Bitcoin Boom or Bust? Bitcoin Regulations In The US & UK

The current scenario of bitcoin will not satisfy you if you are unaware of its all-time high price in 2021. Bitcoin was over $65,000 in 2021 and now it is over $21,000. Yes, that is quite low. But it is natural for bitcoin now because the world has seen so many ups and downs in its journey. That’s why bitcoin is known as the most volatile cryptocurrency. 

The scenario in the beginning:

The currency bitcoin has gained massive popularity throughout the world in just a decade. It was started in the year 2008 when the whole world was suffering from critical financial inflation. In 2008, US lending institutions started doing unethical activities behind the back of their customers. Day after day, some other financial institutions also started doing the same. 

The activities had a bad impact on the economic system and the whole system crashed on 15the September 2008 when one of the most famous financial institutes the Lehman brothers declared it bankrupt. As a result of it, the whole world came under a big financial crisis that is known as global financial inflation.

This incident results in a loss of people’s hope and trust in the traditional banking system and it was a proper time when bitcoin was introduced to the world. On 3rd January 2009, a pseudonymous person Satoshi Nakamoto launched the historical digital currency bitcoin with a feature of decentralization and successfully grabbed people’s attention towards it because decentralization offered them not to rely on banks and governments anymore for fund transfer. 

 

Bitcoin Mania: How The US And UK Are Reacting To The Cryptocurrency

 

The current scenario in the US:

Bitcoin is a global currency. It is the same in any corner of the world and doesn’t create any other rules for countries’ barriers. The price only differs as per the ratio of the fiat currency that is legal in the particular country. In the US, bitcoin also provides the same general facility like decentralization, open-sourced networks, fast transactions, low-cost fund transfer, data security, and all. Below are some points that tell about the current position that these amazing features of bitcoin gained in the US.

 

  1. According to some studies, the US is one of the greatest hubs of bitcoin because it holds a quarter of the total bitcoins in the world that are being traded. And, it has not stopped here. The number of bitcoin investors in this country is increasing day by day.
  2. Another study tells that, every nine people out of ten know about bitcoin. You can make an idea with this information about the spread of bitcoin in the US.
  3. Bitcoin is legal in the US and you have so many facilities with it. You can buy it, trade it, and utilize it for buying stuff and services. These are easy in the US because so many trading applications provide the facilities to do so. One such is crypto engine which you can also try out.
  4. In the US you can find so many bitcoin ATMs that facilitate you buying and selling bitcoins as well as other cryptocurrencies and withdrawing cash.

 

The current scenario in the UK:

As we have said, bitcoin is the same in any corner of the world this is the same in the UK too. Let’s see what the mind-blowing features of bitcoin are achieved in this country.

 

  1. In the UK, bitcoin is also legal and nearly 2 million people in the year 2022 have bitcoins in their holdings. Among the total amount of bitcoin holding in the UK, a large portion is captured by bitcoin which is 60%.
  2. There are almost 81 crypto ATMs that facilitate bitcoin transactions and bitcoin trading.
  3. Over 500 companies in the UK accept crypto payments including bitcoin. So, buying goods and services with bitcoin is also easy in the UK just like in the US.

 

Conclusion

So, bitcoin is a good sight of the citizens of the US and UK. And as per experts, more people will show interest in it in the future as cryptocurrency really brought the world a convenient, safe, and fast payment network that goes with the modern fast forward world.

DAACI AI-Music Composition Tool Wins Grant from Innovate UK

Groundbreaking AI music composition tool DAACI has won a grant of over a quarter of a million pounds from Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.

DAACI joins an illustrious list of past Innovate UK grant recipients, including BMW, HSBC, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as most other major universities. To illustrate, competition for the coveted Innovate UK grant was so high in its previous round that less than 10% of applicants succeeded.

DAACI excelled in all qualifying categories. Its proposal demonstrates DAACI’s rising status as game-changing, innovative, disruptive, and ambitious. It evidenced its plan to deliver a significant economic impact in terms of ROI, emphasising its potential to positively impact creative productivity and the UK economy more broadly.

