Illustrative image – Photo: Reuters. Ethereum is “occupying waves” in the virtual money market because of its rapid growth. In the past 1 week, the second largest virtual currency in the world has increased by nearly 20%, surpassing USD 4,000 for the first time in the session on May 10. If counted in the past 1 month, Ethereum price has nearly doubled. At nearly 8:00 am on May 11 in Vietnam time, the Ethereum price according to the data on Coinmarketcap.com was $ 3,933, far exceeding the level of $ 176 a year ago. Another virtual currency that has also seen a dramatic rise recently is Dogecoin. However, there is a big difference in the uptrend of Dogecoin and Ethereum that CNBC pointed out. That is, Dogecoin price is pushed up mainly by the status lines (tweets) on the social network Twitter and the “inundation” of the crowd of individual investors on the Reddit forum. Meanwhile, Ethereum has the backing of institutional investors and is heavily chosen for multi-million USD NFT transactions. Ethereum is built on blockchain technology like Bitcoin, but Ethereum’s proponents do not view the virtual currency as a form of “digital gold” – a name attributed to Bitcoin. Instead, many investors, including billionaire Mark Cuban, consider Ethereum to be more applicable. One use of Ethereum is as infrastructure for the decentralized Internet, and people can develop applications on the Ethereum network. With a market cap of nearly $ 482 billion on May 10, Ethereum is now larger than the total capitalization of beverage company Coca-Cola, social network Snap, and Ford Motor, combined. In the world of virtual money, Ethereum is second only to Bitcoin – the virtual currency with a market cap of $ 1.1 trillion. If you bought Ethereum earlier this year, you can now pocket a pretty good return. Ethereum virtual currency price movements in the past 1 year. Unit: USD / Ethereum – Source: Trading View. According to CNBC estimates, with $ 1,000 buying Ethereum on Jan. 1 at $ 731, investors had the equivalent of $ 5,711 on May 10 when Ethereum’s price peaked at $ 4,174. The return on this investment is 471%. This rate of return is higher than the return on Bitcoin investment. If you spend $ 1,000 to buy Bitcoin at the beginning of the year, the investor currently has $ 1,948, equivalent to a near 95% return. However, this does not mean that Ethereum will certainly continue to bring big profits for its investors in the future. Experts always recommend that investors should not pour into virtual money an amount greater than the amount of damage they can accept.

Tam said that the first time she learned about this onion was in 2017. At that time, when her child had a cough that could not go away, she was given a few slices of onion to go home to pound it and then steam it with alum sugar. I drink. Doing a few times is effective, my child does not cough. After that, she learned more about the use of onions such as “miracle” to cure many of these diseases, in addition to being used to cook dishes like normal onions. From then until now, every year during the popular season, she takes advantage of buying and storing for use gradually. For instant meals, she put them outside or in the refrigerator cooler, and the next part is put in the freezer compartment. According to her experience, to freeze the taste will be reduced, but when someone has a cold, whooping cough, … taking it out is also convenient. Onion – a specialty of Nghe origin on this occasion is selling for quite a cheap price in Hanoi However, every time she has to buy onions at quite expensive prices, some years up to 150,000 VND / kg, some years nearly 200,000 VND. This year, the price is super cheap, so Ms Tam enlisted to buy more than in previous years, she said. On the women’s forums, people are also whispering to buy these specialties from Nghe to accumulate and use gradually, to take advantage of when they are cheap. Recognized in the market, Nghe An onion has many different prices, ranging from 30,000-50,000 VND / kg depending on the type, even the selection is 100,000 VND / kg. However, according to the traders of this item in Hanoi, compared with last year, the price decreased by only half. Ms. Dinh Thu Hang, the head of selling Nghe An onions in Hai Ba Trung (Hanoi), acknowledged that not only was cheap, but on this occasion, onions also poured into Hanoi and attracted more customers. “I’ve been selling this kind of onions for a few years now. Every season, you will import goods to sell. Years ago, the price was expensive so people ordered only 2-3 kg / time, very few people bought up to 5kg. This batch is cheap, the number of customers buying is also more “, she said. According to Ms. Hang, the season of toothpickness does not last long, but in return the housewives love it, especially mothers, because this kind of onion has many good health benefits. Therefore, every day she sells about 60-80kg of onion. There are days when she sells more than 1 quintal. Mr. Phung Ngoc Huy – a dealer selling Central specialties in Hoang Van Thai (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) – also revealed: “Starting in season, the price of onions is high, people buy less. Each day then only sold about 20-30kg. Now, onions are cheap, onions are at the end of the season, people have high demand for storage, so sales volume increases 4-5 times ”. In Nghe An, onions fell dramatically, there were still no buyers According to Huy, this year, Nghe An is cheap in part due to the good season and the output of pumpkins, so the selling price in the field is very cheap, leading to a sharp drop in the price in Hanoi on this occasion. In fact, until mid-March – the main time of the harvest, at a toothpick shop in Nghi Loc (Nghe An) – people have to face with a catastrophic, sluggish onion price drop. “Seeing that the scallions are continuously in good season, last season, my family planted 1 sao of onion, a total of 5 sao. Sometimes, the price of onion peaks at 50,000-60,000 VND / kg, this year from the beginning of the season only 20,000 VND / kg, now it drops to 13,000 VND / kg, no one buys ”, Mr. Nguyen Sy Cuong – a household planting scallions in Nghi Lam commune (Nghi Loc) shared on Cong Thuong newspaper. After nearly ten years of growing onions, he found that in the first year, the prices of onions fell so badly. “A few years ago, people bought a lot, but this year, traders in the province and in the South refused because onions in them are also down in price and difficult to consume. If onions are left unsold for a long time, it will easily perish,” said Tran Thi Thu, an onion-growing householder in Nghi Lam commune, lamented. The traders explained that, in the main season, the season for sale, termites in the provinces stopped buying, so they did not dare to “eat goods”, leading to a plunge in prices. Information from Nghi Lam commune shows that the whole commune has about 1,500 households growing onions, with an area of ​​nearly 103ha. One sao of onions can reach 5-6 quintals. If the price is stable from 30,000 to 35,000 VND / kg, growing onions will bring 3-4 times higher income than growing rice and maize. However, this year it has “good season, devaluation”. Accordingly, the price of onion drops is only 13,000 VND / kg. At this price, people will inevitably suffer losses. Not to mention, although the price of onions is low, there are no traders to buy, the amount of backlog is hundreds of tons.

