If you're ruing the decision not to dip your toes into the cryptocurrency market, and feel like you are one of the few that missed out, don't worry, you're not. Even with the recent plunge in prices, bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices remain well above historical levels. Everyone is Getting Hilariously Rich And You're Not where a bunch of white dudes dressed like they pioneered the Williamsburg hipster movement told their stories of cryptocurrency success, leaving casual readers to wonder,

In this essay, Gregory Asmolov, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at King’s College London and a scholar noted for his work understanding the Russian Internet (Runet), examines a new set of propaganda strategies emerging on social networks in Ukraine and Russia. He takes us on a conceptual journey from understanding how traditional propaganda has been “rewired” for the digital age to examining its methodologies and impact today. This new phenomenon of "participatory propaganda" seeks not only to persuade users to interpret events through a particular lens, but also to manipulate relationships, dividing friends, breaking alliances and leaving individuals isolated and tractable, online and offline.

Propaganda is no longer just a tool for changing your opinion. Now, in our digitally mediated world, propaganda is a pathway to instantaneous participation in political conflicts from the safety and comfort of your living room chair. It is also, ironically, now a tool for instantaneously breaking connections between friends and relatives whose opinions differ.al age and how this new, “participatory propaganda” mediates conflict, manipulates relationships and creates isolation, both online and offline.

Participatory propaganda helps to socialize conflicts and make them part of everyday life.

"Altcoin" is a combination of the two words "alt" and "coin" and includes all alternatives to Bitcoin. The success of Bitcoin as the first peer-to-peer digital currency paved the way.

Now that Bitcoin proved to reach the psychological price of 60K,After the recent events, it became apparent that Bitcoin can indeed reach 100K. With its current prices surpassing 60K, prices need to increase by 66%. This price increase is very normal for Bitcoin.

Tesla has made roughly $1 billion in paper profits from its investment into bitcoin, according to Daniel Ives, analyst at Wedbush Securities estimated.This month, Tesla disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it had bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin.The purchase was made some time in January, the company said without disclosing when or at what price it bought bitcoin for.

The word shock can describe several different situations. Medical shock happens when the body’s cells do not get enough oxygen-rich blood. It is not a disease but a result of an illness or injury.A person may also feel shocked when they experience something unexpected. This shock is psychological and usually does not cause any medical problems.Causes of an electric shock include faulty electrical equipment, lightning strikes, and contact with electricity and water.

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency to successfully record transactions on a secure, decentralized blockchain-based network. Launched in early 2009 by its pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency measured by market capitalization and amount of data stored on its blockchain. The Bitcoin software is free and available online to anyone who wants to run a Bitcoin node and store their own copy of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Planning begins with goals. Goals are derived from the vision and mission statements, but these statements describe what the organization wants to achieve, not necessarily what it can achieve. These conditions are examined through a process called a SWOT analysis. Together, the vision and mission statements and the results of the situation analysis determine the goals of the organization.

Cryptocurrency trading is subject to high market risk. Please make your trades cautiously. Binance will make the best efforts to choose high-quality coins but will not be responsible for your trading losses.Binance will initiate the Bounce (BOT) to Auction (AUCTION) token migration & redenomination plan.we will halt trading for all BOT trading pairs, and the trading pairs will also subsequently be delisted from the exchange.

Trading is like a game. It’s a permanent betting system between bulls and bears – buyers and sellers.One group is betting that a price will increase while at the same time the other group is betting that this price will go down.This group is generally convinced that Bitcoin will increase in price in the long run, so they assume that having more of it will increase their future wealth.

As you probably know, Elliott wave patterns range from tiny ones that cover the span of just a few minutes all the up to patterns that span centuries.And the same Fibonacci proportions also begin to point to the year 2021 as a very important moment in financial history.That's what Elliott wave fans mean when they say that the financial market are fractal,A lot! For one, clear Fibonacci proportions begin to emerge between multi-decade historical periods.

We are living in the most surveilled era in human history. The amount of information which is captured, recorded and analysed about each of us on a daily basis surpasses even the wildest dreams of the Nazi Secret Police or the Soviet KGB.Instead, we are willing collaborators with a host of corporations and tech companies in constructing a society in which almost all of us are being watched, almost all of the time, not for political control but for private profit. We are voluntarily turning ourselves into objects of constant surveillance, and we are doing it all for the sake of a little extra convenience.

One of Warren Buffett’s most famous pieces of investing advice is devilishly simple. Before you put your money into that company you had your eye on, take out a note pad, preferably yellow, and write down the reasons for investing in it.When I bought Bitcoin in December 2017 it was priced at about $25,000 and climbing. But no sooner had I pressed “buy” on my crypto app than it crashed. People laughed; so did I. After all, I’d had a nagging feeling that all it would take to plummet was for another mug like me to buy in.

But the innovative digital asset, maintained by a decentralized swarm of so-called miners, has a long history of volatility. Most observers expect some retrenchment of that rally sooner or later.Supporters see Bitcoin’s history of volatility as just a matter of watching the world catch up, in fits and starts, with an inevitable future. Ten years of steady growth seems to have vindicated that view at least for now. But the growing pains can be truly savage.

I’ve been watching this bitcoin situation for a few years, assuming it would just blow over.The reason why is that it’s not an investment; just as gold, tulip bulbs, Beanie Babies, and rare baseball cards are also not investments.These are all things that people have bought in the past, driving them to absurd prices, not because they did anything useful or produced money or had social value, but solely because people thought they could sell them on to someone else for more money in the future.

As bitcoin continues its meteoric run, more investors are now reviewing the longstanding comparison between the famous cryptocurrency and gold.Insider surveyed 10 experts to see which asset they'd rather hold for the next ten years-and why.Both assets, experts say, are often seen as ways to diversify a portfolio or as a hedge against fiat currency inflation brought about by what some observers see as unsustainable fiscal and monetary policies.

Both can be used for payments and as a store of value,Both rely on widespread consumer trust in order to function as a means of exchange,Fiat money is issued and controlled by (central) banks and governments,Bitcoin is produced and distributed through a process called mining and is not controlled by a centralised authority,Bitcoin can be trusted because it is tamper-proof and cannot be spent twice.

Making mistakes is part of the learning process when it comes to trading or investing. Investors are typically involved in longer-term holdings and will trade in stocks, exchange-traded funds, and other securities. Traders generally buy and sell futures and options, hold those positions for shorter periods, and are involved in a greater number of transactions.While traders and investors use two different types of trading transactions, they often are guilty of making the same types of mistakes.

Many have operated under the false belief that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies offer some kind of safe haven from the law. Coin mixers and darknet markets are two products of this belief.But that has changed in the past few years, and cases like Harmons are evidence they are now taking a tougher approach. And Bitcoin, remember, has a permanent public ledger of all transactions.BTC uses Lightning Network to process smaller transactions due to its deliberately-limited on-chain transaction capacity.

The recent emergence of two bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) also provided a major boost to overall sentiment because more investors will be able to gain exposure to the leading crypto asset.While these fundamentals are incredibly promising for bitcoin’s long-term prospects, there are a number of indicators likely weighing on the current uptrend. This does not mean the price will necessarily fall, but they are signs that a cooling-off period is overdue.
