Mithril has announced their plans for the second quarter of the year, with the biggest news being the intended launch of their VAULT mobile app which will look to improve the on-the-go experience for VAULT users, in a key development in their ecology.

Mithril has been leading the industry in social media and crypto cooperation, now with their plans for the future, they look set for even greater success in 2019. The VAULT app will also come alongside new features for their VAULT and a commitment to continue the growth of partners who have Mithril token acceptance and improving the real-world usability of their token.



The first quarter of the year has seen big steps forward for the “Mithril mining” company led by Jeffrey Huang, with partnerships with more and more varied outlets for the usage of their MITH tokens.

More recently, they proposed plans to partner with a bubble tea company and have joined hands with the worldwide leader in mobile amateur adult entertainment, SWAG, who accepts MITH as payment. Other partners include, Accupass, the biggest online ticketing platform in Asia that processes over 10,000 events annually.

The upcoming VAULT app is without a doubt the highlight of the groups' progression and according to Mithril, once the app is online, users will be able to manage a select set of crypto assets conveniently on VAULT App, in addition, to easily paying via MITH and other cryptos at partner locations and applications.

We are excited to see what the rest of 2019 brings, but by the looks of things, it is going to be great for Mithril and its users.

In this 21st century, we have experienced tremendous changes, which have affected the financial, technology, business, and educational markets. Since the inception of cryptocurrency, new opportunities have continued to unfold and taking advantage of these opportunities to change trends and build on innovation shouldn’t be taken for granted. To help teachers, we have decided to use the Blockchain as a profitable tool to assist teachers, who have contributed greatly to the world. Our platform is aimed at helping teachers plan for retirement, sharing specialist resources, and storing professional lesson plans for them. We understand the important role teachers play in the world, which is why we decided to value and support them. Our team comprises of educators, administrators, managers, and leaders, with more than 25 years’ experience in the educational industry.

How Does Teacher Coin work?

Teacher Coin (TCH) takes advantage of the digital and verifiable feature of the blockchain to solve complications teachers face. Furthermore, it will disrupt the entry barriers to the retirement market by eliminating the fine print. Interestingly, we have removed the complex and confusing terminologies used by many financial institutions to deceive investors through our TCH Smart Contracts. In simple terms, the TCH Smart Contract contains the contract, amount of investment, years, and payment structure. Through our blockchain-based TCH Smart Contracts, we offer transparency and accountability in such a way that no other technology has offered.
Through our TCH Smart Contracts, we offer:

•   An immutable ledger, which provides permanent verification of previous transactions
•   Storage of all retirement product events in a permanent and easy to retrieve system
•   An open source to all your retirement packages, funds, and transactions

Through the combination of anonymity, decentralized encryption, immutability, and the Teacher Coin, we will generate the ultimate platform for the education industry that will provide educational support and secure retirement packages for all educators in the world.

Why Teacher Coin?

•   We support the Blockchain community
•   We give our members a voice
•   Our platform is open source and we are transparent
•   We seek to create a retirement ecosystem
•   We are innovative with a groundbreaking platform

Teacher Coin (TCH) has partnered with Pacific Prime to arrange a personalized insurance package specifically tailored to the needs of teachers and administrators around the globe providing them with world class Health Insurance.

Cryptocurrency for Teachers

Our aim of developing the Teacher Coin is to provide an easy to understand, a low cost, and a transparent package for educators. The platform gives them the opportunity to buy and sell high-quality educational resources using a simple and transparent mechanism. The retirement aspect of the platform will modernize how things are done in our current retirement industry. Our platform will make retirement fully verifiable because it is built on a system of trust between retirement advisors and teachers. Furthermore, we know that the blockchain technology holds an immutable ledger and contacts, which can accommodate the storing and recording of all Teacher Coin retirement contracts easily. Teacher Coin is the first company designed to leverage the smart contracts by creating a retirement system for teachers throughout the world using the blockchain.

Teacher Coin (TCH) Token Distribution

The TCH is the token that powers and incentivizes the users in the Teacher Coin community. You can use the TCH to exchange other fiat currencies such as EUR, USD, and JPY as long as it is within the jurisdictions where such exchange is legal. Additionally, you can exchange it with other cryptocurrencies such as Ripple, Ether, and Bitcoin. The expected value of 1TCH is equivalent to 0.05USD. The maximum supply of the Teacher Coin will be 500,000,000 after which there won’t be any further production of the TCH tokens. The token is created using the ERC-20 Token smart contract. As part of our way of ensuring that our dream is realized, we have started trading TCH on the Token Store, where its current value is about $0.00004601. To ensure effective competition against other tokens and coins, our energetic team is working around the clock to ensure that the token is listed on other world class exchanges before the year runs out.

