Ether Hits New Record Price High Over$1200 Following Month of Strong Growth.

It may not have had the most growth in 2017, but Ethereum has regained its place behind Bitcoin as the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Since January 4, the market valuation of Ripple decreased from $148 billion to $73 billion, falling by nearly 2-fold in a single week. On the contrary, the market valuation of Ethereum surged from $85 billion to $135 billion, recording yet another 15 percent increase in value today, on January 10.

Decentralized applications building on top of Ethereum such as CryptoKitties, 0x, EtherDelta, Status, and OmiseGo have obtained a large user base of actual users that process hundreds of thousands of transactions on a daily basis.

In the short-term, it is likely that the upward price trend of Ether will continue, as decentralized applications on the network perform well...

Will it be possible that if Blockchain Technology can remould Global Payments System?

Payments are synonymous with a transaction that is guaranteed by a central authority which can be a bank, a payment wallet or an escrow service. Keeping the chronological timeline under consideration blockchain happens to be at the helm of technological advancement in the financial domain.   A block is the ‘current’ part of a blockchain, which records some or all of the recent transactions. Once completed, a block goes into the blockchain as a permanent database. Each time a block gets completed, a new one is generated. “Blockchain technology continues to redefine not only how the exchange sector operates, but the global financial economy as a whole.” The core value of a blockchain is that it enables a database to be directly shared without a central administrator. Rather than having some centralized application logic, blockchain transactions have their own proof of validity and authorization to enforce the constraints. Hence, with the blockchain acting as a consensus ...
