Cryptocurrencies Market Still Allows New Investors To Come In

While some investors hop into the cryptocurrencies car every day, many others are disheartened by the present market environment. The cryptocurrencies market has expanded tremendously in the last few years. There is the perception that the investors who adopted Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos while they were low in value some years ago are the cryptocurrencies billionaires we see today and in some ways, it is too late for the new entrants to be as successful as the other had been.

Many would like to benefit from what old-school cryptocurrency investors are experiencing right now, but the thought of purchasing Bitcoin (BTC) coins while traded at the $7,400 level turns into a challenge, leaving a lot of “potential” investors out in the cold while the stock continues to scream “go ahead.”

The Bitcoin (BTC) affair is a significant asset to potential traders who are afraid to take the plunge, as the cryptocurrencies, as many experts believe, will not reach a new all-time high. While this may be correct, some others cryptocurrencies market’s analysts have also forecast that the BTC will increase more than last year.

Cryptocurrencies market still has the potential for growth, so it’s not too late to invest in cryptos

Regardless of what any crypto specialist might be thinking, the cryptocurrencies market is a long way off, and it still has plenty to give to potential new investors. It’s not unreasonable to invest in cryptocurrencies, and there are a few reasons to do it.

Even though the Bitcoin (BTC) price has dropped to an all-time low since the start of the year, it continues to increase by over 800% from the price level it was trading at in late January 2017.

While Bitcoin (BTC) and other significant cryptocurrencies are traded at a higher level than 2017, there are also a number of high-impact currencies that are potentially impactful at a lower price and could be ideal for your wallet.

Diversity within the cryptocurrencies market is nothing new, and it certainly boosted many cryptocurrency investors to gain additional revenue when the large cryptocurrencies are not running smoothly.

China Plans To Lead IoT And Blockchain Technology Standardization

China will lead an international research group to standardize the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology, the local news portal Science and Technology Daily reported recently.

The joint technical committee, consisting of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), adopted the proposal to form this international research group after a one-month discussion of the committee members.

China promotes the industrialization of IoT and blockchain

Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, writes that the creation of this group means that China has gained “discourse power” over blockchain technology integration.

It is of great importance for China’s industries, which are linked to leading global development and promoting the integration of Fiat and the digital economy.

The international research group chaired by Dr. Shen Jie will promote fiat digital integration by providing a variety of industrial application scenarios and developing a mechanism to promote the international standardization of IoT and blockchain technologies.

The new group will be made of analysts of ten countries, such as the US, the UK, and Germany, among others

China has recently made progress in the acceptance of blockchain technology. Last month, the Digital Currency Research Lab of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) filed a patent for a digital wallet that would allow users to track their transaction history. Also in June PBoC unveiled a blockchain-operated system for digitizing paper cheques.

Earlier this week, as reported by Cointelegraph, the deputy director of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) had called on the country to “unite” its forces to promote the Blockchain as the “core” technology for the new digital economy.

The new research group will consist of experts from over ten countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.

JDC Group Launches An App For Cryptocurrency Investments

JDC Group, in cooperation with Liechtenstein-based Bank Frick, has created an infrastructure for crypto assets and cryptocurrencies that will be integrated into its proprietary app for managing insurance contracts, investments and bank accounts, the company announced in a press release issued recently.

The closer cooperation between the two companies has set the course for a simple, customer-oriented procedure for the purchase and safekeeping of crypto assets and cryptocurrencies. In the next step, the “all-in-one” app will be expanded to include functions for displaying, processing and storing crypto assets, according to the company.

JDC Group offers crypto investors a particularly easy-to-use procedure for their investments.

Consultants and end customers can already add an existing insurance policy, for example, with just two clicks in the WebApp. The cooperation and the new functions will make it similarly easy for crypto investments.

JDC Group

To make this possible, JDC Group wants to develop online interfaces together with Bank Frick in order to be able to offer “an integrable, fully digital solution” in the app.

JDC Group launches an app for cryptocurrency investments

JDC Group CEO Stefan Bachmann describes the currently available solutions “for the purchase, value representation and safekeeping of cryptocurrencies” as “complicated and technical” and says that this reminds him of “the MS-DOS operating system from the 1990s.” Together with Bank Frick, JDC Group wants to start here and create a “system that is easy to use and at the same time trustworthy and secure.”

JDC Group is currently preparing the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of its own Blocx token, which will provide a kind of payback system for a customer loyalty program in which JDC Group customers, consultants, and intermediaries can be rewarded with tokens for each business brokered through JDC Group subsidiaries. Blocx will also be managed via the app.

Bank Frick is expected to take over the secure custody of crypto assets for the project with JDC Group in the future. The institute already operates its own cold storage for cryptocurrencies and enables its customers to make direct investments in Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP (XRP), and Ethereum (ETH).

Skype Audio and Video Calls Update Download Available Soon

When Microsoft bought Skype, competitors in the market, who in the meantime became true giants in messaging, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, did not seem to be a problem, as they only provided basic text messaging services. In the meantime, however, these (and many more) offer Internet-based calling functionality at a similar level, so Microsoft is now trying to differentiate its service through capabilities that fans have long been calling for, such as call recording.

Skype Call Recording is one of the many features that many users have long wanted, and in the meantime they have developed separate applications that offer the ability to record audio or video signal from the Microsoft service. With the promised end-of-July update, which will adapt Skype interface from the desktop to a closer one to the mobile sector, the ability to record calls will be integrated across all platforms.

Thus, when someone starts the recording, all participants in the call will receive a notification that warns them of this.

One of Skype’s main competitors, Google Hangouts, has provided similar functionality a long time ago, combining the video call platform with live streaming capabilities from YouTube to deliver a final record directly to the YouTube channel of the one who wanted to record.

In the case of Skype, the records will most likely remain on the device on which the recording was started. Lately, Microsoft has begun to experiment with the so-called “Content Creator mode”, which offers those interested in podcasting live video or audio, the ability to use Skype along with streaming and recording applications such as Xplit, Wirecast and Vmix.
