Tim Draper. “I think I would be right on this one,” Draper told CNBC Make It. Draper first made his bold price prediction in 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $8,000, according to Coinbase. “I will be really right or really wrong [nhưng] I’m pretty sure it’s going in that direction,” Draper said. That’s because Draper believes that virtual currency will be “more used by then”. Draper predicts: “Wait about a year and a half and retailers will use Opennode [một bộ xử lý thanh toán Bitcoin], so people will accept Bitcoin.” Currently only a few major companies accept Bitcoin directly or indirectly through a third-party digital wallet app, including Microsoft, PayPal, Overstock, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Home Depot. And many experts see Bitcoin as a store of value, like gold, rather than currency. Draper said: “I think [Bitcoin] will continue to increase because there are only 21 million in all. Thanks to its code, only 21 million Bitcoins can be “mined”. To date, over 18 million bitcoins have been in circulation. Draper, 63, who built his fortune by making early investments in Twitter, Skype, Tesla and SpaceX, did not share how many Bitcoins he currently holds or whether he invests in other cryptocurrencies. or not. Draper says most engineers are working on improving Bitcoin right now. Last week, Bitcoin had its first upgrade in four years, called Taproot. Going into effect in November, the reported change will mean greater security and transaction efficiency. It is also meant to unlock the potential for smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain, CNBC reported. Bitcoin “Like Microsoft” [trong] software world or Amazon in the world of e-commerce,” said Draper. He believes that Bitcoin will be at the center of all financial activity in the next two to three decades. However, the value of Bitcoin is highly volatile and there are concerns about its massive energy use. For this and other reasons, experts recommend only investing as much money in Bitcoin as you can afford. Hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped out after Elon Musk tweeted in May that he would be suspending Bitcoin purchases at Tesla due to environmental concerns. In 2014, Draper purchased nearly 30,000 Bitcoins seized by US Marshals Services from the Silk Road Online Black Market.

