the world.
*Minimal transaction
fees and processing
time compared to
traditional banking.
*Payments between
pseudonymous parties
ensuring financial
privacy.
*Non-reversible
transactions
preventing charge
backs.

BLOCKCHAIN – BITCOIN
Bitcoin is also a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system the name of the best-known
cryptocurrency, the one for which blockchain technology was invented. Bitcoin is the first
successful digital currency designed with trust in cryptography over central authorities. The
properties of Bitcoin vary but have core focus areas such as being permission-less, immutable,
censorship resistant, decentralized, scarce, and open source. These properties make Bitcoin ideal
money and beneficial to people worldwide
Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudonym) the
founder of Bitcoin who published the invention in October 31, 2008 to a cryptography mailing list
and released it as open-source software in 2009. The system is peer-to-peer; users can transact
directly without an intermediary verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed
block chain ledger. The definition of a Bitcoin is a “chain of digital signatures” that can be passed
from one person to another using an electronic signature (hash).
A blockchain, originally block chain, is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which
are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to
a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant
to modification of the data. Harvard Business Review defines it as "an open, distributed ledger that
can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.“

Alternative cryptocurrency coins are also called altcoins or simply “coins”. They’re often used
interchangeably. Altcoins simply refers to coins that are an alternative to Bitcoin. The majority of
altcoins are a variant (a change in the underlying programming protocol resulting in a “software fork” or
split of the original blockchain) of Bitcoin, built using Bitcoin’s open-sourced, original protocol with
changes to its underlying codes, therefore conceiving an entirely new coin with a different set of
features. There are other altcoins that aren’t derived from Bitcoin’s open-source protocol. Ethereum
has created their own blockchain and protocol that supports their native currency
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts; applications that run exactly as
programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. A
worldwide network of interconnected computers (nodes) that enforce, execute and validate
programs in a decentralized manner without requiring a server, memory, CPU power, or any other
computing function, as it is all provided by thousands of Ethereum nodes scattered across the
world. Ethereum is a global computer featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides
a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine that allows for the creation
of contracts and tokens. It provides a value token called "Ubiq (UBQ)" .
