Huawei is putting blockchain into the stratosphere

-

 
At its 2019 “Cloud Summit” industry conference in Hong Kong, Huawei unveiled a new blockchain-based cloud service.
Huawei Cloud now offers blockchain oriented services designed to help Hong Kong-based businesses make use of the decentralized platform’s typical characteristics. These being, decentralization, immutability, and traceability (transparency).
Huawei hopes this will aid the Chinese province’s mission to become an international financial and logistics hub.
Specific details of the blockchain service have not been disclosed. But given the wording used to promote the new offering it will be a form of privatized, permissioned ledger designed for corporate clients.
It shouldn’t be entirely surprising that Huawei‘s cloud division has got into the blockchain game. Late last year, Huawei featured as one of the founding telecom members in an “industry specific group” setup to explore the viability and potential of blockchain technologies for various industries.
Corporate applications of blockchain have become increasingly common in recent years. Everyone from Microsoft, to Amazon, to IBM, to Intel is finding a way to get into the blockchain game. It should be noted that while they often promise decentralization, immutability, and transparency, the specific application of these characteristics can vary wildly from platform to platform.
Hard Fork will be following Huawei Cloud’s use of blockchain and will report back with more details as soon as these are revealed.

Moris Beracha.-  Bitcoin is an increasingly payment option in real estate in the United States. By the end of the year, some 75 properties in the United States, particularly in South Florida and California, were sold using cryptocurrency. "Bitcoin accepted" is a message now seen in the descriptions of homes for sale in Miami. The use of Bitcoin in the real estate market is still a bold idea. One of the reasons is that real estate agents are skeptical due to the volatility of the currency. The cryptocurrency is unpredictable, after hitting almost $ 20,000 a token in December and falling precipitously at Christmas, at the year’s start it was around $ 14,000 dollars. The trend in the real estate sector "seems to be led by international investors who are avoiding inefficient banking systems and exchange controls at home, as well as by American enthusiasts of the cryptocurrency," said Charles Evan, an economist and bitcoin expert of Barry University in Florida
