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.

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...

Should Students Invest in Bitcoin?

  A nd tips for when you do! T he student life is as tough as trying to chew ice ( the water one..not the Breaking Bad one).  Studying (if you are into that) and completing assignments, handling relationships with friends and family (among others), rogue viruses ( looking at you Covid-19), partying with the said friends ( and family? hmm), all the while trying your best to be cool ( pun intended); these are just a few of many aspects that a student has to juggle regularly, leaving said student little time for other pursuits. Such as managing themselves financially. Now look, who am I kidding. Most students are broke. One way to identify any student is by estimating the number of instant noodle packets he/she/it buys. It's cheap, fills us up, and well its..uh..instant, as simple as that. Furthermore, our education system, while very good at providing us in-depth knowledge about certain topics we would never need to use in our future life, fails miserably at g...
