Blockchain in digital marketing.

Blockchain is a technology that allows the transfer of data in a completely secure way thanks to very sophisticated encryption. It is often compared to a company’s ledger where all the inflows and outflows of money are recorded. Of course, in this case, we are talking about a digital ledger of events. The Blockchain contributes to a great novelty. And is that this transfer does not need an intermediary to check and approve the information, but it is distributed in several independent nodes that record and validate it. Thus, once the information is entered, it cannot be deleted, only new records can be added. Furthermore, it will not be legitimized unless the majority of them agree to do so. The latter is considered mission impossible. The Blockchain brings full confidence when making transactions. Goodbye to counterfeits. Products within the blockchain could be tracked from their manufacturer to their recipient. In this way, we could verify that what we buy is not a copy. This makes the brand stronger and would eliminate the consumer’s possible fear of buying something counterfeit. Until now, if a company proposed to do something, we could only trust their word or resort to a professional (either a lawyer, a notary, etc.) to ensure it was fulfilled. This changes with the Blockchain and its smart contracts, i.e., they are automatically honored once the parties have agreed to the terms. These cannot be destroyed. A piece of paper can be stolen, disappear, burned, etc. With Blockchain the “company promise” is accountable and public. I thought for a moment that we would have to rely on a single, universal card or key to use the Internet. A key that will replace all the previous ones we used for browsing, banking, social networks, and other personal data. If all this information were in a Blockchain network, it would put an end to the anonymity in social networks (the so-called trolls) and to all those who impersonate others to attack their competitors. This would increase user security. When purchasing a product online, we must trust that we will receive it without problems. However, we can end up being victims of scams without the possibility of taking action. Blockchain technology brings greater security to the online purchasing process through e-commerce. The reason is that it allows products to be tracked from manufacture to delivery. In other words, the user knows the entire production process, thus avoiding counterfeits. Blockchain is a technology that can revolutionize the Digital Marketing universe. Although it is not yet a rising trend, it helps to solve many problems in assignments in this area. So who’s to say it won’t be implemented shortly?

How to make and sell an NFT?

Opensea is the largest marketplace for digital goods such as collectibles, video game objects, digital art, and other types of assets that remain stored in the Ethereum blockchain. That is why below we will talk about some steps we must do to be able to publish and sell our NFTs through this marketplace. Create a wallet, First of all, having a wallet is a prerequisite to moving around Opensea and virtually any other decentralized marketplace.  Metamask is a pretty good alternative to have your tokens and NFTs because it is the most used one. How to sell in Opensea? If you want to try to join this wave, here’s how to sell on Opensea in 5 steps: Step 1: Make your gallery beautiful To produce a collection, click on Create – My Collections at the top right and the “Create” button. Enter a name for the collection, and a specification and upload a 350 x 350 image that works as a logo. Once we click on “Create”, a pop-up will appear mentioning that our collection was developed, so we click on “Add items”. Step 2: Have a file that you want to make NFT. It can be audio, a tweet, a song, a video, a photo, a painting, or a digital drawing. Just keep in mind that it has to be something you own, and with that, you click on “Add items” in our collection, we log in with our wallet again and start generating our first NFT. Apart from this, we see 3 more possibilities to add: Properties, Levels, and Stats. These are very useful if you create a collection and want to differentiate the properties they have from each other. Let’s imagine that we have a collection of characters for a video game and some have more levels than others or do more damage, that’s what the Stats are for: this section is often used if you are going to generate numerous variants of this NFT and you want the client to taste the total portion that is there. Here are some things to consider for your NFT: You must upload your file. Make sure it is no larger than 40 MB. You must fill out a certain form: o Title o Description o External link o Properties o Levels (for example, if it is a set or if there are several pieces) o Statistics o Unlockable content (can be files, links, or other information that can only be seen by buyers) o Specify if it is sensitive content Step 3: once you have everything ready, launch the first offer, which determines how many copies of the NFT can be made. It also allows you to freeze the metadata. In the end, click on create, and that’s it, you have your first token. Follow the rules that your wallet tells you. If you do not have ETH in the wallet at the time of listing, read Step 4. Step 4: (optional): Buy Ethereum (ETH) You can search the internet for any dealer to get ETH to market. If you are using Metamask, you can click on Buy and with a card and a small commission, you can trade ETH. Step 5: Once you create your token, you will get an option to sell it, you can choose if you are going to sell the work at a fixed price, to the highest bidder, or together with other works. You will also be able to choose in which cryptocurrency you want to get paid. Now, think about that absolutely every transaction you make on the blockchain generates an expense, and this depends a lot on the size of your file and the data you have filled in this section. Now you have to take into account certain expenses that are going to occur and why it was important to fund the wallet. o The commission for OpenSea o The wallet platform fee for the blockchain of the cryptocurrency to be used (Only at the beginning, for your next sales it will not be necessary). o Commission people who refer potential customers to your art. We hope this information can help all those artists who are looking to start selling their artwork through this medium.

