Have you thought about summer or spring wallpaper or paint but worry that it would be expensive and time consuming to change it when the winter season comes around? Perhaps a better idea is removable wall decorations.There are different types of removable wall décor; my favorite is removable sticker decals. You can find these cheap at many local home improvement stores or retail stores. They come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and patterns to perfectly decorate any room in your home in your favorite style. You can get sunflowers, ladybugs and butterflies or classic green vines and so much more.These decals allow you to get creative with your walls and you press them firmly on just like stickers. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth as you would normally clean your wall and they are completely removable and will not damage your wall so you can take them down when the season changes or you get bored of them. This is also a great idea for someone renting a home or apartment that is not allowed to make permanent changes to the structure of the home. You can decorate in your style and remove it without causing damage when you move out.Check your local stores or look online for your options in removable wall décor and then let your imagination and creativity help you make a personalized look for your walls! </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/removable-wall-decor,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Making Money Online: The Truth About Making Money Online</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/making-money-online-the-truth-about-making-money-online,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/making-money-online-the-truth-about-making-money-online,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 16 Mar 2023 08:39:48 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[Making money online, is it real or is it a bunch of bologna?

Depending on what you are looking for, it could be both! Making money online is something thousands of people try to do daily but only a few actually succeed and even fewer see real income margins! Most online entrepreneurs are able to make a little money on the side, but the truth is that most hardly make anything. I’m going to be providing a few ways you could make money online as well as a brief review.1. Write and Sell an eBook – If you have a vast amount of knowledge over a certain topic you could write and sell an eBook, I supposed I should say write, record and then sell an eBook. This could be a fantastic way to make residual income online and when it comes to making money, residual is the word you’re going to want to be searching for! However, if you don’t have much knowledge over one specific subject it could be difficult to create a quality eBook and your customers are going to want quality! Additionally, this stream of income will take time! You will have to build your audience first and that could weeks or months or even years depending on how you market yourself.2. Sell Photos – If you enjoy photography you could be selling your photos online. That picture you took of the sunset last week could be $10 in your pocket as well. Once you get your picture uploaded online you can set it to sell and people will be buying your glamorous photo while you sleep. You could potentially wake up the next morning to an extra $50 or $100 in your bank account just from one photo! However, this is definitely not something I would be interested in, personally. I am a horrible photographer and do not enjoy taking pictures, so I can only imagine this business structure would be an absolute failure for me.3. Create Video Tutorials – As technology progresses, people are wanting tutorials on pretty much everything. You could do a tutorial on basic math, feeding your pet, even making a PB&J sandwich! After uploading these videos you’ll want to monetize them that way you can generate income from views. However, same as writing an eBook, this income generation may take time. You will have to build an audience with this route as well. However, you could see a pretty decent size of residual income after building a following.There’s many more ways you can make money online! I encourage you to search some more if this review didn’t include anything interesting but beware of false hopes! You can make money online a bunch of different ways, however, there are only a very few ways to make a substantial residual income stream online all from home. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/making-money-online-the-truth-about-making-money-online,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Beautiphol: Art in a State of Entertainment</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/beautiphol-art-in-a-state-of-entertainment,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/beautiphol-art-in-a-state-of-entertainment,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Feb 2023 13:54:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=60</guid> <description><![CDATA[Art has to be entertaining.

