In this new series we will highlight the latest news uncovering the path cryptocurrencies and public blockchain protocols are taking towards mass adoption. There is a prevailing narrative amongst both mainstream critics of and ardent believers in cryptocurrency technology that the value of this digital asset class only lies within the speculative realm where the coins and tokens are traded like securities in a stock market. It is our goal here to show that this reality is quickly changing and evolving into real adoption as new pathways towards use and value exchange are being created and solidified every day. We will chronicle this development every month as we move towards full realization of this new decentralized and empowering ecosystem!
Latest News For February 2018
LITEPAY TO LAUNCH THIS WEEK!
A major game changer for Litecoin, Litepay will be the payment processor for the coin, allowing retailers to use it to accept Litecoin payments on their website and immediately convert to fiat if they so desire. This will bring Litecoin that much closer to competing with the likes of PayPal. And with the Lightning Network just around the corner, we are a huge believer in Litecoin and it's promise for adoption in 2018.COINBASE ADDS PAYMENT GATEWAY AS WELL!
You can now integrate Coinbase's merchant solution and start accepting Bitcoin, Litecoin & Ethereum on your website just like Paypal. This is another big move for crypto as Coinbase is currently the largest retail portal for fiat purchases of the major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Adoption starts to become more and more of a reality when the avenues for transacting with cryptocurrencies don't rely on converting back to fiat. Coinbase gets this and is making moves to also challenge PayPal for the future of internet purchases.INVESTING APP ROBINHOOD HAS 1 MIL ON WAITING LIST FOR CRYPTOS
