Who knew a simple cryptocurrency which started as cheap as just a dollar would become as valuable as $20,000 per coin! Bitcoin took the world of the Internet by storm and set a record-breaking price.

It’s not where the currency has come to a stop, but it is ever-evolving. According to analysts, Bitcoin will witness rapid growth in the coming years. Just during this bull-run, the FXStreet estimated a single Bitcoin price to reach an alarming rate of $300,000 above & more.

But before we begin with learning where we can find the best price for Bitcoin, let’s first identify what Bitcoin is and how much potential this digital currency upholds in the growing industries.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency that is more commonly used as an investment for making online purchases and more. It is a currency sponsored by the government. It works through a system where people in the Bitcoin community earn coins through a sophisticated method called “mining.”

Using the best computer technologies and working on complex algorithms, the machine searches for Bitcoins to take a painstakingly long process to mine a single Bitcoin.

Based on the market value of Bitcoin, you can sell or purchase the cryptocurrency anywhere you want. One thing to keep in mind is that Bitcoin is not backed by any government. Bitcoin is part of a system or a community where you can earn coins through mining, as discussed above. The currency can also be purchased in digital wallets through different bitcoin exchanges. It works similarly as a stock market exchange does.

In short, Bitcoin is expressed as the future of currency.

Which Is the Best Exchange to Purchase Bitcoin?

If you can’t set up your own mining gig to extract Bitcoins, my recommendation is that you go for purchasing Bitcoin at an exchange. Choosing the right exchange can be quite overwhelming and if you’re not quite sure about which mining exchange can be the best option for you, let us help you out.

Here are five mining exchanges that I believe are worth consideration.

1) Coinbase

Without a doubt, Coinbase is one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges in the market. With Coinbase, you get not just an exchange but also a digital wallet. It is one of the easiest places to find & purchase your Bitcoin currency. You can purchase Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash & Litecoin from this place.

When you purchase a cryptocurrency from Coinbase, it charges you a fee of 1.49% for U.S transactions through a bank account. If you purchase it using a credit or debit card, you get a charge of a 3.99% fixed rate. Why do I believe Coinbase is a great option? It’s because Coinbase keeps 98% of your cryptocurrency in an offline location.

2) Cash App

Here’s a mobile app through which you can purchase & sell Bitcoin without incurring any additional cost. Although the app is normally used for transferring money, because of its free transactional nature, it is considered one of the top apps for Bitcoin currency exchange. Among the best crypto to buy, Ethereum is one that I believe holds a significant potential of growth. It is also a very stable currency and holds a great potential for growth in the coming days.

Powered by Square, Cash App is a huge financial technology where multiple transactions take place. It includes multiple services, including Bitcoin transactions, which is a small part of the entire gig.

3) Binance

Binance is another cryptocurrency exchange that includes plenty of different cryptocurrencies. It includes cryptos such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and its very own Binance Coin. The transaction fees for Binance goes as low as .1%, so if you want to get the best rates for multiple transactions, Binance is your best bet. Binance allows you to make quick trades on various digital currencies such as TRON, ICON, Ethereum Classic, EOS, Litecoin, Stellar Lumens, Ripple and a bunch of other ones.

If you are looking for a platform where you can make many exchanges at a low price tag, Binance is your one-stop-shop solution for everything. You can access it through a desktop as well as your Android app. There are reports of delays during transactions, but altogether, it is a great app.

4) CoinMama

Looking for an all-in-one exchange with a digital wallet for easy transactions, Coinmama is a great platform where you can change different currencies. You can easily exchange additional currencies, including U.S Dollars to Euros and much more. The site comes with more than 2 million customers in 188 countries. An easy feature allows you to purchase Bitcoin in just a handful of clicks from the homepage. The exchange further offers you to make real-time transactions. You only get charged for a higher fee, which goes as much as up to 3.9% on commission. Just buy and sell transactions for 0.9%. If you perform the transaction using a credit or debit card, it can go as much as up to 5%.

For now, there’s only a website. There’s no mobile app for using the platform.

Coinmama is a registered business in the United States and well recognized by the government.

Is Cryptocurrency a Good Investment?