If not, it will fail to communicate with its audience in any constructive way and any message that it might carry will be lost. Any song you write about love that doesn’t entertain the ear, will be discarded… and its message of love will be dissolved by the sounds of boredom and indifference of your listener.The same applies to all forms of art. Directors know that once people start snoring during their movies, they’ve lost the game. Writers, painters… they all know that once you fail to entertain your reader/viewer, any chance you had at communicating your emotions and your beliefs, is evaporated faster than hydrogen on a bright sunny day in the heart of Cairo.That being said, art being entertaining is one thing… and art being “entertainment” is another.A good example here is the magician. He is an entertainer and his goal is by definition self-explanatory… to entertain with the use of magic. What he does takes tremendous skills, an abundance in talent and dedication to his work. By being an entertainer, does he care if the members of his audience become more informed and more knowledgeable individuals after his show? No… Actually, the less they know about what they have just seen, the greater the entertainment. Does the entertainer concern himself with the enrichment of his audience’s spiritual state? And by saying “spiritual”, I do not mean the religious interpretation of the term. A person enhances his “spirit” by acquiring information, knowledge, ideas, perceptions and a greater understanding on a subject which he did not possess before becoming exposed to the source of that information. So can a magician enrich his audience’s spirit? Yes… he can. Is it mandatory though because he is an entertainer? No… it’s not.I believe this is the core difference between an artist and an entertainer. When art is created simply to serve its self and satisfy the tastes of individuals by providing them with a short, joyful experience, without elevating their knowledge-base or introducing a new perspective or understanding on the issue it concerns its self… then the artist seizes to be an artist and transforms into an entertainer. That is the point when art becomes a product, and its core function is no longer to contribute, to expand, to enrich or to elevate its field… but to be consumed. A short-term action which stimulates the brain in a passive way, creating a positive emotional reaction, which as pleasant as it may be, once its influence passes by, leaves you in no greater spiritual state than you were in before. Another product which serves the exact same function is of course, the use of drugs.There are great examples of entertainers who have managed to entertain successfully throughout their careers, while simultaneously being a tremendous source of knowledge and originality. They provide their audience with new ideas, new perceptions and raise issues which could only benefit our culture, elevating their own work to a creative level which is very difficult to reach. A good example of this is the field of stand-up comedy. When entertainers like George Carlin, or Eddie Izzard got on stage, they didn’t just want for their audience to have a good time. They wanted their audience to have a good time and leave the theater more informed and more knowledgeable. Entertainment wasn’t enough, there had to be a lasting, cultural and spiritual gain for the people to take home. These entertainers, subsequently, become something more than entertainers… they become artists. Another great example is painting. When Picasso introduced cubism, he achieved not only in creating entertaining visual work, but he also succeeded in enriching the art of painting with a new style, new methodology and elevated his own artistic field to a new level. Picasso didn’t just entertain his viewer… he evolved his viewer’s perception and understanding of beauty and composition.Creating beauty in art is beautiful…Creating art because you need to see beauty is beautiphol.In literature and the film industry, the entertainment mechanisms have overshadowed the artistic mechanisms and the market is overloaded with works of either very slim spiritual contribution, or very often not any at all. I have recently read a book in the Sci-Fi genre which had an interesting plot (I do not enjoy hammering down other authors or their work, so I will not mention the title) and I was astonished by how little difference it made to my “spirit” once I finished reading it. It literally gave me nothing that I could possibly keep. There was a formula there; With a fixed plot, fixed characters, a fixed environment for the plot and the characters to work in, and their aim was simple… to provide a fix. Did I enjoy it? Yes, it was an entertaining book, extremely well written and the plot kept me interested. But it failed to find a good balance between art and entertainment, leaning entirely towards the latter, I suppose due to marketing reasons. It had nothing to offer to its reader other than an instant positive emotional satisfaction which is doomed to fade away and leave back nothing unchanged. Do I consider it as a work of art? I do not. And allow me to explain why…The product and desired result of sexual activity is of course the orgasm. You can get an orgasm by making love to your partner or by masturbating. The difference is that by making love, you can gain more than just an orgasm. While with masturbation, you only get an orgasm. If the action of writing a book which only strives to provide me with an “orgasm” is considered “art,” then what do you call the act of masturbating in order to get an orgasm?…”… making love?”The following quote by Ernst Fischer summarises and expresses my own personal artistic motivations perfectly. And since I am nowhere near Fischer’s level or articulation and writing skills, I have nothing to add.”In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable… and help to change it.” -Ernst Fischer </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/beautiphol-art-in-a-state-of-entertainment,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Invest Safely: Also Invest In Diamonds!</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/invest-safely-also-invest-in-diamonds,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/invest-safely-also-invest-in-diamonds,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2023 16:31:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=58</guid> <description><![CDATA[It is important to invest wisely.

