What is Block Chain? How it Works tutorialAdarshMathuri
Blockchain technology allows transactions to be grouped into blocks and recorded in a ledger. Each block is cryptographically linked, making the record permanent and unalterable. This permits untrusting parties to co-create a shared record without relying on a central authority. Blockchains use cryptographic keys, peer-to-peer networks, and a shared ledger to securely transmit unique instances of value in a transparent manner that can be accessed by various servers. There are four basic types of blockchain: private, public, federated, and hybrid. Blockchain provides advantages like improved accuracy, reduced costs, decentralization, transparency, and security of transactions. However, it also faces challenges like needing high-performance and not replacing certain solutions like databases

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions. It maintains a public ledger called the blockchain to record all transactions made in bitcoin. The total supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million, and each bitcoin can be divided into 100 million smaller units called satoshis. Users can obtain bitcoin by purchasing it, mining it, or trading other currencies for it. The value of bitcoin has fluctuated greatly since its inception in 2009, when it was worth $0.08, reaching over $8,000 in early 2018.

Bitcoin - Passing Fad? Disruptive Technology? Either Way It's Now Taxable!Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
Bitcoin has been making major headlines recently. Starting with a year-end high price of $817.12 which would have returned 56X or 5,600% in 2013 to the over $500 million theft from the Japanese exchange Mt. Gox in February. Then Apple removes the Bitcoin app from its app store and finally the IRS announces its position on the taxability of virtual currencies on March 25, 2014.
Which raises the question, is Bitcoin a passing fad or disruptive technology that we need to take seriously?
This deck covers the background and latest information about Bitcoin and the IRS guidance on taxation and virtual currencies.
Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency created in 2009 and uses blockchain technology to enable peer-to-peer transactions through private keys. Since then, several other cryptocurrencies have emerged that operate using either the SHA-256 or scrypt algorithms. Some major cryptocurrencies discussed are Litecoin, which promises faster transactions than Bitcoin and has a larger coin limit, Ether which enables programmable applications on the Ethereum blockchain, Ripple which focuses on large global money transfers using XRP, and Zcash which focuses on privacy through anonymous transactions. These cryptocurrencies paved the way for new cryptocurrencies like Ducatus Coin to offer alternative forms of digital currency.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to facilitate transactions without a central authority. It was created 5 years ago and has grown significantly, with some speculating its rise will continue. Bitcoins can be obtained through product/service exchanges or mining, which is the process of validating transactions and receiving new bitcoins as a reward. While investing in bitcoins carries risk due to vulnerabilities and volatility, it may be ideal for places with problematic national currencies due to circumventing inflation. Regardless of mixed reactions, its growing popularity implies future success as a mainstream payment method.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that functions without a central authority through the use of cryptography and a peer-to-peer network. It was introduced in 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin uses cryptography through asymmetric public/private keys to verify transactions between users, and a distributed blockchain ledger records all transactions that have occurred. New bitcoins are generated through a process called "mining" where users lend their computing power to verify transactions and are rewarded with new bitcoins for successfully adding new blocks to the blockchain.
A Gentle introduction to Blockchain with EthereumJohann Romefort
This is my gentle intro to blockchain talk given at FC Bayern Hackdays - From the disruption of trust to how to deploy a HelloWorld SmartContract on a local instance of Ethereum using Truffle and Ganache.
This document discusses Segregated Witness (SegWit), a proposed solution to Bitcoin's scaling problem. SegWit aims to solve transaction malleability and allow more transactions to fit in each block by separating transaction signatures from the main blockchain. It does this as a soft fork, meaning it is backwards compatible. SegWit moves signatures to a separate data structure, reducing their size on the blockchain. This allows nodes to choose whether to download and validate signatures. It also enables further innovations like confidential transactions through soft forks rather than disruptive hard forks.
Konstantins Vasilenko gave a talk about current Bitcoin scalability challenges, existing and upcoming solutions, as well as insights about Bitcoin adoption and why it's not yet widely used as a payment instrument.
Blockchain technology allows for a decentralized digital ledger that can record transactions across a distributed network without the need for a central authority. This document provides an overview of blockchain and cryptocurrencies including how Bitcoin works using cryptography and game theory, why blockchain is significant due to its borderless, decentralized, permissionless and distributed nature, examples of cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets, notable hacks that occurred, and how blockchain is discussed in the media. The conclusion thanks the audience for their time.
The future of blockchain is not blockchain, but rather directed acyclic graph (DAG) technologies. DAGs can solve many of the problems with traditional blockchains like gatekeeping miners, uncertain fee markets, and negative resource balances. One example of a DAG called Obyte overcomes these issues through block producers that reach consensus and a "reality test" run by all nodes. DAGs also promise improved scalability, fair and certain fees, and ease of use through features like chatbots and textcoins.

