Faith, athletic drive, and the Midwestern spirit | Penn Today – Penn Today

Posted: June 11, 2022 at 12:56 am

Cam Landis grew up in Madison, Ohio, a very quintessential, small-town U.S.A., he says. Its north of Cleveland, on the south shore of Lake Erie. People know each other, show up to the football game on a Friday night. The recession hit the town hard, says Landis; employment hovers at about 60%. Still, the community works to embody the Midwestern spirit, he says everything you have you work for; your word is your bond; family comes first.

As of the 2020 Census, there were 18,492 people living in Madison. More than 90% of them were white, mostly of German and Irish ancestry, some Italian like Landis maternal grandfather. As an Ashkenazi Jew, his mothers mother was something of an anomaly in the region, says Landis. Nothing Jewish about Madison, Ohio, except for a couple of lake homeowners, he says.

Growing up, Landis went to an all-boys Catholic high school in Erie, Pennsylvania, driving an hour each way. In his senior year, he was the captain of the football team when they won the 2016 state championship for Pennsylvania, which is funny for an Ohio boy to say, Landis says. I still feel like Ive carried Madison wherever Ive gone.

His academic journey brought him to the University of Pennsylvania, where Landis graduated this May. At Penn, he majored in biological anthropology, played on the offensive line for Penns football team, walked on to the mens track and field team as a thrower, and delved into his Jewish roots at Hillel.

Honestly, what really took me to Hillel was that I heard the food was good, says Landis. The organization rents out its bottom floor to Penn Dining, which hosts Falk Dining Caf, a kosher/halal cafeteria serving everything from chicken wraps to traditional Shabbat fare like gelfite fish and kugel.

We routinely hear that the food at Hillel is the best food on campus, says Gabe Greenberg, executive director at Penn Hillel. I personally eat there all the time. Many students who come to the dining hall either dont know its kosher or its not relevant to them, Greenberg says. It lets Jewish students be themselves without having to choose between honoring different parts of their identity, he says.

When Landis would go into Hillel to eat, he says others asked if he was Jewish. Hed answered, No, but I guess technically, yeah. There was this weird kind of push-pull like, well, I dont identify as Jewish, but I guess I am, Landis says.

Traditionally, Jewish descendancy travels through the matriarchal line. If your mother is Jewish; youre Jewish. If youre mothers mothers mothers mother is Jewish, youre Jewish. Landis, a half-Irish, quarter-Italian, and quarter-Jewish kid who grew up in a secular Christian environment, celebrating Christmas and Easter but not once lighting Shabbat candles, says he was conflicted.

But Landis says he always felt welcomed. When he gave his no/yes/kind of answer, students in the Jewish Orthodox community would respond, No, you are. Dont let anyone ever tell you youre not, Landis says. I just kind of was empowered by that.

In the spring semester of his sophomore year, just before the onset of the pandemic, Landis suffered a debilitating injury, tearing his rectus abdominus and two adductors in his hip. Suddenly, the excuse that he was too busy training to learn about Judaism was gone, he says.

So, Landis went to back Hillel, this time he says not to eat but to ask if there was anyone there who could guide him as a Jew who knows nothing about being Jewish.

For Landis, that person was Gabriel Greenberg, then the rabbi and director of Hillels Jewish Renaissance Project. Landis began devoting five, six hours a week to reading, contemplation, and debate. He met with Greenberg, along with rabbis through the Jewish mentorship organization Meor, and started learning about Jewish texts.

Landis connected with the scholarly aspect of Judaism, he says. Then COVID hit, and he was still interested, even over Zoom. So, I kept kind of chugging along, he says. The spiritual inquiry, coupled with his surgery recovery, was how Landis stayed grounded during the pandemic, he says. I just kept pushing.

As a Jewish educator, it was exciting and refreshing to work with Landis, Greenberg says, a student who grew up with little association but is eager and seeking to learn more.

Landis is a deep thinker, says Greenberg. He really engages intellectually and personally and culturally and academically. He went all in, really grappling with, what can this 4,000-year old faith tradition mean to him? How can and should it look in his life? So it was really a pleasure to help support him in that journey.

Cam Grey, associate professor of classical studies and one of Landis early mentors, advised him to cast a wide net. Dont pick a destination and make yourself into that ideal candidate for a job or next step in life, but just follow your interests, he advised, and Landis applied this philosophy not only to his academic career but to his life and spiritual seeking.

This fall, Landis will start an MBA program at North Dakota State University in Fargo, a very athletically-driven decision, he says. Because of the pandemic, along with his injury, Landis has two more years of eligibility in NCAA track and field, where he will compete in discus and shot put.

I see this as the way for me to take this as far as I can and then move on in life, says Landis. I feel like I just have more to do more to give.

He spent his junior year taking classes remotely and training hard, with the goal of competing in the 2021 Israeli national championship for shot put, where Landis ultimately won bronze.

He spent the summer in Israel, working in in the Knesset, Israels parliamentary body, living in a yeshiva in Har Nof, a religious community built into the hillside on the western edge of Jerusalem, and going to clubs in Tel Aviv. He wanted to experience it all, observance and orthodoxy along with hedonism and modernity.

The fact that I was willing to let myself do that was what made the difference, Landis says. Theres always tension between these kinds of groups within Israel, he says. I felt really, honestly blessed to be able to talk and shake hands and experience both sides and feel welcomed by everybody.

Landis then had his bar mitzvah at the Western Wall, a holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem traditionally used for prayer, with his Israeli friends and a distant cousin in attendance.

