Today's Blockchain Times had some incredible reads. In #news, we learned that #Google is planning its own distributed ledger-like system, Coinbase had a bug that allowed users to give themselves unlimited #ETH, Ripple is confident they'll enter #China this year, and #Cryptokitties -- yes, Cryptofrickingkitties -- raised $12 million from Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures. Finally, did you know blockchain #patent filings spiked like the #devil last year?
In crypto-analysis, the best read of the day is by far from CB Insights (and anything from CB Insights is a darn good read) about how the blockchain could disrupt the #insurance industry.
Other awesome analyses include:
- Why the #Fed should consider digital cash
- Why #crypto-investors should watch the Fed
- How the #IRS views virtual currency
- Why #regulation could reduce #cryptocurrency volatility
- What the #hell is wrong with Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin?
- How the blockchain can solve the biggest problems of the #art world
- Can blockchain prevent #bank #fraud?
