Is there anything more annoying than a slow performance of your go-to application? At the time when most people are used to apps that respond quickly, work efficiently, and are updated regularly, market-oriented companies find themselves in a position where they must keep up with the pace or become extinct. For Crypterium, as well as for […]

When you think of Switzerland, what do you think of? Skiing? Chocolate? Cheese? Mountains? Women named Heidi skiing in the mountains while eating chocolate and cheese? Switzerland certainly has all those things, although I’ve yet to meet a Swiss named Heidi (I live in the Italian part so I’m far more likely to meet Giulia). […]

The recurring challenge of social acceptance for witty technological advancements There is such anger and negative sentiment towards cryptocurrency today. Every day I hear some form of witty argument to counter the use and effectiveness of the blockchain technology. With the manner of words expressed today, you would think crypto will fall into obscurity. So the […]

When I first heard of Bitcoin, it sounded like something out of a dystopian sci-fi novel. Digital, cryptographic, uncensorable money?

A few months ago I published an article about the pros and cons of DevOps as a Service. There I mentioned AWS and Google Cloud Platform as the main platforms that are frequently used by DevOps. Why can’t we make a small comparison for them? Sure, there’s also Microsoft Azure among the giants. But I’ll try […]

You know it’s serious when governments get involved. Ever since the incredible run cryptocurrencies had at the end of last year, 2017, the general feeling toward blockchain technology hasn’t been a question of “if”—but “when.” It seems as though 2018 has been the year of preparation.

A conversation with Andreas M. Antonopoulos, author of Mastering Bitcoin and The Internet of Money, one of the world’s leading experts on bitcoin and blockchain. I met Andreas M.