I have a Jewish soul, says Landis, referencing the neshamah, described in holy texts as divine breath. He says the neshamah, the soul, is more important than any ritual or observance. Its part of him and will remain, regardless of the path his life takes. Landis says his commitment to the Jewish faith has become as much a part of his identity as his relentless curiosity and drive.

I came to Penn probably not willing to even admit to anybody I was Jewish, Landis says. Now, its hard for me to imagine a life without it.

Everything I Know About Love | Show review

This BBC Three series has been adapted from journalist Dolly Aldertons 2018 memoir of the same name, written in her late 20s about her early 20s. It has been wholeheartedly embraced by the Fleabag generation. The book charts Aldertons dalliances with some terrible men and flips the idea of the love of your life from romance to friends. Its a sweet feminist idea and it clearly struck a chord. Alderton, who has also written the TV series, is a warm-hearted soul as her agony aunt column in the Sunday Times Style magazine attests.

Maggie is the fictionalised version of Alderton, played with charisma by Emma Appleton. Her best friend since school, Birdy, is the fussy yin to Maggies uninhibited yang. Bel Powley (who is excellent in most things, especially Diary of a Teenage Girl) is given a character who is annoyingly earnest, designed to be adorable but is really just a bit of a whinger. The show follows Maggie, Birdy and their two other flatmates, Nell (MarliSiu) and Amara (Aliyah Odoffin), as they navigate early adulthood. These four share an unfeasibly chic and spacious Camden flat. A montage scene of their first night out ends with dawn over Primrose Hill, with Maggie suggesting they all roll down the hill, which they do with abandon. This scene could be a metaphor for the whole series, as not one of them manages to roll in dog poop. The show is meant to be messy but does it in quite a picturesque way hedonism forupper middle class ladies who have the luxury of deferring adulthood. They are typical millennial characters in that they are utterly obsessed with themselves and lack much self awareness; whether they are deliberately written that way is a matter for debate.

And yet, despite this, they are charming in their way. One of the best scenes in the opening episode is where Maggie gets home and does some insouciant naked dancing. Alderton says this was directly lifted from a habit she likes to indulge in; her friends call it strange and say her dancing is akin to a drunken jellyfish, but it was actually very cool and funny.

This show is not groundbreaking but it is charming and watchable.

Everything I Know About Love is released on 10th June 2022.

The Pride Movement Has Nothing to Be Proud Of – Crisis Magazine

Posted: at 12:56 am

No one can accuse the promoters of Pride Month of subtlety. When you do a Google search about it, your screen blows up in confetti and rainbow flags. There are pride parades in just about every major city in the country. Major brands honor the LGBTQI+ community with special, rainbow-styled promotions to the extent that it can be difficult to not buy something celebrating Pride. Libraries, baseball teams, celebrities, and public schools all join in on the fun.

But is there really all that much to be proud of?

Health authorities assess that the recent spread of monkeypox can be traced to a May pride event in the Canary Islands that drew 80,000 people, as well as a gay sauna in Madrid. Three cases in Belgium were also linked to a large fetish festival in Antwerp, according to event organizers. According to the CDC, its not clear how the people were exposed to monkeypox, but early data suggest that gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men make up a high number of cases.

The Associated Press cited a senior adviser to the World Health Organization who described the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox in developed countries as a random event that appears to have been caused by sexual activity at two recent raves in Europe. Most known cases in Europe have been among men who have sex with men. CNBC noted that monkeypox appears to be spreading in the [gay and bisexual] community globally. Even The Atlantic carried an article with the provocative headline: Gay Men Need a Specific Warning About Monkeypox.

This isnt exactly the kind of messaging that aligns with the family-friendly, children-friendly narrative of Pride promoters. Unlike the early days of the radical, avant-garde movement, which wanted to smash the bourgeois prisons of monogamy, capitalistic enterprise and patriotic values and bask in the warm sun of bohemian free love, Pride is now supposed to be associated with bourgeois, family values. As Rod Dreher observes, This is the dark side of this culture of freedom we have created. Monkeypox, anarchy, and the destruction of the human. If you dont think the legitimization of the sexual exploitation of children isnt coming next, you are living a fairy tale.

Speaking of which, that is exactly what the attempts to normalize the trans movement are doing. The now ubiquitous Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) gives trans persons the opportunity to perform borderline pornographic acts in front of young children. DQSHs own website explicitly says its goal is to capture the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. As I noted in an article at The Federalist, these events often involve encouraging young children to play with drag queens and their bodies.

Incidents across the country are confirming the connection between DQSH and sexual grooming. The examples we know about include the former president of an organization that served as a sponsor for the Milwaukee Drag Queen Story Hour who was charged with possessing child pornography depicting the sexual abuse of underage boys and the Houston Public Library admitting a registered child sex offender to read to kids in a DQSH event. But its not just DQSH: Pride parade participants, liberal corporate media, liberal academics, and even schools have all been seeking to normalize pedophilia.

Add to that the aggressive media and school campaigns to encourage children to explore alternative gender identities, while hiding these programs from parents. The percentage of young Americans who identify as transgender is twenty times higher than that of the baby boomer generation. The number of school-aged children who say they are experiencing gender dysphoria has dramatically increased just in the last decade. As Abigail Shrier documents in her must-read book Irreversible Damage, an entire generation of young American females are being misled by educators and other school officials into pursuing hormone treatment and/or sexual reassignment surgery that have devastating lifelong consequences.

