Crypto and Payments Criminal Cases

If you’re confident enough to leave your wallet at home and rely only on your credit card or mobile device when taking a taxi, getting a cup of coffee, or buying groceries then you know that being cashless is not as big of a deal as it was a few years ago. Blockchain technology seems to be the best promoter of this new lifestyle, however, the transition is already occurring even without its help. Maybe using the NFC (near field communication) function inside your phone is not that popular, but swiping a card is something that even your grandparents learned to do. Everyone is aware of where payment systems are heading in the future, and it’s certainly not cash or any other physical assets: it’s all electronic. From Sweden, where only 2% of transactions are currently made in cash, to restaurants like New York’s Amazon Go stores refusing to accept cash, companies are crafting solutions for a cashless future, and the project is helping to hasten that transition with a blockchain-powered solution for small businesses and their customers while being in full compliance with local banks, law enforcement, and local governments. Would you have thought that to be possible? Well, it is and we’re going to explore their solution in this article. NEXXO Who’s ditching cash? Major global hubs are already ditching cash in favor of digital currency. Who’s going to be the one reaching 100% digital payments? We’ll have to wait and see! Sweden Sweden is one of the best examples of a cashless economy today. The percentage of cash in circulation in Sweden has fallen dramatically, representing less than . Only 2% of transactions are made in cash and it’s anticipated that the number will decrease to less than half a percent by 2020.

It’s not accepted at many businesses and many banks won’t deal with cash anymore,” Rod Garrett, an economics professor at the University of California. explained //twitter.com/adrianlovney/status/8281472 It’s common to see throughout Swedish shops. There are even banks that don’t handle cash anymore. The biggest of all, The Riksbank, Sweden’s central bank, is developing a cryptocurrency for mobile payments, called . It’s not all about going strictly digital, though. It’s about safety and efficiency. That’s why they are considering creating a blockchain-based asset for smaller payments between consumers and entities. “No cash accepted” signs e-Krona The US While the Swedish government is supporting the cashless movement, the US, where cash-free establishments spread in recent years, is seeking to introduce legislation this kind of store. The main reason? They are promoting racism and elitism. banning “Most of the people who don’t have credit tend to be lower income, minority, immigrants. It just seemed to me, if not intentional, at least a form of discrimination,” William Greenlee, a Philadelphia City Councilman. said And these are not just words. have already banned stores that are rejecting cash as payment. It will be no surprise if New York or New Jersey will impose similar measures. Massachusetts along with the city of Philadelphia The new law hasn’t even been introduced properly and companies found a potential for a loophole. As Jim Kenney the change that outlaws stores which don’t accept cash, a store can still use only app-based transactions if a paid membership is required to shop there. , which have no cash registers but require an app and an Amazon account (membership) to gain entrance does not fall under the purview of this law. signed off Amazon Go stores //www.cnet.com/news/amazon-might-open-thousands-of-its-grab-and-go-stores-over-the-next-three-years/ Where there is demand, there will always be a way. India The Indian government is taking things slowly, but it’s giving clear signs that being cashless is the long-term goal. In 2016, India 500 and 1,000-rupee notes. The measure was controversial, mostly because it was implemented under the pretext of reducing criminal behavior and roughly 99% of those banknotes have been removed. Since then, electronic transactions increased, but crime rates remained high. After all, this towards cryptocurrencies being blamed for criminal use, resulting in the complete ban of cryptocurrencies. banned backfired Last year, the Reserve Bank of India financial institutions to stop providing services to businesses involved with cryptocurrency, allowing for a three-month grace period. That period has passed and whether or not the Indian government will