Best Crypto to Buy Now

With all the turmoil going on in the world right now is crypto still a viable option for investment? If so, what is the best crypto to buy now? In this article, we take a look. Here goes…

At the time of writing (late 2022) current economic conditions are weighing heavily on markets, inflation is high and stocks are falling. There is an escalating war in Eastern Europe and rising fuel and gas supply issues that are driving household costs even higher. Crypto is in a verified bear market and most coins are down significantly from last year. But despite all this, we believe there is still an opportunity for brave investors in crypto.

The leading contender in crypto is of course Bitcoin. Most other alternative coins or altcoins will vary in value according to the price of Bitcoin. So invariably, if Bitcoin is doing well, altcoins traditionally will do well too.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the granddaddy of all crypto, launched in 2009 it is often lauded as the hedge against inflation. Unfortunately, that hasn’t quite worked out as bitcoin has fallen from highs of $61,000 in 2021 to around $20,000 today. Despite this dramatic fall in value, Bitcoin has been surprisingly resilient and has not fallen much below the $20K mark. Of course, Bitcoin could fall considerably more and some commentators say it could fall to values as low as $8-12K. However, the take here is the resilience of Bitcoin in pretty dismal market conditions. Therefore, an optimist’s view would be that Bitcoin is currently ‘cheap’ and values are likely to rise significantly in the next 18-24 months.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano is a currency launched by Charles Hoskinson , an ex-Ethereum co-founder in 2017. Cardano is often overlooked in the crypto space but is consistently in the top ten of cryptocurrencies by market cap. Cardano uniquely offers a truly decentralised blockchain that allows smart contracts and DeFi applications to be built on the chain. The crypto is based on the Proof of Stake system (PoS) which means transactions are verified by users according to the number of coins they have staked in the system rather than the power of their CPUs. Many argue this makes Cardano are much more environmentally friendly option than Bitcoin for example that runs on the Proof of Work (PoW) system. Cardano supporters are loyal to the cause and 75% of all ADA (the native token on Cardano) is staked. Uniquely, on Cardano if you stake your coins you do not lose control of them, you can still spend and utilise your ADA as you wish without having to lock them up. Amazingly, the Cardano blockchain is extremely robust with zero downtime in four years! Cardano’s price has also dropped dramatically from all-time highs of around $3 to around $0.39 today. Despite these dramatic falls the Cardano ecosystem continues to grow and shows much promise for the future. With all this in mind, Cardano would appear to be a good bet for the future when the market picks up.

Binance (BNB)

Binance is a cryptocurrency exchange launched by CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao or “CZ”. Binance is the largest cryptocurrency in the world by daily trading volume. Launched in 2017 the Binance network offers smart contracts via Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Despite market conditions, Binance appears to be going from strength to strength. The value of BNB has dropped from all-time highs of $691 to just $328. Despite this dramatic fall, the coin has ‘only’ lost half its value. The Binance CEO appears to be headstrong on growth and recently supported Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter with $500m. He has also talked about purchasing a bank. With all this in mind, Binance is hard to ignore and is a good bet for the future in our opinion.

Pop Up World Token (PUW)

Pop Up World Token

The problem is, out of all start-ups launched, less than 1% ever receive external funding to realise their dreams. For ethnic minority founders, the figures are even lower, with less than 1%, of that 1% of founders finding success. Pop Up World and (PUW) were launched to address these important issues. Services like Investor Connector aim to connect start-ups with VCs and Angel Investors but more is needed.

The Pop Up World token is a cryptocurrency token built on the Cardano blockchain by and for entrepreneurs.

Writer Graham Jules Claims His Virtual Heaven Screenplay Is First To Be Illustrated By Artificial Intelligence.

We’ve all seen movies like The Terminator where artificial intelligent machines rise to take over the world with catastrophic consequences. But what is the reality of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the creative arts?

The Terminator – AI goes wild

Entrepreneur and writer Graham Jules has already utilised the technology in creating his illustrated screenplay, Virtual Heaven (Back To Reality).

Jules claims his book is the first screenplay to be illustrated by artificial intelligence, he says, “I thought it would be ironic if a real-world AI could create the images for the book. The screenplay is about a grieving mother and husband who decide to bring back their daughter through genetics. Unexpected consequences unfold as a billionaire lab owner exerts control, unleashing an AI that threatens her motherhood and the fabric of society.”

Writer and Entrepreneur Graham Jules

Jules’ screenplay utilises AI-based image processing, Open AI’s Dall–E 2. It can create unique hi-resolution images and photos from just a creative text prompt.

For instance, want a realistic photo of a bear skating on ice? Just type in the prompt and a few seconds later the artificial intelligent neural net will give you four choices that it has conjured up out of thin air.

Bear in mind this technology is not just regurgitating existing images in a database, it can create content based on artistic styles and the images are unique.

