Tesla initially bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins and recently said they hadn't sold Dogecoin. Overall, the company's account came with $936 million.Tesla did not specify how many Bitcoins it had initially bought or how many has it sold now, but Elon Musk last year had hinted that the company may have invested in 42,000 Bitcoins. The company even started accepting payments in Bitcoin for a brief period, before discontinuing it, citing environmental concerns. I see a loss here, see what official statement comes from Tesla company

Online publication Axios estimated the monetary impact of the bitcoin crash at $250 billion. But this conjecture reflects the utility for cryptocurrencies and a misunderstood understanding of the markets. There is already substantial investment in the blockchain, the underlying technology of bitcoin. Furthermore, the price movement of bitcoin suggests that it is emerging as a store of value. Cryptocurrencies are also useful as a means of exchanging value within a closed ecosystem.

That said, it will be some time before their utility is realized within mainstream applications.If bitcoin falls, I'm curious how much the price will fall because it will obviously make many people panic and sell their bitcoins fast. The current rise in prices for most cryptocurrencies is mostly the result of a domino effect from bitcoin’s surge. It is quite likely that a bitcoin price crash will result in a correction in their prices as well. It is also certain that the vast majority of cryptocurrencies that populate the current listings will disappear. Only digital currencies that have defined business models and clear utility within mainstream society will survive a crash.

Latin American Crypto Firm Ripio Launches Prepaid Crypto Card in Brazil.

Payments can be made in any of 28 different cryptocurrencies, and the debit card also offers 5% cashback rewards in bitcoin.

"The 5% cashback in BTC is an excellent yield tool for users and certainly far superior to the options offered by traditional financial institutions," said Sebastian Serrano, CEO of Ripio.

Henrique Teixeira, Ripio's global head of new business, expects 250,000 users will be leveraging the prepaid card by December later this year. Thus, in order to accomplish the necessary scale for the platform, Teixeira expects that the company will spend near R$1.5 million on the new product.

I am hoping that companies in other countries will adopt that including the US. That would be the card of choice in my wallet

Ever wondered why some of your holdings are performing worse than others?  A major factor behind this that is often overlooked is tokenomics.  A project with a good team or big investment can perform poorly if their Tokenomics plan is not executed properly.

 What is Tokenomics?
 Tokenomics is an acronym for Token + Economics.  So, this is a token or coin related idea.  You can think of Tokenomics as the economic environment of each project's token.  But this idea works against the regular economy of society which is usually controlled by government or bankers.  The crypto economy is completely regulated by code.  So, it means some terms like, "What is the token used for? What is the underlying protocol? Who receives the token as a reward? All the terms are based on the code of the project. Crypto projects basically create their own micro-economy system with their goal which is Tokenomics.  Also known as Tokenomics is very important for any crypto project to reveal its position.

How to avoid emotional trading?

It is not about getting rid of your emotions, but rather about understanding and controlling them. To achieve this, a trader must:

1. Have a solid trading plan

You need to have a clearly defined plan - which system you will use (whether it is fundamental analysis or technical analysis or a mix of both), its advantages and disadvantages, how you will identify trades, how you will manage them.

This needs to be accompanied by a trading journal, where you can write down your observations, identify your weaknesses and build on your strengths which can help you avoid common trading mistakes and become a profitable trader. Jumping from strategy to strategy will do no good and emotional trading will take over.

2. Understand their risk appetite

Some traders might be comfortable taking larger risks and manage to keep a cool head even if they are facing a not-so-small drawdown. However, if you are just starting or generally have a lower risk appetite, this is unlikely to end well. You first need to identify your own risk appetite and plan accordingly.

3. Know when to take a break

If you feel stressed and exhausted, you are more likely to make mistakes or engage in revenge trading. It could be a good idea to set a rule for yourself that will define after how many consecutive losing trades you will take a break and stop trading until you have reviewed what happened.

After all, it is not just trading that can cause stress and lead to a losing streak. There could be external factors that are having a negative impact on your mental state, and it is perhaps better to take a break from trading should you be facing such a situation.

Copy:

Almost no coding expert is recommending PoS for Bitcoin.

So many Altcoins are using PoS already but it is clearly because devs have more power in PoS by hoarding a large chunk of premined coins, so Altcoin dev's choice is PoS.

Bitcoin is better in PoW, no need to change to PoS.

Now, we can wait and watch, what will be better but I expect many PoS coins will fail.

In addition, PoS is an unfair consensus because rich stakers are getting richer every time.

PoS is just not fair.

Replacement of Russian gas by LNG has largely reached its limit. Lower imports from Russia can now only be met by reducing EU gas demand. Immediate deployment of a coordinated EU approach offers the best option to reduce substantially the overall gas demand-reduction cost. For the EU as a whole, a total demand reduction over the next 10 months of about 15% compared to average demand in 2019-2021 would be required to compensate for a complete stopping of Russian pipeline imports. For EU countries (arranged into regional groupings), we calculate the required reduction as ranging from zero to -54%.

The richest man in China said, “If you put the bananas and money in front of the monkeys, the monkeys will choose bananas because the monkeys don't know that money can buy a lot of bananas.

In fact, if you offer WORK and BUSINESS to people, they will choose to WORK because most people don't know that a BUSINESS can make more MONEY than a salary.

