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.

Everything You Need To Know About Physical Bitcoins

So you actually did it. You read more about Bitcoin Halving. You felt now was the time for you to shine and decided to invest your money into the crypto market. You thought of buying some Ethereum (ETH), maybe a little Ripple (XRP), but you said 'Nah. To hell with it', and decided to go for the real o.g. Bitcoin (BTC). Source: CoinDesk You signed up with a respectable broker who and now you have some BTC stored in a fancy digital wallet. Life is good until I tell you that your wallet isn't secure. You panik, yes, panik. "Really?", you say. And I'm like "Yes, really. You could lose all your holdings online in a snap ". Your panik intensifies. Source: Twitter Mon Dieu! My money! Non! While it's understandable to worry in a weirdly french way (unless you are french...in that case 'Bonjour'),  do remember that no security is always 100% safe. Blockchain tech is the safest that is out there, but that doesn't mean that there aren't big...

New Boot Packs for the New Football Season

MIZUNO "Runbird DNA" Pack Ah, Mizuno, the Japanese kings of the understated football boot. Mizuno is like the Aston Martin to the Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and Porsche's. It's the more nuanced player's boot. A player who really values high-quality leather and is a massive fan of the saying " Old is Gold". We kick-off with the Morelia Neo III Beta. Now, this boot is not for the Beta players. The Japanese just thought Beta was cool as the Neo III represents the latest iteration of the  Morelia brand. It's the lighter more hunkered down version. Think of it as the AMR version of a standard Aston Martin Source: SoccerBible The other boot in this pack is the O.G. Mizuno Morelia Zero. Basically the great-granddaddy of the Neo III Beta. Featuring a handcrafted K-Leather upper, never has Black/White/Red looked this good, even if you count in Adidas's Predator series.

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...
