'Landmine' vis a vis Goldmine

The Tang Dynasty, incorporated Coins Paper, & Metals, a couple of thousand years past ish. Then the Lydians became the first in the western world to make coins for a means of exchange for goods and services. Countries were soon minting their own coins with specific values.
As soon to be minting their own national digital asset

The Tehran News agency has reported that Iran intends to launch a gold-backed cryptocurrency. This comes less than a week after President Trump slammed virtual currencies on Twitter amid tensions between the historic foes. The New agency reported the development on its English website.
Accordingly, the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has approved the issuance of new cryptocurrencies. This is according to the CEO of Iranian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) FANAP, Shahab Javanmardi.
Shahab described the measure as follows:
“IRAN’S CRYPTOCURRENCY WILL BE SUPPORTED BY GOLD, BUT ITS FUNCTION IS SIMILAR TO OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCIES. THE CRYPTO ASSET IS DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF IRANIAN FROZEN BANK ASSETS.”

Is it a time for a change?. Digital Assets, the 21st century!

Bitcoin...
Bitcoin first released as open-source software in 2009, and is generally considered the first decentralised cryptocurrency. Since the release of bitcoin, over 4,000 altcoins (alternative variants of bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies have emerged. 10 years on now & roughly the estimated market capitalisation of crypto currencies combined – stands in the region of around $135.7 billion. Globally monetary value of the internet is in the region of $trillion, and based on one trillion being one million times one billion.

A girl asked her bitcoin-investing parents for 1 bitcoin for her birthday
Mum says: What? £10026, no wait £7,740 is still a lot of money! So what do you need £7,960 for anyway

These numbers roughly being something which occurred more recently between 26 June to July 25th At this time BTC =£7,920. 12 hours later still on a slide @ £7,717 it’s a bit of a lottery. As BTC peaked @ 10k and one week later fallen back 2k. albeit within 25hrs the negative slide appears to be slowing. Clearly bitcoin cannot be viewed as a solid investment and

to quote U.S. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin ‘who warned that bitcoin will not be widely used in ten years time, while the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is cracking down on cryptocurrency holders it thinks haven't paid their taxes.’
"I can assure you I will personally not be loaded up on bitcoin in 10 years," Mnuchin, who earlier this month branded bitcoin and cryptocurrencies a "national security issue," told CNBC this week.

‘After two decades online, I'm perplexed. It's not that I haven't had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I've met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I'm uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.

Consider today's online world. The Usenet, a worldwide bulletin board, allows anyone to post messages across the nation. Your word gets out, leapfrogging editors and publishers. Every voice can be heard cheaply and instantly Result every voice being heard. This cacophony more closely resembles citizens band radio, complete with handles, harassment, and anonymous threats. When most everyone shouts, few listen. How about electronic publishing? Try reading a book on disc. At best, it's an unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a clunky computer replaces the friendly pages of a book.

or BitCoin, Etherium, LiteCoin, bitcoin cash and others...Plus I’ve earned some XLM, BAT, EOS and some others for completing lessons, totalling roughly in £40 GBP. With some satoshi on hand if you join other platforms like kraken and binance you can then transfer satoshi and purchase other assets to familiarise yourself with the workings of crypto currencies. Albeit even after a year of being a customer CoinBase there many features I’ve yet to test out. Finally much of what I’ve seen is far from Satoshi Nakamoto vision of taking your money out of the hands of Banks & Governments albeit it’s early on in the wider scheme of all things 21st century. Sadly, I along with the nay slayers and the quoted persons I’ve used for my justifications all regretfully and likely be dust as the new ways to transact take centre stage (unless of course they are genetically digitally enhanced elite homo saps) This along with the internet of all things and Artificial intelligence will become our everyday experiences

