The cybersecurity community once prided itself on a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. This spirit has been eroded by a race to the bottom.

The Cybersecurity Paradox: Why Free Costs Too Much

The battle for a scalable solution is the blockchain’s moon race. Bitcoin processes 4.6 transactions per second. Visa does around <a href="https://usa.visa.com/run-your-business/small-business-tools/retail.html" target="_blank">1,700 transactions per second on average</a> (based on a calculation derived from the official claim of over 150 million transactions per day). The potential for adoption is there but is bottlenecked currently by scalability.

Many people like to think history is something that is permanent and unchanging, but in reality, the way society collectively views it is always evolving. Different times interpret past events in different ways. And when it comes to history, there is a trinity of interaction that exists; there are people who are making it, the scribes that are recording it, and the bystanders who read about it&nbsp;later.

Everipedia Culture Roundup #14: Be a Part of History

Covering news, pop culture, and media should be a straight-forward thing one should think, but today it’s hard to get a sense of what is true and false. On this week’s edition of Everipedia Culture Roundup, we recognize people that report the facts. Hassan Bargathi was the founder of the popular culture staple Only Hip-Hop Facts. Christie Smythe is writing a book that is an expansion on the biggest story she ever reported, the arrest of Martin Shkreli. Armin van Bitcoin isn’t a journalist by any means, but he truthfully shares his opinion on cryptocurrency and trading to his tens of thousands of followers on Twitter. Marko Jukic is using the scientific method to improve language-learning techniques in order to increase the success rate of fluency. And Muzmatch is the honest dating app specifically for Muslims.&nbsp;Enjoy!

Everipedia Culture Roundup #13: Factual Coverage

Let’s face it, if you are trying to grow a brand today, then Instagram is a must. No other social media site has a combination of aesthetics, reach, and positive perception as Instagram does (it has even escaped its parent company Facebook’s PR disaster over the past year). You could find all the negatives that you want about social media like how it is <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-social-networking-addiction-2655246">addicting</a> and how we <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beauty-sick/201804/why-you-cant-stop-comparing-yourself-media-images">compare</a> ourselves too much on it, but the matter of fact is that we are on it and it has become intertwined with our real lives much more than people want to give credit&nbsp;for.

Those who dance professionally can attest that when your moves are on point, it feels like you are one with the universe. It is one of many variations of being in the flow state where nothing else matters but being in the present moment, and all of your attention and focus is on the next step. The young stunna Seth Vangeldren embodies this, which is evident in his memorizing videos of him dancing. Digital artisans from across the internet have channeled their energy to create memes on behalf of the Yang Gang in a grassroots effort to support Andrew Yang’s Presidential Campaign. Erika Herzog is an information specialist whose attempts to highlight issues in Wikipedia led to her ousting from the Wikimedia Foundation. Operating out of Hong Kong, technologist Sherman Lee is on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology with his projects and funds. And Toritseju Blessing Kaka is evangelizing blockchain technology in his native Nigeria through the organizations he is working with on the EOS blockchain.

Everipedia Culture Roundup #12: Smooth Groves and Big Moves

Sometimes, you have to take a step back to appreciate that we live in a time where you can relate to an event that is happening thousands of miles away from you on the other side of the world. On this week’s edition of Everipedia Culture Roundup, we take a look at the story of teenager William Connolly who went viral for egging Australian politician Fraser Anning who was previously criticized for his insensitive comments towards Muslims during the aftermath of the Christchurch shootings. Morrie Tobin, on the other hand, went much more under the radar, but his role in starting the investigation in the college admissions scandal should not be ignored. Lori Harvey is making a name for herself beyond being Steve Harvey’s step-daughter with her modeling career and being in online tabloids over her dating exploits. Samantha Yap is a career woman at the nexus of media and blockchain and is combining the two to launch her own PR firm. And finally, the book Crippled explores how government policy can have a drastic effect on the most vulnerable in the United Kingdom. Read more about the figures from this week below!

