BC BLOCKCHAIN

A Beginners Guide to Blockchain Technology.

A Thread ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

 The simplest way to explain the Blockchain is this:

A database that is not managed by a single entity thereby making it decentralized.

Unlike the traditional database structure which uses a client-server model, the blockchain uses a peer-to-peer network where each participant
...is seen as a node.

As you might have asked, "How is the Blockchain managed?".

In a decentralized network, they have to be a way of ensuring the smooth running of the blockchain.

This is where the "Consensus Mechanism" comes in.

As the name implies, a consensus mechanism
is simply a means of making an agreement on the blockchain. Or, a way the blockchain is run.

They are different consensus mechanisms but the most popular as follows:

> Proof of Work
> Proof of Stake
> Proof of Authority
> Delegated Proof of Stake
You are probably trying to know the benefit of the Blockchain over the traditional storage system.

Here are a few:

> Decentralization
> Security
> Immutability
> Trustless

> Decentralization

This is definitely the most obvious advantage of the blockchain. Since it doesn't use
... a client-server network rather it uses a peer-to-peer model which gives the power the nodes thought the level of privilege of each node depends on the type of node and the kind of consensus mechanism being used.

> Security

One of the shortfalls of a centralized system is
... a single point of failure which simply means that you only need to get access to a single control center(or an administrator)...and BOOM!!!...You are in...

But, in the blockchain, you need an unrealistic amount to access to be able to compromise the security of a blockchain
Take, for instance in the Proof of Work consensus, you need to have 51% of nodes in your control which is practically impossible for blockchains like the Bitcoin or the Ethereum Blockchain.

>Immutablity

The blockchain is built in a way whereby any block added can't be changed
...or edited.

You can already imagine what this could mean for data. A system where you can ensure the authenticity of any data you get.

> Trustless

With the previous advantages stated, you could say the blockchain provides a database you can trust without having to trust a
...particular entity.

It's worthy to note that seeing the blockchain as a database is for simplicity and the most basic of things the blockchain has to offer.

Types of Blockchain

> Public
> Private
> Consortium

> Public

A public blockchain is a type of blockchain where
...the activities carried out are publicly visible for everyone to see in a place called an explorer. Also, in as much as the data is public, the participants of these transactions are represented by code public addresses thereby keeping their identity secret.
Most of the popular blockchains are public. Like:

> Bitcoin Blockchain(https://t.co/RI2bmUivej)
> Ethereum Blockchain(https://t.co/1ThJbUI7WF)
> Binance Smart Chain(https://t.co/a238W2tOIs)
> Private

This could also be called a permissioned blockchain whereby all activities are performed by know participants.

This is best suited for organizations. They can be seen as somewhat centralized in their manner of operation.
> Consortium

The consortium blockchain sits on the fence between private and public because it's used between multiple organizations.

With these, I think you can get the basic concept.

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.

THE LESSER KNOWN MAHARANA OF MEWAR:RANA KUMBHA
Kumbalgarh Fort is one of most spectacular sites of India,atop a hill abt 3600ft above sea lvl in the https://t.co/LkjmzzBhE2's second largest wall is surrounding it.A fort wall second only to Great wall of China,still not so famous.


This longest wall of India stretches to almost 36Km and encompasses a few hills, many step wells and over 360 temples and palaces. Birth place of the Great Maharana Pratap, this fort is named after another Great Maharana of Mewar, who is not given his due in the History.


Builder of many architectural marvels like the Kumbhalgarh Fort, an erudite scholar, a patron of arts, music, culture & a great warrior was the Great Maharana Kumbha. Yet we don't know much about him. Let's get to know him a little.


Maharana Kumbha was the undefeated King of Mewar from 1433-1468CE.He never lost any battles &kept Mewar out of the reach of Islamic Invaders till the time he was alive. Born on Makar Sakranti to Maharana Mokal & Saubhagya Devi, Rana Kumbha was only 13 when he ascended the throne.


His father was killed by his own relatives in a political conspiracy. He was a powerful King about 8ft tall &charismatic personality,a hardcore Hindu Rajput who could shed his life for Hindu honour without thinking twice.He was an ardent skillful warrior who never lost a battle.

Maker movement is doing to startups what startups did to corporations.

Here is why ๐Ÿ‘‡

Startups fixed the problem of innovation, that corporations lack.

In big, slow corporations, innovation is a RISK and distraction from the core $$$ profitable business.

Agile startups could launch, iterate fast and eventually stumble upon new growing market opportunities.

However,

When a startup reaches product-market-fit, it has to ๐Ÿš€ "grow at all costs" and reach market dominance before some giant corporation can replicate their new product and distribute it to their existing giant customer base.

Startup's "growth at all costs" often means growth at the expense of charging customers $$$ money.

Hence, to be sustainable, startups have to constantly chase investor money.

Startup teams spend more time finding and pleasing investors, than finding and pleasing customers.

95% of startups die because they run out of (investor) money + no business model + crazy investor expectations.

Same way corporations die, when unable to adjust to new technology and market shifts.

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

Criticisms are most welcomed.

So when it first appeared in Normandy, the Sherman Firefly and it's meaty 17 pounder represented an ideal combo of reliable chassis, great gun and devastating firepower right?

Ummm...

Truth is a bit more complex. /1
#WW2 #SWW #History


Deliveries of Firefly to units only commenced in April 1944,
just a few weeks before Overlord & left minimal time for familiarisation.

Armoured Regiments mostly utilised Fireflies on a basis of 1 per troop of 4 tanks. /2


Finally each armoured regiment troop had access to integral, meaty, anti-tank firepower capable of dealing serious damage to any German AFV likely to be encountered. /3


The dual purpose 75mm gun was quite capable of laying down a reasonable HE shell or AP round for dealing with Panzer III or IV.

Firefly's 17 Pounder had.... problems with HE, but excelled at tank killing. So Tigers and Panthers would need to be wary. /4


Firefly's design history dated back to March 1943 when the General Staff published "Policy on Tanks" which effectively stated the majority of tanks should have a good HE weapon and...
