Official Palestinian Authority news agency WAFA reported deadly airstrikes since Thursday in Gaza City (including near Al-Shifa Medical Complex and al-Nour mosque), Jabalia, Khan Younis (including in the area around Al-Amal Hospital), Bani Suheila, Deir al-Balah, Qizan al-Najjar, near Abu Yousef Al-Najjar Hospital east of Rafah, Abasan, Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Nuseirat, and al-Maghazi refugee camp. A compound that housed medical staff from the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) in Khan Younis was damaged by a missile strike on Thursday, IRC reported, displacing them and affecting their ability to work at Nasser Hospital. Among those recently killed are Wael Fanouna, the manager of the Al-Quds Today TV channel, and Ahmad al-Durrah, the brother of Mohammed al-Durrah, whose killing by Israeli forces in 2000 when he was 12 years old became one of the enduring images of the Second Intifada. The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Friday that Israel had killed 142 Palestinians and injured 278 more in the span of 24 hours, bringing the toll since October 7 to 24,762 killed and 62,108 wounded. Meanwhile, shocking footage has circulated this week of Israeli forces detonating al-Isra University on Wednesday, effectively destroying the last remaining university in the Gaza Strip. “The Israeli occupiers, through these actions, aim to propagate a culture of ignorance, keeping our people away from the march of knowledge and civilization, and forcibly displacing intellectuals outside of Palestine,” the university said in a statement. Meanwhile, even as the Israeli army claimed to have razed Hamas’s main weapons manufacturing location, Palestinian factions reported ongoing fighting with Israeli ground forces from northern to southern Gaza, including Jabalia, Gaza City, Bani Suheila, Abasan, and Khan Younis. Israeli forces reported the death of one soldier on Friday, raising the official Israeli toll to 194 soldiers since the beginning of its ground invasion in Gaza. The army meanwhile confirmed to NBC that its forces have indeed been digging up graves and seizing bodies in Gaza — claiming that it did so while looking for dead hostages. Meanwhile, mental health has been flagged by Israeli media as a growing concern among Israeli troops. “In some combat units, the number of soldiers who have pulled out due to mental issues is higher than or equal to the number of soldiers who were wounded in battle,” Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Thursday. At the humanitarian level, organizations continue to raise the alarm about the calamitous situation facing Palestinians in Gaza. “Since my last visit, the situation has gone from catastrophic to near collapse. UNICEF has described the Gaza Strip as the most dangerous place in the world to be a child. We have said this is a war on children. But these truths do not seem to be getting through,” UNICEF deputy executive director Ted Chaiban lamented Thursday. The agency estimates that some 20,000 babies have been born in Gaza since October 7 in dangerous conditions, where children under the age of two face “severe risk” of starvation and malnutrition. Meanwhile, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said some 8,000 cases of Hepatitis A had been recorded in Gaza amid overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in shelters — further confirming warnings by Palestinian rights organizations that internally displaced Palestinians faced serious threats of epidemic and disease. “The inhumane living conditions — barely any clean water, clean toilets and possibility to keep the surroundings clean — will enable Hepatitis A to spread further and highlight how explosively dangerous the environment is for the spread of disease,” World Health Organization head Tedros Ghebreyesus wrote on X. West Bank: Israeli army withdraws from Tulkarem after nearly two-day raid In the occupied West Bank, armed clashes were reported between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Tulkarem and Nour Shams refugee camps, as well as in the vicinity of the Jalameh checkpoint. Israeli forces reportedly retreated from Tulkarem refugee camp after 45 hours, one of the longest raids in the West Bank since October 7, leaving behind widespread destruction. WAFA reported that Israeli forces prevented ambulances from reaching wounded Palestinians during the raid, adding that Israeli forces tied the legs of one Palestinian man, identified as Abdulrahman Othman, with a rope and dragged him on the ground. In a sign of how undeniably the situation in the occupied West Bank has devolved, the BBC reported on the killing of seven Palestinians, including four brothers, earlier this month, compiling evidence from witnesses and paramedics corroborating that the men were neither armed nor constituting a threat when an Israeli airstrike killed them. While Israeli officials are reportedly discussing transferring the Palestinian Authority tax revenue it has been unlawfully withholding via a third party — seemingly in a bid not to lose face after some ministers’ repeated assertions that the money wouldn’t be sent to the PA — Israeli settlers have seized more lands and established an illegal outpost in the northern occupied West Bank, settlement watchdog Peace Now reported. Israel: Netanyahu doubles down as his own party plots his exit Despite growing international outrage and continued calls for a ceasefire within Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains steadfastly committed to opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state, implying that he was the only thing standing between Israelis and a two-state solution. “Whoever is talking about the ‘day after Netanyahu’ is essentially talking about the establishment of a Palestinian state with the Palestinian Authority,” he said during a press conference on Thursday, in which he accused Israeli media of undermining the war efforts, and opposed calls for elections from the Israeli opposition. The PA presidency responded to Netanyahu’s latest comments, saying it confirmed “that this [Israeli] government is determined to push the entire region into the abyss.” “The entire region is on the verge of a volcanic eruption due to the aggressive policies pursued by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights,” Nabil Abu Rdeineh, spokesman for the PA presidency, said on Thursday. Netanyahu’s comments, which fly in the face of the U.S.’s stated goals for the region, have also garnered criticism within Israel, where some news outlets have called him “delusional.” In an interview aired on Israel’s Channel 12 on Thursday night, war cabinet minister and former Israeli army chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot said he didn’t believe Israel’s leadership was telling the public the truth. “Whoever speaks of absolute defeat [of Hamas] is not speaking the truth,” Eisenkot said. “Today, the situation already in the Gaza Strip is such that the goals of the war have not yet been achieved.” Eisenkot added that he and fellow war cabinet member Benny Gantz thwarted government plans to strike the Lebanese Hezbollah movement in the early days of the war, likely averting an immediate regional escalation. Even within Netanyahu’s own Likud party, a growing number of members are allegedly planning for a future without the embattled premier, whose corruption trial has resumed since December, at its helm. Meanwhile, Israel remains committed to discriminating against Palestinians at every level. Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, extended a ban preventing Palestinian prisoners from Gaza from meeting with their lawyers by an additional four months. The country’s much-decried mass distribution of guns to civilians, meanwhile, has unsurprisingly been revealed not to extend to Palestinian citizens of Israel, even if their communities are closer to zones of conflict than other Jewish-majority municipalities. Biden admits strikes on Yemeni forces don’t work, vows to continue anyway Yemen’s Ansar Allah rebels continue to target vessels in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians, as the group — commonly known as “the Houthis ” — remains defiant in the face of American and British airstrikes. U.S. President Joe Biden admitted on Thursday that Washington’s strikes were unlikely to deter the Yemeni group, but showed no sign of reassessing this strategy. “Well, when you say working, are they [the strikes] stopping the Houthis? No,” Biden told reporters. “Are they gonna continue? Yes.” Egypt is reportedly holding talks with Ansar Allah and Iran in a bid to de-escalate tensions in the Red Sea, as the international community fears London and Washington are worsening an already volatile situation in the Middle East. After the umpteenth report that Biden is growing frustrated with Netanyahu, The Guardian revealed on Thursday that the U.S. has for years used “special mechanisms… to shield Israel from U.S. human rights laws, even as other allies’ military units who receive U.S. support — including, sources say, Ukraine — have privately been sanctioned and faced consequences for committing human rights violations.” Former U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy — after whom the Leahy law, aiming to prevent U.S. complicity in foreign military’s human rights violations, is named — told the British newspaper that he has seen his legacy repeatedly flouted by successive U.S. governments when it came to Israel. “The law has not been applied consistently,” Leahy said, “and what we have seen in the West Bank and Gaza is a stark example of that.” In the European Union, Parliament members adopted a resolution on Thursday calling for a permanent ceasefire and the resumption of diplomatic efforts to establish a Palestinian state. Mexico and Chile have meanwhile called for the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel over war crimes committed in Gaza. The Financial Times reported that unnamed Arab states were working on a ceasefire proposal that would guarantee the release of Israeli hostages and further normalization between Tel Aviv and Arab countries in exchange for “irreversible” steps toward the creation of a Palestinian state. Protests calling for a ceasefire in Gaza are scheduled to take place on Friday in Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Germany, Mauritania, the U.S., and Canada, Al Jazeera reported.