Yet our establishment elites are actively trying to silence voices like Shrier. Her book was removed by booksellers for its dangerous content. Ethics and Public Policy Center president Ryan T. Andersons book When Harry Became Sally was delisted from Amazon, which wont sell books framing any LGBTQ+ identities as mental illnesses. Many liberals have attempted to cancel and silence author J.K. Rowling because of her comments regarding transgenderism.

Leftist-dominated academia has also evinced an intolerance toward any concern or criticism regarding LGBTQI+ ideology. An LGBTQI+ student group at the University of London a few years ago suggested sending bigots to the gulags. Brown University distanced itself from a then-assistant-professor at their School of Public Health whose research discussed the role of social factors in the rise of gender dysphoria, following widespread backlash. When research by University of Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus showed that children of gay parents fared worse than children raised by married, opposite-sex parents, UT Austin initiated an inquiry to determine whether a formal investigation is needed. (The university found no plausible grounds for an investigation and closed the inquiry.)

In effect, the LGBTQI+ community and its supporters across all elite institutionsthe media, academia, the entertainment industry, woke capitalists, federal agencieshave created an intellectual climate that is fundamentally hostile to free speech and inquiry. Research and literature, no matter how carefully nuanced, that questions these sexual dogmas is immediately and mercilessly impugned for undermining the progress of the sexual revolution. For a movement purporting to support diversity and inclusion, the record suggests otherwise.

And its not just free speech that is under threat. As Ryan Anderson explained last year, the Equality Act, if passed, would enable the federal government to use the Civil Rights Act as a sword against any establishment that provides a good, service, or program, including religious institutions and medical professionals, that refuses to cooperate with the latest dictates of sexual orientation and gender identity. And lets not forget that in 2019 Democrat Beto ORourke, now running for governor in Texas, threatened to remove the tax-exempt status from any religious institution opposed to gay marriage.

Self-destructive hedonism, sexual grooming of children, and an intolerance that seeks to coerce opponents into subjection. These are the kinds of things that define the LGBTQI+ movement. It leads one to wonder: whats there to be proud of?

8 Fashion and Shoe Trends For Summer 2022 – Footwear News

Posted: at 12:56 am

Summer 2022 has already been deemed tepid vax summer and you could say its trends are following suit. The season seems to be dominated by one idea: party time. Gone are the tie-dye hoodies, sweatpants and shorts paired with slippers. In are the Y2K-tinged looks that offer a more dressed up point of view but with a side of slick sportif and a healthy dose of irreverent, look-at-me styling (think halter necks with minis and Western boots, cargo pants and corset tops, platform sandals and mini skirt sets).

The season still offers a slice of sleepiness, however, with the nap dress carrying over to its third summer (its smocked bodices and puffy sleeves being features that many of its ardent fans refuse to give up just yet plus the allure of cottagecore remains strong). And Birkenstocks two-strap Arizona sandal (and all of its knockoffs) remains a quiet must-have for any and everyone. Its followed up by its cousin, the more evergreen Boston clog, and a whole market of sensible clogs that continue to receive a glow up from fashion brands looking to strike a balance between style and a newfound sense of comfort that even die-hard trend followers dont want to give up.

Life may be back to a tentative sense of normal this summer and people are definitely getting dressed and dressed up again. But most are still trying to figure out what their post-pandemic personal style really is. Should they lean into the Y2K revival, with all of its chaotic trends (which are also defining some of the years bad fashion)? Or step out in something ultra sexy, with cutouts, glitz and platforms galore? Or play it safe with quieter trends that allude to a sense of hesitation in the push for normalcy (or perhaps just make more sense in a work-from-home environment)?

Whatever the reason, this summer plays into an overall duality of hedonism and caution that is defining life in 2022. Herewith, a look at eight of of the top fashion and footwear trends set to dominate the summer 22 season.

Yes, this is the summer of the cutout. For spring 22 collections, designers (including LaQuan Smith, the trends ruler) werent just dreaming of freedom from pandemic living. They were dreaming of a sense of sexuality on display, bound up in a trend that aims to free the body by restricting it with bands of fabric and strategic strips of flesh.

Blame it on those Versaces. The Italian fashion houses Medusa Aevitas ankle strap platforms, done in a series of saturated, vibrant satins for fall 21 and now spring 22, have given way to a whole slew of like-minded heels, done in a slip-on mule style for summer ease and a pedestal or fluted heel for extra drama.

Here comes the Y2K, full force. This slow-burning trend may have started with Buzzfeed-style jokes about the Abercrombie & Fitch styles worn in the early aughts. But a series of street style snaps of Hailey Bieber in her own low-rise, baggy cargos mean that everyone probably has a pair of these pants in their carts right now.

The living is supposed to be easy in the summer, as the famous lyric goes. Which is probably why no one wants to give up the nap dress just yet. Its smocked bodice and loose shape is brilliantly designed to hide sweat and general discomfort from the heat, while a puffed sleeve or ruffler shoulder gives just a hint of flair. The OG Nap Dress comes from Hill House Home, but plenty of brands have riffed on a similar idea of breeziness, from Ganni and Cecilie Bahnsen in Copenhagen to Batshevas Laura Ashley collaboration. The best part about the trend? No one really cares if its a few seasons old.

Another Y2K piece (whose origins go back much further), the corsets currency depends on its styling. The garment can act as a layering piece or be worn alone, but peak summer 22 is pairing it with those low-rise, baggy cargo pants, a look that Versace perfected on the runway for its fall 21 collection. Expect to see more of it on the red carpet this fall.