Through their smart grants, Innovate UK drives productivity and economic growth by supporting businesses to develop and realise the potential of new ideas. They have awarded £25million for game-changing and commercially viable R&D innovation that can significantly impact the UK economy.

Innovate UK’s assessors returned exceptional feedback on DAACI’s proposal, stating, “The proposal contributes to the UK’s position as a leader in music, based on highly innovative technology to create original music, adaptive to a wide range of consumer preferences.

Reshaping the e-scooter – introducing bo

Today, UK micromobility startup bo announces its first product, the bo M. bo M is a radical rethink and total redesign of the e-scooter, introducing the single biggest innovation leap in scooter technology: Safesteer™.

With electric scooters traditionally seen as unsafe and unreliable, bo exists to set new standards in safety, comfort and design. bo M is the world’s first electric scooter focused on empowering people to transition out from their cars.

“We spent 3 years developing the bo M for everyone who can see the potential of the e-scooter, but who finds today’s scooters too unsafe, impractical for daily use, or simply not well designed” says Oscar Morgan, bo CEO. “Our mission has been to develop game-changing features and safety enhancements such as Safesteer, whilst using our experience in automotive design to build a scooter people feel proud to own and ride. 

Grounded in safety, bo M features Safesteer™ riding stabilisation alongside the 360 degree Light Halo system. For unrivalled comfort the bo M uses Airdeck and refined vehicle geometry with a generous wheelbase, optimised steerer angle and wide handlebars. Finally, challenging traditional scooter design, the unique bo Monocurve chassis and seamless feature integration combine to deliver an exceptional commuting experience.

The new safety standard  | SafesteerTM    

A world first in electric scooters, bo is introducing active riding stabilisation with SafesteerTM  technology, setting the benchmark for control and confidence.

The technology stabilises and smoothes the steering across bumps, dips and potholes to keep the rider in perfect control.
This fundamental shift in vehicle dynamics means the single greatest concern of new and experienced e-scooter riders is eliminated.

Light Signature  | 360 Light Halo
360 degree Light Halo and high power headlight for forward visibility

bo’s distinctive Daytime Running Light (DRL) wraps around the Monocurve chassis to create Light Halo, a world first in the sector: 360 degree light visibility. This signature design dramatically increases road presence and awareness from other road users.

Alongside Light Halo, a powerful secondary headlight illuminates the road ahead, while a wide-angle high-lumen rear light keeps you seen from behind, flashing brightly when users brake.

Comfort | Airdeck

Searching for an optimised solution to ride comfort led to bo M’s engineered elastomer Airdeck, based on the same material technology found in high performance running trainers. The lightweight deck panel is tuned to remove road vibrations – removing the need for complex and ineffective suspension systems.

With 50km of range, all day riding comfort is the priority: Airdeck, plus wide pneumatic tyres keep the road bumps out. Additionally, the bo M geometry is optimised for stability and ergonomics, including wider handlebar at 580mm, a generous 930mm wheelbase for more standing room, and a 76 degree steering angle for naturally controlled dynamics.

Punctures are a common commuter concern, so the bo M is specified with high quality tubeless pneumatic tyres – eliminating pinch punctures and maximising grip on the road.

The shape of things to come | Monocurve chassis

Reshaping the electric scooter with bo’s unique Monocurve chassis represents a foundational shift in vehicle design and engineering – the single greatest sector advancement since electric scooters arrived in our cities.

Alongside strength and reliability, bo M’s aluminium chassis has been designed to enable every innovation, from Safesteer to Lock and Load, Light Halo to Airdeck, without adding complexity for the user.

The unbroken Monocurve chassis is the first structure in this sector designed to true automotive principles, seamlessly combining function with design

Harry Wills, bo CTO added, “Aware that to some it is controversial, we made a conscious decision to eliminate the fold, launching bo M with an unbroken Monocurve chassis.

