Crypto Ramble

World Economic Forum Davos 2020 On Digital Currencies

The World Economic Forum met this month to talk about many things, including discussing the future of digital currencies on a global level, and providing a toolkit to help central banks decide if it makes sense to build their own.

Can state issued currencies continue to exist in a new digital form without destroying the peer-to-peer dream of money?

Peter Schiff Bitcoin Mistake

Peter Schiff claimed that he lost his Bitcoin about 2 days ago, thinking his Blockchain.com wallet was a Bitcoin wallet. I know Peter Schiff hates on Bitcoin and incorrectly blamed Bitcoin for his mistake, but it's a mistake that many people are going to make.