Acceptance of cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies are increasingly increasing their popularity and value, which makes them considered the next step in the world economy, for which some nations consider them a threat to their economy since they could devalue their currency and as a means to this, they seek to prohibit the use of these currencies. On the other hand, other countries agree and seek to adopt these cryptocurrencies to encourage their economy and not to be left behind in this new era. One of the factors that encouraged this to happen more quickly was the coronavirus pandemic, which even though it seriously affected the world economy, in the cryptocurrency space there were many opportunities and a resurgence in decentralized finance since it has become an important trend, increasing and surpassing its values historically. This has caused companies such as Paypal and countries such as El Salvador to adopt cryptocurrencies as part of a key strategy for the reactivation of their economies. Acceptance of cryptocurrencies These are the main countries that have already adopted cryptocurrencies in their economy, according to the Global Consumer Survey conducted by Statista: 32% Nigeria 20% Filipinas 16% Turquía 16% Perú 14% Argentina 11% Suecia 7% China 6% Estados Unidos 5% Alemania 4% Japón However, in Latin America countries such as Colombia, Chile and Mexico are already adopting virtual currencies but remain at low levels compared to the main countries.

Are NFTs the same as bitcoin?

At the outset, the main difference we can highlight is that cryptocurrencies are fungible and NFTs are not fungible, which means that NFTs cannot be replaced by others. NFTs are unique digital assets backed and verified on the blockchain, while cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital currencies with transactions recorded on the blockchain. The most common and important cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, which has been the first widely adopted digital currency originated that did not depend on a central regime. Bitcoin is constantly comparable to gold, as investors see it as a “hedge against inflation”. The cost of gold furthermore stems from what is in essence a social creation: like Bitcoin, gold has a cost as we all agree that it does. The supply of Bitcoin is set at 21 million, which means that, unlike the dollar, there can never be much more than 21 million Bitcoins. This reduced supply causes Bitcoin to be incredibly small. Despite this Bitcoin is still a new technology and asset class, certain investors argue that this volatility is expected and generally invest with a long-term view. As the most funded decentralized currency that operates without the backing of a regime, it gives Bitcoin impressive utility. This increases its use in addition that smart contract functionalities now can encode on the Bitcoin network. The dispute over gold and Bitcoin predominates as an illustrative exemplification of the primary differences between NFTs and cryptocurrency. NFTs are the opposite: NFT stands for “non-fungible token,” which implies that each NFT cannot be modified, supplanted, exchanged, or swapped into smaller pieces, so its value is an integer and unique. Do NFTs have cryptocurrencies? NFTs are mainly purchased with cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum since this network is where these assets were born. This is a common way for NFT projects to raise additional capital while giving investors a way to indirectly invest in NFTs. Some NFT collections, such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, have made their cryptocurrency called APE coin. Are NFTs better than cryptocurrencies? There isn’t a characteristic of one or the other to compare them in this way, as in the end they are both decentralized digital assets that sit on a blockchain network. So there is no reason to invest in NFTs before cryptocurrencies because they are not comparable. Investors constantly consider the two to be different asset classes because they have different purposes. Do you need cryptocurrencies to buy NFT? The simplest way to mine an NFT is to generate your cryptocurrency wallet. By using this Ethereum or Solana and logging into an NFT platform such as OpenSea or Rarible we can get our hands on NFTs.

