He did it again, just a few tweets on canine coins later and startled Musk-fans are depreciating the fairly fresh Shiba Inu coin. The dog coins Doge, Baby Doge and Shiba Inu are closely associated with the PayPal-founder, with his opinions having measurable impact on these specific currencies and also beyond. A big bummer for SHIB was the dry statement that he wasn’t holding any of it. It is yet another example how online influencing can heavily drive or diminish stock value.
Many fellow Twitter users started asking about other coins, to which Musk countered he were only holding Bitcoin, Ethereum and Doge. Out of curiosity, he stated, opining that true value is built through products and services, not any form of money.
At the same time, Musk has interacted with the team behind Doge several times in the past to increase its blockchain efficiency. When speaking with his followers, he named the most important factors to tackle are lowering fees, decreasing block time and increasing block size, as well as moving the blockchain to a single layer network.

For anyone who is not familiar with gambling sites, the connection between cryptocurrency and gambling might seem like a stretch, but in reality, the two are important factors in each other’s industries, so one naturally affects the other. Blockchain technologies, or cryptocurrency, have been a part of the gambling industry for a long time and are a popular way of processing payments while playing casino games or gambling.
When it comes to cryptocurrency and gambling, there are mainly two currencies that have taken the largest part of the collaboration between the two industries, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum, and people tend to prefer the latter among the two. If you are interested in gambling online you should visit Zamsino’s Canadian site, and see all the options they offer there for people who want to explore gambling as an entertaining way to spend their free time.
Why cryptocurrency?
There are many reasons why the cryptocurrency is popular when it comes to online casinos and gaming, and the main reason why, is that it offers full anonymity. Because of how it’s encrypted, using cryptocurrency instead of regular currency, offers a whole different kind of confidentiality that a lot of people enjoy. It also means that no government or authority can regulate it, which is another popular reason for using cryptocurrency when gambling.
When you use cryptocurrency to gamble, and as a way to take your money off a given site, you are simultaneously also a lot better protected against hackling, because only the person with the access code (or key) is able to make changes, and that person is you. In short, you are able to control everything in a whole other way than you can when using normal currency.
When you gamble online without having to worry about privacy or hacking, you are able to have a much more relaxed experience, where you can really just focus on the entertainment you came for. But there are certain moral questions that you might want to take into consideration when you are choosing cryptocurrency instead of using normal currency.
Be aware of tax rules and regulations in your country
Depending on where you are from, the rules regarding the tax you are supposed to pay on what you win when you gamble can vary and is something that you should really look into. Because while many choose cryptocurrency because it’s private and can’t be traced back to them in the same way as money deposited into your account from an online casino can, and they, therefore, can’t be held accountable for earnings and taxed accordingly, it doesn’t mean that this is right.
Regaining total anonymity, safety from hacking, and all the other great facets of cryptocurrency is great, but you can safely enjoy gambling with cryptocurrency and still pay taxes according to the rules of the country you live in, regardless. It’s tempting not to because it is easier to get away with it, but it feels better to contribute.

Blockchain functionalities regarding security rely on the interaction between the nodes that participate in the consensus process, shielding the information stored in the chain from outside influences due to the availability of the contents of the chain to all the involved parties. However, this also prevents for multiple chains to communicate to one another to exchange relevant information.
Polkadot created a system where multiple parallelised chains can simultaneously store information while a separate, inter-connecting layer that fulfills the need of allowing the communication between chains, performing the consensus for validation, and monitoring the behavior of nodes so security is properly maintained.
I. Introduction
In a recent research document, we covered Zcash2 and how its vision and implementation is focused on combatting one of the issues that are inherently associated to blockchain and its functionality: privacy. Due to the growth in popularity of this technology and the increase in accessibility, individual and institutional users with specific needs which are not covered by the normal instances of blockchain are more common, and this fact has an obvious negative impact in the image of blockchain.
Since every chain is considered to be its own network, where the nodes partake in the consensus algorithm to verify which contents are valid and belong to the next block, the possibility of intercommunication between different protocols becomes nearly impossible. This may seem unimportant for most individual users, since simple operations in exchanges could work to move certain funds from one blockchain to another, but institutional clients that handle multiple accounts and wallets, or users looking to diversify their portfolio in an easier manner.
