Bitpanda began 2019 by gearing up for an interesting year. Find out what we’ve been up to right here in the monthly recap.
App Update With Reworked Two Factor Authentication
Earlier this week, we published version 1.3.0 of our Android app. The update includes a reworked Two Factor Authentication (2FA), be sure to enable 2FA to significantly increase the security of your Bitpanda account. It is generally a good idea to enable the feature for all of your accounts online as 81% of data breaches happen due to weak passwords. You can learn more about 2FA and why it is important in this blog post.
We also added Bitpanda Swap support to the app so you can now conveniently change one cryptocurrency for another any time from your smartphone.

10 Years Of Bitcoin
We celebrated Bitcoin’s tenth birthday with a personal blog post from Bitpanda founder Eric Demuth. It’s an interesting read for everyone who wants to know more about Bitcoin’s history and the future of the industry.
“Bitcoin is for money, what the internet was for information.”

Ethereum Constantinople Interview With Ralph Pichler
We talked to Ralph Pichler, who identified a critical flaw in Ethereum’s planned Constantinople update. The discovery of this vulnerability meant that the update had to be postponed. Ralph is an advisor for Bitpanda and Pantos, you can find the interview with him here.
“I think my biggest takeaway is that one should report possible issues even if it seems too obvious to not already be considered”. Read the full interview: https://t.co/l6stsPS6lm #ethereum #constantinople

Bitpanda And SOS Kinderdorf
We did it! We met our goal and raised 1 BTC to help children’s charity SOS Kinderdrof send Ugandan girls to school. We will now match that goal which means the charity will receive 2 BTC and donations are still ongoing. If you want to help, you can still donate Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP (Ripple) right on their website.
Good news! @SOSKinderdorfAT has exceeded it's goal of raising 1 Bitcoin to help send girls in Uganda to school. Bitpanda pledged to double all donations up to 1 Bitcoin to increase their total amount. Read more about the project on the blog: https://t.co/ptZyGmXony #letgirlslearn pic.twitter.com/hxbM4rgQhd
