Are You Tuned IN or OUT?


PART II


Healing With The Frequency Of Our Minds

Scientific exploration of our own internal resonance — the rhythm of electrical pulses that allow our internal circuits to communicate — places optimal brain function at around 40 hertz. Dr Lee Bartel, an influential advocate of the power of sound, tells us that this is important because when different areas of our brain fall out of rhythm, they cannot communicate effectively. This dents our capacity to form memories, control pain signalling, and perform basic motor functions.


Bartel’s work led him on an extraordinary journey, first inspired by noticing the way that chirping crickets synchronised with other sounds, to treating conditions such as chronic pain and Alzheimer’s with sound therapy sessions at that sacred 40 hertz. His scientific studies have uncovered the power of sound for reducing symptoms in those suffering from Fibromyalgia, an often disabling condition in which pain signaling within the body malfunctions, and astonishingly, the capacity to slow, stall, or even reverse the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. More and more, science begins to trace the physical functions of ancient therapeutic practices such as Buddhist chanting and singing bowls, bringing that which was deemed “alternative” forward into the light of social understanding!

Human Changes To The Soundscape

And so, as is our human predilection, sound is becoming a resource to be harnessed. Retailers are using sound to try to increase our “dwell time”, knowing that the longer we spend in a store, the more likely we are to buy something, while businesses are using sound to their advantage too.


Sound and communication expert, Julian Treasure advises businesses on how to use sound to their advantage. He advises that in order to be at our most efficient, our working environment should wrap us in an optimal resonance. This is a Goldilocks concept, as too little sound is not conducive to good work, with the turn of a page or the vibrate of a phone disturbing the stillness, while sound at more than 65 hertz can induce a stress response, and even trigger sickness over time. He promotes the use of stochastic sound — layered soundscapes such as rain falling or a bird chorus — for ideal working environments, and the creation of masked privacy in a busy office.

We can connect with the romantic element of the power of sound through this year’s film release: The Sound Of Silence, starring Peter Saarsgard. The story follows a “house tuner” who quests to treat patients negatively effected by the soundscape around them. The concept is charming, and heightens the viewer’s awareness and curiosity towards sound, but also raises an important question: as humanity has transformed this resonance chamber in which we all exist so dramatically, what potential long term consequences are unfolding? From the endless noise of urban hubs, to the electromagnetic frequencies that surround us in providing our phone signalling and WiFi, what molecular impacts are we subjecting ourselves to, and should we be working to counterbalance them?


Controlling The Sounds We Create

As creators of sound, as well as living receivers, we can be aware of both capacities as we consider the relevance of sound in our lives. The way we use our voices can be hugely powerful in our day to day lives. Indeed, studies suggest that we are more likely to vote for politicians with deeper voices! The earlier mentioned Julian Treasure highlights that human beings have four registers of speech. The first, the “whistle” register, is high enough to be the sole territory of singers with an impressive range. The second, “falsetto”, is where adults often seem to settle when talking to a small child or pet. The fourth — I’ve jumped ahead on purpose — is “vocal fry”; a low and unanimated range which can be immediately called to mind when we think of the more recent Hollywood portrayals of Batman. The third register of speech — the “modal” register — is where most of us settle, and where powerful speech is born. Treasure’s research tells us that a crowd listening to a speaker who speaks in the modal register, eloquently covering topics that are poignantly relevant, will begin to exhibit brain waves entrained with the brain waves of the speaker him or herself. In business terms, high quality to the resonance of delivery, alongside the strategy behind the words we choose is known as projecting an “executive voice”. So, as you set out to influence your own portion of the human soundscape, remember to consider the influence of your tone of voice, as well as the quality of what you say, over the world around you!

Can Money Really Buy Happiness?


PART I



Have you ever bought yourself something shiny and indulgent — in the absolutely certainty that it was going to be a transformative purchase — only to find that it lost it’s lustre surprisingly quickly? This moment is one that most of us are familiar with, thanks to a mischievous brain chemical called dopamine.

In terms of biological purpose, of course, dopamine was never geared towards filling your cupboard with things you don’t need, or landing you in debt, but rather rewarding exploration — a hugely valuable human behaviour. In today’s world, however, our internal reward system can inadvertently cause us complications. The phenomena of “shoppers high” kicks in when our dopamine levels spike, as we discover and rush off to buy something that we deem desirable. Dopamine is the very same chemical that drives alcohol cravings, gambling habits, and social media addiction, so it’s not hard to identify it’s role as a mischief maker!

All is not lost, however, for those of us wishing to increase our happiness levels via financial means. Michael Norton, professor at Harvard Business School, tells us that “If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right!” So, if we are to navigate potential dopamine traps, and come out on the other side unscathed, what kind of spending does indeed lead to true human prosperity?