How mining has affected component prices

Cryptocurrency mining is the process in which miners use computing power (hashing) to process transactions and obtain rewards, in this case, cryptocurrencies. In other words, it is the process of recording blockchain transactions to obtain a cryptocurrency. However, to achieve this, a powerful computer is needed to be able to process large amounts of data, miners acquire high-end GPUs (graphic cards) and CPUs (Central Processor) to start mining. Due to the constant increase in the value of cryptocurrencies many companies and organizations have opted to start mining which has caused the prices of graphics cards to double and many of them even run out of stock. An example of this was the new RTX 3000 series GPU that was introduced in November 2020 which in just one month was no longer available. However, the price of the components has dropped in recent months due to the Chinese government banning bitcoin mining which caused mining groups such as HashCow or BTC.TOP suspended its operations in China which caused the fall of bitcoin which in turn lowered the demand for components for this activity. Let’s remember that China is responsible for 65% of bitcoin production worldwide. Experts in the field believe that this is temporary since companies are considering moving to other countries to continue their mining activity and in turn, the value of bitcoin has started to rise again as well as other cryptocurrencies, which could cause the prices of components to increase again and its stock to decrease making it more difficult to obtain. Thus affecting other sectors that need this technology.

Could cryptocurrencies and blockchain replace banking and finance?

Cryptocurrencies can easily replace fiat money in all its uses such as deposits, exchanges, and units of account, just as decentralized blockchain-based systems can replace banking with faster transactions with higher levels of security and lower fees. However, this will not entirely happen as these will not stand aside as cryptocurrencies and blockchain replace them. Currently, world powers have considered launching a digital version of their currency to prevent bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from gaining too much momentum. Although this is something that is still being well regulated, central bank digital currencies would have to provide most of the same benefits of cryptocurrencies to stop competition coming from DeFi systems. This is probably why central banks should let commercial banks fend for themselves, which will allow transactions with lower fees and fewer intermediaries. The reality is that as the public becomes more informed about cryptocurrencies and decentralization, the more they see the benefits these have on the future of finance and the internet. Another alternative to avoid being replaced would be to ban cryptocurrencies altogether, although many believe this is unlikely to happen as large companies are considering adapting to these digital currencies.

What does it mean to buy an NFT?

NFTs have been known as a public registry of authenticity and ownership for digital assets, which is realized through blockchain technology. A token is the digital representation of a financial asset, i.e. an asset that can be traded on the market. This token is registered on the blockchain and thereby becomes a type of contract that gives ownership to the person who owns or exchanges this token. So NFTs are digital assets protected by cryptography and exist only in a digital registry. Now, we can better understand what an NFT is: a contract that guarantees the ownership and authenticity of a digital asset within a network of public registries. NFTs because of their exclusivity have a value that has involved multi-million dollar sales and has been a way to generate thousands of dollars. These assets have promised a revolution in virtual transactions. Finally, with this concept, we can say that buying an NFT means that we are buying an asset that is a digital asset and that is unique, so we will not find another one like it anywhere. After buying it, where does it go? The best way to store an NFT is through a wallet, one of the most popular ones known is metamask. This wallet connects to platforms such as OpenSea and there we can visualize our NFT. So, in summary, we can enter the project website or we can go to OpenSea, and there we buy the NFT, it is registered in a blockchain and there it stays, what changes are the people who own it? Then we buy it and it is stored in our wallet of preference or that is compatible with the blockchain network in which the NFT is located, finally, to see it we connect our wallet to a platform such as OpenSea and we can visualize it. We hope this information can help you feel more confident about what happens when we buy an NFT and the profits we can get through them.