A computer is a complex system that performs various tasks by executing instructions stored in its memory. The basic components of a computer and how they work together can be explained in the following key concepts: Input Devices: Purpose: Input devices allow users to interact with the computer by providing data and commands. Examples: Keyboard, mouse, touchpad, microphone, etc. Central Processing Unit (CPU): Purpose: The CPU is the "brain" of the computer, responsible for executing instructions stored in the computer's memory. Function: It performs calculations, manages data, and controls other components of the computer. Architecture: Modern CPUs are typically microprocessors with multiple cores, allowing them to perform parallel processing. Memory (RAM - Random Access Memory): Purpose: RAM is used for temporary storage of data and program instructions that are actively being used or processed by the CPU. Volatility: RAM is volatile memory, meaning it loses its content when the power is turned off. Storage Devices: Purpose: Storage devices store data and program files persistently, even when the power is turned off. Examples: Hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), optical drives, etc. Motherboard: Purpose: The motherboard is the main circuit board that connects and allows communication between all the computer components. Components: It houses the CPU, memory modules, storage interfaces, expansion slots, and other essential components. Input/Output (I/O) Devices: Purpose: I/O devices facilitate communication between the computer and the external world. Examples: Monitors, printers, speakers, USB devices, networking devices, etc. Software: Purpose: Software includes the programs and operating system that instruct the computer on what tasks to perform. Types: System software (e.g., operating systems) and application software (e.g., word processors, web browsers). Operating System (OS): Purpose: The OS manages hardware resources, provides a user interface, and facilitates communication between software and hardware components. Functions: Memory management, process scheduling, file management, and device control. Binary System: Representation: Computers use a binary system, representing data and instructions using combinations of 0s and 1s. Bits and Bytes: The basic unit is a bit (binary digit), and groups of eight bits form a byte. Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle: Cycle: The CPU follows a cycle where it fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and then executes them. Repeat: This cycle repeats for each instruction, allowing the computer to perform a sequence of tasks.

