EOS Blockchain Community is Cooperating with Google Cloud
There is also invited Goldman Sachs veteran to be the lead of Block One's advisory board. Google Cloud is cooperating with the EOS blockchain association with the purpose to become a block producer. This would expect the permission of the EOS community. EOS, which has been criticized for unnecessary centralization, has 21 block producers altogether. https://preview.redd.it/42h7l6u9utr51.jpg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cc0c24424b5b52caa948385202fdf87ea7eaf97 In the firm press statement, Google Cloud developer and advocate, Allen Day, is quoted verifying that his business is beginning the process of coming to a block producer:
“As organizations begin to incorporate distributed ledger technology into their infrastructures, we are committed to ensuring that the information on public blockchains are securely stored, reliably available, and can be accessed in meaningful ways.”
In a similar report, CEO of Block One, Brendan Blumer purported that EOS is liable for the majority of known blockchain action, though he didn't define the principles through which he gave that summing-up:
“With the majority of global public blockchain activity, EOS is a powerful solution for anyone looking to leverage the decentralized ecosystem with ease".

P-REP Proposal; ICON, 20% exposure in top crypto event of 2020, reach 100+ universities/corporate partners (BETTER THAN SLICED BREAD), organized by MouseBelt.
Summary: Event site:https://www.ri2020.io/ Event date: May 18th, 2020 P-PREP Commitment Date: April 30th, 2020 Telegram:u/markusreisner We believe we have a strong proposition to market ICON in a meaningful way to some of the largest communities in crypto. The MouseBelt team has the largest global network of over 100+ universities in 20+ countries. Over the last few months, 10+ university blockchain events we were working with got canceled for obvious reasons. Due to that fact, and our understanding of our reach we decided to launch a virtual conference. Since April 10th here is what happened:
We have enrolled over 100+ partners and universities
With BlockTV’s distribution (we are taking over the site for 1+ months) and our post-conference strategy, this content will reach 5+ million views
Over 5000 people have registered between Eventbrite and Facebook (with 21 days to go, we expect 20,000 people registered)
We have invested $70,000 to professionally produce this 72-hour event with BlockTV
We believe we have surpassed Cointelegraph and Consensus in reach and production quality.
We believe this is the #1 conference in crypto currently.
MouseBelt will invest over $70k+ into this event. We would like to have fellow P-Reps invest $20k (this will go 100% to BlockTV production cost). The benefit to the ICON community will be:
Owning 20% of the conference “screen time” at a 50% discount
Increased exposure to over 100+ top universities working on blockchain
Partnership with Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Coca Cola for one of our hackathon events (or similar).
We are open to adding as many additional benefits as possible as we are a part of the ICON community
Background: MouseBelt is a popular blockchain ecosystem consisting of multiple parts:
Top 3 global blockchain accelerator, investing into early to mid-stage blockchain projects
MouseBelt as ICON developers: Our engineering team has implemented token assets on ZenSports (SPORTS), the first STO on the ICON network, and GrowYourBase, the #1 IRC2 application token in market capitalization on the ICON network. Currently, we are developing the Balanced network in concert with ICX_Station, PARROT9, and Iconosphere. Balanced will bring synthetic assets backed by ICX to the ICON network, as well as tokenized staked ICX. This can assist with both a stable asset for payments, and a base for other DeFi applications MouseBelt as a P-Rep: We have been a Main P-Rep most of the time since decentralization of the network and so far had utilized our funds for student education. Such as the “ICON in a box” workshops and the Milwaukee Blockchain Conference, which we sponsored in a direct ICX payment and the second annual payment for UCLA’s blockchain engineering course. REIMAGINE2020, Conference details: Conferences have always been an integral part of the blockchain space to promote projects in the industry. With recent evolutions around the globe, things have changed. They either got canceled or delayed. We have created REIMAGINE2020, a virtual conference. Shared by the ICON Foundation on April 18. We can effectively and efficiently promote ICON to the world through Reiamgine2020 | BlockTV. The driving force behind the conference is: highest quality of Content matched with the best production quality for Video. The funds will allow MouseBelt to promote ICON logo/branding throughout the conference/programming for straight 72 hr of live streaming. Additionally, we have the opportunity to properly place ICON logo/branding in highly favorable on-screen placements (tickers/commercials/plugs and continuous branding) reaching 5M viewers globally. ICX Station is providing a Keynote to drive global interest. Confirmed partners
Ing, Boeing, Coca Cola, AB Inbev, (in discussion with 20+ more over the next 3 weeks)

I've been following crypto for a number of years now, and am reading up again on the Tether controversy. Came across this this article from Bitfinex'ed this morning, and I'm wondering about your thoughts. Specifically, what do you think about the following claim:
Brock Pierce also agrees with me, that Bitcoin needed Tether for some reason… to break $2K (which also agrees with my original guess that the price of Bitcoin would stall around $1,947.) I didn’t expect them to get away with printing billions of Tethers to inflate the markets for so long.
Honestly, been trying to buy back in here and there, but the fact that the market crashed in January, Bitconnect went down, but Tether is still around alarms me. I'm trying to think of the most plausible best-case scenarios for Tether, and all I see is a crash tumbling BTC well below $5k and everything along with it. There's been talk (unsubstantiated, but there's been talk) about Binance, and market manipulation apart from Tether. Just 2 days ago, another article said:
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who was speaking at a CoinDesk conference in Singapore, declined to comment on the New York regulator’s report. However, he seemed unperturbed by the news. He told conference attendees that the exchange, after making $350 million in profit in the first half of the year, is seeking to add trading for five to 10 fiat currencies within the next 12 months—but probably not in North America. He was mobbed by fans as he left the stage, spurring conference organizers to consider calling security. Kraken CEO Jesse Powell previously said that market manipulation “doesn’t matter” to crypto traders, and that the notion of manipulation is really a “euphemism for mind control.” The New York Attorney General’s report said these responses were “alarming.” Kraken couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Honestly, I don't give a shit about most of these coins, I'm only after day-trading ETH and holding XMR for the long term, but I find it kinda alarming to hear this stuff, and put off from buying in (even at these discounts!) when so many expected Tether's collapse in 2018. I used Gemini a while back, and respected their work. But now they're trading the Gemini Dollar on HitBTC of all places, which annoys me too. Thoughts?
Since Binance decided to delist BSV, with CEO Chanpeng CZ Zhao writing very heavy words against project co-founder Craig Wright, a real ongoing struggle between the two began. The hatred between the two seems to be mutual, and also involves the other co-founder of the Bitcoin SV project, Calvin Ayre, who is also the owner of Coingeek.com.