lift the ban or not remains to be seen. ordered China There’s nothing much to say regarding Chinese government support. However, you can easily tell people’s choice of a cashless society. What’s interesting in this case is that most of the population are avoiding cash and credit cards. They prefer payment applications like Alipay, which currently dominates the space being valued to . $150 billion //www.cnbc.com/2018/04/10/ant-financial-to-raise-9-billion-at-a-150-billion-valuation.html Singapore The tiny island-state is notable due to its openness to new ideas. Actually, the government is supporting its population towards a cashless economy through the . Making it a public movement, the (14.4% of the country’s population) who are still using cash as their only mode of payment know where to find support and become part of the transformation. Could this be the last impediment before becoming completely cashless? Smart Nation initiative seniors United Kingdom Brits no longer carry significant amounts of cash. Just are made in cash. It’s not like it is in Sweden, but they’re making visible progress. It took them a decade to lower themselves from six in 10 and it’s expected to fall to just one in 10 in the next five years. three in every 10 transactions The UK government has seen the trend and they are pushing towards a cashless future. It’s not only about convenience, it’s about the a year the cash infrastructure currently costs to run. But the solution is not that straightforward. A portion of these funds need to be redirected towards a digital infrastructure first. With last year’s incident when shoppers across the UK discovered that their Visa cards had inexplicably due to a network failure, the mission becomes harder and harder. £5 billion stopped working A reliable infrastructure Governments move slow when it comes to technology adoption, while private companies are willing to adopt and test them. Our best example is , a financial technology company. Not new to the market, they have been active and profitable . They’ve seen the potential in blockchain technology and designed a blockchain-powered financial services platform for small businesses. NEXXO since 2014 While big companies have the resources and necessary support from large commercial bankers to handle digital customer purchases, employee salaries, or bill and tax payments, the , delaying the day when we’re going to become entirely cashless. That’s where NEXXO steps in with a banking solution that addresses the underserved and underbanked small business owners. small companies are left aside //www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/sg/Documents/financial-services/sea-fsi-digital-banking-small-medium-enterprises-noexp.pdf NEXXO made a test run once the platform proved itself fully functional, and this is how has seen huge success in Doha, Qatar. The market demand made it the fastest growing fintech company in the Middle East, issuing more than 380,000 bank cards ( ) for over 15,000 small local businesses. That’s right. Real bank cards tied to a local bank account with an IBAN. NEXXO fully complies with local regulatory laws and regulations imposed by the local central bank, government, ministries, and law enforcement entities. QPay MasterCard branded The company is expected to expand into Vietnam, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Egypt, and China in the following years, replicating the success they had in Qatar. As you’ve seen, some regions are more open to a cashless future than others, however, by having the technical solution in place, NEXXO is able to propose a structure that helps central banks take cash out of their system, local banks increase their deposits, Visa and MasterCard expand their transactions, and small businesses get the necessary banking services for cash-free operation. Conclusion It’s pretty clear that we are becoming a cashless society. But by when? That’s the real question. Debit card transactions just overtook their cash equivalents in 2017. The battle is half won. Now the only thing left is to find new solutions to help hasten the process. is already doing its part. From their approach and from our market analysis, the way to reaching a completely cashless system will be segmented, with each region helping its own customers, businesses, and local banks make the transition. When do you think your home country will be ready to ditch the banknotes? NEXXO

Which Region will be the First to Become Entirely Cashless?

