May 23, 2020 boss

Ellen DeGeneres is currently being dragged through the mud, but she isn’t alone. Another famous TV personality has made a fortune from being a fake: Dr. Phil. Ellen and Dr. Phil preach kindness, but their track records say something else entirely. Ellen DeGeneres might appear to be a saintly, philanthropic, LGBTQ+ pioneer, but that doesn’t make her a nice person. In fact, all evidence point to the contrary. Stories of her reign of terror over staffers have been running around Hollywood for years. These aren’t just one or two “sour…

Has the US SEC Closed the Global Window on New Tokens?

May 23, 2020 boss

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s vigor in pursuing initial coin offerings, or ICOs, has become a major boogeyman within the crypto community. Most recently, the case against Telegram ended with that company abandoning its planned open network and Gram tokens, which raised $1.7 billion. The question before the crypto community is now: Have we witnessed the death of the ICO? The answer is yes, in that, with all due fear of predictions, we will never see the likes of 2017’s ICO boom again. That vision of an ICO…

Ethereum 2.0 Release Date Set for the Eleventh Hour as Issues Persist

May 23, 2020 boss

The launch of Ethereum (ETH) 2.0 may be delayed yet again after developers rescheduled the network’s proof-of-stake algorithm upgrade for June 2020, as reported by Cryptox on May 15. Taking into account all of the factors surrounding the highly anticipated launch, the statements made by the development team can be construed as an almost official promise. Or, as the devs themselves say, “carefully” optimistic, meaning that the critical update is still not in sight. The main reason for the note of this careful optimism is the presence of multiple bugs…

May 23, 2020 boss

Club Penguin was a popular children’s MMO owned by Disney. Since it was shut down, many clones of the game have cropped up. Disney recently shut a bunch down for various reasons, including profanity and child abuse. Private servers are a sore point in the games industry. Many MMOs, especially ones that disappear, end up being cloned. These clones are usually a way for people who miss a particular game to keep playing it after official support ends. Such is the case with Club Penguin. It was a child-friendly MMO…

Bitcoin’s Recovery Relies On One Key Level While Bitcoin has bounced approximately 5% from the lows sustained earlier this week, the cryptocurrency remains below…