When you do this, it is essential that you spread the risk. Diversification is a risk management technique in which one chooses a wide range of investments including, for example, diamond. With this technique, one divides the risk and the expected profit is therefore higher. If one would choose only one investment out of the range, the chance is larger that there will be no profit retrieved.New ways of investingAs the global market continues to be very unstable, it is of great importance for investors to spread the risk. Large investors are always looking to invest in markets which have no connection with the markets in which it has already invested. This is a logical way of thinking to avoid the domino effect. For this reason, investments and real estate investments have been popular for decades. But one does not keep it with real estate only. In recent years there has been a growing interest to invest in commodities such as diamonds.Investing in commodities such as diamonds?Investing in commodities falls under the category of ‘fixed assets’ and is very popular with institutional investors. Within this there are many different types categorized as energy, metals and even livestock. However, in this form of investment, one may count as well crude oil, aluminum, gold and, of course, diamond. Gold has long been the most common form of investment in terms of resources but must redeem increasing popularity compared to diamonds.Low-risk investments?This form, in which one assesses a low risk, is often linked to stocks and bonds that represent a fixed value within the equity portfolio. They are a buffer and cover losses on other investments. According to many investors it is a fairly safe investment where there are no huge gains or losses associated with.But, this is not correct. Even investments with low risk have their market fluctuations. They are obviously less extreme as with other investments, but it also has highlights and valleys. If this portfolio is well and correctly managed, you can also get good profits from this form of investment.To invest smartly?When you decide to do this, you should choose an equal investment of your capital in the following mix:- Real Estate<br />- Investments with low risk<br />- Investing in commodities such as diamondsIt is important that you invest in a broad range of investments, and the purchase of raw materials such as diamond fit perfectly into the picture. Moreover, when investing in diamonds, you have the advantage that you can start with a relatively small investment.

Staying in an airport hotel in New Zealand is an excellent part of the strategy to not only survive the long flights and adjust to a new country, but feel great doing so.Of course there are a few other things you can do to make the travelling feel a lot more comfortable. First, there’s the jet lag issue. If you haven’t slept well leading up to your flight, this can compound it, but it also is caused by the changes in time zones. You need to adopt the new time zones changes as soon as you can. Many suggest doing this as soon as you get on a flight, changing your watch to fit the time of the destination.Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is a must. Layering is a really good idea, as you can switch from hot to cold and then back to hot again throughout the flight. Shoes should be flat and something your feet can swell a little in, as we often carry water retention a little during a flight. Staying hydrated also helps water retention. You might not be allowed to take a large bottle of water on board anymore, but you can ask for two drinks at a time, and try to avoid having too much alcohol or too many caffeinated drinks.Taking some “small sized” basic toiletries is going to keep you feeling refreshed. Many people find wet wipes, or something similar, are perfect for those mid flight urges to clean your face. Brushing your teeth can help you stay awake, and deodorant also is a great addition. While you’ll be able to freshen up once you get to your airport hotel in New Zealand, it’s a great way to keep alert and not arrive feeling like a total wreck.Make a move – stretch out your legs, walk around the plane when you can and stretch your limbs regularly. If you have any time in transit anywhere, get up and move your body. Ankle circles are a must at the very least.You won’t be able to take your food off the plane, but if you’re a fresh food eater, or like snacking, take a few extra items along. Just make sure you leave all the scraps on the plane. You can also order ahead to make sure your dietary needs are taken care of. Once you are happily ensconced in your airport hotel in New Zealand, you can focus on sleeping and then finding some of the great kiwi food on offer. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/using-an-airport-hotel-as-part-of-your-travel-plans,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Paying for Health Care – Health</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/paying-for-health-care-health,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/paying-for-health-care-health,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2023 07:50:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=54</guid> <description><![CDATA[The cost of health care in the United States is expensive and is escalating.

