Silk Road: A Curious Case

A year has passed since Mr. Ross Ulbricht’s… release. One finds oneself revisiting this particular saga, one of the more unsettlingly fascinating footnotes in the burgeoning history of cryptocurrency. Ulbricht, a figure once deeply entrenched in a decentralized online marketplace, the aforementioned Silk Road, has once more found himself bathed in the rather harsh glare of the crypto-sphere’s attention. A rather colorful bloom, wouldn’t you agree?

Crypto’s Doomsday Clock?

You see, these clever clogs at Coinbase are getting the jitters. They’ve noticed that fancy-pants future technologies could, and I quote, “impact digital asset security.” Honestly, you’d think they’d have considered this before leaping into the world of digital doohickeys! But no. Better late than never, I suppose. So, they’ve formed a special committee – a Quantum Advisory Board, no less. Sounds terribly important, doesn’t it? Like something out of a spy movie.

Japan’s Rates: A Crypto Catastrophe?

One wonders if they even consulted a soothsayer, or merely tossed a koi fish and interpreted its trajectory. The implications, they say, are significant for the digital realm.

XRP’s $5T Banking Coup: Your Job Is in Peril, Steve

So there’s this company called Ripple, and they’ve partnered with another company named DXC (yes, they also sound like something you’d do to a printer). Together, they’re slapping XRP (a cryptocurrency, if you weren’t paying attention) into banking networks that oversee $5 trillion. Because nothing says “innovation” like shoehorning blockchain into systems built before your parents were cool.

Pokemon GO Reveals Carnival of Flamigo Event Details

Since launching in July 2016, Pokemon GO has consistently added new Pokemon to its collection. Although the game doesn’t include all Pokemon, it boasts hundreds for players to catch. However, with so many already added, Scopely is starting to run low on Pokemon to include. For instance, they’ve added all available Pokemon from the first three generations.