Do you think that as the cryptocurrency market is going down in price the whole innovation will be wiped away like nothing ever happened? Blockchain technology is still here and being brought into the spotlight only pushed its evolution even further towards filling the missing link for a cashless future. The fintech (financial technology) industry is the one that benefits the most from blockchain integration and it’s no surprise that new ideas were implemented and become functional projects. We’ve already seen NEXXO allowing small businesses to go cashless in Qatar, TenX making cryptocurrency spendable in Singapore, and OmiseGO being accepted as payment at McDonald’s. //trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2019-01-20%202019-01-24&q=blockchain,cryptocurrency We handcrafted a list of top projects powered by the blockchain that haven’t been affected by the cryptocurrency downfall in 2018, but they are set to grow rapidly in 2019. They are listed in no particular order, each being unique in its own way in solving distinct problems. Let’s dig right in! NEXXO With a solution that addresses a highly under-serviced and under-banked market, developed a complete payment gateway system for e-commerce, offering everything a small business needs in order to go cashless. In this mix, blockchain technology is leveraged as a way to verify the customer’s activity in regard to lowering the risk when offering higher risk products, such as loans, and services that is rarely given to small-sized companies by commercial banks. NEXXO NEXXO has been in operation , currently counting more than 95 employees across Singapore, Cyprus, UAE, India, Pakistan, and Qatar where , the fastest growing fintech company in the Middle East, is located. NEXXO is the majority shareholder of QPAY, acting as their pilot market which proved itself a with more than 300,000 bank cards (MasterCard branded) issued for more than 15,000 small businesses. Given the fact that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar, these numbers are expected to rise significantly over the coming years. But NEXXO already announced its plans to continue its expansion into Vietnam, Pakistan, India, Egypt, and China. since 2014 QPAY success //nexxo.io/assets/staticassets/nexxo-whitepaper.pdf Even with a growing market, one issue regarding their system is already being discussed. The NEXXO bank-card platform is powered by blockchain, so it’s based on private blockchains. This leads to privacy issues as well as centralization concerns. Anyway, the NEXXO team assured its customers that they won’t allow any government to access their internal data, nor allow a foreign entity to monitor internal transactions. There is also a reason for their choice: to fully comply with KYC (know your customer), AML (anti-money laundering), ATF (anti-terrorist funding), and OFAC (US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control) regulatory laws imposed by the local central bank, government, ministries, or law enforcement entities with whom they need to interact. IBM’s Hyperledger NEXXO’s platform is currently focused on servicing small local businesses, but the system can be leveraged and expanded way beyond that. In the future, it can be used to facilitate cross-border commerce, simplifying international financial services. Do you think that the price of Bitcoin can stop that? It doesn’t seem like it because development continues! TenX Developing a cryptocurrency-linked debit card and a mobile wallet, wants to make all crypto assets spendable by allowing digital and physical transactions even if the merchant doesn’t directly accept cryptocurrencies. TenX Since their in June 2017, the TenX team had numerous problems releasing their service: Visa their initial card provider to close all the accounts; due to regulations they had to to the token holders and their president, Julian Hosp, recently from his position in the company. ICO forced stop paying dividends stepped down //cryptonews.com/news/tenx-pay-surges-170-as-cards-go-live-in-singapore-3236.htm However, they strengthened the partnership with , who is developing a gold-backed cryptocurrency, and finally the promised debit cards this year, but only in Singapore. With this news, PAY (their token) went up 170% in only one week. Prices going down? Innovation being killed? Not for TenX. DigixGlobal released SALT Offering cash loans in return for cryptocurrency collateral, managed to serve those who are in need of cash but don’t want to sell their tokens. While banks refuse to see any value in cryptocurrencies, platforms like SALT seem to be the only option for anyone who has their funds locked in blockchain assets. SALT Their initial platform was released at the end of 2017 and since then they issued in loans to more than 50,000 people in only one year. In this time, they already had one third-party audit, they obtained a sandbox license for , and they served customers in 45 of the 50 US states and in 9 other countries across the globe. $54 million Mauritius //blog.saltlending.com/2018-year-in-review-45f6e2855682 Due to regulations, however, that’s . The majority of the US states are not able to apply for loans of any kind anymore, only UK and New Zealand are supported currently. Users can only become lenders if they went through a KYC/AML verification and brought proof that they are accredited