Is Cryptocurrency Good for Global Economy?
This topic is intended for those beginner in crypto like me. What is a cryptocurrency and how does it work? Does it affect the global economy in any ways? How does cryptocurrency affecting you now? Your financial stability perhaps?
Cryptocurrency is a form of payment that can be exchange online for goods and services. Many companies have issued their own currencies, often called tokens and these can be traded specifically for the good or services that the company provides. Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called blockchain. Blockchain is a decentralized technology spreading across many computers that manages and records transactions. Part of the appeal of this technology is its security.
Cryptocurrencies have been the most valuable assets for those who are active in the crypto market from an early stage. More and more people are entering the crypto world after the pandemic (like me). They get to know about different applications of Cryptocurrencies and how useful it is for international payments and for the economy.
**IMPACT OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES ON GLOBAL ECONOMY**
****Investors Turning Towards Crypto****. Initially, traditional investors were skeptical about Cryptocurrencies. Later on, they build confidence as some popular virtual currencies have performed very well. Moreover, some investors are adding more than 3-4% of Cryptocurrencies tto their portfolio, specially Bitcoin.
****Eliminates the Middleman****. Cryptocurrencies work in peer-to-peer distributed network that eliminates the middleman which are those bank or central body. You can directly send or receive money from a user over the network. It gives you more control over your wealth.
****Low Cost and Fast Transaction****. Unlike traditional transactions, cryptocurrencies do not involve any bank or central body to verify the transactions. That is why the time and fees of crypto transactions are less as compared to traditional transactions. Crypto miners verify crypto transactions and they are not the central authority. Everyone can become crypto miners and become a part of the network.
****New Way of Crowdfunding****. Are you familiar in *Initial Coins Offering*? In financial markets, companies offer their stocks through initial public Offerings to collect funds. Similarly, a startup can offer their crypto coins for Crowdfunding. Since there are no intermediaries, *ICOs* are great for Crowdfunding. However, you need to be careful hence money launderers use *ICO* as a way too steal money from people. You must first check the legitimacy of the team behind the *ICO*.
****Great for the Remittance Industry****. As the number of immigrant worker rises, cryptocurrencies are great for remittance industry. While the current financial system lacks transparency, cryptocurrencies provide a transparent and low-cost payment platform through which they can send money at a lower cost, fast transaction and less hassle. Many immigrant workers prefer crypto over foreign exchanges for sending money to their families.
Some people fear the changes, but changes are not always bad. Cryptocurrencies are modifying our lives and the way industries progress. It provides features and tools that simplyfies our lives. It is changing the way things work. There is no doubt that it's affecting the global economy in many ways.
The Best Way to Go
Did you know that as we die, we can still save our Planet? How could this happen? I know it's discomforting to talk about someone's death but, we must overcome the discomfort and think about a new way of responsible death.
**Here are Some Ways on How to Save the Planet after Death:**
**Turning the bodies into a tree**. In this procedure, instead of using coffins, the bodies are placed in a *Capsula Mundi*, an egg-shaped capsule that easily breaks down because it is biodegradable. It is buried on the ground then, a tree is attached on top of it so the remains become a fertilizer to the tree. The tree is named after the dead person. It is like giving life after death.
**Mushroom Burial**. An artist ***Jae Rhim Lee*** shared her experiment of the *Mushroom Death Suit*. Since mushrooms have the power to clean up the environment and decompose, it can decompose our bodies. In a *Mushroom Death Suit*, there's a white net wrap around dead bodies which is embedded with mushrooms so that it can grow in the bodies at the same time decompose it. That way, we are helping to clean the environment instead of polluting it.
**Aquanation**. This process is like cremation but in the water. It is a gentle way of dissolving the body until what only remains are the bones. It doesn't includes water nor smoke. The mineral remains are dried and processed into a powder and return it to the family. It then becomes *calcium phosphate* that can be turn into ***phosphoric acid*** which is then used in everything from food, cosmetics and to electronics. You still become useful even after you die.