Earning from Bitcoin can be approached in various ways, but it's important to note that Bitcoin investments and activities carry risks, and the market can be highly volatile. Here are several ways people typically try to earn from Bitcoin: Buy and Hold (HODL): This is a long-term investment strategy where you buy Bitcoin and hold onto it, anticipating that its value will increase over time. This method requires patience and the ability to withstand market fluctuations. Trading: Some people engage in active trading, buying and selling Bitcoin in an attempt to profit from short-term price fluctuations. This requires knowledge of market trends, technical analysis, and a good understanding of the cryptocurrency market. Mining: Bitcoin mining involves using specialized computer hardware to solve complex mathematical problems that validate transactions on the Bitcoin network. Miners are rewarded with newly created bitcoins for their efforts. However, mining has become more complex and resource-intensive over time, and it may not be as profitable for individual miners without substantial investment in hardware. Staking: Some cryptocurrencies, including certain Bitcoin derivatives, offer a process called staking. Staking involves holding a certain amount of cryptocurrency in a wallet to support the operations of a blockchain network and earn additional coins as a reward. Participating in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) or Token Sales: ICOs involve investing in new cryptocurrency projects by purchasing their tokens during the initial offering. This method can be risky as some projects may not succeed. Accepting Bitcoin as Payment: If you have a business, you can accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for goods or services. Many payment processors allow businesses to accept Bitcoin payments. Freelancing in Cryptocurrency: Some platforms pay freelancers in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for their services. If you have skills that are in demand, you may find opportunities to work and be compensated in Bitcoin. Interest-Bearing Accounts: Some platforms offer interest-bearing accounts where you can deposit your Bitcoin and earn interest over time. However, be cautious and do thorough research on the platform's credibility and security. Bitcoin Faucets and Airdrops: Bitcoin faucets are websites or apps that give away small amounts of Bitcoin for free. Airdrops are distributions of free tokens to holders of a particular cryptocurrency. Remember that the cryptocurrency market is highly speculative, and prices can be extremely volatile. It's crucial to do thorough research, stay informed about market trends, and only invest what you can afford to lose. Additionally, consider consulting with financial and investment professionals for personalized advice based on your individual circumstances.

