A scene from the farmer group’s video. (Photo cut from clip) A “fashion show” with “models” who are Chinese farmers wearing clothes made from vegetables and agricultural products is becoming an exciting story for Chinese netizens. In the footage shot in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, four women wearing costumes and accessories made from agricultural products perform a catwalk on a dirt road, with music and rural settings. The video begins with a woman holding a large horn loudspeaker and proclaiming: “Let’s welcome our village flowers on a dazzling stage.” After that, the group of women walked confidently towards the camera, wearing skirts made of vegetables, accessories such as guavas, loofahs and eggplants. They seem to have learned some catwalk tricks, like making cool facial expressions, not looking directly at the camera, and slightly nodding their heads when approaching the camera. The 1-minute show is the way these women came up with a way to attract buyers of agricultural products. Group of women performing homemade costumes. (Photo cut from clip) The video was filmed by a woman surnamed Xu and posted on the account Douyin, an application similar to TikTok. “The first person is my mother-in-law. I go third. We are all one family,” Xu said in the introduction to the video. “We make skirts out of vegetables and hats using what we find in the surrounding garden,” says Xu. The woman said she hopes the video “can make her life better”. “Our organic vegetables are not being sold very well. So I thought to use my Douyin account to promote agricultural products,” Xu said. On Douyin, many people praised this group of women as cute and commented that the world famous fashion events sometimes have to compete with them. Xu is one of thousands of Chinese farmers who already know how to use social media. Over the years, rural life-themed clips have become popular on online platforms. Li Ziqi became one of the most popular stars on Chinese social media thanks to his videos about the rural lifestyle.

According to the preliminary information calculation of the People’s Data Research Institute, the “10+1” pilot area of ​​the digital renminbi has covered nearly 150 million groups, accounting for approximately 10.7% of the total population. At present, the six major state-owned banks and another online commercial bank have connected to the digital RMB wallet. As of the end of 2020, there have been as many as 6,700 pilot applications of digital renminbi nationwide, covering almost many areas such as ticket purchases, living payments, and catering expenditures. It is reported that in June 2021, a Beijing company used digital renminbi to pay employees’ salaries for the first time.

When the technology of the Internet of Things becomes more and more mature, I believe that the digital renminbi can be used in more aspects of life. However, some people have raised the question that “digital renminbi will replace paper money.” Relevant financial experts said that it is difficult for the digital renminbi to be completely paper money. One is that the current digital renminbi application technology is not mature enough. If the number of transactions reaches a certain limit, it may cause software failures or downtime; the second is that the digital renminbi must be established on the people’s willingness to use it.

With the wave of digital renminbi, more and more payment methods are now available. However, for the older generation, there are still many people who choose to use banknotes. At present, the banknotes we use are still the fifth set of RMB issued in 2019.

What is the difference between the new RMB and the old RMB? Does the old 5 dime coin contain gold?

It is reported that the fifth set of RMB in the 2019 version is not much different from the 1999 version in terms of patterns, tones and specifications. However, in terms of details, the 2019 version of the RMB has increased the saturation of colors, so I look at it. It is more colorful than the old version of RMB; vertical numbers and optically variable security lines have also been added, and the anti-counterfeiting technology has also been greatly improved.

After talking about the banknotes, let’s take a look at the coins. Although very few people use coins now, the coins have not withdrawn from the market. The 1 yuan coin and the 1 dime coin remain basically unchanged, but the change of the 5 dime coin can be called a “makeover”.

If someone still has the old version of the five-point coin in their hands, they will remember that the color of the coin is “local gold”, but the material of the new version of the five-point coin has changed from a copper alloy to a nickel-plated steel core, and the color has also changed from gold to silver. white.

In response to this, there have been different voices in the society. Some people think that the new version of the five-point coin has become silver because it does not contain “gold”. Does the old version of the five-point coin contain gold? In this regard, the bank manager told us the truth behind it.

The bank manager said that the old version of the 5 dime coin does not contain any gold

Why there are such rumors, one is because of the color of the old five-cent coin, because the material is brass alloy, golden yellow is easily reminiscent of gold; the other is that some collectors are trying to coax the old five-cent coin. The collection price, deliberately “spreading” the old version of the idea that the 5 cents contained gold, the purpose is to let more collector coin lovers “fall into the trap”.

Moreover, gold is a precious metal, and its price has always been expensive. According to the price released by China Gold on June 11, 2021, the basic gold price per gram is 387.7 yuan. If the old version contains gold in the 50 cents, the amount of gold spent will be difficult to predict.

Therefore, don’t be “deceived”. Some people think that the old version of the five-corner contains gold and make it into jewelry or necklaces to wear. This practice is already damaging the renminbi and is not allowed by law.

Are the old coins worth collecting?

The reason why it is said that the old version of the 50 cents has gold is to “hype” the price of the collection. Now we all know that gold is not included, so is there any collection value in the old version of the 50 cents? The answer is yes, and the collection value is very high.

The number of old 50-cent coins circulating on the market is already very rare, especially the “old three-flower” five-point plum. It is reported that of all the years, the 50 cents of plum blossoms in 1993 was the most valuable, and then in 1991, 1992 and 1994. This is because in the period from 1991 to 1994, due to the limited production capacity of the country that year, the circulation of the five-pointed plum blossom was not large, and the five-pointed plum blossom was the last circulating coin made of brass alloy, which was valuable for collection. It doubled even more.

Although the old version does not contain gold, but there is the old version of the five-point plum, which can be kept for a good collection, especially the five-point plum coins of the above 4 years, there may be more room for appreciation in the future.

Do you still have the habit of using paper money? Or is there an old version of the 5 dime coin? Welcome to leave your thoughts.

Hughes’ family has a tradition of breeding for generations. Now, he uses the farm to mine cryptocurrencies with a set of “buffalo plows” that use renewable energy from cow dung. Mining coins with renewable energy With six cylinder engines at 500 rpm, Hughes’ anaerobic digestion system can turn the methane that produces cow dung into electricity. BBC said. Under hypoxic conditions, microorganisms will eat hydrogen and carbon dioxide in cow dung and release methane gas, which can be burned to generate heat. The residue left after the anaerobic stage will be used as fertilizer. Philip Hughes’ farm (left) uses cow dung to produce renewable energy, feed livestock, and mine Ethereum. Photo: Crypto Hunter. According to Hughes, about two-thirds of the electricity generated from the anaerobic digester powers the nearby cattle ranch and caravan park. The rest of the energy is used for “buffalo plow” platforms to mine Ethereum. Hughes said Ethereum mining returns are good, but “depends on the date the question is asked,” referring to the cryptocurrency’s unpredictable price movements. Since May, the value of Ethereum has dropped from more than $4,000 to around $2,500, according to data from . CoinDesk on the evening of 10/6. Is mining with green energy possible? Not only digging Ethereum at the farm, Hughes also came up with the idea of ​​​​renting a “buffalo plow”. Josh Riddett, a representative of Easy Crypto Hunter miner provider, said that the cost to pay is about $ 25,400 for each “buffalo plow” set consisting of many computer graphics cards with strong configuration. According to Riddett, Easy Crypto Hunter’s mining rigs have been installed in 42 different locations. They use energy forms such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity and stored methane from anaerobic digesters. The longevity of the “buffalo plow” platforms causes concern about e-waste. Photo: Getty Images. However, representatives of some small hydropower projects are concerned that cryptocurrency mining may have an adverse impact on the environment. Meanwhile, the hydroelectric power plant operator said that the unstable value of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to recover capital for the project. Some people said that crooks broke in and stole the mining rig. Besides hydroelectric power, the initiative to use renewable energy (green energy) to mine cryptocurrencies is also controversial. According to the BBC , renewable energy to mine coins can be used for other purposes such as powering electric cars or heating. Financial economist Alex de Vries said that using green energy to mine coins is wasteful. “The benefits these systems offer are very limited. Bitcoin can only process up to 7 transactions per second, while payment services like Visa can process 65,000 transactions per second if needed.” Vries is also concerned that the longevity of the “buffalo plots” could make them quickly become e-waste. Using renewable energy to mine coins is considered wasteful. Photo: BTCManager. In the UK, the Association of Bioresources and Anaerobic Digestion of the country said that the number of energy plants mining cryptocurrencies is quite small. While the future of cryptocurrency is unclear, several people have expressed interest in Hughes’ mining project. This farmer is fully aware of the risks of investing in assets whose value fluctuates, sometimes with just a single tweet from Elon Musk. If the cryptocurrency market crashes, Hughes said he will use the computing power of the “buffalo” to serve other purposes, such as hiring filmmakers to render. The owner of the net shop removed the machine, digs coins and waits for the translation to end Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quan (Thu Duc City) had to close the net shop, remove the graphics card to dig coins, earn extra income waiting for the reopening date.