A majority of Americans cannot afford the cost of medicines, physicians’ fees, or hospitalization without some form of health insurance. Health insurance is a contract between an insurance company and an individual or group for the payment of medical care costs. After the individual or group pays a premium to an insurance company, the insurance company pays for part or all of the medical costs depending on the type of insurance and benefits provided. The type of insurance policy purchased greatly influences where you go for health care, who provides the health care, and what medical procedures can be performed. The three basic health insurance plans include a private, fee-for-service plan; a prepaid group plan; and a government-financed public plan.Private Fee-For-Service Insurance PlanUntil recently, private, fee-for-service insurance was the principal form of health insurance coverage. In this plan an individual pays a monthly premium, usually through an employer, which ensures health care on a fee-far-service basis. On incurring medical costs, the patient files a claim to have a portion of these costs paid by the insurance company. There is usually a deductible, an amount paid by the patient before being eligible for benefits from the insurance company. For example, if your expenses are $1000, you may have to pay $200 before the insurance company will pay the other $800. Usually the lower the deductible, the higher the premiums will be. After the deductible is met the insurance provider pays a percentage of the remaining balance.Typically there are fixed indemnity benefits, specified amounts that are paid for particular procedures. If your policy pays $500 for a tonsilectomy and the actual cost was $1000, you owe the health care provider $500. There are often exclusions, certain services that are not covered by the policy. Common examples include elective surgery, dental care, vision care, and coverage for preexisting illnesses and injuries. Some insurance plans provide options for adding dental and vision care. Other common options include life insurance, which pays a death benefit, and disability insurance, which pays for income lost because of the inability to work as a result of an illness or injury. The more options added to the insurance plan, the more expensive the insurance will be.One strategy insurance companies are using to lower insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs to the consumer is the formation of preferred providers organization (PPO). A PPO is a group of private practitioners who sell their services at reduced rates to insurance companies. When a patient chooses a provider that is in that company’s PPO, the insurance company pays a higher percentage of the fee. When a non-PPO provider is used, a much lower portion of the fee is paid.A major advantage of a fee-for-service plan is that the patient has options in selecting health-care providers. Several disadvantages are that patients may not routinely receive comprehensive, preventive health care; health-care costs to the patient may be high if unexpected illnesses or injuries occur; and it may place heavy demands on time in keeping track of medical records, invoices, and insurance reimbursement forms.Prepaid Group InsuranceIn prepaid group insurance, health care is provided by a group of physicians organized into a health maintenance organization (HMO). HMOs are managed health-care plans that provide a full range of medical services for a prepaid amount of money. For a fixed monthly fee, usually paid through pay roll deductions by an employer, and often a small deductible, enrollees receive care from physicians, specialists, allied health professionals, and educators who are hired or contractually retained by the HMO. HMOs provide an advantage in that they provide comprehensive care including preventive care at a lower cost than private insurance over a long period of coverage. One drawback is that patients are limited in their choice of providers to those who belong to an HMO.Government InsuranceIn a government insurance plan the government at the federal, state, or local level pays for the health-care costs of elgible participants. Two prominent examples of this plan are Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare is financed by social security taxes and is designed to provide health care for individuals 65 years of age and older, the blind, the severely disabled, and those requiring certain treatments such as kidney dialysis. Medicaid is subsidized by federal and state taxes. It provides limited health care, generally for individuals who are eligible for benefits and assistance from two programs: Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Supplementary Security Income. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/paying-for-health-care-health,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Health Care Reform Wayback – A Brief History of Health Care Reform in the USA</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/health-care-reform-wayback-a-brief-history-of-health-care-reform-in-the-usa,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/health-care-reform-wayback-a-brief-history-of-health-care-reform-in-the-usa,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2023 07:48:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=52</guid> <description><![CDATA[Is Health Care Reform New?

