Op-Ed: Has Anyone Noticed Bitcoin’s Value Crushing Gold & Silver Over the Last 5 Years? 

http://dcebrief.com/op-ed-has-anyone-noticed-bitcoins-value-crushing-gold-silver-over-last-5-years/




This should get investors to stand up and pay attention - great article Evander!

It's very compelling and powerful. Great job Evander!!

Thanks wargo, I do recommend everyone supports all of the DNotes pools. Even if you only send a small amount of your hashrate to the different pools, and the majority on one pool. Having many pools up and hashing is beneficial to the ecosystem.

That is excellent news, Marc. Our CRISP programs are designed to be easily replicated to fit any group or customized to meet unique requirements and other needs. Our current family for CRISPs for Kids, Students, Employees, and Retirement are the back-bone of the program so that anyone can find a CRISP that meet their needs.

A customized CRISP makes sense when there is a high level of interest, especially from someone of leadership. In this case, a CRISP For Boy and Girl Scouts, could be advantageous when it comes to promotion and fund raising. As an example, Smokeys Daylily Gardens works with Boy Scouts in a fund raising program of their choice. Smokeys agrees to contribute 30% of the sales proceeds to the target charity or organization and 10% to the CRISP program. A lot of good deeds can be accomplished while providing an opportunity to the young scouts to learn about the future of money. It is conceivable that there could be hundreds of CRISPs in the future.

Remember about http://pool.e-waluty.net.pl

Hey Marc, that's excellent news and a great idea!

I think for specific organizations and such, it would be best for a privately run CRISP. RJF suggested a while back that we have a 'CRISP generator' that could be used for various pools and organizations. For instance, if you wanted to start a vacation fund between a group, or in this case an organization such as the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. In the meantime, CRISP for Kids would be the best fit.

That's a good opening to ask what everyone thinks are the best options for a CRISP generator?
Think about the various uses a CRISP generator would have, and the structures we may need in place.

In this scenario, for the scouts, would you have a single person run the CRISP with one page for the Boy Scouts and another for Girl Scouts?
Would you have a separate CRISP page for each troop?
What would the person who runs the CRISP need to be able to do?

Hello all. More good news is in the works. I have been appointed treasurer for my son's Boy Scout pack. With this responsibility also comes the power of suggesting new ideas. Maybe a new CRISP for Scouts is in our future? This would hold true for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. I will have several meetings with the other pack members to discuss this opportunity to them. If not a new CRISP then at least I can open the door for many to join the CRISP for Kids. Either way it will be good news for cryptocurrency and DNotes.

When the funding is there, a lot of things are possible. More likely than not there will be a new generation of Blockchain technology; removing any limitations and concern we have today. Our strategy has always  been to build a trusted global brand with broad base and wide spread stakeholders. Technology can be upgraded quickly. It takes years to build a solid brand and mass acceptance. Within five to ten years, many things that we wished possible, will be possible. Positioning for those possibilities are why we are doing what we are doing. I am absolutely certain that we are on the right track, even though looking at the low price of DNotes today may raise some doubts for some investors. We just have to stay the course and continue to do the right things.   

Now there's a million, no, billion dollar idea! To have DNotes included in an operating system is brilliant. I can see a hard road ahead for inclusion but, working together we stand a good chance of seeing it happen. One thing though, the timeline may be out of reach for some of us but, that's no reason not to pursue it for the future users of DNotes. On the other hand, computer science has been known to advance a breakneck speeds!

“ . . . Vladimir Putin joined the conversation recently, announcing on national television that it is not bitcoin, nor their gold-based currency system, that have been funding ISIL militants. Putin stated that ISIL derives the majority of its revenue from oil reserves, which they have illegally seized in both Syria and Egypt.
During his discussion on financial systems and the operations of ISIL, Putin claimed that the mainstream media has turned their attention to innovative systems like bitcoin, while it was, and always has been, the US government that built and funded ISIL.”

Does anyone have a good Christmas idea or two for spreading the DNotes joy this holiday season?

I would encourage parents and grandparents with children or grand children, who have not already done so, to sign up for CRISP for Kids: http://dnotesvault.com/crisp-for-kids.php
This is the time of the year when some generous donors like to enrich the kids' account with DNotes. We will also have prizes to be given out.

This list of currency loss only covered the emerging market. Majority of the global currencies lost significant value while US$ recorded some gain.

It's nothing new that citizens often ended up loosing a big chunk of their life savings, not because of any faults of theirs, but that of their government. It will be nice for DNotes to become a global alternative savings in a large scale one day.

A global digital currency like DNotes will be a big help to people living in countries listed in this article that are at the mercy of government issued fiat.



Top 10 worst-performing emerging market currencies of 2015

2015 has not been a good year for emerging market currencies.

An economic slowdown in China, plunging oil prices and an imminent Federal Reserve interest rate increase have caused a mass sell-off in emerging market currencies across the board.

CHALLENGES IN EMERGING MARKETS

Currencies such as the Brazilian Real and Turkish Lira have suffered further from political turmoil, while others, including the Russian Rouble and Ghanaian Cedi, have experienced unprecedented levels of volatility and violent shifts in investor sentiment.

Many, including the Malaysian Ringgit, South African Rand and Mexican Peso, have even plunged to all-time lows, compounded by the decision of the People’s Bank of China to devalue the Chinese Yuan in August.

JP Morgan’s emerging market currency index has recently fallen to its lowest on record, having declined by over a fifth since the beginning of last year alone.

WHICH CURRENCIES FARED THE WORST?

Below, we have listed the top 10 worst performing emerging market currencies (Source: Bloomberg Date: 14/10/2015) covered in our latest Emerging Market Report. The Brazilian Real tops the list, having lost a staggering 31.5% of its value so far in 2015 alone.

Percentage lost per emerging market currency in 2015:

Brazilian Real (BRL) – 31.5%
Turkish Lira (TRY) – 20.3%
Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) – 16.7%
Ghanaian Cedi (GHS) – 15.9%
South African Rand (ZAR) – 13.7%
Kenyan Shilling (KES) – 12.2%
Mexican Peso (MXN) – 11.1%
Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) – 9.0%
Egyptian Pound (EGP) – 8.7%
Peruvian Neuevo Sol (PEN) – 8.1%

It is absolutely fantastic news to know that they've been able to program quantum silicon chips. I remember reading a link about this on Facebook a while ago.

RJF is correct, there will be a new requirement for new security levels. The thing about Bitcoin wallets etc, is that they can still be cracked (theoretically), it's just the computing power required is phenomenal, and given our current level of technological capability, considered impossible. I don't particularly see any issue with gradual upgrades with the technology to come in line with these technological advancements if they are required - though they might causes issues and bugs occasionally.

I am also really excited about the "shift" program. I have seen and heard of similar cards being released or in their 'alpha' stage in the past, but have not heard much more about them. I hope that if merchant and consumer use can continue to grow, the market cap of digital currencies in general will increase, and stabilise. This will help some of the massive volatility issues in regards to digital currency.

Whoever makes the first "Quantum Operate System", should become our close friend, and we can integrate a "DNotesWallet" app within it at launch

Agreed, I know they are already thinking about quantum security. I'm sure the transitional and upgrade period will be a nightmare with new issues, but it will probably be worth it.

On the simplest possible level, if we are to have quantum computers then, ergo, we will need quantum security, quantum software, etc. All manor of new fields of computer science and opportunities will open to the next generation. This will be a "sea change" in the information world.

Again great job! It is now a must read for me as I like to keep myself well informed on what is going in our industry. We have been adding a lot of great contents, more than just keeping up with the news. Congratulations to our team for a job well done.