A study shows that 100,000 Tons of steel, 1.5 Million tons of concrete and 77,000 tons of trees where used in burial. Just in USA 4M Square Acres of forests used for caskets. Also, cremation uses too much gas and electricity in equivalent to as a 500 mile road trip. A statistic study shows that there are about 150,00 people die every single day, considering all of them are in cremation, that would be 75,000 Million mile road trip to more air pollution and major damage on our planet.
Now that we have learned our negative impact on planet even after we die, we must think a better way now on how to help our environment even after our last breath. In this way, we could give back to Mother Earth for letting us live on this beautiful planet.

Does Humanity Still Exist
In today's world of innovation, we have witnessed the development of our world from plain and simple to well - developed and improvised things that made our work easier from our daily house chores to our livelihood works. Along with this, our behaviour also changes, we can read news and watch videos on YouTube and other social medias that new generation kids became meaner. Mean pranks, bullying & racism arises in much more serious cases, rapes, kidnappings, killings,terrorism and war. This makes me wonder does humanity still exist in this cruel world?
It is difficult question to answer since people could be kind to you because of their ulterior motives. We can never read someone's mind and when we read about crimes, killings, etc. on news and on social media, we'll get negative feelings but that's not the whole story. As a coin has two sides or all the fingers of our hands can't be of the same length, we can't expect every person to be equally good. Some show kindness because they are expecting a gift in return and some because of pure intentions and they pity others.
**Here are some Incidents Proving Humanity Still Exist:**
Some stranger returned a wallet found on the road. The wallet was filled with cash and the stranger travelled 15 Km to return it.
An elderly person didn't have money to buy lunch and the fellow stranger in the line paid for his food and gifted it to him.
A lady along with her kids entered a jewellery shop. She wanted to sell a ring gifted by her mother because she was broke. The man at the jewellery shop gave her the required money and also the ring mentioned it as a gift.
A dog was sobbing when the rescue team come and saved her from the well.
There's a tiny bit of humanity still prevailing on this planet, otherwise the human race wouldn't have survived. The fair line differentiates human and other living organisms are the sound sense of humanity.
**Reflections**
Does Humanity Exist Within You?
Ask yourself,
Will you help others, despite of having your own problem?
Will you forgive the person who hurts you the most?
Can you forget the lie your love one told you?
Can you remain happy even after losing everything?
If yes, then humanity does exist within you.
If no, then just believe humanity exists and move on or try to change your mentally and be kind!

Will you help others, despite of having your own problem?
Sure.
Will you forgive the person who hurts you the most?
Why should I.
Can you forget the lie your love one told you?
Depends on the lie.
Can you remain happy even after losing everything?
Being happy is an option. No normal person is happy 100% of the time.
Frankly, I do not care about humanity. It is just a concept. And perhaps you have a different definition of it from the one I have. You know many concepts have many, and at times, contradicting, definition. This is why we get wars. Over concepts. Countries, religions, riches - all are concepts.
I do not care for humanity. But I care for you and for me, and for the animals that humanity consumes, and for the plants that humanity destroys. Also for the air and the water, because no human can live without air and water, no animal and no plant can live without them either.
Tipped+liked. Wishing you a good day. You are a good kid. Do not change.

Cryptocurrency World
Over a year ago, I've been hearing & seeing some advertisements online about this cryptocurrencies, but honestly I didn't bother to keep an eye on it for I thought it's just a pyramiding scheme or a sam. I've been also receiving invites to invest in their stocks or trade it from few people I've meet on social media specially, facebook. I really didn't entertain them because I assumed they're just scammers(no offense, that's what honesty in my mind since I don't know them personally)and also I don't have any penny to invest too. Then, almost 2 weeks ago, one of my friend neighbour introduced this noise. Cash site to me & she claims that she earned cents in every post that she makes without paying anything for registration or signing up, that got my attention (money). That's the time when I started to get curious, what is really cryptocurrencies?
***Cryptocurrency*** is digital money. That means there’s no physical coin or bill — it’s all online. You can transfer cryptocurrency to someone online without a go-between, like a bank. Bitcoin and Ether are well-known cryptocurrencies, but new cryptocurrencies continue to be created.