How do I know the price of a cryptocurrency? To find the current price of a cryptocurrency, you can follow these steps: Cryptocurrency Exchanges: The most common way to check cryptocurrency prices is through cryptocurrency exchanges. Popular exchanges include Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and others. Visit the exchange's website and look for the "Markets" or "Trading" section, where you can find a list of cryptocurrencies and their current prices. Cryptocurrency Price Websites: There are several dedicated websites that provide real-time cryptocurrency prices, historical data, and other related information. Examples include CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, and CoinCap. Simply visit one of these websites, enter the name or symbol of the cryptocurrency you're interested in, and you'll find the current price. Mobile Apps: Many cryptocurrency price tracking apps are available for smartphones. Apps like CoinMarketCap, Blockfolio, and Delta allow you to track cryptocurrency prices, set up alerts, and manage your portfolio on the go. Cryptocurrency Price APIs: For developers or advanced users, cryptocurrency price APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) can be used to retrieve real-time price data programmatically. Many exchanges provide APIs that allow you to integrate price data into your own applications or scripts. Blockchain Explorers: Some cryptocurrencies have blockchain explorers that provide information about transactions, blocks, and current prices. While this method is less common, it can be useful for certain cryptocurrencies. For example, Etherscan for Ethereum provides price information along with other blockchain data. Remember that cryptocurrency prices can be highly volatile and can vary slightly between different exchanges due to factors such as liquidity and demand. Always double-check the source of the price information to ensure accuracy. Additionally, it's a good idea to use secure and reputable platforms when accessing cryptocurrency-related information.

Memory (RAM): Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that the CPU uses to store data that is actively being used or processed. It provides fast access to data, but it is temporary and gets wiped when the computer is powered off.

Everyday hair products could be damaging your health. These products, such as creams, sprays, and oils, often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including siloxanes. #health

Why are cryptocurrencies dropping? Cryptocurrencies have been making headlines for quite some time now, and it's no secret that they have experienced their fair share of ups and downs. Lately, many people have been wondering why cryptocurrencies are dropping in value. Well, let's dive into the topic and explore some of the key reasons behind this downward trend. First and foremost, it's important to note that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile. This means that prices can fluctuate dramatically over short periods of time. While this volatility can offer exciting opportunities for investors, it also brings with it a certain level of risk. The recent drop in cryptocurrency prices can be attributed, at least in part, to this inherent volatility. Another factor that has contributed to the drop in cryptocurrency prices is market sentiment. Market sentiment refers to the overall attitude and perception of investors towards a particular asset or market. When negative news or events surround cryptocurrencies, such as regulatory crackdowns or security breaches, it can create a sense of uncertainty and fear among investors. This can lead to a sell-off and a subsequent drop in prices. Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that cryptocurrencies are still relatively new and not yet widely adopted. This lack of widespread acceptance and understanding can make them susceptible to market manipulation. In some cases, large-scale investors or "whales" may intentionally manipulate the market to their advantage, causing prices to drop. Additionally, cryptocurrencies are heavily influenced by external factors such as government regulations and global economic conditions. If governments impose strict regulations or bans on cryptocurrencies, it can create a negative impact on their value. Similarly, economic recessions or financial crises can lead to a decrease in investor confidence and a subsequent drop in cryptocurrency prices. It's also worth noting that the overall sentiment towards cryptocurrencies has shifted over time. In the early days, there was a lot of hype and excitement surrounding these digital assets. However, as the market has matured, skepticism and caution have started to prevail. This change in sentiment can also contribute to the drop in cryptocurrency prices. In conclusion, the drop in cryptocurrency prices can be attributed to a combination of factors such as market volatility, negative sentiment, market manipulation, government regulations, and global economic conditions. It's important to remember that cryptocurrencies are still a relatively new and evolving market, and as such, they will continue to experience fluctuations. As with any investment, it's crucial to conduct thorough research and exercise caution when investing in cryptocurrencies.