Introduction to Bitcoins and CryptocurrencyUtkarsh Gupta
Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses encryption techniques to regulate currency generation and verify fund transfers independently of a central bank. Bitcoin, created in 2009, was the first cryptocurrency and introduced the concept of a decentralized digital currency not controlled by any single entity. Cryptocurrencies operate using blockchain, a public ledger stored across a network of computers that records all transactions. Key characteristics of cryptocurrencies include decentralization, ease of setup with no transaction fees, anonymity, and transparency through public recording on the blockchain. New currency units are "mined" by users who receive bitcoins for verifying transactions, with the total number of bitcoins limited to 21 million under the cryptocurrency protocol.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency introduced in 2009 that allows for peer-to-peer financial transactions without a central authority. It uses blockchain technology to record transactions through a public ledger maintained by a network of computers. New bitcoins are created through a process called mining where users offer their computing power to verify transactions. Bitcoins can be obtained by mining or in exchange for fiat money, products, or services. Users can send and receive bitcoins electronically through wallet software. The blockchain protects against fraud by requiring digital signatures to validate transactions and cryptographic hashes to prevent modification of ledger entries.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows for peer-to-peer transactions with no central authority. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoins can be used to buy things anonymously online and avoid credit card fees for small businesses. The Bitcoin network works by sharing a public ledger called the blockchain that records all transactions and is maintained through mining.
Bitcoin allows users to send money over the internet similarly to how email allows users to send messages. It functions as an alternative currency that can be used for online shopping and international transfers more cheaply than wire services. Bitcoin transactions are difficult to block and provide inflation protection by allowing users to hold their own money through desktop and mobile wallets.
The document provides an introduction to Bitcoin, explaining what it is and how it works. Some key points:
- Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions. It is not tied to any central authority.
- Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Bitcoin ownership is determined by private keys, not identities.
- New bitcoins are created through mining, where computers validate transactions by solving complex math problems. Miners are rewarded with new bitcoins.
- Over time, the supply of new bitcoins will approach 21 million as rewards for mining decrease and eventually end. Transaction fees will incentivize mining.
- Bitcoin can be exchanged for goods and services, though its legal status