Cryptocurrency has a vast potential and growth structure. If you haven’t thought of making due investments in the past, now is the time to make some. The market is currently on a rapid growth because of the bull-run, but by the end of this year, the market will come to an abrupt close. And when from there onwards, the currency value will start coming down, making it the best time to invest. You can put your money in and wait for the next few years for the currency to reach an alarming value for the long term. It can be an excellent investment for you and future businesses.

Why Should Business Leaders of UAE Look Into “Tech-Intensity” After 2020? https://www.branex.ae/blog/business-leaders-uae-look-tech-intensity-2020/ Wed, 07 Oct 2020 13:42:28 +0000 https://www.branex.ae/blog/?p=6202 There’s a common misconception that when we talk about software engineers, we picture geeky enthusiasts sitting behind screens and working their fingers to the bone on...

The post Why Should Business Leaders of UAE Look Into “Tech-Intensity” After 2020? appeared first on Branex Official Blog.

There’s a common misconception that when we talk about software engineers, we picture geeky enthusiasts sitting behind screens and working their fingers to the bone on a keyboard. However, things are now transforming, which is certainly not the case for every organization worldwide.

It is observed that tech professionals are widely accepted and hired in non-tech companies rather than tech firms. Technical specialists’ percentile growth is 11% faster in the non-tech industry than in tech-related industries. The following percentage was initially researched and addressed by Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadela, who revealed it during a tech event back in 2018. Since then, it has now become a trend and is expansively growing at an accelerated pace.

Just take a look at the automotive industry globally and study their hiring patterns. It is observed that automotive industries are now hiring more software engineers as much as they are hiring mechanical engineers and the reason behind it is simple. The world is advancing towards implementing more technological solutions and relying less on the workforce to operate them.

Software advancements are not limited to specific IT departments of various organizations. Instead, they are now hiring multiple software engineers to work with them in different departments such as finance, HR, production/operations, and SEO marketing. Wherever any business is observed lacking digital literacy, software developers are found to complete the equation.

Such advancements are allowing non-tech organizations to go beyond the line of performance.

As Microsoft terms it, we are entering into the new era where software developers in different departments are leveraging technology to enhance productivity and enhance operational efficiency.

The idea of using technology to make everything empowered digitally is what sets the very foundation of “tech-intensity.” Wondering what tech-intensity is & how it is defining the next decade? Let’s explore.

What is Tech Intensity?

The concept “tech intensity” was initially introduced at the Microsoft Ignite conference in the year 2018. Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, brought the concept that digital transformation and cloud technologies are an essential component for every organization. Whether they are tech-empowered businesses or non-tech work zones, digital transformation is an integral part of the organization’s progress. However, some organizations go beyond leveraging the cutting edge technologies to innovate & develop more robust solutions to gain competitive advantage. These are the organizations that are empowering themselves with what Microsoft terms as Tech-Intensity.

Forbes explained what Microsoft believes tech intensity feels like from the perspective of Nadella,

“Nadella described tech intensity as a fusion of cultural mindset and business processes that rewards the development and propagation of digital capabilities that create end-to-end digital feedback loops, tear down data silos, and unleash information flows to trigger insights and predictions, automated workflows and intelligent services.”

In the Future, Every Organization Will Become a Tech Firm

In the simplest of terms, tech intensity is the rate at which organizations are adopting technology to build their digital capabilities to work in coherence with the changing times.

For instance, up till now, many organizations have looked towards digital agencies and software firms to help establish their digital presence and implement technologically organization-wide. However, with a tech-intensity, they will now be able to implement these technologies themselves. They can exploit technology to enhance productivity and improve overall work efficiency accordingly.

If there’s one thing that is rapidly changing, then it’s the workforce, which mostly comprises Generation Zers and Millennials. This particular generation is quite tech-savvy. Hence, when they start working in a non-tech related firm, they will expect to work in a workplace environment that is appropriately equipped with the right technological tools.

The workforce in the present era comprises 59% of the individuals coming from these two generations. These individuals have different perspectives, and they work on technologically adept working models. More than 67% of the millennials expect employers to have a purpose. They want them to create a social impact, and Generation Zers are commonly capable of doing it with their social media influencing skills.

In short, if you are not part of the growing social media club in the coming decades, you will fall behind in the rat’s race. Another thing that will increase the tech-intensity for employees in a particular organization is how effectively they will implement software solutions to enhance their operational efficiency. With the introduction to Operation 4.0, organizations are now focusing on four key areas:

  1. Product Driven Processes
  2. Cost and Budget Driven Processes
  3. Journey Driven Methods
  4. Manufacturing Driven Factors

Combining all of these four areas into a single dashboard technology, software specialists can enable operation managers and employees involved with the internal operations to harness the most effective way to solve operation and production problems in coherence with the routine day queries.

