Video games like League of Legends (LOL), Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO), and Valorant often make the news due to their esports pedigree; however, the new Call of Duty (COD) is growing much more disproportionately.

The fact that the game is selling as fast as “digitally” possible, does not mean that the game is perfect in every aspect, though in terms of sales it certainly blows the competition out of the water.

While other countries have outright outlawed cryptocurrencies, Brazil is moving toward regulating their use as standard forms of payment across the nation. This move will open up a new horizon, allowing Brazilians to use their digital assets and make crypto payments for goods and services without converting crypto to fiat (traditional currency).
As crypto payments become available, crypto owners will finally get a chance to use their digital assets daily. That said, crypto payments will offer a convenience only a few people get to enjoy.
Even if everything goes according to plan, Brazilians won’t be able to use crypto as a satisfactory form of payment for monetary debts. In other words, Brazilians won’t be able to pay off their loans or other obligations with crypto, but they could still pay for goods and services with these digital assets.

We all like to praise Blockchain for its decentralized nature. But if it requires some hardware, it has to be in possession of someone, right? If we take Bitcoin as an example, miners worldwide were generous enough to invest in expensive hardware resources, which would become available to the whole network. For their contribution, they are awarded with new Bitcoins valued as much as the hardware power they provided. As a proof of their work, they are doing numerous computer operations to improve the system’s security and prevent cyber-attacks.
Google users tend to overestimate Incognito’s ability to guarantee privacy protections. As Google boasts that Incognito keeps browsing private but fails to ensure ultimate privacy, it’s questionable whether this tech giant can continue to falsely advertise Incognito mode.
