In this episode of WTF is, we cover the difference between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.
Blockchain and cryptocurrency are some big words being thrown around more and more recently. Blockchains and cryptocurrencies kind of go hand in hand with one another, but they do have some big differences too.
Part of the confusion around what is blockchain versus what is cryptocurrency is due in part that the terms have come into use. Instead of being introduced by formal definition, the term blockchain developed from “chain of blocks.” Cryptocurrency is a sort-of portmanteau of “cryptographic currency.” But the fundamental difference between these concepts has to do with how distributed ledger technology is used. Our video gives you the run down!

In this episode of WTF is, we cover airdrops!
Airdrops are a method of token distribution. Tokens represent rights to use the service or software, and are randomly handed out by developers to promote their projects.
Once the token shows up in your address you can use it, sell it, or hold it. It’s up to you. This unique way of distributing tokens is becoming more popular, as regulations are currently targeting ICOs.

Fidelity is the 4th largest asset management firm in the world and managed over 2.4 trillion dollars last year. Now they are taking their talents to the blockchain!
It would be fair to say fidelity is one of the most forward thinking financial managers when it comes to the blockchain and cryptocurrency. All the way back in 2015 they saw the potential of cryptocurrency, which led them to trademark the term “FidelityCoin”. When 2017 saw the rise of Bitcoin, fidelity was one of the first financial managers to list a bitcoin price index on their website.
Fidelity is following the model of Circle and now Coinbase who is now seeking full SEC recognition. Check out what this means for cryptocurrency!