As somebody who is very interested in the progress of health care reform as a taxpayer, private consumer of health insurance and services, and as a professional, I have been trying to follow the current health reform debates. I am getting a little frustrated with the lack of progress on either side of the aisle, and also by some of the knee jerk reactions by politicians and their groupies.. You would think that the current administration, and its political adversaries, had just invented health reform or the cries of outrage that sound against it.I decided to do my best to outline some of the highlights of the health reform attempts, failures, and progress in the past 100 years or so. I am not a professional historian, by any means, so some may feel as if I left out important things or took them out of context. I am trying to be balanced, but take all the blame if I neglected something you feel is important.Teddy Roosevelt In the 1910′sTeddy Roosevelt ran on a very progressive platform in the early part of the last century. His campaign promises for 1912 included protection for workers safety on the job women’s right to vote, and a national health care program. He was president of the United States, by the way, from 1901 – 1909. But he lost the election of 1912 to Woodrow Wilson. It is interesting to note that this Roosevelt was a Republic. Wilson was the Democrat. Never assume that American party politics are set in stone.Early Models of Current Health Insurance and Cries of SocialismIn 1929, Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas came up with a pre-paid program for a large areal teacher’s union. This is considered one of the earliest models of health insurance. Now here’s the irony. A few years later, an Oklahoma doctor formed a farmer’s association with a pre-paid plan. Members of the association would pay into the plan, and then get services covered. The American Medical Association called this doctor’s plan socialism!Despite this, pre-paid hospital and doctor plans continued to grow in popularity around the US. However, they usually left out the unemployed and elderly.The New Deal in the 1930′s Another Roosevelt, FDR, also wanted to implement national health reform. He wanted to include it as part of social security legislation. That did not work out, but even Truman wanted to set up a national fund. for health care. He figured everybody could pay in, like we do for social security, and then it could make sure that people’s most severe health needs were met. All of this was left out of the New Deal, and the AMA continued to criticize it as socialism.Post World War II By the end of the second world war, it became a lot more obvious that there was a big gap between health care costs and what mos people could afford. Congress did pass a bill to build a lot more hospitals. They also required hospitals to provide charity care. They had a clause to forbid discrimination on race, religion, etc. But they did allow separate but equal care, which did not always turn out to provide equal care to everybody.In the 1950′s, labor unions began adding health benefits to their collective bargaining agreements. This really formed the basis for the group health insurance many people enjoy at work today. So group health plans became more popular, and in 1954, Congress voted to make this benefits tax-exempt.The 1960′s JFK fought hard for national health care, but again he was met with cries of socialism. But Medicare and Medicaid, regarded as American institutions now, did emerge despite this. Medicare is the US national health plan for seniors and disabled people. Medicaid is the national health plan for very poor people.Despite the fact that millions of Americans had heath insurance coverage for the first time, in the 1960′s, health care spending and costs were beginning to rise.The 1970′s – Nixon and Carter President Nixon, a Republican, worked for health reform. He proposed a bill that would require employers to provide minimum health insurance coverage. Under his administration, money was allocated for the development of HMOs and managed care to contain costs.Carter ran for president, and national health care was a large part of his campaign platform. Even though he won, the severe recession put these plans on hold.The 1980′s and COBRACOBRA is the national law that requires some employers to extend group health benefits to terminated employees for several months.The 1990′s and The ClintonsProbably the most famous previous attempt to dramatically reform health care was under President Clinton. Hillary Clinton, then first lady, spear headed this work. You will probably not be surprised to learn that political critics of the pan delighted in calling it socialism. Experts contend that the plan failed because of partisan politics on both sides. The drug and insurance companies, and the American Medical Association (AMA) also spent a lot of time and money getting the Health Security Act defeated.CHIPS – I cannot leave the 1990′s without mentioning CHIPS. This is the state and federal children’s health insurance program which covers millions of children from lower and moderate income families.21st Century Health ReformI have to credit George Bush, a Republican, with passing the Medicare Prescription plan in 2003. This is also known as Medicare Part D, and it helps fund prescription insurance for Medicare beneficiaries.Obama ran on a platform that included health reform. It seems like it is as tough to pass now as it was during the time of Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, and Bill Clinton. Politicians are still making deals behind closed doors, and of course, people are still shouting socialism.But some things have changed. The AMA now supports health reform. Many businesses are concerned about spiking costs of covering employees, and representatives have admitted they would like to see some reform that would help them. Even insurance companies have said they will cooperate.Hopefully, we can see some progress. I have no idea what will (or should) happen next. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/health-care-reform-wayback-a-brief-history-of-health-care-reform-in-the-usa,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Chinese Medicine Careers Today</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/chinese-medicine-careers-today,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/chinese-medicine-careers-today,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2023 07:47:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=50</guid> <description><![CDATA[Find Chinese medicine careers in the United States and Canada.