investors. not the reality anymore Is SALT affected by cryptocurrency prices going down? Not really. It’s just going through a phase where it needs to regain its legal status. While that’s settled, the platform will continue to service more and more crypto holders. Stellar Moving toward the goal of allowing people to move money internationally in a quicker and cheaper way than the banks do, built a blockchain-based platform that facilitates global cross-asset transfers. Stellar The Stellar network was launched in 2014 and in over four years of work they developed an ecosystem to support their mission: it functions as a smart contract platform, allowing anyone to create tokens and launch ICOs, develop an exchange. The remarkable evolution brought them 37 new partnerships in 2017 alone: with Deloitte to build a cross-border payments application, with IBM to develop a blockchain-based cross-border payments solution, and with Grant Program, which awards organizations that provide products and services vital for the network. //coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/ However, when it comes to the native asset of the Stellar network, XLM, there are some concerns. Even if there was no ICO to launch it, Stripe (a fintech startup) in the form of a $3 million loan, which was repaid with 2 billion XLM from the 100 billion XLM that was initially created. While the Stellar team and Stripe have agreed not to sell any of their tokens received for at least five years, the agreement expires this year. provided funding Despite the fact that Stellar does visible development advancements, the price of XLM that placed it as the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has declined by . It might be the fear of a sell-off from the team or, as its CEO, Jed McCaleb, , “The company hasn’t done the best job marketing its products.” As long as that’s the only problem, building a reliable product won’t be affected by the market’s movements in any way. 57% already admits OmiseGO Replacing the archaic payment tools with a decentralized payment network based on an open, public financial system, is a decentralized bank, exchange, and asset-backed blockchain gateway with a mission to help the people with no access to financial services across the globe. OmiseGO OmiseGO was founded in 2017 and it was the first Ethereum project to surpass $1 billion in value. But we can’t overlook its headstart given by its parent company, . This platform is an online payment gateway created in 2013 and it’s on the market in Southeast Asia and Japan. Its solution is already accepted by more than 10,000 merchants across the Asia, such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Alipay, Bose, and Allianz. There was no surprise when the same McDonald’s and Burger King already starting to accept OMG token as a form of payment. From there, the vendor list increased up to and got endorsed by the Bank of Thailand and the Thai Ministry of Finance. Omise 35 companies OmiseGO saw very strong attention during its ICO, accumulating throughout the crowdsale and $20 million in private investments. Anyway, the distribution of the tokens is discussed even today alongside complaints that it is too centralized: 100 accounts own about 65% of the total supply; the supply of which is capped and new tokens won’t be issued because OMG is not minable. $25 million //www.coinbase.com/price/omisego The OMG price fluctuates, having started the year with a 6% increase after a technical update regarding its development and a Korean card provider, , already having made its first transaction using the network. This shows as that the platform is still under heavy development and it’s far from being affected by the cryptocurrency downfall. Plasma ShinhanCard The evolution of blockchain technology is remarkable and many more talented teams will leverage its unique use cases to push innovation in their industry even further. For now, the financial industry is the most obvious place where changes are already happening. Can 2019 be the year where one of these services explode and open the mainstream path for blockchain use despite the market decline?

Deadpool and Wolverine is currently taking the world by storm. It has officially surpassed the $1 billion mark and has dethroned Joker to become the highest-grossing rated R film of all time. Everyone’s talking about it, and the one thing that people are talking about the most is all the cameos. MCU movies, especially now that they’re in their Multiverse phase, are filled with a litany of cameos and easter eggs, and Deadpool and Wolverine is no exception. With so many appearing throughout the film, even the most eagle-eyed MCU fan would find it hard to spot them all out. So, to help you out, here are all the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos in order. Want to share your own thoughts on popular media? Start publishing on HackerNoon today! All the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos Happy Hogan One of the O.G.s of the MCU, Happy Hogan has been a part of the universe since the very first Iron Man. His character has evolved throughout the years, and in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is seen managing the Avengers. Thor The God of Thunder makes a brief appearance where he’s seen comforting Deadpool on one of the TVA’s monitors. Whether this was just a