It use 'decentralized control',[4] which means that they aren't controlled by one person or government. This is different to 'centralized' electronic money and central banks.[5] The control of each cryptocurrency works through a distributed ledger (a list of transactions shared by everyone), usually a blockchain,[6] that serves as a public financial transaction database.[7]Bitcoin, first released as open-source software in 2009, is often called the first decentralized cryptocurrency.[8] Since then, over 4,000 cryptocurrencies (sometimes called 'altcoins', which is short for alternative coins) have been created.
People might use cryptocurrencies for quick payments and to avoid transaction fees. Some might get cryptocurrencies as an investment, hoping the value goes up. You can buy cryptocurrency with a credit card or, in some cases, get it through a process called “mining.” Cryptocurrency is stored in a digital wallet, either online, on your computer, or on other hardware.
***A cryptocurrency’s value changes constantly***.
A cryptocurrency’s value can change by the hour. An investment that may be worth thousands of U.S. dollars today might be worth only hundreds tomorrow. If the value goes down , there’s no guarantee that it will go up again.
***Investing in Cryptocurrency***
As with any investment, before you invest in cryptocurrency, know the risks and how to spot a scam. Here are some things to watch out for as you consider your option.
***Cryptocurrency Scams***
As more people get interested in cryptocurrency, scammers are finding more ways to use it. For example, scammers might offer investment and business “opportunities,” promising to double your investment or give you financial freedom.Before you buy something with cryptocurrency, know a seller’s reputation, where the seller is located, and how to contact someone if there is a problem.Not all cryptocurrencies — or companies promoting cryptocurrency — are the same.
Look into the claims that companies promoting cryptocurrency are making. Search online for the name of the company, the cryptocurrency name, plus words like “review,” “scam,” or “complaint.”
***Watch out for anyone who:***
guarantees that you’ll make money
promises big payouts that will double your money in a short time
promises free money in dollars or cryptocurrency
makes claims about their company that are not clear
***Cryptojacking***
Cryptojacking is when scammers use your computer or smartphone’s processing power to “mine” cryptocurrency for their own benefit, and without your permission. Scammers can put malicious code onto your device simply by your visiting a website. Then they can help themselves to your device’s processor without you knowing.
If you notice that your device is slower than usual, burns through battery power quickly, or crashes, your device might have been cryptojacked. Here is what to do about it:
Close sites or apps that slow your device or drain your battery.
Use antivirus software, set software and apps to update automatically, and never install software or apps you do not trust.
Do not click links without knowing where they lead, and be careful about visiting unfamiliar websites.
Consider a browser extension or ad blockers that can help defend against cryptojacking. But do your research first. Read reviews and check trusted sources before installing any online tools. Some websites may keep you from using their site if you have blocking software installed.
I've never imagined there will be a time that everything would work through online even making money. I have never thought that these cryptocurrencies world does exist. And right now, yes I'm into this world, I have https://noise.cash/u/Fritzie2894

Accounts already that gives me the privilege to earn small amount of money by posting & making articles without any money invested, just your time & attention. It does not also involves physical money & I can do it at home at the same time taking care of my family. I'm looking for more earnings in the next few months. Thank you cryptocurrency!

Why it is Expensive to be Poor
It is not easy being poor. "Anyone who has struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor". - James Baldwin. But why is it expensive to be poor? Here's some frustrating truth of why :
Let's start with our everyday needs. If we go to a supermarket now, it says that buying large amount of goods will save you more money, but because we live from paycheck to paycheck we can only afford to buy that will only last until we are compensated again. Since we are forced to buy small items, we end up paying more. What else? A study shows that in the past 2 decades, luxury items such as smartphones & other gadgets got cheaper & cheaper. Meanwhile, prices of everyday needs like foods, housing & education have only been going up, up & up. In short, rich people can afford more of what they don't really need while, poor people can no longer afford what they really need. Since we can't afford those things, we engage ourselves & suffer from higher interest loans which we have no choice but to get, we are also getting fined by banks just for storing money below the minimum balance. We are being drowned in huge debts for hospital bills and other big emergencies. The late payments, disconnections & other bills also bring more fines. The painful truth is that when we're poor, we look for a certain way so we're getting judged & isolated from life changing chances.