With the development of integrative and complementary medicines, Chinese medicine careers are on the rise. Traditional Chinese medicine including Tuina, acupuncture, and herbal medicine make up some of the broad practices that are integrated into Chinese medicine careers.According to the National Center of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Chinese medicine careers in acupuncture are among the most popular CAM practices in the United States. In a report published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Chinese medicine careers in acupuncture are “being widely practiced by thousands of physicians, dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners – for relief or prevention of pain and for various other health conditions.”1Chinese medicine careers encompass a vast array of natural healing techniques and modalities, including meridian therapy, Tai Chi, Qi gong, Chinese medical massage (Tuina), acupuncture, herbology, moxibustion (cupping), and related health and wellness methods.While Chinese medicine careers can be quite lucrative, it is critical to understand that proper training and education is of utmost importance. Today, prospective candidates interested in pursuing Chinese medicine careers must have substantial instruction (and licensure, depending on specific field) in order to practice professionally. If you’re one of many students drawn to this ancient healing art, it is wise to carefully review state educational requirements and regulations regarding Chinese medicine careers. For example, Oriental medicine schools offering Chinese medicine academic programs may vary in length and specialty. Some training programs in Chinese medicine careers range from mere months, up to five years.Many Chinese medicine careers require a comprehensive education in anatomy, biophysics, Oriental medicine, nutrition, herbology, acupuncture, and needling techniques; this, in addition to clinical experience and prerequisite education from an accredited college or university. Furthermore, Chinese medicine careers often require certification and/or licensure; and depending on the state in which you reside, formal training requirements and internship programs may be different.If you (or someone you know) are interested in attaining one of several Chinese medicine careers, let education within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started!

They both are currencies in one form or the other and are open for public use across the world. But they are both different and distinct in their own ways. There is always one group that favors the use of cryptos, while the other has a soft corner for the fiat currencies.</p><p>In cashless society- crypto money play a huge role</p><p>If you have a look at the market of the 1970s and 1980s, you will find that the cash played the dominant role. But, with the change in the technology, electronic transactions have become the usual norm. Today, more and more people are influenced in becoming the cashless society. With the progress towards the cashless society, cryptocurrencies have a big role to play.</p><p>Crypto currency and fiat currency are always at loggerheads</p><p>Cryptocurrency and fiat currency are popular types of digital currency, especially when it is about an online transaction. They both are currencies currently in use in the market but have some differences in them. There is a hell lot of hypes that you will hear on a daily basis comparing the crypto money and the fiat money. This article will highlight the difference between the two in a more comprehensive and clear manner.</p><p>Differentiating in what the currencies stand for</p><p>Before going for the difference between the two, you must understand what do they stand for and how are they are defined.</p><p>The fiat currency is a legal tender that has the support of the central government, and it operates in the physical form. For instance, US dollars, British Pounds, Euro etc. On the other hand, the crypto currency is a non-legal tender, and doesn’t have any backup from the central government or bank.<br />Hence, the difference between crypto currency and fiat currency is noted as follows:</p><p>• Crypto-currencies are decentralized and global in nature. There are no one entity or government that controls the currency with their laws and regulations. The Fiat currency is centralized, under the control of the laws and regulations of the banks and government.</p><p>• Crypto-currencies have their existence only in the digital domain. On the other hand, you will find that the fiat currencies have a tangible and physical existence.</p><p>• There is a limited supply of crypto-currencies with a maximum set of them getting supplied in the market. Whereas, the fiat money has an unlimited supply as the government and bank are entitled to produce coins and paper money whenever the situation is required.</p><p>• The Bitcoin and other crypto type currencies are created by the computers, while the fiat currencies are issued by the local government and the banks.</p><p>• Cryptocurrencies are presented as the public and private code pieces. On the other hand, the fiat currencies are presented in the form of coins and paper money.