Income And Happiness


It is easy to identify that achieving financial stability and relative security are drivers of happiness. In terms of specifics, a study led by Andrew T. Jebb of Purdue University revealed that there is in fact an ideal income level when it comes to our well-being. The magic number for day-to-day happiness averaged at around $70,000 globally, while the sum required to elicit self-perceived life satisfaction climbed a little higher to $95,000. Fascinatingly, above this range, the tangents of wealth and happiness seems to loose their correlation. The study uncovered that exceeding the income thresholds they identified actually seems to reduce overall happiness and satisfaction.

We don’t know all the ins and outs of why this is the case quite yet, but it seems plausible to imagine that increased stress associated with money management, social comparisons, and being more driven by material gains might have their part to play. Does this indicate that when it comes to money, once again — as Norton said — high earners have also “not been spending it right”? Perhaps with greater understanding of the impact of our buying habits, people of any earning capacity can unshackle themselves from the trends seen in the data!

The Value Of Experience


Thomas Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, identified over several studies that “when it comes to spending our disposable income, experiential purchases tend to make people happier than material purchases.” Indeed, this ties in neatly with evidence that — as we explored not long ago — 72% of millennials would rather spend money on an experience than new stuff. However, unpicking what this means in terms of how we use our purchasing power is a little more complicated than it might at first appear.

When we splash out on something material — and the initial buzz has subsided — we tend to get bogged down comparing what we bought with it’s alternatives, and what other people have by comparison. Experience, in contrast, is something that we enjoy anticipating, participating in, and holding memories of afterwards, which is much less inclined to trigger comparisons and regret.

The team behind GRAYLL are busy perfecting an App that will make digital investments accessible to anyone, in an era that sees traditional savings accounts offer interest that is little-better than inflation. AI driven algorithms will steer you through effortless capital growth, with astounding accuracy, unfettered by human biases. The mission behind GRAYLL is to make next-generation financial freedom accessible to everyone, liberating each and every user to focus on their prosperity and happiness.

Can Money Really Buy Happiness?


PART II


The Power Of Motivation


The line between the two is a fuzzy one, however, as depending on how closely aligned our purchases are with our true nature, they may or may not lead to meaningful experiences. Norton points out that, when it comes to purchases, “we make notoriously bad predictions about what will make us happy.” Digging into the grey area, we can imagine that an art lover who indulges in buying a new painting will gain the repeated experiences of enjoying that art each time they see it in their home, while someone who buys an extravagant car in order to reflect their social standing might not reap such a reward.

There is a fundamental clue to be identified here — investments need to reflect our deep desires and values in order to make us feel autonomous, competent and connected to others, while purchases that are motivated by social anxieties tend to have the opposite effect. Research from Ryan Howell, of San Francisco State University, concluded just that: “Motivation appears to amplify or eliminate the happiness effect of a purchase.”, he explained.

Making Pro-social Choices


Norton, alongside Elizabeth Dunn, with whom he co-authored Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending, brought us yet another step closer to understanding how to spend our money. They began approaching passersby on the street in Canada, and giving them an envelope of money which they had to either spend on themselves or on others, by the end of the day. Those who self indulged with the cash didn’t report any change of mood by the end of the day, but those who spent it on others — from loved ones, to strangers, to the homeless — experienced a dramatic boost in happiness. It would appear that, while spending money to impress others is counter productive, expressing generosity is hugely beneficial!

Norton and Dunn were still curious, so they conducted a similar experiment with some sales teams in Belgium. Here, they found that teams who spent money individually on themselves didn’t perform differently, while teams who spent money on each other displayed a huge up-kick in performance — generating a five-times-over ROI, which is something that businesses may want to sit up and pay attention to! The research duo continued to explore this theme, gathering and looking at data from all over the world, and concluded that the act of giving is a universal generator of happiness.

Pairing Money With Morals


Tapping into our genuine desires — and our moral beliefs — before cultivating a mindful habit of weighing tempting purchases against them, might just be where the sweet-spot lies for investing in happiness. G. Benjamin Bingham, author of Making Money Matter: Impact Investing to Change the World, explains that the way we spend our money should reflect our core values, and putting our money where our mouth is is key for achieving happiness. Giving to charity, going on an adventure with friends, buying fair-trade products, or investing in projects that align on a personal level are all potential builders of truly happy lives.

