Brexit and other news part 3...
After a few days considering what to report on and what not as well as taking a brief break of a few days during this festive season of 2018, I hope that you guys and girls of this community and of other communities around the web have been having a merry time despite what this part of the year can bring and unfold although as always, embracing the ups and downs of life helps regardless of who you are and what you may do for a living or otherwise. Also, depending on one's perspective, there is as always much to report in the forms of posts here, instead of blogs etc but for those who would still like to read blogs such as these, your support is much appreciated in the form of upvoting, downvoting and comments as well as reminders. And the notion: "Sharing is Caring" helps too if you feel so led to do so.
Furthermore, as the new year approaches, I hope you guys have a great year ahead and for the many years to come as 2018 as a whole has been quite the year of signals particularly to do with cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology behind such digital assets,as the technology and digital currencies used and created in the process have led to more innovation and adoption than there was in 2017 or at least,that's just my perception of things despite the severe falls in price of the emerging markets for crypto and the blockchain.
Despite that, you could also say there has been "the sieving of good and bad wheat" moment this year, particularly to do with those who are strong and adaptive enough to survive and thrive in the bear markets and those who haven't been able to do so but unless I myself start a business of some kind, I'll sit back, relax and admire.
Back to the subject at hand, there are other assets and markets to take into account and some believe there are positive and negative correlations when it comes to comparing different assets such as commodities, stocks, indices and even forex with emerging assets like crypto etc that show when one or a few assets devalue/depreciate in value and price, the opposite is that of the other assets that would normally devalue actually appreciate in value and price. As always, don't take my word for it; I am no finance/economic pro and due diligence is appreciated even by the genuine non-hoodwinking pros out there.
However, where there is a fall, there is a rise in opportunity and long story short, institutional investors out there are using this opportune time to build up momentum to where market prices of such assets like crypto (major and minor ones of which the list is ever increasing day by day unless it can be proven otherwise) will simply skyrocket and I suspect there will be those who hesitated to get involved now in 2018, will be wishing they got involved earlier and during the end of 2018. Of course, prices for these kinds of investments can go down as well as up, but not to repeat the obvious here, if the big boys of the financial institutions and companies, big, medium and small around the world are getting involved behind the scenes and are keeping kind of quiet/ discreet now, no harm in getting involved with a small amount of money and seeing the profits come your way until you have to pay your bills and taxes etc.
Yes, that may sound lame, but whatever you can afford and not worry about, if I was allowed to give advice, or at least a human opinion, now has never been a better time, to invest in crypto as well as the applications using blockchain and the news about to be mentioned in this blog article should help with other articles referring to these subjects on Minds.com etc in reaffirming this point that though the days of retail only investing in cryptos etc are long gone (since late 2017 for cryptos etc),may riding out the wave of institutional investing in this time of life bless those who are able to put in as little as a $1 or depending on what you can afford to lose in worst case scenario but potentially gain in best case scenario help you make a life-impacting decision that would not typically and normally be available to ordinary retail investors but are now both available to those who wish to play the game of genuine speculation and investing and hopefully get wealthy in a diversified way that perhaps several jobs could never do.
As well as that, here is one way to get started for all types of people is Coinbase if you're interested in doing so.
Whatever you choose, make sure to diversify in case your life goes upside down as we all for pooer or for richer, for better or for worse, live in rapidly changing times and I don't want those who can do something about it, to miss out and not have something to help them in case things do get crazy as they tend to do even with financially/economically centralised powers in play and with the word on the streets of another worldwide recession coming to a time and place near you. Perhaps, I may be yet again incorrect but don't say there aren't people out there who didn't warn you and cared for your well being; if you're looking for a fortune teller who can predict precisely when such events will happen, I am afraid I am not the dude for you or know of anyone who actually can without being influenced by cheeky spirits but as always onto the news of the crypto and blockchain worlds as well as matters related to Brexit and EU/international affairs.
On to recent events in the crypto and blockchain worlds, other than recent articles on Cointlegraph showing what's happening in Britain with the tax side of things, Bitcoin wise and hopefully with other altcoins out there, it's been an interesting few days, particularly now that Samsung is getting into these spaces for their own trademarks in the EU and UK; undoubtedly even if this is just "rumours and speculation", I am sure most of us would agree that any company with sense would get involved in some shape or form now with the blockchain and crypto to stay relevant and competitive.