Polkadot, an initiative by Gavin Wood which we covered in an article some time ago, is looking towards implementing ways to facilitate intercommunication between multiple blockchains through the use of independent parallel chains that communicate through a core blockchain, which is responsible for consensus and security.
In this new document, we will go into further detail on how Polkadot looks towards implementing this mechanism and set a precedent for interoperability and scalability without sacrificing security, along with its future among the big players in the market and how it can shape the way new users interact with their assets.
II. Main proposal and functioning
Starting with the release of his paper in 20161, where he explained the hypothetical way in which a system that acted as an underlying connection between multiple blockchains, Gavin Wood has been developing his idea to its current, tangible state, establishing a system that works through the interactions of individual “parachains” via the “relay chain” that acts as the foundation.
II.a. Network Structure
Parachains are independent, parallelized data structures that act as the different blockchains handled by Polkadot. These chains have the capacity to support their own token(s) and optimize their functionality for specific uses or intentions, much like the platforms that can be built on the Ethereum network.
The main advantage of the implementation of parachains comes in scalability, since assets which are handled by large numbers of transactions could be “split” into multiple parachains, thus benefiting from the parallelized consensus and security of the relay chain. On top of this, they also offer the creation of parathreads, which act as lesser-scale, temporary chains for projects that do not require continuous connection to the network.
The difference between this concept and traditional blockchains is that parachains are not in charge of the consensus mechanism that validates their transactions, which we will explain later, and can even gather information that has already been validated from external sources like Bitcoin or Ethereum. This is possible by the use of bridges and allows for the creation of parachains which replicate the movements of the original ones, while taking advantage of the improvements brought by Polkadot.
As mentioned, the relay chain is the bedrock on top of which the rest of the network is built. It is the part of the network in charge of communicating all the multiple parachains, of ensuring the security of the information
– as it stores the headers of each parachain and preventing reorganization or double-spending – and is also the stage where the consensus algorithm is applied, which involves the interaction of nodes with multiple roles, all of this while avoiding excessive centralization of functions.
II.b. Roles and hierarchy
The consensus mechanism implemented in Polkadot relies in the interaction between multiple roles, each one ensuring that the information stored in the relay chain is valid. Through a Nominated Proof-of-Stake system, a large number of nominators cast their votes into the selection of validators, which later stake an amount of DOT tokens to participate in the consensus and select the transactions that will be stored in the relay chain. The information received by the validators is collected by the collators, which take transactions from each shard of the parachains and sending it to the validators. The last role in the ladder are the fishermen, which ensure that all other roles are fulfilling their functions and reporting bad behavior to validators, maintaining the correct functioning of the chain.
Multiple studies have shown how the implementation of hierarchy-based consensus algorithms helps towards mitigating blockchain’s weakness in scalability3,4,5, and in conjunction with the mentioned ability to create multiple parachains to support assets, Polkadot represents a clear improvement over other existing mechanisms.
II.c. Governance and the DOT token
Governance in the Polkadot network is also based in a hierarchy of roles, where elected Council Members represent the more passive stakeholders in processes like proposing referenda or vetoing malicious proposals. Besides the Council Members, the Technical Committee, active teams of users involved in the building and maintenance of the network, can propose emergency referenda.
This system is supported by the DOT token, which is used in the staking for the consensus algorithm and given as a reward for good behavior, whereas bad actors lose their stake. This token also gives its holders complete control over the protocol, as they become participants of the relay chain and manage processes besides the consensus algorithm, like upgrades and fixes to the protocol. Finally, the DOT token is also required to create new parachains, and an equivalent of tokens is destroyed when a non-useful or outdated parachain is removed from the network.
III. Projects built on Polkadot
With the growth that Polkadot has seen in the last few years, many projects have found the ground they needed to build their platform in this network, taking considerable advantage of scalability and fast validation times.