In recent days, households living in hamlet 3, Bau Phuong village, Chau Pha commune (Phu My town, Ba Ria – Vung Tau province) expressed frustration at the Song Ca stream flowing through the area by an enterprise. On the side of Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company (referred to as Chau Duc Sonadezi Company, the address of Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district) blatantly dumped the ground level, encroached upon and manipulated the stream flow, leading to the fact that people do not have water for irrigation, the risk of flooding when the rainy season comes.

People are frustrated by the Song Ca stream being filled with soil, occupied

This is a stream located adjacent to two communes: Suoi Nghe, Chau Duc and Chau Pha districts, Phu My town. There are signs of serious encroachment, if there is no timely preventive measures, it will be in danger of “disappearing”.

According to local people, for more than a week, they discovered that many convoys of the enterprise of Sonadezi Chau Duc company carried soil for leveling, then blatantly poured into Song Ca stream, causing the stream bed to be confiscated. narrow, blocked flow.

Mr. Ly Tau Dung (residing in group 3, Bau Phuong village) said that Song Ca stream is a natural stream with a long history, tens of meters wide and stretches from the foot of Da Den lake to Ba Ria city. year is used for flood drainage, at the same time serving irrigation and people’s daily life. However, recently, a business suddenly stopped the flow of land and encroached upon it.

However, the current state of the stream is being leveled and encroached on seriously, afraid that next time there will be no more water to irrigate. Therefore, we earnestly hope that the local government will soon step in to prevent encroachment ”. Mr. Dung shared.

Enterprises pour land straight into the stream, causing the stream bed to narrow

Like Mr. Dung’s family, there are 9 households that share their frustration and face the situation of lack of water for irrigation because the stream is being “killed”, flooded when the rainy season comes. Meanwhile, the households all use water from the stream for irrigation and living.

According to PV’s record on April 13, the area of ​​Song Ca stream corridor was completely encroached upon, soil and rock were poured straight into the stream, causing some points to be blocked, the current status stretches more than 2km along. along the stream.

Worth mentioning, through observation, in addition to stream leveling, this enterprise is currently placing a pipeline system from the direction of Sonadezi Chau Duc industrial park to the Song Ca stream (suspected waste pipe).

Before the people reflected, the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune sent staff to the scene to record the reality. After that, the People’s Committee of the commune issued a written report, requesting the People’s Committee of Phu My town to send a written petition to the People’s Committee of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province and functional departments to quickly coordinate in inspection and settlement.

According to the petition of the People’s Committee of Chau Pha commune, the time when the functional team checked and recorded the land filling and leveling area was in Suoi Nghe commune, Chau Duc district. The current situation of land overflowing into the stream, preventing the flow of about 1/3 of the stream, the land falling is 5–7m higher than the stream site, no embankment, more than 3km in length (paired with the stream bank).

Authorities determined that the filling of stream land was carried out by Chau Duc Sonadezi Urban Joint Stock Company. Through the comparison of maps, cadastral records, the Song Ca stream is 18-21m wide, in fact this company has dumped soil, leveled up 1/2 of the stream’s width.

Therefore, the leveling, encroaching, preventing flow leads to the risk of water shortage for irrigation for households. Moreover, the filling of soil, encroachment on stream land, not building embankments when the rainy season comes, the soil will landslide, blocking the entire stream, causing inundation in the rainy season.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Hiep, Chairman of Chau Pha Commune People’s Committee, said that after checking the status of Song Ca stream was encroached upon, seeing that the case was beyond its authority to resolve, the CPC had to report in writing and request the Town People’s Committee. coordinate with the provincial functional branches in handling and timely settlement.

It is known that earlier in the inspection of the current state of the stream, the Chau Pha commune authorities invited the Sonadezi Chau Duc company to work, but this enterprise did not coordinate.
