- The blockchain helps the U.S Air Force take down a new target
- NFT traders get their hands dirty SHOPIFY ð¤THE BLOCKCHAIN Last week, Shopify dropped some [new blockchain tools](. Thatâs right, the multi-billion dollar e-commerce giant ð¤ the blockchain. Merchants can now easily build tokengated apps using NFTs to give exclusive discounts & benefits to customers. Users can also verify themselves with new features like Sign-in With Ethereum, without having to give up any personal information to third-parties (i.e name, address, etc). Itâs a win-win for everyone. Hereâs a sneak peek: [shopify.dev]( This is big because⦠Shopify is an-commerce giant. In 2021, it had⦠- 450M buyers place an order on the platform
- $80B worth of orders processed Now, millions could get exposure to the blockchain and NFTs.

UFOs. You name it. It should be called the USFF (U.S Fuckaroundfindout Force) from now on. But thereâs one problem it hasn't been able to get rid of. And some say itâs scarier than any alien invasion or spying device... Supply chain management. Well, USAF recently [partnered with & invested $30M]( into SIMBA Chain to help shoot down its supply chain problems. - SIMBA Chain helps builds blockchain solutions for govât agencies
- SIMBA Chain will build blockchain-based apps that make supply chain management more efficient
- The blockchain-based solution will also be used by other govât agencies like the Navy, Army and Defense Logistics Agency It isnât the first time SIMBA Chain and USAF are teaming up to take down a target either. Theyâve worked on seven other projects, the most recent being a budgeting & accounting platform called DiBaT. DiBaT is a blockchain solution that tokenized all dollars within the U.S Air Force supply chain budget and tracked those funds across multiple suppliers, purchasing teams, and billing centers. (It also kinda looks like my AIM username in middle school - DaBoSs) Now USAF wants to build a similar blockchain solution to target supply chain management problems. Weâll have to wait & see if itâs a direct hit⦠P.S - Unfortunately, it doesnât look like the blockchain can save us from Independence Day happening IRL. The U.S Air Force will need to assemble Will Smith (aka Captain Hiller), Tom Cruise (aka Captain Maverick) and the Milk Man (aka Captain Calcium) for help on that one. THE RISE OF NFT WASH TRADING NFT traders are getting their hands dirty. And itâs all because a lot of them are spending time washing their trades instead of washing their hands. Wash trading is when one or more traders artificially raise the price of an asset by buying & selling it multiple times. The goal? To make it appear as if there was demand for that asset. If others see thereâs demand, theyâll likely want to invest in that asset too (even at higher prices). There are a few different ways wash trading happens, but this is the most common: - Person(s) creates multiple wallets (wallet 1, wallet 2, etc)
- Wallet 1 buys NFT for $1000 on Monday morning
- Wallet 2 buys NFT from Wallet 1 for $1500 on Monday night
- Wallet 3 then buys NFT from Wallet 2 for $2000 on Tuesday morning On the outside looking in, the NFT is boominâ. Itâs been traded three times, doubled in price in 24 hours, and it looks like profits areðµgoin up on a Tuesdayðµ Another trader thinks itâs a hot investment, so they buy it. But they quickly learn the cold hard truthâ¦itâs a hot investment potato. And turns out thereâs a lot of this happening. According to our friends over at bitsCrunch, $340M+ was wash-traded over the last 30 days (!!). Everyone knows the rules: donât be the last one holding the hot potato. You will get burned. Be careful out there fam. [Check out Unleash NFTs](, bitsCrunch's very own NFT analytics platform, to know more about it. MILKY MEMES ð¤£ð¤£ That's a wrap for today. Stay thirsty & see ya tomorrow!
