Bitcoin prices are climbing as much as $1,000 in a day, but a misconception about the legality of crypto money might be keeping investors out of the market.
To clear up this misconception, we wanted Money Morning readers to know it's legal for U.S. residents to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.
In fact, you can even buy Bitcoin with a credit card.
But before buying cryptocurrencies, we wanted our readers to know all the details about the misconceptions so you can be fully informed...
Crypto Money Still Trying to Shake Its Biggest Misconception
In 2008, someone going by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."
Nakamoto laid out the framework for a peer-to-peer network for electronic transactions. Instead of relying on central authorities, like banks and the government, Bitcoin would be controlled by its users.
A Bitcoin user wouldn't have to rely on a bank to confirm payments or wait on lengthy transaction times.
But some users are also drawn to Bitcoin because of its anonymous payments, and that also attracted a seedy enterprise: Silk Road.
Coinbase CEO: Everybody Is Interested in Digital Currency These Days
Ross Ulbricht, the reported creator of Silk Road, wanted it to be a platform where anyone could buy anything.
Of course, the platform become a hub for illegal products, since governments couldn't track who was buying or selling them thanks to the anonymity provided by Bitcoin.
When the website launched in February 2011, a Pennsylvania State University grad listed psychedelic mushrooms for sale priced in Bitcoin, according to Nathaniel Popper, author of "Digital Gold."
After the launch, the site sold everything from reindeer meat to instructions on how to hack ATM machines, according to 99Bitcoins.com.
Between February 2011 and July 2013, there were 1.2 million transactions completed on Silk Road, and the estimated sales revenue reached 9.5 million bitcoins.
At the time, that equated to $1.2 billion dollars.
Eventually Ulbricht was arrested, in October 2013, and charged with money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics, and attempted murder.
Because of the sensational story of Silk Road, some still believe crypto money is just used for illegal transactions.
But even though Bitcoin was used for illegal purposes, it is not and has never been illegal.
However, cryptocurrencies have always been more valuable for their potential to replace fiat money...
Just look at how much money has piled into Bitcoin and Ethereum. Since the start of 2017, Bitcoin prices have climbed 1,629%, and Ethereum prices have climbed 5,208%.
And now cryptos are going mainstream...
The CME will launch Bitcoin futures trading on Dec. 18, which is a sign of Bitcoin going mainstream. It will allow investors to speculate on Bitcoin prices, just like they would with oil prices.
Companies like Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) have also joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. It's a group working together to support smart contracts on blockchain technology, the ledger that records transactions.
Now, even with more mainstream adoption, Bitcoin is still a very speculative investment. There are price forecasts that show it climbing to $1 million a coin, but it could just as easily plummet to $0.
Having said that, Bitcoin's $278 billion market cap and 1,629% gains in 2017 show crypto money is more than just a trend.

On the heels of Facebook proclaiming commitment to its Check-in Deals marketing feature, the social giant is killing off Deals, its Groupon competitor. Four-month-old Facebook Deals has been live in five cities but apparently never gained traction in the crowded daily deals space.
In a prepared statement emailed to ClickZ, the Palo Alto, CA-based company said it was shuttering the project in the coming weeks. “We think there is a lot of power in a social approach to driving people into local businesses,” the release said. “We remain committed to building products to help local businesses connect with people, like Ads, Pages, Sponsored Stories, and Check-in Deals. We’ve learned a lot from our test and we’ll continue to evaluate how to best serve local businesses.”
It’s a good sign for daily deals leaders Groupon and LivingSocial. And Facebook’s departure might be a harbinger of things to come for big-name players that recently launched daily deals initiatives, such as Google Offers, Amazon Local, and Priceline. Just this past week, consultancy Forrester Research predicted that Groupon-like daily deals will eventually die.
So, Facebook will continue competing with Foursquare by still having a dedicated feature where local merchants and retail chains can run Check-In Deals. But Facebook will no longer chase Groupon’s business. The development underscores the challenges that differientiate relatively lightweight self-service geo-social marketing platforms like Foursquare from daily deals services, which require an intensive national sales force.
Instagram is determined to introduce as many new features as possible in 2016 and that's why it has launched Live video on Stories, as well as ephemeral posts on direct messages.
Audience targeting can be challenging in social media, especially when brands make quick assumptions about their target users. How can you avoid generalisation and what are the real benefits of it?
While it typically conjures up images of consumers clamoring for deals on big ticket items, American retailer Walgreens is hoping that this year it can be the first place consumers turn for inexpensive gifts like wine, candles and small toys.
Hashtags are not new in social platforms, but do you really know how to maximise their effectiveness?