one-off joke or indicative of a future storyline remains to be seen. Wolverine Variants in Deadpool and Wolverine As Deadpool goes around the multiverse looking for a Wolverine to help him, he comes across several unique-looking ones, including: Patch Wolverine’s spy alter-ego makes a quick cameo during the variants montage. Sporting his iconic white suit, he makes quick work of Deadpool. Old Man Logan We’ve already seen an adaptation of Old Man Logan before (from the Logan film), but now, we get to see a more comic-accurate version of the character. Callverine The (former) Superman actor makes a quick cameo as Wolverine which causes Deadpool to have a nerdgasm. Weapon Omega Wolverine Even with one hand, he still manages to beat the brakes off Deadpool. Uncanny X-Men Wolverine I have no idea how Wolverine got himself into this situation, but to be completely honest, it might be better not knowing. First-Appearance Wolverine And speaking of the first-appearance variant of the Wolverine, another MCU hero is also shown in that scene… The Hulk The jolly green giant can be seen fighting Wolverine and smacking the hell out of Deadpool. The Human Torch Chris Evans returns to the MCU to reprise a superhero role, and it’s not Captain America. Years before he picked up the iconic shield, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sabretooth Tyler Mane played Logan’s brother in the very first X-Men movie. Now, 24 years later, he once again returns to play Sabretooth in a very brief but enjoyable cameo. Pyro Another X-Men villain alumni who appeared in the film was Pyro from the original X-Men film trilogy. Pyro surprisingly gets more screen time than his contemporaries, but this was a welcomed surprise as he was great in the role. And Pyro and Sabretooth aren’t the only X-men villains who make it into the film, there are plenty more who show up, including: Toad The green and gross character has made two appearances in live-action movies before: the first time was in X-Men (2000), and the second time was in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Azazel The resident teleporter of the Hellfire Club, Azazel returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of Cassandra’s goons. Lady Deathstrike Lady Deathstrike was last seen battling Wolverine to death in X2. Spoiler alert, but she lost. Like in a gruesome way. However, it would be nice to see the character fight Wolverine or even X-23 in the future. Psylocke The sword-wielding mutant was last seen as one of Apocalypse’s horsewomen in X-Men: Apocalypse. Random side note: I had no idea the character also made an appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and I’ve seen that movie numerous times. Callisto Callisto had a pretty substantial role in X-Men: The Last Stand as one of Magneto’s supporters and foil to Storm. Blob To be honest, I had no idea he was in the movie until I saw a professional wrestler do an interview where he talked about his experience being the Blob in Deadpool and Wolverine. Might have to do a rewatch to see if I can spot him in the background 👀 Juggernaut Although the Juggernaut gets no lines in the movie, he does play a pretty big part in it. Or at least, his helmet does. The Russian Apart from the X-Men bad guys, another villain who returns to the big screen is The Russian from The Punisher (2004). Alioth The unstoppable force known as Alioth returns to the MCU. He was first seen in the Disney+ show Loki. Now, this movie has had a ton of bad guys, but they’ve also brought back old heroes (including a brand new one). Blade Blade wasn’t Marvel’s first film, but it was one of its first hits. The Blade film predates the X-Men and Spider-Man films, and it’s nice to see the character and the actor (Wesley Snipes) get the recognition they deserve. Elektra Jennifer Gardner’s Elektra didn’t have a ton of success. She was introduced in Daredevil (2003), a movie that most people would say is just okay. Then, 2 years later, she starred in her own film, which most people would say is downright bad. However, she finally gets her redemption in Deadpool and Wolverine. Gambit Channing Tatum’s Gambit isn’t a returning hero. This was the first time the actor portrayed the character. He was supposed to star in his own movie many years ago, but after roadblock after roadblock, it never materialized. Now, Channing Tatum’s dream finally comes true, and I would say that his performance stole the show (or the movie). X-23 The breakout star of the film Logan returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of the survivors in the Void. After the touching but tragic ending of Logan, it’s nice to see X-23 and Wolverine together again. Deadpool Corps Actors At the climax of the film, we see the Deadpool Corps. A group of Deadpools pulled together from different universes. And you won’t believe the actors that played these characters. Matthew McConaughey plays Cowboypool
Nathan Fillion plays Headpool
Football player Paul Mullin plays Welshpool
Blake Lively plays Ladypool
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids play Babypool and Kidpool And that’s a wrap for the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo guide. If you think there’s a cameo or special appearance that I missed, let me know in the comments below! Read More Now That the Dust Has Settled, Is 'Deadpool and Wolverine' Actually Good?