Flipbook bitcoin Digital Media Theory-Albert Wintersatw94
Bitcoin was first created in 2008 with the registration of Bitcoin.org and the release of the initial software version in 2009. The first Bitcoin transaction occurred shortly after between Satoshi Nakamoto and a software developer. Over the next few years, Bitcoin gained popularity with the creation of exchanges and the first purchase using Bitcoin for a pizza in 2010. However, Bitcoin also experienced major hacks and volatility in its value during this early period.
Bitcoin, based on the now-famous Blockchain technology, is getting a lot of attention in popular media lately. And rightly so!
Bitcoin was first conceptualised way back in 2007 by Satoshi Nakamoto, and the first whitepaper on Bitcoin was published in the following year. This solved the problem of double spending and duplicate currency. In 2009, the Genesis Block was mined. Ever since, the Bitcoin story has only got bigger, and interesting!
Lets’ revisit the Bitcoin growth from the start in 2007 to 2017 – a decade of changes. From the initial stages to the current Bitcoin exchange rate of INR 80, 456.71 in 2017, the currency is here to stay!
1. The document provides an overview of Bitcoin, including its origins, how it works as a decentralized digital currency, and some of its key features and advantages.
2. It discusses Bitcoin's theoretical underpinnings and compares it to traditional fiat currencies and commodities like gold. However, it notes that Bitcoin faces significant challenges from its volatility, lack of regulation, and theoretical shortcomings regarding use as a stable currency.
3. In conclusion, the document outlines both advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin, questioning its independence and stability as a currency due to issues like its unregulated status, anonymity enabling tax evasion, and lack of a clear theoretical framework supporting its use as money.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that exists as digital wallets on users' computers or in cloud locations. Transactions are verified by a global network of computer users. Bitcoin was created in 2008 by an unknown person under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. New bitcoins are generated by miners who solve complex mathematical problems, and the value is determined by supply and demand. Users can use bitcoin to buy goods from others online without going through a bank or other financial institution.
Bitcoin is renowned for being the world’s first cryptocurrency, launched back in 2009. While many other cryptocurrencies have entered the market since, Bitcoin remains a market leader.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency invented in 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are verified in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain without the need for a central authority. Though volatile, bitcoin offers advantages over traditional currencies such as low transaction fees, global reach, and ability to withstand government interference. However, its use also faces challenges from price instability, reliance on third parties, and perception as a tool for criminal activity.
Bitcoin Technology” Bitcoin is an innovative technology that offers several benefits, such as fast transaction speeds, low costs, and the elimination of the need for a third-party intermediary to process transactions. Unfortunately, BitCoin has faced resistance from regulators because the technology has been used for nefarious purposes, including online drug purchases and Ponzi schemes. This note provides a basic explanation of how BitCoin works and is currently regulated on federal and state levels. This note argues that BitCoin should not be forced into old regulatory frameworks that do not adequately balance security concerns with the benefits of BitCoin. BitCoin should not be regulated at the federal level. Instead, state regulations should focus on BitCoin providers that can unilaterally transfer or block transfers of BitCoin on behalf of users. State regulators should require such providers to register with their given states, maintain adequate books and records, implement advanced cyber security standards, conduct audits of their operations, and submit reports to state regulators. In crafting these regulations, regulators should keep in mind that vague or poorly drafted regulations will chill innovation. A Bitcoin would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network.
In short, you could say Bitcoin is the first decentralised system of money used for online transactions, but it will probably be useful to dig a bit deeper.

Blockchain history | The Brief History of Blockchain till 2018
Blockchain has a history. Blockchain started its journey back in 1991. But the developers and researchers failed to implement the blockchain practically. It was described by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta in 1991. They aim to design a system where document timestamps could not be tampered with. But they were failed to implement the system.
This document is a 2,150 word essay on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin submitted as a second assessment for a Technology and E-Commerce Law course. It begins by discussing two recent cases where hackers demanded ransom payments in Bitcoin for stolen data and content. The essay then provides background on Bitcoin, explaining that it is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009 that exists on a peer-to-peer network and uses cryptography and a public ledger called the blockchain to record transactions. It examines debates around whether Bitcoin fulfills the criteria to be considered a currency and notes its growing acceptance among online merchants. The essay is divided into sections analyzing how Bitcoin works, its uses, challenges, and how it should be regulated in Australia.
Electronic payment systems and digital currencies are growing in popularity and use. Digital currencies like Bitcoin offer advantages like low transaction fees, anonymity, and lack of centralized control but also risks like volatility and lack of consumer protections. There are over 300 different cryptocurrencies that differ in features like transaction irreversibility, emission limits, and mining processes. The top currencies are Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Peercoin, with Bitcoin dominating the market. Cryptocurrencies provide near zero-cost international transactions without intermediaries but also come with drawbacks like inability to recover funds with unscrupulous users.
Bitcoin is a complex topic, covering cryptography, software engineering and economics. It is difficult to grasp its essence with only a superficial look at it. But that is all this article has to offer. We’ll try to answer a few basic questions and wet your appetite for more.
Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009. It follows the ideas set out in a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto,Bitcoin is a decentralised electronic currency which is not backed by any other currency as it is a stand-alone currency traded against other currencies.
Bitcoin is a digital currency created by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and is not controlled by any single entity. It uses cryptography to control the creation of new bitcoins and verify transactions without the need for a central authority. Users can send and receive bitcoins through peer-to-peer software or exchanges. While bitcoins have value due to demand and a limited supply, transactions are not completely anonymous and bitcoin exchanges can experience price differences.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