Tri-State business leaders work to help restaurants during shutdown
There's no doubt that COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the restaurant industry.
With inside dining no longer an option, restaurants are investing in drive-thru, carryout, catering and delivery to stay afloat.
Business leaders in Washington County, Franklin County in Pennsylvania and Berkeley County in West Virginia have turned to Facebook to help. They've launched new sites that feature postings of menus and carryout options.
Tim Luipersbeck launched "Washington County Take Out & Delivery" for local restaurants to post their menu specials.
"I wanted to independently create a group where members and nonmembers alike can participate and interact with customers, and customers can share favorites, pictures, menus and recommendations, etc.," he stated in an email.
Luipersbeck, who works as the director of Member Services & Marketing for the Washington County Chamber of Commerce in Hagerstown, stressed that his Facebook group is not part of the chamber.
"The chamber, however, is doing a lot for restaurants," he stated. "In mid-March, I created a page on our website, www.hagerstown.org/restaurants to be a community go-to."
In neighboring Pennsylvania, the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce has formed its own restaurant carryout Facebook group — "Chambersburg Takeout Blitz."
The response has been positive.
"We were pretty much blown away," Communications and Marketing Manager Lark Kennedy said. "We launched it the end of March ... everybody loves it."
The Facebook site currently has 4,100 members.
Kennedy said the restaurants are "definitely" benefiting from being featured on the site.
In West Virginia, the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce in March launched the "Martinsburg-Berkeley County, WV Take Out and Delivery Options Amid COVID-19."
The social media site not only includes restaurants, but retail businesses.
"... These groups provide an opportunity for businesses to post information that is all in one place and easy to access," Tina Combs, president and chief executive officer, stated in an email. "We’ve gotten a good response from them, and a lot of positive comments."
Combs said they're not only using Facebook, but Twitter and email, to promote dining.
"Additionally, we are also offering complimentary (email marketing) for our members to send out information about their business," she stated.
"Lastly, we have also sent out a wealth of information to our members about the various resources available to them such as the (Small Business Administration) loans, unemployment regulations, etc.," she stated.
"... We want to do all that we can to support our local businesses, and encourage the community to support them, especially during this challenging time," Combs stated.
Coping in a new normal
The Rooster Moon Coffeehouse in Hagerstown's Long Meadow Shopping Center is seeing success with its carryout and drive-thru.
"We're doing well," employee Sierra Keefer said. "We're getting plenty of business, and we're staying busy."
Meanwhile, Luipersbeck stated that the Washington County Chamber of Commerce is using several other resources to help restaurants impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
"In addition to providing restaurants with relief resources from state and federal levels, we’ve been there from the very beginning, dedicating social media posts, newsletters, email blasts, and more to promoting restaurants fighting to stay afloat and operational," he stated.
They've also purchased space for digital billboards, one on the Dual Highway in Hagerstown, and another at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Maugans avenue.
"... These began running April 13th, and will continue running throughout this shutdown period," Luipersbeck stated.
Restaurants are finding varied success.
"... Some have remained operational since March, while others have gone through periods of furlough," he stated. "Some have decided to re-open...
"None of them have seemed to go through this without struggle and tough decisions," he stated. "It’s beyond important to support them, particularly during this time when many are still wondering about pending relief funding."

Supermarket chain Lidl had planned to demolish the former Abbey Cinema in Wavertree to build a new supermarket and create 30 jobs – but now the plans have been withdrawn. Tony McDonough reports
Plans for a new supermarket at the former Abbey Cinema in Wavertree, which would have led to 30 new jobs, are now in doubt after retailer Lidl withdrew its planning application.
Lidl had bought the site from Co-op, which had previously operated a store on the site. It proposed to demolish the building and construct a new 18,000 sq ft store. Some residents were in favour of the project but heritage campaigners quickly objected.
In April Historic England, the public body which protects old buildings, officially recommended the landmark site for listing at Grade II level, which means it cannot be demolished.
A spokesperson for Lidl told media outlet Place North West: “Following Historic England’s decision to the list the building, we have withdrawn our planning application while we consider our next steps.”
If Lidl wants to push on with the scheme it can submit a listed building application to Liverpool City Council which could grant it permission to demolish the cinema. It may also consider selling the site which was designed by architect Sir Alfred Ernest Shennan.
According to Historic England the former cinema is “an increasingly rare example of a medium-scale 1930s ‘super cinema’ built for a small independent local chain in the heyday of cinema design and cinemagoing”. It also features in the original draft lyrics of The Beatles song In My Life.
Place North West also quoted Stuart Jardine, Lidl’s regional head of property, who added: “Following thorough surveys and assessments of the existing building, it is quite clear that it is beyond economic repair.”
Local Liberal Democrat councillors had backed the heritage campaigners but local Labour councillor Clare McIntyre is dismayed at the decision. She posted on Twitter: “It shouldn’t have been political…it was about what the people that matter the most felt – residents – and they wanted this supermarket.”

Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman in 1938, is so rare that copies in good condition have fetched up to $1.5 million at auction. Now another high-quality copy of the comic, famously stolen from Nicolas Cage's home in 2000, might be headed to auction, and it could smash every comic sales record on the books.
Cage, a lifelong comics fan, once owned a massive vintage comics collection that included Action Comics #1 and Detective Comics #27 (the first appearance of Batman in 1939), but in 2000 he lost both of those rare jewels and one other unidentified comic to theft. Back in April, the Action Comics book was recovered in a San Fernando Valley storage locker, and Cage said he'd like to have it back, but insurance claims and other issues have made the ownership of the book unclear.
In the years between the theft and the recovery, Cage sold off the rest of his comics collection, and now it seems that this particular copy of Action #1 might also sold off through vintage comics dealer Comic Connect.
Of course, the value of the book would depend on its condition, which is still officially unknown, but an answer might lie in a recent grading by the Certified Guaranty Company (yes, that's what the CGC stands for on all those comics you see on eBay).
Bleeding Cool is reporting that the CGC recently posted an Action Comics #1 to their public database with a grade of 9.0. For a comic that's now 74 years old, a 9.0 grading is almost unheard of. An Action #1 with a grade of 8.5 was sold at auction for $1.5 million last year, making it the priciest comic book ever sold. It's rumored that there's another copy of Action #1 in a private collection that's in even better shape, but it's never been graded. This newly graded copy is the highest quality Action #1 that's ever been looked at by the CGC.
It's very unlikely that two such high-quality copies of the same very rare comic would show up at the same time, so the logical conclusion is that the new 9.0 Action is the one that belongs (or belonged) to Cage.
The book first appeared at auction in 1992, when it sold for $82,500. Cage bought it later from Comic Connect, and now it could become the next record-breaking comic on the block. So, if you have $2 million that you don't need for something else, keep your eyes peeled.

The Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) for the seventh year in a row was recognized as the best among Russian suppliers of pipe products for the oil and gas sector according to the results of a survey conducted by the rating agency "Center for Fuel and Energy Complex" (TEK-Rating) at the end of 2019.
The selection of the best manufacturers of products and services is carried out on the basis of a direct survey of Russia's largest customer companies in the oil and gas industry.

“We are grateful to our partners for the high assessment, we will continue to focus our efforts on making our products better, developing their properties and technical characteristics, ahead of the growing demands of our customers.

BE2C2 Report — Top fashion designers from India and Pakistan are all set to unveil bilateral chapter by showcasing where fashion industry is headed to in both neighboring countries.
Their latest work will hit the catwalk in Ramadan Souk at Jumeira Emirates Tower in Dubai.
By bringing fashion and shopping connoisseurs together for the first time from India and Pakistan under one roof, it would be an experience of individuality with creativity and fresh cohesive collections by the designers from both sides of the border, wrote the Gulf Times.
To be held tomorrow, the joint venture between Ensemble Dubai, the largest multi-brand store in Dubai and SoPritti – the exhibition is the requisite shopping terminus for women this summer to clutch the designer outfit they’ve been keeping an eye on for quite some time now.
SoPritti Events curates South Asia’s greatest fashion designers.
With over 70 topnotch designers from Pakistan and India under one roof, the show will feature clothes, shoes, accessories alongside menswear for all, specially the 3 million strong South Asian community — their largest ensemble in the world, and by all accounts having the highest disposal income.
Expats like attending exhibitions because they can find different designers under one roof. “It’s easier for them to shop at these shows than during their visits back home as they invariably have social commitments and are pressed for time,” said Manisha Kumar, founder of WOW Marketing which hosted the recent Numaish lifestyle exhibition in Dubai, reported Gulf News.
The Souk will feature latest collections by HSY, Deepak Perwani, Zainab Chottani, Nomi Ansari, Faraz Manan, Adnan Pardesy, Sania Maskatiya, Nida Azwer, Rina Dhaka, Tarun Tahiliani, Rabha’s by Ekta, Rabbani Rakha, Rozina Munib, Elan, The Pink Tree Company, Mahgul, Rimple and Harpreet Narula, Pallavi Puri, Rhea Pillai, Narmita Mehta and others.

