The ICO Landscape Is Changing
When I launched this service last year, I planned on having a mix of exchange-traded coin and ICO recommendations. Since then, however, the ICO landscape has changed… dramatically. The recent market pullback has cooled enthusiasm, but that’s not the primary problem. The bigger culprit is the fact that a large number of ICOs have recently decided to exclude U.S. investors…

How Did ICO Investors Really Do in 2017?
Harry Z. was the one who lured me into public service. When he first approached me, I told him working for the government wasn’t for me. He replied, “That’s why we chose you.

Clarity on Crypto’s Biggest Threat: Government
I have long believed that the biggest threat facing cryptocurrency is government. Most countries don’t appreciate competition from private markets when it comes to currency. Nearly all governments have operated with a central bank-controlled monopoly on money for a century or longer. And after China shut down its domestic crypto exchanges and banned initial coin offerings (ICOs) last year, the…

Why the Government’s Approach to Crypto Probably Won’t Last
Crypto is in a tough spot… One of those lousy, unsought, “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” spots. You see, it needs a well-thought-out and fair regulatory regime. And it needs the government to get it right. What Are the Chances? Man, that’s a big ask. It’s like inviting Uncle Sam to tax your money but not too…

The Ultimate Crypto Startup Investment
If you had asked me last month if I liked the upside of high-quality initial coin offerings (ICOs), I’d have said, “Absolutely.” Today, my response would be even more emphatic. I’ve gone from “ICOs are investment-worthy” to… “I don’t care who you are or what your investment goals are, you cannot afford to ignore ICOs.” Especially if the investment doesn’t…

New Recommendation: A Potentially Revolutionary Cryptocurrency
RaiBlocks (XRB) is a potentially revolutionary cryptocurrency. And now, in this dippy market, is the perfect time to open a position. RaiBlocks doesn’t operate on a traditional blockchain infrastructure. It operates using what it calls a “directed acyclic graph.” Think of it like a network of blockchains, with each user having their own “mini-chain.” There are no “miners” with RaiBlocks.…