Everipedia Culture Roundup #11: Yoked and Smoked

The hustle, the grind, whatever you call it, we live in a time where people like to show that they are hard at work, but are they doing anything? A friend of mine once said to me “People lie, Numbers don’t” and when it’s all said and done, it’s the results that matter. People like E-commerce Guru Scott Hilse who went through adversity before he found his flow and established a six-figure Shopify store quite simply has the track record that shows his success. Producer Lil Texas has been part of the EDM scene for several years now and is finally hitting his stride bringing his signature ‘Texcore’ hardstyle sound to the masses. Instagram juggernaut Jessica Bartlett has cultivated her influencer persona on the platform and uses her experience and expertise to help brands do the same. Everipedia Director of Software Kedar Iyer had traveled the world and the seven seas before becoming involved in blockchain development and worked his fingers off to perfect his craft to become one of the most respected developers in the field. And EOS Bots aims to optimize how users interact with the EOS blockchain through its family of products. Learn more about each one of this week’s Everipedia Culture Roundup honorees below.

Everipedia Culture Roundup #10: Hustle Hard

On the path of business and life, opportunities come about that can lead us in all sorts of directions. It is up to us to decide which path to take, and sometimes, you have to take risks and venture into the unknown in order to truly find the proper path for you. For example, Ashley Scorpio left an accomplished career as a political aide in Canadian Parliament to work in startups, and now she is a top executive at one. The decentralized artificial intelligence application, Effect.AI, made the decision to migrate off the NEO blockchain and move their operations to EOS instead. Investor Geoff Lewis evaluates up and coming technology companies for his job and figures out which ones will be successful and cause the most disruption for the better. Vera Kopp already had a veteran career as an actress and model, but saw the power of influencers and used her experience to start a platform that would help amplify them. Ben Braverman has been an executive at several startups that have been acquired and is now part of one of the fastest growing companies in the United States, Flexport. Learn more about all of these decision-makers in this week’s Everipedia Internet Culture Roundup!

Internet Culture Roundup #9: Making The Right Decision

As technology evolves in our digital landscape, it is becoming increasingly difficult to detect what’s fake from what’s real. Fake news, doctored pictures, and misleading videos are having real consequences on the world. For example, the website This Person Does Not Exist renders pictures of what seems to be actual people, but are in fact computer-generated images. Outside of the TPDNE portraits, the rest of this week’s list are actual people with relatable narratives. John Henry is a self-made entrepreneur who is interested in helping other business owners in New York City succeed while Amanda Cooksey is trying to make it big-time as a singer in the Music City. Read more about their stories in this edition of the Everipedia Internet Culture Roundup.

Internet Culture Roundup #8: Limited Perception

It has been said that professions such as doctors, lawyers, and accountants are necessities for us to live, but the artist and their work give us a reason to live. I’m sure that my paraphrase came from some prominent intellectual, but nonetheless, art has a significant influence on our lives. Although most of us are consumers of art, it is the producer of it who bears the burden of creating something novel and that evokes emotion in their audience.

Everipedia Internet Culture Roundup #7: Art Has Different Plans

We are lucky to be in a day and age where anyone with a camera can upload videos they make directly to their audience and interact with them seamlessly. Building roads around gatekeepers is a beautiful thing as it, in this case, decentralizes fame and allows people who would not necessarily get a chance in traditional media a more creative way to make something of their own. Yet, media on the internet has led to a new class of gatekeepers, the platform in which the content is hosted on. Sites such as YouTube and others have since curated a culture around themselves, and sometimes creators use that as a foundational theme to their content. Sometimes they do it in ways that the founders of those websites would never even imagine.