Report: Sports to drive online TV boom
EmptyLONDON -- Premium sport content will drive online TV growth over the next five years, just as it did with the adoption of pay TV, according to Media analyst Screen Digest.
In its latest report, "Online Sports Video: Rights, Revenues and Forecasts," Screen Digest predicts that the number of sports video streams/downloads served in the U.S. and U.K. markets will more than double -- from 5.2 billion last year to 10.8 billion by 2012 in the U.S. and from 398 million to 1.2 billion in the U.K.
Online sports video, or OSV, accounted for 35% of all online TV streams/downloads in the U.S. in 2007 and 46% in the U.K., the report said. And revenue from the sector is predicted to increase from $762 million in 2007 to $2.3 billion in U.S. in 2012 and from 23.5 million euros ($45.6 million) to 82.9 million euros ($160.8 million) in the U.K.
But, it will be advertising, not subscriptions, that generate the lion's share of the revenue from OSV, Screen Digest said.
In the U.K., advertising will account for 61% of revenue by 2012, up from for 46.5% five years earlier. That will be twice the value of subscriptions. By comparison, in the U.S., advertising and subscriptions will contribute almost equal revenue by 2012, at 41% and 39%, respectively.
"Unlike pay TV sports, consumers have not been willing to separately subscribe to online platforms offering a 'TV bouquet-style' range of aggregated OSV content across multiple sports," the report said.
"Platforms such as ESPN and Sky Sports have moved toward offering online propositions as a mix of free 'value-add' to their existing pay TV sports customers, or free ad-supported content to the entire domestic Internet market. As a standalone proposition, the OSV subscription model has only found a degree of consumer favor when it has been presented as a single sports, single event or single club proposition."
The report also sounded a note of caution to existing media owners, suggesting that sports-rights owners now have the means to take their content directly to the end viewer, anywhere in the world, completely bypassing third-party aggregators and broadcasters such as ESPN and Sky Sports, and even potentially such online platforms as Yahoo!, YouTube and Joost.
In the U.S., the report noted, major branded sports including Major League Baseball have restructured their "single interest" content and online access into very effective subscription propositions, successfully signing up fans directly through their own Web properties.
Sports rights holders, Screen Digest continued, are increasingly in a privileged position to assess the value of selling their rights to third parties against the revenue potential of offering services directly to fans wherever they may be in the world.
"The Internet has revolutionized how and where people access content, and whilst attention has tended to focus on the impact that has had on the business of music and film, sport content has also been dramatically affected," report author Arash Amel said.
The report goes on to note that the "democratization of distribution" created by the Internet means that the sports rights holders can, for the first time, provide their own sports video services and directly compete with the very broadcasters and sports networks that traditionally pay huge sums for sports rights.

The all-in-one filtration solution Unico by VLS Technologies has been awarded the New Technology SIMEI 2017 in the Innovation Challenge SIMEI@drinktec 2017 of Unione Vini Italiana. The awards ceremony will take place on September 12th at Drinktec in Munich.
VLS Technologies is glad to announce that its Unico solution, an all-in-one filtration system for beverage and liquid foods has been awarded the “New Technology SIMEI@drinktec 2017”. The awards ceremony of Unico wine filter will take place on September 12th at 5 pm in C2 pavilion during SIMEI, the most important trade fair for wine and bottling technologies that will be held in strategical partnership with Drinktec, the world-leader trade fair for beverage & liquid food, from September 12th to 15th in Munich at Messe München.
The well-known award created by Unione Italiana Vini is an important recognition for VLS Technologies that testifies for the innovation of Unico technology, the multi-graded cross-flow all-in-one filtration system for heterogeneous mixtures of different food matrixes. VLS Technologies’ CEO Jacopo Velo is proud of this result: “This recognition awards the know-how of our company, with more that 30-year experience in the filtration and treatment of liquids for the wine market. But it also awards the courage in investing for research and innovation, a will that we always chase with certainty, being sure that, in order to emerge in the global market, it is necessary to anticipate the needs of clients offering solutions capable of improving their product and efficiency. Unico has been conceived starting from that idea: to provide an all-in-one filtration system for liquids dedicated to small and medium wine producers, with excellent standards of efficiency and savings, and a final result of the highest quality. We are proud of this award, since the value of our technology has been certified by a international reference point in the wine market as SIMEI”.
Innovation and technological creativity are the basis on which the Innovation Challenge SIMEI “Lucio Mastroberardino” has been founded, an award created by Unione Italiana Vini that offers a recognition to innovations in the field of oenology and bottling. “Italian technology has proved once again to be leader in the innovation for the wine market”. With those words Paolo Castelletti, General Administrator of Unione Italiana Vini (UIV), has commented about the results of the selection stage of Innovation Challenge SIMEI “Lucio Mastroberardino”.
VLS Technologies will be present at Drinktec (HALL C2 stand 506) with its most innovative solutions for cross-flow all-in-one filtration: besides Unico filter also Lees-Stop will be showcased, a filter that allow to avoid the use of rotary vacuum drum filters and diatomaceous earth through automatic filtration.
At Drinktec, VLS Technologies will also hold two presentations of his technologies for cross-flow filtration by the Area Manager Stefano Giacobini and the Sales Manager Francesco Chinni:
- “Unico Filter: the all-in-one filtration for small and medium producers” on September 12th, 10.30-11.00 am, Hall C3