The history of Dogecoin

Since the emergence of bitcoin, more and more currencies have been emerging, including dogecoin, which, like the others, can be bought and sold as an investment and spent as money. But what is the origin of this peculiar cryptocurrency? It all starts in 2013 when bitcoin had a bad reputation for being associated with the Dark web, it was then when a programmer and former IBM engineer had the great idea of creating a currency that was fun and attracted attention, it should be clarified that this began as a joke. Surfing the internet Makus came across the domain dogecoin.com which belonged to Jackson Palmer, a data engineer working at Adobe, this fits perfectly with his idea since the name came from a popular “meme” of that year which was based on an image of a Shiba Inu dog to which a funny phrase was added. This is how Markos contacted Palmer and they started to develop the cryptocurrency called Dogecoin. It is important to mention that dogecoin is not a coin developed from scratch since it is based on the Litecoin coin which in turn is a copy of bitcoin with the difference that these coins work with the Scrypt algorithm and not the SHA-256 algorithm as bitcoin does. In turn, dogecoin maintains the PoW consensus, but the blocks are generated every minute and the maximum is eliminated, i.e. the issuance of coins is infinite. However, it was not until recent years that this cryptocurrency began to become so popular, part of this was due to the support received from celebrities such as the founder of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk who through his Twitter account tweeted about this cryptocurrency which caused its value to increase by 30%, thus capturing the interest of several people. Although recently the CEO’s disagreements with the crypto industry led to doge a 50% drop after achieving its all-time high of 0.73 USD. Despite this investors are still confident that dogecoin will achieve a dollar value sooner or later. While the fate of a cryptocurrency is uncertain, its current value will likely increase over the years. We hope you are interested in this origin that is already part of the history of cryptocurrencies, as always we remind you that this is not a financial recommendation, we have to make our analysis and not invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

What is Storydoing?

Storydoing is the advertising technique that tells a brand’s values, mission, vision, and spirit and that, unlike storytelling, seeks something beyond telling a story. What we want to achieve with story doing is that users get involved and have an experience with the brand or project. Therefore, the customer and user become the main character of the story. For this to be effective, there must be a good assignment between what we want to tell, with the reactions that this will generate and that at the end of this we can achieve something, which in this case is to publicize our product or brand. So with this, we have to think about What we are going to tell The reactions that we want to generate with what we are going to transmit to our users look for them to want to go deeper into the story and finally What do we want people to transmit directly and clearly, also thinking about how this action will be measured? By achieving all this we can get consumers to live their experience with the brand, thus showing a real interest in the customer experience with your product, thus achieving a better identification and satisfaction with them. Starting to implement this practice is something that companies have to start taking into account because people today are not just looking for just watching things, but they want to participate, live a different experience, feel part of the idea, and by feeling part of all this, consumers themselves will promote and defend the brand or product, they become the best allies. Why is it important to taste this with crypto? There are currently thousands of projects out there, both cryptocurrencies and NFTs. That is why we have to find ways to stand out, throughout our posts we have mentioned that it is important that our project or collection has an extra, like a mission or something you want to achieve. To do this we can apply story doing, as it will be the tactic that will help us to share that mission but to turn it into the mission of all the people who come to our collection or project, making them a fundamental part of it. In The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to support you to create and share your project or collection and help you find the mission we want to convey and do it more completely with story doing.

