This episode of Blockchain Token - Which is it? features Decred!
Decred is a decentralized currency similar to bitcoin. In fact it was created by some of the original developers of bitcoin. They thought that bitcoin miners had too much control and therefore disproportionate control over the network. As a result, they went out to build a cryptocurrency that would give users and miners the same amount of influence. Their goal is to have a completely decentralized self governing cryptocurrency that is shaped by community input.

This episode of Blockchain Token - What is it? covers Aelf. Aelf is a platform for cloud based decentralized computing.
Got a task your computer doesn't have the processing power to complete? Then Aelf's distributed supercomputing could be right for you! As opposed to a cloud based server, information is distributed across the network. Instead of one point of attack for malicious actors, they would have to hijack over 50% of the network, making it extremely difficult for the network to be hacked.
Is Aelf the next evolution of super computing? Watch the video to find out!
Hey everyone, this is Sam from Blockchain.wtf and today we're going over Aelf. No not the Will Ferrell movie, or the Aelf on the shelf. No, instead this Aelf is a platform for cloud based decentralized computing. That's a pretty vague statement, so lets break it down for you.
Traditionally, you would conduct all your computing on a laptop. Simple. However, there are some issues that could arise if you are only using a personal computer. I know I've run into a few problems where my computer wasn't up to snuff, I needed more storage or processing power.

Wondering about the difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin? Get the answer with our resident expert, Taylor Gerring. Taylor dives into the two most prevalent blockchains, Ethereum and Bitcoin and the unique fuctions and purposes of each platform.
What’s the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum?
As you may know by now, Bitcoin with the first and original cryptocurrency. Several years passed before other blockchains came about. One of the first was Litecoin. Today, one of the most popular next-generation blockchain projects is Ethereum. Ethereum allows for value transfer online. However, their main goal is to comprise the backbone of an improved internet, called “web3”.
Does that make Bitcoin irrelevant?
No, Bitcoin is designed to be used as a currency or store of value. Ethereum is a world computer designed to run smart contracts. There many tokens used in different networks which do different things.
So, should I hold both bitcoin and ethereum tokens?
Diversification is always good from an investment standpoint. Beyond that, it’s a bit like rooting for a team or belonging to a group. Each has its benefits and drawbacks. When you own a token, you become part of that network and ecosystem.
What’s the next step for Bitcoin?