I felt like I was fatherless because of what we call American exceptionalism. He is still alive, I must make it clear. But our relationship is really over. In this divided country, our situation is not uncommon. Anger over the election results last November seems to have cooled down, and homes and streets have begun to quieten again. However, the instability that former President Donald Trump sparked continues, as Americans choose sides in the longer war: “Who on Earth matters?”. Opposition between the two factions One faction thinks it is right to worry about others, who are different from them, and for those they need to protect. The other side also claims to be right in worrying about themselves, their like-minded people, and even those they see as needing protection. Exceptionalism is a deeply rooted belief in America. We Americans have always believed that we are better than others. God, the universe, the gods – all supernatural powers that bless humanity – have given Americans a special freedom. Even now, in the middle of summer 2021, we can decide whether we want to believe in the existence of a global pandemic, and if we want to participate in controlling the spread of the coronavirus. While many Americans have to endure starvation, poverty or experience fear and loss because of the Covid-19 pandemic; On the contrary, millions of other Americans still believe that tragedy will never come. Those experiencing the pain of Covid-19, or those who have witnessed others go hungry or lose friends and family forever, believe that we are all in a very difficult situation. We’re just fine until everyone else is safe. Often, the only difference between these groups of people is the news channel they watch, and how that channel covers science or conspiracy theories. In a chaotic world where hundreds of millions of people are begging for a vaccine, this country is throwing away thousands of doses a day because Americans – in so many places – refuse to get vaccinated before the vaccine expires. My father is one of them. Influence from news sources During the pandemic, while we were following the government’s lockdown and social distancing requirements, I didn’t get a chance to visit him. But now, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again. I, you and everyone around will not be safe if you do not get vaccinated. I myself do not know how long he will hold out to witness this situation. My dad and I both spent a lot of time reading news during the pandemic, from different sources, of course. To be honest, I am proud to have opened up and changed my mind about SARS-CoV-2 and the threat to humanity since it was discovered. Every day, I try to stay up to date with the latest epidemiological information and public health recommendations. I’m the type of American who believes my sources are trustworthy. As a nurse, I believe I am knowledgeable enough to read published medical studies and draw my own conclusions. I’m on the side of science. On the contrary, my father is also very proud because he follows the news every night, reads and shares articles he finds online, and is careful with the advice he receives. He is the type of American who believes that Fox News is the only news channel that tells the truth, even if they are influenced by other news sources, by big corporations and the “bad guys” of the Democratic Party in power. in Washington, DC He was the kind of American who taught himself enough to understand what was going on in the world, to know who to believe. But he chose to believe the seemingly secret information his friends shared on Facebook about the conspiracy of scientists and the government. He read an article saying that hundreds of people died from vaccination, so now he claims to never vaccinate. Not one of his acquaintances has died from Covid-19. As a white middle-class man with a military pension and lifelong medical care for veterans, he never had to fear poverty, disease, loss, or disease. To him, the threat posed by the coronavirus is nothing more than the exaggeration of the press and propaganda apparatus. In a country house with a beautiful lawn and large backyard, is it wrong for you to hold fast to American exceptionalism, even if it causes your relationship with your son to fall apart? The son you believe he is the victim of corona virus conspiracies? Lots of other people don’t have the privilege of choosing like my dad. Millions of Americans are grieving the loss of someone they love, a job, and what we once called “normal”. They are fighting every day for their lives, while those around them angrily protest against the restrictions, even if it is to protect public health. Each person chooses to listen to a separate news channel, so the way they suffer is also very different. The influence of paranoid conspiracy theories My best friend, a wonderful couple, belongs to a group of Americans convinced that free public education is a tool of government propaganda and oppression. So they let the kids learn at home. When some people start to believe in paranoid conspiracy theories and let it affect children, it’s hard to tell them to give up their beliefs. There is a very small gap between homeschooling and believing in untested medical methods. It’s like believing in the magical qualities of crystals or some type of oil with herbal extracts that can heal diseases. And so, the road from believing in an untested cure to becoming an anti-vaccine is also very short. I wonder when those kind people are trapped in the trap of unscientific information and far from reality, do they ever question whether the news they receive every day can be trusted or not? Such is the situation of my friends. They are neither white nor financially stable, their jobs are difficult during the pandemic, and they know people who have lost loved ones to Covid-19. They do not have the privilege of sitting on the lawn mower in their front yard while waiting for the inconvenience of the blockade to end. They are forced to look for other sources of information and monitor the spread of the virus and listen to warnings about the disease. They surreptitiously and shamefully vaccinate themselves and their children. A discreet wife told me this secret. She also talks about how dozens of parents share supporting information and materials in homeschooling advocacy groups. They talk non-stop about the threat vaccines pose to children, echoing conspiracy theories about the dangers of masks and social distancing. She confided in me about the feeling of letting people down when she got vaccinated. American exceptionalism gives people the belief that they can avoid the difficulties others face. White and affluent parents believe they can “escape” the infection, but not everyone can. Definitely not my friends. When comparing two streams of information, what will they believe? Only fools believe in science without proof, and with the expectation that truth cannot be false. Science changes when new research is published. News channels are gaining a reputation for distinguishing between bad science and good science, and then they deliver news to readers who are increasingly confused about what is good and bad. Freedom goes too? “Why?” – some people may ask – “Can I believe what I hear, only to hear something completely different after a few months? Should I believe something dangerous is happening when no one I know is suffering?” It was my father, who read the news about the racist cases he had never heard of, and then deduced that the broadcaster would be full of lies to advance his own policy purposes. It was my friends who heard the online community say the truth was nothing compared to what their families went through. American pride is shaken when many cannot distinguish between science and conspiracy theory. And they are afraid. So I lost my dad to American exceptionalism. During the pandemic, I couldn’t see him. With an underlying medical condition, I am at high risk of death if I contract Covid-19. I could not speak to him without often ending in a heated argument. “Why doesn’t the other person come to his senses when he falls into conspiracies?” – Each of us asked ourselves the same. Why do some people believe that they are special, blessed by God, the universe, the gods? Just because something bad hasn’t happened, doesn’t mean it never will. We Americans are free to decide whether or not to believe in the existence of a global pandemic; as well as believing it affects all of us; Or do we participate in preventing deaths by simply getting two shots and wearing masks in public? We are free to decide who on Earth matters while expired, unopened vaccines are rejected across the country. I often wonder, do we have too much freedom?

