Is Bitcoin A Bubble Waiting to Burst?: Cryptocurrency (Volume 1) Paperback– September 25, 2018

by Prof Ajit Kumar Roy (Author, Editor, Contributor)

Insane Growth Rate of Bitcoin that was valued 0 on January 2009, its users were just cryptography fans that were basically hobby is stretched all-time more than 700 at any given time high in 2017, boosting interest in all cryptocurrencies. In just 8 years, it had an 8,000% rise. No single currency or even an investment has reached that absurd rate. Because Bitcoin has been soaring as no other currency has ever done before, it has gotten its fair share of fans, critics, and skeptics alike. A lot of the critics have been calling Bitcoin as a “bubble” such as Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, Ray Dalio, and a whole lot more, mostly from the financial industry. However, they can call it anything they like, but it doesn’t erase the fact that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are here to stay. You can’t argue with results. That’s why there are more and more influential people buying into the Bitcoin craze. Below are words of some of those who have embraced the disruption with open arms: Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft: “Bitcoin is exciting because it shows how cheap it can be. Bitcoin is better than any currency in that you don’t have to be physically in the same place and, of course, for large transactions, currency can get pretty inconvenient.” Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google: “Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement. The ability to create something which is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value. Lots of people will build businesses on top of that.” Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States: “When Bitcoin currency is converted from currency into cash, that interface has to remain under some regulatory safeguards. I think the fact that within the Bitcoin universe an algorithm replaces the function of the government … [that] is actually pretty cool.” There’s a whole lot more, but you get the picture. Everyone is dying to get their hands on the Bitcoin craze, and it has no signs of stopping anytime soon. Therefore, the book is compiled to give the readers a comprehensive idea about cryptocurrency particularly Bitcoin through the following chapters Chapter-1: What Are Cryptocurrency and Bitcoins? Chapter-2: Bitcoin Technology Chapter-3: Facts and Figures of Bitcoin Chapter-4: Is Bitcoin a Legal Tender? Chapter-5: Bitcoin as an Investment: Risks and Opportunities Chapter-6: Pros and cons of Bitcoin Chapter-7: Economist and Expert views on Bitcoin Chapter-8: Future of Bitcoin I am sure once the book is read, the interested people in this area will be able to know pros and cons and be able to take decision as to whether to deal with cryptocurrency.

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India Ajit Kumar Roy Central Agricultural University, India The digital economy is rapidly developing worldwide as the largest driver of innovation, competition, and growth. Even though many people have been excluded, tremendous opportunities are available for the digital economy to support ﬁnancial inclusion for sustainable economic development. India could see a boost of $700 billion, an 11.8% increase by 2025. This additional GDP could create up to 21 million jobs. McKinsey has estimated that Indians lose more than $2 billion a year in forgone income simply because of the time it takes travelling to and from a bank. India aims to create a cleaner, more transparent economy via digitalization that will lead to an improved climate for foreign investment, boost economic growth. Goldman Sachs predicts that India - comprising 15% of the world populat...

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland March 2013 Projects: Fisheries/Aquaculture Econometrics/Statistics Ajit kumar Roy Anil Upadhyay Khriezhato Nakhro Abstract A complete account of fisheries resources that includes rivers, lakes, bheels pond and tanks along with Government initiatives for fisheries development are compiled for Nagaland well known for its fish biodiversity. In spite of the available resources, in terms of aquaculture production the state of Nagaland could not make visible impact so far. The meager production of the state is still far from self-sufficient and this can be attributed to a number of constraints such as land locke...

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.