6 Fastest growing cryptocurrencies in 2022

Although the cryptocurrency market had a big collapse a few months ago and many projects ended up disappearing, it was not an impediment for new ones to be born. Therefore, below we will comment on some of the coins that we consider to have had good growth: Tamadoge (TAMA): This is one of the most novel and interesting projects. Everything revolves around its TAMA token and its roadmap is completely focused on the development of the Metaverse, NFTs and ARs. TAMA will have a use in its platform to grant rewards to Tamaverse participants. This token is on Ethereum’s ERC-20 network and is characterized by its deflationary nature. One feature is that for every transaction in the Tamadoge store it will burn 5%. Battle Infinity (IBAT): This project has gained the attention of investors because of the P2E features that make it easy for users to generate interesting profits. The BEP-20 token native to the Battle Infinity ecosystem, IBAT is what will be used for all transactions within the system and this can be achieved in different ways such as staking or NFT trading, the most prominent way being its unique blockchain-based fantasy sports league in which we can get different rewards. Battle Infinity has all the looks of being one of the most successful metaverse currencies. And yet another feature is that IBAT holders can also acquire virtual land parcels, which has become a popular investment in the crypto world. Lucky Block (LBLOCK): Given its novel and unique proposition with its crypto gaming platform, its price increased by more than 3,000% in assignment to the pre-sale price, which determined that LBLOCK achieves a market capitalization of more than $750 million. LBLOCK carries out different sweepstakes in which anyone can participate for only 5 dls, and its attraction is that the more people participate, the better the prizes. In addition, people who have LBLOCK in their wallets and are connected to the platform get a free ticket daily. Another feature if you have your wallet connected to the platform is that you receive passive income at the end of each draw. DeFi Coin (DEFC): This token supports multiple possibilities for use in financial services, performance farming, cryptocurrency staking, token exchange, and more, making it a very attractive asset for investors. DEFC incorporates a “static reward” mechanism based on a 10% tax on token transactions, of which 50% is shared among individuals who own one and the remainder is placed in Defi Swap liquidity funds. Cardano (ADA): It is known as the “Internet of blockchains” and is of the most scalable, interoperable, and sustainable currencies of the main networks operating today. When it came out it had a very large increase reaching 3 dls, then it has fallen but the important thing is how it has remained very stable and in the face of the great fall it was able to maintain itself. Cardano uses a ‘Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that drastically reduces energy expenditure when creating new blocks, which differentiates it from Bitcoin and Ethereum. This gives it an advantage because it makes it the most appreciated by the crypto community and investors. Ripple (XRP): RippleNet is the decentralized payment mechanism that facilitates fast and reduced-cost transactions between different currencies through the use of its Ripple token. By making use of this system RippleNet has become a de facto upgrade replacing the already very inefficient SWIFT network that accumulates delays of up to five business days in payment processing. Cryptocurrencies, despite the obstacles that have been put in their way, always find a way to have a step and innovate, these are the cryptocurrencies that we see as something special and that is why we place them on this list. However, as always we remind you that this is not an investment suggestion and it is up to each person to make their analysis and never invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

What NFTs are used for

NFTs are digital assets that gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic years becoming worth thousands and thousands of dollars. Currently, the market has stabilized more and we no longer see both madness as before, even part of this is due to the fall that cryptocurrencies had almost nothing. These assets can be found in OpenSea which is the main platform where people usually keep their assets. But what are their uses? The uses of NFTs vary quite a lot and they do not only work as digital art, which is what is usually believed, here are some of them Music: We have heard of several bands and musical groups that are exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs. Certifications and licenses: Every day the way is being paved so that we can have our NFT IDs, digitally carrying them and with real validity. Sports: Currently some teams have decided to try selling tickets as NFT, such is the case of the PSG team that has sold tickets for their tour in Japan. Properties and real estate: With the advent of the metaverse and digital properties such as land or smaller assets, eliminating intermediaries in the purchase and sale of real estate. What is the purpose of NFTs? Unlike cryptocurrencies or bitcoin, NFTs are unique tokens, of which there is only one and there will never be another one like it for anything in the world. They are transferable but we can not split them into decimals, for example, if I have 1 bitcoin, I can sell 0.005 part of it and keep the rest, but the NFT is not like that if I have an NFT of something and I want to sell it I can only sell the whole unit and not just a part of it. So in a very simple way, NFTs serves as a certificate that validates that a person owns something which guarantees its authenticity and uniqueness. Why do people buy them? The main reason why people buy NFTs is because of their value, as this always tends to go up, this is because they are unique so if a person wants it they have no choice but to buy it at the price you set. Another reason why people buy them is somehow for a sense of belonging since the most popular NFT collections have communities, so having an NFT makes you part of it. This feature became very popular with the Bored Ape Yacht Club, which was an exclusive club where only people who had their NFT could have access to exclusive content. This stuck and there are now many collections that offer exclusive products and even shares within the collection. How can I earn money with NFTs? The easiest way to earn money is through speculation, you find a collection that you like, you see what they offer you to own the NFT and buy it, what you have left is to wait until the public sale is over and there is a sold out, from this moment is when the offers begin and nothing more is to wait for you to get one that interests you. This sale can be done directly through a wallet transfer or platforms such as OpenSea. Another way to earn money is by the benefits that the collection gives you, for example, there are some that for each collection they sell they give you a part you just for owning one of their NFT, or there are other collections that for having their daily NFT they deposit you the project’s currency which always has a value. In the end, the main way to earn money is by buying an NFT and selling it later at a higher price, although you always have to be careful because this is not necessarily going to happen. In The Blue manakin, we always recommend that you make a good analysis before investing money and as always that this is one that you can afford to lose without affecting you.

