Holy smokes! What a month! This month alone should give you the utmost confidence that cryptocurrencies are indeed the future. This month we had the Bitcoin halving which turned out to be a fairly non event. What is worthy of note is that Bitcoin has kept it’s value even after the halving giving crypto enthusiasts more confidence to reinvest in decentralised technology. What was meant to be the highlight turn out to be tame in terms of the news cycle.
The DAO hack in June was a shock to the system and the aftermath of those events still carried through to July.
One of the most incredible moments in the crypto occurred this month, in where miners agreed to a hardfork of the Ethereum blockchain. This changes the rules of crypto completely in where things are now never definite. This month our new writer wrote a fantastic piece on the Ethereum hard fork, breaking it down piece by piece.
You may have noticed a change in the cryptocurrency that occupies third place on coinmarketcap.com. Steem after its first payment to contributors shot up like a rocket, from 50,000 satoshis to 500,000 satoshis in almost the blink of an eye. But don’t say I didn’t tell you so, last month Steem CEO was exclusively interviewed before the rally! Just another reason to read this magazine every single month. CORE Media are now putting content onto Steem all revenue is moving through to the CORE Media asset.
Is that an upgrade to CORE Magazine I see? We this month are experimenting with a new graphics designer. Also, for CORE Media and CORE as a whole, we have really been moving forward at a rapid rate. CORE Radio is now more active as ever with some exclusive interviews from JL777 on Iguana, LBRY and ICOcountdown.com. All interviews have been an instant home run. Furthermore, we have the upcoming CORE TV with our new member Christian being Creative Director and Producer.
It is now important, more than ever, to rally behind the crypto cause. Central bankers and politicians around the world are spreading destructive Keynesian ideas; making the case to bail out reckless banks and hedgefunds. This month we saw the ECB considering bailout packages to European banks, with a focus on Italian giants. It’s time we stopped this nonsense and move to move sound money instead of indefinite inflation.
