Blockchain for babies

Chris Ferrie, a faculty member at the University of Sydney’s 2019 Quantum Software Centre, has written a book to explain from an early age to an infant how blockchain works. Titled Blockchain for Babies, the curious idea became a reality. The book has 12 pages and can be found in hardcover and paperback format. The book uses fairly simple language to be able to describe the necessary details a little person needs to taste about blockchain technology. Ferrie said: “The intention is not for the child to come out of the book and run an ICO.” But this book comes to be part of several books which are made to explain complex topics to young children that likewise have been written by Ferrie, within these books we can find: Quantum Physics for Babies,  General Relativity for Babies,  Rocket Science for Babies y  Newtonian Physics for Babies. Ben Munster, the writer of Decrypt, described his vision of the book, from the position of an adult rather than a newborn. Munster said: “It starts with the image of a ball, which I get. then it says the ball can be bought for a coin, which I also get. then it says the coin is now “invisible,” which I understand to mean it’s on the blockchain, but I only understand it because I write about this stuff every day, unlike most babies. then it explains how the blocks of transactions fit together like jigsaw puzzles, with fraudulent transactions that can’t fit together, which is a nice idea.” The reality is that while this book is for “babies”, it is useful for people who are not in this world to understand how blockchain technology works in a way that is too simple you could apply the saying “I’ll explain it to you with apples” only in this case it is with puzzles. While this can be taken as a joke, any kind of education for this world is welcome and if a book that explains it simply can be the first step for people who want to get into this space, it is quite good for us.

Valuación NFT

Valuation of NFT’s

As we taste, in the crypto world there are two types of tokens: fungible and non-fungible. Fungibles are those that function as money, a peso is always a peso invariably from the conditions of the coin. A peso coin can be replaced by any other peso coin. On the other hand, non-fungible tokens are unique and cannot be replaced by any other token. NFT’s can be used to represent unique digital assets, and are interesting because their uniqueness and ownership can be verified, they can be used in different applications, and they can also be easily exchanged in various markets. Depending on the asset the NFT represents, its value comprises four different components: utility, ownership history, future value, and liquidity. These components can be used by investors to assess whether the NFT is worth investing in, and by creators of NFTs to attract users and investors. The key is that NFTs create many new ways for value creation for creators and asset owners. Below, we break down the four components and discuss what gives value to each: UTILITY: Utility value depends on how the NFT can be used. Two major categories that have high utility value are gaming assets and tickets. For example, a rare and valuable Crypto Space Commander warship sold for $45,250 in 2019, and the value of an NFT ticket is the price of that same ticket. Another dimension of this same utility is being able to use this NFT in an application other than the one in which it was purchased. If you could use that same warship in another game, the value would go up exponentially. OWNERSHIP HISTORY: The value, in this case, depends on the identity of the seller and the previous owners of the NFT. NFT’S with the highest ownership history value is usually created by famous artists or companies with a large presence. Based on this, we can realize that there are two ways to give more value to our NFT: the first is to cooperate with influential companies or individuals to promote these tokens, and the second is to sell NFT’S that have been previously owned by equally influential people. FUTURE VALUE: The future value of an NFT is derived from speculative valuation changes and future cash flow. Valuation is driven by speculation and can often be the key to high value. One could argue that speculation is bad for NFT’S, but it is human nature and a fundamental part of the current financial system. LIQUIDITY: Higher liquidity means higher NFT value. Liquidity is the main reason why tokens created on-chain have a higher value than those not.

Where to find NFT influencers to hire?