Truth be told, our chance of a good life starts going down even before we get to make our own decision. If you're born with a darker skin color, if you happen to have a poor parents, if your parents live in a poor country, if your poor country is led by corrupt leaders & if your corrupt leaders failed to enact laws for good health care, education & job then you have no privilege in having a good life.
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard
Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let rhe bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride in the fact that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Good morning, i hope everyone is doing fine.
Good morning, i hope everyone is doing fine.
Our Environment Today
Everybody is talking about how to earn money in an easy way or how much they have earned today. But does anyone know the status of our environment today? Does anyone even care or interested in knowing it? When will you start to take action? When everything else is too late?
Our Mother Earth is currently facing a lot of environmental concerns such as global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution , climate change & many more that can harm every humans, animals and other living things in this planet.
**Top 25 Brutal Environmental Concerns That You Should Definitely Know**
**1. Air Pollution**
Pollution of air, water, and soil takes a huge number of years to recover. Industry and engine vehicle fumes are the most obvious toxins. Substantial metals, nitrates, and plastic are poisons in charge of pollution.While water contamination is brought about by oil slicks, acid rain, and urban sprawl; air contamination is created by different gasses and poisons discharged by businesses and manufacturing plants and burning of fossil fills; soil contamination is majorly created by mechanical waste that takes supplements out of the soil.
**2.Water Pollution**
Clean drinking water is turning into an uncommon thing. Water is turning into a monetary and political concern as the human populace battles for this need. Waste from industrial and agricultural activities pollute the water that is used by humans, animals, and plants.
3: Soil and Land Pollution
Land pollution simply means degradation of the earth’s surface as a result of human activities like mining, littering, deforestation, industrial, construction, and agricultural activities. Land pollution can have a huge environmental impact in the form of air pollution and soil pollution which in turn can have an adverse effect on human health. https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/causes-effects-solutions-of-land-pollution.php
**4. Climate Change**
Climate change is yet another environmental concern that has surfaced in the last couple of decades. Environmental change has different destructive impacts that include, but are not limited to, the melting of polar ice, change in seasons, new sicknesses, and change in the general climate situation.
**5. Global Warming**
Environmental asset abuse is also an important environmental concern. Fossil fuel utilization brings about the discharge of greenhouse gasses, which causes environmental change. However, individuals are taking endeavors to move to renewable energy sources.
**6. Deforestation & Logging**
Our woodlands create new oxygen and additionally help in managing temperature and precipitation. At present, timberlands cover 30% of the area, but wooded areas are being lost on a regular basis because people are looking for homes, food, and materials. Deforestation is a huge problem and will just continue to get worse.
7. Increased Carbon Footprint
Temperature increases, like climate change, are the consequence of human practices, including the use of greenhouse gasses. When the atmosphere changes and the heat increases, it can cause a number of problems and start to destroy the world we live in. https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/greenhouse-gases.php
**8. Genetic Modification**
Genetic modification utilizing biotechnology is called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering of food brings about expanded poisons and sicknesses as qualities from a hypersensitive plant can exchange to the target plant. Some of these crops can even be a threat to the world around us, as animals start to ingest the unnatural chemicals and such.
**9. Effect on Marine Life**
The amount of carbon in the water and the atmosphere is continuing to be a problem in the world around us. The primary effect is on shellfish and microscopic fish, and it has similar effects on osteoporosis in humans.
**10. Public Health Issues**
The current environmental concerns represent a considerable measure of danger to the well-being of people and creatures. Dirty water is the greatest well-being danger of the world and poses a risk to the health and lifespan of people and animals.
**11. Overpopulation**
The number of inhabitants on the planet is arriving at unsustainable levels as it confronts a deficiency of assets like water, fuel, and food. Overpopulation is one of the most important environmental concerns.
**12: Loss of Biodiversity**
Biodiversity is yet another casualty due to the impact of human beings on the environment. It is the result of 3.5 billion years of evolution. Habitat destruction is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Habitat loss is caused by deforestation, overpopulation, pollution, and global warming.