“bo M is designed for commuters travelling home to work who value exceptional ride, safety and reliability above all else. Creating this new category, between a traditional e-scooter and an e-bike, our research discovered that the majority of people seldom or never use the fold. It represented a point of weakness, so that directed us to this final design”

Bags of potential | Lock and Load

E-scooter riders no longer have to be restricted to a backpack. The bo Monocurve chassis does not twist as you steer, keeping luggage hooked on the two secure load hooks stable and swing-free while you ride.

The hidden, built-in steel dual mount system doubles as a locking point – making it simple to secure the bo M with confidence using a standard D-lock. For full peace of mind should the owner lose sight of their bo M, the bosecure system of GPS tracking, motor locking, loud anti-tamper alarms and mobile notifications kick in.

The bo M is available for pre-order from bo.world. RRP £1,995 or £69 p/m. Shipping Spring ‘23

How to Start a Company in the UK: Legal Side of the Business

So you’re thinking about starting a business. Well done! Starting a business is the best way to escape the nine-to-five rat race and live the entrepreneurial dream. But it’s not as easy as it looks. There are a lot of legal hoops to jump through, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

So we’ve come up with a checklist to help you with the process – you might find some of these steps familiar, but we hope they can help you start your company with some extra guidance. So keep reading and have all your questions answered — be it about opening a UK bank account for non resident running a small business or obtaining a licence.

1. Research What You Want to Do

What kind of business is this going to be? Do you have the resources to back it up? If not, can you get them? If you’re starting a new business, have you spoken to a few other companies who’ve done something similar? It’s not enough to just say: “I want to run a business, let’s do it!” You need to know what you’re doing and why. You need to think about your business strategy, financials, marketing, and how it will work – all these things, plus the nuts and bolts of getting it all running. 

2. Make a Plan

Once you’ve done your research, it’s time to put everything into a plan. Before you start working out how you’re going to start your business, it’s a good idea to do the following:

 

  • Draft a business plan — Whether you’re a web designer, a doctor, a mechanic or just starting your own business, this is going to be the backbone of your company. A business plan will tell your story. What will it be about? How much will you charge? Who will you work with? Will it be a home-based business, a franchise, or a business registered with a third-party provider? 
  • Determine the legal structure of your business — This is a way of dividing ownership of your business between you and the company — whether it’s a sole trader, limited company, or partnership. Different rules apply to each type of company, but each has its benefits;
  • Draft a company constitution — Some people will want their company to operate on a different basis to their personal life, so it’s worth having a look at the legal implications of how you want your business to run. There are certain things you won’t be able to do as an individual – like buying or selling property, or trading on a particular market – that are fine if you operate as a limited company;

3. Register Your Business

Some businesses have to register with the local authority to get started. This could be to check whether there’s anyone on the electoral roll, or it could be to make sure you’re registered with HMRC or VAT number to file any tax returns.

4. Check the Health of the Local Economy

A healthy local economy means there’s a good number of potential customers in the area, and local businesses are likely to give you support. You’ll want to find out what other companies are operating in your area. Think about local industries. Are there any that are in decline? Has the same industry been making a profit for years and years, or have things been changing? How healthy is the surrounding area’s public transport system? Is the road network, shops, schools, and recreational facilities still operating? These are all things to look out for.

5. Find out More About Local Licencing

Are there any local licencing requirements? There might be. A local business licence will be required, for example, for a bar, nightclub, restaurant, or shop selling alcohol. If you’re setting up a business to provide accommodation, such as a bed and breakfast or guest house, you may need to apply for planning permission from the local council. And if you’re planning to sell drugs, for example, you need to apply for a Class C drug licence from the local police. Check all the local licencing requirements before starting your business.

6. Know the Law and Tax Systems

Before starting your business, you need to understand the law. Most government departments, whether they’re local councils, the police, or HM Revenue & Customs, keep a register of who is who. They include all the important people who should know who they are and what they need to do. They’ll also tell you what you’ll need to do to set up your business and comply with the law.

Plan Your Effort Accordingly

Starting a company is a time-consuming process. But you can do things right by creating a plan and sticking to it closely.