Brent oil price increased for 4 consecutive sessions on June 15. Photo: Reuters Ending the session on June 14, Brent oil price advanced 17 US cents to 72.86 USD/barrel. The price of this oil commodity at the beginning of the session jumped to $73.64 per barrel – the highest level since April 2019. The price of WTI oil fell 3 US cents to 70.88 USD/barrel, after touching $71.78/barrel at one point, the highest level since October 2018. The price of “black gold” has increased sharply in recent weeks thanks to a gradual recovery in demand for fuel in the context of many countries easing restrictions to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. The International Energy Agency (IEA) on June 11 forecast that global demand will return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022, faster than previously predicted. The IEA called on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, collectively known as the OPEC+ group, to increase supply to meet demand. The OPEC+ group has limited output to support oil prices after the Covid-19 pandemic caused demand to drop to a record in 2020. Indirect discussions between the US and Iran, and the remaining powers in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, resumed on June 12 in Vienna (Austria). However, the European Union (EU) described this round of negotiations on the multilateral nuclear deal as “tense”. The US return to the Iran Nuclear Agreement, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), would pave the way for the lifting of economic sanctions on Tehran, thereby allowing the OPEC member This continues to export crude oil. However, financial consulting firm ING Economics said that the possibility of the US rejoining the JCPOA before the Iranian presidential election this weekend is very unlikely. Regarding supply, the OPEC + group recently decided to maintain the production agreement to support oil prices in the middle of the epidemic season. According to ING, additional supply from the OPEC+ group will be needed in the second half of the year, as demand is expected to continue to recover. However, the rally of oil prices in the session was also limited as investors cautiously waited for the outcome of the policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve (FED) from 15-16/// 6 to look for signals on when the central bank will begin to scale back its monetary stimulus measures.

Binance official documents show that users can purchase a digital token that represents one percent of Tesla’s single-day stock price, instead of buying the entire stock. This equity is held by a custodial portfolio of underlying securities representing the issued tokens. Yes, based on Tesla’s share price of $760 per share, Binance investors can buy the equity token at a minimum price of $7.6. Token holders may also receive relevant dividends. To some extent, Binance users invest in Tesla shares in a “disguised form” by buying this equity token. However, the equity token cannot be exchanged for Tesla’s actual stock, it is just a tradable stock token. Binance stated that this move is aimed at solving the problem of after-hours trading of U.S. stocks by overseas users. U.S. brokerages provide after-hours trading, but for investors outside the U.S., stock tokens can allow them to access the country’s $47 trillion stock market anytime and anywhere without having to overcome regulatory barriers or jet lag. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said in a statement that stock tokens demonstrate how the company can achieve a more seamless value transfer and reduce the cost of accessibility without compromising compliance or security. . It should be noted that digital tokens have clear regulations in China. The Central Bank of China clearly stipulated in the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the People’s Bank of China (Revised Draft for Solicitation of Comments)” in October last year, Any unit or individual is prohibited from making and selling digital tokens. Binance Coin has risen by 53% in the past seven days In addition to the equity token BUSD, the blockchain currency “Binance Coin” (BNB) issued by Binance has also continued to surge this week. Stimulated by the news of the Coinbase listing this week, Binance Coin has risen by 53% in the past seven days and has a market value of 580 billion yuan. It ranks third in the global digital currency market value after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Powell: Digital currency is a tool for speculation However, the recent continuous surge in digital currencies has also attracted regulatory attention. On Wednesday, Eastern Time, Powell said in an online interview with the Forum Washington Athletic Club, “ Cryptocurrency is actually a tool of speculation. They are not really actively used for payments. “ This is Powell’s reference to the speculative use of cryptocurrency again. During a hearing in the U.S. Congress last month, Powell said, The private cryptocurrency represented by Bitcoin is more suitable for speculation and cannot be used as a substitute for the US dollar. The completely private digital dollar system is not reliable. Powell’s evaluation of cryptocurrencies is consistent with his predecessor and former Fed Chairman Yellen who is currently the U.S. Treasury Secretary. In February of this year, Yellen stated that Bitcoin is a “highly speculative asset” and that digital currency may bring a faster and cheaper payment experience, “but there are many issues that need to be studied, including consumer protection and anti-money laundering.” . She also said that using Bitcoin for transactions is an “extremely inefficient way” and that processing these transactions consumes astonishing energy. Regarding the regulatory stance, Jesse Powell, CEO of Kraken, the world’s fourth largest digital currency exchange, warned that Governments may begin to restrict the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, “maybe there will be some crackdowns.”

According to the Businesstoday , immediately after appearing on several exchanges, the price of this cryptocurrency increased by 1,000% in just 24 hours. From around 0.17 USD per coin, the price of DubaiCoin increased to 1.13 USD on May 27. The developer claims that DubaiCoin will soon be used in a series of product and service transactions both offline and online, replacing traditional fiat currencies. Currently, the value of DubaiCoin has reached 0 USD after the Dubai government announced that this digital currency has not been approved by any authority. DubaiCoin rapidly increased in price after its launch. Photo: Businesstoday. Not too long ago, an emerging coin that also caught the eye was Polygon from India. The famous “shark” billionaire on the show Shark Tank, Mark Cuban, has publicly supported and invested in this cryptocurrency. Currently, Polygon’s market capitalization is over 10 billion USD and is among the 20 largest cryptocurrencies in the world. On May 28, the cryptocurrency market showed signs of recovery. Bitcoin was trading at above $38,000/BTC at around 9am. This coin has still not been able to surpass the $ 40,000 mark in the context of China’s strict policies on mining and trading in coins. Since mid-April until now, the Bitcoin price has dropped by about 30% due to China’s policy and Elon Musk’s open tweets.

The move comes after Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said last week in a statement that it was necessary to “suppress the behavior of Bitcoin mining and trading” to prevent “the transmission of personal risk to social spheres”. Those comments are seen as Beijing’s intention to further block Bitcoin trading and other crypto-related activities. Inner Mongolia’s latest draft proposals are aimed at telecommunications and internet companies involved in cryptocurrency mining. The Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission said such companies could have their business licenses revoked if they are found to be involved in Bitcoin mining. In addition, cloud computing or data centers may have their government incentives revoked. In addition, there are severe penalties for individuals involved in money laundering through cryptocurrencies. Inner Mongolia’s tough stance on crypto mining began in March after it announced plans to ban new crypto mining projects and shut down existing operations to cut consumption. energy. China’s Northern Region failed to meet Beijing’s energy use targets in 2019 and subsequently set out a plan to reduce power consumption. In the case of Bitcoin, miners purposefully use computers to solve complex mathematical puzzles that allow a Bitcoin transaction to take place efficiently. These miners are rewarded with Bitcoins. But because the computer has a large capacity, it consumes a lot of energy. According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, Bitcoin mining consumes around 112.57 terrawatt-hours (TWh) per year, more than the consumption of countries like the Philippines and Chile. China accounts for about 65% of the world’s Bitcoin mining. Of that, Inner Mongolia accounts for about 8% globally due to cheap energy prices, a larger share of Bitcoin mining in the United States. China’s tough stance towards cryptocurrencies is not new. China previously shut down local cryptocurrency exchanges in 2017 and that same year also banned initial coin offerings (ICOs). But Bitcoin trading continues to operate in China even though exchanges have moved overseas. Inner Mongolia’s scrutiny of Bitcoin mining activity in particular comes as China tries to continue the move. Chinese President Xi Jinping said last year that China has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2060. But according to a study published in Nature Communications in April 2021, Bitcoin mining could “undermine emissions reduction efforts” going on in the country. The energy consumption of Bitcoin mining operations came back into focus in early May after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the electric carmaker would stop accepting the digital currency for the reason due to environmental concerns. On Monday (May 24), Musk said in a tweet that he has met Bitcoin miners in North America and that they are “committed to announcing current and planned uses of renewables.”

Before this fluctuation, many users wait for the price of VGA to decrease, to buy a graphics card to install in their computer at a cheaper price. However, this is unlikely to happen. “Even when the coin price has plummeted, people who install buffalo plows are still profitable for many reasons. VGA is still sold out in the market, so there is no reason to reduce the price too deeply,” Nguyen Bao, manager at a major computer store in Ho Chi Minh City shared with Zing . Coin price falls, “plowers” are still profitable “Plowing” coins is actually the process of using machines to perform calculations to validate transactions on the blockchain network. This concept holds true for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and coins that use Proof of Work (PoW) consensus. Currently, the “buffalo” installations with computer graphics cards mainly plow Ethereum. Although the price of Ethereum has plummeted, the market for buying and selling “buffaloes” is still very active. Photo: Chi Kien. When a transaction is validated and a block is completed, the fastest finisher will be rewarded with a pre-specified amount of cryptocurrency. From the performance of the computer and the difficulty of the network, the plow system owner can estimate how many coins he will collect per day. Since the number of people participating in Ethereum mining fluctuates constantly, the difficulty of mining also changes. If mining during a period of low prices, but many people quit mining, the difficulty decreases, the “farmers” plow coins still earn more Ethereum per day. As a result, they are still profitable. “Participants in plowing coins are only interested in profit. Although the price has decreased, but every day they dig more, they are still profitable. Therefore, looking at the price of Ethereum falling and saying that VGA is going to be cheap is not baseless,” said Mr. Bao. Compared to the beginning of January, the price of Ethereum has increased by about 3 times. As a result, market participants “plowing” the coin were profitable. When using applications on the Ethereum blockchain, users pay a small fee called a gas fee. This fee is also charged in Ethereum. In addition to the reward for completing a block, the farmer who plows the coin is also entitled to a portion of the gas fee. According to Etherscan, the price of gas has increased over the past few days due to many participants trading on the Ethereum network. Screenshots. During the volatility of the market, the number of investors pouring money into trading also increased. According to statistics from Etherscan, gas fees increased sharply on May 19, which is also the day the entire cryptocurrency market plummeted. In other words, once participating in the mining network, mining rig owners have many opportunities to earn money. The profit from the rig is not entirely dependent on the price of the cryptocurrency. Don’t wait for VGA prices to drop in the near future VGA price in the market still depends on supply – demand factors. The demand of miners has increased sharply, while ordinary users still need to buy cards to play games and work, making the balance of “demand” always heavy. Meanwhile, the source with VGA is not guaranteed. The global chip crisis lasted for the past year, making it difficult for manufacturers to ensure output. Domestic distributors, even if they wanted to, could not import large quantities. “Every month we can only import a few hundred VGAs. This quantity is much lower compared to other components. It is very difficult to meet the needs of dealers,” said The Vuong, a product manager at a distributor based in Hanoi. Many “buffalo plow” owners have broken even, so there is no need to sell off the rig when the price drops. They profit from the reduced difficulty, even willing to shut down if necessary to wait for the price to rise. Photo: King Kai. According to information from some dealers, the price of VGA in Vietnam market is still cheaper than surrounding countries such as Thailand and China. Therefore, the amount of VGA imported has been less and sometimes has to be shared with other markets. On groups that share the experience of installing buffalo plowing machines, the market for mining rigs is still very active, the number of daily new buy and sell posts is still very much. Occasionally there are questions and answers about the situation when the price of Ethereum goes down, but many rig owners are still very optimistic. “Actually, many people buy the system and then give it to someone else to manage, and collect money every month. It’s very easy to do. Those who joined early have now broken even, just less profit. Those who have participated for a long time understand the market too well, they can’t easily sell their ‘fishing rods’,” said Mr. Bao. In June, a number of component manufacturers will launch a VGA line with poorer performance of “ploughing coins”, called lite hash rate. Due to inefficiency when plowing coins, this VGA line may be less attractive to plowmen and suitable for gamers. However, not excluding the possibility of price fluctuations, Ethereum’s difficulty makes mining rig owners also “empty” low performance when needed.

Elon Musk declares allegiance to Dogecoin (Image: WCCFTech) Elon Musk declared his allegiance to Dogecoin causing its value to increase by 15% during this crypto volatility. The billionaire American businessman responded to a Twitter thread speculating about his Dogecoin holdings with the message: “I have not and will not sell any Dogecoins.” This move of Elon Musk immediately caused Dogecoin to increase in value after many days of falling. Earlier, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX posted on Twitter a photo of a laptop with a $1 bill sticker on it with the caption: “How many Doge’s in the window.” If you look closely, you can see that this bill has a picture of a Shiba Inu dog, the symbol of Dogecoin, in place of President George Washington. Elon Musk’s post on Twitter (Image: Twitter) This is the second time this week that Elon Musk has publicly expressed support for cryptocurrencies, after making an announcement on Twitter that Tesla would hold onto its Bitcoins as the market shows signs of a market crash. Earlier, Elon Musk faced criticism from social media users when some suggested that he sold his Bitcoins when its price peaked in the market. Elon Musk responded by tweeting that the electric car company has a “Diamond Hand,” referring to traders who hold stocks when prices fall with the goal of making long-term profits. The drop in cryptocurrency value over the past few days is said to have started after Elon Musk posted an announcement saying that Tesla was temporarily suspending Bitcoin as payment for its car orders, due to concerns about the risk of loss of money. Bitcoin mining will have a bad effect on the environment. Since then, however, he has repeatedly said that the company will keep its Bitcoins and will allow the use of the cryptocurrency to trade again when mining becomes more stable. Elon Musk announced that he will not sell Tesla’s Bitcoin (Image: Twitter) According to the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, the Bitcoin industry’s annual energy consumption is on par with that of a country the size of Malaysia. And most of the mining is located in regions of China, where electricity is produced cheaply by coal-fired power plants. Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin at the end of 2020 when the price of each Bitcoin was below $20,000 and sold 10% in early 2021 when the price of this virtual currency reached $50,000/Bitcoin, earning on a profit of 101 million USD.

However, in the comments section, the artists showed a lack of basic knowledge about cryptocurrencies. After receiving many reactions, on the morning of May 12, the posts on the website simultaneously “evaporated”. “This is an advertising campaign” Duong Nguyen Huy, owner of a cryptocurrency trading community in Vietnam, said that the series of artists posting about cryptocurrencies is an advertising campaign, because the shared content is the same. both the image and the spelling, no different from a semicolon. “Artist’s posts have started to have an impact. From official accounts (with green ticks), information is widely spread on the Internet, becoming a topic of discussion at offices and cafes. coffee after only a few hours”, Mr. Huy said that this campaign has attracted the attention of many people. Posts promoting cryptocurrencies by many famous people in Vietnam. Photo: Huynh Loc. Not only Dogecoin, Shiba Inu also increased in price thanks to Tesla CEO. On May 7, responding to a Twitter user’s comment, Musk said “looking for a Shiba dog”. Immediately after this statement, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin rose sharply. After just a few days, the price of Shiba Inu has increased by almost 40 times. With nearly 400,000 billion SHIB coins in circulation, the market capitalization at one point surpassed the 20 billion USD mark. Besides, according to Mr. Huy, the cryptocurrency market has many potential risks. For example, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp decline in the period from 2018 to early 2020 regardless of whether it is Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, the artist’s posts on the evening of May 11 did not have any risk warnings. Because of the ambiguity, need the prestige of the celebrity In the list of cryptocurrencies posted by the artists, in addition to the animal names, there is a different coin, placed in the middle of the list is FXT Token. Unlike the other cryptocurrencies on the list advertised by the artists, FXT Token is an anonymous coin. “Anonymous is because it is not listed by big and reputable exchanges, but can only be purchased through small exchanges. The total transaction volume of this coin is only about 500,000 USD/day. That means anyone with about 200,000 USD will also can manipulate its price,” analyzed Dinh Tran, co-founder of a blockchain investment fund in Ho Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, other coins on the list of artists listed have daily transactions from a few hundred million to several billion dollars a day. “Putting FXT Token into the list of worth investing in is very ignorant. It is this ambiguity that makes FXT Token need to rely on celebrity advertising,” said Mr. Dinh. The artist’s post is then captured, shared immediately in multi-level groups, calling for investment. Talk to Zing , the founder of the largest Crypto information platform in Vietnam, said that FXT Token is trying to borrow the influence of celebrities to reassure investors and create fear of missing out (FOMO) to blow. price of this currency. As a result, screenshots of posts by Vietnamese artists were widely shared by the FXT Token community in hundreds of online earning groups. “To Ngoc Trinh, Kieu Minh Tuan, Kha Nhu… still participating, what are you waiting for?”, the content of the status line reposted the screenshot of the person claiming to be the leader Lio****. This shows the significant influence of using artist reputation to promote “junk” cryptocurrency. The predecessor of FXT Token is a binary exchange, similar to the gambling model. Screenshots. The fact that artists have no knowledge, but still promote Dogecoin, Shiba Inu or FXT Token can be misleading, even causing many people to participate in scam projects.

Lucky cat Maneki-neko – fortune cat in Japan. Fortune cats with raised claws, red ears, often hanging coins or gold bars, are believed by many to have the ability to bring luck and prosperity through the centuries. It is also considered as one of the typical cultural products of the land of the rising sun. Here are some interesting facts about this famous statue. The origin is confused Fortune cats are usually white or made of gold, sold in Asian souvenir shops or Chinatowns around the world. This makes many people think that they are of Chinese origin, but in fact they are of Japanese origin. The lucky cat is called Maneki-neko, which in Japanese means “beckoning cat”. Foreign guests may mistakenly think they are saying goodbye. However, in Japan, unlike Western cultures, the way to greet is with the palm facing forward, the finger pointing down, which means that the fortune cat is “calling customers” into the store. The genius cat travels the world It remains unclear how these iconic statues spread beyond the Japanese islands to become famous throughout Asia and the rest of the world. According to a research project led by Bill Maurer, a professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine, the fortune-telling cat statues date back to the Meiji period (1868-1912). In an effort to polish its image with Westerners, the Meiji Government issued the Public Ethics Ordinance in 1872. Accordingly, charms that were not displayed in prostitution, and fortune cats were prohibited. Use as an alternative decoration. From there, they began to be popular in Asian countries and communities. Then, the explosion of Japanese popular culture during the “Cool Japan” era in the 1980s and 1990s, which coincided with the second wave of Chinese immigration to the US, further helped the cat’s popularity. more worldwide. Appears everywhere in Japan In the land of the rising sun, fortune cats are popular and can be found everywhere. The Manekineko Museum of Art in Okayama displays a collection of more than 700 fortune-telling cat statues from across the ages. Cat statues are also honored every year in September when the Manekineko festival is held in many cities across Japan. In Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, there is even a street named Manekineko, where dozens of ceramic cat statues are on display. In Tokyo, you can go to Gotokuji Temple or Imado Shrine. And of course, you can see the genius cat at countless shops, restaurants… in the land of the rising sun. The meaning of the cat statue Over the centuries, the genius cat has had many different versions, serving many human purposes. The statue is blue to pray for peace when participating in traffic. Pink to pray for charm, yellow to pray for fortune and prosperity. Cats wag their right paws to “call” money and luck, but cats wag their left paws to “call” friends and customers. Cat ornaments such as ryo (an oval Japanese coin) represent wealth, and bibs or bells show the Japanese people’s affection and care for cats.

Le Van Em (45 years old, living in Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City) is an antique dealer with a large number of antiques. I came from the business of washing bottles, then switched to selling sidewalk watches. Life moves forward, Em is predestined with marine antiquities, mainly ancient coins. In 2010, I was given some old coins from the time of King Gia Long by my uncle who went to the sea. At that time, I thought this was just for pocket fun. Unexpectedly, in my spare time on the sidewalk, I brought a coin out to polish it and thought of designing a clock face from ancient coins. Being skillful with her hands and having a job, in only 3 days, I was able to “produce” a sidewalk clock with a unique and rare antique facade that is hard to find. Customers who have money, like to play unique goods, pay very high prices. I sold the antique watch for 30 million dong. From 5 ancient coins, Em earned a good amount of money, changed her life, people began to mention the nickname Em “ancient money”. Standing in front of the Tien cave, Mr. Tu said that the ancient coins believed to belong to King Gia Long are very rare and are no longer wandering among the people. Feeling delicious, I made a trip to the places where ancient money was kept, intending to collect a bunch of goods or at least buy them from people around the area. No one knows if Em’s actual trip to search for antiquities will be successful or not, but, returning, Em has continuously produced glittering and sparkling Gia Long watches that are offered for sale at sky-high prices. stop. Not only selling antique watches, Em also sells raw coins to make necklaces or to make rings and bracelets. I no longer sit on the sidewalk but bring an antique shop to my house in Cu Chi. Antiques are not for the crowd. For those who don’t like it, it’s just trash or an ordinary decoration. However, this is the immense love of antique “sheep”. They are willing to spend a lot of money to get their favorite item. Therefore, my customers are not many but quality. Every month I sell a watch and earn tens of millions of dong, while the original price is only equal to a bunch of fish and vegetables, sometimes given away for free. Marine antiquities, including ancient coins on shipwrecks, have been found a lot in the waters of Vietnam and around the world. Ancient coin players believe that ancient coins are always a tool used a lot in feng shui. The coins are a symbol of wealth and wealth. Its sand not only increases fortune, but you bring a lot of luck in terms of fame, career and disaster relief, small people… Ancient money taken from the bottom of the ocean also carries spiritual miracles. deluding. In it, there is a protective deity. In that sense, even selling “exorbitantly” no one complains. If they’re unlucky and buy a fake, they won’t have the strength to fight with guys like Em. It is not acceptable to be confused between real antiques and fake money to profit on the beliefs of others. Real coin players do not accept such deceitful wholesale. And antiquities enthusiasts find themselves traumatized by being deceived. Ancient coins in the reign of King Gia Long became a bustling commodity in the world of antiques. My ancient Gia Long King coins are advertised “sometimes” in a cave in the middle of the sea in Kien Giang. It is a rocky mountain, inside there is a very large cave, the locals call it Tien cave. Here, hundreds of years ago, people in the area picked up a lot of coins, which are said to be left by King Gia Long – Nguyen Anh while he fled to the South. Mr. Tu, a longtime resident who is knowledgeable about this vestige, said: “Many old people in the area have found ancient coins in the cave. Copper coins, due to being soaked in salty sea water, were rusted, chipped, and rotted, so they were no longer wandering among the people. Now it’s hard to earn even a penny, where can you get a lot to trade?” Mr. Tu led us to Tien cave to see the market. Through the seasons of high tide, the stone slabs have been smoothed away, revealing many traces of history. In the cave, there are still a few digging tracks left by people hunting for artifacts. It is not known when the hunters came here to excavate and no one knows what they found in those holes. But, Mr. Tu asserted, for more than 20 years he had lived in this area, he had no longer seen Gia Long ancient coins. Gia Long ancient coins are sold by traders at the price of… kings. On a famous e-commerce site, many ancient Vietnamese coins are for sale, including coins from the Nguyen dynasty for a few tens of millions to several hundred million dong. An ancient coin from the reign of King Minh Mang (1791-1841) is for sale for $2,550. A gold coin from the Thieu Tri Dynasty (1807-1847) cost $2,050. Gold coin from the reign of King Tu Duc is priced at more than 8,700 USD… “Magic” the artifact Antiquities of the ocean, always considered a treasure that is hard to find. Negotiations for antique deals took place with “huge” money. Mr. Mai Trong T. (living in Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City) 20 years ago was an antique dealer with a hierarchy in the world. Mr. T. was originally a wood merchant. The trips and extensive relationships gave Mr. T. a lot of knowledge about antiques. Once going to Con Dao (Ba Ria – Vung Tau), Mr. T. bought an ancient sword with the body of the sword engraved with the words “Thuan Thien”, which translates as “according to the will of heaven or acting on behalf of heaven”. The origin of the sword is still obscure, but its fame has spread throughout the South. People play antiques in Ben Tre, Can Tho, Tien Giang, City. Ho Chi Minh sought Mr. T. to admire the king’s treasure. Negotiations, bargaining late at night, morning and evening took place in Mr. T.’s old house in Cu Chi. Mr. T himself is also fond of antiques, being the things of kings is nothing more precious. The Thai An Sword of King Gia Long is currently on display in a museum in France. According to the spiritual concept of the antique world, the sword symbolizes the strength and authority of a man. There are more golden words engraved on the back of the sword, proving that its owner in the future will be a king with his head on the sky and his feet on the ground. While comparing and calculating, there was a giant in Ho Chi Minh City. When Ho Chi Minh entered the house, he stamped his feet and shouted 5 billion VND. At the time nearly 20 years ago, that was a huge number, able to buy a few houses on the street. Mr. T. sold immediately. Since then, Mr. T. has completely abandoned the timber trade and switched to hunting antiques from the sea. He said that antiques lying under the sea are treasures of the ocean containing countless mysteries. Each item is a part of the soul of the sea, because of some fate that rises to the surface. Mr. T. affirmed: “Every antique of the sea is an epiphany”. Trading in marine antiquities gave Mr. T. a lot of money. At one time, his house contained tens of kilograms of gold and sacks of money. He was engrossed in hunting trips to reserve and wait for his time. With a lot of money, he invested in antiques. Whenever anyone has something, he buys it, he collects it all. In 2013, Mr. T. heard that fishermen excavated and recovered a shipwreck in the waters off Con Dao district. The collection includes 300 antiques with categories: bowls, vases, jars, cups, weights, illuminators, mirrors, decorative stones… made of ceramic, porcelain and metal materials. Especially discovered a number of Chinese coins minted in 1017-1021… Determined, this ship was wrecked around the end of the 14th century… However, Mr. T. was unable to access these artifacts because they were brought to the museum for display. He was led to a fishing village by an antique “stork”, to an old ship containing a bunch of fake “antiquities” that were “clothed” like the real thing. Mr. T. was immersed in it, was charmed by the lure, and then went down to collect the whole “scrap” ship home. He divided the categories, and then began to sell. Some people in the world came to see, there were people who were new to the profession but believed in the level of playing sea antiquities of Mr. T. should rush to buy. Some people, just looking at it, know it’s fake, they told Mr. T. they were scolded by him for a match and chased away. Sculptures on seashells, fossils of hundreds of years under the ocean were purchased by the owner for an “undisclosed” price. Although he firmly defended his antiquities policy, many brothers in the profession recommended him, so Mr. T. quietly hired an appraisal company. The result is fakes, imitations, antique coins, swords and swords that are mediocre things that have been coated with paint and a little chemical preservative. Because he regretted the large amount of money spent, Mr. T. turned himself into a professional liar. He used his reputation and fame to play marine antiquities for many years to start a witch trade. Not only did he cheat in the country, but he also deceived the foreign players. Typically, the sale of antique wine jars, woven by Mr. T. through the story of a Greek ship carrying about 3,000 to 4,000 double-handled ceramic vases, is considered an ancient storage object used to transport wine. sunk around the 5th century BC. Mr. T. told the customer, he had been to Greece to hunt and buy this thing. In fact, he has never stepped foot out of Vietnam in his entire life. The guest widened his eyes in surprise, but he was very careful to bring along a student working in architecture, with a little knowledge of antiquities. Having just finished viewing Mr. T’s marine treasures, the student shook his head and turned to whisper in the teacher’s ear. The Western guest’s face turned from red to pale, then he showed an angry expression. From a master of antiques, briefly “on the elephant”, now Mr. T. has become an ugly, two-faced man, losing all credibility. The guests who had mistakenly bought his unique and strange goods, had to be silent, then cut off the intimacy. For nearly a year now, Mr. T. has not been able to sell any goods, even if they are real. “Antiques carry the soul and contain many mysteries, it can make people have everything, but it will also lose their status if they are forever ecstatic with the fame and profits from it”, Asian record holder, collector Dinh Cong Tuong’s antique collection has drawn the truth after nearly half a century of studying ancient culture.

“FXT Token is a junk project” Launched at the end of 2020, FXT’s investment calling activity has many signs of multi-level resemblance. At its official website, FXT Token claims to be a “comprehensive financial solution that allows users to control their assets. A platform for providers and avails of financial services in cryptocurrency in when circumventing cross-border regulatory restrictions”. Post by Kieu Minh Tuan on personal Facebook. Do Phuong Quynh, a financial expert from Ant Group, Shanghai, China, said that FXT is “a junk project, the information in the White Paper is completely unhelpful. The individuals who run the project are not clear.” Quynh said. FXT is used as a fiat currency used for Lio****’s project. This project acts as a forex trading platform combined with binary options. This form of binary trading has long been warned as a type of multi-level combination gambling. Phuong Quynh assessed that FXT Token works in the same scenario as Wefinex’s WIN and Bitconnect’s BCC. “The project hits people’s ignorance and greed, by building a binary options platform, taking advantage of the reputation of the Forex trading market to trick investors into participating. Investors are promised. promise to pay interest every day, instead of planning to build a trading strategy like real traders,” added Quynh. Instead of having to play on their own, investors in Lio**** are guaranteed to pay interest daily. The total profit for the whole year of this project is up to 2.3 times the original capital. In early 2021, many people lost money when Lio**** stopped working, not allowing money to be withdrawn from the account. “FXT builds systems following the classic ponzi model to pay F1 and F2 players with the aim of enticing more people to join the system. Investors who do not have a background in finance often consider it This project is like a solution to help them earn money without labor”, Ms. Quynh warned. Sharing the same opinion, Mr. N. T, a representative of a blockchain incubator investment fund, said that FXT Token is associated with an unsustainable business model, mainly hitting greed. He said there are two types of people who will invest in FXT. “First, investors are ignorant of the mechanics and nature of the cryptocurrency market and forex investment. They are easily attracted by things that sound new, the stories are made up sounding. logic, terms that they are unlikely to understand, such as ‘technology 4.0’. This number may account for 80-90%,” said Mr. T. T. The second group of people listed by expert N. T are investors who understand the nature of these scam models, but think they can control the risks themselves. “They think they are quick, can invest early, withdraw early. But they themselves can’t control their greed later on. This number accounts for about 10-20%,” added Mr. T. The FXT coin is said to be directly related to the Lio**** multi-level project. Photo: VTV. FXT Token is only listed on small, less reputable exchanges like Bilaxy, FatBTC. In addition, the head office of the project is located in Vanuatu, the eastern island of Australia. The recommended company size is 51-200 employees. However, on Linkedin, there is only information of 4 profiles, including an individual who is Vietnamese. “To solve the biggest fear of investors is not being able to withdraw money, FXT has listed FXT Token on specialized exchanges or called ‘junk’ exchanges. In fact, these exchanges have no liquidity. , the value is manipulated, whether it can be sold or not is another story. Many investors are also deceived by the term ‘international exchange'”, said Mr. T. Sharing information about the listing standards of the world’s crypto exchanges today, Mr. T said that this standard is getting lower and lower, especially in less-known exchanges. “Currently, there are hundreds of exchanges. These exchanges want to ‘make a living’ also through coin listing. The less reputable the exchange, the lower the listing standard. They are willing to do everything for the money.” Mr T said. Expert N. T warns users if they lose money when trading on these exchanges, if they lose money, they are not protected by any party. ”A part of artists are aiding scams” Nearly a day after public opinion and crypto experts voiced the possibility of FXT Token’s fraud, Vietnamese artists who posted ads for this coin remained silent, with no statement to correct the incident. . “These days are crazy, people can teach each other things that are not their expertise. A part of the artist world is no longer aware of how dangerous their influence can be. to the people,” commented Mr. Phan Dung Khanh. Posts promoting cryptocurrencies by many famous people in Vietnam. Vietnamese artists should only do things related to entertainment, stay away from industries that are not well understood. “The fact that the official press channels warn of the possibility of fraud of dirty financial projects shows an attempt to clean up the national financial system. However, the artists defiantly ignored the scene. This is also an act of abetting fraud, disregarding the people and the law,” Quynh said.

At the end of October 2020, James and his wife decided to move to a new house to live. While packing, the couple was surprised to discover a hidden and forgotten “vault” in this very house. Accordingly, when he opened the wardrobe drawer to check, Mr. James was startled when inside there were many ancient coins made of gold and silver. Ancient silver and gold coins hidden in the closet When they took it out, they found a total of two boxes containing 64 ancient coins, including 46 $5 Liberty gold coins and 18 Morgan silver coins. These ancient coins are believed to date back to the 1800s, and are very valuable. “They look very old, but they look absolutely worth it,” Mr James said. Legally, the James and his wife bought the house and what they unearthed in the house will be legal property. However, he and his wife did not do so. Mr. James took pictures of these ancient coins and sent them to the former owner of the house to confirm and return to its owner. “I simply thought it wasn’t our property and I really don’t know the exact value of these coins. They could be family heirlooms, so I want the owner The true owner of this “treasure” received them,’ Mr. James confided. Then, the old owner of the house came to ask for this antique back. This person said that the coins could be worth up to $ 25,000 (about 572 million dong). The previous owner said that he kept these 2 boxes in a drawer a few months ago. When moving house, because he was in a hurry, he forgot 2 boxes and didn’t remember anything until Mr. James contacted him. He said he still keeps part of the coin collection in the safe.

This is also a reasonable option for those who love cats but are allergic to cat fur, or those who cannot afford to bring “roof” to raise. The “baby” cotton cats are made exactly like the real thing, no wonder why the “lotus” guilds asked for the address to buy. Do the “cats” above make you fall in love and want to bring them home immediately? But this is not easy, because currently Pico – a shop specializing in making plush toys in Japan, which makes backpacks, bags, and purses of plush cats, causing a stir in the online community, has just posted a notice to stop accepting them. orders in any form, including domestic or foreign orders. The reason is because Pico’s stuffed animals are loved by too many people, leading to overcrowding.

Posts by artists have the same content. Recently, the personal Facebook page of many famous Vietnamese artists posted articles with identical content, related to electronic money investment activities. These posts gradually create “fever”, attracting hundreds of thousands of interactions and shares. However, after only a few hours, the posts were simultaneously deleted without any official explanation from the artist. Before the move of some artists, there are many opinions that this is just a disguised media trick. Specifically, the crypto developer hires public influencers (KOLs) to post relevant content to add excitement to the community of crypto holders. On Vietnamese showbiz groups and forums, many accounts expressed frustration at the artists’ actions. It is said that, in essence, artists do not have deep knowledge of the virtual money market, they only use their influence to attract the attention of fans. Many people criticized.

According to experts, people need to consider carefully before planning to invest in cryptocurrencies. One of the most common risks is associated with “scam” projects. The first sign of these projects is a huge profit commitment, cover loss and fire-fighting. Normally, the project operates on a Ponzi scheme, paying the first to the next. Therefore, the higher the profit is, the faster the project will collapse. Besides, scam crypto projects are usually only listed on small or start-up exchanges. These projects often do not publicize or forge information about the development team, blockchain platform, roadmap and whitepaper.

Over time, gamers and computer users have suffered from a shortage of high-end graphics cards due to the need to buy GPUs from cryptocurrency operators. Now, a new cryptocurrency called Chia will most likely cause similar problems for the storage drive market. According to the South China Morning Post , hard drive prices in China have risen sharply as miners rushed to mine and sell this cryptocurrency. “The price of hard drives keeps going up” Unlike Bitcoin, which consumes a lot of electricity and energy to process complex algorithms, Chia is mined based on a consensus algorithm and is one of the currencies advertised as being environmentally friendly. A Bitcoin mining facility in China. Cryptocurrency Chia aims to reduce environmental impact. Photo: Bloomberg. The founder of Chia is Bram Cohen, who is also a BitTorrent developer. Cohen said he would usurp the outdated industry with increasingly slow and costly documentation capabilities. Although Chia has not been officially traded on the market and only came into operation on May 3, the “miners” have rushed to buy and stock up a series of HDDs and SSDs. According to SCMP, panic purchases can lead to hard drives shortages, high prices and scarcity. On China’s Taobao and JD.com e-commerce platforms, large enterprise hard drives have been sold out. “There have been a lot of people asking to buy a large number of hard drives to exploit Chia in the past few days,” said a customer care worker at the online store Taobao of two major brands Seagate and Western Digital said. Hard drives were sold out on Chinese e-commerce sites. Photo: Weibo. Most business-class hard drives with more than 8TB of storage have already been sold, not sure when new products will be available, the vendor says. According to the manmanbuy.com A Chinese website that evaluates and compares product prices on popular e-commerce platforms, the price of a Western Digital hard drive with 12 TB of storage in February before The increase was 2,188 yuan (about $ 337). On April 8, the corresponding drive price increased to 3,499 yuan ($ 538) on JD.com. Seagate’s hard drive with 8 TB of storage before April 14 cost 1,150 yuan, but has since risen to 2,160 yuan, according to manmanbuy.com . Cryptocurrency miners Chia in China buys bulk hard drives in bulk at the store. In Huaqiangbei, the world’s largest electronics market in southern China, Shenzhen, some vendors said that they now only have a hard drive with less than 4 TB of storage and they don’t know when This situation has just changed. This person also confirmed that the price of a 4 TB hard drive will be a bit higher than the 700 yuan she used to sell before, because the demand from customers is growing. “At peak times, the prices of hard drives will be at least 60% higher than normal. The prices have come down a bit recently, but for now they are still around 50% higher, ”said a supplier named Chen. The topic of hard drive scarcity has become a hot topic, attracting a lot of attention and discussion on Chinese social networking site Sina Weibo, with tags attached to articles such as “rising hard drive prices” and ” Hard drive prices doubled in 10 days. ” “That’s it all, first the graphics card craze, then you guys switch to the hard drive. Now I can only buy one computer case,” said one netizen. on Weibo. Chia’s further goal In recent years, the increasing popularity and demand for computation has increased the value of virtual currencies like Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency mining has become popular and familiar to many people with knowledge of technology and computers. Although the Chinese government does not recognize Bitcoin as a legal currency, the country does not completely ban Bitcoin mining. According to an article recently published in Nature in April, China accounts for about 70% of all Bitcoin mining activities worldwide. Bitcoin mining currently consumes a lot of energy, leading to concerns about overuse of coal-fired electricity. Photo: DW. The increase in electricity consumption related to cryptocurrency mining has also caught the attention of Chinese regulators, as the country is making efforts to save energy and reduce pollution. environment. The leader of Inner Mongolia, the major Bitcoin producing region in northern China due to cheap electricity prices, said they would close all Bitcoin mining pools by May. The global Bitcoin mining network consumes about 113.88 TWh of electricity per year. If ranked as a country, Bitcoin would be the 33rd electricity consumer in the world, out of total consumption by the Netherlands and the Philippines, according to Cambridge’s Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.

The importance of Chinese mining farms is evident in the accident at a coal mine in Xinjiang. This incident caused nearly a third of the world’s crypto mining network to be interrupted over the weekend. Bitcoin price has also plummeted since April 18 and there is no sign of recovery. The incident caused Bitcoin’s mining capacity to decline According to the Fortune A coal mine in Ho Do Bich district, Xinjiang was overflowed, trapping 21 workers inside on April 11. The workers were then rescued. A week later, the coal mine is still shut down to check the safety of workers, so it is not able to supply enough fuel for power plants in the region. The coal mine incident in Xinjiang left more than 20 workers trapped. Photo: AP. This causes Bitcoin mining farms, which consume huge amounts of electricity, to stop working. At the end of the following week, April 17-18, the capacity of the global Bitcoin network dramatically plummeted. Bitcoin’s difficulty to “mine”, calculated as the total algorithmic capacity (also known as hashrate) of the computers on the network, has dropped sharply from over 160 EH / s to around 130 EH / s. By the morning of April 23, this number was still around 133 EH / s. Before the incident, experts all considered China to play an important role in the Bitcoin mining network. However, the flood showed that almost all the miners in Xinjiang are located in Ho Do Bich district and surrounding areas, depending on the fuel source of the same coal mine. “This accident confirmed the predictions, possibly even confirming that the mining capital in Xinjiang is much smaller than previously thought. It shows China’s dominance in Bitcoin mining. , and concerns about security, “said Alex de Vries, an economist specializing in tracking the use of Bitcoin mining energy. Inner Mongolia, China, has banned Bitcoin mining since May to minimize the environmental impact. Photo: Getty. The incident also showed that the energy source for Bitcoin mining still mainly comes from coal. Not only in China, in many regions in the US such as New York state or Kentucky, mining farm owners also take advantage of old factories to get cheap electricity. This is Bitcoin’s danger to the environment. The bad side of Bitcoin “Carbon footprint”, the term for the amount of CO2 emitted when mining Bitcoin is about to exceed the emissions of the whole country of Australia and greater than the technology giants like Facebook, Google or Microsoft combined. The negative impact on the environment is the ugly face of Bitcoin. In addition to Xinjiang, Bitcoin is also banned from mining in Inner Mongolia, China from May to here because of environmental impact. It is also the region that contributes about 4% of the world’s Bitcoin mining capacity. Of course, there are Bitcoin farms that use renewable energy as well. However, this power source is considered to be unstable, difficult to ensure that it runs 24/7. “Miners often do not like renewable energy because they are difficult to guarantee to run 24 hours a day. Green energy is not suitable for Bitcoin,” said de Vries. Much of Bitcoin is mined on farms in China. Photo: Bloomberg. In the Bitcoin mining game, miners need to take full advantage, because only those who complete the first series of computations will be rewarded with Bitcoin. The number of miners joining the network more and more, so the reward received Bitcoin is less and less. Miners therefore need the machine to run continuously. Mr. de Vries said that about 70% of Bitcoin created using fossil energy, of which the majority is coal. Bitcoin’s price increase almost 6 times in the past 7 months has caused more and more miners to enter the game. The total amount of electricity that the Bitcoin mining network uses is about 2% of the US, and 10% of Russia’s electricity. The numbers all point to Bitcoin’s environmental impact. However, this ugly truth seems to have been ignored by celebrities like Elon Musk in praising Bitcoin.

New cryptocurrency – Chia coin, also known as “Green Bitcoin”, was created by Bram Cohen, who is famous for his peer-to-peer BitTorrent protocol. Hard drive fever from Chia The popularity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin has led to a shortage of graphics cards when miners buy them in bulk. Now, Split coin – a new cryptocurrency set to create another component shortage, this time hard drives and SSDs will become hard to find. The increase in GPU supply will occur this quarter, said Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress, a multinational corporation for graphics processor development. So with any luck, the products might be a bit easier to buy in the coming weeks and months. “ The problem faced by the market was crypto miners who bought GPUs. In response, Nvidia released a line of dedicated mining graphics cards called CMP, which professional cryptocurrency miners are starting to buy. ”Kress said. The new cryptocurrency – Chia coin, also known as “Green Bitcoin”, was created by Bram Cohen, who is famous for his peer-to-peer BitTorrent protocol development. According to the report, Chia used Bitcoin’s “proof of work” model instead of Bitcoin’s “proof of work” model. That difference means Chia is dependent on storage capacity rather than processing efficiency to mine, and a lot less electricity is wasted in the process. While Chia hasn’t been traded yet, it looks like potential miners in China are gearing up by buying as many hard drives and SSDs as possible, all drives from 4TB to 18TB in high demand. Prices are expected to rise and shortages are likely to be seen unless manufacturers react quickly enough to keep up. On China’s Taobao and JD.com e-commerce platforms, many large-capacity enterprise-class hard drives have been sold out. According to Jiahe Jinwei, one of the major domestic manufacturers in China, the Gloway and Asgard’s 1TB and 2TB high-performance NVMe M.2 SSDs have both been sold out. The manufacturer plans to put in place restrictions to prevent miners from buying large amounts of consumer SSDs. After that, the company will also increase production to meet demand. “ Farming on consumer SSDs is feasible, but more serious miners will likely be geared toward the business side. Durability is just as important as capacity and performance, and enterprise or data center SSDs often meet these three criteria. ”, Said Jiahe Jinwei. Back in 2018, Chia raised $ 3.395 million in “seed” funding, which demonstrated a great degree of interest in this new cryptocurrency. For the most part, that interest could be from investors expecting them to see the potential early and invest a lot when it first arrives. Along with that, many cryptocurrencies appeared and collapsed, so the formation and development of Chia also caused curiosity among the crypto participants. A few years ago, no one took Bitcoin seriously and today it has reached a value of over $ 65,000 / BTC. Cryptocurrency mining itself is the process by which a machine performs certain tasks, calculations validating transactions on the platform, and enhanced security, in order to obtain an amount of cryptocurrency. As a reward to miners for using their hardware to service network transactions, they charge transaction fees for the transactions they confirm. Although Chinese law does not recognize Bitcoin as a legal currency, the country does not completely ban Bitcoin mining. Even this billion-population country accounts for about 70% of bitcoin blockchain operations worldwide. The surge in electricity consumption related to cryptocurrency mining has also attracted the attention of Chinese regulators, amid the country’s efforts to save energy and reduce pollution. Inner Mongolia is a major bitcoin producer in northern China due to cheap electricity prices, saying it will close all bitcoin mining sites before May this year. Is there an abnormality? In addition to the hard drive craze, computer storage space has become a hot commodity lately, with protocols like Filecoin and Filebase rolling out to take advantage of unused storage. It seems that Chia is not without its drawbacks as some have tested and criticized its energy efficiency and pointed out that the rewards take 5 months to come true. Dividing into storage space rather than processing efficiency to mine and known as “green Bitcoin” is creating a hard drive race in Southeast Asia. Blockchain critic David Gerard warns that the reported shortage could have a direct impact on the cryptocurrency market and other industries. However, the project is going on an unusual path. Split no limit, prioritize constant inflation, is predictable as an alternative and the company has a cache of 21 million Pre-mined Chia. And while “spatial proof” is meant to strengthen decentralization, it’s a goal that Chia will not track for itself, rather, it will be made public. Besides that, a roster will allow proponents to treat Chia’s equity as a Chia coin ETF, using the 21 million Chia coin as the primary asset. Talking to the Business Forum, Mr. Dinh Hong Son, General Director of the new generation Finance Joint Stock Company, said that Chia is a digital currency that has appeared since 2018 but has not created a fever like today. The fever that the market is feeling is not the currency, but the market for the hard drives. In fact, large corporations in the world like Intel still do not show signs of “flinching” for shortages, maybe this is just one of the waveforms to push Chia’s appeal against the blur. its pale. “ This is also easy to cause local reactions, as many manufacturers tend to want to take short cuts by increasing production. While in the field of electronics, electronic components require many supporting details that must be processed in large quantities to ensure production as well as reasonable prices. Therefore, it is not known how sustainable or how long-term Chia is to be, but focusing on large-scale production can pose a risk to manufacturers. Hopefully, any impact on consumption patterns will be short-lived “, Mr. Son said. Currently, Chia has not appeared in Vietnam, but it is also necessary to observe and monitor this coin to avoid following the trend like the past Pi mining phenomenon. In particular, electronic component manufacturers or merchants avoid the “hugging” too large for hard drives or products with storage capacity, and at the same time push the prices of goods higher than their value. real.

A treasure discovery site with lots of gold bars and gold coins is located inside an old house in the town of Morez in the Jurassic region, eastern France. According to experts, all of the old metal belonged to a wealthy merchant family in the area at that time. However, the last life of the family had no children. Mayor Laurent Petit said the three-storey building in the center of town was home to four brothers and sisters without children. The last one passed away at the age of 90 last year. Then, the property’s legal heir did not use the house and sold it to the city hall for more than $ 156,000. The old house has been abandoned for a long time on a land called Maison Jobez by the locals. Recently, the town hall staff conducted a house cleaning to prepare for the city renewal campaign when they discovered the treasure full of gold. They discovered gold in two separate waves. Specifically, for the first time, employees found 5 boxes of gold bars and coins worth more than $ 600,000 on the back of a dusty shelf. A second time, when opening a locked safe in the closet, the staff found gold coins worth about $ 180,000. Mayor Laurent Petit said: “The local government was extremely confused and surprised to find so many gold bars and gold coins. None of us had ever held a gold bar. We just saw it in the pictures and thought that the gold bar must be very large, but here each one weighs only about 1 kg, the size of a cigarette pack “. The town hall intends to use the gold in this surprise treasure to reinvest back into the development of the area. Mayor Laurent Petit shared that the original home seller knew inside the three-story house contained treasure but believed it was gone. Mayor Laurent Petit said: “In the house is full of furniture and there have been several generations living without throwing anything away.”