</p><p>• The value of the crypto currencies is not recognized by the supply and demand of the market. Whereas, the fiat currency value is determined by the market regulations of supply and demand.</p><p>The different types of crypto and fiat currencies</p><p>In the last one decade, the popularity of crypto type currencies has emerged as a huge success. It was in 2009, when Bitcoin was first introduced, and years after several other types of crypto currencies have emerged. Starting from Litecoin. Dogecoin, Ripple to the Dcash and Zcash, there is a plethora of them. On the other hand, the fiat currency has a rich and ancient roots, with the Great British Pound, that dates back to 775 AD. It is considered as the oldest currency in the world that is still in use.</p><p>The differences in the anonymity between the two currencies</p><p>When you are using the fiat currencies, you need to undergo a user identification or verification process. You are asked to upload a recent picture of yourself and some of the required documents to be issued as per the public authorities. You don’t need to undergo any of the required processes with the crypto currencies. Though your personal information and confidential details don’t get public, but all your transactions are recorded and tracked in both the fiat and the crypto currencies.</p><p>Fiat currency vs crypto currency: transparency level</p><p>• The transparency level with the crypto type currencies are considered to be more. This is because the revenue streams are displayed in a public chain. Everyone can witness their own and others’ transactions.</p><p>• The fiat or govt. currencies are not transparent, as there are not public chains to see the revenue streams of the people.</p><p>A comparative historical roots</p><p>If you compare the crypto money with that of its counterpart, fiat or government currency, you will find that their existence and creation brings the difference. The Fiat or government currency, dates back its existence as early as 775 AD with the introduction of the Great British Pound. This is why fiat type currency is easily accepted by the people all over.</p><p>On the other hand, the crypto coin was perhaps first introduced only a decade ago, with the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. The challenge that the Bitcoin and other crypto currencies face is catching up with the immense popularity and increasing fan base of the fiat currency. Crypto currency, is no doubt gaining importance and popularity in the economic market, but it has still not been accepted widely in the society as the fiat currency.</p><p>A comparative history of the two currencies:</p><p>• It was in the 11th century, when the Chinese Song dynasty was perhaps the first one to issue the paper money. It was not allowed to exchange with valuables like gold and silver or silk.</p><p>• There were Tally sticks that were introduced as a fiat or government currency. 1100 Tally sticks were introduced as a combat for the shortages in gold.</p><p>• 1971, was the year, when the fiat currency received a worldwide recognition. President Nixon introduced it in order to eliminate the dollar pegging system to gold.</p><p>• It was in 1998, when the idea of an anonymous electronic cash system emerged by Wei Dai. Bitgold-the very first crypto currency was created by Nick Szabo, but it didn’t receive as much attention as Bitcoin.</p><p>• In 2009, Bitcoin was introduced in the market, that became the first crypto currency that was accepted across the globe. In 2011 and after, a series of several other crypto currencies were introduced. Some of the popular ones include, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Zcash, Dash and so on.</p><p>The traits of both the currencies</p><p>The potential of the crypto type currencies and fiat currencies, accessing their traits is important. You will find that in some of the criteria, Bitcoin and other crypto currency is superior than the fiat or government currency, and in some cases, the latter surpasses. It is absolutely your call to choose the type of currency (crypto type currency or fiat type currency) based on your personal needs and requirements.</p><p>Let us compare their traits with respect to certain factors.</p><p>• Both the crypto coins and fiat type currencies are interchangeable in nature.</p><p>• As per the portability is concerned both the currencies secure more or less the same position.</p><p>• With respect to the non consumable criteria, crypto currency and fiat type currency have the equal status.</p><p>• Crypto type currencies have high durability as compared to the fiat-currencies that have moderate level of durability.</p><p>• Both the crypto or virtual currencies and the fiat or government currencies ensure secure and safeguarded transactions and exchange.</p><p>• Crypto or digital currencies are highly divisible in nature. On the other hand, the fiat type currencies are moderately divisible.</p><p>• In terms of the transaction process, the crypto currencies are easy and hassle free. Whereas, on the other hand, the traction process associated with the fiat currencies are easy, but not like the cryptos.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies are decentralized and global in nature, unlike the fiat currencies that are centralized and functions under the laws and regulations of the government.