With Blockchain one can ascertain proof-of-work and proof-of-authorship if they upload their work. www.theexchange.africa

One arrow in a pirating scheme quiver is the false claim to work or authorship or ownership.  With Blockchain one can ascertain proof-of-work and proof-of-authorship if they upload their work, comply with Blockchain agreements and get their digital certificate which includes a private key, kind of a personal signature.

Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany - April 17, 2018: Many coins of various cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies and the technology that enables them, blockchain, are here and they are here to stay.

They are not a fad. If there are circles, and there are many circles for that matter who still view them as a passing fad, then they are a fad that has been around for just over 14 years.

Cryptocurrency’s longevity so far and its now widespread innovation, however, should not be taken as a ringing endorsement.

A loose definition of cryptocurrency is that it is a virtual currency designed to revolutionize peer to peer transactions without the need for an intermediary like a bank or a credit card agency, the exchange of personal information and or transaction…
