Introduction to blockchain and crypto currenciesRohas Nagpal
The Blockchain technology has received tremendous attention over the last couple of years.Key benefits of blockchains include immutability and decentralisation.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SMART CONTRACTS : A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY csandit
An appealing feature of blockchain technology is smart contracts. A smart contract is
executable code that runs on top of the blockchain to facilitate, execute and enforce an
agreement between untrusted parties without the involvement of a trusted third party. In this
paper, we conduct a systematic mapping study to collect all research that is relevant to smart
contracts from a technical perspective. The aim of doing so is to identify current research topics
and open challenges for future studies in smart contract research. We extract 24 papers from
different scientific databases. The results show that about two thirds of the papers focus on
identifying and tackling smart contract issues. Four key issues are identified, namely, codifying,
security, privacy and performance issues. The rest of the papers focuses on smart contract
applications or other smart contract related topics. Research gaps that need to be addressed in
future studies are provided.
It covers the following topics
Why Blockchain was invented?

Abstract
In the year 2018, we have witnessed the surge and the fall of crypto-currencies. With the surge, blockchain the new technology behind cryptocurrencies, and its idealistic footprint of advanced thoughts, blockchainism it can be perhaps called, came to enthrall our minds. Thousands of new ambitious projects have been conceived and fast activated with the worldwide frenzy of new funding through initial coin offerings a novel funding mechanism in the blockchain world. Decentralized societies, equal accesses to valuable resources, reducing the cost of middleman, freed individuals from hierarchical organizations, and reducing the spread in inequalities are some of those advanced thoughts. But the fall came; the market value for Bitcoin has collapsed more than 7 times from its peak-value; that of Ethereum has plummeted more than 12 times. These two power houses which have supported those progressive projects are now torn apart. Recent New York Times report reads, “Blockchain: What’s it good for? Absolutely nothing, report finds.” Another one reads, The Blockchain Is a Reminder of the Internet’s Failure. The same utopian promises that bloomed during the Internet’s early days are back. Be afraid.“ Should this be the end of our pursue to change and make a better world with blockchains? Obviously not. In this presentation, I would like to talk about the reality of blockchain technology and how distant it is from the ideals. With this accessment, I would like to present some of novel research progresses we made in year 2018 and talk about further research ideas to pursue in year 2019.
I performed a 3-hour educational session at Etopía, Zaragoza, for artists enrolled in the ARTeCHÓ international program. I shared important internal details about smart contracts, the ERC-721 standard, and how to link market and NFT contracts.
What are NFTs?
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that are verified on a blockchain network. This means that NFTs cannot be replicated or replaced, and they can be used to represent ownership of digital items such as artwork, music, videos, and other types of digital content.
How do NFTs work?
NFTs are created by minting them on a blockchain. Minting is the process of creating a new token and adding it to the blockchain. Once an NFT is minted, it cannot be changed or deleted.
To mint an NFT, you will need to create a digital wallet and connect it to a blockchain marketplace. Once you have connected your wallet, you can upload your digital file and create an NFT listing.
When someone purchases your NFT, the transaction will be recorded on the blockchain and the NFT will be transferred to their wallet. The new owner of the NFT will now have full ownership of the digital asset.
What are the benefits of NFTs?
Ownership: NFTs provide a way to prove ownership of digital assets. This is important because digital assets can be easily copied and distributed without the owner's permission.
Monetization: NFTs can be used to monetize digital content. For example, artists can sell their artwork as NFTs, and musicians can sell their music as NFTs.
Community: NFTs can be used to build communities around digital assets. For example, a group of fans could purchase an NFT from their favorite artist, and this would give them access to exclusive content or experiences.
Examples of NFTs
Artwork: One of the most popular uses of NFTs is to represent ownership of digital artwork. Some famous artists have sold their artwork as NFTs for millions of dollars.
Music: NFTs can also be used to represent ownership of digital music. Some musicians have sold their music as NFTs, and this has allowed them to bypass traditional record labels and connect directly with their fans.
Videos: NFTs can also be used to represent ownership of digital videos. For example, some video game companies have sold in-game items as NFTs.
Collectibles: NFTs can also be used to represent ownership of digital collectibles. For example, some sports leagues have sold trading cards as NFTs.
Conclusion
NFTs are a new and emerging technology with the potential to revolutionize the way we own and interact with digital assets. NFTs are still in their early stages of development, but they have the potential to change the way we create, consume, and invest in digital content.

