Trading by Copying Others

The cryptocurrency offering by Israel-based Etoro, which already has 10 million users from more than 140 countries, allows U.S. investors access to crypto markets in three ways. First, by manually investing in a coin, secondly by automatically copying the trades of others on the platform to benefit from their knowledge and investment expertise, and thirdly by investing in its Crypto Copyfund, “which provides a diversified portfolio of major crypto assets.”

Yoni Assia, chief executive officer of Etoro, stated that users can “collaborate with other crypto traders when making buying and selling decisions [as well as] adjust their trading strategies by watching and learning from others on the platform.” Experienced traders can be copied and rewarded for their performance, but only after sufficient risk analysis and evaluation, Assia explained.

Customers of Etoro outside the United States are currently able to trade in more than 1,500 asset classes and markets including stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, and commodities, Techcrunch reported.

Etoro operates as a trading platform, social network and educational resource, allowing anyone to see, comment and copy from the trade history of others before actually making their own investment. Users are also able to share, engage with or follow particular individuals, assets or markets, allowing them to take part in emerging debates aligned to their areas of interest.

Etoro’s Multisig Crypto Wallet

Within the U.S., the company has also launched its multi-signature digital crypto wallet where users can store, send and receive several cryptocurrencies including BTC, BCH and XRP. Through their Etoro accounts, customers can now transfer crypto to and from their trading account and can also “convert between different coins with a click of a button,” the company revealed. Etoro is planning to add further currencies to its crypto wallet.

Etoro, which is entering into a market dominated by the likes of Coinbase and Robinhood, said it is not put off by the so-called crypto winter, and is entering the U.S. market with a long-term view. Assia, the company CEO, told Techcrunch:

When I founded Etoro, I envisioned a community where people could trade, invest and share their knowledge in a simple and transparent way. Etoro also acts as a bridge between the old world of investing and a blockchain-powered future, helping our users navigate and benefit from the transition to crypto assets for wealth building.

Etoro first announced its planned expansion into the cut-throat US. market in May 2018.

Scaling Bitcoin Releases This Year’s Program and a New Developer Bootcamp

Scaling Bitcoin Just Released This Year’s Program and a New Developer Bootcamp

Today, Scaling Bitcoin, the international engineering conference focused on bitcoin and blockchain research, released its program for the 2017 edition. The conference, to be held in Stanford, California, in the first weekend of November, will also introduce a new side event this year: Bitcoin Edge, a bootcamp for starting bitcoin developers.

“The program is extremely interesting because it delivers cutting edge research on different blockchain scalability approaches, fungibility, consensus, data propagation, alternative techniques for handling blockchains and many other topics,” said Anton Yemelyanov, chair of the Scaling bitcoin Planning Committee.

Scaling bitcoin Stanford

After events in Montreal, Hong Kong and Milan, the fourth edition of the Scaling bitcoin conference is taking place at Stanford University on November 4 and 5 of this year.

Where the first two editions of Scaling bitcoin were mainly focused on scaling and scalability, the third edition broadened the scope of the conference to include a more diverse set of topics. This trend will continue in Stanford, where talks will range from highly technical topics concerning privacy and fungibility, to fee markets and fee estimation, censorship resistance and more.

bitcoin is the origin of all distributed ledger technology,” said Yemelyanov. “Scaling bitcoin has been fortunate to act as a vehicle for bringing the audience technologies such as Segregated Witness and MimbleWimble, all of which have been adopted or incorporated into various blockchain projects. We hope that other material presented by our participants will be of similar value and help the industry advance the research and development of blockchains.”

Yemelyanov added that another key goal for Scaling bitcoin conferences is to bring engineers and other technical minds together in a physical space where they can discuss their work in person.

“It is through collaboration where a lot of ideas are born and have potential of becoming reality,” he said.

In addition to the conference itself, Scaling bitcoin is also introducing a two-day technical bootcamp for experienced developers getting into bitcoin: bitcoin Edge.

This nonprofit initiative is an effort to help scale the development capacity of the industry, Yemelyanov explained:

“One of the approaches of helping the industry scale is to scale the much needed development capacity of the industry. There is a clear talent deficit and we are trying to help all industry participants by running a nonprofit workshop that will allow developers to gain complete understanding of primitives that comprise bitcoin and blockchains in general and be able to start working in this field.”

bitcoin Edge will be led by well-known bitcoin developers and academics Anditto Heristyo, Ethan Heilman, John Newbery, Karl-Johan Alm, Nicolas Dorier, Thaddeus Dryja and Jimmy Song. They’ll introduce participants to a range of technical bitcoin-related topics, including Elliptic Curve cryptography, transaction structures, difficulty calculation and adjustments, and much more.

This workshop will take place on the November 2 and 3. For more information on the bitcoin Edge initiative, visit bitcoinedge.org.