Everyone’s talking about it, and the one thing that people are talking about the most is all the cameos. $1 billion mark MCU movies, especially now that they’re in their Multiverse phase, are filled with a litany of cameos and easter eggs, and Deadpool and Wolverine is no exception. With so many appearing throughout the film, even the most eagle-eyed MCU fan would find it hard to spot them all out. So, to help you out, here are all the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos in order.

Start publishing on HackerNoon today! publishing All the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos Happy Hogan One of the O.G.s of the MCU, Happy Hogan has been a part of the universe since the very first Iron Man. His character has evolved throughout the years, and in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is seen managing the Avengers. Thor The God of Thunder makes a brief appearance where he’s seen comforting Deadpool on one of the TVA’s monitors. Whether this was just a one-off joke or indicative of a future storyline remains to be seen. Wolverine Variants in Deadpool and Wolverine As Deadpool goes around the multiverse looking for a Wolverine to help him, he comes across several unique-looking ones, including: Patch Wolverine’s spy alter-ego makes a quick cameo during the variants montage. Sporting his iconic white suit, he makes quick work of Deadpool. Old Man Logan We’ve already seen an adaptation of Old Man Logan before (from the Logan film), but now, we get to see a more comic-accurate version of the character. Callverine The (former) Superman actor makes a quick cameo as Wolverine which causes Deadpool to have a nerdgasm. Weapon Omega Wolverine Even with one hand, he still manages to beat the brakes off Deadpool. Uncanny X-Men Wolverine I have no idea how Wolverine got himself into this situation, but to be completely honest, it might be better not knowing. First-Appearance Wolverine And speaking of the first-appearance variant of the Wolverine, another MCU hero is also shown in that scene… The Hulk The jolly green giant can be seen fighting Wolverine and smacking the hell out of Deadpool. The Human Torch Chris Evans returns to the MCU to reprise a superhero role, and it’s not Captain America. Years before he picked up the iconic shield, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sabretooth Tyler Mane played Logan’s brother in the very first X-Men movie. Now, 24 years later, he once again returns to play Sabretooth in a very brief but enjoyable cameo. Pyro Another X-Men villain alumni who appeared in the film was Pyro from the original X-Men film trilogy. Pyro surprisingly gets more screen time than his contemporaries, but this was a welcomed surprise as he was great in the role. And Pyro and Sabretooth aren’t the only X-men villains who make it into the film, there are plenty more who show up, including: Toad The green and gross character has made two appearances in live-action movies before: the first time was in X-Men (2000), and the second time was in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Azazel The resident teleporter of the Hellfire Club, Azazel returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of Cassandra’s goons. Lady Deathstrike Lady Deathstrike was last seen battling Wolverine to death in X2. Spoiler alert, but she lost. Like in a gruesome way. However, it would be nice to see the character fight Wolverine or even X-23 in the future. Psylocke The sword-wielding mutant was last seen as one of Apocalypse’s horsewomen in X-Men: Apocalypse. Random side note: I had no idea the character also made an appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and I’ve seen that movie numerous times. Callisto Callisto had a pretty substantial role in X-Men: The Last Stand as one of Magneto’s supporters and foil to Storm. Blob To be honest, I had no idea he was in the movie until I saw a professional wrestler do an interview where he talked about his experience being the Blob in Deadpool and Wolverine. Might have to do a rewatch to see if I can spot him in the background 👀 interview Juggernaut Although the Juggernaut gets no lines in the movie, he does play a pretty big part in it. Or at least, his helmet does. The Russian Apart from the X-Men bad guys, another villain who returns to the big screen is The Russian from The Punisher (2004). Alioth The unstoppable force known as Alioth returns to the MCU. He was first seen in the Disney+ show Loki. Now, this movie has had a ton of bad guys, but they’ve also brought back old heroes (including a brand new one). Blade Blade wasn’t Marvel’s first film, but it was one of its first hits. The Blade film predates the X-Men and Spider-Man films, and it’s nice to see the character and the actor (Wesley Snipes) get the recognition they