Renowned cosmetics brand Estée Lauder is gearing up to make its entry into the metaverse by collaborating with Decentraland, one of the most popular metaverse projects.
As reported by WWD, the prestigious brand plans to distribute the first Non-Fungible Token (NFT) awards during Decentraland’s Metaverse Fashion Week, scheduled to take place from March 24 to 27.
The NFT awards draw inspiration from Estée Lauder’s product, Advanced Night Repair. For further details, you can find more information on Metaverseplanet.net.
Estée Lauder shakes hands with popular metaverse coin project
Estée Lauder has unveiled plans to distribute up to 10,000 NFTs during the upcoming Metaverse Fashion Week event.
Avatars within the Metaverse will have the opportunity to enter the iconic brown apothecary bottle of the Advanced Night Repair product to acquire the wearable NFT, promising users a ‘shining, radiant look,’ according to WWD.
Stéphane de La Faverie, group president of Estée Lauder, describes this initiative as “a pivotal point for Estée Lauder in how we reach and engage with new and existing customers across the metaverse.”
As various businesses across diverse sectors venture into the virtual realm, including banks and investment institutions, the entrance of a cosmetics brand into the metaverse aligns with this evolving trend. Preceding this move, Clinique had launched its first NFT, and P&G introduced its own virtual world, BeautySphere.
Jon Roman, Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Marketing and Online at Estée Lauder, expressed the company’s focus on engaging events as they seek to connect with this new consumer base in the metaverse.
Decentraland’s price is also increasing with its popularity
The Decentraland metaverse coin project recently reminded users of the upcoming fashion week, emphasizing the need for a digital wallet to collect rewards and encouraging users to set up their wallets to embark on their metaverse journey.
In parallel, Samsung announced the launch of its 837X on the Metaverse, offering users the opportunity to explore mysterious worlds.
In terms of market performance, the Decentraland token was trading at $2.46 at the time of writing, reflecting a 2.64% increase in daily trading. MANA’s 24-hour trading volume surged to $460,573,029, indicating a significant 43% increase. According to Coinmarketcap, MANA holds the 32nd position with a live market cap of $4.5 billion.

last week, 9to5Mac Apple has exclusively reported that it is developing a new “Mac Studio” desktop machine as a high-end replacement for the existing Mac mini. Now, the new leak claims to have seen for the first time the intended design of Mac Studio and Apple’s more affordable design to replace the Pro Display XDR.
Is this a Mac Studio design?
This leak is due to YouTuber Luke Miani, who has a proven track record of mixing with Apple’s leaks. For example, before the launch of the new MacBook Pro model last year, Miani claimed that the machine was limited to 32GB of RAM and had an illuminated Touch ID button. Neither of these panted out.
According to Miani, the new Mac Studio and low-cost external display will be unveiled at tomorrow’s “Peek Performance” Apple event.This will come later 9to5Mac Reported on Mac Studio development last week Bloomberg’■ Mark Gurman and trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported on the show over the weekend.
The Mac Studio design shown here is described as similar to a stack of two current Mac mini models. The machine features a silver design with rounded edges. It’s reportedly about the same size as the current M1 Mac mini, but 4 inches tall.
Meanwhile, the new display features a design inspired by the Pro Display XDR and the latest 24-inch iMac. The difference is that it is reportedly measured diagonally 27 inches, larger than the 24-inch iMac, and smaller than the 32-inch Pro Display XDR. It also doesn’t have a Pro Display XDR grid pattern on the back, nor does it have a Pro Stand.
9to5Mac Reported exclusively on Mac Studio last week. According to our sources, the machine has been tested in two different configurations. One has an M1 Max chip and the other has a new chip that is even more powerful than the M1 Max. According to our sources, the new MacStudio is codenamed “J375” internally.
Again, given Miani’s various achievements, I’ll treat this leak with some skepticism. Nonetheless, these renderings are interesting to watch as they continue to imagine how Mac Studio fits into Apple’s lineup. We learned more from Apple’s “Peak Performance” event tomorrow at 10am (Pacific Standard Time) / 1pm (Eastern Standard Time).