What is cryptography?

Information protection is one of the most important issues within a company. A security breach could compromise all the sensitive information that the company may have, so the necessary security measures must be taken so that no confidential information is lost. Cryptography is a set of techniques used to protect information so that only authorized persons can access it. The word cryptography derives from Greek in which crypto is hidden and graphic is writing. In short, we can say that it means hidden writing. Cryptographic techniques transform data into codes, preventing unauthorized persons from reading them. Only those who have the “key” to the file can read the information. The following are some of how cryptographic security works: SSL (simple encryption): This is the recommended security measure for websites, especially for those that request the sending of private customer information, such as personal data or bank details. This method validates the URL address of the site’s domain and protects the information. VPN: A virtual private network (VPN) is a type of private connection that uses a public network to access your company’s data. It contains connection encryption that prevents data interception and IP tracking. This is the most secure way to access company data on a public network. Email encryption: This type of cryptography allows the encryption of email signatures, guaranteeing the verification of the origin of emails sent and received. This type of protection is suitable for companies that need to guarantee secrecy in legal matters, where emails cannot be used as evidence. Symmetric key: The key is used by both the sender and the receiver, i.e. the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data. The use of this method is not recommended for storing very important and confidential information. Asymmetric key: This method uses two keys: one private and one public. An encryption key is created and sent to whoever needs to send information (this is the public key). A key must be created for decryption (this is the private key). The secret private key must be sent only to the one who authorizes decoding the data. We hope you found this blog interesting as it is important to understand what cryptography is and how this type of security has given a basis to how cryptocurrencies were expected to work.

Instagram is one of the main social networks that you should manage and have active for your NFT collections. That is why below we will bring you some strategies that you should follow to have an active and successful account on this social network: Create a more personalized space: Unlike Twitter on Instagram, we can share more visual and personal content since through images and stories we can share more about topics such as project development and even fill our posts and stories in the style of the coin or collection. Post about the team: Take advantage of the network space to give more visibility to the team in charge of the project and its founders, this helps to raise trust with the collection or crypto project.

This we can mark it with an objective that aims beyond generating money, so if your collection or project comes backed by a cause, it is here on Instagram where you can take advantage of all the audiovisual content that you can use to share it. Take advantage of Lives: One of the best tools Instagram has is its live videos, as they are very easy to use and we can make them at any time. Take advantage of this tool to make sessions to answer live questions about the project, or use them to share something about the development of the project. Use hashtags strategically: It is important to be aware of what are the most popular hashtags on the day, we tend to believe that putting several is enough for our publication to appear in many places, but it is best to be aware every day about what is being talked about the most and use it to our advantage. Look for experts: Marketing agencies for crypto and NFT projects are always updated on the best strategies to use on social networks and Instagram is no exception so if you want to highlight your collection on the platform this is one of the best ways.

What are non fungible tokens (NFTs)?