What goes around comes around, again and again, and the Western boot will likely always find a space in the fashion cycle. This time its less about the early aughts (when the boot found its niche with tiered, eyelet mini skirts, denim cutoffs and low-slung hip belts for a country-lite look a l Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Carrie Underwood). Instead, theres an 80s edge to the trend, paired with leather, stirrup leggings, sleeker minis and blazers.

A holdover from the pandemic knitwear trend, crochet is the cozy sweaters wild-child cousin, its loose weave destined to make a statement by revealing more skin than its silhouette or hemline suggests. This summer, its done in everything from full-on midi and maxi dresses that evoke beachwear to mini and midi skirts (with or without panels underneath) and vintage-style crop tops. Expect crochet to carry over to next year, as resort collections such as Moschinos are already highlighting the knitwear.

Like the platform heel, the coordinated set is a long-running trend that has come to define the era. Its details and silhouettes have shifted each season, from the pantsuit to the pajama set and everything in between. This spring and summer, its the mini skirt set no doubt inspired by a summer 21 photo opp from Olivia Rodrigo in a vintage Chanel suit (complete with those towering Versace Medusas). The mini comes with a matching bra top or cropped tank and a cardigan-style jacket thats all proof of the enduring influence of Cher Horowitz from Clueless.

Missed Out on Bitcoin? Buy This Cryptocurrency Now – The Motley Fool

Posted: at 12:55 am

Despite all of the volatility, Bitcoin (BTC -2.39%) has been an incredible investment for those who have bought and held long term. Over the last five years, Bitcoin is up 1,120% and in that time it's become known as a form of digital gold.

If you missed out on Bitcoin there are still cryptocurrencies that will play a big part of our future. But the future of blockchains may not be digital gold, but rather utility that could be disruptive to everything from payment networks to the metaverse. And Solana (SOL -6.14%) is a blockchain worth investing in today.

Image source: Getty Images.

The Solana blockchain is built to be a fast, low-cost blockchain that enables innovations that would be impossible to execute on a blockchain like Ethereum (ETH -6.47%)that are built with proof of work (soon to be proof of stake) mechanisms that trade speed for security and stability.Given Solana's relatively new status and explosive growth over the last nine months, there have been growing pains like outages and slow transactions, but there have been impressive growth metrics as well.

You can see the explosion in daily active programs, or applications that have been deployed on the blockchain,below.

Image source: Solana Network Analytics.

What gets the most attention on Solana is its vast collection of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. Developers have been able to build NFT projects rapidly and use them to fund everything from art to metaverse projects built on Solana. But there's a lot going on beyond NFTs.

There are major decentralized finance apps like Raydium that allow users and projects to provide market liquidity for buyers and sellers for hundreds of tokens, often associated with NFT projects. Solana Pay is a payments layer using the Solana blockchain and a token like Solana or even USDC, which is a stable coinpegged to the U.S. dollar, meaning it's intended to hold the value of a dollar over time.

There are multiple metaverse projects being built on Solana and this may be the place to look for the future of metaverse technology. Solana's fast, low-cost transactions will make small dollar amount transactionspossible, opening up the ability to sell more digital goods or services in the metaverse than might be available on a blockchain like Ethereum where transaction costs can be a few dollars to hundreds of dollars just to buy an item.

The biggest knock on Solana right now is the outages and bot attacks that have hit the network. This has made actual performance far slower than the theoretical 50,000 transactions per second, and at times Solana has been unusable. The development team has been fixing multiple bugs in updates with validators for months.

While these are very serious concerns, they are not unexpected. Ethereum went through similar issues early in its existence, including a 3.6 million Ether hack in 2016 and forks when DoS attacks impacted the blockchain. Solana grew to thousands of transactions per second in record time, which has caused growing pains. I think these technical challenges will be worked out in time, but it's unlikely Solana will execute tens of thousands of transactions per second in the near future, as some had hoped.

If you think blockchain technology will disrupt many industries and the most widely used blockchains will be fast and low cost, Solana is a likely winner. There are still many bugs to be fixed and performance issues to be worked out, but developers have chosen Solana at a rapid rate and investors are pouring money into the ecosystem, making this a cryptocurrency to bet on.

Mad Money’s Jim Cramer Offers Advice on Cryptocurrency Investing Featured Bitcoin News – Bitcoin News

Posted: at 12:55 am

The host of Mad Money, Jim Cramer, has some advice for cryptocurrency investors. I would never discourage you from buying crypto, he said, adding that he himself owns ethereum.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, gave some advice regarding cryptocurrency investing on CNBC Make It Wednesday. Cramer is a former hedge fund manager who co-founded Thestreet.com, a financial news and literacy website.

I think crypto should be part of a persons diversified portfolio, he began, elaborating:

I cant tell you not to own crypto. I own crypto. I own ethereum.

He explained that he bought ether (ETH) because he wanted to buy a non-fungible token (NFT) for a charity. But, they wouldnt let me do dollars, he noted. I had to buy it in ethereum, so I researched it, and its got some qualities I like: scarcity value, not as hot so to speak as bitcoin (BTC). So, I bought it.

While noting that crypto is speculative, he said it is okay to invest in speculative assets. However, he stressed, You must admit that its speculative, emphasizing: Dont put it in the Procter & Gamble class. Its not Coca-Cola. Its not Apple.