ChainLink, another platform that has experienced a steady growth in the past months, is an oracle chain built on Polkadot, whose main purpose is to gather data from other blockchains and networks and making it available for all the contracts in Polkadot. This interaction is made possible due to Polkadot’s support
for smart contracts, which also power projects like Edgeware and the current testnet for Charred Cherry.
In the financial side, ChainX and Katallasos have focused on building financial chains that allow users to hold and manage multiple assets in one single portfolio, given the existence of bridges with big chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Zcash, and many other. This interconnection also allowed Speckle OS to focus on the creation of identity chains, which do not link assets, but rather allow the use of fewer accounts to access multiple parachains: since the identity stored in this parachain is also verified and validated in the relay chain, it could also be used “outwards” to create accounts in other parachains.
IV. The future
Given how the system established by Polkadot facilitates the management and secure, decentralized storage of not only transactions, but almost every kind of file, it could be a great basepoint for Internet-of- things projects where multiple devices and manufacturers can connect and communicate with each other through the relay chain, without sacrificing their independent security measures and turning the user experience for the better.
Again, we see how projects like Polkadot, lead by individuals and groups with not only the required technical knowledge about the functioning of blockchain, but also the creativity to propose new solutions and the drive to see them become a reality, are the main force that will take this still-revolutionary technology to a state where most of its inherent problems are almost unperceivable, while also maintaining the sense of community that keeps a blockchain healthy and plowing the fields so other enthusiasts and visionaries can plant the seeds for the future of not only blockchain, but the handling of digital information and communications.

A new $4.3 billion resort opening next month will be the first Las Vegas Strip property to accept cryptocurrency. However, it will take a change in state laws across the country and federal acceptance before it can ever be used on casino floors.
The announcement by Resorts World Las Vegas is a big step for the Strip corridor and will likely put pressure on other casino properties to do the same.
In its announcement, Resorts World described the deal with Gemini as the first-ever partnership between a Las Vegas casino resort and a cryptocurrency exchange.
Resorts World, which opens on June 24th, said it has partnered with Gemini to explore future opportunities which would allow patrons to use their crypto wallet “to enhance the integrated resort experience.” They said details to pursue and “implement crypto-friendly services at the best-in-class institutional rates across all areas” would be finalized in the coming weeks.
Though cashless gaming is growing in Nevada, particularly since the reopening of casinos following the pandemic forced closure, cryptocurrency as payment on casino floors isn’t allowed under Nevada law. However, there is nothing preventing customers from exchanging it for cash that they could use for any purpose, including for gaming.
The crypto and blockchain industry is surging in popularity of late with bitcoin, Ethereum and a number of other cryptos smashing through price barriers.
This has resulted in a number of interesting startups entering the fold, and AIBC is proud to give these startups a platform to showcase their projects.
AIBC sits down with Luca Arrigo, from Decentraland Architects, to give us a deeper insight into what Decentraland Architects is all about.
Victor Castillejo has stated that the “habeas data” complaint that was filed against the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) argues that asking local banks for information on crypto users is illegal.
Castillejo claims that there is a violation in “privacy, human rights, constitutionally protected” of every user who is trading in cryptos, such as Bitcoin. The Argentinian lawyer provided the following on the matter:
“The BCRA does not have the power to compile a list of these characteristics, and if it does, that power does not allow it to avoid the obligations regarding the protection of personal data provided by Law 25,326 and Regulatory Decree 1558/2001.”
Castillejo filed the action before the National Court in Administrative Litigation No. 10 in Argentina and aims for the BCRA to delete any information they have collected. If this fail the class action habeas data will also seek to “disassociate the data that it has requested.”
The BCRA has requested information from local banks about customers who trade and deal in bitcoin and any other crypto transactions. The information requested by the Central Bank are:
The reason the BCRA are requesting this information is to evaluate whether the crypto market requires an extensive regulation.

It is one of the leading events globally for blockchain, AI, crypto, and other emerging technologies, and gathers together an elite selection of delegates, policymakers and thought leaders from across the globe. Such international recognition has helped propel AIBC Summit become a favourite on the world circuit for emerging tech conferences and expos.