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies have high scarcity, where as, the fiat currencies are unlimited as the government can issue coins and paper money whenever there is a need.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies are based on mathematical algorithms, and are programmable. The fiat currencies are not at all programmable.</p><p>• The fiat currencies are sovereign in nature, while the crypto currencies are not.</p><p>The process of the functioning of the currencies</p><p>You can find the significant differences between the crypto or digital currencies and the fiat currencies with the way they both operate and the transaction process that take place. They are contrasting in nature. The transfer of money using the Bitcoin is very quick, and you absolutely don’t need any third party association.</p><p>On the other hand, if you are involved with the money exchange using Fiat type currency, a mobile wallet is in use. You can exchange an amount of e-money that gets transferred into the equal e-value amount. Both the fiat and the crypto currencies enable you to purchase everything that you desire. But the processes involved are absolutely distinct from each other.</p><p>Depending on the things you purchase, you will find that one currency form is better than the other. This is absolutely your choice.</p><p>Is Bitcoin, a crypto currency better than the fiat-currency?</p><p>The long term benefits and the capability of the Bitcoins is still not established. But it has been predicted by the crypto currency gurus and experts, that they will go a long way, especially revolutionizing the way the online transactions are done. In the current market, the Bitcoin is mainly included in the online casinos and the gambling, but it is not limited to it.</p><p>Furthermore, when you compare the fiat currencies, the Bitcoin allows you to seize the power and authority from the banks and the government since it is not controlled. The cryptography based currency has the capability to create or come up with the free market capitals. Fiat currencies are affected by the inflation and the changes in the market, unlike the crypto based currencies. Such aspects make individuals believe that cryptograph based currencies will soon take over the mainstream currencies and bring a transformation in the way the money is used.</p><p>Why is Bitcoins considered to be a better aspect than the fiat type currencies?</p><p>• Bitcoin gives you the opportunity to re-create a free market capitalism.</p><p>• The power of controlling the money is absolutely with the individuals, and not with the banks like the fiat type currencies.</p><p>• When there is an inflation, the Bitcoin is not affected. But the Fiat type currency will be easier to lose and get affected by it.</p><p>• The Bitcoin currency is easy easier to exchange and transfer as compared to the fiat or government currencies.</p><p>• The transaction fees involved with the Bitcoin are way cheaper and easily affordable.</p><p>Crypto currencies seem to be a favorable option among the people</p><p>The fiat type currencies are the centralized and legal way of exchanging money. But, the crypto currencies have acquired immense popularity in the past few years. There will never be anyone who would act as a middle man, like the case with the banks. Moreover, the cryptos are way cheaper and less expensive that the conventional fiat currencies.</p><p>Send money anywhere directly without waiting for the bank’s approval</p><p>You can send money to anyone in the world directly, and it is super fast. The money gets cleared within a few minutes time. You don’t have to wait for the traditional clearing and verification processes of the banking systems, which might take up to several days to get a clearance. Since it is decentralized and doesn’t come under the law and regulations of the government, nobody has any power to do anything with your account.</p><p>The blockchain technology has a very big role to play</p><p>Thanks to the crypto currencies, that gives us the power and the authority to become our very own bank, and take control over our finances. It is because of the blockchain technology that offers a higher level of sophistication while dealing with the finances. In fact, there are some mainstream financial industries that have started incorporating the idea of the technology.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://mhguodums.info/crypto-currency-vs-fiat-currency,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Are You Choosing the Right Stock Market Advisory Company</title> <link>https://mhguodums.info/are-you-choosing-the-right-stock-market-advisory-company,html</link> <comments>https://mhguodums.info/are-you-choosing-the-right-stock-market-advisory-company,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:35:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[financial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[help you]]></category> <category><![CDATA[planners]]></category> <category><![CDATA[point]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mhguodums.info/?p=46</guid> <description><![CDATA[What do you do if you want to learn driving a car?