Away from the ‘landmine versus goldmine blog’ 66 days and following the price resurgence of BTC having since been slowly going South, with BTC as of now, hovering around 6.5k ish. Had I been watching rigorously and the proud owner of a satoshi stash, speculatively speaking a serious profit could have been had over these months and am in no doubt many have just had that. Buy the dip I now hear and frequently seeing this statement on the net. Albeit, as an investment and to make short term quick gains, I mean serious profit you need to be cash rich focused and have time on your hands; for example if 1 BTC increased by 5k and you had 100 in your wallet (an increase which roughly occurred over past months) you would most would want to have an exit strategy for the additional 500k. But it’s not that straight forward, focus and continual learning and keeping up to date with BTC events is a key to any successes. A more sublime approach is to follow my referral link to coinbase purchase bits of bit coin satoshis. This strategy is aimed at learning more about digital assets while investing small Say for example BTC is currently £6556.56 then 1% ish is £65.56 so 200,000,000 satoshi/100=2,000,000 therefore £6556.56/200,000,000=0.0000327827 *2 mill satoshi = to 1 BTC...multiply the number in bold (satoshi) by 2 million as of time of writing £65.56 will get you roughly 2 million satoshi; if over time say 12 months satoshi surges 100% £6,556.Looking at the numbers and my prior assertion if a satoshi equals a penny then 1 BTC will b worth £1,000,000 the point lol no pun being it’s a different number game with loads of potential for movement it’s the 21st century

Following a 2 year period of rest away from my landmine v goldmine blog and as with the recent surge in the crypto universe BTCoin leading the charge rising above the 30,000 GBP mark. Harking back 2 years past when I put my money alongside my assertions that bitcoin would not disappear and continue to grow in popularity and value.
Currently the £100 spent on BTC minus and CoinBase commission £6 ish the value of the asset has grown to roughly £384 albeit falling from £500 at its peak 2 weeks earlier; BTC falls back to the £23k mark as of now.
And while the current naysayer’s rhetoric hasn’t changed much in 2 years, market acceptance has, as more recently PayPal has embraced the currency highlighting that institutions are beginning to perceive Bitcoin as a store of value.
My belief that COinbase was a good starting at that time for any budding cryptonian and still believe so. Coinbase continuing over time enhancing usability, friendliness, safety & security . The GBP wallet being a good addition and with many more features; opportunities to watch vids and earn altcoins [https://www.coinbase.com/join/vincen_q5]learn and Earn[/url]
As a very rough guide (aotow) £10 is worth about 42,126 Satoshi noting 100million sats is = to one BTC. Of late while revisiting coinbase I purchased at the going rate £10 worth of sats through Coinbase
If it increased in value by X 50
Along with many serious investors believing Bitcoin will surge in the years to come.

Whatever your perspective, and whether you agree or disagree with my vision, business as normal will not occur, mechanical
Artificial Intelligence most defo trends of past decades kaput! leaving little connection to future events. Bitcoin will continue to be a force moving forward, being the first ‘off the block’ likely, rightly ending as the gold standard of crypto currencies.
The next decade if you’re adverse to change now being lost cause, as with change it will
One example being the financial burden to countries maintaining the fiat money circulation is vast, contactless, hands free payment systems offer many advantages albeit possibly being a threat to future freedom and civil liberties.
Change it will

There are risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies. Investing in cryptocurrencies involves risk
Catching up on my crypto universe and with BTC having increased + 8 times in two years ish and coupled with the benefit of hindsight and with the absence of the necessary financial (2018) BTcoin @ 4K missing a potential payout of £ 36000 profit Little point ‘kicking over the coals’ The two £100 stakes placed back in May 2018 increasing by 600 apiece ish as of now! The £30 spent via coinbase on satoshis in February rising roughly by 25% & returning £7.50 ish. Possibly by the year’s end £750 apiece £2250 k if u believe what u read
Getting back to my recommended platforms CoinBase Kraken and Binance. Recently having some fun on Binance and using my visa card to buy £13 USDT crypto currency. Being a necessary prerequisite, allowing me to buy the Harmony one token, an asset linked to the sporting and gaming industry. While it took a bit of sussing out I purchased @ 0.00782 harmony one and now showing 0.1207 small steps  bought some Chiliz (CHZ) + 1600 bit torrent @ 0.001369 for 22 USTD now showing 0.00237p all this and my Tron portfolio worth £26.54 from £12 invested two years past ish. In all small steps bringing a small profits and without the stress factor there rests my case ; Crypto’s Coinbase,Binance,Kraken its fun and whilst honing ur ninja status,
A Digital real all-time gaming...ADRAG shortened to