Image Source: https://www.escapeartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/step0001.jpg Bitcoin, the pioneering cryptocurrency, has gained significant attention and popularity since its inception in 2009. However, its decentralized nature, volatility, and potential risks have led to debates about the possibility of governments considering the outlawing of Bitcoin. In this article, we will explore some potential reasons that could contribute to such a decision. Regulatory Challenges: One primary concern for governments is the lack of regulatory oversight in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin's decentralized nature allows for anonymous transactions and can potentially facilitate illicit activities such as money laundering, tax evasion, and illegal transactions. Despite efforts to establish regulations and anti-money laundering measures, the anonymity provided by Bitcoin still poses a challenge for authorities to monitor and control financial transactions effectively. Financial Stability and Consumer Protection: Bitcoin's extreme price volatility can disrupt financial stability and endanger consumer protection. The cryptocurrency's value has witnessed significant fluctuations, often driven by speculative trading, market manipulation, or unexpected events. Such volatility can negatively impact investors, businesses, and overall economic stability. Governments may see the need to protect their citizens from potential financial losses associated with participating in the volatile cryptocurrency market. Monetary Policy Control: Central banks maintain the responsibility of implementing monetary policy to manage national economies effectively. Bitcoin, being decentralized and beyond government control, poses a challenge to the central bank's ability to influence and regulate monetary systems. If Bitcoin gains widespread acceptance, it could potentially undermine a government's control over its own currency, leading to potential economic instability. Cybersecurity and Fraud: As with any digital platform, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are susceptible to hacking, fraud, and cyber attacks. Despite the implementation of robust security measures, cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets have experienced numerous high-profile breaches in recent years. These security vulnerabilities raise concerns regarding the protection of users' funds and the potential for criminal activities, which could further contribute to governments considering the outlawing of Bitcoin. Potential Loss of Tax Revenue: Governments rely on tax revenues to fund public services and infrastructure development. The anonymity associated with Bitcoin transactions presents challenges for tax authorities to identify and track taxable income. The potential widespread adoption of Bitcoin could lead to a substantial loss of tax revenue, making it difficult for governments to meet their financial obligations. Conclusion: While Bitcoin has attracted a vast user base and supporters who believe in its potential to revolutionize the financial system, several factors may lead governments to consider outlawing it. Regulatory challenges, concerns regarding financial stability and consumer protection, the potential loss of monetary policy control, cybersecurity risks, and the potential impact on tax revenues are some of the primary reasons that may drive governments towards such a decision. However, it's important to note that this article explores potential reasons and does not reflect the definitive outcome or consensus on the future of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency landscape remains complex and subject to ongoing discussions and developments. #bitcoin #btc #someeofficial #waivio #thgaming #nftm #archon #hivelist

The trustworthiness of Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, is a complex topic that warrants careful analysis. To evaluate whether one would still trust Bitcoin if it were to experience a drastic crash in value, such as plummeting to $300, it is essential to consider various factors, including the underlying technology, historical context, market dynamics, and individual perspectives. Fundamental Technology: Bitcoin is built on blockchain technology, which provides transparency, immutability, and security. The technology's integrity remains intact irrespective of short-term price fluctuations. Supporters of Bitcoin argue that its underlying technology remains robust even during price crashes, reinforcing their trust in the long-term viability of the cryptocurrency. Historical Perspective: Bitcoin has witnessed multiple price crashes throughout its existence. Notably, the cryptocurrency experienced a significant decline from its all-time high in late 2017 to a low point in early 2019. Despite this decline, Bitcoin has shown resilience and a propensity to recover and reach new heights. Past recoveries and subsequent price appreciation may influence individuals' trust in Bitcoin, as they perceive such crashes as temporary setbacks. Market Dynamics: Bitcoin's market dynamics are influenced by various factors, including supply and demand, investor sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic conditions. Sudden drops in price can be triggered by factors such as negative news, regulatory uncertainty, or market manipulation. Analyzing the specific reasons behind a crash to $300 is crucial for assessing the trustworthiness of Bitcoin. If the crash is driven by market manipulation or temporary external factors, individuals may maintain trust in Bitcoin's long-term potential. Risk Tolerance and Investment Strategy: An individual's trust in Bitcoin during a $300 crash will depend on their risk tolerance and investment strategy. Those with higher risk tolerance and a long-term investment horizon might see the crash as an opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin at a discounted price, believing in its eventual recovery. Conversely, individuals with lower risk tolerance or short-term investment goals might lose trust in Bitcoin and perceive it as a highly volatile and unreliable asset. Fundamental Value and Adoption: Bitcoin's trustworthiness is also influenced by its fundamental value and adoption. Supporters argue that Bitcoin's scarcity, decentralized nature, and potential for disruption in traditional finance provide a solid foundation for trust, irrespective of short-term price fluctuations. Additionally, the growing adoption of Bitcoin by individuals, institutions, and governments can reinforce trust in the cryptocurrency's long-term potential, even in the face of a price crash. Conclusion: Determining whether one would still trust Bitcoin if it crashed to $300 is a subjective decision influenced by various factors. While price crashes can test investor confidence, it is crucial to assess the underlying technology, historical patterns, market dynamics, risk tolerance, and individual investment strategies. Bitcoin's long-term potential, fundamental value, and adoption rates also play a significant role in shaping trust. Ultimately, each individual must carefully evaluate these factors to make an informed decision about their trust in Bitcoin during periods of extreme price volatility.