He further noted that ever since crypto came along, he has been recommending putting 5% of portfolios in crypto and 5% in gold, instead of putting 10% in gold.

While he admitted that he has no idea what the value of crypto will be, he acknowledged that many people have made a fortune with crypto. You have every right to try to make money in crypto, he said, adding:

I would prefer that you would do it in ethereum or bitcoin, which have the largest followings I would be careful.

Cramer further warned that investors should not borrow money to buy crypto. Borrow for your house, borrow for your car but dont borrow for crypto, the Mad Money host emphasized, concluding:

I would never discourage you from buying crypto because of all the fortunes that have been made there, and how it could make a whole new group of people fortunes Id like that to be you.

What do you think about Jim Cramers comments? Let us know in the comments section below.

A student of Austrian Economics, Kevin found Bitcoin in 2011 and has been an evangelist ever since. His interests lie in Bitcoin security, open-source systems, network effects and the intersection between economics and cryptography.

Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin: Here’s What to Know – The New York Times

Posted: at 12:55 am

Jump to:A Bitcoin is a digital token that can be sent electronically from one user to another, anywhere in the world.

A Bitcoin can be divided out to eight decimal places, so you can send someone 0.00000001 Bitcoin. This smallest fraction of a Bitcoin the penny of the Bitcoin world is referred to as a Satoshi, named after the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is also the name of the payment network on which this form of digital currency is stored and moved. Unlike traditional payment networks such as Visa, the Bitcoin network is not run by a single company or person. The system is run by a decentralized network of computers around the world that keep track of all Bitcoin transactions, similar to the way Wikipedia is maintained by a decentralized network of writers and editors.

Bitcoin was introduced in 2008 by a creator who goes by the name Satoshi Nakamoto, who communicated with the rest of the world only by email and social messaging. While several people have been identified as possibly being Satoshi, the identity of the real Satoshi has not been confirmed.

Satoshi created the original rules of the Bitcoin network and then shared the software with the rest of the world in 2009. The inventor largely disappeared from the public two years later. Once Satoshi had released the software, anyone could download and use it. This means Satoshi has no more control over the network now than anyone else.

The computers involved in Bitcoin mining are in a sort of computational race to process new transactions coming onto the network, solving complex math problems that require quintillions of numerical guesses per second. The winner of that race generally the person with the fastest computers gets a chunk of new Bitcoins. Since miners can earn rewards but are independent, this process is meant to incentivize participation and maintenance.

There is generally a new winner about every 10 minutes, and this will continue until there are 21 million Bitcoins in the world. At that point, no new Bitcoins will be created. The network is expected to reach that cap in 2140.

Every Bitcoin in existence was created through this method and initially given to a computer helping to maintain the records. In Bitcoins early years, a crypto enthusiast could mine coins by running software on a laptop. But as the digital assets have become more popular, the amount of power necessary to win the race and generate Bitcoins has soared. A single Bitcoin transaction now requires more than 2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, or enough energy to sustain the average U.S. household for 73 days, according to some estimates.

The original blockchain was the database on which all Bitcoin transactions were stored. It was named blockchain because the transactions coming onto the network were grouped into blocks of data and then chained together using sophisticated math.

After the Bitcoin blockchain had operated for a number of years, successfully storing every Bitcoin transaction and surviving numerous attacks from hackers, many programmers and entrepreneurs wondered if its design could be replicated to create other kinds of secure ledgers unrelated to Bitcoin.

Companies and governments that dont rely on currency have since begun using blockchain technology to store their data. Banks are building blockchains that can track payments between accounts, while governments are experimenting with using blockchains to store property records and votes.

Founded in San Francisco in 2012, Coinbase allows people and companies to buy and sell various digital currencies, including Bitcoin. In April 2021, Coinbase became the first major cryptocurrency company to list its shares on a U.S. stock exchange.

Coinbase set itself apart from other early blockchain businesses by becoming one of the first to get a new special license, called the BitLicense, to run a virtual currency company in New York. In addition to providing the brokerage service for small investors, Coinbase also runs an exchange called GDAX, which is tailored to larger investors.

The most well-known cryptocurrencies are Ether, Dogecoin and Tether.

Ether is the virtual currency used on the global computing network Ethereum, which operates according to rules defined by Ethereum software. Those rules allow the Ethereum network to be programmed to complete certain types of computing tasks, with every computer on the network completing the tasks simultaneously to ensure they are done correctly. Generally, the tasks involve money.

The creator of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, has likened the network to a global smartphone that can be programmed to operate according to the apps built on top of it. The apps are called Dapps because they are run by a decentralized network of computers.

Mr. Buterin was inspired by Bitcoins success to create Ethereum. But he set out to build something that could do more than Bitcoin: He wanted to build a system that would make it possible to program more complex financial transactions. With Ethereum, two companies can conduct transactions, such as settling a stock option on a shared computer, that allows them both to check the records.

Dogecoin was created as a parody of cryptocurrency in 2013 by two friends who had met in a chat room. Named after a meme of an expressive dog, Dogecoin was meant to mock the self-serious cryptocurrencies of the time, many of which never took off. The joke did, though, and it spawned a community of enthusiasts who have kept it alive for years.

Tether is the largest stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency that is typically pegged to an existing government-backed currency. It is roughly half-invested in a type of short-term corporate debt called commercial paper.

