It is a question I have though about: is bitcoin rising or is it that the rest of the currencies are just monopoly money. in my view pricing in bitcoin would be difficult at this moment. The fight is now between the USD and the RMN or Yuan.

These two are de-facto the reserve currency, but given how the FED and the CBC are printing money there might be a case to compare prices with the bitcoin equivalent.

it would be a safe, secured, difficult to tamper and widely available method of travelling and proving that an individual has had a vaccine. No borders, no language, no need to carry papers around. just you bio linked a a recognised signature and you are good to fly. Perhaps this looks too futuristic, but the technology is already there and could be a great testing ground.

Yes, that would be a way forward. With your own chain you are all the sudden a bank and a transfer system. Just imagine the economic energy of Apple or Facebook customer base captured by "Applecoin". All the sudden you have millions adopting the coin and Appel grows into a immense Fintech that might someday be larger than the current company.
 
Is just like starting a bank, but you already have millions of clients from day 0, some of them unable to access the traditional banking system and all linked to a platform that is known for growing virally.

Actually, the value did dip a few hours after his comments so it may be masked by the general bull run that seems to be happening during the last months. Bill Gates does not mean much for a retail Bitcoiner, but his word does carry weight in the investment world, even if only for the circle of friends he's got and lately bitcoin is being invested by non-retail much more than before.

Certainly, this happens when you bet for a team with very good odds, kind of thinking of an easy small win and then the underdog scores. The odds shift so dramatically that you do not get a chance to bail-out and there is a too big of a material loss to close the bet.

Sound like an expensive alternative to be honest. Many houses would give you better freebies or chances if you are going wit a large amount of money, but with 5000$ there is an expectation of you staying there and spend all quite quickly for that scheme to work.

It not unusual to be honest, firstly they have the right to do so, secondly they may be managing more than one campaign and thirdly and being honest, many people are working in the forum in whatever is more profitable at the moment. No criticism here, I have translated and signed for another campaign myself. One other reason is to spread your risk, since many campaigns disappear into thin air for one reason or another.

No doubt the Ethereum network is super-clogged as of now. There are a number of projects that require the execution of smart contracts to distribute earnings, tokens or the execution of DApps that are currently thinking on moving to some less cool and distributed networks to others such as the Binnance chain that are private but terribly gas and cost effective.

On a similar topic, there are always discussion why Apple does not use it's platform to build a search engine to compete with Google. Some think that Apple clients actually do want google to be their default engine, some people argue that Google is technologically dominant. My take is that for now, there is enough open market to grow for all the giants, but when that shrinks it may be open war.

The Capital in the XXI Century by Thomas Piketty core thesis is that the natural tendency for the capital is to concentrate into a few hands unless legislative provisions are made to avoid it. Also, along with it, come social unrest and the rise of extremisms such as Nazism or Communism.

"The Rich" do have "too much" at this point in time and that is showing in the social unrest in non-democratic countries and the type of parties and leaders elected in those that are democratic.

A few outlets have echoed Biden's 100 days review of the semiconductors chain of supply, main due to the persistent low level of stocks that are hindering the works of the automobile industry, among others. This comes along other industries reviews.

I see that electronical self-sufficiency could be equivalent to the current energetic independency or self sufficiency that many developed countries try to achieve. And for the future of Crypto and letting my imagination fly, I see that a national mining equipment manufacturer specialised in ASICS (be that GPUs or other) could be an asset to consider.

Cathie Wood is no small name in investment. She founded and manages the largest actively managed investment fund of 2021 (ARK)

She recently expressed her very optimistic outlook on the future of the NFTs as a way of making investment in art less of an art (pun intended) and a very likely possibility of retail banking being disrupted (further) by the "wallets" and cryptocurrencies.

This is not a wannabe genius, but someone who is exceptional at picking winners. Original interview here.

Este link es sobre gel de baño ?

El otro artículo es muy interesante si. Aunque creo q revive viejos argumentos contra el bitcoin q no son ciertos, no deja de ser un problema en una época en la que los bulos y los hechos son simplemente cuestión de elección personal y poder mediático. Mi esperanza es q el sistema financiero, q tiene un poder hipertrofiado en USA puede ver la potencialidad de bitcoin para generar ingresos y convertirse en adalid de la red.

Find the differences between these two:

China's domestic security agencies are going a massive purge

Sources: Trump wants to purge staffers deemed disloyal

Does moral high-ground matter in politics any longer? Is all about winning or does actually convincing matter?

Las noticias recientes indican que va a haber una enorme purga en las agencias de seguridad y el aparato estatal de China. Bajo las habituales, y posiblemente ciertas, razones de lucha contra la corrupcion, eliminacion de carteles y mafias, etc. no cabe duda que Mr Xi va a librarse de todo aquel que resulte molesto para su llegada al Congreso del PCC (que de comunista ya no tiene nada).

La purga del 2017 alcanzon a numerosos miembros del comite central

En teoria Xi deberia dejar paso a otro diriginte tras su mandato de 10 anios, pero no tiene intencion ninguna de hacerlo con lo cual China puede consolidarse como un regimen no solo autoritario, sino de culto al lider unico.

Aproximadamente el 60% de las pools de minado de Bitcoin se encuentran en China, si bien eso no es cierto respecto a la capacidad de minado, que esta mas distribuida. Depender tanto de un lider unico puede suponer un factor de inestabilidad?

I think that the connection between traditional investment an investment in Bitcoin as an alternative asset by the big player will start to create a link between inflation, rates and the price of bitcoin. It is traditionally well established that stock drop when bond rates rise. Will that happen to bitcoin prices? Is there still a place to hide if bitcoin becomes fully connected?

Ahí le has dado completamente, primero el 2018, donde salieron monedas hasta para peinar a los calvos... casi todas hoy en el cementerio de tokens y como bien dices... McAfee :O

No se siguen en pie, me los voy a mirar un poco, pero el problema en estas cosas suele ser la confianza, u posible proyecto tendría q tener unas garantías legales importantes. Hoy he escuchado en un podcast q efectivamente se ha tokenizado un Picasso y otro "problema" es q el ser propietario de una obra te da derecho no sólo a venderla sino a disfrutarla, exponerla,... No es lo mismo q tener derecho sobre una fracción de la misma.

I know, I was quite a bit into ether a few years ago. I got some good ICOs, some bad ICOs, some great bounties translating and some really horrible ones. Overall, I would say that I managed to earn some crypto from that, but hardly worth the effort. The best thing: I learned quite a bit and had some fun in the "roaring 2018".

I still have in my wallet around 10 shittokens and 2 that are still worth something. Some teams proved themselves worth, yet it was so difficult to tell.