Miami’s mayor, Francis Suarez, is aiming to sell Miami as the crypto capital not only of the US but of the world.
Miami is nicknamed as “The Magic City” due to its rapid growth and fun, vibrant atmosphere. Now, Francis Suarez wants to turn Miami into a financial and tech hub.
The mayor told Dealbook:
“We want to be on the next wave of innovation.”
The city has undergone a massive marketing campaign, which included selling the naming rights of the Miami Heat’s arena to FTX crypto exchange.
FTX crypto exchange, which is headed by Samuel Bankman-Fried, was one vote away from winning it’s bid. Now, the NBA has just approved the deal to go through.
The deal is set to be worth $135million for the next 19 years and was approved by the Miami-Dade County Commission. From the $135M deal, $90M will be going into Miami’s coffers and this funding will be used to fight gun violence and poverty in the area.
Reports state that the agreement includes yearly payments from FTX to Miami-Dade. Miami-Dade control the naming rights for the building.
Moreover, mayor Suarez also wants to pay Miami’s municipal workers and accept tax payments in Bitcoin, while also invest Miami’s funds in bitcoin.
Miami has also experienced a massive influx of people coming to Florida from Silicon Valley and New York due to Bitcoin’s raise in popularity. There is belief that these two trends are related to each other, according to Mayor Suarez as companies are starting to realise the talent pool there is in Miami in regards to tech.
However, there is still an issue when it comes to regulation. Miami are said to follow Wyoming’s crypto policies. Wyoming, the least populous state in America, is embracing cryptocurrencies and has a number of pro-crypto lawmakers. These lawmakers are ensuring that digital currency remains an integral part of their legislative agenda.
Wyoming’s lawmakers had previously put forward a number of bills to attract the crypto industry. The three bills that were previously passed by the state aimed to make Wyoming the number one state in the US for cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses.
Miami has also gained the backing from IBC Group, a private equity firm based in Dubai. The firm claimed that is will spend 100,000 Bitcoin to help realise Mayor Suarez dream, by launching a Miami 2.0 Blockchain Strategy Foundation.
IBC Chairman Khurram Shroff said:
“Making the largest Bitcoin investment in history is proof of our commitment to assisting cities adopt Blockchain, which we see as the key to enabling widespread adoption”
Which states/cities will join Wyoming and Miami in becoming a crypto-focused area? Could these initiatives propel bitcoin into the mainstream?

Central Banks across the world have been exploring the possibility of implementing a digital currency. Which countries may follow China in launching their own digital currency?
A digital currency can provide a safer financial environment as it will enable individuals, private companies and a number of financial institutions to settle directly in central bank money rather than through bank deposits.
Therefore, through digital currencies, there will be a reduction in liquidity concentration as well as a reduction of credit risk in payment systems.
This has resulted in a number of countries actually developing their own digital currency while other countries are in the process of or are exploring/explored the possibility of implementing a digital currency.
The People’s Bank of China has developed the digital yuan, which is a central bank digital currency which aims to replace a portion of paper cash in circulation. One of the purposes of the digital yuan is to increase competition in China’s mobile payments market which is currently dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay.
China is already very advanced in cashless payments and the digital yuan will definitely fasten the process. It was also announced that the digital currency will be legal tender and no interest will be paid on it.
How does it work?
The People’s Bank of China will distribute the digital currency to commercial banks. These banks will then take on the responsibility of distributing it to consumers through services such as exchanging coins and cash for digital yuan.
Many economists also believe that eCNY will make China’s currency compete with the US dollar since it will be able to move with less restrictions and barriers
China’s creation of the digital yuan, which was in the works since 2014, is a first in major economy and could possibly set off a domino effect with a number of other major countries ready to develop their own digital currency.
Senegal’s digital currency, called eCFA, launched back in 2016. eCFA was introduced to co-exist as a legal tender alongside its recognised currency – CFA Franc.
The launch of this virtual currency was carried out through a collaboration between the Banque Régionale de Marchés (BRM) and eCurrency Mint Limited. Eventually, the BRM launched the eCFA in compliance with regulations of the Banque Centrale des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (BCEAO) and the Central Bank of West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).
