Cardano Founder is confident about Cardano’s future in El Salvador, but he says the situation will become apparent in the next two to three weeks.

Previously Cardano had a great partnership with the Ethiopian Government to promote and improve their education system. The second major partnership came when Cardano announced a partnership with Tanzania. IOHK and World Mobile created digital identities, mobile internet connection, and financial acceptance to communities in Tanzania.

In his latest AMA, Hoskinson said that Cardano talks with officials in El Salvador, and a meeting with Nayib Bukele is likely too.

On a question, Any Thoughts on El Salvador? Any communication with the country regarding ADA?

Hoskinson answered:

“Yes, we have been in talks with some officials and parties of El Salvador, and I may do a state visit, sent all the documentation and request for that, to meet the president. We have talked to a few people in that orbit, and they have expressed their interest in digitizing the country and going beyond just legalizing Bitcoin. We would have a better sense in probably the next two to four weeks. If it is a proper state visit, I will have a suit made, look pretty and go over to have some fun.”

If such a visit of Cardano energetic leader become official and seal some deal from El Salvador, it would be gigantic for Cardano and its ecosystem.

But on the other hand, El Salvador is facing a tough time by IMF and World bank because of their recent step of making Bitcoin a legal tender. Therefore, any new deal with any altcoin may not be an easy decision for El Salvador’s top management.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Thoughts on Mcafee Death

Cardano Pioneer expressed his thoughts and emotions on Jhon Mcafee death in his latest video.


Summary Of Charles Hoskinson Thoughts on Jhon Death:

“I just got the news from El mundo which is a large newspaper over in spain and it looks like Reuters is starting to confirm it that today john mcafee killed himself.

Mcafee is one of the most enigmatic and interesting people in the cryptocurrency space and in the history of computing.

He was 75 years old and Mcafee was a pioneer in the early days for antivirus software. which is where many people know his name mcafee antivirus still floats around.

At this point he was also a deeply troubled person his father killed himself when i think mcafee was about 15 years old, there was numerous issues with substance abuse and alcohol and he lived an incredibly colorful life.

After he sold his company he went into a variety of lifestyle businesses from running around the jungles of belize looking for alternatives to antibiotics,  fighting with the government, many girlfriends, he was a character unto himself.

When he decided to change industries and enter our industry (Crypto) it was a really unique moment where he had an opportunity to reinvent himself in a new way as this industry tends to do for people.

stromgain

Unfortunately his demons got the best of him and instead of building businesses he made the decision to let his vices and desire overcome him and he got involved in all kinds of things such as advertising icos or tokens pay-to-play type of things.

I personally met john Mcafee i met him in Malta years ago at a conference people deeply engaged with him and he had a huge personality.

The nature of suicide is still yet not completely confirmed but it looks like it’s the case, because one of the largest newspapers in Spain and US media is starting to already say that it happened. USD department of justice has also confirmed the death. 

The reasons for the suicide seemed self-evident. Mcafee was 75 years old and the extradition to the US was approved. He was looking at over 30 years in jail if convicted, so it seems that he decided to choose ending his life.

A lot of people who have these crazy annex are deeply complicated and hurt in some way and mental health is just as important as physical health and a proper balance of these things is often underappreciated when one is an entrepreneur.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Mcafee had demons that he couldn’t resolve, however for every Mcafee that we know there are dozens that we don’t know and every time an event like this happens it’s an opportunity for us to reflect on that reality and understand that society needs to be more accommodating and society needs to be a bit better at intervening and helping those who need that help.

Macfee story has come to an end, so the burden is upon us now to find meaning in it and the burden is upon us now to figure out a way to move forward and hopefully gain some wisdom.

Rest in peace john, we’ll miss you and i’ll miss you.“

Unfortunately Eloise did not got her money back.

“I can’t stress enough how important it is to check everything over and over, she said. You’re not being silly for being careful.Just look what happened to me.”

“I can’t believe there are people who could do this to a pregnant woman. How do they sleep at night?”

Eloise advise all new comers to be very careful when investing in crypto.

IOTA Is Mentioned in Latest Patent Application of British Biotech Giant Leica Biosystems

British Biotech Giant Leica Biosystems, recently published patent application titled “Immutable-Ledger-Based Workflow Management For Patient Samples” has mentioned IOTA blockchain.

 

New Leica’s patent concerns the workflow of the management of samples obtained during microscopic studies.

Leica notes that immutable ledgers are a promising tool used to manage digital assets. In particular, the use of a modification-resistant ledger implemented as a blockchain or directed acyclic graph (DAG) provides accurate and efficient asset tracking.

This technology can also be used with samples, which lately can be used to identify pathogens, make diagnoses, archiving, and other medical purposes.

strom gain

The authors of the patent application note that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which regulates individually identifiable health information assumes that health information related to patients’ specimens shouldn’t be public. A blockchain is a great tool for ensuring privacy specimen tracking.

IOTA Role

The workflow management system based on an immutable ledger for patient samples (for example, tissue samples) can use a directed acyclic graph (DAG), which is a hierarchy of nodes without any cycles.

 

It is designed to work with huge arrays of information. If the network size is small, DAGs are more vulnerable compared to classic blockchains. To add a transaction to a DAG, a user must approve two randomly chosen unconfirmed transactions. In such a system, native tokens can be used, in particular, an example of such use can be IOTA in Tangle.

Canada 3iQ Bitcoin Fund Listed On Nasdaq Dubai

3iQ launched bitcoin fund trading on Nasdaq Dubai after receiving regulatory approval for dual listing in April. With the help of the 3iQ Bitcoin Fund, Dubai investors will be able to access the crypto asset without buying BTC directly. The dual listing of the 3iQ bitcoin fund allows investors to swap assets between Nasdaq Dubai and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE).


Canada largest digital asset investment fund manager, 3iQ, is expanding its reach to global investors by listing its public bitcoin fund (BTC) in a major market in the Middle East.

3iQ has deployed its Bitcoin Fund (QBTC) to trade on Nasdaq Dubai. Trading began on Wednesday at 10:00 am Dubai time.

3iQ received regulatory approval for a dual listing of the Bitcoin Fund on Nasdaq Dubai in April 2021, with plans to begin trading in the second quarter. 3iQ CEO said the company is also in talks with other exchanges in Singapore, Taiwan, Sweden and the United States to list the fund.

The launch of the fund comes at a time when Bitcoin (BTC) and the general cryptocurrency market are facing severe turbulence and volatility. On Tuesday June 22nd, the BTC price dropped to a low of $ 29,000. However, 3iQ CEO, Frederic Pye, is confident about the future of Bitcoin.

“We could be in for another correction, or most likely the markets consolidate over the summer and then the markets again will go to an all-time-high on Bitcoin, if you believe in the thesis. That means investors in Dubai are going to be in a perfect position to make some money, which is a win, win, win situation.”

With this dual listing 3iQ Bitcoin fund in Canada as well as the UAE, investors can easily transfer funds from the Toronto Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Dubai. In addition, investors from any region can directly purchase shares of bitcoin funds on other exchanges.

Pye added:

“It’s extraordinary access for investors in Dubai to be able to just go to the Dubai Nasdaq, in their time slot, and buy something that shows up in their investment account like any other security would.

The ease of transaction, the ease of moving in and out, is absolutely wonderful with this listed security, yet up until now they were only able to do these listed securities by waiting for North American hours.”


3iQ is one of the biggest crypto companies in Canada. In January 2018 3iQ became the first cryptocurrency regulated by the Canadian Securities Administrators, and Ontario Securities Commission.
