Travel the World Using Bitcoin Only?

Bitcoin seems uninterested in reaching new highs even after several days have passed of the halving event. The cryptocurrency remains right under $670, with its price constantly dropping around the $650 mark and then improving once again. The volume has declined once more, promising peaceful days ahead, despite the strong buy signal received by indicators and averages. However, what seems to be an utterly boring day in terms of price movement, it’s actually a very interesting day when it comes to Bitcoin-related events. Turns out that the Bitcoin wallet iPayYou has made possible Bitcoin Twitter payments, while investors are demanding solutions that would guarantee them that their money won’t be simply stolen by hackers in the future, reminding of the unpleasant event that took place in June when a thief scooped $60 million worth of the virtual currency Ether. Nonetheless, probably the most amusing and unbelievable story is about a man who managed to travel around the world using only Bitcoin.

Felix Weis Proves Bitcoin isn’t dead by Travelling the World and Paying in Bitcoin Only

The most mind-blowing piece of information this week and maybe even this year is the adventure of programmer Felix Weis, who decided to prove everyone that the Bitcoin isn’t dead by travelling the World and paying in Bitcoin only. Feeling irritated by people telling him that the cryptocurrency was over he packed his bags on 12th of January, 2015 and went on an 18-month journey all around the Globe spending only Bitcoin. So far, Weis has visited 27 countries and 50 cities. We’re quite sure that now he has a strong argument that the cryptocurrency is far from dead. During his journey his three stipulates were: no banks, Bitcoin first and cash only for Bitcoin. Therefore, when he needed local currency, he would get to it only by exchanging Bitcoin. The other important news is a more serious one and related to money. Namely, we all remember that in June a hacker stole $60 million worth of Ether after raiding the experimental online venture-capital fund DAO. This led investors to worry whether all their investments can be so easily spirited away, without the chance to get them back. Therefore, they prompted a debate on whether thieves should be allowed to keep the money they’ve stolen. If the debate inspires companies and experts to come up with a way to keep this from happening, then the reputation of the Bitcoin would certainly improve.

Bitcoin Trading for $664.46; Volume Down

We already mentioned that the Bitcoin didn’t seem affected by the halving. Therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising to see the price per coin at $664.46 days after the supply of the cryptocurrency has been halved. The highest price in the past 24 hours, aside from the current one, has been rather unimpressive $662.12, whereas the lowest point reached was $651.13. Nonetheless, the overall 24-hour price change is positive 1.41%. The market cap has dropped a bit and settled at $10.48 billion; similarly, the volume has declined as well and from over $130,000,000 two days ago we can see it at $73,390,500 today. Therefore, even though the majority of the technical indicators as well as all moving averages are sending a strong buy signal, it shouldn’t be expected to see the Bitcoin price considerably jump any time soon.

Newslink: Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead

Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead image credit Zimbabwe has begun printing bond notes, allegedly pegged to the US dollar, as a means to curb inflation, as other countries turn to Bitcoin. In a resurrection of the African country’s currency not seen in seven years, the central bank is attempting to restart a Zimbabwean national currency, while simultaneously preserving its value from inflation. The new bond notes are pegged to the U.S. dollar, allegedly backed by a $200 million bond facility with Afreximbank, as a safeguard against rapidly losing its value to hyperinflation, as was the case with the nation’s last currency.

Ancient alligators which had long legs and run faster than dinosaurs, also ate them

image credit Imagine an alligator with long four legs and runs faster than dogs. Am I crazy ? Probably not. But, this species is now extinct. They lived in the Jurassic Period. The name this amazing creature is Galloping crocodile. It existed 100 million years ago. And also they preyed on dinosaurs! The most attractive features of Galloping crocodiles are their bone structure. After made research on their bones structure scientists said that they were efficient swimmers but that when they clambered ashore they were also capable of galloping across the plains. But, modern crocodiles crawl on their bellies because their legs sprawl out to the side. The fossils of this primitive crocodiles are now discovered in North Africa by a group of fossil hunters. Most of the fossils was discovered in the year of 2001. Hans Larsson , a paleontologist at the University of Montreal, who took part in the expedition which was sponsored by National Geographic, wrote - ...

HOW GOOGLE'S NEW A.I. MICROCHIPS TAKE A PAGE FROM BITCOIN MINERS

Yesterday at Google’s I/O developers conference , CEO Sundar Pichai briefly spoke about a custom-built chip that helps give Google its edge in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The chip, dubbed a TPU or Tensor Processing Unit (in keeping with Google's A.I. platform TensorFlow ), is specifically wrought for running Google’s decision-making algorithms. Most companies like Facebook and Microsoft use GPUs for their machine learning and artificial intelligence.But Pichai’s speech and the accompanying blog post only reveal a few details about TPUs. About the only useful thing we know about the chip is that it’s an ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit. ASIC chips aren’t bought off the shelves, but designed specifically to do one task very well without using a lot of power. They’re used in applications that never change, like the controlling how a phone battery charges. .............................. [ read full story ] Ta...

One day at the Zoo -Episode #07

Two weeks ago I visited "Alipore Zoological Gardens" in Kolkata which is mostly known as "Alipore Zoo". It was founded in the year of 1875 in British India. And it was established by Edward VII, and then The prince of wales. This zoo is the biggest attraction of the tourists in the "City of Joy". However, the Alipore Zoo has some notable historical value as it's the most old zoological garden in India. The zoo was also famous for the home of "Aldabra giant tortoise". But, in 2006 the tortoise died at the age of almost 250. There are now over 1266 animals of 108 species are living in the Alipore Zoo. And annual visitors of the zoo is about 3 millions. **I captured some photos, but, due to the obstacle of the fence I couldn't take them very clearly. ** To be continued ...