As we pay attention to keeping our dopamine triggers in check, it is important to also recognise that the quest to enjoy our expenditures can impede our ability to savour life’s happiest moments. In her ongoing studies, Dunn identified that affluent hikers who came across an unexpected waterfall on their route were less likely to stop for a swim, or simply to bask in the scene’s beauty, than hikers of lower means. “If you have a lot of money, you feel like you can get whatever you want, so you don’t need to savour every little morsel of pleasure that comes your way,” Dunn warned. Perhaps then, in taking all of this on board, proactively flexing our mindfulness muscle is all that happiness truly requires.

The Masterful Art of Self Discipline


PART I



As the New Year rolls towards us, making resolutions it at the front of many people’s minds. The symbolic transition of one year turning to the next presents a compelling moment in which to reflect on what has passed, and what is yet to come! Indeed, the month of January was named for the two faced Roman God, Janus — a deity with the power to simultaneously look back to the past, and forward, into the future.

For others among us, a lifetime of stumbles in terms of willpower has left us far too jaded to cook up New Year’s resolutions! For those with first hand experience of setting out on a self discipline quests that ultimately failed, exploring some of today’s science on the subject might be just the ticket to rekindle resolve. Whether it’s actually managing to use that gym membership we just signed up for, establishing a habit of putting money aside, or resisting the urge to burn the metaphorical candle at both ends, digging into the hows and whys of what makes self discipline achievable may hold transformative power!

An Angel On One Shoulder; A Demon On The Other


Tracking back to early Christian mythology, most of us are familiar with the concept of having an Angel perched on one shoulder, encouraging us towards moral and well intentioned action. All the while, a Demon sits on the other, luring us towards sinful temptation. Freud drew on this imagery, casting the Angel as the Super-ego: the part of us that self-censors, and the Demon as the Id: our primal and instinctive selves.

Research from the University of Rochester, conducted by neuroscientist Ben Hayden, reveals that this ancient metaphor is not far from reality. By recording human brain activity using electrodes placed on the scalp, his team were able to identify that subsets of neurons in different brain locations act as the source for our good and bad desires. As we grapple with a call for willpower, these areas of our brain enter into battle, actually trying to inhibit each other! Hayden’s fascination was driven by a desire to help those struggling with self discipline, and so he was excited to discover that willpower seems to be something we can strengthen. Later investigation revealed that subjects who were flexing their self-discipline muscle during the study experienced a knock on effect in their daily lives, making better life choices without really knowing why.

The Masterful Art of Self Discipline


PART II


Short Term Impulses Vs. Long Term Desires


Behavioural economist Dan Ariely has dedicated much of his life to understanding how and why we all make the decisions that we do. A portion of his work has focused on the human inclination to choose short term comfort over long term gain. What makes us decide to text while driving? Why do people skip taking their medication, hit the snooze button, or cut a second slice of cake? He argues that we, as human beings, are fundamentally wired to over-focus on the present moment, which is why issues such as Global Warming are so difficult to tackle — with no immediate threat, the instinctive response is to sit passively in our current relative comfort.

Framed by that thought, we can each view our would-be resolutions as our own Global Warming issue. Our intentions are strong, but when the moment arrives in which self discipline must be enacted, we are at our most vulnerable. Ariely shares that there are two tactics his research has found to be effective. The first is to implement a strategy called “Reward Substitution”. This means, in addition to the long term desire, and the short term impulse, we can choose to add a third element: an immediate reward that supports us reaching our long term goal. Self bribery, if you will! We must identify a positive action that we can gain enjoyment from now, that will satisfy our instinctive drive towards immediate reward. These actions could be taking a sauna each time we go to the gym, or setting aside time each month to visit a park that we love, after we put money aside to invest in our future!


The second tactic is called a “Self Control Contract”. Under this strategy, we anticipate conflicts of willpower before they arrive, and engineer a scenario that gives favour to the choice we want to make. Ariely highlights that in today’s world, we are five times more likely to shorten our lives through bad decision making than we were fifty years ago, simply because we are surrounded by vastly more appealing prospects for that Demon on our shoulder! We can, however, disable his (or her) effectiveness by bypassing or restructuring that vulnerable moment. A hilarious example of this is the SnūzNLūz alarm clock, which is connected to your bank account, and withdraws money to a charity that you hate each time you hit the snooze button! However, a self control contract strategy might be something as simple as not keeping sweets or alcohol in the house, or putting your phone on the back seat when you get in the car.

