[Yves La Rose @YvesLaRose]

On behalf of #EOS Network Ventures, I am pleased to announce that we have completed a strategic investment into Spirit Blockchain Capital!

Furthermore, ENV has secured a board seat, and will take an active role in SBC’s strategic direction with a focus on leveraging the EOS Network for RWA tokenization through their portfolio companies.

The SBC team is extremely well connected, and they’re licensed for RWA's in Canada, Dubai and Switzerland.

What SBC needed was an enterprise-grade blockchain to partner with to facilitate their push into RWA’s and that’s exactly where EOS will help.

$EOS now has partners across the world - whether it’s in Canada, Japan, Dubai, Turkey, Hong Kong or elsewhere - that are committed to leveraging the EOS Network to offer a wide range of financial services.

We are excited to show the world what an enterprise-grade blockchain is capable of!

EOS 🤝 SBC

THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BITCOIN AND MYSPACE

I wrote for the blog about why it will be hard for a "better Bitcoin" to come along, in part because Bitcoin's only real aspiration is to exist and to be stable.

If you‘re new to crypto, here‘s to parse news like these:

1) Crypto sucks for everyday payments. Nobody uses it for that. Nobody wants to use it for that. This is common knowledge

2) Companies list crypto payment options anyway to generate free attention

[Manuel Troy @_manutroy]

@mkrohn5 I guess there’s only an approximation of what the Bitcoin network actually looks like simply because it was designed with privacy in mind. @StopAndDecrypt‘s 2018 piece probably still has one the best illustrations conceptionally.
