Bitcoin futures trading on Wall Street, Soars more than 20% a Day

Bitcoin futures trading on Wall Street, Soars more than 20% a Day

China has banned it, South Korea is considering whether to impose new regulations, but there is no doubt that it can not stop the huge threat of Bitcoin. Digital assets have truly become mainstream as the recent global cryptocurrency has seen a phenomenal rise, but the Bitcoin Futures transaction on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) has begun. On the first trading day, contracts that expired in January jumped from $ 15,000 to $ 18,800 to start up circuit breakers and crush the CBOE website with traffic growth.

Even if investors are hastening the first taste of cryptocurrency as a means of investment, Wall Street's seasoned campaigners are already beeping. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, is well aware of Bitcoin as a "fraud", while the leading banks, brokers and traders, the Futures Industry Association, He said.

Much like Zennon Kapron, executive director of Kapronasia, a consultancy based in Shanghai, many people use humor to explain the point. "It's rare to see more volatility than bitcoin, but we found it: a bitcoin gift
Chris Weston, chief strategist at IG Markets, did not create a framework for his aspirations for Bitcoin futures because "nobody really knows what is a profit". "People who are going to trade do not have to be a sort of people who have traded bitcoins before," he said. "Usually retail investors and those with less experience in financial markets are more likely than normal to be commodities."

CBOE is convinced that Bitcoins has no flash on the fans. He says that precautionary measures are being taken to deal with wild fluctuations, such as stopping a trade for two minutes when the price goes up or down by 10%. CBOE also said, "We will work closely with the CFTC to monitor transactions and promote the growth of a transparent, liquid and fair bitcoin futures market."

Xiaomi Mi Note 3 beats iPhone 8 in DxOMark Photo Score

Over the past few months, major smartphone manufacturers have boasted their latest flagship camera performance by advertising DxOMark scores to leapfrog each other and attract a higher number of customers. We did not get a rating for any Xiaomi phone by date, and Dxomark finally gave an amazing result for Mi Note 3.

According to DxoMark's extensive camera testing, launched in September 2017, the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 has a nice dual lens camera setting with a rating of 90. This unit includes two 12MP sensors, one standard lens with f / 1.8 aperture and a telephoto lens with f / 2.6 aperture.

This camera setup is very similar to many dual camera systems on the market today, but the Mi Note 3 works well in bright lighting conditions. To take better pictures outdoors, you can turn on HDR. This unit works well not only indoors but also in low light conditions. Thanks to DxOMark, it has garnered 94 points in photography and outperformed Apple's iPhone 8 and Google Pixel last year.

As you can see above, the Mi Note 3 outperformed some of the best flagship devices because the benchmarking agency included zoom and bokeh performance as benchmarks. The Mi Note 3 offers superior performance in this department and offers accurate personality modes that are superior to competitors with 2x optical zoom.

In the screenshot below, Xiaomi's Mi Note 3 scored better than the previous Google Pixel and iPhone 8 of the year. It is said that it has not been successful because camera installation is better than HTC's 2017 main device U11.

Benchmarks are not the best way to judge the image quality of smartphone cameras, but the DxOMark rating has become quite popular over time. Many hardware builders not only weigh a lot in the DxOMark benchmark, but they also help you get a higher grade customer. The photo rating of Mi Note 3 will improve Xiaomi's device sales in the coming weeks. So, do you plan to purchase the Mi Note 3 because the camera's excellence is equivalent to Google Pixel?

This Cryptocurrency grew 1000% in a month and No, it’s not Bitcoin!

This Cryptocurrency grew 1000% in a month and No, it’s not Bitcoin!

Bitcoin skyrocketed to an astonishing $ 17,000 earlier this year, down from under $ 1,000 early this year. Central banks have begun to warn of imminent bubbles. But as Bitcoin steals all the headlines, many alternatives to 'altcoins' or Bitcoin were equally enjoyable. If you followed the evolution of the cryptocurrency world in the last year, you will find that Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and many other altcoins were also surprisingly surprised during this period. Surprisingly, IOTA has increased nearly 1,000% over the past month.

