The Altcoin Rises

O n May 11 2020, the crypto world experienced the phenomena knows as Bitcoin halving . For those who are still a little looney-toons regarding this phenomena, here's the lowdown . Moral of the story is that, as the Bitcoin supply decreased and it's 21 million market cap slowly approached, it was widely accepted that the low supply and high demand will increase the price of the cryptocurrency back to its previous highs. Basic business right? Wrong! Source: Equity Trust Company BTC prices actually fell and after briefly holding steady, are only just rising above the 10000 USD range. Surprise eh? Well, we are not done yet. Because while the most valuable crypto coin wasn't showing it's expected gains, some other cryptocurrencies shot to outer space. There was no SpaceX rocket nor a Tesla Roadster involved. These "altcoins" bumped up in their market value thanks to the entire underlying system of cryptocurrency: investor speculation.  But what exactly are these ...

The Best Men's Watch - Part 1

 A man without a watch is not a man at all. A watch reveals all about the person ( I mean not everything like what time he takes his morning dump or what time he reads the newspaper). Essentially a watch defines personality, whether it be fun and outgoing, serious, or just plain old lazy a watch is people's looking glass into you. Many watch wearing people can testify that when they forget to wear their handy timepiece they feel as if they are standing buck-naked in a snow-storm, which is probably not pleasant. So to not forget your time-telling pancakes here's a list of watches I find stunningly attractive.

 1. Movado Men's Ultra Slim Watch

As the name suggests it is a very thin watch, 6.3 mm to be exact. So obviously it's lightweight and with time(pun intended) you would probably forget that you were wearing it all. But it is stunningly simplistic with beautiful rose-gold dial and a black leather strap. Movado have made a take-me -anywhere -watch here . You could wear this to a beach, a pool party, to the mall and still be able to wear it to a black-tie event without looking out of place. And for those who don't like this design Movado sells others as well.


 2. Ulysse Nardin Freak Vision 2505-250

 My second-favourite watch in this list is the Freak Vision, and well it does look Freaky. Its face/dial is totally different from a standard watch dial, which will no doubt look unique among the throngs of men at your dinner party. Sadly it is not a take me anywhere ( no doubt to its 96500 CHF list price) watch like the Movado, instead appealing more towards the balls, special events, wedding scenarios. I have to say it would look amazing paired with a navy blue suit.

The McLaren Speedtail is Egregiously Elegant

Form follows function.   That has been McLaren's mantra ever since its humble beginnings less than a decade ago. If producing a  supercar  as your first ever car can be called humble. They made the F1 in the '90s and partnered with Mercedes-Benz to give birth to the SLR's with its various editions in the early 2000s but the proper start of the organization only began in 2010, with a car name more apt for the Musk family, the MP4-12C. However, in just 8 years the brand has gone from strength to strength. And massively improved their naming system. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the pinnacle of McLaren Automotive: the Speedtail. Source: Google Images The Speedtail is a part of McLaren's Ultimate Series lineup and it's the evolution of McLaren's DNA which began with the 12C, followed by the 650 S, the 500 series, P1, the 720 S and the Senna. As you can see, the cars in McLaren's lineup not only became a lot easier to pronounce but more importantly stuck to t...

The Week's Top Ten

This list is in no particular order 1. Mercedes AMG Project One wearing zebra undies in the UK The flagship car of the Mercedes Group, the AMG Project One was caught pants down, roaring its way around German companies UK test site. Built to combat the increasing number of supercar/hypercar from its revenue hurting rivals, the Project One is set to slot one step above the AMG GT providing much better performance which naturally comes at a price. And even if you do have the money, you have to prove you have owned over 20 + Mercedes cars in your lifetime. Much selective, But we like. Other camo covered cars are the next-gen Audi R8 and the 600 + hp BMW X6 M. 2. God Of War get beaten by your friendly neighbourhood SpiderMan Sadly I don't live in New York.

Bitcoin Faucets: A Get Rich Quick Scheme?

A faucet is basically the monocled-top-hat-wearing-tux-rocking name of a tap. Faucet, tap, same thing but different name, kind of like having twins (where you probably love one more than the other). At the end of the day, a faucet is a device that controls the flow of liquid or gas from a pipe or container. So a Bitcoin faucet is basically a device (in this case a website(s)) that controls the flow of bitcoin to its users. It basically transfers free bitcoin to its users. Yeah, free bitcoins. You just sign up, watch advertisements, perform surveys, fill captchas, even press a very obvious 'Roll' button and et voila, you, the lucky user has now received some sweet sweet Bitcoin. Ka-ching from a faucet. Now, why are these faucets so kind in giving away free bitcoin? Well, they know that to really make any money on their platform, you have to be a dedicated user with a decent referral count. That gives them access to your and/or referrals' data (basically what most webs...
