Five mistakes to avoid when investing in ICO |
During the Initial Coin Offering (ICOs), many investors face difficulties arising from a lack of understanding of this business' fundamentals. Experts have provided a list of the most common misconceptions that investors have to deal with.

Many beginning investors are full of enthusiasm and ready to invest in the development of the crypto sphere. Most often, they need to invest in the Initial Coin Offering (ICO). However, there are so-called "pitfalls" that can lead to collapse. Experts suggest paying attention to the most common of them.
Any ICO will be successful
Every newcomer to the crypto world wants to believe that by launching the process of Initial Coin Offering, they will be able to raise enough funds for the further implementation of the project. However, the reality is that few investors succeed in doing this. In 2017, according to statistics, about 46% of all ICOs ended in failure. Nevertheless, with a well-prepared project and a good team, you can count on success.
Tokens and coins are synonyms
Both terms are most often used as interchangeable, synonymous terms. However, there are differences between them: coins are exclusively a means of payment, and tokens are multifunctional. In addition to the function of the means of payment, they have cryptographic value in the blockchain system.
Any consultant on cryptocurrencies is an expert
A common misconception of novice investors is their excessive credulity to almost all consultants on cryptocurrencies. Having no experience, it is difficult to identify an amateur in this area, especially one who can brightly and beautifully express his thoughts. However, here one has to be a consultant to oneself and deal with digital assets.

All listing sites are similar
At first glance, most of the listing sites represented on the Internet are very similar. However, there are distinctive details that are not always visible to a novice businessman. In this situation, it is better to seek professional help.
Regulators do not care about the crypto sphere
At present, sectoral regulation remains a problem for the global crypto market. However, do not be mistaken about the inaction of regulatory institutions. They are always on the alert. Most regulators have to be careful about a new area for them, trying to understand what leverages can be used.

Currency battles continue with yuan still holding its end up |
Despite the ongoing trade wars, where China just has to fight back, the local currency not only holds its end up, but also attacks skillfully. Just a few days ago, the yuan held an excellent five-day session against the US dollar. Seizing the moment when the greenback lost its appeal for a while and pulled back from the recent gains, the yuan began gaining ground.
Other circumstances were also favourable for the Chinese currency. Negotiations between officials of the two countries, albeit at the middle level, calmed investors down a bit. In addition, the dollar turned out to be under pressure after Donald Trump expressed strong criticism against the leadership of the Fed and protested against the interest rate hike. Such a difference in views resulted in the dollar’s decline.
Some experts associated the short-term outlook for this currency pair with the outcome of the recent negotiations between the US and China, but given the composition of official delegations, a breakthrough in the trade dispute is unlikely. This means that the yuan will not be able to resist the dollar for a long time. Meanwhile, China uses the yuan as a wise weapon in the trade conflict. Against this background, Trump's accusations of manipulating exchange rates appear to be convincing.

Passenger drones: the future of unmanned transport |
Existing models of electrically powered drones, requiring control and possessing modest technical characteristics, can take a maximum of one person to the air. We suggest to find out from our article what companies are currently working to turn drones from a single-seated toy into everyday mode of transport.
In January 2016, at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas, the Chinese EHang company presented a self-controlled aircraft, Ehang 184, the cabin of which accommodates one person. The drone is equipped with eight propellers, powered by electric motors, and is capable of achieving a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The maximum carrying capacity of the device is 118 kg, the flight range is 18 km, and the flight height is 3.3 km. Dubai plans to launch an unmanned taxi based on it. It is known that a two-person model is currently being developed and certified.
In June 2017, the US Workhorse company introduced a passenger drone Surefly, designed for two people. According to the developers, this is the world's first personal hybrid octocopter, which can reach the height of 1.2 km with a payload on board of up to 200 kg. According to the reported data, the maximum speed of Surefly is 113 km/h, and an approximate range is about 110 km. It is assumed that the first versions of the aircraft will be manned, and then there will be models that operate in the autonomous mode.
Volocopter is a two-seat multicopter created by the German company of the same name in partnership with Intel Corporation and shown for the first time in April 2017 at the air show in Friedrichshafen. The dron can follow the route autonomously, and is fully electric. It has 18 motors and 2 navigation systems: the main and spare. In case of an emergency, a ballistic parachute is provided. According to some reports, Volocopter 2X which can stay in the air for about 30 minutes, overcome a distance of about 30 km, and accelerate to 100 km/h, has been already put into serial production.
The British Rolls-Royce Group company promises to establish a serial production of the EVTOL air taxi by 2020, which will be able to move at a speed of 400 km/h, fly up to 800 km, and transport up to five people simultaneously. In addition, the aircraft will be able to take off and land in an upright position. Engineers expect that the device can be modified for personal use, as a truck, as well as for military needs. It is expected that the aircraft will be initially controlled by a pilot, but in the future, it will become unmanned.
In three years, the American Uber Technologies company intends to run transportation service with the help of an unmanned air taxi, Uber Elevate. It is assumed that the residents of Los Angeles will be the first to test it. It is known that the company has already signed an agreement with NASA to create the system of logistics and traffic management for aircrafts. According to the representatives of Uber, the air taxi will serve tens of thousands of flights a day at an average travel price of only $20, and it will take less than half an hour to fly over Los Angeles from one end to the other.
Three British companies are inviolved in the project to develop the Volante Vision flying vehicle: Aston Martin (responsible for design of the aircraft), Rolls-Royce Group (hybrid electric power plant), and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (electronics, including autopilot and electrical systems). According to the engineers, the self-controlled device with upright take-off and landing will be able to transport three passengers and will be targeted at flights with high comfort in cities and suburban areas. Technical details of the project are not disclosed yet.