Virtual Heaven (Back To Reality) image created by Dall-E 2

From scintillating sci-fi screenplay images to text for articles and websites. AI systems like Jasper can create original articles and written content from a simple prompt. The system can write blog posts, articles and even books.

Need an avatar to present your creation to the world? No problem. AI systems like Synthesia can create a virtual version of you that can present your content via video by simply typing in a script. The avatar can also mimic your voice.

Struggling to find a catchy name, logo or strapline for your project? Systems like Pop Up World’s AI Creator ticks all the boxes and can give artificially intelligent suggestions from a simple text description.

Are we are truly entering an age where sci-fi meets reality? Jules says, “Some say that the technology will impact jobs in the arts but at the moment although impressive it will be a while before an AI can write a quality screenplay or novel. True creatives are safe for now!”.

The progress of artificial intelligence marches on at an ever-increasing pace. Entrepreneurs and creatives will need to keep abreast of developments to avoid entering markets that are to be heavily disrupted by the new technology.

Limited editions of Virtual Heaven (Back To Reality) are available on Amazon.

How to Become an Entrepreneur

In this article, we take a look at how you can become an entrepreneur and grow your business from scratch. Here we go…

Firstly, let’s look at what we mean by an entrepreneur.

The word has been associated with high-flying Silicon Valley types but the true meaning of the word is someone who endeavours to grow a business from nothing with no or few resources while taking on loads of risk.

Sounds like you? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

Entrepreneurial mindset

Entrepreneurial Mindset

Becoming an entrepreneur is not just about quitting your day job and starting any old business.

To become a true entrepreneur you need to be able to see opportunities where others see none.

That’s what separates entrepreneurs from your usual business leader. Typical business leaders may only be interested in the bottom line.

An entrepreneur will have the vision to see past sales stats and look towards future growth as the driving force.

Think Jeff Bezos versus Warren Buffett. Jeff Bezos grew a company from scratch with relatively few resources. That company, Amazon went on to be a multi-billion dollar business.

However, Amazon went nearly ten years before turning a profit in 2003. Warren Buffet, on the other hand made his vast fortune by selecting stocks and holding them.

While both activities are admirable, we can see that one activity is clearly more entrepreneurial than the other. To become an entrepreneur you will have to hone your ability to see opportunities where few dare to tread.

Analysis

No point in being able to see potential opportunities if you cannot analyse objectively the likelihood of success.

A true entrepreneur needs to be able to differentiate between an idea and a true opportunity.

Non-entrepreneurs place far too much emphasis on having a great idea and short-term ego boosts. True entrepreneurs understand that having an idea is easy, the hard part is making it work and making money out of it.

Some ideas sound great on paper but in reality, simply will not work. True entrepreneurs can objectively analyse the future potential in the market and execute their plans effectively.

To become an entrepreneur you will need to be able to objectively analyse your ideas and ditch the ones that won’t work.

Risk

Entrepreneur risk

True entrepreneurs understand risk. For example, you buy a dilapidated property, renovate it and sell it. Your profit will usually be more than if you purchase a new build property and sell it after the same amount of time.

Renovating an old property is risky and expensive, and the market will usually reward those who take on that risk. If you are looking to avoid risk in your start-up you are missing the point of becoming an entrepreneur.

By avoiding risk you are literally avoiding the opportunity to be paid handsomely for your endeavours.

By risk, we are not talking about throwing caution to the wind and being reckless. Your idea should be realistic and you should have analysed the opportunity thoroughly but there should be some element of risk, otherwise, the rewards will be low.

To become an entrepreneur you will have to get comfortable with the idea of risk.

Staying power

Being an entrepreneur is hard. If you have a great and realistic idea it could take years before it catches on and makes you money.

In the meantime, you still need to be able to keep a roof over your head and pay the bills.

Unfortunately, many wannabe entrepreneurs drop out when the going gets tough. If your plan is still working, you need to have the grit to be able to keep on going, no matter what.

Becoming an entrepreneur means having the determination to keep on going even when your situation may be frustratingly difficult.

Not afraid to listen and pivot

How to become an entrepreneur – Entrepreneurs listen.

An entrepreneur is not afraid to alter their original idea if the market and real data from customers prove otherwise.

Non-entrepreneurs will try and force their ideas onto their clients regardless of the client’s needs.

To become an entrepreneur you will need to actively listen to your customers and act on any feedback to help grow the business.

If customers are asking for something that you can provide, a true entrepreneur will always be prepared to seize the opportunity and pivot.

To become an entrepreneur you will need to learn to listen to feedback, good and bad, especially from customers.

If a genuine opportunity presents itself that is greater than the one envisaged you should be prepared to pivot and position yourself to take advantage of the new opportunity.

Communicate well

Entrepreneurs need to be able to communicate. To become an entrepreneur you should look to improve your written, verbal and marketing skills.

This is because you will need to be able to persuade customers to buy your product or service.

