$50,000 or $80,000 for a electric car. There are filters available which can be fitted in exhaust pipe of petrol/gasoline and diesel cars. These filters remove carbon from car emissions. Petrol and diesel cars can also environment friendly. Read More..Carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to all sorts of environmental ills. Improvements in car design are helping the issue, but the CO2ube Kickstarter project wants to take carbon dioxide filtration to any car on the road.The CO2ube attaches onto the end of your tailpipe using hose clamps. A combination of algae and sodium hydroxide filters out the carbon dioxide as it exits from car. A single CO2ube is going for a pledge price of $45. The company behind the product, Ecoviate, has created working prototypes and is looking to produce the device in quantity. A smartphone app is also intended to accompany the CO2ube. The app would let you track your emissions over time. https://www.cnet.com/news/co2ube-filters-out-carbon-dioxide-from-your-tailpipe/

There were 9/11 terrorist attacks in which 4 large planes were crashed into 3 giant buildings by hijackers/terrorists. Still they show all those nonsense actions and fights in hollywood movies and other movies. Superheroes and action heroes saving the world.
Afghanistan war is in its 18th year now. Suicide bombings and terrorist attacks on military and police. Last year, 10 terrorists killed 160 Afghan soldiers in a single attack.
But people still pay $20 or $80 for tickets to watch those nonsense movies and the movie directors, production houses, movie theatres earn $100 million or $800 million from a single movie.
Money wasting is also economics.
After 9/11 attacks in USA, all the superheroes (superman, spiderman etc.. must have been scrapped)

The 2 pilots were parachuting down when they were shot and killed in mid-air. In 2018, Russia sold S-400 missiles system to Turkey instead of sending Russian special forces into Turkey.

The agent who worked on the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia told his colleague and lover that the agency would work to “stop” Donald Trump from becoming president.FBI special agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page – who were having an affair – briefly worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ‘Russiagate’ investigation. They exchanged thousands of text messages, some of which were pointedly anti-Trump.“[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page texted Strzok in one exchange in August 2016. “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok replied.The messages were first made public on Thursday, ahead of the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the FBI’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server use. Strzok and Page had worked on that investigation as well.Page’s question had been previously published, but Strzok’s reply had been redacted until now. Republicans and President Trump have argued that these messages showed proof of bias within the agency. “A man is tweeting to his lover that if [Clinton] loses, we’ll essentially do the insurance policy,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal earlier this year. “We’ll go to phase two and we’ll get this guy out of office.”. “This is the FBI we’re talking about — that is treason,” the president continued. “That is a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.” https://www.rt.com/usa

I think now fixed deposit interest rates are less than 5% p.a in USA and Europe. In India fixed deposit rates are 6.5%.
Gold and Silver gives average profit of 8% to 12% per year. Silver will most likely give 20% to 30% profit each year from here on to reach $60/ounce.
Example:
Profit for gold and silver for year 2016 is 12%.
Profit for gold and silver for year 2017 is 0%
Profit for gold and silver for year 2018 is 8%
Profit for gold and silver for year 2019 is 16%
So average profit for 4 years is +9%
How secured/safe are investments in gold and silver if you decide to remove/withdraw your money from banks fixed deposits and invest them in Gold and silver ??

"Bitcoin has now gone 173 days without a new high. Longest streak ever was 1,176 days (from Dec 2013 to Feb 2017)." So I came across this fact on twitter, and checked obviously (always DYOR haha) so what do guys think this says about BTCs current position, or what it does for the much anticipated bull run.
Bitcoin fell from $7500 to $6700 today. If bitcoin goes to $21,000 (new high price) it will be in year 2030 only

