Your must-read

What we’re writing

Stablecoins have become a big thing. If you don’t know what that is: they are useful for digital payments.

But what’s the point when we have credit cards and online banking already? True, but stablecoins can be much cheaper and much faster. That matters for individuals and especially for businesses.

No wonder then that transaction volumes are pretty big already – and they’re set to grow even further. Don’t worry if you have no idea what we’re talking about here though. This week, we’re explaining all the basics about stablecoins.

What we’re reading

After you have learned what stablecoins are, think what they could do in combination with AI.

Yes, everybody wants to combine everything with AI these days. But in tech terms, that combination could make a lot of sense. And it could have some real-world benefits.

Companies could manage their treasuries in a completely new way. Many people who currently don’t have access to insurance could be protected at least against certain types of risks.

How does all that work? Jeremy Allaire has explained that for the World Economic Forum.

Your turn

What we’re trying

Did you ever play Football Manager? It’s a great game that doesn’t just appeal to hardcore football fans. It also appeals to real nerds who like to dive into statistics and figures which just happen to be based on football players.

Now you can even own the players and make sure that they become better over time. You can also compete in a league and win promotion (which also includes prize money).

All of that is possible on Footium. In short, Footium is a multiplayer football management game where players own and manage a digital football club.

It’s all based on blockchain tech in the background – and the new season is around the corner. You can read much more about that in the announcement for Season 4, or you can have a look at the Footium website where it’s all explained in detail.