Other than what these emerging technologies can bring to the present and future, for now, centralised social platforms such as Patreon are doing more and more in their power to silence/suppress the conversations and content out there; that has not stopped intellectuals and crypto pros such as Jordan Peterson and Peter Saddington among several from making the point that Patreon at the rate it's taking matters into its own hands while not rewarding the content creators accordingly and fairly, that if they do what they do to put off people from using such media, then don't expect people not to find alternatives and create new alternatives that actually reward!
In other news, the legal case against the former CEO Mark Karpeles of Mt (Mount) Gox is ongoing till March 2019 in which the Japanese courts are making him potentially face and serve a 10-year prison sentence despite his pleas of "not guilty".Then again, the only reason I heard of this guy and this company is because of a documentary on the early days of Bitcoin before it skyrocketed from around $1,000 to almost $20,000 and the documentary, if I can find it, will be put in as a link later on hopefully.
Also, please feel free to let me know what the documentary is called if anyone does know what I am on about; no worries if not. Or, let us know what good quality documentaries are out there and we'll be able to upvote them and maybe even boost them. I wish I could guarantee that, but life is not guaranteed as we all ought to know.
Otherwise, Blockchain Island has come up again in a youtube video by Cointelegraph and how interesting and wonderful it was to see Malta being one of the few places in the world to embrace Blockchain and crypto companies from around the world and give real incentives to them.
Though it's a shame they are still part of the EU, as they could be doing even better without the likes of bureaucratic elitist out of touch twats ruling their nation on what and what not to do etc. Though as always, it's up to the people to decide whether the Government in power likes it or not.
I appreciate getting hardcore facts can be a burden of a chore for some but at least present it and have financial and media backups with decentralised systems in case the centralised systems at play decide to suddenly deprive without a reasonable reason, the resources needed to run the entities involved.
With anything in life, diversification, not just in investments but also in all that we do in our conduct during life is key as worst and best case scenarios and of course, the in between the two points of worst and best case scenarios are possible.
Anyway, another few videos from the youtube channel Cointelegraph such as Bitcoin is Dead, Long Live Bitcoin! and the recent interview with John McAfee illustrate some intriguing points about the possibilities of the future depending on the path mankind decides to take with crypto and the technology behind it as well as what will happen with FIAT currencies.
Then again, those being interviewed and being asked questions are only human and we do have to appreciate that they might not be right on what they've stated but until events unfold as they tend to do, we will only know at best with high probability.
In other news regarding Brexit, the New Year in London with its, unfortunately, selected mayor, Sadiq Khan; decided to defy and insult Brexit with EU coloured fireworks which of course would infuriate more than a few on both sides but particularly the Brexiteers despite recent events of Jeremy Corbyn calling the Treacherous Theresa allegedly a stupid woman.
Yes, he may be a socialist for now but good for him for finally calling her something actually well true if not at the very least of possible words rather than other "politically correct" comments if he did. I am sure some of us suspect so but even so, may Treacherous Theresa and her posse of corrupt hypocrite politicians get more and more exposed and may we bring on the Real Deal of No Deal to the UK and set an example for others to do the same across Europe and the world.
It's a shame that New Year publicly was celebrated like that on the London eye but may we as a nation take action and pressure the spineless political elite to get fired potentially and regain some proper order to the UK. Otherwise, if anyone has some cracking ideas, let us know and let's see what can be done.
I appreciate at this time of writing this, that there are countries not just in Europe suffering but around the world. However, my humble suggestion if I may be allowed to at least say it is: fight for your right to be in the country you live in or else I fear like many others that the globalists and socialists may very well get their way. Sure, empires and kingdoms will rise and fall but the principles and laws of God ultimately need to be upheld and honoured in order for society to function for the better, whether you know it or not or even care to accept or reject that.
Ultimately, it is up to each and every one of you as individuals to come to the conclusion I have come to and if not so, fair enough but having learnt what really matters,for it to come free to future generations,we must do our duty in the present to pay and maintain the price of having freedom in the best and peaceful ways possible.
Nevertheless, the imploding end is near and inevitable for the EU project; evidence of this is clear in the following videos by Steve Turley and Peter Burke.
Otherwise, I hope the news was of interest to you guys and please comment below if interested to do so in the case of improvements and suggestions.
Many thanks and have a spectacular 2019 ahead, whatever you may be doing and wherever you may be...
Thanks and till next time :)
