    Thought leadership - why it’s the key to cryptocurrency marketing

    As many in the industry know, the reality of the situation is, it's not the next feature that's going to make the difference. It's the core problem or the underlying need that a startup is solving that makes the difference.

This is how the blockchain industry starts to evolve.

    Although the crypto community and the art world might seem like an unlikely pair, this unique relationship is in full blossom. As explained by Art Basel back in the early 90s, many artists were too involved in the internet culture and then became disappointed by the space; “they saw the internet’s early promise of a decentralized, transparent, democratic space invaded by corporations and mass surveillance.” Now, blockchain holds the promise to bring those values back.

    These 24 ICOs raised $2.8 Billion. They have almost 0 trading volume.