**13. Household and Industrial Waste**
The overutilization of assets and the formation of plastics are making a worldwide emergency of waste transfer. Developed nations are infamous for creating an unreasonable measure of waste or junk and dumping their waste in the seas and, less created nations.
**14. Ozone Layer Depletion**
The ozone layer is an undetectable layer of protection around the planet that secures us from the sun’s unsafe beams. The depletion of the critical Ozone layer of the air is credited to contamination brought about by Bromide and Chlorine found in Chlorofloro carbons (CFCs). When these poisonous gasses reach the upper parts of the atmosphere, they cause a gap in the ozone layer, the greatest of which is over the Antarctic.
**15. Mining**
Mining results in the extraction of minerals from the earth’s core. These minerals also bring out harmful chemicals from deep inside the earth to the earth’s surface. The toxic emissions from mining can cause air pollution.
**16: Natural Resource Depletion**
Non-renewable resources are limited and will get expired one day. Consumption of fossil fuels at an alarming rate can lead to global warming which can further result in the melting of polar ice caps and an increase in sea levels.
**17: Natural Disasters**
Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, cyclones, volcanic eruptions can be unpredictable, devastating, and can cause irreparable damage. They can cause a huge loss of life and property.
**18: Nuclear Issues**
Radioactive waste is a nuclear fuel that contains radioactive substances and is a by-product of nuclear power generation. The radioactive waste is an environmental concern that is extremely toxic and can have a devastating effect on the lives of the people living nearby, if not disposed of properly. Radioactive waste is considered to be harmful to humans, plants, animals, and the surrounding environment.
**19. Loss of Endangered Species**
Human overpopulation is prompting the elimination of species and environmental surroundings and the loss of various biomes. Environmental frameworks, which took a huge number of years to come into being, are at risk when any species populace is huge.
**20. Acid Rain**
Acid rain happens because of the vicinity of specific poisons in the climate. Corrosive downpour might be brought about because of the use of fossil fuels or volcanoes or spoiling vegetation which discharges sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the air.
**21: Agricultural Pollution**
Modern-day agriculture practices make use of chemical products like pesticides and fertilizers to deal with local pests. Some of the chemicals when sprayed do not disappear and in fact, seeps into the ground and thereby harms plants and crops. Also, contaminated water is used for irrigation by farmers due to the disposal of industrial and agricultural waste in local water bodies.
**22: Light and Noise Pollution**
Noise pollution is another common form of pollution that causes temporary disruption when there is an excessive amount of unpleasant noise. Construction activities, industrialization, an increase in vehicular traffic, lack of urban planning are a few of the causes of noise pollution.
**23. Urban Sprawl**
Urban sprawl alludes to the relocation of the populace from high thickness urban ranges to low-density provincial zones which bring about the spreading of the city over the more rustic area. Urban sprawl brings about expanded movement, environmental concerns, and well-being concerns.
**24: Disposal of Medical Waste**
Medical waste is any kind of waste that is produced in large quantities by healthcare centers like hospitals, nursing homes, dental clinics, and is considered to be of a bio-hazardous nature. The waste can include needles, syringes, gloves, tubes, blades, blood, body parts, and many more.
There are a lot of medical waste companies that deal with medical waste disposal and are unique in the waste management industry. They must maintain a fleet of removal vehicles that use especially containment receptacles so that the medical waste is not exposed to the air, or at risk for spilling should there be an accident.
**25: Littering and Landfills**
Littering simply means disposal of a piece of garbage or debris improperly or at a wrong location usually on the ground instead of disposing them at a trash container or recycling bin. Littering can cause a huge environmental and economic impact in the form of spending millions of dollars to clean the garbage of roads that pollute the clean air.
Landfills, on the other hand, are nothing but huge garbage dumps that make the city look ugly and produce toxic gases that could prove fatal for humans and animals. Landfills are generated due to the large amount of waste that is generated by households, industries, and healthcare centers every day.
We should act now,so that our younger generations, still have a beautiful planet to live on. The world cannot be conquered alone. But if we will work together as one maybe, little by little our planet would recover from such horrible environmental issues.