The eCFA is completely controlled by the Central Bank since they also control the production through a digital currency production engine which is meant to be kept offline.
Singapore is a leading nation in research into central bank digital currencies through Project Ubin. Singapore is working closely with Shanghai through a collaboration between the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the People’s Bank of China for developing digital currencies.
Although Singapore does not have an actual digital currency, the aim of Project Ubin is to reduce cross border payment costs, settlement speed and increase security. The initiative was launched back in 2016 and Project Ubin’s prototype has been validated through workshops with more than 40 financial and non-financial organisations.
Project Ubin’s uses includes a fast and cost-effective cross border transactions, foreign exchange and smart contracts for trading. It has huge potential for collaboration with more central banks to build a cross-border payments networks.
Petro is a cryptocurrency that was launched by the government of Venezuela. However, it does not seem like it is being used as an actual currency. The purpose of the Venezuelan government issuing Petro was to supplement Venezuela’s currency by backing the cryptocurrency on oil and mineral reserves while also acting as a way to go around U.S sanctions.
However, last year President Maduro stated that he wants the virtual currency to be widely used as a form of payment by locals, even though there is a lack of education on the way it is used. Maduro also decreed that airlines flying from Caracas must pay fuel through the cryptocurrency.
The two countries, through the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE), collaborated with each other to launch project Aber.
This project was launched to determine whether DLT could enable cross border payments between these two countries and whether it would reduce time of transfers and minimise costs between banks.
The new digital currency ‘Aber’ forges a closer financial relationship between the two. SAMA and the CBUAE have released the final results of the pilot project which seem positive as the findings were consistent with the results of other pilot programs conducted by other central banks.
Countries that have launched Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) pilot programs
After China announced their own digital currency, the US Federal Reserve is now planning its own digital dollar prototype.
According to the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, the US Central bank is exploring possibilities to launch a digital dollar.
Powell announced this during an event organised by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Two prototypes of the digital dollar are nearing completion which were developed by officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Cunha (pictured) added that once the prototype is released, others will be able to build on its foundations. However, there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed by the Central Bank, Treasury and Congress for this project.
The issues outlined by Cunha are:
Authorities in Germany are developing technology that allows investors to buy and sell securities on the blockchain and in exchange receive central bank money.
The main aim of this tech development is to bridge the gap between the two.
Several institutions both public and private have been experimenting with a distributed ledger technology (DLT), known to be behind powering several cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, for finalising trades in official money.
Budesbank partnered with Deutsche Borse and the German Govt. debt agency for this new venture and stated on Wednesday that this new solution is the first of its kind, allowing people to sell securities on blockchain and receive their proceeds in their central bank account.
There is expectation that this newly found technology will be made available to the entire euro zone, before the European Central Bank’s digital euro is launched.
“We are aiming to explore the implications of a CBDC for efficiency, risk management and innovation in wholesale financial market transactions. We are pleased to be collaborating with industry partners to explore if there is a future role for a wholesale CBDC in the Australian payments system.”

The online world is expanding, and becoming more digitalised. Meaning that many things are moving online. This goes for both work, entertainment and learning. Two good examples of the ever growing digitalisation is online casinos and crypto currency.
Both of these showcase how far technology has come. And the combination of these comes into play in crypto-casinos. (Find the best Crypto-Casinos here if you are in need of some inspiration.)
Playing casino games online is a much more accessible and flexible way of passing your free time. The digital, online casinos can be accessed through many devices with internet access. This means that casinos can be brought to the players through smartphones, tablets and laptops. These types of platforms are both modern and forward-thinking, and so it comes as no surprise that some of them have decided to implement the newest, digital types of payments: crypto-currency.
You may not have heard the term “crypto currency before”, but there is a significant chance that you have heard of types of crypto currency. Bitcoin is an especially well-known crypto currency that has gained a lot of attention and popularity in the past few years. Other crypto currencies include Ethereum, Tether and Binance Coin.