 

The biggest upcoming businesses in the UK

It is impossible to predict how the commercial environment will evolve. In certain cases, industries that were dominant in one period may be unimportant in another, while specialized sectors which were insignificant 10 years ago have become the economic behemoths of our day.

In the midst of all of this upheaval, it may be difficult to determine which sectors have a promising future. After all, a person’s career is a significant investment, and they want to be certain that they are making the best decision possible when taking on a new position.

In order to shine a new light, we investigated five of the fastest-growing industries in the United Kingdom in order to demonstrate how thrilling transition can be — and to find the most promising chances for another dream job.

FinTech

The phrase ‘FinTech’ is tossed about frequently in the corporate sector, and with good reason. It stands for ‘Financial Technology,’ and it is expected to have a significant impact on the economy of the United Kingdom in 2019.

According to a poll conducted by the London Stock Exchange, FinTech businesses operating in the United Kingdom aim to expand by an astounding 88 percent between 2018 and 2021. The second most popular location, after New York, was named by 38 percent of those who responded to the study as London. This follows the government’s desire for the United Kingdom to be the world leader in progressive banking as a result of the impact of the global financial crisis of 2008.

As a consequence, it is simpler for FinTech companies headquartered in the United Kingdom to acquire capital via the stock market than it is for those based in other countries, resulting in significant development in the industry – as well as many employment possibilities.

Job opportunities in the FinTech industry are perfect for those with a history in web design or financial services. There is also lots of money available via programs such as the government’s digital startup financing competition, Innovate UK. If you want to establish your own FinTech firm, there are several opportunities for you to do so in the UK.

Online Casino Games

A few years ago, the first online gaming websites were launched. This was a far cry from the state-of-the-art platforms now in use. The best online gambling organizations began operating in the Caribbean islands at the beginning of the decade as a result of the Free Trade and Processing Act of Antigua and Barbuda. Small Caribbean island was given unprecedented powers to award licenses to companies interested in building online casinos, creating a new industry.

The inevitable progression from virtual casinos and poker rooms to online sportsbooks was a simple one. In 1996, InterTops became the first platform to provide sports fans a new way to wager on their favorite teams, and it has been in business ever since. As a consequence of InterTops’ early success and rapid growth, some of the world’s most prominent bookmakers, including William Hill and Ladbrokes, created their own casinos within two years.

Gamblers were lured to these platforms by huge bonuses and cashback packages given by these firms in the beginning. The quantity of these transactions has gradually decreased over time as the industry has matured. Take, for example, BetOnline which is a top betting site, it came out with a new promo code where you can claim $1,000 welcome bonus in 5 steps, an offer that is not easy to pass.

Transport and logistics

According to a recent report from Love Energy Savings, the transportation and logistics sector in the United Kingdom is seeing fast growth. Between 2012 and 2016, the number of companies specializing in road freight logistics increased by 229% annually.

Today, transport companies in the North West are doing exceptionally well. With a total of 15,590 transport enterprises in operation. That’s a whopping 24% more expensive than London.

Data analysis is currently the most promising career path in transportation. Since e-commerce has made logistics more sophisticated and extensive than ever before, data management will become more important in maintaining efficiency as operations expand in scope. Graduates in computer science and mathematics will be thrilled to hear this news, as they’re eager to put their skills to the test.

Digital marketing and advertising

For the last decade, the digital sales and advertising industry has grown at an exponential rate.

Advertising spending in Q3 of 2018 increased by 5.1% year over year to reach £5.6 billion, marking the 21st successive quarter of market growth.

There will be an increase in both paid and unpaid advertising, as well. Social media and article marketing services are also growing, which means that the field stays diverse enough for people with degrees in Maths, English, and Graphic Design.

Advertising spending on visual media increased by 40% in 2018 compared to 2017, making filmmakers in great demand.

Energy

The UK’s energy industry is booming, contributing £26 billion to the economy. Green energy, on the other hand, has seen the most dramatic rise. As a result of the government’s goal of using renewable resources for 15% of the country’s total energy consumption by 2020, substantial funds have been invested in UK-based sustainable energy enterprises.