Expanding Your Self Discipline Capacity

Swathes of research tells us that in any given moment, willpower is a finite resource — but that we can maximise that resource, and increase it over time. Kelly McGonigal, PhD and author of The Willpower Instinct, shares that the prefrontal cortex — the part of our brain just behind our foreheads — is where decision-making and self regulation does it’s firing, and so looking after our brains is crucial. Nutrient dense foods, adequate sleep and stress management all have their part to play. In the meanwhile, Mark Muraven, PhD, of the University at Albany, and his colleagues, found that when we feel compelled to exert self-control — because of what others think of us, for example — willpower depletes much more rapidly. In contrast, when we are driven by a deep understanding of our own desires and goals, we have much greater willpower resilience. So, it would seem that connecting with ourselves and really asking why we want to achieve what we do, rather than simply identifying the want, can give us far greater momentum.


As an alternative to the Angel and Demon allegory, perhaps we should draw instead on the similar tropes of the Islamic Kiraman Katibin, named Raqib and Atid, or the Japanese Kushoujin, named Domyo and Dosho. In both of these examples, rather than the two opposing characters attempting to steer our actions, they are instead simply recording them — one the good, and one the bad. The threat of a lasting record of our missteps is far more in line with Ariely’s recommended self control contracts! What is certain is that human desire to be masters of our own will is as old as it is explored. Reaching back in time, ancient Babylonians made the first recorded New Year’s resolutions is the form of good-deeds promised to their gods! If humanity has been making such promises for almost four thousand years, surely there is value in the pursuit, and success to be claimed. With all this in mind, what transformations do you hope to make in the year 2020?

Let me tell you a secret: Grayll will be able to achieve profits in your behalf, doesn't matters if it is about a bullish, bearish or flat scenario

Throughout the Iran-U.S. conflict, Bitcoin’s price spiked upward by 21%, from just below $7,000 to nearly $8,500.
The foreshadowing of another global economic crisis and the threat of further international conflict has given rise to an important question: is Bitcoin a safe haven asset?

Hard Wired to Connect: The Evolution of Community


PART I



In today’s era of social media and smartphones, is the evolution of community on track? Aristotle famously asserted that: “Man is by nature a social animal… Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.” I know that for some, the weekend’s antics might make us feel like a beast or a god, but I’m pretty sure we all remain human when Monday rolls around! And, as such, the science tells us that we are not only innately social, but that our inclination to form communities played a crucial role in making us human. To peek at the origins of our community spirit, we’d have to hop into a time machine and go back some 52 million years. This is when — thanks to analysis lead by Susanne Shultz of the University of Oxford — we believe our primate ancestors first started to hang out in social groups.

It turns out, the intersection of community ties and human evolution has something to do with the content of our gigantic noggins. Indeed, of all the creatures on the planet, the human brain is off the scale in terms of size in proportion to the body. In all other species, brains tend to be fairly consistent in scale, with one minor deviation — species that live in communities tend to exhibit slightly larger brains than their less social counterparts. Fascinatingly, within human evolution, developing complex social structures and increases in brain size progressed, hand in hand, down a far more complex path. If we leap back into our time machine and zoom forwards to Africa, around 6–700,000 years ago, we’d be able to spy on Homo heidelbergensis — the first of our ancestors who reached the brain size that we enjoy today. They, as far as we understand it, were the first of our ancestors to work and hunt together in an organized fashion, and the first to gather around campfires.

The Campfire Connection


And what do we think of when we imagine sitting around a campfire? Story telling — the art of sharing information. Our capacity to impart knowledge — passed between generations, and between communities — was instrumental in our advancement, alongside a complex array of facial expressions, and body language. Our sensitivity to social cues is so central to our way of being, that neuroscience shows it to be our default state. When neuroscientists looked at the parts of our brains that activate when we pause from an activity, or are in relaxed repose, they discovered that parts of our brain that light up are exactly those that we use for social thinking — for reading and making sense of those around us, and ourselves. By default, we are primed to interact socially above all else.

Community Driving Technology

When considering all of our astonishing technological accomplishments, it isn’t hard to see the role that our communal nature has played in driving innovation. From Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone, to the pioneers who collectively brought the internet into being, and on to Mark Zuckerberg’s legacy, human connection is a highly motivating (and lucrative) desire. We text, email, share photos, and seek updates in a digitally enhanced version of our instinctive behaviour patterns. In parallel, one could argue that the evolution of radio, television, and the World Wide Web are in a sense evolved versions of our campfire stories. Instead of telling tales, we watch them in spectacular CG rendered, guns blazing, technicolour! Instead of passing on information from father to son, or from village to village, we can share it in an email, or find it on Wikipedia.