Image Source: https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/ Ethereum and Bitcoin are two different cryptocurrencies, and while they share some similarities, they also have some significant differences. Ethereum is often considered to be more flexible and versatile than Bitcoin, as it was designed to be a platform for decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. In recent years, Ethereum has gained popularity, and its market capitalization has grown significantly. As of May 12, 2023, Ethereum's market capitalization is around $1.2 trillion, while Bitcoin's market capitalization is around $1.0 trillion. However, market capitalization alone does not necessarily indicate which cryptocurrency is "better" or will overtake the other. Both Ethereum and Bitcoin have different use cases and target different audiences. Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, while Ethereum is more focused on powering decentralized applications and smart contracts. While Ethereum has been making strides in terms of adoption and development, Bitcoin has a much more established and recognized brand. It is possible that Ethereum may overtake Bitcoin in the future, but it is also possible that Bitcoin will remain the dominant cryptocurrency. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and unpredictable, and many factors could influence the future of these cryptocurrencies. Ultimately, it is up to individual investors to research and evaluate the potential of each cryptocurrency and make their own informed decisions. #bitcoin #ethereum #cent #someeofficial #archon #v #ecency

Image Source The world of cryptocurrency has seen its fair share of ups and downs since its inception. However, despite the volatility and unpredictability of the market, many investors remain optimistic about the future of crypto. One reason for this optimism is the increasing adoption of cryptocurrency by businesses and individuals alike. Major companies such as Tesla and Paypal have started accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, signaling a growing acceptance of crypto in the mainstream. Additionally, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency means that it is not subject to the same regulations and restrictions as traditional financial institutions, which could make it a more appealing option for those seeking greater financial autonomy. Another factor contributing to optimism in the crypto market is the potential for blockchain technology to revolutionize various industries. Blockchain has already been used to create decentralized platforms for everything from social media to healthcare, and its potential applications are nearly limitless. As more businesses and organizations recognize the benefits of blockchain, the demand for cryptocurrency is likely to increase as well. Finally, some investors see crypto as a hedge against traditional financial systems. In times of economic uncertainty or inflation, cryptocurrency may offer a more stable and secure investment option than traditional stocks or bonds. This is particularly appealing to those who are wary of the current global economic climate and are seeking alternative investment opportunities. Of course, there are still risks associated with investing in cryptocurrency. The market is notoriously volatile, and the lack of regulation means that investors must be particularly vigilant when it comes to security and fraud prevention. However, despite these challenges, many remain optimistic about the potential of cryptocurrency to change the financial landscape for the better. In conclusion, while the crypto market may be unpredictable, there are many reasons to be optimistic about its future. With increasing adoption by mainstream businesses, the potential for blockchain technology to revolutionize various industries, and its potential as a hedge against traditional financial systems, cryptocurrency has the potential to offer significant benefits to investors and the wider economy.

Greetings SoMee Family Today I will be teaching STABLECOINS. It's a topic you must be familiar with but there's always something to learn 1. WHAT ARE STABLECOINS? One thing that makes me like the Crypto world, is that most of its related terms are self-explained. Just like most crypto terms, stablecoins can be easily defined as stablecoins. In a more professional manner, I would define stable coins as a crypto asset that was created in a specific way that makes them far less volatile and unstable when compared to other cryptocurrencies. Using a commonly used term I would say stablecoins are usually pinned or pegged to an external asset, for example, the famous USDT is said to be pegged to an external currency the USD, This helps the Crypto market strive for a great height. Stablecoins are very important because it's used to perform a special skill in the crypto market. 2. Why were stablecoins created and how are they useful? The stablecoins give the market a structure and format in which transactions would occur on the market, this is what other coins can't assure you. Stablecoins also help reduce chances of losing your money accidentally, for example just imagine there were no stablecoins and someone wants to send money into his Crypto exchange. This user doesn't have a coin in mind to buy but she wants to credit her crypto wallet, if this user buys a volatile coin, in the next 1hour the worth of the user's money would definitely flutate and cause a big loss to this innocent user. 3. What are the most popular stablecoins? Which do you use more and why? 3a. HBD (Hive-Backed Dollars) 3b. USDT 3c. BUSD Thank you all I hope you enjoyed this lecture. See you tomorrow. #SME #SoMee #AweSME #someeofficial #crypto #stablecoin #learning #trading
