This episode of Blockchain Token - Which is it? covers Cardano!
Cardano is a platform not too different from Ethereum, except it uses a layered network to process transactions. Additionally the philisophy is slightly different. Cardano bills itself as a science based cryptocurrency that uses peer reviewed academic research to expand the project.
Cardano is being developed in two layers that separate the ledger of account values from the reason why values are moved from one account to the other, aka transactions. This separation enables the smart contracts that are written on the platform to be more flexible.

Big Data Block is changing the future of big data processing by combining open source software that connects massive networks of computers to orchestrate large tasks, and the decentralized nodes of a global blockchain network.
Big data analysis is currently only available to large organizations capable of building massive large scale data computing environments which are prohibitively expensive to build, run, and maintain. BDB removes all of the headaches associated with big data processing by using blockchain technology to spread the computing burden across computers within BDB’s ecosystem.

This episode of Blockchain Token - Which is it? covers NXT! In this series, we will cover the different types of blockchain platforms and cryptocurrencies on the market right now. We’ll give you a quick description of each blockchain/token, its function, who is their competition and where you can learn more.
Nxt is an open source blockchain platform. Using the Bitcoin blockchain as their main inspiration, they have labeled themselves "blockchain 2.0". They have identified some problems with Bitcoin's blockchain, and have created a platform in response. Blockchain technology was primarily used to track the transaction and creation of cryptocurrencies. But, the creators of Nxt saw the potential to use blockchain technology for something much more by adding multiple core-level features.
The NXT blockchain is not just limited to the NXT token. The platform allows you to create your own asset based on the NXT chain. NXT uses an open API that encourages developers to work off of their platform and build new chains off of the main platform. This flexibility allows tokens to be developed off of the main chain, and actually be their own blockchain stemming from NXT, known as child chains. One of the fist and most popular assets on NXT is Ardor, which we covered previously on this series, check below for the link!

Anyone that is even a little bit familiar with cryptocurrencies knows just how volatile they can be. Extreme swings are the rule not the exception in this market. Volatility is not necessarily a bad thing, but right now it is impeding the use of crypto as a whole.
Currently, cryptocurrencies act more like speculative investments instead of a currency or an asset. It’s difficult to use crypto when its value may drop drastically before you can exchange it for a bagel and coffee or even a cryptokitty. On the other hand, many people are tempted to “hodl” on for dear life hoping for the possibility that their investment will greatly increase in value in the future. Hodling is great, but it doesn’t help with the adoption of decentralized systems. People actually need to put their crypto to use.
One potential solution to dealing with the extreme swings cryptocurrencies are prone to are Stablecoins.
So what is a stablecoin? The answer is right there in the name; these are cryptocurrencies that have their price stabilized by being pegged to FIAT currency like USD or the EURO. This allows stablecoins to have the versatility of a cryptocurrency, but are still practical for everyday use.