Without excellent communication skills, you will find it difficult to persuade anyone to part with their hard- earned cash.

The entrepreneurs that are able to master this and generate media interest for example can save thousands in advertising costs for their companies and sell more.

Always learning

Entrepreneurs – Always learning

To become an entrepreneur you will need to constantly be prepared to learn new things. Why? Because early on you may not have the resources to pay someone to carry out the particular task you need doing.

So, it might be better to learn to do that task yourself for free. To become an entrepreneur you will need to have multiple skills at hand, otherwise, your start-up costs are likely to be huge.

Skills such as simple coding, marketing, writing, web design, graphic design, sales techniques, and public speaking are all useful skills to have under your belt.

The good thing is, all the above can be learnt for free online via YouTube or there are thousands of books available on any subject you can imagine on Amazon.

No expensive or lengthy courses are needed.

Fear and Execution

Entrepreneurs handle fear

True entrepreneurs are not afraid to move forward and execute their idea once they have evaluated it.

Non-entrepreneurs will procrastinate and wait forever and invariably talk themselves out of the opportunity, mainly due to fear.

To become an entrepreneur you will need to overcome your fear of failing. Once you have successfully evaluated your idea, you will need to execute it fully to make your dream become a reality.

Final thoughts

Your transformation into an entrepreneur will certainly not be easy but if you are prepared to work and build on your existing skills, the path to success will bring many rewards.

Cryptocurrency – Advantages and Disadvantages.

Some cite cryptocurrency as the future of money but is it really? In this article, we take an honest look at the advantages and disadvantages of digital currency.

Benefit: Cryptocurrency is decentralised and therefore resistant to market manipulation.

Crypto is decentralised

One of the main selling points of crypto is decentralisation. Governments, large corporations or individuals cannot easily manipulate the currency due to its decentralised nature.

Downside: Proof of Stake blockchains reward those with the largest stake in the currency.

Whereby Proof of Work (PoW) will verify transactions on the blockchain and reward according to their ability to solve puzzles using the processing power of miners. Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains give out rewards based on the amount of stake an individual holds in the crypto. Therefore, it’s likely that over time, controlling interests in a Proof of Stake cryptocurrency may shift to a few large operators unless checks and balances are put in place. Also, since most cryptos do not restrict the size of holdings, a large ‘whale’ (a large crypto investor) could cause the price to crash by selling all their holdings in one go.

Benefit: Cryptocurrency is private.

Crypto is private

Yes, it’s true transactions on the blockchain are not stamped with your personal details so, in theory, your transactions are private.

Downside: All transactions are public.

Although transactions are not personally identifiable, once someone has your wallet address they can pretty much see all your transactions and wallet balance. All transactions are stored on the blockchain indefinitely and cannot be deleted.

Benefit: You can transfer monetary value anywhere in the world quickly at a minimal cost.

Yes, cryptocurrency can be used to transfer monetary value across the world without middlemen and with minimal fees.

Downside: Crypto is volatile, therefore care must be taken on transfer.

Crypto is volatile

You need to be careful that the transaction does not devalue or become more valuable over a short space of time. For instance, if you use crypto to buy goods and the value of the crypto increases massively in value shortly afterwards, it may have been best to hold on to it rather than use it for purchasing. Also, if you accept payment in crypto and the value tanks you will be left with less money in your pocket than you would have otherwise.

Benefit: Cryptocurrency is resistant to fraudulent transfers.

Unlike traditional bank accounts and cards, crypto is relatively resistant to fraudulent transfers. This is because digital wallets require a valid wallet address and a digital signature to verify the transaction. No one should be able to access your wallet without your seed phrases.

Downside: Crypto is computer-based which makes it an ideal target for hackers.

Crypto is an ideal target for hackers

If hackers gain access to your computer or phone and have access to your seed phrases they can transfer your crypto to their own wallet address. Hardware wallets are often preferred to store large crypto holdings.

Benefit: Crypto can increase in value unlike any other asset currently available.

Yes, it’s true many of the top cryptocurrencies have increased massively since inception and many millionaires have been made. Bitcoin for example gained over 6000% in 2013.

Downside: The volatile nature of crypto can cause the value to collapse overnight without warning.

Terra Luna Crypto crashed 99% in 2022

Investors in token Luna for example lost 99% of its value in their holdings when the crypto crashed suddenly. The currency crashed from $24 to $0.15 in May 2022.

Benefits: Crypto cannot be confiscated by unscrupulous governments.

Yes, due to its digital nature and decentralisation governments will find it difficult or impossible to confiscate digital currency.

Downside: Governments can issue stringent regulations to impede or ban crypto entirely.

Although governments may find it difficult to confiscate crypto, they can pass stringent regulations to impede or ban its progress. Stringent regulation on exchanges for example would mean there would be few places where you could sell your crypto.

