Market Summary
Market Cap: $98,799,105,617
Not much has changed in the top 20 since this morning as we've seen a bit more money trickle out of the market, and once agian Antshares and Gnosis are the shining stars. We're again under $100B, but I'm sure that won't last too long. As we approach a few key dates, most notable to most August 1st, we should see even more uncertainty. If you're like me you're less worried about the short term and looking forward to the future of the crypto space. PIVX saw some modest gains after their zerocoin protocol breakthrough.

Segwit2x: What you need to know about the 2x Hard Fork (aka 2MB non-Segwit Transaction Capacity per block/8MB Total Block Size Hard Fork)
https://medium.com/@jimmysong/segwit2x-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-2mb-hard-fork-27749e1544ce
Assuming Segwit2x release goes without a hitch, it should be safe to transact until block 494784, which will be when the 2MB hard fork for Segwit2x is expected to occur. This is expected to happen around November 18 and depending on how much of the network (miners, merchants, economic nodes) hard forks and what response Bitcoin Core and some objecting companies may have, this may mean 2 Bitcoins at that point.

WildSpark Beta is Here
https://blog.synereo.com/2017/06/30/wildspark-beta-is-here/
True to the roadmap, today, Friday June the 30th, a select group of first users will start receiving invites to the WildSpark Beta. WildSpark is Synereo’s first stab at democratizing the flow of value online – shifting the balance of power toward content creators and curators, and away from the platforms that host the content. WildSpark is the first product of its kind and so we’ve made conscious decisions with regards to what makes it into the Beta and what features are to be added in the upcoming version(s). There is no playbook to copy here and it’s our job to be build it responsibly from the ground up – adding feature by feature, experimenting, and refining the product until it works for everyone.

The New Numerai Economy
https://forum.numer.ai/t/the-new-numerai-economy/347
Reduce NMR payouts ~90% to NMR 1510 per week and increase staking payouts 3x to USD 3000 per week. These changes will apply immediately to the current Numerai tournament, and all unresolved tournaments as well including all stakes. The goal for Numeraire has always been that it gets used to stake models. These changes encourage data scientists to hold Numeraire, and stake it even more than before. Even with this 90% reduction in Numeraire payouts, the prize pool is still more than 10x higher in USD terms than it was two weeks ago.

Interesting post. Interesting to see I'm not the only one that is thinking about this. The future is in blockchain. The issues is that people don't seem to care about the Trustworthiness of the current cryptos. This also happened in the internet boom. Personally I always use: https://www.coincheckup.com. This site lets you check investment stats, And does a complete background analysis for every single coin. That's tradable on the market.