Every NFT collection needs a diffusion by all possible means, so we must find the ideal people for this. This diffusion can be carried out by people or pages specialized in the NFT world, which know and more importantly the communities that can make our collection a success. The disadvantages come in that sometimes it can be complicated to communicate with them or to find someone that serves us according to their community and the interactions they achieve in their publications. Below we will discuss some of the ways to hire influencers that are useful for our NFT collections: Look at their networks: One of the best ways is to review all the social networks they have available, so we can review all the content they upload, from the type of post they make to how many people react to them. Normally in their networks, they will have some mail for promotions or the platform will have some kind of method to contact them. They have a Manager: Many times NFTs influencers have a manager that helps them review all the possible collaborations that they will do. So we can reach them through him, we will explain in the best and most appealing way to their manager and if he is interested he will pass it on to his client or someone else he thinks would be better for the project. That he is interested in our project: In the end, the NFT influencers are just as many collectors, so having a flashy project, well organized and with a solid mission is very possible that even the influencer will be well into our project and give it a constant promotion. NFT platforms: On the internet and discord, we can find many NFT ranking platforms, these can even serve us as influencers since many people who are looking for new collections often come to these places to find collections. Normally discord usually has packages that include a shootout for everyone to see your project. Through a marketing company: In most cases, influencers are usually affiliated with a marketing agency. So if you want a sure way to find the ideal influencers for your project and they are already included in your budget, this is one of the best ways to get them. In The Blue Manakin, we have at our disposal a list of influencers who are specialized in the world of NFT collections and who are even collectors themselves, plus we support you to manage your networks and attract people to your project.

dApps

What are dApps

dApps are a type of application that is based on a decentralized network because the nodes that interact with the application are used as several servers instead of a central one. DApps is the acronym for Decentralized Applications. Decentralized networks work with a network of computers in which users have full control over the operation of the network. DApps allow people to access different services securely without worrying about being tracked in any way. These applications can use as nodes computers, and smartphones, or can even be accessible from the web. To taste what a dApp looks like, we must think of an ordinary application, in this category we have applications such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and even Instagram. In all these services there is a network of central servers. This allows companies to decide what can be seen or not in these applications according to them to give it more “security” by taking neutrality. The dApp concept is nothing new because there have been several over time, but the most popular applications have been BitTorrent and DC++, both with peer-to-peer systems to share files without worrying about censorship because there is no way to track the server. However, the quintessential dApp that describes exactly how they work on a blockchain is Bitcoin because how its users and structure assign perfectly describes the function of dApps. But with the arrival of Ethereum in 2014, the Solidity language and the ability to create Smart Contracts made dApps massive, so thanks to these 3 things dApps started to become popular in the blockchain, allowing new ways of interaction between users, the real and virtual world. The dApps and traditional Apps have many elements in common, however, the difference lies in how they interact with those elements. Both types of applications have three basic structures: the frontend, the backend, and the data storage layer.

The use of NFTs

NFTs have become very popular over the last few years, we all know the story of someone who made the investment and had great returns, or we have all wanted to be part of BAYC. But it is clear that the first thing we assign to NFTs is art, and it is a reality that although there are some very cool art design collections, it is not all about NFTs. NFTs go far beyond being art collections with financial and exclusive benefits, so now we’ll share what else NFTs can be used for other than being a unique art collection. Music: We have heard of several bands and music groups exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs. Certifications and licensing: Every day the way is being paved for us to be able to have our NFT IDs, carrying them in a digital form 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 its tour in Japan.

England will allow sending legal documents via NFT

The High Court of England and Wales has granted Fabrizio D’Aloia, founder of the Italian online gambling company Microgame, to file a claim through his lawyers Giambrone & Partners LPP to anonymous persons through an NFT drop to their wallets. This move will allow Mr. D’Aloia to serve legal documents to these unknown users through their wallets. This news is quite significant for the crypto world, as it leaves a precedent in which it will be possible to have one more defense against scams and hacks that are often done through wallet addresses. “This is very important because it shows the court’s willingness to adapt to new technologies and embrace blockchain and, in fact, step in to help consumers where previous legislation and regulators simply could not,” Joanna Bailey, an attorney at Giambrone & Partners LPP who worked on the case, told CoinDesk. D’Aloia said he was duped by an online broker into depositing around USDT2.1 million and USDC230,000 in wallets that turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to the England court D’Aloia is allowed to sue the responsible persons by sending the court documents through an NFT to the wallets. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future with this lawsuit, because if it comes out well we may see new regulations in the crypto and NFT world. In The Blue Manakin, we want to remind you that although the crypto world is the future of finance, we can still encounter many scams with which we can lose our money, so it is important that before sending money do your best to verify the veracity and that with the slightest doubt you have a stop to think a little bit. Also, remember that we should never invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

