Bitcoin: Beyond The Bubble | Bitcoin Documentary | Cryptocurrencies | Crypto News | Blockchain

 With the advent of Bitcoin, the world's premier digital currency, for the first time in history money is no longer controlled by banks or governments, but by the people who use it. But where did this currency come from? How does it work? And is it truly the way forward, or just a flash in the pan?

Inside Iceland's Massive Bitcoin Mine

Created by a shadowy, mysterious figure – or perhaps group – going by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin is one of a number of cryptocurrencies that are created via computer processes which use raw mathematics and sheer computational horsepower to underwrite the value of transactions. As opposed to conventional monetary systems, which are backed by central banks, cryptocurrencies rely on the mathematical certitude of a decentralized ledger, known as a blockchain.

 

About a decade ago the first proper ‘real world’ bitcoin transaction took place, when one Laszlo Hanyecz infamously purchased two hot and  juicy Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Those 10,000 coins were only worth, at the time, around $40. Delicious as the pizzas no doubt were, if he’d only kept hold of those bitcoins they’d by now be worth somewhere north of 280 million dollars. 

Why has a chilly island in the north Atlantic become a crucial frontier in the occult, high-stakes world of crypto currency mining? An unremarkable looking cluster of sheds on the western cluster of the Nordic nation might just hold the answer. So join us today as we follow the money and take a peek inside Iceland’s insane bitcoin super mine.

NHS in Danger - Covid-19: Rapid tests for asymptomatic people to be rolled out

Another test. Another failure. The founder’s of NHS would be disgusted to see what our politicians have done to it. The NHS is in trouble because of 10 years of austerity and cut backs and mis-management at the top levels, not the virus.

 
 
Regular rapid testing for people without coronavirus symptoms will be made available across England this week. One of the viewer commented, "Intelligent people of the world, CORRECT your knowledge on the understanding of a healthy blood microbiome . This will bring a lot of clarification to  your health issues. Including today’s. Enough lies that your immune system cannot protect us, it’s protecting us fine in the poor countries, your all over medicated, here it’s a luxury, when are we going to challenge big pharma!".
