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.

Blockchain concept and technology. How this is becoming the next trend after the Bitcoin, expanding to a myriad of solutions. Smart contracts might be using a public distributed, and encrypted platform to support data persistence.
Kristof V. explained the basics of blockchain and smart contracts. Starting with the mechanics of bitcoin (introduced by the 2009 paper of Satoshi Nakamoto) he explains concepts of pseudonymisation, encryption, blockchain, mining, and distribution. After skimming high-level through some use cases he moves to "(smart) contracts", using the example of an auction.

Blockchain Introduction - Canada Nov 2017.pptxAntony Welfare
Back in 2017 I joined the world of #Blockchain and presented my first ever Blockchain presentation on 14th November 2017 at a Tech meetup in Penticton, BC (Canada)
A few key highlights:
* The fundamentals of Blockchain technology have not changed (Trust, Transparency, Security, Quality/Certainty, Reduced costs)
* We were talking about Web 3.0 back in 2017 😉
* People still miss define Blockchain
* Janet Yellen and Christine Lagarde were commenting on Blockchain back in 2017
* Checkout the Dapps section – I was ahead of my time there!
* And the last three slides on the Market cap and increases – I was excited to tell people the market cap was $200bn, BTC was $8,000 and ETH was nearly $400 ……… Ahhh the good old days 😉
And finally – my “leaders comment” back in 2017 still stands “Blockchain is the next disruptive technology to transform the lives of our customers and our business operations”
What a journey so far…and guess what…its only just begun 👍👍👍

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