"A third world war could be the end of civilization," Putin went on, saying the high stakes "should restrain us from taking extreme steps on the international arena that are highly dangerous for modern civilization." Perhaps more than any other country, Russia has the nuclear capability to end the world. With around 7,000 nuclear weapons, and the most diverse and destructive nuclear arsenal, Putin could unilaterally decide to embark on a civilization-ending war. The US and other Western countries sanctioned Russia in 2014 over its illegal annexation of Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea in Ukraine.Russian President Vladimir Putin's annual call-in question show contained broad talk of improving Russia's economy, the upcoming soccer World Cup - and some ominous warnings about World War III. Putin frequently frames his country as resisting Western aggression designed to hold back Russia, often citing Western sanctions on the Russians economy. But asked about those sanctions on Thursday, Putin said they were "because Russia is seen as a threat, because Russia is seen as becoming a competitor." "It is clear to us that we have to defend our interests, and to do so consistently, not boorishly or rudely, in both the sphere of the economy and of defence," said Putin. "The pressure will end when our partners will be persuaded that the methods they are using are ineffective, counterproductive and harmful to all." When asked whether "non-stop" sanctions could lead to World War III, Putin pulled an Albert Einstein quote to deliver a dark warning. He said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones," NBC News reports. https://www.businessinsider.in

Now Ripple is at $0.60. I read that Ripple is heavily centralized, working with big banks and money transfer companies like Moneygram and Western Union.
Only when Bitcoin goes to $16,000 there will be 100% profit. That is too high when Bitcoin was $200 in year 2013. Who has $8000 to buy 1 Bitcoin when all the signs say Bitcoin going back to $2,000 ?
Will people sell Bitcoin at $8,000 and take back the money when $8,000 can be invested in many places

The next big Earthquake (9.5) is predicted for Japan. Japan got hit by some big earthquakes and Tsunamis since Japan is in Earthquake prone region. So Japanese people must leave Japan and go to other countries. Japan has the money since Japan has been among the top 5 economies for past decades. Japan also has the technology. Japan is in the Ring of Fire so it gets the most Earthquakes. Joe of Dual Survival once said "Mother Nature will kick you in the face" when he did the TV show where Joe and Matt had to cross a flowing river. Read more..At least 62 people are now feared dead in what is the largest eruption seen at the site since the 1970s. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Guatemala. The seismic event comes just hours after the eruption of the country’s Fuego volcano which killed 62 people and forced thousands to flee their homes. The quake was recorded 65 miles (105km) south of Champerico, a district along Guatemala’s southwestern coastline, according to the US Geological Survey. With the earthquake’s epicenter out at sea and close to an oceanic trench known as the Middle America plate boundary, it’s not immediately clear whether any damaged has been caused to homes or infrastructure on land.The quake comes as explosions could be heard coming from Guatemala’s Fuego volcano throughout the day Monday, covering local communities in volcanic rock and ash. https://www.rt.com/news

Some 20 years back, I had gone to the national park for hiking during rains. It was raining quite heavily that day. When we were some distance inside the National park few young men were shouting like crazy. So I said "water has gone into their heads". Everybody had a good laugh.
Many years back, I was traveling by train. 4 people sit on a long seat (cramped). Since I am bodybuilder and the other 2 men on the seat were also bodybuilders, only 3 men could sit there and my left hand was outside the seat. When the station arrived, a man entered the compartment and started telling me to allow him to sit and he would not stop. I was confused so the other bodybuilder said "look at the size of the men here".
There is a mini mini woodland where I live and I go there for walks. A friend of mine told me a woman who lives in the other side building said she saw ghost in the mini woodland. So I told my friend "she must have seen me there"

If people buy Bitcoin at $8,000, they will get 100% profit only when Bitcoin reaches $16,000. If it takes 5 years to reach $16,000, people will earn more money from Gold and Silver than from Bitcoin. Silver is giving 20% to 35% profit in one year.
Mining cost of one Bitcoin is $5,000 or more. When Bitcoin was $400 or $800 it was understandable because people had to just spend $400 or $800 to get one Bitcoin and $1,200 is super high profits when Bitcoin started from $1.

Residents have been staging protests for months, saying that the smelter is causing environmental damage.India's Tamil Nadu state - where the copper smelter is based - has said it wants it permanently closed on environmental grounds.But Vedanta has said it plans to continue operations. Mr McDonnell said removing Vedanta from the London Stock Exchange "would prevent further reputational damage to London's financial markets from this rogue corporation". http://www.bbc.com/news