DeFi is an umbrella term for the part of the crypto universe that is geared toward building a new, internet-native financial system, using blockchains to replace traditional intermediaries like banks and trust mechanisms. It has allowed crypto businesses to move into more traditional banking territory, offering services such as lending and borrowing.

Investors can earn interest on their holdings of digital currencies often a lot more than they could on cash deposits in a bank or borrow with crypto as collateral to back a loan. Crypto loans generally involve no credit checks since transactions are backed by digital assets.

To send or receive money in the traditional financial system, you need intermediaries like banks or stock exchanges. In DeFi, those middlemen are replaced by software. As people trade directly with one another, blockchain-based smart contracts do the work of making markets, settling trades and ensuring that the entire process is fair and trustworthy.

An NFT is basically a way to claim ownership of a digital file: You can think of it as a certificate of authenticity you might get if you buy an expensive sculpture. The sculpture can be copied, forged or even stolen, but because you have the certificate of authenticity, you can theoretically prove that you are the owner of the original.

NFTs make digital artworks unique and, therefore, sellable. Artists, musicians, influencers and sports franchises can use them to monetize digital goods that were previously cheap or free. The technology also responds to the art worlds need for authentication and provenance in an increasingly digital world, permanently linking a digital file to its creator.

The technology for NFTs has been around since the mid-2010s but became mainstream in late 2017 with CryptoKitties, a site that allowed people to buy and breed limited-edition digital cats with cryptocurrency. Since then, investors have begun buying and trading NFTs, often for eye-popping prices.

To promise holders that every $1 they put in will remain worth $1, stablecoin issuers hold a bundle of assets in reserve, usually short-term securities such as cash, government debt or commercial paper.

Stablecoins are useful because they help lock in value at the time of transaction. This is important since cryptocurrencies are volatile and prone to price fluctuations. They form a bridge between traditional money and crypto, and are exploding in popularity as a practical and cheap way to make transactions in cryptocurrency.

But many stablecoins are built more like slightly risky investments than like the dollars-and-cents cash they claim to be. And, so far, they are slipping through regulatory cracks.

Regulators are concerned about stablecoins because they have exploded in popularity very quickly, and because many are backed by traditional reserves, they could and trigger a kind of bank run that would potentially pose risks in the wider financial system. There is also no consistent oversight of issuers or a standard for reserves, and as such different stablecoin issuers have different types of reserve backing, including more or less cash, treasuries, commercial paper, etc.

There are a few kinds of stablecoins, including these digital assets backed by traditional reserves, others are collateralized by crypto and, finally, algorithmic stablecoins. The risk in algorithmic stablecoins which depend on a mathematical formula devised by issuers and investor interest to maintain stability was demonstrated in May when Terra/Luna crashed after the assumptions the algorithm was premised on did not pan out in the market and investors fled.

At its core, web3 aims to replace centralized corporate platforms with open protocols and decentralized, community-run networks. The term has been around for years, but it has become trendy in the past year or so. Packy McCormick, an investor who helped popularize web3, has defined it as the internet owned by the builders and users, orchestrated with tokens.

Web3 is seen as the next evolution of web1 (the era in the 1990s and early 2000s during which the internet was made up of blogs, message boards and early portals like AOL and CompuServe) and web2 (a phase starting around 2005 or so, characterized by social media behemoths like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube).

Proponents envision that web3 will take many forms, including decentralized social networks, play-to-earn video games that reward players with crypto tokens, and NFT platforms that allow people to buy and sell pieces of digital culture. The more idealistic ones say web3 will transform the internet as we know it, upending traditional gatekeepers and ushering in a new, middleman-free digital economy.

But some critics believe that web3 is little more than a rebranding effort for crypto, with the aim of shedding cryptos reputation as a place for rogues and rebels and convincing people that blockchains are the next phase of computing. Others believe its a dystopian vision of a pay-to-play internet in which every activity and social interaction becomes a financial instrument to be bought and sold.

Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin: Here's What to Know - The New York Times

Whats up with celebrities and cryptocurrency? – Marketplace

Posted: at 12:55 am

The values of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum have plunged in recent months. And with the crash, some celebrities who have advertised cryptocurrencies have come under fire for encouraging people to invest in them.

Emily Stewart, senior correspondent at Vox, wrote about the relationship between celebrities and financial products and services. She spoke with Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal about the endorsement relationship. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.

Kai Ryssdal: Celebrities endorse stuff all the time. Why is that money endorsement relationship kind of different?

Emily Stewart: Well, I think its one thing if a celebrity tells you to buy a bag of chips, right? You dont like the chips, theyre gross, fine. But when its your money, its a little bit of a different story. Its obviously a little bit higher stakes than chips that you dont like.

Ryssdal: Can we talk then about specifically crypto, which is the thing that honestly, you know, back during the Super Bowl and Matt Damon and fortune favors the brave and all this. And now crypto is tanking and Im going, How do you feel now, Matt Damon? He probably isnt too worried about it, but the people who bought crypto because Matt Damon said fortune favors the brave are kind of out of luck.

Stewart: Right. I mean, I think it goes without saying, you know, not always a great idea to follow celebrities into any investment. Celebrities are rich, for reasons having nothing to do with their crypto investments. Whether that be Reese Witherspoon or Tom Brady or Larry David, I would venture to guess that these people have investment managers who probably tell them not to do a ton of crypto. But, you know, we really did see, I think, at the beginning of the year and late last year just a ton of celebrities really diving into crypto. And it really kind of mainstreamed crypto in a way that to me felt a little bit different. And I think a lot of people, you know, got really excited and kind of didnt realize that crypto has historically gone through these boom and bust cycles. And right now we are in a bit of a crypto winter, I guess.

