The current pre-sale ICO price is $0.25 per coin.\n\nRoberto Escobar's has published his plans on their official website <a href=\"https://escobartrump.org/\">escobartrump.org</a>\n<blockquote>ESCOBAR token is the future of stablecoins, having a big name behind itself and the strong leadership of Roberto De Jesus Escobar Gaviria, older brother of infamous Pablo Escobar.</blockquote>\nSource: <a href=\"https://escobartrump.org/\">EscobarTrump.org</a>\n\nThe official website states that funds will be:\n<blockquote>Used for (a) Impeach Trump Fund (read more on www.ImpeachTrumpFund.com) and (b) the development of ESCOBAR token and its success.</blockquote>\nThe ICO is Roberto's plan B in his bizarre quest to impeach Trump as his original idea of launching a GoFundMe campaign was rejected by the crowd funding platform. According to the Escobar's 'white paper', 1 Billion ESCOBARS will be created and sold. Roberto claims that investors will be able to easily redeem US dollars for their tokens via a 3rd party in Belize.\n\nInterestingly, this is not Escobar's first attempt at hitting an ICO jackpot, he is credited as being the leading force behind the failed ICO '<a href=\"https://www.dietbitcoin.org/en/index.php\">Dietbitcoin</a>'.\n\nThe ESCOBAR ICO ends on June 1st 2019 and neither David Black or The Decentral advise investing even a single micro-bit of Eth (Wei).\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<hr />\n\nGet the latest Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency news only on <a href=\"https://www.thedecentral.com/\">TheDecentral.com</a>.

Here we have revolutionary technological advancements that are directly applicable to our economic systems, all made possible by the internet — which is a very recent development in itself.\n\nWhile crypto enthusiasts all over the world are dying to see a massive financial shift take place, the centralized banks aren’t going to hand over their power without a fight, no matter how much sense it makes. It seems as though the only way cryptocurrency will make history is if the powers that be usher it in, and for that to happen, they’d need to retain their control.\n\nAs valid as this might be, it’s likely a gross oversimplification of the situation. The institutions in question aren’t purely monolithic, and there’s a chance we see some change occur from within; change toward a more decentralized future.\n<h2><b>An IMF Director’s Take on ‘Fedcoin’</b></h2>\nAt the Singapore Fintech Festival in November 2018, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde made the case for taking a serious look at what digital currencies can do for our monetary systems.\n\nAfter referring to ancient Greek philosophy by stating “Change is the only constant.”, she went on to describe how the change cryptocurrencies are bringing has the potential to be disruptive to the lives of many, and that “the key is to harness the benefits while managing the risks.”\n\nLagarde then outlined the history of money, and how it has changed based on the needs of those using it. She makes the case for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), then announces the release of an IMF document detailing the pros and cons of central banks created their own digital currencies.\n\nShe balanced the presentation out by presenting the risks of Bank Digital Currencies, then wrapped it up in an optimistic light, giving the impression that she believes we, as a society, would be able to effectively mitigate the risks of cryptocurrency adoption — and be rewarded as whole for doing so.\n<h2><b>What the Federal Reserve Thinks About a CBDC</b></h2>\nA similar sentiment was shown by <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Warsh\">Kevin Warsh</a>, who was a governor for the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve\">US Federal Reserve</a>, and also a candidate for Fed Chairman. In a May 2018 interview with the <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/04/upshot/should-the-fed-create-fedcoin-to-rival-bitcoin-a-former-top-official-says-maybe.html\">New York Times</a>, Warsh displayed his openness to the idea of a “FedCoin”, stating that “a central bank digital currency might have a role to play there”.\n\nHe also stated the following:\n<blockquote>Not that it would supplant and replace cash,” he said, “but it would be a pretty effective way when the next crisis happens for us to maybe conduct monetary policy.</blockquote>\nAs previously stated, these organizations are not monolithic, and Warsh’s opinion is just that — his own.\n<h3><b>According to Federal Reserve Research Experts</b></h3>\nIn a Q2 research article written by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksander-berentsen/\">Aleksander Berentsen</a> and <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabian-schaer/\">Fabian Schar</a><a href=\"https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/2018/02/13/the-case-for-central-bank-electronic-money-and-the-non-case-for-central-bank-cryptocurrencies/\">The Case for Central Bank Electronic Money and the Non-case for Central Bank Cryptocurrencies</a>, the idea of a digital asset issued by centralized banks was more heavily scrutinized.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2973\" src=\"https://www.thedecentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/federal-reserve-bitcoin-central-bank-btc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"649\" height=\"412\" />\n\nSource: <a href=\"https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/2018/02/13/the-case-for-central-bank-electronic-money-and-the-non-case-for-central-bank-cryptocurrencies/\">Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</a>\n\nTheoretically, if the Federal Government wanted to create a central bank cryptocurrency, they easily could, according to this research article. The problem is that (and it might be obvious to our readers already) cryptocurrencies and centralized banks are fundamentally oppositional to one another.\n<blockquote>Once we remove the decentralized nature of a cryptocurrency, not much is left of it. Virtual money that is centralized and issued monopolistically by a central bank is electronic central bank money.</blockquote>\nThey go on to explain that “calling such a centralized form of virtual money a cryptocurrency is misleading”, and that the technology required for issuing centralized digital currency has existed much longer than blockchain technology has.\n<h2><b>What Does This Mean For Cryptocurrencies Moving Forward?</b></h2>\nDecentralized cryptocurrencies were built to empower all people to exchange value easily and anonymously, which simply doesn’t mesh with the Federal Reserve’s modus operandi. Berentsen and Schar’s research paper concludes in a way that aligns with crypto purists, and more succinctly, aligns with common sense.\n<blockquote>We welcome anonymous cryptocurrencies but also disagree with the view that the government should provide one.</blockquote>\nIt’s difficult to neatly wrap these ideas up, but one of the more optimistic perspectives is that the original vision of the Bitcoin whitepaper has been solidified by those with the most incentive to oppose it. In general, there are 5 possible (yet oversimplified) outcomes stemming from the invention of cryptocurrencies\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technology alleviates economic oppression worldwide.</li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A ‘compromise’ is made and the technology is used by centralized banks.</li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centralized banks do everything in their power to suppress the technology.</li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technology is inadequate and dissolves away naturally.</li>\n \t<li>The technology destroys the legacy banking system</li>\n</ol>\nFrom the recent findings outlined above, it seems as though the possible outcomes are being narrowed down. Blockchain technology, as well as it’s originally intended purpose of decentralizing trust, is being validated by professionals representing the central banking system.\n\nWhether their recognition of this purpose benefits the common individual remains to be seen.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<hr />\n\nGet the latest Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency news only on <a href=\"https://www.thedecentral.com/\">TheDecentral.com</a>.