Final thoughts

Cryptocurrency offers so much promise but with caveats. If you are considering investing in cryptocurrency it’s essential you do not risk all you have in one crypto. Secure your laptop and mobile and be aware the rules of the game may change overnight. With that said, there’s no doubt the future of crypto looks bright. Invest wisely.

This article is not investment advice. You should always carry out your own research.

Dating for Entrepreneurs – What’s The Best Way?

Business success is not just about the money. What’s the point in having an amazing thriving business if there’s no one to share the fruits of your labour?

It’s been documented that in order to be happy, a person needs balance in four key areas: Health, Wealth, Relationships and Spiritual. It’s argued that without all of these, a human being cannot be truly happy.

Entrepreneurs are well versed with advice about growing their business but what’s the best way for an entrepreneur to build their relationship?

Here goes…

Be the best version of yourself.

Try to be the best version of yourself

While waiting for that special someone to walk into your life, don’t just work on your business. You should work on yourself too. Learn new skills (not just work or business skills), visit new places, and work on your personal image and how you present yourself.

Learn how to communicate with new people, not just romantic interests. Widen your network and learn from those who are different from you.

Doing this will give you more depth and more conversation when you do meet someone special.

Say no to drama.

Stay clear of relationship drama

Yes, of course, you need to find someone that you are attracted to but as an entrepreneur, you are going to require someone who is grounded and able to deal with your start-up rollercoaster.

It’s important to find someone that’s not going to add unnecessary drama to your already busy life.

If they look great but bring tons of drama they simply need to go. Don’t get sidetracked by style over substance. Yes, you can have both.

Don’t lead with your business.

Try not to brag about your business

Of course, you want to impress your new date. But try to hold back on presenting your entire business plan to your new acquaintance.

You should really be trying to find out more about them. Trying to brag or boast about your start-up plans or business success is only going to attract the wrong type of partner into your life.

If the other person is interested in you as an individual they will be sure to stick around to find out more.

Take red flags seriously.

Watch for early red flags

Red flags are early signs that a new relationship has the potential to be toxic.

Red flags such as lateness, verbal abuse, last-minute cancellations, recent exes drama, not returning messages/calls, and lack of basic manners should all suggest that this new relationship is going nowhere, fast.

You should not waste your time and move on immediately.

Moving too fast.

Try not to move too fast

Yes, you want to meet someone special but moving too fast will not help secure them in your life, in fact, it may have the opposite effect.

If you are looking for something serious probably not a good idea to get physical on the first few dates.

You are just sending the wrong messages. Instead, work on building trust by sharing and talking to your new partner.

If you are looking for something serious always work slowly towards the physical part of the relationship.

Messaging too much.

Messaging too much can be a problem

In the early days don’t conduct your entire relationship over text or messaging apps. It’s tempting to keep in constant contact with your new potential via text and social media because it’s so easy.

A brief phone call to make arrangements will be much better as you can express so much more via voice than text. Be sure to keep any direct phone communication brief, less than 15 mins.

Don’t try to hog the person’s time by engaging in deep hour-long conversations to try to win them over the phone. Meeting in person is always best.

Keep dates short.

The purpose of dating is to give each person the opportunity to find out more about the other and build rapport.

If the date is a blind date, you should meet midweek. If you have met in person already, a weekend date is OK but only if you feel you have built some rapport already.

You should reserve the weekend only for dates that you have established a good rapport with (in person). That way you have the weekends free for yourself should no suitable dates be available.

The date should be no longer than 2 hours and you should leave no matter how well it’s going.

If it’s going well, it’s OK to make tentative plans for the following week. But don’t be desperate and try to make plans for the next couple of days!

If the first few dates are too long, you’re not giving yourself the necessary mental space to assess the date properly. Dates should get progressively longer as you get to know each other and feel more comfortable.

Learn from your mistakes.

Try to learn from dating mistakes

Own your mistakes. Be honest with yourself and try and learn from them. Much like your start-up, you will come across stumbling blocks and you will need to find solutions to relationship problems.

Unlike running a business, personal relationships often require us to look at ourselves and assess what role we played in the failure rather than looking at external issues.

If you have any outstanding issues or red flags yourself you should look to get these issues resolved before engaging in a new relationship, otherwise, you run the risk of sidetracking your business and your mental wellbeing.

Running a business is hard and the last thing you want is an all-engrossing difficult relationship.

If you find you are only attracting these kinds of relationships it may be time to look inwardly at yourself and seek professional help to prompt change.

After you’ve found someone – Relationship goals.

Remember to set relationship goals

OK, so you have someone in your life already or you’ve followed everything above and have finally found that special someone. What now?

You mustn’t sit back and relax! Just like your business, a new relationship needs constant attention.

If you’ve been together for a year or more you can start by building relationship goals together. Talk about things that you’re both looking to achieve (not just business goals) in the coming months or years together and make plans to meet these goals together.

Keep things simple at first and build from there. You should be looking to build good memories and teamwork from these goals. An example of a relationship goal could be, a joint dinner party for your friends or a holiday to celebrate a year together.

