Wozniak: Bitcoin will achieve full potential in a decade

-


By Moris Beracha.- 

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has spoken positively about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. During his opening speech at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Vienna, Wozniak considered this blockchain to be "a great idea".
Later he added that "Blockchain is the next major IT revolution that is about to happen". According to the engineer, cryptocurrencies will achieve their full potential in a decade.
This is not the first time Wozniak has made positive comments about Bitcoin. In 2017, he said that Bitcoin is better than gold and the US dollar. He adds that bitcoin’s big advantage is that there is only a limited amount of coins, while fiat money can simply be printed by banks.
However, "the Woz" has sold all his bitcoins, except one. During the same conference, he justified his decision because "he does not want to be an investor and constantly watch the prices."

By Moris Beracha .-  There are food and sweet vending machines all over the world. Therefore, this market has become the target of some developers, who are working to enable people to pay for products into vending machines with cryptocurrencies. It can be highlighted that the energy drinking company “Red Bull” installed the first energy drink machine that only accepts bitcoins (BTC) in 2016, amid the Paralelni Polis congress of hackers in Prague, the Check Republic. Then, the price of tokens dropped and many companies that planned to develop this type of technology decided to turn a blind eye, until in 2019 they decided to take up said systems. In this sense, it is important to mention that a Brazilian programmer and hardware hacker created a Coca-Cola vending machine accepting payments in BTC. The machine also accepts Lightning Network (LN) transactions. According to the TheNextWeb site, “this machine has been assembled by using a water pum...

By Billy Bambrough Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading volumes on Turkey's exchanges has surged over recent days as the country battles to contain a currency crisis that looks set to continue into this week. Koinim, Turkey’s largest exchange, has reported a 63% increase in Bitcoin trading volume, while the BTCTurk and Paribu exchanges have said their volumes are up 35% and 100% respectively, according to CoinMarketCap data . Unlike Iran, where a ban on bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading means those wanting to buy bitcoin must turn to peer-to-peer exchanges like LocalBitcoins, banks in Turkey often still work with local exchanges, meaning fresh adopters can begin buying and trading more easily. As a result, bitcoin trading volume in Turkey on LocalBitcoins has not increased as much as it has on local exchanges. Bitcoin volume on global peer-to-peer exchanges like LocalBitcoins has not increased as much as local Turkish exchanges in recent ...