There are two general approaches to launching a cryptocurrency: introduce a minimum viable product to the market as soon as possible, or take your time and play the long game.\n\nCardano (ADA) has, for the most part, chosen the latter of these two options, taking an academic approach backed by peer-reviewed research and fiduciary responsibility. At the moment, these claims are theoretical, and only time will reveal how genuine they are.\n\nWhile direct competitors like EOS and Ethereum have early movers advantage, they may have jumped the gun, allowing a more fundamentally sound project like Cardano to pass them in terms of overall value. If Cardano can mitigate further delays and stick to their plan, they have a legitimate chance of making 2019 their own.\n\n**Cardano Q4 2018**\n\nAfter a series of developmental delays throughout 2018, Cardano’s fourth quarter turned out to be an eventful time. A lengthy blog post detailed an internal rift in the Cardano Foundation, one of three branches making up the executive Cardano team.\n\nThe post made the case that former CEO Michael Parsons should resign due to inadequate performance, and that due to their 3-tiered structure, the project would be able to continue regardless. In mid-November 2018, Parsons resigned, and Pascal Schmid has been elected as interim.\n\nThe way the situation was handled sent positive sentiments throughout the Cardano community, as many members prefer issues to be solved in a transparent and timely manner, rather than swept under the rug. Clearly this is how problems should be handled, but in the fast-paced world that is cryptocurrency, it’s vital.\n\n**Cardano 1.4 Officially Released**\n\nCardano 1.4, named the “most significant” update so far, was officially launched December 18th, 2018. Version 1.4 brings four major updates to the Cardano ecosystem:\n\nCardano Testnet — A platform for Cardano developers to test software without running the risk of damaging the Cardano blockchain.\n\n*Rust — Programming language used by many mobile and web developers to create software for industrial use.\n*Optimized Block Storage — Instead of downloading 1.5 million files to sync their Cardano desktop wallet, users only need to download 200 files now. This creates a more user friendly process and a quicker network overall.\n*Linux Desktop Wallet — Linux is an operating system popular within the developer community, and Cardano has released the Linux v1.1 for their desktop wallet, Daedalus.\n\nIt’s also worth noting that Cardano founder and CEO Charles Hoskinson does regular video updates, and his most recent update reviews Cardano in 2018.\n\n<iframe width=\"1264\" height=\"711\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/EJQKSTcL5pI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n**2019: The Shelley Update**\n\nThe Cardano roadmap is one of the most detailed roadmaps in the crypto game, and even features a countdown timer until the next roadmap update. The first stage of their project was labeled Byron, and with the release of Version 1.4, the next stage is set to begin as soon as Q1 2019.\n\nShelly, the second stage of Cardano, will make significant strides in bringing their plans to life. Shelley’s main goal is the complete decentralization of the blockchain, stake pools, hardware wallet support, debit cards, sidechains and more.\n\nThe Shelley update will take Cardano to an entirely new level. In regards to price, the introduction of staking pools could be a catalyst for a massive move upward.\n\n**Staking Cardano**\n\nCardano will use a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, allowing users to stake their ADA tokens, and receive ADA tokens in return. This also allows users to vote on changes to the network by staking ADA. \n\nThere are currently a fairly large number of Proof-of-Stake coins on the market, all with their own approach. After conducting research and experiments, Cardano discovered they’d be able to handle 1,000 different staking pools, theoretically maximizing decentralization.\n\nThis also allows all Cardano holders to earn ADA through staking regardless of how much (or little) ADA they own. Some PoS tokens require a minimum amount of tokens to be staked, which generally leads to money flowing to the hands of fewer and fewer people.\n\nIncentivizing Cardano holders to stake their tokens has a direct application to the supply and demand of the token. Since there’s a limited supply, and no new tokens will be minted, locking up a significant portion of ADA means the market price will likely increase.\n\nIOHK, Hoskinson’s development firm behind Cardano, released an academic paper just before the end of 2018, detailing the implementation of sidechains in a Proof-of-Stake ecosystem — marking a significant milestone for the entire cryptocurrency industry.\n\n**Moving Forward**\n\nCardano’s rise to becoming a top-10 cryptocurrency was accomplished with promising academic papers and impressive communication, and little to show in terms of a working product. This puts the project in an interesting place, and could be part of the reason why its marketcap ranking is on the decline.\n\nThat said, the completion of Byron has given them a solid foundation to work with, and if they can successfully move through Shelley in a timely manner, 2019 is Cardano’s for the taking.\n\nGet the latest Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency news only on https://www.theDecentral.com.
