Bits and pieces from here and there - another DEX and a few words about the ridiculous kiki challenge
One of those days. The mind wanders, but nothing real spectacular happens. Events all around us keep happening, one more interesting than the other, and viceversa, some are just plain old silly.
What I picked up (and it's not all crypto und stuff)
Well, lets start with crypto anyway - Ripple-based DEX now launched
Alphapoint, the blockchain startup company that is working on a custom blockchain for financial institutions, has announced a launch of worlds first XRP-based de-centralized exchanges - DCEX. DCEX is running fully on the custom blockchain provided by Alphapoint and all instuments are denominated in XRP:
You can register on the platform now - it looks sleek and fast and doesnt hurt the eye. But if you look deeper, the trade volumes at the moment are 0, meaning actual trading will start in a few weeks. So you best get started familiarizing yourself with the DEX right now, to get a headstart ;)
But why XRP? According to the pressrelease, Altcointoday.com explains:
Using XRP as a base currency will allow for “high-speed transfers” that can help investors to better take advantage of “price inefficiencies” in their arbitrage among currency pairs on different exchanges.
Accroding to various sources, DCEX will support fast transfers between exchanges, to reduce the latency. The custom blockchain, according to the dev, should support up to 1 million tps!
At the moment there are 15 pairs listed, but hopefully soon we'll see more. A mild KYC form pops up when registering, you'll have to cough up some of your precious data to get on the exchange.

The kiki challenge

Or, as some call it, "keke challenge" or "my feelings challenge", has people dancing to a Drake song. All good? Alas some people have taken it as far as getting out of moving cars and doing the dance on the road.
For some hilarious and dangerously stupid moments check the below links, i'm sure you find many other ones:
