    The rise of consumer cryptocurrency

    News, Published on 26/02/2024

    » Since its inception with the launch of Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain technology has gone through numerous cycles of public attention. Over time, growing interest and investment in the best-known cryptocurrencies has led to greater acceptance, as highlighted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF (exchange-traded fund) in January. While blockchains and their associated "crypto" assets have yet to be adopted by a truly broad base of consumers, that is starting to change, owing to a shift in how these technologies are being used.

    Take economic data with a grain of salt

    News, Chartchai Parasuk, Published on 07/11/2019

Note that for both tests, I kept Bluetooth on the whole time.