Blockchain is a technology dedicated to processing and recording digital transactions in a transparent and secure manner without requiring any central authority.
In fact, Blockchain is a shared ledger that maintains the whole history of the transactions processed by its users since its creation, so it forms an electronic chain of transactions. This ledger is distributed, and secure, and shared by its users, enabling anyone to check the validity of every transactions.

NDE Study - University of Maryland. This dissertation is based on a comprehensive study which investigated the meaning and social significance of "near-death experiences" (NDEs) by situating 50 experiencers (NDErs) as the "inside" experts on these profound, subjective experiences and their real-world impact.
I used a phenomenological, "person-centered" ethnographic approach, new to Near-Death Studies, to make experiencers' lives the orienting framework for my study. Informed by "reformist" qualitative-research ethics and health-education-and-counseling values, I analyzed study-participants' life-history narratives against medical-scientific Near-Death Studies explanatory models, an NDE-Integration-Trajectory (NDE IT) patterns model, and social construction and identity-alternation theory.
My findings were, first, that study participants' descriptions of NDE impact and aftereffects, which matched previous findings, were adequately explained by neither social construction nor medical-scientific theory.
Second, participants in this and previous studies described significant NDE interpretation and integration problems, in which I recognized a previously unidentified, health-education-and-counseling-related, pattern of unmet NDE integration needs.
Third, my findings supported the previous NDE IT findings and model; and also recognized the importance of individuals' multiple cultural meaning systems in shaping their NDE integration patterns.
Fourth, 29 of 50 study participants had not sought out and did not identify Near-Death Studies as a useful NDE integration context or resource; and they described it negatively if they mentioned it at all.
Moreover, the 21 participants who had sought a connection with Near-Death Studies expressed similar dissatisfactions.
My findings speak to the need for development of a research agenda and model(s) designed to assess and address the education and counseling needs of tens of millions of NDErs, and their health care providers.
My analysis addresses the potential social-wellness value, as well as the needs, of a community of 13 million adult NDErs, in the U.S. alone.
It situates its analysis within a context of escalating social and ecological crises and an in-progress paradigm-shift away from the still-official Newtonian/Cartesian material world view of Western culture.
It recognizes the potential social value of NDErs' collective visibility as agents, among many others of a (re)emergent sacred worldview; one that is linked to the world views of diverse indigenous knowledge systems as well as of quantum physics.

CE-5 Handbook 2020 (Steven Greer - Close Encounters movie)Exopolitics Hungary
CE-5 Handbook 2020 (Steven Greer - Close Encounters movie).
An easy-to-use guide to help you contact Extraterrestrial Life.
The term “CE-5” was coined by Dr. Steven Greer, who had two experiences with beings who shared with him the importance of teaching people how to telepathically communicate with Extraterrestrials.
CE-5 is an acronym for: “Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind” The first four kinds of contact, CE-1, 2, 3 & 4, describes ET initiating contact with humans. CE-5 is the reverse: humans initiating contact with ET.
Human initiated contact does predate the protocol that was imparted to him. In our current era of history we are aware of Sixto Paz Wells and the Peruvian Mission Rahma group who started contact in 1974. In the 60s groups of hippies would initiate contact.
As well, shamans of indigenous cultures the world over have a fluid connection to ETs. We can assume in all likely-hood that throughout all of human history some of us along the way have figured out how to make phone calls to outer space.

Bert Hellinger - On Consciences (Family Constellation for Hybrid Families)
EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXPERIENCES EXAMINED THROUGH THE BERT HELLINGER-TYPE FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
-- a yet undescovered area of healing and understanding
It would bring fascinating results if some who have memories of extraterrestrial parents, would find a therapist who would be capable of giving them a Bert Hellinger-type Family Constellation, which is about the workings of love and energy that not only pervades, but also surmounts the individuals in a family.
The so called Family Conscience, which Mr. Hellinger discovered for Humanity, goes beyond human logic and human ethics, and embodies a greater order of love that defies the usual level of human understanding.
During constellation, the representatives of family members can "channel" the personality, and soul messages of the represented person, or in our case, extraterrestrial/interdimensional entity. THROUGH THIS such information could be gained about one's extraterrestrial family members and the greater scheme of hybrid families, that possibly no other research method can yet give besides regressional hypnosis.
NO ONE HAS YET researched the implications of alien-human families with the help and in terms of the Bert Hellinger-type family constellations! This would bring tremendous cultural gifts not only to humanity, but with it, a deep understanding and therefore healing to the participants, hybrid adults or hybrid kids and parents, and contactees.