She did not forget to reassure her son that she should do her best, but if she does not pass, it does not matter, because it will become a reality in the future. Trizzie Phuong Trinh said, 4 years ago, she also took her son to take an exam in an art training school and could not control the joy of finding and finding her name on the admission list. At that moment, she screamed and jumped as if she were the one to park. This time, when she knew the result, she stopped screaming and dancing, but tears kept falling silently because she was so happy and proud. With the initial achievements that her son achieved, Trizzie Phuong Trinh did not forget to remind her that being admitted to school does not mean success because Beckam will still have to work hard. However, she hopes with her child’s passion and knowledge that Beckam will learn at the upcoming music school will help him come closer to his dream. The singer expressed emotion, Beckam is a good son and always makes her feel proud, so she coin that the boy will do what she wants. The three children of Bang Kieu and Trizzie Phuong Trinh For his part, Bang Kieu is living in Vietnam at this time doing some work and his own music projects, so the male singer said he was not at home to welcome the good news with his son. However, former member of the band Fruit Watermelon shared, he is very happy and proud of his oldest son because Beckam is very stable to become a true artist in the future. The male singer did not forget to thank his ex-wife and humorously called her “friend”. Before that, when revealing the eldest son, Bang Kieu humorously showed off, Beckam was better than himself because the height alone, the boy was 1m70 tall, far beyond his father’s modest height. Unlike his youthful and humorous dad, Beckam has a calm, mature appearance and is also less talkative. Bang Kieu shared that Beckam’s gentleness, somewhat shyness and self-esteem made him and his wife sometimes worried that the boy would be bullied when he was out in life. That is why both he and Trizzie Phuong Trinh encouraged Beckam to boldly perform on professional stages with his parents. Many people commented on his very talented individual account, Beckam actually inherited from Bang Kieu because his father is also a multi-talented artist, not only singing well but also playing the guitar, composing songs extremely fast and acting is very professional in both acting and acting. However, because he is quieter than his father, for Beckam, the guitar is like his greatest friend, helping him release all stress and bring a new source of positive energy to himself. According to Bang Kieu, in addition to music, Beckam is also as hardworking in sports as his father, especially martial arts. Currently, Bang Kieu’s oldest son also has his own Youtube channel to post new and interesting videos showing his passion and artistic talent. Particularly two of Beckam’s younger brothers, Conlin and Kenzi, have not shown any interest in music at this point. However, Conlin and Kenzi often followed their mother to cheer for his brother when Beckam performed.

The ECB strives to create a digital currency, complementary to paper money and coins. (Source: fxempire)

Use area people European’s common currency (Eurozone) expect the digital euro proposed by the European Central Bank (ECB) to be private, secure and cheap. This is the result of the survey published by ECB on April 14.

The ECB is currently working to create a digital currency, complementary to banknotes and coins, to prevent competition from digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Tether and Facebook’s Diem.

According to an ECB poll, individuals and professionals prioritize privacy at checkout – a key feature of cash that some fear will be lost when switching to a means of payment. electronic.

Specifically, according to respondents, the digital euro’s most important criteria are privacy (43%), security (18%), usability across the eurozone (11). %), no additional charges (9%) and offline use (8%).

The ECB survey also found that 50% of respondents support limiting the amount of digital euro that each citizen can own.

About 67% of respondents think that cryptocurrencies should be provided by private sector intermediaries and integrated in the current payment system.

25% of the participants wanted the digital euro to be provided as a smart card or a phone app for offline use.

Currently, the design of the digital euro is only in the early stages, so it will take at least another 4-5 years to apply this new means of payment. Many other central banks around the world are also working on similar projects./.

Attractive virtual money market

After many sessions close to the old peak, Bitcoin has penetrated the threshold of 62,000 USD and then 63,000 USD / Bitcoin on the evening of April 13. Currently, Bitcoin price is fluctuating around 63,500 USD / Bitcoin, sometimes close to 64,000 USD / Bitcoin. Thus, in the past 1 year, the price of Bitcoin has increased about 9 times, a level of return far exceeding all traditional investment channels such as stocks or gold.

As Wall Street becomes more and more open to cryptocurrencies, Coinbase’s direct listing is attracting great investor interest, according to financial experts. Especially on April 14, Coinbase officially became a public company on the Nasdaq. This is the first major crypto company to list, considered a major turning point for the digital market as well as a test of the level of investor interest in startups. (startup) differs in this area.

Not only Bitcoin, but also many cryptocurrencies issued by exchanges also increased in price ahead of the Coinbase listing. Typically, Binance Coin increased 23% in the first day of the week; Houbi Token and KuCoin Token both went up.

Before the excitement of virtual money, the virtual money market, also known as electronic money in Vietnam, became active again when investors realized that this currency had promising potential. As can be seen, the appearance of Pi, a new cryptocurrency and other virtual currency units in early 2021 has attracted a large number of new investors to join.

In Vietnam, virtual money in general and currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin … in particular are still not recognized and are not legal means of payment. The issuance, supply and use of virtual currency are prohibited acts and will be sanctioned according to the Government’s Decree No. 96/2014 / ND-CP on sanctioning of administrative violations in the monetary and banking sector. Criminal Code 2015 (amended and supplemented). Previously, the State Bank of Vietnam had warned many times that investing in virtual money caused great risks to investors.

Unpredictable risks

According to market research Statista, Vietnam has the 2nd highest cryptocurrency usage rate in the world, after Nigeria. With millions of dollars traded every month, crypto exchanges are a good prey for cybercriminals.

The technology security companies said that fraudulent acts on electronic transactions are very diverse and sophisticated, such as collecting information from developers and investors; attack with malware, phishing, malicious code, fake notification, navigate to fake website, DDoS … and steal electronic wallet security key.

The famous criminal group in the world that focuses on cryptocurrencies today, such as Lazarus, BlueNoroff (a member of the Lazarus family that specializes in attacking the financial sector) is also said to be carrying out related attacks. to cryptocurrencies in Southeast Asia under the name SnatchCrypto.

The vibrant virtual money market attracts many Vietnamese investors to rejoin (illustrations).

Not only that, the risk of losing money also comes from virtual currency exchanges and can be collapsed at any time. Commenting on this type of investment, Lawyer Pham Duy Khuong, CEO of ASL Law Firm, said that although he is always warned about potential risks, what makes virtual money still attractive to investors. it is too big a profit. But the downside of the coin’s development has actually created a series of risks of “junk” virtual money investment channels appearing more and more.

Worryingly, virtual money “trash” tends to increase sharply and is “sucking blood” of investors. Specifically, with an attractive offer of great profits from virtual currency exchanges, investors massively poured money into “junk” virtual currency floors and then after a short time, the floor suddenly collapsed, when Then new investors fall back to be deceived. More sophisticated, when many cryptocurrency exchanges have “lured” investors to buy real virtual money, then use these virtual currencies to buy back virtual money “trash” “In order to make high profits and then the investors lose all their investment money.

However, according to the experts, it is very difficult to sanction fraud on these type of exchange owners. Because, if investors contribute with real money to the property, it can also be sanctioned, but if you contribute virtual money – a currency that is not an asset or a means of payment, there is no legal status, so it is not. there are grounds for punishment

Chris Connell, Managing Director of Kaspersky Asia Pacific said: “The development of cryptocurrencies is an integral part of digital transformation in the region and in Vietnam. Therefore, we encourage individuals accessing these financial technologies to have a basic knowledge of security measures to keep their cryptocurrencies safe.

Specifically, before investing, learn about cryptocurrency exchanges. These platforms provide the means for buying and selling virtual currency units as there are more than 500 exchanges. Do research, read feedback and talk to experienced investors before going any further.

After buying cryptocurrencies, investors need to know how to choose a digital wallet to keep. Because there are different types of wallets, each has different benefits, technical requirements and security. Therefore, players should research hosting options before investing.

However, according to the warning of financial expert – securities Phan Dung Khanh, Investment Advisory Director of Maybank Kim Eng Securities, do not put all your capital in Bitcoin just because it is the only name you know. There are thousands of options and it’s best to divide your investments by a few different units of money. Even so, cryptocurrencies are a volatile market, so if their investment ability or mental health cannot withstand the volatility, cryptocurrencies may not be a wise investment.

In particular, always uphold security when trading virtual money. Ideally, home trading is safer than using a public network, but you need proper security. For starters, it’s a good idea to change your router’s default password because the root password is usually the same for all routers of the same model, making your Wi-fi vulnerable to attack. In any case, it is best to do all electronic transactions over an encrypted VPN channel, which will add an extra layer of security.
