While some industry experts and analysts believe that DeFi will eventually take over CeFi, it is too early to be sure about such claims. In this article, we have discussed some of the key differences and similarities between CeFi and DeFi. Bitcoin introduced the world to a whole new set of blockchain-based financial applications. CeFi (Centralized Finance) has been around since the time Bitcoin first emerged. However, a new trend has come into view in the form of DeFi (Decentralized Finance), which has garnered a lot of attention over the last year.

Being a part of the crypto community means one thing: You get to talk to many people, helping them find answers to questions about whether they should invest in a particular project or not. But merely seeking investment guidance or expert opinions is not always plausible. There is never one size that fits all. What worked for others may not always work for you. That is why it is also essential that you have devised the investment strategy that can help you maintain a balanced crypto portfolio. Below, we have discussed some of the easy ways you can achieve your crypto investment goals with the help of an effective portfolio diversification strategy. But before we get into that, we will answer what is a crypto portfolio in the first place.

The key element of any blockchain project is the cryptography used to protect data. Without it, no transactions are protected. The cryptocurrencies we all know are built on so-called public key cryptography. In this article, we'll look at the difference between public key cryptography and private key cryptography, discuss each system's advantages and disadvantages, and answer other questions on this topic.

The concept of trust has been integral to cryptocurrency since its inception. The same can be said of money itself. Blockchain was created as a technological solution to ensure trust on a peer-to-peer level. This desire stems from a lack of trust in third parties that act as guarantors of trust in traditional money, in other words, banks, governments and other economic institutions. Therefore, it’s interesting to note the findings of the special cryptocurrency edition of Edelman’s Trust Barometer report, which was released earlier this week. Working with a sample size of 34,000 adults (18+ years old) across 28 countries, the survey carried out by the PR company is by no means comprehensive, but still offers some intriguing insights into the public perception of cryptocurrencies.

No matter how useful a new invention is, people will always try to misuse it. Cryptocurrency is by no means an exception to the rule. The blockchain's decentralisation and anonymity are often used to conduct illegal transactions or deceive people who invest their money in scam projects. If you neglect security measures when working with a blockchain, you can disclose your private keys to criminals and lose your cryptocurrency. On top of that, the crypto network itself is not completely secure. One potential threat to blockchain networks is a 51 percent attack.

As the blockchain industry develops, the range of services offered by blockchain projects is expanding. Of course, it was only a matter of time before blockchain developers got to the cloud storage market. It's a growing segment, and, given the speed at which data is being created, it makes sense that the need for additional storage space continues to grow. On top of that, established data storage solutions are centralised and therefore vulnerable to attacks. Until recently, cloud storage services were the domain of big companies that own large centralised data warehouses. One project aimed at competing against the monopoly of cloud server companies is Filecoin. In this article, we'll explore this project, the associated FIL cryptocurrency and their future.

Cryptographic data protection is an important field that's becoming increasingly relevant. The rapid development of blockchain technology based on cryptography has further expanded the scope of encryption's application. However, some people still argue over whether symmetric or asymmetric encryption is better. This article will tell you what symmetric and asymmetric encryption are, analyse their features and examine their differences, strengths, and weaknesses.
