TrustSwap Review: Making Smart Contracts Mainstream

The cryptocurrency space can be a scary place if you are not careful. There are scammers left and right, and not just in Discord and Telegram. Many cryptocurrency projects have revealed themselves to be nothing short of a ponzi scheme. Some have even ended with a rug pull – the team dumping their share of the crypto on the market and running with the cash.TrustSwap is a cryptocurrency project that is hoping to change that by using smart contracts.

Yearn Finance’s YFI Token Hits Five Figures, Closing in on BTC Price

As DeFi tokens continue to lead crypto markets ever higher, some such as Yearn Finance’s YFI token are making monumental gains, but is it all for the whales only?

Bitcoin Touches $12,000 While Gold Continues Its Rally

Of the many things that happened over the weekend, perhaps the most significant was the announcement from Warren Buffett that he’s now investing in gold and gold-related assets. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and this is a huge shift in investment principals for the Oracle of Omaha. Long contending that gold is not a worthwhile asset to invest in, Warren is now very abruptly seeing the appeal. Why? … You know why. This is about money printing. The printer is working overtime, and this is

The idea of the tooth fairy never made much sense to me. I don’t like the idea of presenting fiction as fact, especially to my children. My wife, on the other hand, is quite into it. For one thing, the economics are all messed up. Supposing there’s some kind of business or even a nonprofit, how does the Tooth Organization sustain the kind of overhead involved when every transaction results in a loss? The other thing is the timing, which almost never adds up. While you might be able to

Ethereum Classic’s Leadership Says They Don’t Need Charles Hoskinson’s Bailout

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson recently offered to help the troubled Ethereum Classic (ETC) community, but it came with a major condition. The community would first have to institute a decentralized treasury system, similar to Hoskinson’s Cardano and many other blockchain projects. If the community did not accept his terms, Hoskinson felt like his help would have been a waste of time and money:“It's not worth my company's time or our strategies to pivot for a grant or a one off payment to go and bail us out.
