Guess the Oldest Fiat Currency

-

The longest fiat currency in the world is the British pound. It has been in existence for more than 300 YEARS . I saw an article online talking about it. Not well articulated but draws out the fact that "the pounds sterling has lost 99.5% of its value". This goes to show that for someone who has decided to use the fiat currency as it store of value, it is in for the losing game. The constant devaluation of our currency make it the worst form of store of value. In this generation, savers are losers. You can not save your way to be a millionaire. You have to invest. This is not a Financial Advice!  Do your own research. One of the most liquid investment around is cryptocurrency. Bitcoin which is the oldest and most important of it all is working like Gold. Since inception, bitcoin has performed incredibly well against the US Dollar. As impressive as it sounds, it does not come without some demerits. It is highly volatile. The risk is solely yours i.e. you are resp...

Major cryptocurrency exchange Binance has revealed a “rough, pre-alpha” demo version of DEX, its own decentralized exchange which could ultimately take over from its current platform. ‘A BIG STEP’ Introducing a video walkthrough of the exchange, CEO Changpeng Zhao said developers were “very aggressively” on getting a usable product to market. The DEX demo is the first major event on the timeline of the Binance Chain project, the public Blockchain, which the exchange formally announced in May. “As a public blockchain, Binance Chain will mainly focus on the transfer and trading of blockchain assets, as well as provide new possibilities for the future flow of blockchain assets,” a blog post issued at the time reads.

Part 4. It's July 1998, and we have reached the business end of the World Cup in France. France square it against current defending champion Brazil. Everyone knew what dangers posed by the Samba boys. It's not a fluke this nation has 4 winners medal to their name. And besides they had the deadliest attacker in the game, Ronaldo De Lima. In a charged arena, finally the whistle went for kick off. The French were on the attack from start to finish and they won their first trophy. Two goals from Zinedan Zidane and a third from Emmanuel Petit secured victory. Now why am I telling you this story? What's all this have to do with succeeding in business and life. Yes, hard working France won, big deal! They won their second trophy last year, what's the point? Yes, France won that trophy but its not that victory which is so important. It's the news that later emerged about how they won. In 2018 former UEFA president, Michel Platini, revealed how they ...

Part 3: Studies shows that it's neither the best products that sell the most nor the best boxer which wins every bout. Yes, hard work, persistence, perseverance, a fiery passion and an impeccable altitude are all factors of success but then there is something more. A secret formula which can turn everything, even a sows ear into a silk purse. Every champion knows that despite the fact that they got themselves to the edge of glory relying on being dogged and long suffering, real success wasn't achieved until they discovered the little piece of rare magic that transformed their efforts into victory. An African adage says...that thing which the Elder are using to eat their pudding is under the leaf wrappings... And they also say...If a child knows how to clean his hands, then he would eat with the Elders.... True victory can only come if you have discovered that the games of wealth are rigged and you would need an 'Elder' who deem you clean enough to '...

Bitcoin, Crypto and Banks: Economist Says It’s the End of Government Monopoly on Money

-

Jeffrey Tucker, economist and editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research, is calling out banking elites and governments for their long-standing monopoly on money, which has led to “world wars, depression and inflation, enormous government indebtedness, and the rise of leviathan states that learned to print their way to power and riches.” In a recent report, Tucker advises central banks and governments to stop meddling in the world of crypto — where they’re not wanted, not qualified and not going to succeed. But banks are hardly lying down and rolling over. They’re lining up solutions to kick Bitcoin and crypto to the curb, challenging the fintech startups that are vying to take away their monopoly and world dominance. Tucker addresses their central scheme to stop the competition: issue their own digital currencies. But a government-backed, central bank-branded coin would have nation-state borders and would live on a permissioned blockchain. It would ...
