In a recent blog post shared by Miroslav Bodeček it was announced that Tezos will join Ethereum in creating domain names for Tezos. This is meant to simplify the user experience for managing cryptocurrency wallets and transactions.
How will Tezos Domains work?

I think most of can agree that cryptocurrency addresses are impossible to remember, and that the addresses together with the crypto manta be your own bank can make cryptocurrencies a bit confusing for new users.
As an effort to reduce some of the complexity around how blockchain and cryptocurrencies work domain names were introduced a while ago with Ethereum Name Services.
Similar to how domain names work with website addresses where simplified website names like gocryptowise.com is linked to an IP address, these blockchain domain names will do the same thing for cryptocurrency addresses and wallets.
So in the future, a Tezos domain name could be gocryptowise.tezos, which would be linked to us as an owner and with all our linked addresses.
This is still in production for Tezos but it is exciting news nonetheless. User experience has often been the main complaint amongst new cryptocurrency investors and from businesses exploring blockchain development.
In the Medium post, Miroslav explains a bit more how these Tezos Domains will work. They will be powered by smart contract technology and a dApp. There will be an open auction where anyone can bid for a specific domain name.
There is already an existing successful version of domain names working on the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum Name Service.

Which works with popular wallets like Edge, Browers, MetaMask, Enjin, etc
Blockchain domain names aren’t completely new, and as mentioned there are working examples running on the Etheruem blockchain with ENS.
Another previous example is Handshake, an open-source decentralised naming protocol, and Portal Network a domain name service for several other blockchains like Wanchain, ICON, Qtum, Neo and others.
To corporate examples from IBM and Alibaba
It is exciting to see what future developments we will see happen next. I think we all can agree that domain names is a great example of how the focus has been on the user experience.
Blockchain and cryptocurrency might have a long way still to go but it feels like we are working hard on getting there.
Do you have any other interesting examples of how great UX/UI is helping to make blockchain and crypto more user-friendly? Please share it with us and we it could be something we might write about next.

Hello and welcome to Go Cryptowise.
My name is Per Englund and I’m a long-term fan and investor and trader of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I caught the attention of Bitcoin like many other several years ago, but it was first around 2016/2017 that I truly got into cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
I have since traded, bought, researched and learnt about this new emerging space to the fullest. When not producing crypto-content I create and design new products and businesses. And I want to combine my business experience with my passion to create meaningful content for all our readers.
And I am bringing this vision to my writing and how Go CryptoWise work.

XRP, Tron, Tezos Price Analysis: 01 March

XRP could be in line for another sell-off as the 200-SMA looked to cross above the 50-SMA. Down the ladder, Tron and Tezos were projected to stick to a fixed channel, with a breakout largely dependent on the future movement of market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The bearish nature of XRP’s market was evident on its 4-hour chart as the price remained below the 200-SMA (green) despite a slight recovery at the time of writing. Moreover, the long-term moving average looked positioned to cross above the 50-SMA (blue). The last time this development took place was when a lawsuit was announced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against Ripple which resulted in a massive price drop and a bear market that lasted for over a month.
The MACD line floated just above the signal line but momentum seemed weak on the buying side. The Stochastic RSI also tipped in favor of the bulls. A strong sell-off could be avoided if the indicators maintain a positive stance. If the sell-off does take place at the current level, $0.25 support could be in focus.

Tron continued to trade rangebound between $0.05 and $0.04 as momentum switched sides between the buyers and sellers. The Awesome Oscillator flashed green at the time of writing as momentum diverted back to the buyers. The 24-hour trading volumes surged by over 27% and clocked in at $1.76 billion.
While it looked like Tron was poised to rise above its overhead resistance, low volatility according to the Bollinger Bands worked against a bullish outcome. That could change if buying picks up over the coming sessions. Conversely, a pullback in the broader market could see Tron move towards $0.036 support.
Tezos [XTZ]

A horizontal pattern formed on Tezos‘ 4-hour chart as the price oscillated between a resistance and support line since bouncing back from the $3.2 mark. For traders, sell signals were present on the upper trendline and buy signals on the lower trendline. Considering Tezos’ strong correlation with Bitcoin, the state of the king coin could determine the direction of a breakout from the channel.
The next resistance level lied at $4.3, while the next support rested at $2.7. The MACD line moved above the signal line as bullish momentum was on the up. The RSI also pointed north from around the 50-level.

Why countries like the US can do better in terms of crypto adoption

The interest in cryptocurrencies has been on the rise and the general awareness of the technology and its function as a digital asset has risen substantially in the past few years. While the United States has been open to innovation, the lack of regulatory clarity within the country has raised various concerns between people and businesses in crypto.
Whereas Asia has been enabling wide-spread adoption of cryptocurrency with countries like Japan and Hong Kong trying to form guidelines around cryptos. However, apart from the regulatory differences, the biggest difference could also be with regard to user behavior in these two regions.
Amber Group partner, Annabelle Huang, who recently appeared in Anthony Pompliano’s podcast stated that although the innovations were taking place in the United States of America, the greater chunk of adoption was coming from countries in Asia. The continent has also remained a hub for miners and crypto exchanges and according to Messari’s report, by the end of 2019 six out of ten of the largest cryptocurrency firms are located in Asia.
Huang noted:
“…The biggest difference is just the sentiment and the drive of people. I think in the States, just because there are a lot of regulatory constraints and concerns, people sometimes are more hesitant towards driving the business forward. But, in Asia, I think people are more eager to test things out, get things going on the ground. So, we do see a lot of early adoption in Asia.”
Asia has been a focal point for crypto adoption and nearly 42% of the market capitalization is based in the continent.

The advantage Asia has been offering to new crypto projects is mainly due to the cultural mentality according to Huang who noted that:
“I think we see in Asia, in Korea and Japan, it is hard for people to find yield anywhere. […] Especially like, I guess, in Japan right, all the yields are negative and I think people are perhaps more inclined to find more opportunities and more acceptable to new things, so that’s why I think crypto adoption in Korea and Japan are highest among the world.”
Although China has remained apprehensive about cryptocurrencies, the country has been inching closer to launch its own Digital currency Electronic Payment [DCEP] system. As the market corrects itself, the coming changes in the market could also trigger changes in the sentiment across the globe about crypto, however, the regulations continue to remain in the gray area.