NFTs are an asset that cannot be imitated, in the digital world that is compared to selling any other type of asset or property, but in an intangible form (soft technologies). These tokens can be seen as certificates of ownership of virtual or physical assets. How do they work? With NFTs, different digital files can be tokenized to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. As with cryptocurrencies, a record of who owns what is stored on the shared ledger such as the blockchain. The records cannot be falsified because this “ledger” is securely maintained by thousands of computers around the world NFTs can also contain Smart contracts that could provide the artist with, for example, a share of a future sale of the token. In many cases, artists retain the copyright to sell copies of those works and thus continue to sell. But for a buyer of an NFT who holds the token, it proves that he is the original owner of the work. Some people compare it to buying a copy signed by the author. In theory, anyone can tokenize their work to sell it as an NFT, but interest has grown following reports of multimillion-dollar sales. In this way, everyone can give “value” to NFTs simply because they believe it is valuable, which is why there are multimillion-dollar sales. In addition, they have the following characteristics: Strangely unique Non-interoperable Indivisible Indestructible Absolute property Verifiable Understanding the basics of NFTs is one of the first things we must do to learn more and more about them.

How to find new Crypto Projects | Blue Manakin

We know that there are currently thousands of cryptocurrencies and that more and more are appearing. Normally new coins can be found in their first phase in the form of ICOs, which is the process in which the creators can somehow raise funds to develop the rest of the project. This is basically when the first investors come to the project. NFTs can also be found when they are still in pre-sale or on a whitelist. The advantage of being able to find these projects during these stages is that we can find them at much cheaper prices than they will be in the final sale. So we will share some ways to be able to find these projects before their public sale: Content creators: It is important to follow the creators of the topics that we like or that we are usually aware of, that is why if we want to find projects that are just about to come out, we have to follow the people who are dedicated to talking about it. Usually, new projects hire people to do promotions for them which still adds confidence to the project. Calendars: We can find on the web different pages that are dedicated to calendarizing the releases of new coins and NFT collections. In them, apart from seeing the release date, we can also find information about the project. Spooling platforms: Several platforms are dedicated to finding new collections and ICOS and creating lists, as for the NFT others can even give a rarity to your NFT depending on their characteristics. Telegram groups and Discord servers: On these platforms, we can be part of communities that are always on the lookout for these new exits and opportunities so by being part of them we can equally find these opportunities before they come out or when they are in their early stages. Crypto marketing agencies: Serious projects usually have a team or agency that is dedicated to their marketing, so following the agency is an opportunity to learn about new projects that are about to come out. In The Blue Manakin, we always have projects which always have a mission or art that we like, so if you always want to find projects that are coming out and are of quality follow us, so you do not miss them.

Blockchains are information networks in which all the transactions that have been made are displayed, but as everything has certain rules you have to taste how to optimize them in the best way. Although Bitcoin is already a very popular currency, it will serve as an example due to its high popularity. One of the first things to keep in mind is that each block of the chain is attached to a text document, for example in Windows Notepad. All transactions that have been made are written there, but keep in mind that the file cannot weigh more than 1 megabyte, so each text document will have a limited number of operations (between 2000 and 2200 transactions). Bitcoin also has the rule that to create a new block, at least 10 minutes must have passed from the previous block, so there is a limited number of blocks per day (144 blocks to be exact), so with a block of 2200 transactions every 10 minutes, we have an approximate of 4 transactions per second, which would be a lot if a person were put to review them, so it is much easier to do it on high-powered computers. Once the whole process is done, a hash is generated from the following parameters which are, the hash of the previous block, the date and time of the block creation, the reward transaction for the miner who has made the block, and all the transactions that are inside the text document up to 1 megabyte and a number at the end of the hash that allows you to start with the number of zeros that the platform is asking for. To avoid any type of fraud, for every 2016 block that is added to the chain the hash will change, so it is practically impossible to falsify a hash by putting random information since there would be an infinite number of possibilities.