One of the reasons the poor are poor is because the poor are not trained to recognize the entrepreneurial opportunity.

They spend a lot of time in school and what they learn in school is to work for a salary instead of working for themselves.

Profit is better than wages because wages can support you, but profits can make you a fortune.

2. Real estate crowdfunding platforms
Platforms for real estate crowdfunding are a good option for investors who want to get more involved. Instead of investing in huge, generalized portfolios of properties, several of these online platforms allow you to do so in particular real estate development projects.

Platforms for real estate crowdfunding combine funds from numerous investors to finance construction projects. They typically demand that investors make real estate investments over longer periods of time, often five years or longer. Some of your funds might be accessible earlier, although that will depend on the platform, and there might be fees associated with early withdrawals.

3. Make a home purchase
The most popular real estate investment for most people is their primary residence. You obtain a mortgage, pay your regular installments, and steadily increase your home’s equity. You might be able to profit from the equity in your property when you sell it with some luck and a healthy local market.

Long-term wealth building can be achieved by investing in your own house, although average annual returns are lower than you might anticipate. Home values barely grew by 3.9% yearly on average from 1994 to 2019, according to a survey by market analyst Black Knight.

Many major and minor conferences occur worldwide for people to gather and discuss blockchain development and the crypto industry. Everyone can find a lot of helpful information and make the necessary acquaintances during such events. According to our research, the list of cities hosting the most events in 2022-2023 is topped off by:

• London - 26 events;
• New York - 25 events;
• Rome - 20 events;
• Dubai - 16 events;
• San Francisco - 13 events;
• Miami - 13 events;
• Singapore - 10 events.

Looking at the data, London emerges as the world's blockchain capital, with New York falling just a tiny bit short of taking the lead in this competition. However, it is not only the number of events that matters, but also the number of people they attract, and how many valuable decisions they inspire.

Hundreds if not thousands of blockchain events take place worldwide, promising visitors the opportunity to interact with leading experts in the field and familiarize with the latest innovations. Still, only a few of them are truly worth the visitors' time and money.

In 2018, before the pandemic, New York exploded with closed parties arranged by crypto investors and millionaires participating in one of the most famous blockchain conferences in the world — Consensus 2018. Aston Martin sport car raffles, whose cost starts at $150 000, rental Lamborghinis, long viewed as the necessary attribute of dolce vita, and nightclubs with extravagantly clothed waitresses—despite the fall of Bitcoin in the first half of 2018, the industry continued to live a life in which Bitcoin traded at $20,000.

Holding blockchain conferences at the time was almost more profitable than trading, especially given the significantly lower risks. CoinDesk, the organizing company, earned about $8 million on tickets to the Consensus 2018 blockchain conference alone.

We and They (Bangladesh and Pakistan)
By Zubeida Mustafa

I wouldn't like to burden readers with seemingly dull data. But it is too important to be shoved under the rug: the population growth rate for Pakistan is two percent, for Bangladesh it is 1pc; TFR (children per woman) is 3.5 in Pakistan and 2 in Bangladesh; the contraceptive prevalence rate (which includes unreliable conventional methods) is 34pc in Pakistan and 65pc in Bangladesh.
 In 1971, Bangladesh had a bigger population (65.5m) than the western wing, with a count of 59.7m. In 2020, the picture had reversed with Bangladesh standing at 164.6m and Pakistanis numbering 220.8m.
More data has a direct bearing on the economy: GDP for Pakistan in 2020 was $263.6 billion and $324.2bn for Bangladesh. Bangladesh has achieved this miracle by investing in its human resources, especially women, who are potential agents of change in family matters. The difference between Pakistan and Bangladesh in gender parity in the social sectors is staggering. Likewise, their female literacy rates are 46pc and 72pc respectively. The female labor participation rates are 20.1pc and 38.5pc respectively.

Research says until we haven't a plan to control our big matter of every problem is increasing population, if there is no reaction, the least chance for development of country.

Bitcoin is a currency that was originally designed to facilitate anonymous, instantaneous, and low-cost cross-border transactions. Its decentralized blockchain network allows users to transact anonymously, which protects them from fraud. Additionally, Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and encrypted on a shared digital ledger that ensures transparency in financial transactions.

While Bitcoin works to keep you safe and secure online, not everybody protects their cryptocurrency the same way. In fact, according to data from Chainalysis, about 20% of all Bitcoins that have disappeared have been lost permanently due to theft.

So, It is difficult to recover stolen Bitcoin. But as the blockchain is a public record of all Bitcoin transactions ever made. though it is possible to track the trail of the stolen cryptocurrency by monitoring the blockchain. However, even that is not an easy feat due to the anonymity of crypto. Besides, crypto scammers and hackers often use sophisticated tools to hide their spoils and identities and cash out the funds before victims can get to them.

وجدت دراسة أجرتها Nomics أن 12100 مشروع للعملات المشفرة قد توقفت عن العمل نتيجة للسوق السيئ الحالي. وبالمقارنة ، كان هناك 1500 في عام 2020 و 3700 في عام 2021.

وفقًا لمورد البيانات Nomics ، توقفت العديد من الرموز المشفرة تقريبًا عن التداول هذا العام. إنهم ليسوا ميتين تمامًا ، لكنهم مثل الزومبي ، ليسوا نشيطين أيضًا.