SEOUL, Mar. 10 (Korea Bizwire) — Domestic sales of South Korean luxury cars jumped some twofold in recent months thanks to demand for new cars and more competitive models, industry data showed Sunday.
According to the findings by the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association (KAMA), sales of the Genesis G90 and Kia K9 flagship sedans reached 1,955 units in November, up 78.1 percent from a year ago. Numbers shot up to 3,221 units for a gain of 235.5 percent on-year in December, with corresponding figures reaching 2,434 and 1,866 vehicles in the first two months of the year, respectively.
The sales number for January and February are an increase of 128.3 percent and 111.6 percent, respectively, from a year earlier.
KAMA said the uber luxury G90, the top of the line model for Genesis, Hyundai Motor Co.’s luxury brand, reached 3,000 units on the first day of preorders, with total sales of the full-size vehicle already exceeding the 5,000 unit mark.
The K9, also referred to as the K900 in foreign markets like the United States, sold an average of more than 1,000 vehicles from April of last year to January.
The association said solid sales come as consumers are drawn to new models and import carmakers, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, suffered from supply problems.
“To some degree supply shortages by foreign brands caused local car buyers to opt for new domestic offerings by Genesis and Kia,” a source at the automobile association said.
Reflecting this, sales of cars made by the two German luxury carmakers all declined from November 2018 through last month.
The industry insider added that carmakers are paying more attention to luxury models because they cannot be easily usurped by SUVs that are in a totally different segment and are in high demand at present.
Numbers showed that while overall passenger sedan sales in Asia’s fourth-largest economy contracted 11.9 percent on-year in February to 44,141 units, demand for luxury models jumped 111.6 percent.
The percentage of luxury car sales that stood at just 1.9 percent of the total in 2017, rose to 3.1 percent last year and stood at 4.6 percent as of February this year.
“Taking into account the importance of flagship models, the recent increase is a positive development,” a representative for a local carmaker said.
He added that with the release of the all-new Genesis G80 expected in the second half of the year and the launch of the BMW’s new 3 series coming at around the same time, competition for the domestic luxury carmaker is expected to heat up in the coming months.

THE ANDROID BASED Gamestick console will be sold exclusively through Game stores in the UK, priced at £79.99.
Just days after announcing that it will be selling the Ouya games console, Game is clearly looking to Android gaming for its comeback - having revealed that it will be offering the Gamestick exclusively too.
Keen gamers can head over to Game and preorder the Gamestick console now, and it's expected to start shipping in June. It will cost £79.99 for the Nintendo styled controller, and an accessories pack comprising an additional gamepad and a charging dock will add £34.99 to the total bill.
"We're really excited to be the only UK retailer to offer this product to the gaming community," said Game category director Charlotte Knight.
"We are constantly evolving our offer of gaming content, providing gamers with the options to game their way: the portability of the GameStick will make this even easier - gamers will be able to take their console anywhere and literally set up camp in front of any TV. We are confident that our gaming community will be eager to play with such a great console."
For those unfamilar with Gamestick, it is a Kickstarter funded console that comes with Google's Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system. In terms of technical specifications there's an Amlogic 8726-MXS processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and WiFi connectivity.
However, the Gamestick isn't really about specifications. Instead, it looks to bring Android gaming to the living room, which it does using its own custom marketplace via HDMI.
While consumers won't be able to get their mitts on the console for a few months yet, Gamestick is expected to ship to Kickstarter backers later this month.