How to promote Crypto

Today there are thousands and thousands of cryptocurrencies, so the real differentiator that can exist from one project to another is undoubtedly apart from what it is focused on or the reason why the currency has been created, is its marketing campaign. As we have mentioned in other entries of this blog, we must have marketing specialists who know well the medium of cryptocurrencies in the most popular social networks Sometimes tactics change from project to project, and especially if we are talking about an NFT collection or even an ICO, now we will share some general ways in which we can promote our cryptocurrency on social networks that should be used. The networks and platforms for cryptocurrency promotion are: Twitter:   Twitter will be one of the main means by which you will share everything relevant to your project, here you can share important data and tell what the project is about. Unlike NFTs, the language we should use is a little more serious, since investments in cryptocurrencies are so. For cryptocurrencies, promoters can still be used, but if you have to be more careful since there are usually fewer and since we cannot find so many, we have to select the best ones. Verifying that their engagement is good and not very different from the numbers of followers they have, normally with them you can handle airdrops, Rt, QT, and different tracking dynamics. Twitter ads also work to attract more people, but it is better to first share them through promoters. Instagram: Instagram is still the space where we can have a more personal twist on the project, here we can focus on sharing the mission for which the coin exists through different publications. In the stories, we can share the same as on Twitter different data and statistics about the project and its mission. We can also contact promoters to upload stories and publications, promoters should also verify if they have the turn of cryptocurrencies and not NFT. Newsletter: Unlike with NFTs, with cryptocurrencies, we can manage an email subscription, which we will use mainly to send visual updates on how the project is going. Also, this newsletter can be used as a form of communication to get collaborations with more serious companies and people whom we will see as investors, in the same way, you can share a fairly illustrative newsletter that talks about the project in general and invite you to contact us to talk more in-depth. Linkedin: This social network will help us to promote our project more seriously, also making publications talking about the project, here sharing a little more information as a way of mini-blog. The main thing is to seek to form relationships with people and generate networks of opportunity. Telegram: Cryptocurrency groups on telegram are more common than those of NFT since while they use discord as their main means of communication, with cryptocurrencies it is better to have a direct approach with the people who are buying and investing in our asset, so a telegram group with your loyal investors comes in handy. This is where people will first find out about the latest status of your project and the publications we will make on the different social networks. At The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to support you to make an effective promotion plan for your cryptocurrency project, apart from the fact that we already have a base of influencers and specific promoters of projects with cryptocurrencies, quote us.

Central Bank of France

France starts with the second phase of its CBDC project

The first tests of the first phase in the Bank of France’s trials for a wholesale digital euro have been completed. But now it has been announced by François Villeroy de Galhaula who is the governor of the Bank of France that the second phase of the tests is expected to start this year. They commented at the Europlace International Financial Forum in Paris that four or five new experiments are expected to be launched. The European system is looking at the scope and design of a central bank cryptocurrency (CBDC) in euros. The rationale is that a retail digital euro can maintain the role of central bank money in the economy even when it is “threatened by the digital revolution,” Villeroy de Galhau continued. “I believe that the Eurosystem should not have the role of managing digital euro holdings: the Banque de France closed its last private client accounts more than 20 years ago, and has no intention of reopening any.” The Banque de France’s proprietary technology for its digital ledger is referred to as DL3S, for a possible future system. An automated market maker platform based on a decentralized financial model was also designed, where multiple CBDC settlements will be possible. Further testing will be to see how the digital euro performs with private agents and other central banks, preparing to implement it in the pilot scheme in 2023. Again we see a nation betting on the digital world, hopefully, these tests will prove positive so that many more countries will be interested in leaping to have their fiat currencies converted into digital assets.

