Are We Ready For Elon Musk’s Neuralink Future?
Are We Ready For Elon Musk’s Neuralink Future? 2021 Update. Imagine a world where blindness and deafness can be reversed. Or never forgetting a name, face, or date. Being able to augment the brainpower we’re born with to offload memories and correct human maladies. That’s what Elon Musk and the team at Neuralink are setting out to do, but is it the future of humanity or just a dream? Let’s take a closer look at Neuralink and Brain-computer interface (BCI).
Micro Hydropower : Turbulent Turbines
Hydropower has been with us for millennia, but the 20th Century race to build huge centralised hydropower dams in many parts of the world has caused untold environmental damage. Now a new micro-hydropower technology is working with the natural flow of water and wildlife rather than against it, to bring much needed constant baseload power to off grid areas in remote areas of developing nations.
Why Central Banks Want To Get Into Digital Currencies
Intense interest in cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, and the Covid-19 pandemic have sparked debate among central banks on whether they should issue digital currencies of their own. Advocates argue that central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, can make cross-border transactions easier, promote financial inclusion, and provide payment system stability. Here’s how central bank digital currencies could become the future of digital finance.
Intense interest in cryptocurrencies and the Covid-19 pandemic have sparked debate among central banks on whether they should issue digital currencies of their own.
China has been in the lead in developing its own digital currency. It’s been working on the initiative since 2014. Chinese central bank officials have already conducted massive trials in major cities including Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou.
“China’s experiment is very large scale,” said J. Christopher Giancarlo, former chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. “When the world arrives in Beijing next winter for the Winter Olympics, they are going to be using the new digital renminbi to shop and to stay in hotels and to buy meals in restaurants. The world is going to see a functioning [central bank digital currency] very soon, within the coming year.”
The U.S. is playing catch-up. In late February 2021, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the U.S. will engage with the public on the digital dollar this year.
Advocates contend central bank digital currencies can make cross-border transactions easier, promote financial inclusion and provide payment system stability. There are also privacy and surveillance risks with government-issued digital currencies. And in times of economic uncertainty, people may be more likely to pull their funds from commercial banks, accelerating a bank run.
Commerce Decentralisation
Pluralism and decentralization have started to break down a centralised view of everything, including commerce.
The Tesla Mafia: How Elon Musk’s Ex-Employees Are Becoming His Top Rivals | Forbes
PayPal is famous not just for its pioneering of electronic payments but also for its mafia—a group of successful alums who went on to start or fund companies ranging from Yelp and LinkedIn to Palantir and Affirm. Now Elon Musk, the gang’s most famous capo with his vast Tesla wealth, has spawned a newer mob that might one day rival the original. A string of former employees at the carmaker have gone on to form electric vehicle and battery companies, mostly in California. (Dozens of others have landed at EV companies like busmaker Proterra and truckmaker Rivian.) These ex-Tesla staffers are poised to have an outsize impact on the $6 trillion global auto industry in the decades to come.
Secrets of The Token Sale: What is Token Design?
What is Token Design and why do we need it?
Despite the fact that well-functioning token architectures are a fundamental component of any healthy crypto protocol, the vast majority of crypto protocols make serious mistakes in their token architectures. This results in fewer fundraising opportunities for early-stage crypto protocols and in lower utility and market caps of live crypto protocols.
The goal of this video is to give readers an overview of all token architecture mechanisms currently in use. If crypto protocols implement them correctly, these mechanisms have the potential to exponentially increase the value and market caps of their underlying tokens.