Such implementations are observed in the Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) in the UAE market, where bankers are introducing robust solutions to boost digital transformation. They are leveraging dashboards to centralize their operations. While every organization worldwide aims to adopt new technological advancements and rapidly transform, organizations across the UAE are no exception. It’s just a matter of time until every company in UAE will have software engineers at work with them to help recreate technological infrastructures and deploy effective digital processes.

The Use of Advanced Technology in Business Operations

With the advent of AI and Machine Learning, many businesses are now changing how they once operated. IT can make performances more pervasive, and according to MEA business leaders, almost 30%of these individuals leverage the power of AI in research, and nearly 20% expressed how AI has become a hallmark for increasing operational efficiency. The remaining 18% of MENA leaders show how AI developments are affecting sales & marketing and helping them progress.

Microsoft explains how tech intensity has become the center of how businesses can empower partners & customers. Instead of focusing on specific solutions, they aim to show how the entire organization can create their digital solutions as per their particular requirements. It will not only create a variety of opportunities but also help the business to improve dramatically. Are you a non-tech business aiming to expand? How about you consider boosting tech-intensity?

Please share your thoughts with us.

UpdateDue to the massive outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic, the UAE government feels saddened to announce that they are planning to postpone the Expo 2020 Dubai event until the next year 2021. They are extremely apologetic to all their international stakeholders and people who were looking forward to attending the event. The difficult decision was made as a collective one by the Steering Committee in collaboration with the International des Expositions (BIE). For now, they have planned to postpone it for one year but based on the changing dynamics of the world, they will establish/update a new date on the official Expo 2020 website in the coming days. 

With less than 900 days to go, the development of the World Expo 2020 is progressing towards its initiation at an astonishing speed. More than 15,000 workers have dedicated their lives to the project, having invested more than 16 million hours to date, transforming the vast desolation of South Dubai into a mesmerizing destination, the likes of which our world has never seen. With a jaw-dropping architecture and all constructions projected to be completed a year before the official launch, Dubai Expo 2020 aims to bring more than 180 nations together under one umbrella.

If you ever get a chance to visit the outskirts of the South of Dubai, you are bound to come across heavily loaded trucks entering the zone every few minutes, crammed up to the brim with construction material. Currently, the entire zone is under construction and the only perceptible architectures to date are the headquarters for the Expo 2020 and a half-sized mock-up of a country pavilion. Also, there dotting the barrenness is a concrete batching plant, some air-conditioned resting huts, substations, tower cranes, and base foundations for other structures.

As far as the commute is concerned, an extended metro system connects the Al Maktoum airport directly with the Expo 2020 site. Whereas, civil engineers and architects are also reusing steel from the previous buildings keeping the aspect of sustainability in mind. Furthermore, the on-site lamp lights are mostly solar-powered, and all the excavated earth is being reused in construction. More than 5,000 cubic meters of concrete and more than 500 tons of steel are brought into the construction site every week, and already three of the districts have been completed.

With so much going on around in the world of Dubai Expo, we often wonder who is beyond this ultimate construction and what is the legacy behind it all. Let’s find out.

 

Who is Behind the Ultimate Construction of the Dubai Expo 2020?

Ahmed Al-Khatib, the senior vice president for the real-estate business. is the brains behind the ultimate construction of the Dubai Expo and is putting his greatest efforts in creating the first World Expo in the MEASA region. Dubai has also shown a great inclination towards facilitating more than a billion individuals across the MEASA region. MEASA region stands for Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.

When Leaders like Al Maktoum back up the whole ideology of standardizing a Dubai Expo 2020, we can surely learn a whole lot more from them. Here are 10 Leadership Traits that you can learn from Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid who transformed the face of Dubai.

According to Al-Khatib, Dubai Global Expo can accommodate more than 25 million visitors and expects an estimated economic boost worth US $34.5 billion.

“This is a very complex project,” admits Al-Khatib. “We are building a city. Right now we are at around 7,000 workers on site and we are expecting to reach around 37,000. Then there’s the equipment, the lay down areas, the access roads, the food (how to feed everybody on site), the waste management. It will become more and more challenging as the countries start coming in. But we are taking all measures to make sure this is a very smooth and easy experience. The infrastructure and the power in any development are the most critical items and we are actually finishing them ahead of time.”