Game stop

Game Stop launches beta of NFT marketplace

This Monday Game stop has finally released the beta of its NFT marketplace to expand and offer new digital services. The company hopes to take advantage of its customers, who are gamers and geeks and have the most exposure to the world of blockchain technology and NFTs. The GameStop NFT marketplace will be accessible from multiple cryptocurrency wallets, but mainly from the company’s own GameStop Wallet. The marketplace has found its development through collaboration with Immutable X, thus receiving GameStop some IMX tokens which have been sold for approximately $77 million. GameStop is one of the companies that has been working on ways to innovate within the crypto and NFT world for quite some time, making some announcements somewhat stealthily in the space since May 2021. In January 2022, the stock, which is popular with retail traders, shot up 30% following the announcement of its NFT division. This NFT marketplace could mean a new era not only for GameStop but for many other smaller companies that want to make the leap into crypto innovation. Hopefully, the company’s renaissance through its marketplace will become more noticeable in the future.

PSG NFT japan tour

PSG sells NFT tickets for its Japan tour

French soccer team Paris Saint Germain will return with its Japanese tour for the first time in 27 years, and it comes as an innovation as the ticket for its matches in Japan comes in the form of NFT. Three premium tickets for the Japanese Tour NFT will be available, one for each of the three matches, and will be on sale until Wednesday. Those who manage to purchase their NFT tickets for the PSG Japan Tour will get VIP access to the venue and will also be able to meet and greet with some of PSG’s star players. As this is the first time PSG has returned to Japan since 1995, an NFT will be launched to commemorate the event. PSG’s first match on their tour will take place on July 20 with Kawasaki Frontale as part of the J1 League. Some of the soccer stars present will be: Kylian Mbappe Neymar Jr Lionel Messi  Marco Veratti Marquinhos  All of whom will be on tour in Japan. We see that soccer clubs are among the companies that have more acceptance for innovations related to cryptocurrencies and NFT, being undoubtedly PSG one of the first to adopt them. For since December 2020 they have had their fan token on Binance which they use to encourage the participation of their fans around the world in club affairs. Today PSG stands as the first soccer club to sell its ticket as NFT, but it is worth noting that around the world other clubs are also championing many bullish innovations regarding the adoption of digital collectibles. One example is that in March, FC Barcelona announced that it was preparing to launch its NFT collection and cryptocurrencies. Other clubs, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, are also investing in Web3.0 and the Metaverse ecosystem. We expect to see more adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs not only by soccer clubs but also by all their fans.

bitcoin pizza day

Fun facts in the crypto world: “Bitcoin Pizza Day”

If you are a crypto enthusiast you probably taste that every May 22 is celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day. This is the day on which Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Jacksonville, Florida who, considering the historical maximum to which the currency has reached, spent 3.9 billion dollars in bitcoin to buy pizzas. Well over 10 years ago, Hanyecz posted on the Bitcointalk forum that he would pay 10,000 bitcoins for two large pizzas. The man ordered his 2 pizzas from Papa John’s, as promised, and paid with 10,000 bitcoins which at the time cost him about $41. However, the clever programmer is proud to have played a fundamental role in the construction of the universal phenomenon that bitcoin has become over the years. This is one of the first Bitcoin transactions, the man said that his primary goal that night was not so much to buy a pizza as to prove that goods and services could be exchanged for BTC, as with classic fiat money, and to contribute to the adoption of the cryptocurrency, adding that: 9 months after the purchase, Bitcoin achieved parity with the US dollar, making both pizzas worth $10,000 and in 2015, the fifth anniversary of the Bitcoin Pizza Day, both pizzas were valued at $2.4 million. Despite the astronomical increase in his pizzas, and in the cost of Bitcoin, Hanyecz seems unrepentant.