8 Tips to grow a crypto community

Having a large and active community is one of the most important things to having a cryptocurrency or NFT project because this can be a good sign of a prosperous future in the project which can bring more investors or people who are going to buy our collection. In marketing, it is said that one of the best techniques to promote something is through the mouth of the people, if people speak well of your project that will attract more people because there is something good there. That’s why we bring you some tips so you can make your community bigger: Create a space where your community can live together: One of the first steps we must do is to have a space where we can receive people who will be part of our community, these spaces are usually different depending on what your project is focused on. If it is an NFT project the best is to create a Discord server, here you can create different types of channels to entertain your community and keep it informed about the project. In the case of cryptocurrencies, it is best to have a telegram group, as these are usually more serious so the means of communication must change and the telegram is the space that best suits this. Social networks: Now that we already have a space where our community can stay, the next thing is to have our social networks always active, sharing information about our project and its status. In the same way, if we have an NFT collection it is best to have some networks so to speak, more colorful and cheerful, we can adopt the identity of our project and by that means share it. With a cryptocurrency project, it is best to keep the social networks a little more serious, in which we can share project updates, some important data as “facts” about the problems we seek to solve, and something important is that social networks are like a space that we can use as a customer service. We must not forget to try that in most posts we make, we leave links to our server or group. Use your mission to create a story: The reality is that there are already thousands and thousands of NFT collections and cryptocurrency projects, so it is important to find a way in which our project can thrive. We have to find a problem that we want to solve and with that base, we can develop the best way to share it through a story, an image, and above all a community. The people who join the community will not do it just to make money, but for what it means to be in your project and not just to be there but to be part of it. This will get them to share the project as if it were their own. Moderators: There must be always a person who knows the project active in the group or server, and also helps to maintain order within it, For this, we will use the moderators who will be the people who will be on the server while the creators are not there and what they will do is keep the conversation alive on the server, when someone asks a question also solve it and when people arrive to put disorder they maintain it. Reward your community: There are thousands of dynamics that we can do in our groups to be able to give things to our community and see a way that the creators have to thank them. This can be done through airdrops or by giving away a space for the WL or even an NFT. We can also take advantage of it for our social networks and that way grow the community even more. Make special events: You can make different events for your community, such as a space to share ideas with your followers, and make games inside your server to have a fun time but the important thing is to generate a connection with the community. Collaborations with other communities: Something we always like to mention is that in the end, it doesn’t matter what your cryptocurrency collection or project is about, in the end, we are all looking for the same thing which is to achieve a decentralized financial society. Look for communities that are open to collaboration so together you can grow your communities with more people looking for the same thing and thinking alike. Get experts: Our biggest recommendation is to find people who know how to move through this medium well. A crypto project marketing agency is one of the best ways to grow our community since a good agency already has its moderators and can manage your social networks and make the copies that best suit your project. At The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to help you grow your community, contact us for a quote. We have network moderation and both Discord and Telegram servers and we adjust to what your project needs.

Where cryptocurrencies come from

Cryptocurrencies are a digital asset that uses cryptographic encryption to guarantee their ownership and ensure the integrity of transactions. But where do cryptocurrencies come from or what is their origin? It all begins in 2008 when the United States was going through a financial crisis that caused the devaluation of the dollar, which in turn affected the rest of the world. Due to the low value of the currency and the cut in interest rates, central banks manipulated and devalued currencies around the world. Eventually, with low-interest rates and taxpayer bailouts, the banks responsible for the financial problems were the ones who benefited from the “collapse”, this was the trigger for a man known as Satoshi Nakamoto whose identity remains unknown to this day to decide that there was a need to invest with a disruptive force, with something that could change the way we think about money. In 2008 he first published his paper on Bitcoin technology detailing the peer-to-peer system that runs Bitcoin transactions and months later provided the software to perform these transactions. Bitcoin would thus be the first completely decentralized currency open to all, without a central bank controlling it. This means that we are all part of the Bitcoin economy, instead of a bank defining how much it is worth and how much of it we have available in our economy. However this was not simple since it was necessary to have a global ledger of transactions in which transaction information is stored, normally a bank would be responsible for performing this procedure but being a decentralized system there is no associated bank this allows anyone to send a transaction request to the decentralized network and this makes the decentralized ledger very vulnerable to attacks. This was the main impediment to the creation of a functional cryptocurrency. So Satoshi needed to innovate and create the technology we now call “Blockchain“, which allows keeping the ledger secure using timestamps, a lot of decentralized computational processing power, and cryptography. Because of this, we can say that Bitcoin (BTC) is the origin and maximum representative of cryptocurrencies, which went from having a practically worthless value has achieved figures never imagined.