Gateshead fair trade 'pioneer' Traidcraft faces closure
A firm which calls itself a "pioneer" of fair trade is consulting on closing its trading business.
Gateshead-based Traidcraft started in 1979 and sells goods sourced in developing countries.
Chief executive Robin Roth said a drop in the value of the pound and an "incredibly difficult retail background" were affecting Traidcraft's trading, which employs 68 people.
The company's charity arm Traidcraft Exchange will continue unaffected.
Mr Roth said while other companies could reduce what they paid to suppliers, Traidcraft continued to pay what it had promised.
He said that was part of the firm's ethics.
"We have a system of beliefs that we do not compromise and we take the consequences of that.
"There is an incredibly difficult retail background.
"Everybody is suffering and we are not immune to that," he said.
The firm's 30-day consultation is due to end in October and if closure is agreed, Traidcraft would cease trading in December.
Mr Roth said the impact on employees and suppliers would "pain me personally and pain us all".
But he said it would be "wrong to blame" the firm's ethics, adding: "We stand by what we do."
In statements on its website, Traidcraft said it had "pioneered" the notion of fair trade: "Almost everything we know today as fair trade began with Traidcraft."
It sells goods such as chocolate, coffee, tea, honey, rubber and palm oil, which it said was all sourced fairly.
Traidcraft works with more than 100 producers from 30 countries, with many of its products sold in UK churches and schools.
Mr Roth said an email address had been set up - firstname.lastname@example.org - for people to submit ideas and responses to the consultation.

On 12th On January 1, 2022, Warner Music Group (WMG) announced that it had acquired a majority stake in Africari – the first major acquisition of the year in the entertainment industry. Momentum in this direction increased with WMG’s initial investment in Africori in April 2020 at the height of the pandemic, followed by Africori’s signing of a global sub-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music France in December 2020.
In 2019, WMG signed a partnership deal with leading Nigerian record label Chocolate City and a licensing deal with Boomplay, raising $20 million. In the same year, French media giant Canal+ acquired Nigerian production studio ROK Film Studios from video-on-demand (VOD) company IROKO TV. In September 2018, Netflix acquired the worldwide rights to Genevieve Nnaji’s comedy Lionheart. In the same year, Black Panther became the first African-themed film with a predominantly black cast and became a worldwide hit, grossing approximately US$13.5 billion at the worldwide box office.
On January 19ththAugust 2022, Carry1st, a South African publisher of social games and interactive content across Africa, raised a $20 million Series A expansion led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). These brought great attention to Africa’s creative digital economy – the subject of this essay.
Africa’s creative digital economy, which encompasses music, film, art, fashion, cultural artifacts, apps and games, not only generates wealth for creators but also contributes to gross domestic product, exports and boosting development outcomes, according to the United Nations conference Trade and Development (UNCTAD). “The creative industries are now recognized as an instrument of sustainable developmentt,” says Marisa Henderson, director of UNCTAD’s creative industries program. UNCTAD defines this “creative economy”, also known as the “orange economy”, as the sum of all parts of the creative economy, including trade, labor and production. You’ve followed the trade in creative goods and services for almost twenty years and have consistently found that the growth rate of creative industries’ exports is outstripping that of other industries. It is estimated that Africa’s cultural goods sector employs around half a million people and generates revenues of US$4.2 billion.
“Digitization closes the gap between the creative economies of developing countries and world marketssays Makhtar Diop, chief executive of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). “This is important because the transmission of cultural wealth can mobilize social change and create jobs for young people.” According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), digital platforms encourage the growth of artists, performers, musicians and others by enabling them to create a global reach audience. The Creative Africa Nexus Summit (CANEX) in November 2021 in South Africa focused on Africa’s creative and cultural industries that bring creativity and technology together
Digital music streaming revenue in Africa is expected to reach US$500 million by 2025, according to the World Bank, up from just US$100 million in 2017.

Nomcebo), which became a worldwide hit during the pandemic. According to Yoel KenanFounder and CEO of Africari “African music inspires creatives from all over the world”. Alfonso Perez SotoEPP, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, Warner Music said “I am delighted that we will be working with Africori – and Yoel Kenan in particular – as they were pioneers and fought for the interests of artists and the music industry in Africa. We can harness the power of our global network to bring their great African music to a truly global audience.”
Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa, believes the African music industry is at a turning point. “We have artists who have already signed substantive deals with the biggest labels because everyone can clearly see that the demand is high and the world is ready for African pop music“. Sauti Sol, the pop band from Kenya, has attracted international attention.
MOVIE: Africa’s creative digital economy is also gaining global attention in the film/streaming sector. At the height of the pandemic, Netflix released its first two original African TV series, Queen Soto and Blood and Water. Streaming services like Netflix, Amazon and film studios including Disney and Cape Town Film Studios are investing heavily in African productions. Disney Animations has partnered with Uganda-based Kugali to bring an Africa-themed sci-fi animated series, Iwaju, to the Disney Plus service in 2023. Iroko TV announced last year that it would list on the London Stock Exchange to raise capital to compete with these global players entering the African market. Digital TV Research estimates that Africa’s streaming video-on-demand (SVOD) users will reach 13 million by 2025.
According to PWC, Nigeria’s film industry, known as Nollywood, is the largest private employer in Africa and one of the fastest growing creative industries in the world. Nollywood has the potential to become Nigeria’s largest export, with a CAGR of 19.3% from 2018 to 2023. SouthBox Based in Atlanta, USA, Entertainment, whose founder Jon Gosier lived in Uganda for some time, was inspired to invest in Defiant Entertainment’s Rise, a film about the terrorist group Boko Haram. To date, Southbox has financed one theatrical release feature and three streaming-launched feature films. SouthBox Entertainment is working with some local partners to launch an initiative called the Africa Media Trust Fund to direct investment into more African film and TV productions.