Sharing the images on Twitter, Mr. David Harrison said: “The cows cause chaos on Woodlands Road in Beverley. At least 7 cows have escaped from the village, walked long distances and are now tearing down people’s lawns. After eating all the grass on Woodlands Road, they play in Atkinson Road. This area has less grass, but there are quite good scratching lights.” However, the bulls’ ‘big day’ came to an end after being rounded up by Zowie Bell, herdsman at Beverley Westwood, but one cow still escaped. Mr. David Harrison humorously said: “A stray cow, it doesn’t know that their friend has come home. This is like going to a bar, going to the dance floor but not seeing your partner.” The president of Beverley Pasture Masters, Allan English, says there are about 300 cattle on the pastures around town, but the smaller one occasionally escapes, making its way into town. “Residents won’t mind if they don’t cause any major damage. We’ll have them back in Westwood soon,” said Allan English. Bulls living in the European countryside are often very curious but not aggressive in nature. However, some breeds of Limousins ​​in the Limousin and Marche regions of France are quite aggressive.

“We were at the door and wanted to go out, but the police blocked the door. Therefore, no one can go to pharmacy, ”said this person. “In a panic, we fell into each other. I thought I would be trampled to death. “I saw the dead right next to me,” he recalls. “I feel like I’m going to die” A man named David said to him Ynet that the stomping happened when people came to see the fire. “Suddenly a wave of people came. We were swept away. Some people were thrown into the sky, others were crushed on the ground, ”he described. “There was a baby trying to hold onto my leg for life. We waited for our rescue within 15-20 minutes amidst this insane crowd. It was terrible, ”he recalls. Aid workers tried to remove the injured from the scene. Photo: Reuters. “Time seems endless, around us are paralyzed dead,” another witness said Ynet . He was dragged out of the crowd by the police to avoid suffocating. “Some people were on me. I was on someone who couldn’t breathe anymore. Surrounded with screams, I could see the children below me. At that time, I just thought of not wanting my children to die. orphan, “another witness shared with Israeli media. A 24-year-old witness named Dvir recounts that a bunch of people have been cornered. The first row collapsed under the pressure of the crowd, then the second row, where he was standing. “I felt like I was going to die,” he said. The disaster caused rescuers to struggle to disperse the crowd and rescue victims from the scene. “We are holding about 30 children and cannot reach their parents,” said a relief worker Channel 12 . “I’ve never seen anything like this. We are not sure what happened, but the consequences are unimaginable, ”he said. “We think there is a warning about a suspicious package of bombs,” a pilgrim named Yizhak told. Channel 12 . Meanwhile, follow New York Times, It seems that the trampling happened when some people slipped over the stone steps leading into a narrow, steep, metal floor. Ynet describes this as a “waterfall stream”. A witness named Chaim Vertheimer said the ramp was slippery due to water, including fruit juice being spilled onto the floor. “Everyone stopped, but many people continued to come. I remember hundreds of people exclaiming: I can’t breathe, ”she said Ynet. The festival turns into a tragedy From the night of April 29, about 100,000 radical Orthodox Jews gathered in Mount Meron, northern Israel to hold a traditional religious festival. Around 1 am on April 30 (local time), disaster happened. Thousands of people stepped on each other, killing 44 people and injuring hundreds. There is currently no official conclusion on the cause of the case. Extreme orthodox Jews celebrate the Lag b’Omer festival on the 18th day of the month of Iyar on the Jewish calendar. Pilgrims set fire to fire and dance around the tomb of a second-century rabbi to commemorate the clergy’s death. This year, the festival is still held, although Israeli health officials warn of the danger of this event becoming a reservoir of Covid-19 infection. Bodies of the victims were removed from the scene. Photo: Times of Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it “a terrible catastrophe”. He came to the scene to directly direct the rescue work. The leader also declared 1/5 as a national mourning day for victims of the disaster. Some of the pilgrims present at the scene questioned and chanted slogans against him, according Times of Israel . The area around the scene is divided into several small areas for crowd control. The disaster has raised many questions about weakness, even negligence in planning. The recorded videos show police trying to block people who want to escape from the scene. They may not be aware of the severity of the situation and wish the chaotic crowd did not spread to other areas. Some images also show a locked door in the emergency exit. Eli Levy, spokesman for Israeli police, said investigations were underway, but it was too early to blame or indictment of negligence. He also said that many of the pilgrims refused to leave despite the calls to evacuate. For the survivors, they were unable to understand what happened. “Nobody imagined it could happen. The glee turned into mourning. The bright light turned into a deep night,” the witness named Yitzhak told him. Channel 12.

