You need to take an unbiased approach to crypto or be crypto agnostic in what crypto you receive as donations/payments. You should at minimum accept the top 20-25 crypto with bias. This is a business not a religion. We want the space to grow and allow the best to bubble up democratically not because of some maximalist religious belief in a crypto(s). – We do not take donations in exchange for ranking influence! We have an internal criteria which we apply to all coins listed on our site!
You currently show the daily % increase or decrease. I would like to see the same % increase or decrease on each currency as I switch to the 7 day, monthly, 3 month and year to date! – Price changes across longer time horizons. Noted. ✍️

Satoshi Nakamoto name origin? 🤔
Self-proclaimed Bitcoin (BTC) creator Craig Wright revealed what he claims is a document that explains the origins of the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym.
It represents an article from digital database of academic journals JSTOR, about a person called Tominaga Nakamoto, the "Japanese Adam Smith" who lived in Japan between 1715 and 1746. Wright stated that he selected the Nakamoto name to honor Tominaga Nakamoto, who is compared to the "father of modern economics," Adam Smith. 🇯🇵
He also added that Nakamoto's economic ideas were part of the reason for his name choice, as he "wrote about money and honest money and the rational nature of things."
B2B payment solutions 🤝
Japan's leading credit card issuer JCB intends to adopt a new business-to-business (B2B) payment solution based on blockchain technology, and recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with blockchain-based commercial payments platform Paystand to form a digital payment platform for companies and customers in Japan.
Paystand CEO Jeremy Almond said that the collaboration shows increasing demand for digital technology-powered business payments by enterprises. 💻
The new joint development targets to reduce costs and delays linked to "pre-internet technology" still used in Japan's $18 trillion B2B market dominated by cash transactions. It also addresses some complications in the market associated with the country's consumption tax increase.
Patents to boost speed and security ⚡
Chinese internet leader Alibaba Group recently has had a 2 U.S. patents approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), designed to make its blockchain network speedier and safer. 🎉
One patent plans to decrease the time needed to authenticate block data, and the other to help users set a validity period for a transaction in the blockchain network.
The patent filing states that the application will "alleviate a problem in the existing technology, that much time is consumed because a verification value is calculated by using all data in a block." The other patent used to set up a validity period for a transaction would allow a blockchain network's participants to process the transaction "during a certain period of time via either a physical clock or a logical clock."