Titkok influencer Khaby lame becomes Binance’s brand ambassador

Binance adds a new signing by hiring influencer Khaby Lame, the Italian-Senegalese content creator who achieved fame for his viral videos on TikTok about life hacks. Khaby is looking to expand Web 3.0 education so he has become a global brand ambassador. The “Khaby gesture” is his signature as he became a sensation on TikTok where Khaby would critique life-hacks videos in situations that looked complicated but really weren’t, but the cool thing was that he did it without saying a word which led him to be the most followed creator on TikTok, with over 144 million followers on the platform and 78 million followers on Instagram. With the influence of Khabane “Kaby” Lame, Binance will use their new collaboration to help clear up some of the misconceptions about Web3 and work on exclusive NFT collections, further enriching the fan experience. “I consider my fans my family and am always looking for new challenges and interesting content to share with them,” said Khaby Lame. “I’ve been curious about Web3 for a while now and have embraced this opportunity to partner with a leader like Binance because it aligns perfectly with what I do: making complex things easier and more fun for everyone.” As we discussed with Binance’s signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, the exchange is leveraging public figures to bring the crypto world to people who had always wanted to take the plunge but were afraid to do so, and seeing more and more well-known people getting into this place is making people lose that fear. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future.

crypto Whale

Bitcoin Whales who are they?

In the world of cryptocurrencies, various scales have become popular, in which most use different animals to pigeonhole the many investor profiles. The largest investors in digital currencies are known as “whales” It is customary to call such players with a minimum of 1,000 BTC. Several of them are known, such as Pantera Capital or Coin Capital Partners, even if other influential addresses are not known. It is complicated to know to whom the addresses belong or whom the entities hold the largest portions of Bitcoin. However, reports provided by analysts and professionals allow speculation as to who might qualify for this set of giant fish. So a whale is an actor that trades vastly more money than the average investor so they possess the power to manipulate it up or down. As an example, when whales begin to hold their bitcoins for extended periods, it indicates a good future for the cryptocurrency and there is speculation of a rise in its cost. The opposite may also happen. Once whales massively sell an asset, other smaller investors tend to continue the trend, and consequently, it can cause a drop in the cost of the currency. Not only can monumental organizations be known as whales, but some have speculated that there are individual investors, popularly known in the crypto world. One example is Satoshi Nakamoto, who is the first to mine and hold this asset and is believed to have around 1 million bitcoins. Other known investors who could receive the title of whales are the Winklevoss twins, who in 2013 mentioned having 1% of all Bitcoin and who could currently collect more than that. The whales as a group have not diminished, but they have increased, so they will continue to accumulate large amounts of bitcoin and act as holders for a great period more. Other denominations to know are as follows: Shrimp: less than 1 BTC Crab: between 1 and 10 Octopus: 10-50 Fish: 50-100 Dolphin: 100-500 Shark: 500-1,000 Whale 1,000-5,000 Humpback whale: more than 5,000 bitcoins Many times while navigating this immense world, we may come across terminology that we don’t know or fail to understand so here at The Blue Manakin we will do our best to help you understand this vocabulary in the crypto world.

Newsletter (more for ICOs and cryptocurrencies but can also apply to NFTs): Always collect emails when you start encouraging your project, which is going to serve to start creating a list of subscribers to whom you can send the latest news about the project through an easy-to-read and attention-grabbing email. Networking on LinkedIn (ICO): It is a network that works perfectly to establish assignments and reach potential sponsors and influencers since its advantage is that people in this social network are more accustomed to direct messages about business. Social networks ( The 3): The importance now with common networks like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are good for anyone to get to know you, a tip here is to keep them always updated, uploading eye-catching content and creating interaction with users. Discord (mainly NFT but it can also be applied with cryptocurrencies: It is one of the most important things for projects to have a space where all the people interested in the project can live in the same space together with the creative team.

Influencers (All 3): A mutually beneficial assignment is created, where the influencer shares information and product advantage with their loyal audience, with whom they equally consent, giving you equal critique for review and analysis. But you have to keep in mind when getting an influencer that their content is relevant to the brand and what you want to communicate. It is also important to verify what type of content our influencer shares since you will not give an ICOs project to one that only talks about NFT in their channels. Telegram (ICOS and cryptocurrencies): Telegram contrary to many social networks, allows crypto ads, apart from the fact that because of its end-to-end encryption it offers better security to operators. Using it well involves creating a committed community through its groups.