Hard Wired to Connect: The Evolution of Community


PART II


Community On A Global Scale


With technology, the concept of community has evolved dramatically, and astonishingly quickly. Rather than tight knit groups bound by geographical location, today’s communities can be spread across the globe. We can find romance, discover work opportunities, connect with mentors, and seek others with common interests or shared experiences, all from the comfort of our own homes. Our communities are not restricted by nation, continent, race or creed. Conversely, however, despite having the world at our fingertips — via our touch screens — we still seem to be grappling with loneliness. A study last year, from global health service company Cigna, found that almost half of Americans felt alone, left out, or that nobody knew them well. Could it be that in our quest to build global communities, we’ve neglected some of our most fundamental needs?

Are We Robbing Ourselves Of Something Vital?

We have long considered community to be vital for human well being. Psychologist Abraham Maslow defined love and belonging as fundamental human needs in his now infamous 1943 ‘hierarchy of needs’. Today, we understand that feeling connected has powerful impacts on our heart health, our cancer survival rates, our cognition in later life, our mental health, our body inflammation levels — our overall longevity. Some studies even indicate that being part of a close community holds as much power as quitting smoking! At this point, we have to ask the question — where is the gap between our virtual communities, and our real-world ones?


We can be certain that many of the social cues that we evolved to use and interpret are dropped from interaction in the online world. Despite all the emojis we employ, we are lacking the full lexicon of human communication. A bigger clue might be found when we see what happens within those great noggins of ours, whenever we interact. Embracing someone in distress actually causes our own pleasure centres to light up — we benefit from supporting those within our community — while experiencing rejection triggers the same areas of the brain as physical pain. The ultimate clue may be found when we explore what happens when we hug. Oxytocin — affectionately dubbed the “cuddle hormone” — is released when we embrace, touch, or sit close to someone. This feel good hormone plays a powerful role in positively impacting blood pressure, reducing stress hormone levels, countering anxiety, and even lessening our experience of physical discomfort.

Communities Of The Future

There is no doubt that the digital age has made our lives far richer, emotionally, spiritually, aesthetically and intellectually. We can stay connected to family and friends, no matter where we journey. We have the capacity to tap into the collective knowledge of our species whenever we want to, and to reach out to kindred spirits anywhere in the world — just so long as there’s Wi-Fi, of course! Just as cities historically marked great heights of civilisation, perhaps the rising internet communities of today serve as a new symbols of civilisation, as virtual cultural hubs, rather than physical ones.


What we cannot neglect, however, is that our unplugged human interaction is still vital to our long term prosperity. Technology can provide so much for us, but it doesn’t serve as a supplement for intimate interaction, and the full sensory spectrum of non-verbal communication. So, perhaps, next time you have a choice between emailing a colleague or getting up to go to their desk, or the next time you have to choose between messaging a friend, or going over to see them — go with the latter. We can make the most of every incredible thing that technology has to offer, but also see friends and go on adventures — without a screen acting as an intermediary. In today’s world, community needs to be a multi-faceted idea.

Dear user

First, 48 hours is unacceptable, so apologies for the delayed answer. Community is a key stone of every project and I assume the whole fault for this delay answering you.
Second, thanks for your interest.  Smiley As you know, we got already MVP phase 1 and phase 2 developed. The most important is this, our algorithm system works and keeps performing great. Profits without sudden peaks or drops, but just a smooth increase. However, puting all this ecosystem in the "perfect envelope" (the app) is something not easy at all. Our team is worldwide located and there is always people working 24/7 to make project move forward. About timeframe to have all ready we can't speculate with this, just leave it flow, we will get there  Wink
Luckily we have enough funds from private investors to develope our ecosystem and don't need to rely on IEO's to raise the required funding. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Market Update:

Last days were a disaster for many many many trading "companies". There are groups promoting their own trading bots which have been achieving profits for a long time. Seems that during last days the loss was an scandal. People losing up to 70% in a short period of time. The managers of the bots, claim that this is due to the coronavirus.. everything (banks, stocks...) plunged and floating was in high risk zone, so they closed at loss.

Meanwhile, look at the performance of our algorithms
.



Once again, no sudden spikes, but also no dips. A  sustainables mooth growth over time. You decide..
our tokens are available in Stellar's DEX

As Virus Spirals, Markets’ Bullish Bent Proves Tough to Dislodge

Anyone who used China’s health scare as an excuse to bail from stocks or redouble bets on bonds is learning again how hard it has become in American markets to shake investors of their optimism.

Even in a world ruled by fear over the scope of the coronavirus outbreak, risk assets are proving impossible to hold back whenever the pace of news flow levels off. Equities as measured in the S&P 500 are having the best two-day surge since October, while 10-year Treasury yields have now climbed the most in almost two months. The yen, a currency haven, is lower for the year again and credit spreads are contained.

How high do you think the US stock market will go? will there ever be a good point to start shorting? Did you know that we will be also able to apply Grayll's trading engine to any other market?  Wink