Don’t jump straight into moving in together, buying a house or having babies until you have a few smaller relationship goals under your belt!

You will lay down good memories and learn a great deal about each other by regularly doing this and hopefully, you will be closer as a result.

Don’t forget along the way to celebrate your wins together and most importantly remember to thank your new partner for all their support.

Final thoughts.

Your success as an entrepreneur will not only rest on business acumen. The quality of personal relationships will have a huge impact on your mental well-being and aspiring entrepreneurs must learn early on to build meaningful relationships.

The lessons learnt will be valuable not only personally but the increased emotional intelligence will be useful in other parts of your life and business interactions.

Artificial Intelligence in Business – How Can it Help Your Start-Up In Real Terms?

So, we keep on hearing the buzz words Artificial Intelligence and AI. Is this just sci-fi dreaming or can artificial intelligence be used by normal businesses to boost productivity and sales? In this article, we look at real-world uses for Artificial Intelligence in business (AI) that you can use today.

First, before we take a look at some of its real-world uses, we need to understand what artificial intelligence or AI actually is.

Artificial Intelligence is a computer algorithm that aims to simulate how the human brain works by utilising artificial neurons that can be trained to approximate the way humans solve problems.

It’s important to understand that AI algorithms do not need a programmer as such.

A programmer would traditionally write lines of code for every conceivable situation but instead, the algorithm is ‘trained’ with a series of examples and much like a human it will learn from those examples and output an answer based on what it has learned.

What this means in real terms is that the bigger the dataset the AI algorithm is trained on, the more useful the applications and answers it will deliver. The downside is that many AI algorithms are a ‘black box’ that can at times give unexpected results.

Open AI

Open AI – Artificial Intelligence

Open AI is a not-for-profit research lab that specialises in the field of artificial intelligence. Founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altmanllya, Greg Brockman, Wojciech Zaremba and John Schulman the lab has a for-profit arm, that releases access to its algorithm for a fee to the public.

In June 2020 Open AI launched GPT-3. GPT-3 is a neural network trained on internet data that can generate any type of text. The algorithm was trained on trillions of phrases from the internet.

So what can GPT-3 be used for?

Viable

What if you have loads of customer feedback and you need a way to extract the sentiment of the feedback from the text? GPT-3 can do that. Viable is an app based on GPT-3 that can analyze customer feedback and give insights into reams of feedback data.

Pop Up World’s – AI Creator

Pop Up World’s – AI Creator

Got a start-up idea but can’t think of a catchy name? GPT-3 can do that. Pop Up World’s AI Creator is based on the GPT-3 algorithm. It just needs a description of your start-up idea and it will generate a snappy name, strapline, description and logo suggestions.

Jasper

Need to write marketing copy? GPT-3 can do that. Jasper will take a brief description of your product and create marketing copy based on that information. Jasper can help with writing blog posts, articles and even books.

Co-Pilot

Need to write code? Write the code in English and GPT-3 will translate into executable code.

These are just a few examples but apparently, there are over 300 apps utilising GPT-3 and you can easily build your own with minimal programming skills.

If you need to process and evaluate text in any way GPT-3 can more than likely help. Free access is available at the following link.

https://openai.com/api/

DALL -E 2

So GPT-3 has it covered for text but what about images? Is there any way an algorithm can create pictures from a simple text description?

The answer is a resounding yes. Launched in January 2021 Open AI’s Dall-E allows users to do just that.

The recent update Dall-E 2 is truly incredible. Just enter brief text of your required image and DALL -E will create a photograph, a line drawing or even a painting of your requested text.

The uses are far-reaching. Book illustrations, blogs, tweets, and Instagram posts all can be generated automatically with no need for artistic talent and minimal creativity.

The obvious question is what does this mean for visual artists and photographers? The general answer is increased competition.

Although, simple images are straightforward to create using DALL -E 2 more complex compositions can be difficult to pin down. Image libraries could be seriously disrupted in future though.

Here are two quick examples of what Dall -E 2 can do:

The prompt: painting of an entrepreneur talking to a huge robot

The prompt: painting of an entrepreneur talking to a huge robot

The prompt: Photo of an entrepreneur talking to a huge robot

The prompt: Photo of an entrepreneur talking to a huge robot

Access to Dall- E 2 is via a waiting list. You can apply at the link below:

https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

Synthesia.io

Apps like Synthesia can help content creators convert text into video. Videos include the creation of digital actors or avatars that can perform the content for you. Videos are known to create much more engagement, so this type of content creation is not only a huge time saver for start-ups but could potentially increase enquiries and sales.

(An example video of the first few lines of this Blog post using Synthesia and AI avatar. So we keep on hearing the buzz words Artificial Intelligence and AI. Is this just sci-fi dreaming or can artificial intelligence be used by normal business to boost productivity and sales? )

Final thoughts

The progress of artificial intelligence marches on at an ever-increasing pace.