Conclusion

The Teacher Coin seeks to reform, modify, and innovate the educational industry by offering a specifically tailored cryptocurrency for teachers. The TCH is a utility token, which affords teachers the opportunity to invest in any retirement package that suits them while selling and buying resources globally. We have designed a unique platform to give to the teachers, who have dedicated their lives to this noble profession to shape the future and character of our children. Teachers ignite imagination, arouse hope, and install a love for learning. The Teacher coin platform is giving back to teachers to help them succeed in their quest.

Every day, new blockchain applications keep emerging. Many companies have taken the clue to implement blockchain and utilizing the benefits it all bring. The blockchain technology deals with peer-to-peer data connection while providing a decentralized network for everyone to use. Although it started with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, however, industries such as supply chain, insurance, banking, healthcare, and telecommunication can use it to increase their efficiency.

Nevertheless, Quanta Networks is geared toward challenging the conventional communications architecture in place by introducing a facility free, secure, and tower free telecom based Blockchain ecosystem while sidestepping the insecurity and inefficiencies that exist in the current system.

How Does Quanta Work?

Quanta is a new telecom technology, which works like Uber. Quanta is like Uber, which is into the transportation business but does not own a single vehicle. The model of the business is based on enabling and making efficient use of surplus or unused resources. In a similar manner, Quanta create network connections in areas with available bandwidth by improving part of the network traffic. It is redirected in order to improve connectivity and speed while allowing the devices to create a communication network on its own through its own available bandwidth. What this means is that Quanta is creating a better network whereby users do not have to buy any bandwidth like what Uber is doing.

The aim of the platform is to build a decentralized telecommunication ecosystem. The platform will change and disrupt the telecommunication industry by enabling network users to have a peer-to-peer connection. This allows a more secure, faster, and affordable means of communication between human and machine.

Features of Quanta Network

The Quanta Network has amazing features, which include:

•   Compatibility – The network is fully interoperable and compatible with legacy communication technologies. Remarkably, the network has the capability of integrating seamlessly with specialized networking applications including future networking technologies.
•   Secure – Quanta manages the path of the network both asymmetrically and dynamically. By simultaneously controlling outbound and inbound routes, it creates “cloaked” layers of communication within the Quanta network. This makes it impossible to locate, it renders data invisible, it renders critical assets invisible and resistant to packet sniffers.
•   Decentralized – The data in the Quanta Networks is not controlled by a single entity and impossible for anyone to manipulate to their favor. Interestingly, the Quanta Blockchain network provides all transactions and information stored in the blockchain, which is hosted by individual nodes.
•   Affordable – Although people are willing to pay more as it concerns their security, this shouldn’t have to be as Quanta Networks is optimizing underused bandwidth without purchasing bandwidth.

Quanta Network - You Are the Network

Quanta Network believes irrespective of who you are and your position, you should have affordable connectivity with security, privacy, and right to access the kind of information you need to conduct your daily life. For Quanta Networks, the world is like a connected place where everyone is connected, contributes, and plays a vital role in making the world a better, safer, and efficient place for everyone to live peacefully.

The vision of the platform is to revolutionize the telecommunication industry by building the first completed decentralized blockchain compliant communication system, which allows both users and systems to connect peer-to-peer. The Quanta Network has over 5 billion mobile users worldwide with over 1000 mobile operators

The GBP could be subject to renewed volatility around the time of the Brexit vote. We still see GBP/USD moving higher.

The US rate decline has weighed on the USD, while emerging market (EM) growth has been stabilizing. We retain a positive bias on EM FX.
 
Fears of a sharp slowdown in economic activity took a toll on riskier assets and triggered broad-based volatility in December. Since then, some sense of stability has returned, with risk appetite improving as the Federal Reserve (Fed) adopted a more market-friendly tone. The USD weakened across the board as Fed rate hikes were entirely priced out for 2019 and EUR/USD moved higher toward our 1.15 target. Our economists now expect the Fed to hike rates twice later this year. Thus, the repricing of US rates may indeed have gone too far. We believe this should limit USD softness, as economies outside the USA have also seen softer activity data and expectations of policy normalization might therefore be adjusted as well. We maintain a three-month target of 1.15 for EUR/USD. The recent environment also supported the CHF against both the EUR and the USD. Yet, we do not expect EUR/CHF to trade much lower going forward as risk appetite recovers. The JPY emerged as one of the best performing currencies, benefiting from a sharp unwinding of previously extreme short positioning. We do not expect the JPY to post further short-term gains and target a level of 112 for the USD/JPY in three months.