Everipedia’s Internet Culture Roundup #6: Be the Media You Want to See in the World

Tattoos are a permanent mark that symbolizes how you feel about someone or something a certain point in time. It has become a starter of conversations for many interactions. Roger Stone got his tattoo of Richard Nixon years ago and carries the former President’s spirit quite literally on his back. Kelsey Karter supposedly got singer Harry Styles’ tattoo on her face this week and many are wondering how her future significant other will feel about it in a few years. Notorious Wikipedia editor Philip Cross is not known to have tattoos, and his editing activity makes people question whether he is a person at all or a group of people trying to sway public opinion. Dan Riffle does not care if you have a tattoo or not, only if you are a billionaire because he considers that to be an economic ill to society. And no word yet if Mythical Games will allow you to customize the characters in their upcoming MMO games with tattoos or not. So without further tattoo commentary, here are this week’s most intriguing pages on Everipedia.

Everipedia Internet Culture Roundup #5: Tattoos Are Forever

On this week’s edition of Everipedia’s Internet Culture Roundup, we take a look at a high school student who faced the wrath of a Twitter Mob, an up and coming hip hop tastemaker, a marketing genius who was a part of an unfortunate event, a possible model girlfriend to a star quarterback, and Afghanistan’s biggest music star.

Internet Culture Roundup #4: Twitter Mobs and the Fickleness of Appearances

If the internet is an ever-evolving collective consciousness of content, then memes are it’s DNA. In this week’s edition of Internet Culture Roundup, we have a diverse array of memes take the spotlight including a mobile game with ads showing delusions of grandeur, a photobombing Fiji water bottle model, an ambitious content creator, a victim of an All-Star baseball player’s troll campaign, and a deleted Wikipedia page.

Internet Culture Roundup #3: Not “Notable” Enough, That’s How Mafia Works

It seems if two things are for sure, it’s that the internet will always bring us a viral meme challenge and someone will always get fired from old tweets. In the second edition of the Everipedia Internet Culture Roundup, we have all of that plus the smartest 16-year-old in America, an inspiring bucket-list finisher, and a leader in the Bitcoin community. If you think we missed anything, leave a comment down in the responses!

Internet Culture Roundup #2: Top Five Everipedia Pages of the Week

Everipedia is the encyclopedia for up and coming topics in culture. Here, we will examine the most unique wikis that would otherwise have been missed by traditional gatekeepers including an every-man historian, a beloved widow, a controversial meme-worthy Twitter account, an up-and-coming DJ, and a respected Beltway journalist.

Everipedia launched in 2015 with the idea of reimagining how the encyclopedia works. As Paul Graham <a href="http://old.ycombinator.com/ideas.html" target="_blank">said</a> in his newsletter over 10 years ago, “There is room to do to Wikipedia what Wikipedia did to Britannica,” and he is right more than ever. Before in the print era, we were constrained by the binding of books in what we could put in an encyclopedia. In the information age, why would we keep limiting ourselves when we have the capacity to host millions upon millions of pages? And with new notable concepts and <a href="https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/Evolution_of_an_idea/" target="_blank">memes</a> (pertaining to the evolution of the idea) rising to the forefront daily, we will have to sooner rather than later. If Wikipedia is the online encyclopedia for traditional knowledge, then Everipedia is the online encyclopedia for up-and-coming topics in culture.

As we are in the midst of the worst crypto bear market in several years (it’s normal, relax), the get-rich quick-types have exited the field to find another scheme while the builders are still here weathering the storm. These times may be tough and stressful for some, but it’s a good time to talk about ideas without having $$$ be at the center of the conversation.

Dealing with securities is a delicate dance for both investors and the companies they invest in. For investors, many are sitting on the sidelines while those who qualify as accredited investors are playing in the lucrative field of secondary markets. For companies, especially those experimenting with digital assets, they have to make sure that they follow the SEC’s guidelines such as registering as a security or qualifying as a utility token or face penalties. Securities laws such as the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange of 1934 were written in the wake of the Great Depression, and since then the world has witnessed several boom and bust cycles that have run parallel to the exponential progress of technology. It’s time to update these laws for the 21st century because some statutes, such as accredited investor requirements, are stifling innovation, proliferating income inequality, and moving innovation off American shores.