Entrepreneurs will need to keep abreast of developments in order to avoid entering markets that are to be heavily disrupted by the new technology.

Start-ups should aim to incorporate the technology to allow for new and more efficient services for their users.

New Tokens on Cardano – How to Find Them?

So you want to find hot new tokens on the Cardano blockchain? In this article, we look at how to do just that.

Cardano is consistently in the top 10 of blockchains in the crypto universe by market cap but is often overlooked by many involved in cryptocurrency.

Cardano was founded by Charles Hoskinson who was also an early founder of Ethereum until he fell out with his co-founder Vitalik Buterin to eventually leave and form Cardano.

Cardano unlike Ethereum verifies on-chain transactions via a Proof of Stake (PoS) system, where node validators stake the Cardano native token, (ADA) to verify transactions.

Ethereum (and Bitcoin) on the other hand at the time of writing utilises Proof of Work (PoW), which requires validators to carry out algorithmic puzzles to verify the blockchain, this requires much more CPU power and therefore energy and is argued to be less environmentally friendly than PoS.

Ethereum intends to address this by launching a Proof of Stake Ethereum blockchain in an event widely known as ‘The Merge’.

All this apparent intense competition between the top blockchains has resulted in much mudslinging by maximalists but Cardano has several advantages.

Specifically, low transaction fees, low energy requirements for blockchain validation, live smart contracts and a growing ecosystem of DApps and exchanges (DEXs). What’s more, there is a growing list of projects and tokens launched on Cardano that could present serious opportunities for risk-taking investors but how do we find these projects?

Here we go…

CardanoCube.io

Cardanocube.io – Explore the Cardano Ecosystem

Cardanocube.io can give potential investors a list of new tokens on Cardano. Of course, the number of projects currently listed is significantly smaller than that of Ethereum but Cardano is growing very quickly since the launch of Smart contracts in September 2021.

Projects are listed under headings such as Dapps, Launchpads, DEXs, etc. making it easy to see the type of project you are looking for and a simple click on the logo will take you to the project page where more information and a link to the project website and whitepaper can be found.

All projects are verified by the CardanoCube.io team so the projects listed should be genuine but you should be advised, as with all crypto investments to do your own research.

MuesliSwap

MuesliSwap DEX

MuesliSwap was the first DEX (Decentralised Exchange) to go live on Cardano. The user interface is easy to navigate, just select ‘Markets’ at the top of the page and then ‘All’ and you will see a full list of all available tokens listed on the DEX. MuesliSwap does label projects as ‘Verified’ if the project meets certain criteria but once again it is highly recommended you carry out your own research.

Click on a token logo and this brings up lots of information such as price, market cap and recent transactions. A nice clear graph of historic price is given as well as links to the project website and Cardano blockchain research tool Cardanoscan.

Minswap

Minswap DEX

Minswap is another Dex on Cardano. The user interface is fairly easy to navigate just go to the main page, click on ‘Launch and you will be presented with a list of tokens to research.

Unfortunately, there are no direct links to project websites so you will have to do a little more digging here to get more information apart from the current price and recent transactions.

Wingriders

Wingriders DEX

Wingriders is another DEX on Cardano, the interface is considerably slick. Here you can view new tokens by clicking Enter on the home page and selecting tokens in the drop-down at the top of the next page. Here you are given the current price of the token, the volume and the ability to swap your ADA for your token of choice.

Final Thoughts

In order to purchase your shiny new tokens you will need to set up a Cardano compatible wallet, if you don’t have one yet you can read this article:

It’s important to remember that this article is by no means financial advice. Remember to do your own research and stay safe, crypto is extremely volatile and you should resist going ‘all in’ on a project as you are likely to lose more than you can afford. Good luck!

Pitfalls of Entrepreneurship – Is a Day Job Better?

Running a start-up and branching out into entrepreneurship is often held up as the remedy for all those who hate answering to a boss. But what’s best, running a start-up or a 9 to 5? Here are some downsides of entrepreneurship that are often forgotten.

It can take years to get a return on investment.

Entrepreneurs need to be patient to see returns on their investment

Entrepreneurs put in the hours, do all the hard graft and often fund the venture but it can take years to see any real return on the initial investment of time and money.

For some, the time and expense it takes to get a venture up and running is prohibitive. By contrast, a 9 to 5 job rewards for time and hours spent from the get-go.

Customers can be more demanding than the boss.

The customer is always right, that’s how the saying goes. But in the real world customers are often fully aware of their rights and can be super demanding especially when it comes to new start-up businesses.

The world is super competitive and often if a business does not jump to the customer’s demands they will simply go somewhere else.

Unless you have a unique selling point or a patentable idea, customers simply have a lot of choices, you will soon realise that customers expect the very best in service, price and convenience.

