About the Event Many are saying 2019 is the year of “buidl.” But is that true? Bitcoin has been around for a decade, but we still haven’t nailed the fundamentals that would underlie real-world applications at scale and allow them to stand the test of time. Without confidence in security, no crypto can ever serve as a store of value, let alone evolve to become a medium of exchange or unit of account. Only once blockchains have the ability to adapt will they provide solid protection against value-loss events like chain splits and hard forks — giving them the resilience they need to endure in the long-term. Enter Decred — a community-directed digital currency designed to deliver a truly decentralized alternative to traditional money. Community members own and operate the system, make the rules, and determine the direction of the project. The result is a secure and adaptable crypto that Murad Mahmudov — one of the most respected bitcoin maximalists — believes could be one of the three cryptocurrencies that stand the test of time.   As part of its mission to make crypto accesible around the world, OKCoin is excited to host Decred to the SF analyst and investor community. Please join us for a chat with OKCoin CEO Tim Byun, Decred founder Jake Yocom-Piatt, prominent crypto VC Chris Burniske of Placeholder VC, and researcher Alex Evans of Placeholder VC. You'll learn how to value cryptocurrencies and invest in the crypto economy, why Decred's killer feature of good governance makes it a superior store of value, what the future holds for crypto, and how OKCoin aims to make crypto accessible to all. –– All information shared in the event is for reference only and should not be construed as investment advice. –– Agenda 5:30-6:00 PM - Networking 6:00-6:10 PM - Welcome and introductions by OKCoin CEO Tim Byun 6:10-6:30 PM - Decred overview by founder Jake Yocom-Piatt 6:30-6:50 PM - Fireside chat with Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske and crypto-economics analyst Alex Evans on why they invested in Decred and what the future holds for crypto.   6:50-7:00 PM - Q&A from the audience 7:00-8:30 PM - Networking and drinks About the Speakers Tim Byun is CEO of OKCoin and possesses decades of experience in Risk and Compliance.

Exclusive: With so many cryptocurrency projects creating decentralized exchanges (DEXs) of their own, it’s reasonable to be skeptical about yet another. Today, cryptocurrency project Decred released official plans for its own Decentralized Exchange (DEX).

As often as we hear blockchain catch phrases like “autonomous”, “decentralized”, and “no single point of failure”, the power holders are the ones who make the decisions. Even with a decentralized ledger, power can be centralized. Does Decred create a solution?

Ledger, a global leader in security and infrastructure solutions for cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications, today announced the integration of Decred, onto Ledger Nano S and Ledger Blue hardware devices. Through this integration, Decred transactions will also be supported on Ledger Live, Ledger’s all-in-one software application. The Decred unification marks the first native integration into Ledger Live since launching the app in summer 2018. Decred users will be able to manage their crypto assets in Ledger Live and validate transactions on their devices as part of the security protocol. “We’re excited to be working with Decred on the Ledger Live native integration pilot,” said Eric Larchevêque, CEO at Ledger. “This is a major first step towards accelerating our efforts to develop native coin support for all major crypto in 2019.” The Ledger Nano S and Ledger Blue hardware wallets enable users to protect their private keys using a state-of-the-art secure element, similar to the technology safeguarding credit cards and passports. The Ledger hardware wallets isolate user’s private keys from the internet, but also from the computer to which they are connected, providing an unmatched layer of security against hackers.
