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 Mens Watches Part 2

I know I should have put everything as one article but forgive me for being lazy. Here is the continuation of the mini series


3. Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue
 A blue watch which not only sets it apart from the traditional black and brown strapped watches, with a totally different kind of fabric, the Tudor is a watch for the fun loving people. With its white dial and a race like orange and white accents on its strap it is the most outgoing of the 5. This a Tudor which you wouldn't mind wearing absolutely anywhere expect perhaps a more formal event or a business meeting, but it's a standout baby nonetheless.


4. Rolex Submariner ' Pepsi'

Although it is not actually called 'Pepsi' and you can get the watch with a different colour combo, we think the red/blue version is quite fetching.On a more personal note it is the only metal-banded watch I would deign to wear no doubt to its sheer simplicity. It challenges the Movado for the do-everything throne, but on account of its larger expense and the fact that I just prefer leather or fabric straps a smidge more than their metal counterparts, the Movado takes the cake. Still if you are feeling generous and love shiny stuff this Rolex would be the way to go. After all it is a Rolex.


5. SevenFriday S101

My favourite watching among the three listed here and my second favourite overall is the SevenFriday SR-01. It's also the only one among the 5 with a squarish dial. And like the Nardin Freak it does have an unconventional way of reading the time. The SR-01 is significantly cheaper than the Nardin but its Movado again for the cheap. We prefer the black strap , black dial edition. However SevenFriday does sell other square-faced watches with its 'Racing' editions even adding splashes of colour. 

Overall the Movado remains the champion. Its cheep, sleek, fun looking and elegant, and it would look good with anything. If Roger Federer walked out wearing Tom and Jerry pyjamas a Movado on his wrist would no doubt elevate the elegant man. Still its Roger Federer (who looks bloody elegant everytime) and Rolex already sponsor him.

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...
