Overstock CEO's Massive Bet On Bitcoin And Crypto Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum,

[PRIBO247]

The founder and CEO of Overstock plans to sell the entire retail arm of his business to focus on blockchain and cryptocurrency. The Wall Street Journal reports that CEO Patrick Byrne, who founded Overstock in 1999, will launch tZero, a blockchain-based Bitcoin and crypto trading system.

“I don’t care whether tZero is losing $2 million a month,” Mr. Byrne said in an interview with WSJ. “We think we’ve got cold fusion on the blockchain side.”

Ripple and XRP

Ripple has released a new ad comparing the power of blockchain to the status quo of current cross-border payment technologies. Meanwhile, the XRP Tip Bot now supports escrow transfers.

Users can send XRP that will be auto delivered after a set amount of time.

Ethereum

The co-founder of Union Square Ventures, a New York City-based venture capital firm, just released a short outlook on mainstream stocks like Apple as well as cryptocurrency.

Fred Wilson says Ethereum looks like the easiest crypto “to make a bull case for right now.” But despite the optimism, he says it’s a tough time to buy just about any type of asset.

EOS

BitMEX has released a controversial new report on EOS.

According to the report, based on “a thorough assessment of the entire system, EOS was originally architected as a blockchain, though the resulting platform failed to achieve the necessary composition of a blockchain system.”