When asked how the team is performing their respective duties, Al-Khatib responded casually,

“Absolutely, there’s no pressure, I don’t think the team sleeps. We have consultants and contractors from all over the world, so if it is night over here, it’s morning in Chicago, so working around the clock is very, very necessary.”

“But it’s exciting and it’s literally a one-of-a-kind experience. I don’t know if I’m ever going to have the privilege to be part of a similar project again. It’s a university on its own. You think you know everything but actually when it comes to the amount of logistics, the amount of challenges, the different calibre of consultants and contractors, you’re constantly learning. But everybody’s working towards one goal: to make an exceptional experience for the visitors and for the country, and to make sure that it lives long in the memory.”

 

The Legacy of Dubai Expo 2020

The leadership of the Expo 2020 is committed to building a legacy that is sustainable and everlasting. The agenda is to expand its new architectural impact within the boundaries of the UAE and beyond. The Dubai Expo 2020 has a unified vision of “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”. The idea is believed to sustain not only for the six months of the World Expo but beyond it.

 

Economic Legacy

Year 2016 marks the date when Expo 2020 extended a hand of partnership towards WAMDA in the wake of harnessing the true power of collaboration in entrepreneurship ecosystem. WAMDA is a platform that aims to accelerate entrepreneurship in the MENA region. WAMDA and Expo 2020 held a staunch believe that cultivating such a relationship will ultimately unlock newer and better economic opportunities that will create possible gateways in the light of collaborative entrepreneurship.

The following initiative will help individuals and startups get easily connected with some of the greatest enterprise level organizations, who can help them scale exponentially and grow their respective businesses. More than 120 business leaders, in collaboration with 800 different startups operational within the UAE region, will perform further research in order to identify the trends and obstacles becoming a hindrance in the establishment of a collaborative ecosystem.

 

Social Legacy

Beyond the perceptible economic benefits, Dubai Expo 2020 will also focus on different aspects of social cohesion. The Emiratis know that the future of UAE lies in the hands of their youth, and hence, they want to nurture them into the future leaders of tomorrow. Expo 2020 will see the launch of a dedicated youth and children’s program, aimed at inspiring the young minds and empowering them to take ownership. Dubai Expo 2020 will further inculcate in the next generation new knowledge pertaining to sustainability, mobility and other potential innovations in technology.

For instance, Expo 2020 Dubai is joining forces with the leading vehicle manufacturer Nissan to demonstrate and showcase the future of intelligent mobility – starting with a fleet that includes electric vehicles. Moreover, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cisco will work closely to deliver a global event that is at the forefront of technological evolution and demonstrate how connectivity can be a force for social and economic good, in alignment with the event’s theme, ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.’

As Reem Al Hashimy, an Emirati Minister who has ample amount of experience in International Affairs under his belt and who started her career as a Commercial Attaché says:

“Our leadership, and it starts from Sheikh Mohammed, was very clear,” she adds. “That you guys are planning for an event that can’t be short of amazing. But he also said you need to make sure that it has a good legacy. With that he meant the social legacy is there, meaning the inclusion of people, getting them to feel that they’re part of it. The element of pride was very big. But also that the Expo is a vehicle for us to get people learning about things that are important for the future of the world. To inspire them, particularly the youth, and to make them feel that they have a part to play in this world.”

“We want people to remember their experiences here as one of the best they’ve had in their life. And I give the example of people I’ve met on this journey, who, for example, visited the Montreal 1967 Expo and as a result of it became architects. That’s legacy. For me, to meet a person who made a career out of being inspired by architecture that he saw at an Expo, that’s the sort of legacy we want to leave behind. It’s very social, it’s very inspirational, and it’s tangible.”

 

Conclusion

World Expos are aimed at fostering the perfect element of creativity which showcases innovation and promotes collaboration among the technological giants and enterprise businesses around the world. With more than 25 million visitors attending this great event, some global heads of the government are also looking to partake in the conference. Such an event creates a significant opportunity for a number of audiences to gain added economic and geopolitical benefits.

But who knows how much fortune an event like Dubai Expo 2020 can bring into the digital world; however, we still look forward to its inauguration.