If clients go elsewhere it simply means entrepreneurs cannot keep the lights on. A 9 to 5 job on the other hand may have its own arbitrary targets and deadlines but let’s be honest regardless, you will still get compensated for the work you do whatever the outcome.

Access to funding.

Access to funding can be challenging for entrepreneurs

The financial world is often stacked up against entrepreneurs. A new business may find funding will be hard to come by.

Loans will need years of accounts or trading history and investors are reluctant to invest in projects that don’t have any traction.

Entrepreneurs who have quit their day job often cannot show sufficient regular income, so unless they have some other form of income or have a large amount of equity in an asset such as a house, banks will be reluctant to lend to them.

By contrast, an employed individual can get easy access to loans as long as they can show proof of income and a decent credit report.

Holidays are few and far between.

Entrepreneurs especially in the early days are constantly firefighting and working hard to grow the business.

Although exciting, it can mean that entrepreneurs may go through long periods without taking a break.

Furthermore, solo entrepreneurs may have to factor in the cost of the holiday and the cost of lost business into the equation. By contrast nine to fiver’s are often afforded the luxury of paid holidays.

Stress levels.

Stress levels can be ‘through the roof’ for entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurship by its very nature is stressful. Finding new clients, growing the business, and concerns about revenue are things an entrepreneur is constantly worrying about. This can lead to increased levels of stress and anxiety.

Although many jobs are stressful, the stress of not knowing when the next paycheck is yet to clear is not for all. It’s unlikely you will have to face this level of stress in a job.

Future security.

The focus is often on the high rewards of successful entrepreneurship but since 90% of these businesses fail it may be wise to look at the impact if a start-up venture folds.

If an entrepreneur makes any personal guarantees for loans or investments they will be personally liable.

If they have not set up a private pension they may not have built up any pension during their period of entrepreneurship.

An entrepreneur’s credit report may take a hit due to a failed venture. Entrepreneurs may also find it difficult to set up another business or access funding for a while after a failed venture.

If an entrepreneur decides to go back into employment, future employers may look at the journey into entrepreneurship with suspicion.

Personal relationships.

Entrepreneurs personal relationships can suffer

As we mentioned earlier entrepreneurs work hard. This can have a devastating impact on personal relationships.

Many marriages and relationships break down under the stress of entrepreneurship.

There are only so many times an entrepreneur can cancel on a friend before they become an ex-friend.

Entrepreneurs often do not have the benefit of work colleagues to share the burden. As the boss, everyone is looking at the founder for answers, so, even if an entrepreneur is lucky enough to have a good-sized team behind them entrepreneurship can be isolating.

Money doesn’t always equal happiness.

Obviously, the purpose of any entrepreneur is to build a successful business. However, if money is the sole objective of an entrepreneur they may find that once they have reached their destination there may lurk a lingering emptiness.

In fact, entrepreneurship is so hard and so demanding it is unlikely an entrepreneur will be successful if their sole driver is money since they will simply burn out during the lean times.

An entrepreneur should not go to all the trouble of setting up in business to just simply create another ‘job’ for themselves.

Final thoughts.

This article is not written to put you off entrepreneurship, it’s written to make you think about the pitfalls that are often forgotten during the exciting process of launching a new business.

So what’s best? Entrepreneurship or a day job? It depends, if you don’t mind uncertainty, intensive hard work, meeting new people and selling to them, entrepreneurship may be for you.

If none of the above works for you it may be best to stick to the day job.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cardano What’s the Difference?

The rise of cryptocurrencies has recently faltered but there are three main digital assets that continue to remain in the crypto top ten; Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cardano. In this article, we look at each of them and explain the differences.

Bitcoin

Future of cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is the granddaddy of all cryptocurrencies. It’s probably one of the main digital currencies that even non-crypto heads have heard of. Bitcoin was launched in 2009 by a mysterious developer or group, no one really knows, Satoshi Nakamato.

Bitcoin was the first to establish what is known as a Blockchain. A Blockchain is a kind of digital list (ledger) that contains all transactions that take place on a network.

The ledger cannot easily be changed or deleted by users, making it extremely secure for transactions between people or entities that don’t trust each other.

The concept behind Bitcoin was to create an alternative financial system following the 2008 financial crash and the banking sector bailout. This allowed digital transfers between anyone without middlemen globally.

Bitcoin Rewards

Users can get rewarded with free Bitcoins on the Bitcoin blockchain by carrying out a process called ‘mining’. Mining is the process whereby a user carries out a series of computer calculations that verifies the transactions on the Bitcoin network.

The miner will carry out a series of mathematical puzzles to verify the transactions and store a value in the ledger. On successful completion, the miner is rewarded with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has been criticised by some because this mining process, often referred to as ‘Proof of Work’ (PoW) requires a large amount of processing power and consequentially is energy intensive.

