To a few who are well informed and know the science, mechanics and finances behind blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, the concept of token creation and application may be very familiar.

CoinFalcon is a U.K. based cryptocurrency exchange that was launched in August 2017.
Since it is a fairly new cryptocurrency exchange, comparing it directly with industry giants such as Coinbase or Binance might not necessarily be fair to it, and may paint an inaccurate picture.
Therefore, we will focus more on what CoinFalcon offers to its customers and what it lacks in providing as an individual exchange.
We’ll be taking this approach, rather than comparing it directly with these industry behemoths in order to keep the analysis fair.
That being said, whether you call it unfortunate or pragmatic, the fact remains that CoinFalcon does have these entities as its direct competition.

We have all seen it happen with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Atom, Bitcoin Dark… the list goes on and on when it comes to altcoins that are just another name for the original Bitcoin with a few new features added to the offering.

That is why when news broke of not one or two, but three new coins originating from Monero all at once, it did send a sense of wonder through the Monero and general cryptocurrency community.

If you own Bitcoin already you may have heard of the Ledger Nano S. It has rapidly become one of the top selling Bitcoin hardware wallets thanks to its affordable price, and excellent ability to secure your Bitcoins from hackers and theft. You may be wondering if it’s really worth it to spend the money on a hardware wallet like this, and that is a very good question.
Incidentally, the Ledger Nano S currently retails for €79 (about $97). Ultimately the decision lies in your hands, but when you consider that other wallets are no more secure than the smartphone, tablet, or computer they reside on (i.e. not very secure against malware and the like at all), you might begin to see why investing in a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S is a smart decision.
