2023-03-07 20:00:14 Our "favorite" myths about cryptocurrency

Myth #1: Cryptocurrencies are a bubble

Fact: While the cryptocurrency market is volatile, there is no evidence to suggest that cryptocurrencies are a bubble. The past year has shown that most cryptocurrencies can be quite resilient to market fluctuations.

Myth #2: Crypto aren't backed by anything and have no intrinsic value

Fact: While cryptocurrencies are not backed by physical assets, they do have value based on their usefulness, scarcity, and market demand. And in some cases underlying technologies and ecosystems.

Myth #3: Cryptocurrencies are a fad that will soon fade away

Fact: Crypto are becoming more widely accepted and integrated into mainstream finance, and they are likely to play an important role in the global economy in the coming years.

Of course, we do not claim that there are no frauds and scammers in the crypto world. But if you put aside the myths, it can become a good tool for achieving goals. Open / Comment

2023-03-01 15:00:04 Exciting news! Japan's central bank has announced launching a pilot program to test digital yen starting in April.

This move follows two years of experimentation by the Bank of Japan to determine whether to issue a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The pilot program will involve simulated transactions with private entities in a test environment and will last for several years.

BOJ Executive Director Shinichi Uchida expressed hope that the pilot program will lead to improved designs through discussions with private businesses.

This program will help the Japan's central bank be prepared in case the government decides to issue a digital yen.