Ryssdal: Does it work? I mean, does Tom Brady doing whatever that weird plug in ad thing was, I dont even remember, but does that make people buy crypto?

Stewart: I mean, its hard to say. You know, Morning Consult did a survey that found that about 20% of investors and 45% of crypto owners said that they would invest in cryptocurrency if famous people endorsed it. That was behind financial advisers and family members or business reporters. But thats not nobody. And I think kind of more broadly, like I said before, there is this mainstreaming of it. Like maybe I didnt see the Tom Brady ad or the Larry David ad and then buy bitcoin or whatever. But it does kind of put it more into the water stream in a way that maybe I start to think about it.

Ryssdal: So look, the first time I heard about that Matt Damon ad which, you know, many Super Bowl ads are released, you know, a day or two in advance, whatever but even if you didnt watch the Super Bowl, you saw that Matt Damon fortune favors the brave ad somewhere in your social feed. And thats got to be the multiplier.

Stewart: Right. Thats the thing, its kind of everywhere. And you see this stuff all the time, where just maybe, you know, its not a single commercial that youve saw, but just, it kind of gets in there. Even last year, I had friends who never in their lives asked me anything about investing suddenly saying, like, Hey, but I need to make some quick money. Do you think I should get into crypto? And the answer there is like absolutely not. And if youre asking me about it, it is way too late.

Understanding the Wealth-Creating Power of Cryptocurrency – InvestorPlace

Posted: at 12:55 am

Well, one thing is for sure: Nothing is going to be the same in the crypto market after this year.

Perhaps the most jarring example of the bearish crypto market this year has been the complete collapse of Terra (LUNA).

As you can see, its not pretty. The coin lost 98% of its value or around $40 billion, in a matter of hours.

While this drop was shocking for a lot of crypto investors (and rightfully so), it just goes to show that value destruction can happen to even the biggest cryptos out there.

The sister token to TerraUSD (UST) an algorithmic stablecoin pegged the U.S. Dollar exposed a major fault within the crypto industry: under-collateralization.

However, my team and I dont see this as fault. Instead, we see it as an opportunity of what to look for and what to avoid.

I firmly believe cryptos and blockchain in general represent some of the most promising innovations of our time. But just like the internet before it, this shift wont happen overnight.

Long-term, I am extremely bullish on cryptocurrencies. But this cryptocurrency bubble must reach its natural conclusion the same way the dot-com boom of 2000 did with an enormous crash.

While this may be the beginnings of the big one for cryptocurrencies, this crash isnt the end. Its far from it.

This is the beginning of the Cryptocurrency Revolution. Its the end of bad cryptos just built on hype and the emergence of strong ones made with world-changing tech.

We have strong cause to believe this, including using Gartners Hype Cycle. It teaches us that new technologies go through five phases:

The stages are represented graphically in the following chart.

We believe cryptos are somewhere in the Peak of Inflated Expectations phase. Big-name cryptocurrencies will begin to fail, and the mainstream media will begin writing about these failures.

Over the coming months to years, well enter the Trough of Disillusionment. This is where thousands of cryptos will fail. And several hundred billion dollars of value will be wiped out.

Investors who are smart here will make millions.

After the Trough of Disillusionment comes the Slope of Entitlement, swiftly followed by the Plateau of Productivity.The big money is made in these phases.

There, the wheat is separated from the chaff, and true visionaries and innovators in a new technology emerge.

During the internet era, this durable growth phase started in 2003. In that time, companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Facebook and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) used the internet to create second- and third-generation products and services that would go on to change the world.

Cryptos will follow the same path.

You could do a lot worse than buying Bitcoin at this price. But theres a much bigger opportunity at hand

Indeed, you could domuch betterin several of Bitcoins smaller cryptocurrency cousins.

In fact, there are a handful of very small coins that could soar more than 31 times that of Bitcoin.

Thats right. If youre poised to make $10,000 in BTC, you could make 31 times that $310,000 in its tiny cousins.

Or if youre poised to make $100,000 in BTC, you could make $3.1 million instead.

The million-dollar question is:What are the best cryptocurrencies to buy today that have enormous long-term upside potential?These are the ones that could help you achieve total financial freedom in a very short time.

I urge you to learn about this huge story. Ill teach you about the transformative technology of altcoins. And Ill share how to leverage this undercurrent of cryptocurrency innovation to set yourself up for life-changing returns.

Right now, theres a fuse being lit under the altcoin market. And itll set off one of the largest explosions of wealth in modern history. People who invest modest stakes in altcoins will make millions of dollars.

To truly realize the magnitude of this opportunity, you must understand that altcoins are different than how most perceive them.

These assets arent fantasy internet money. And many are about to skyrocket thousands of percent.

Theyre investments in one of the most valuable, most revolutionary technologies ever created.

And theyll generate a multi-trillion-dollar tsunami of wealth for their owners.

Remember; the underlying technology behind Bitcoin and altcoins isthe blockchain.

You can think of cryptocurrency and the blockchain like a virtual ledger.

But I prefer to say blockchain technologies are justreally, really, reallyvaluable software programs.

Now, if youve paid attention to the stock market over the past30 years,you should be ready to jump out of your chair and buy altcoins with both hands right now.

Thats because software programs are the oil of the 21st century. They are one of the greatest forces for wealth creation on Earth.