Venezuela’s bolivar continues to depreciate |
Venezuela’s bolivar continues to depreciate
One of the most vivid examples of almost developed socialism, Venezuela, clearly demonstrates all the 'advantages' of this model of society. A country with huge oil reserves has been unable to get the best out of it for several years. Under the direction of President Nicolas Maduro, the local population continues to live below the poverty line, while the national currency depreciates at a rapid pace.
Just recently, the official rate of the US dollar in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which is set by the Central Bank of
Venezuela, jumped by 24 times. The reason for this was the currency redenomination. Venezuela's national currency was set by the regulator at the level of about 60 ‘sovereign bolivars’ to the US dollar and 68.65 ‘sovereign bolivars’ to the euro. Rates seem good. However, it should be noted that the official exchange rate in the country is of little concern to people; it is unreal to buy dollars and euro at these rates. Before the denomination, the black-market exchange rate was 3 million bolivars per dollar. But there is good news. Less than a month ago, Nicolas Maduro has ordered a 60% increase in the country's minimum wage. Now it amounts to 3 million bolivars. Thus, including food subsidies, the guaranteed income will increase to 5.2 million bolivars, which is approximately equal to 1.85 dollars.
The currency reform was launched to somehow address this financial issue. As a result, Venezuela cut five zeros from its currency, and the rate of the sovereign bolivar was tied to the Venezuelan cryptocurrency, Petro, which, in turn, depends on the cost of a barrel of oil produced in the republic.

Most high yielding currencies in 2018 |
Experts can not always explain the explosive growth of some world currencies. They fix this fact and draw the attention of market participants to it. Specialists are ready to acquaint the present and future investors with the most profitable funds.
According to experts, the world has a small number of currencies, whose growth can be called active. However, they will be able to bring investors the maximum profit, experts are sure. Analysts offer to look at the list of such financial assets.
Swiss frank
Experts consider this currency to be one of the fastest growing. In 2006, one Swiss franc cost 22 rubles, and in 10 years it went up to 74 rubles. As a result, the increase was an impressive 237%. However, a number of analysts believe that this currency is overvalued.
Chinese yuan
The second place among high yielding assets is occupied the national currency of China. Until 2005, the yuan was tied to the US dollar, but later the Chinese authorities weakened it. This allowed them to accelerate the growth rate of the national economy. As a result, over the past 10 years, the Chinese currency has grown against the Russian ruble by a record 228%.
Israeli shekel
The national currency of Israel took the third place in the list of actively growing financial assets. Over the past decade, it managed to rise by a solid 216% against the ruble. The Israeli currency has shown similar indicators in relation to the US dollar. Experts note the floating but relatively stable exchange rate of the shekel.
Singapore dollar
Over the past decade, the national currency of Singapore has also demonstrated a significant rise against the Russian ruble. The Singapore dollar increased by a significant 206% against the payment means of the Russian Federation. In many respects it was promoted by active economic growth in the country, analysts note.
US dollar
The American currency, to the surprise of specialists, did not hit even the top five of the most profitable ones. In relation to the Russian ruble, it held the eighth place. For 10 years, the growth of the US dollar was about 170%, despite the worldwide popularity. Note that the European currency, actively used in Russia, did not hit even the top 10 most highly profitable world currencies. It took 26th place, demonstrating a slight increase against the Russian ruble.

Tough US economic course is bearing fruit
You can differently treat the trade policy of Donald Trump, but the facts so far are on his side. Perhaps in the long run such aggressive economic behavior will add a negative to the official data, but now statistics look more than great. The American economy is experiencing almost explosive growth, and this pleases the US President.
Trump described the current state of the country's economy as excellent and separately highlighted funds flowing to the United States. "Our Economy is doing better than ever. Money is pouring into our cherished dollar like rarely before, companies’ earnings are higher than ever, inflation is low and business optimism is higher than it has ever been," Trump wrote on Twitter.
You cannot argue with statistics. While some countries are intensifying hostile rhetoric toward the US, predicting an early economic collapse for the US, data on capital infusion into the US economy indicate a high level of confidence among investors, which in turn raises the value of the dollar. The US currency has risen in price since the beginning of August compared to the rest of the world's currencies.
The growth of the dollar was noticeable in Russia. The ruble reached new 2-year lows amid tightening of sanctions and the collapse of the Turkish lira due to the introduction of US restrictive tariffs against Turkey.
The crisis in relations with Ankara provoked a large-scale outflow of capital from emerging markets, which additionally affected Russia.