So, what is crypto currency exactly? Crypto currency is a type of virtual currency that can be used to pay at a growing number of stores and companies. Much like normal currency, you will have a set amount of currency that you can use to pay, or you can get more of by being paid. The difference is that there is no physical representation on crypto currency. No notes or coins. This is something that makes some people hesitant to get into crypto currency, but more and more people are slowly being won over.
What is a crypto-casino?
Crypto-casinos are online casinos that accept crypto currencies. Online casinos have grown substantially in popularity as more and more players are joining them. Much like normal casinos, they have a variety of games that enables the players to gamble. This will typically mean that they players have to deposit money onto their user accounts at the casinos. For crypto casinos, the money will in the form of crypto currency.
Online casinos are increasing in popularity and will generally have a lot of the well-known and popular games that you already know from traditional, land-based casinos. This includes a vhumanariety of slots, card games, roulette and others. The best online casinos manage to create a great atmosphere for players that makes the experience much more fun and engaging. Here website design, user-friendliness, quality of games and variety of games play a big role in creating the overall feel of the casino.
Some online casinos offer live dealer games, and these tend to be popular due to the feeling of playing with other, real people. A live game with a live dealer is a game run by a real-life dealer in real time. The dealer will be sat at a casino table and be live streamed to the players. Then the players participate in the game like they would, if they were physically there. They will often have the option to interact with each other through chat. This helps to create some of the excitement and fun that many people associate with regular casinos.
How do you choose the right crypto-casino?
When searching on the internet for online casinos, you will quickly discover that the selection is quite large. As a player you have plenty of options to choose from which means that you have the chance of being picky. But it can also make the decision-making process a bit longer and more confusing. Naturally, you will have an interest in picking the best casino but this can be harder to do that you might think.
It can be hard to determine what is the best online casino as it depends a lot on the player. However, there are a number of casinos that generally would be a good choice. When trying to determine what is the best online casino for you, personally, it can help to try to identify the things that are most important to when playing casino games. Maybe you care a lot about the graphics and music in the games as they play a big part in the overall atmosphere? Maybe you have certain, less-known games that you want to be able to play.
It is worth noting that many online casinos will offer bonuses for new players. These can make it easier to get started. They will usually be in the form of free spins on a slot game or a bonus, matching your first deposit, that you can use to play for. You can take these bonuses into consideration when choosing a casino but it should be remembered that the bonus only is for new players, and once you have used it, you will not get more out of it. So, it makes more sense to focus on the quality of the casino rather than possible bonuses.
Why are crypto-casinos important today?
Online casinos have gained popularity and so has crypto currency. The combination of these two is a logical one that is very much in line with the general direction of technology and human habits. Crypto casinos are a good example of how a whole business can run almost exclusively online and on digital platforms. With no need for any physical space except for office space for the creators and the server. It is a good example of the future of both entertainment and professional life.
Crypto casinos should not be ignored when looking into the possibilities created by technological advancements. In many ways, these forward-minded businesses can offer a lot of inspiration for other industries looking to keep up with the times and make themselves more accessible to a wider range of customers. The possibility of keeping everything digital and online will likely makes businesses more popular and more attractive to new customers. So, there is a good reason to keep up with the trends in this area.

Data analysis firm, CB Insights, found that an estimated $2.6billion was raised by approximately 129 blockchain start-ups during Q1 2021.
The figure for 2021 eclipses that of 2020 by more than $300million as startups raised $2.3billion for the whole previous year through 341 deals. The figures show that venture capitalists are pouring money into this lucrative industry compared to the previous years. However, the surge in blockchain startups has certainly helped the rise in funding.
Several startups such as BlockFi Inc, Dapper Labs and Blockchain.com were very influential in the amount raised.
Till now, the year 2018 recorded the most funds for blockchain and crypto startups with a total capital raise of $3.3billion. This was due to the bull-run that occurred in that year, cooling down in 2019 ($2.1billion). However, according to CB Insights data, blockchain and crypto start-ups are set to outperform 2018’s figures with ease.
Q1 of 2021 also saw bitcoin’s market cap escalate to $1trillion while the entire crypto market appears to be on course to break the $2 trillion barrier.