In the 20th century, the discovery of oil deposits around the world minted millionaires faster than anyone could count.

It was one of the fastest, biggest accumulations of wealth in history. People went from being broke to having more money than their grandkids could ever spendvirtually overnight.

When I say software programs are of the greatest forces for wealth creation, Im not talking about conventional wealth creation. That takes 30 years to save up $1 million.

Im talking about wealth creationon steroids, where Investors can make $30 million inone year. I know that sounds outlandish, but lets look at the amazing facts right in front of us.

Bill Gates became one of the worlds richest men because of software programs. Just think about the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) spreadsheet program we call Excel.

How much time did Excel save the human race a billion years, 10 billion years?

Excel is now the worlds most popular spreadsheet program. By allowing us to automate calculations and financial analysis, it has saved us incredible amounts of time. We no longer have to do single calculations by hand.

One person running Excel can do the work of a million accountants from days past.

Software programs have incredible power. And its spread across all industries.

Over the past 30 years, software programs have created an explosion of efficiency and human productivity. Great software can help you make smart business decisions, find travel deals, talk to loved ones, and get a cheap ride home.

It has massively improved our ability to communicate, share information, complete transactions, and gather and analyze data.

Think about health care, education, transportation, manufacturing, energy production, food production, retail, banking, you name it. Computer programs have allowed us to do it all much more efficiently.

Good software has saved us so much time, money and frustration. Its no wonder its kicked off one of the largest, fastest accumulations of wealth in human history.

In 1986, computer program leader Microsoft went public. Shares are up more than 1,185% since then.

Computer program leader Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) went public in 1986 as well. Oracle founder Larry Ellison is one of the worlds richest people, worth over $90 billion.

In 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google and created the worlds most valuable search engine program. Both are now worth more than $90 billion each. And their early backers made billions, as well.

Software programs have become the worlds ultimate wealth creators. Thats because we all place enormous value on their ability to save us time and headaches. And its also because theyve made us massively more productive.

Which brings me to my million-dollar point.

Blockchain technology is about to unleash an epic new wave of computer program wealth.

Real altcoins arent anything like fantasy internet money, as theyre portrayed in the press. Investments in the best of them are investments in the next generation of revolutionary software programs.

Big picture, blockchain allows for disintermediation across all industries. Its arguably the most disruptive technology since the internet. And at its core is its centralized and immutable ledger.

This ledger enables innately untrustworthy entities to create trustworthy systems, all without the need for any central authority.

Blockchain enables folks to remove the middleman from legacy systems and replace them with a collective ledger.

Now why would we do that? Because middlemen are often unnecessary profit-takers.

Further, theyre sometimes subject to corruption (see: the financial crisis of 08).

By removing and replacing them with an automated and incorruptible technology, we can make todays systems and processes cheaper, faster, and more trustworthy.

The applications here are theoretically infinite. One that Wall Street is currently drooling over is decentralized finance (DeFi). With cryptocurrency, we can create a new era offinancethat doesnt involve big banks as profit-taking intermediaries.

And DeFi is the future.

After all, its intended to disintermediate banks, like Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Those are multi-hundred-billion-dollar companies. The disruption opportunity is huge.

But theres a much, much bigger opportunity in disintermediating technology titans like Alphabet and Amazon, who are trillion-dollar companies.

Thats why I love the idea of dApps, or decentralized applications.

DApps are software applications built on the blockchain. And this can be anything. Think a video media application like YouTube, a driver-rider app like Uber (NYSE:UBER), a music streaming app like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT).

These apps are coded on the blockchain. And therefore, theres no central authority that runs and profits from the app, either via subscription sales or digital ads. By removing that central authority, dApps create a new generation of truly free software applications.

Oftentimes, these dApps have underlying cryptocurrencies. Theyre used as a form of in-app currency or incentive token for developers and blockchain participants.

The appreciating value for these cryptos represents the economic value of the dApp. Instead of developers profiting from digital ad sales, they make money by owning the dApps cryptocurrency. And that rises in value as more folks use the platform.

I firmly believe that dApps will disrupt everything. The future YouTubes, Ubers and Spotifys will be dApps. In fact, most, if not all, apps in the future will be dApps.

During the internet craze of the late 90s and early aughts, the companies that succeeded did something very simple.

They didnt reinvent the wheel or create brand-new industries.

They just digitized what was already workingin the physical world.

Malls were working. So,Amazondigitized malls and turned intothedigital mall.

Movie theaters were working. So,Netflixdigitized movie theaters and turned intothedigital movie theater.

The winning playbook in the dot-com boom was astoundingly simple. Find something thats working in the physical economy anddigitize it.

And the winning playbook in the Cryptocurrency Boom will be equally simple. Find something thats working in the digital economy anddecentralize it. The cryptocurrencies that dothisthe best will turn into 100X investment opportunities over the next decade.

When you shift your perspective on altcoins, you realize that theyre not fantasy internet money. Theyre investments in systems that make our lives easier, more productive, and more efficient.

Investing in the best altcoins now is like taking an early stake inAdobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) in 1998. It created the hugely popular PDF program. And the stock has soared 3,809% since then.

Thats why well be holding an emergency briefing on June 14 at 7 p.m. Eastern. Well discuss how the phenomenon plaguing the crypto markets recently could spark the minting of a new wave of millionaires.

Despite all the negative headlines weve been seeing, a new day is dawning. And a select few off-the-radar coins will emerge as the new leaders of the cryptocurrency markets.
