Clinton: Cryptocurrencies can destabilize nations



Hillary Clinton spoke at the "Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2021" on the subject of cryptocurrencies. According to Clinton, these are underestimated and have the potential to be fatal for entire nations because they have a destabilizing effect on the economies of countries. In addition, Clinton noted that cryptocurrencies are a threat to the supremacy of the US dollar.

The former US Secretary of State is likely to have meant Bitcoin, but spoke of cryptocurrencies. The subject is bigger than Bitcoin, but only BTC is preparing to become the only decentralized and digital money that cannot be controlled by government agencies.

So in the end, Clinton shares the same position as Donald Trump, to whom she lost the 2016 presidential election. Trump also spoke out about Bitcoin during his tenure and raised the same concerns . The only new thing is the idea that Bitcoin could destabilize smaller countries.

El Salvador shows courage

The statement could have been a wink with the fence post in the direction of El Salvador. Because the country is the only one in the world that has raised Bitcoin to the status of a national currency alongside the US dollar. The USA, hand in hand with the IMF, voiced their concerns and expressly warned the small Latin American state against this experiment.

So far, however, it does not look as if El Salvador will be in a worse position with Bitcoin than without the mother of all cryptocurrencies. In fact, they want to use the geothermal power plants in the country to operate environmentally friendly Bitcoin mining. In the end, Bitcoin is not something that destabilizes the state, but an industry that the small and otherwise economically rather insignificant country turns to and develops independently. In October, El Salvador used speculative profits from trading Bitcoin to build a veterinary clinic.

Bitcoin destabilizes bad structures

The only thing that destabilizes Bitcoin is bad government and economic structures. If the global economic and monetary system were better, the “magic internet money” would hardly be attractive.

However, the signs point to a storm. Because in addition to the countries and people who have been left in the lurch, speculators from the western industrial nations are joining in. The latter want a good return and they have so far found that in Bitcoin in the long term, in decentralized finance in the medium term and very likely in the very near future, if the market for NFTs should enter a boom phase.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