As a consequence, up to 400,000 jobs might be supported by the UK’s renewables sector by the end of next year.

Mobile phone myths Brits believe the most. #5G #Apps #Security #Mobile

This is more common sense than myth, but it’s worth noting modern smartphones are designed to optimise foreground “tasks” while others harmlessly float in the background. From 5G conspiracy theories to radiation poisoning, OnBuy’s mobile phone department conducted a survey to find out the mobile phone myths Brits believe the most and asked us to share it. 

When it comes to mobile phone batteries, OnBuy found the number one thing Brits believe is: apps running in the background use up battery. In fact, 87% of those surveyed believe this is true.

While this is more common sense than myth, it’s worth remembering modern smartphones are designed to optimise foreground “tasks” while others harmlessly float in the background.

Another common belief is overcharging a phone damages the battery (39%) or charging your phone overnight is bad for it (34%).

However, contrary to popular belief, modern smartphones contain chips to prevent charge overload. If your phone uses a lithium-ion battery, the current stops once its fully charged.

Urban Myths

Worryingly, Brits admit they have heard the following urban myths – but are yet to put them to the test!
You can cook an egg by placing it between two mobile phones – 6%

Never use a mobile when there’s a lightning storm – 19%

You can charge an iPhone in 20 seconds using a microwave oven – 25%

Myths included in OnBuy.com’s survey can be seen below OR see the full blog post HERE

 

  • Apps running in the background use up battery 87%
  • A screen protector will stop your phone getting scratched 77%
  • Taking out your SIM card keeps you from being tracked 75%

  • You can dry a wet phone in a bag of rice 66%
  • Phones interfere with hospitals and planes 43%
  • Overcharging a phone damages the battery 39%
  • Charging your phone overnight is bad for it 34%
  • You shouldn’t keep your phone in the same pocket as a credit card 31%
  • Having a phone near your private parts can reduce sperm count / fertility 31%
  • Incognito mode protects your privacy 30%
  • Smartphones give off dangerous radiation 29%
  • Mobile phone use near a petrol pump can cause an explosion 26%
  • You shouldn’t use your phone while it’s charging 24%
  • A bigger battery means longer battery life 21%
  • You should drain your battery completely before charging 18%
  • Free Wi-Fi is safe to use 5%

Methodology

To achieve the results OnBuy.com sent out a survey to 3,446 British people. 50% of respondents that took part are male, 45% are female and 5% identify as “other.”

The #WindowsPhone App ignorance by the #Media is still alive #WP8 #WindowsPhone

Windows phone is growing at a steady pace and today we still see the ignorance by media as regards to mention never mind speak about the windows phone and windows ecosystem.

Early on in the year we had such a massive fail of an article titled the top 300 apps.not one of them windows,whilst there was apps in this selection for which too are present in the windows phone store,plus several top apps,the media just continue to ignore that there is a third OS which is windows phone,this is factually true.

Earlier in the year we seen a top 300 apps article,windows phone totally omitted.

So cast your mind back to this article  top 300 apps.

Not only has this media outlet failed,on windows phone,and nokia too ,another one has too several times.

Read here on that..here and here  we where completely ignored on both these articles,on site,via twitter and email.utter ignorance..

Today we come across another app article once again failing to acknowledge the windows phone OS.

And yet again its the same people in one form or another,when will these folks ever wake up?

None the less they don’t have one windows phone app and do for ios and android,yet boast about apple and new specific apps for apple products…

The best 20 mobile apps to download now..  telegraph uk

Now given that some of these apps are on windows phone ,windows phone is not once mentioned

There is multiple brilliant apps daily been announced for windows phone and its been ignored,media seem to thrive on apple and android,some of which these folks hire are of course previous apple staff etc so one wonders as to the abundance of mentions of the same products.

Time to wake up and smell the roses folks,i use android,i use windows,i use windows phone 8, i use all operating systems as i test devices,there is apps are coming,time to start mentioning them and featuring them in your one sided reports..