Never fear the truth

Johnny Depp makes a donation of NFT profits to a children’s hospital

The original collection gathers 11,100 Johnny Depp “Never Fear Truth” NFTs which have been handmade by the famed artist himself. The fact that has attracted many people to this collection apart from the fact that they are made by the pirate jack sparrow himself is the holder of these tokens, that can have both the “non-physical” and the “non-physical” option to purchase each painting for sale. Both of which are kept within the marketplace. However, only 10,000 NFTs are available for sale, while the other 1,100 NFTs are held in the hands of the performer. Depp’s art is portraits of his loved ones, such as close friends, people who have inspired him throughout his life, and even himself. This art is made in a Pop Art style that is full of strong and appealing colors, consonants, and triggers when it comes to expressing something. The Never Fear Truth community has grown quite a lot, they already have more than 2K owners of the art. Another attraction to this art is that it comes with a cause since the actor decided to donate 25% of the proceeds from the sale of his collection within the Rarible platform, to several specialized and recognized foundations. So currently Johnny Depp has already donated almost $800,000 dls to charities from the sale of NFT, dividing the money between: La Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation La Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity The Footprint Coalition El Children’s Hospital of Los Ángeles. It’s nice to see what NFT collections can accomplish beyond being a money-making goal. Many times the characteristics that can make a project stand out the most are the background they have and when they are made for a charitable cause thus using blockchain as the means for anyone in the world to participate and own a piece of it all.

ICO

What is an ICO (Initial Coin Offering)?

An ICO is the initial offering of a coin and has to do with the financing of a project that aims at the birth of a new cryptocurrency. An Initial Coin Offering is a fairly popular funding process in the crypto world whereby the developers of a project offer an early token sale to the public to raise funds and develop the token project. If we contribute more money to the ICO, more tokens will be given to us. Early investors or people who buy in the ICO phase because they believe in the project or simply because when the project manages to develop with the funds collected, the coin will be in high demand and this will positively impact the price of the asset. What are ICO sales like? Sales can be open to the public so that anyone can invest with any amount of money they wish for They can also be reserved for private sales with investment funds and other major investors in the market. The procedure is a free choice for developers. It is always important to keep in mind that the idea is that you are not selling an investment asset, but you are pre-selling an asset that can be used within a platform. Advantages of ICOs: The authors of the new currency do not have to achieve financing from banks or investors. For individual investor users, it serves to finance highly innovative companies directly. In the end, we can say that ICOs are a new way to start a startup, for the moment it is something that applies mainly to the world of cryptocurrency, but there is the possibility of financing projects outside this world because of its ease and disassociation from third parties such as banks or investment funds. On the other hand, people who want to invest in an idea they like can do it without any problem of being rejected.

Tectum

Tectum: the fastest Blockchain in the world

During the rise of NFTs, one of the big problems was the deficiency of some blockchains with lack of scalability, which proved to be detrimental to any further development. So many projects have been working to solve these problems and scale their networks without sacrificing security and decentralization. One example of this is Tectum. Tectum’s Blockchain? Tectum is a platform that uses a proprietary record change signature management algorithm and its blockchain is capable of handling more than one million transactions per second calls which are referred to as “Events”. This handling achieves rapid delivery of event status, as well as network-wide property updates, along with distributed levels of access to the system’s functional modules. But one of the most striking features of the Tectum blockchain is the ability to store hashes assigned to the original data that is stored at a lower level rather than directly on the blockchain. Which manages to more effectively isolate transaction information and validation using hashes along with signing and encrypting packets at the transaction end. The main purpose of this is to make the event-related information instantly verifiable and also accessible to the public. So Tectum has become a suitable choice for applications such as: Geopositioning recording Internet of Things (IoT) Billing records Logistics Municipal or legal records storage In essence, the network processes packets, blocks, and virtually everything while keeping it at the top level of its blockchain. This is the main reason why Tectum can achieve such substantial transaction throughput without sacrificing security procedures. Blockchain is something that as technology advances and the use of cryptocurrencies is increasingly adopted, it is going to evolve until we can see better applications in different fields is a unique process that every company will want to have.