Some argue that the environment is impacted by the power-hungry Bitcoin miners. A recent Cambridge study showed that Bitcoin mining used power in excess of some countries (121 Terra Watt Hours). Others argue that 76% of Bitcoin miners utilise green energy to power their computers.

Bitcoin Scarcity

The Bitcoin network operates on the basis that only 21 million Bitcoins will ever be produced. Currently, 19.103 Million Bitcoins have been produced. In theory, as more Bitcoins are produced and as demand rises this should cause the price of Bitcoin to rise.

Some argue that this makes Bitcoin an excellent store of value. Others argue that since Bitcoin has no inherent use, unlike gold, for example, its ability to store value is limited.

Ethereum

Ethereum

Much like Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralised blockchain that allows for trust-less transactions between individuals. Ethereum was launched in 2015 by Russian computer scientist Vitalik Buterin and co-founders Gavin WoodCharles HoskinsonAnthony Di Iorio and Joseph Lubin. The native asset on the chain is called Ether or Eth.

The main difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum was that for the first time a blockchain offered the ability to create what’s known as a ‘Smart Contract’.

A smart contract is a kind of programmable instruction set that allows the creator to distribute assets when certain conditions are met. Most importantly these transactions can be carried out automatically without centralised control.

Programmable smart contracts allow for the creation of decentralised exchanges and decentralised finance applications or DeFi.

DeFi allows for the possibility of an alternative to the centralised financial system in which brokers, banks and intermediaries play an important and arguably redundant role.

Ethereum Rewards

Users can be rewarded with free ETH via a system similar to Bitcoin’s ‘Proof of Work’. Users are rewarded after carrying out a series of puzzles on their machines to validate transactions on the network.

Much like Bitcoin, Ethereum has been criticised for its environmentally unfriendly ‘Proof of Work’ system for mining. To overcome this issue Ethereum is changing its ‘Proof of Work’ system to ‘Proof of Stake’ (PoS), in 2022 often called “The Merge”.

Proof of Stake requires users to stake their digital assets (ETH) to verify transactions rather than utilising processing power. It is believed that this new system should reduce energy consumption on the network by 99.95%.

Ethereum Scarcity

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has no upper limit to the number of Ethereum that can be produced. Ethereum has around 115 million ETH in circulation. Many argue that as a result, this makes Ethereum more suitable as a digital currency than Bitcoin for everyday transactions.

Others argue that due to high transaction costs, or ‘Gas Fees’, Ethereum as a digital currency is not scalable. The move to Proof of Stake should result in lower gas fees and better scalability down the road.

Cardano

Cardano

Much like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Cardano (ADA) is a decentralised blockchain that allows for transactions between individuals. Cardano was launched in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson was mentioned earlier in this article and was an original co-founder of Ethereum.

After disagreements with Vitalik, Hoskinson decided to branch out on his own and create Cardano. The native asset on the Cardano blockchain is ADA.

The main difference between Ethereum and Cardano is that Cardano supports both smart contracts and Proof of Stake.

This makes Cardano much more energy efficient than both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Cardano launched smart contracts in 2021, which opened the door to DeFi and decentralised applications.

Cardano also supports much lower transaction fees making the token more attractive for day-to-day transactions.

Cardano Rewards

Users can be rewarded with ADA by staking their digital assets (ADA). Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum there are two ways in which users can earn rewards on the Cardano network.

The first is by delegating their ADA to a stake pool run by themselves or they can delegate to a public stake pool run by someone else.

The unique thing with Cardano is users who stake their ADA do not have to lock up their ADA for a period of time. Their ADA remains in the user wallet and available to use whenever the user wishes. .

Users are not required to send their ADA to a third party to stake, just a small refundable transaction fee is required and a delegation or a ‘vote’ for the supported stake pool.

Stake pools are network nodes (computers) run by operators who much like miners get compensated for running the nodes on the network and verifying transactions. The more ADA that is delegated to a node the more likely it is that the operator will generate a new block and be rewarded.

As this system does not rely on processing speed the energy consumption is much less than that of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Cardano Scarcity

Cardano has an upper limit of 45 billion ADA. In theory, this could mean the price of Cardano will rise as the coin becomes more widely used. Currently, there are around 33 billion coins in circulation.

Some argue that this in combination with low transaction fees makes Cardano suitable for everyday transactions. Proponents of Cardano’s ecosystem argue that Cardano is a leaner, faster version of Ethereum.

Critics state that Cardano’s adoption has been slow and that Ethereum has many years of first mover advantage in its favour.

Final Thoughts

As the oldest on the block, Bitcoin does not offer smart contract functionality and its use case point to speculation or a store of value.

Ethereum and Cardano both offer smart contract capabilities which open the door to decentralised apps and DeFi. If Ethereum can move over to Proof of Stake successfully and reduce gas fees, its scalability would be increased greatly.

Cardano on the other hand has smart contracts, low transaction costs and proof of stake already in hand, so mass adoption and the creation of DApps will be the key to market domination.