If you purchase one IOTA, it costs $ 4.13, but you had to pay 38 cents for the same amount just one month before November 7. Although IOTA seems to have already been hit hard, some industry observers seem to think there is still life in this rally. IOTA outperformed Ripple, the world's fourth largest cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, thanks to the surprising price increases. But this month could simply replace Ethereum with the second largest cryptocurrency at the beginning of this month.

This Cryptocurrency grew 1000% in a month and No, it’s not Bitcoin!

The main reason for the surge in IOTA is believed to be related to the IOTA's Data Marketplace presentation, which is a tangle-based solution that generates revenue from data. As part of the Data Marketplace demo, IOTA connects with massive heavyweights including, but not limited to, Microsoft, Samsung, Cisco, Fujitsu, Deustche Telecom, and Volkswagen. David Sønstebø, founder of IOTA, who described the data as "new crude" with the launch of the data marketplace, observed that "(data) will become a catalyst for future economic engines." According to him,

Data is one of the most fundamental elements in the world connected with machine economy. Without this base board, nothing can be set for the world.

Android Wear with Oreo: Here are the Changes

Android Wear with Oreo: Here are the Changes

Google has recently been on the roll. The company is announcing regular updates to the ChromeOS and Android OS platforms. First, we launched a stable build of Android Oreo on Nexus and Pixel devices and provided it to OEMs. Other OEMs, such as OnePlus, Samsung, and Nokia, have also launched Android Oreo. Yesterday, Google announced a stable build of Android 8.1 with support for Google's Android version of Android Oreo (Go Edition), which allows it to run smoothly on low-end hardware-equipped devices.

At this time, we are bringing Android Oreo updates to the platform and adding Android Wear to our long list of updates. In other words, Android Oreo for Android Wear is not as big an update as the Android OS platform. Nonetheless, this is an important update because it shows that Google is still committed to the Android Wear platform. According to our posting by Hoi Lam, Google's developer advocate for Wearables, there are improvements to Android Wear with the Android Oreo update.

  • Notification vibration strength setting
  • Touch lock option for wet conditions
  • Support for 7 countries / languages
  • Notification channel
  • Battery saving background limit
Android Wear with Oreo: Here are the Changes


The major changes to the UI are in a completely redesigned setup app to make it easier for users to find related settings. Other changes include new apps and alerts that make it easy to view app information and permissions, and separate buttons to manage all notifications.

As you can see, the Android Oreo update has not changed much, but improvements improve the user experience. In other words, it is up to the OEM to decide when to release updates for Android wearable devices. At the time of this writing, LG confirmed that only LG Wear Oreo update will be released for LG Watch sports. We hope the rest of the manufacturers will soon follow LG's initiatives.

December 12 is ‘Break the Internet’ Day: What to Know and How You Can Help

December 12 is ‘Break the Internet’ Day: What to Know and How You Can Help

On December 14, the FCC will vote on President Ajit Pai's suggestion that supporters of President Ajit Pai claim to be "restoring Internet freedom," but critics criticize it as a huge rate of attack on net neutrality. This forces all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to treat all types of Internet traffic equally, without prejudging some services or blocking other services.

The defendant became politically disruptive in the United States following a controversial decision to dismiss the Obama-era legislation that Trigg-appointed FCC chief Ajit Pai claims is protecting the rights of end-users and SMEs on the Internet. As this draft is expected to pass without revision, a variety of nonprofits on the Internet are unfortunately holding onto the abolition and replacement roadmap that has not attracted the mainstream media attention.

Groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have always supported network neutrality and are organizing massive "Internet blocking" protests against the FCC's proposed action on December 12th. The goal is to attract as many Internet users as possible to the cause of the free and fair Internet. This was a better way for 30 years.

Many of the most famous and well-known sites, such as GitHub, Reddit, BoingBoing, Imgur, and Diviant Art, have already participated in protests and can become part of the movement by spreading messages through social media accounts or by embedding messages. You can use the "Block Internet" widget on your blog with a few lines of added code. Widgets notify people about burning issues that most mainstream Internet users do not recognize, though they do not actually block, slow down, or pay for content.

If you worry about the impact of the widget on your site, you'll see it only once per user per day, so it's easy to click. Widgets also allow your US-based readers to contact Congress representatives without leaving your pages.
