Lots of news outlets such as the Financial Times, have often dabbed around the legitimacy of Bitcoin. Also few financial analyst also argued against the crypto. However with confidence, I can say that Bitcoin isn't a pyramid scheme. Bitcoin utilizes a new technology that is able to be based against a standard such as MD5 hashes in order to speed up the transaction process between sites or point of sale systems. The price can also be stabilized through mining or market demand. Bitcoin, just like all other cryptocurrencies, is a commodity. It involves utilizing computational mathematics and have some sort of standard by its script of proof algorithm.

Also cryptocurrencies may even be more financial stable then actual fiat currencies if it became more widely accepted. The reason being is that the risk of inflation and hyperinflation can be less unstable due to mining and computational power. Also even though investing in a crypto can be risky, the returns can be astronomical if you invest in the write one. I myself develop applications in the Blockchain, and the logistics, hard work, and hurdles one must endure to support this technology isn't child's play. Bitcoin just like everything else is a commodity with a perceived market value based on the demand it created on how it processes transactions.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