EM FX likely to gain further

EM FX has profited from the recent decline in US rates, confirming our positive view on EM currencies. The fundamental under- valuation of the EM basket and attractive interest rate differentials should support the recovery further. Growth appears to be stabilizing and looser domestic financial conditions should help ex-China EM growth to weather external headwinds. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, we remain positive on the RUB as economic momentum has picked up, Russia’s external position remains strong and fundamental valuation is cheap. We also keep our positive view on the ZAR, which is supported by cheap fundamental valuation and improving growth. In Asia, the confluence of more dovish expectations for US interest rates and improved sentiment has supported currencies, but we would be cautious about projecting an extended move higher. The US-China trade talks appear to have gone rather well, and market volatility has increased pressure on both sides to come to an agreement. We see USD/CNY at 6.85 and 7.00 in three and twelve months, respectively.

Brexit parliamentary vote to drive GBP outlook

Brexit negotiations are back in focus as the UK Parliament meets to vote on the Brexit deal in mid-Feb... We still believe that the UK Parliament will reach a consensus to avoid a no-deal outcome. Indeed, the recent amendment of the budget to limit the government’s tax powers in the event of a no-deal outcome suggests that the Parliament is working to avoid this scenario. On the economic front, activity remains resilient and surveys have surprised to the upside. A Brexit deal would likely allow the Bank of England to normalize policy faster, which would support the GBP. GBP valuations remain very attractive and, with a deal possible, we expect the currency to rebound. We thus keep our positive view on GBP/USD and target a level of 1.33 over three months and 1.40 over twelve months.

Most alternative investments suffered less than equities last year, but were down nonetheless. We neutralize our previously positive commodities view, but retain our preference for oil.
 
Aggregate hedge fund indices slipped further in December, ending 2018 in negative territory amid deteriorating financial market conditions. Yet declines were less pronounced than on the broad equity markets. Strategies with lower beta exposure to growth-sensitive assets such as merger arbitrage and equity-market neutral outperformed, while most fundamental strategies, which tend to have a higher sensitivity to the market, suffered the most. Higher credit volatility had a negative impact on several relative value strategies, while macro styles proved more resilient in December. The performance of the latter was helped by increased downward price momentum across several financial assets. Our Hedge Fund Barometer continues to indicate adverse market conditions considering falling business activity, higher financial market risk as well as deteriorating and now below average liquidity.

Commodities: Prospects remain challenging

Commodities had a difficult end to the year, with benchmark indices slumping further. Energy suffered the most, while precious metals outperformed, in line with broad risk aversion. While pressure appeared to ease at the start of 2019, growth concerns have intensified and might persist, prompting us to neutralize our previously positive commodities view. That said, we maintain our positive stance on oil. We still expect some tactical upside, as the November/December sell-off continues to look excessive should OPEC and Russia implement the promised supply cuts starting in Feb... However, we have reduced our oil price targets to account for weaker starting levels and larger-than-expected inventories at year-end. We now see scope for a rebound into the mid-USD 60s (Brent) and mid-USD 50s (WTI). Precious metals have outperformed lately amid elevated risk aversion and lower US yields. While we like gold as a portfolio diversifier, we stay neutral as tactical long positions have returned quickly. Lastly, base metals appear fragile as Chinese activity continues to slow and the seasonally weak Chinese New Year holiday nears.

Real estate: View stays negative

Listed real estate corrected sharply in December amid global growth concerns. Lower bond yields failed to offset the correction. The sell-off was led by the USA and Eurozone, while Asian and emerging markets fared better. We maintain a negative view on global listed real estate due to limited fundamental support and continued earnings downgrades in light of persistent growth concerns. That said, the outlook for US real estate has improved as valuations now look more attractive and lower yields should eventually support the underlying market. Negative earnings revisions have slowed and current bond yield levels no longer suggest a significant mispricing. Similarly, relative valuations of Eurozone real estate equities have declined to levels last seen during the European sovereign debt crisis in 2012, and the recent uptick in earnings revisions has not been reflected in performance. Solid underlying markets support the positive regional outlook.

MITH, the token for Mithril has partnered with SWAG.live, a mobile amateur adult social platform with over 1.5 million registered users and over 600 new models onboarding each month.

The company announced that they will accept MITH as payment for SWAG Diamonds starting Q2 2019, giving their users another way to provide payments apart from the four fiat currencies accepted today — US Dollars (USD), Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR), and New Taiwan Dollar (NT).

Mithril is founded by Jeffrey Huang, an A list Asian musician from Taiwan. They give tokens as rewards for great content, with Mithril aimed at the social media side. Users who get lots of likes and attention for their posts can now earn through what Mithil calls, social mining.

SWAG, according to their website, is a pay-to-view social messaging application service that allows users to create, publish and potentially earn money for their exclusive photos and videos.

This is not the first time the adult industry has got involved with crypto. According to research conducted by the porn studio VogoV, as of 2018 about 470 adult video sites, 50 webcam platforms, and 35 sex shops worldwide accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

The move brings yet another usage for MITH tokens. The coin is currently listed on over thirty exchanges and the companies have many partners planned for their ever-growing ecosystem in the future.