NBFCs are critical in bridging the financial inclusion gap.
They provide specialized financial services that cater to segments often neglected by traditional banks.
Economic Impact
NBFCs contribute significantly to India's GDP.
They support sectors like micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), housing finance, and personal loans.
Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.

Exploring Abhay Bhutada’s Views After Poonawalla Fincorp’s Collaboration With...beulahfernandes8
The financial landscape in India has witnessed a significant development with the recent collaboration between Poonawalla Fincorp and IndusInd Bank.
The launch of the co-branded credit card, the IndusInd Bank Poonawalla Fincorp eLITE RuPay Platinum Credit Card, marks a major milestone for both entities.
This strategic move aims to redefine and elevate the banking experience for customers.
Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant. I and my friends has traded more than 6000pi coins successfully

Introduction to Indian Financial System ()Avanish Goel
The financial system of a country is an important tool for economic development of the country, as it helps in creation of wealth by linking savings with investments.
It facilitates the flow of funds form the households (savers) to business firms (investors) to aid in wealth creation and development of both the parties
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?

8. The Bancor Protocol Ecosystem
Different parties can take on different roles in the Bancor network ecosystem. The primary forms
of participation are as follows:
● End-Users can receive, hold, transfer, request, purchase and liquidate smart tokens.
● Smart Token Creators can issue new, always liquid smart tokens, that may be used for
trading, token changing, as token baskets or as network tokens.
● Asset Tokenizers (e.g. Tether-USD, Digix-Gold) can issue ERC20 tokens representing
external assets, thus enabling smart tokens to use these assets as reserve tokens.
(Existing crypto-exchanges that operate under their local KYC regulations are well
positioned to provide asset tokenization services.)
● Arbitrageurs are organically incentivized to constantly reduce gaps between prices on
crypto-exchanges and the Bancor network. Smart tokens work similarly to exchanges in
that purchasing them increases their price and selling them decreases it, so that the same
arbitrage mechanics and incentives apply.
A Solution to the Coincidence of Wants Problem
The coincidence of wants problem , in the current asset exchange model, creates a situation 5
where assets are required to be traded at a certain minimal volume or else face liquidity risk . 6
The cause for this limitation is that the chance of finding a second party with opposite wants to
exchange with, correlates to the asset’s trading activity level. Smart tokens solve this problem
through the use of reserve tokens which embed market depth directly into the smart token’s
smart contract.
Smart tokens are a technological solution to the coincidence of wants problem for asset
exchange, rather than a labor-based solution as used in traditional (or decentralized) exchanges.
The current laborers in asset exchange are the professional market-makers who provide liquidity
and facilitate collaborative price discovery. In the domains of information exchange and trade, the
technologies of writing and currency replaced labor-intensive solutions (speaking and barter) with
technological ones, creating mass efficiencies for societies and unlocking collaboration on a
global and intergenerational level. The Bancor protocol proposes to similarly advance the domain
of asset exchange by replacing the need for labor with a technological solution to the existing
coincidence of wants problem.
Smart Token Initiation and Customization
New smart tokens can be created simply by depositing an initial reserve/s and issuing the initial
token supply. Alternatively smart tokens can be initiated through a crowdsale, where a part of the
proceeds is allocated as the initial reserve.

12. Illustrative Map of a Potential Bancor Network
● BNT - The BNT, backed by Ether
● ETH, DGD, DGX, REP and GNT are standard Ethereum-tokens
● NEW - New smart tokens created (e.g. crowdfunding campaign, a community currency,
etc.)
● Smart tokens hold reserves (arrows point to the reserve tokens)
● Token changers are 100% backed, and hold two or more reserves

13. Price Calculation Per Transaction
The actual price of a smart token is calculated as a function of the transaction size.
R - Reserve Token Balance
S - Smart Token Supply
F - Constant Reserve Ratio (CRR)
● = Smart tokens received in exchange for E (reserve tokens), given R, S and FT
((1 ) )T = S + R
E F
− 1
● = Reserve tokens received in exchange for T (smart tokens), given R, S and FE
(1 )E = R −

Mathematical proof available 7
Summary
The Bancor protocol standardizes smart tokens, enabling asynchronous price discovery and
continuous liquidity for cryptocurrencies using constant ratios of reserve tokens held through
smart contracts, acting as automated market makers. The Bancor protocol enables the creation
of hierarchical monetary systems with no liquidity risk. The BNT will be used to establish the first
decentralized interconnected currency exchange system which does not rely on matching bid
and ask orders, thus remaining liquid irrespective of its trading volume. This system proposes the
first technological solution for the Coincidence of Wants Problem in asset exchange, enabling the
long tail of user-generated currencies to emerge.