deserve. Elektra Jennifer Gardner’s Elektra didn’t have a ton of success. She was introduced in Daredevil (2003), a movie that most people would say is just okay. Then, 2 years later, she starred in her own film, which most people would say is downright bad. However, she finally gets her redemption in Deadpool and Wolverine. Gambit Channing Tatum’s Gambit isn’t a returning hero. This was the first time the actor portrayed the character. He was supposed to star in his own movie many years ago, but after roadblock after roadblock, it never materialized. Now, Channing Tatum’s dream finally comes true, and I would say that his performance stole the show (or the movie). X-23 The breakout star of the film Logan returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of the survivors in the Void. After the touching but tragic ending of Logan, it’s nice to see X-23 and Wolverine together again. Deadpool Corps Actors At the climax of the film, we see the Deadpool Corps. A group of Deadpools pulled together from different universes. And you won’t believe the actors that played these characters. Matthew McConaughey plays Cowboypool Nathan Fillion plays Headpool Football player Paul Mullin plays Welshpool Blake Lively plays Ladypool Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids play Babypool and Kidpool Matthew McConaughey plays Cowboypool Nathan Fillion plays Headpool Football player Paul Mullin plays Welshpool Blake Lively plays Ladypool Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids play Babypool and Kidpool And that’s a wrap for the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo guide.

After a brief hiatus, the #OptOut writing contest, which kicked off earlier this year, is back. We’ll get into the details shortly. First, a quick reminder of why #OptOut was launched in the firstplace: The #OptOut Writing Contest, presented by Ãut Labs and HackerNoon, is dedicated to Web3 hacktivists who champion true decentralization. It serves as a rallying cry against monopolies and centralized structures that threaten the promise of freedom within the Web3 ecosystem. The contest's opening theme, 'OptOut of a System that doesn’t represent you,' revisited the foundational ideals of decentralized technologies through the lens of #autonomy, #identity, and #self-sovereignty. And as we shared in the winners' announcement, we were blown away by the talent and creativity on display. Now, we are thrilled to unveil 2 new themes for the final stage of the #OptOut Writing Contest: Theme 2: Create Your Own Standard


Theme 3: Break Ties with the Status Quo These themes and their respective subtopics—3 each—will run concurrently. Participants can compete for a total prize pool of $6000 in USDT by submitting valid entries before submissions close on October 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM EST. #OptOut Writing Contest: Final Stage Structure Theme 2 - Create Your Own Standard With a prize pool of $3k (in USDT) for 6 writers, this theme is split into 3 main subtopics.Here’s how you should tackle them: #interaction: Trace the evolution of digital interactions from early Internet forums to contemporary social media giants. Consider decentralized web technologies such as Verifiable Credentials (VC), Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), and Āut’s Interaction Tree. Discuss Web3’s potential as a decentralized social fabric, highlighting concepts like shared ownership, incentivized participation, and enforceable rules via blockchain technology. #reputation: How can reputation be evaluated in the digital space? Consider Āut's innovative Āutonomy Matrix and its unified system for measuring participation-based Global Reputation in fully decentralized environments. Examine the historical evolution of reputation across civilizations and its modern-day significance in a decentralized, non-hierarchical society. #trust: What does trust mean today? is it obsolete or more relevant than ever in a decentralized world? Consider whether reliance on mathematically verifiable systems in decentralized environments constitutes a form of trust in itself. Detailed writing prompts for this theme and its topics can be found here. Please review them thoroughly before starting your draft. Prizes for Theme 2 A total of $3000 (in USDT)  is up for grabs - $1000 for each tag #interaction, #reputation, and #trust.Prize breakdown for each tag: 1st place - $750 in USDT2nd place - $250 in USDT Theme 3 -  Break Ties with the Status Quo With a prize pool of $3k (in USDT) for 6 writers, this theme is also split into 3 main topics.\Here’s how you should approach them: #coordination: Explore the evolution and impact of coordination from early history to modern technology, using creative analogies, real-world examples, and decentralized models.