This was followed in January 2020 by Afreximbank – African Export-Import Bank’s announcement of a US$500 million loan facility to support African cultural and creative products.

When artists can develop local and global audiences with appropriate monetization, they become part of a sector that offers direct and indirect employment opportunities and is worth investing in“. According to him, new technologies such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) can help enforce copyrights and prevent piracy by helping artists get paid for their work, while Mobile Money (MoMo) platforms make it easier for consumers across Africa to to pay for movies. music and art.

The latest (second) trial version (beta version) of Android 12L is now available, the update dedicated to folding smartphones, tablets and other large-screen mobile devices. Here is the list of compatible equipment, as well as some of the main new features introduced in this trial version.
Although Android 12 was recently launched by Google in October 2021, the American technology company has a new leg of news for its mobile devices. A range of enhancements dedicated to the foldable smartphone niche that are also already gaining expression in the market.
The latest beta version of Android 12 for tablets and foldable arrives
The new build was recently announced, with corresponding release notes label it as an incremental update for programmers.
In fact, developers are encouraged to start testing their applications, SDKs and libraries for compatibility, as well as providing compatible versions and complex applications with the official SDK 32 API where necessary.
It should also be noted that a third test version (beta) will arrive during the next month of February 2022. This will be, according to Google, the last test build of Android 12 to arrive during the first quarter of the year.
System interface adapted to folding format and large screens
The primacy now given to the big screen was already expected by North American technology. In fact, as the previous post shows, focusing on the productivity that we can get from these larger devices.
With the new firmware available from now on, Google incorporates the correction of several errors found in the first collection of tests, in addition to better adapting the UI to the folding format. This also paves the way for future enhancements to be introduced with the third trial version.
Among the practical fixes and improvements in Android 12 L is the lock screen clock, which until then had display errors. In practice, it did not appear centered, nor did the application icons that sometimes were not displayed.

HomeAway, which had been flagged by The Australian Financial Review as the most likely buyer, is listed on the Nasdaq and operates online rental businesses around the world.
Fairfax, publisher of the Financial Review, has been talking to a number of interested parties about the Stayz business over the past three months and agreed on a sale price of $220 million for 100 per cent of the business.
Fairfax was advised by investment bank Goldman Sachs. The sale price reflects a multiple of 16.8 times fiscal 2013 earnings before interest, tax, depreciate and amortisation
“Stayz has been a very successful business for Fairfax since we acquired it in 2005," Fairfax Media chief executive
“We have grown the business significantly over the years and we are proud of the job the Stayz management team has done.
“The value we have received today reflects this."
Fairfax spent some time at its investor day in June speaking about Stayz. It said Stayz’s revenue grew 44 per cent to $23 million in the 2012 financial year, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation was up 40 per cent to $14 million.
JPMorgan has valued Stayz at $140 million, based on flat earnings in financial year 2013.
“We believe Stayz’s future development is better suited to HomeAway, a business with global reach, resources and expertise in the holiday rental space," My Hywood said.
“HomeAway is well placed to further expand Stayz and best serve Australian holiday home owners and their guests."
Analysts say that while Stayz has a strong presence in the Australian market, it is operating in an increasingly competitive environment.

Deliveroo’s Plan to go More Green
Tuesday, December 18, 2018
Popular food delivery company, Deliveroo, has devised a solution in order to go a bit more environmentally friendly with their restaurant partners by providing 100,000 greaseproof biodegradable paper inserts to go under pizzas in pizza boxes.
The reason for this solution is that greasy pizza boxes can actually contaminate a whole recycling chain, causing consumers the inability to recycle their boxes after eating the food. The hope is that this will help reduce the amount of boxes in general waste, being able to recycle them after use.
The good thing is that these inserts are free, so any of Deliveroo’s partners can ask for an amount of inserts and hopefully we can all become a little bit more eco-friendly.