At times, many places across the country were flooded with information about sophisticated tricks to “hide the ball” of multi-level business. At that time, the wave of multi-level sales such as octopus spouts, crept into every corner in many rural areas, stirred the already very peaceful lives of the people here. Because of the desire to be rich, many people have spent money to multilevel and then fall into the trap of scams that the family goes bankrupt.

But the multi-level “tornado” is still nothing compared to the “fever” of virtual land.

These days, real estate prices in many provinces are increasing “rapidly”, creating a “fever” of land, especially in rural areas. Provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh … land prices in suburban areas have doubled or even tripled in just a few months. In many places, people quit production and business to carry money to trade land.

The land fever not only occurs in the planned areas but also occurs in locations that are not under the planning such as: forest land, field land, garden … “Storks” appear everywhere in the area. These areas create false excitement, pushing prices up every hour to entice investors in. For example, outside of Hanoi, there are areas that increase the price from 5 million / m2 to 7 million / m2 in just one day….

In general across the country, the average land price increases 10% -15% after 1 month. With such attractive profits, many people quit their businesses, their production, and withdraw money from banks to invest in land.

Everywhere, everywhere, people talked about land prices. This story appears in the whole meal, the people’s sleep makes life turn upside down, work stops.

Prescribe root treatment

According to many opinions, the low interest rate of credit plus the idle money of the people makes a large capital pouring into real estate, creating a virtual “fever” in the suburban areas.

This is not the first time the appearance of “fever” of soil. So the question is where is the managerial responsibility of the authorities, especially the responsibility of the local government?

The local government – where the land “fever” occurs, cannot ignore this situation because it will make a big obstacle to calling for and attracting formal investment. In fact, the increase in land prices will lead to a series of other costs increasing, especially the cost of compensation for site clearance … Thus, it will affect economic development in localities with ” fever “soil. Consequences of the land price increase will also reduce investment resources for production development in many other sectors and fields of the country.

Therefore, the local government needs to promote propaganda and explain to the people the serious consequences of the land “fever”, which will certainly limit a lot of speculation.

Commenting on this issue, Professor Dang Hung Vo – former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, said that the “fever” situation of land everywhere over time is partly due to the impact of the 2013 Land Law. regulations on sub-plots for sale are expanded.

According to him, countries around the world use the form of subdivision for sale only to settle urban housing, not in commerce because in principle, the real estate market must exploit the value of the investment. land, not waiting for land price increases to make a profit as a form of “eating away”.

Professor Dang Hung Vo pointed out, from 2016 to 2020, the Government has instructed four times to amend the Land Law, however, up to now the Land Law has not been revised. In particular, the land is clogged with old regulations. For example, current agricultural land has not yet implemented effective accumulation and concentration. Along with that is the land transfer in the countryside almost not according to the procedure but mainly by handwriting. Then the problem of housing development nowadays also has many bottlenecks … Especially the problem of foreigners buying underground land in Vietnam … It is these shortcomings that have a direct impact on the real estate market, making distorting and manipulating the market, creating opportunities for those who have the opportunity to make money.

Therefore, Professor Dang Hung Vo emphasized that the revision of the Land Law is extremely necessary.

Along with that, according to experts’ view, in the context that lending interest rates are pouring heavily on real estate, the State Bank needs to closely monitor and supervise lending activities to prevent loans to production and business, but actually poured into real estate.
