“The volatility of the market cycles and how rapidly the world is evolving has worried many of us.

Congratulations @alyzesam, on winning 1,000 USDT! You did it!!!

The SECOND place goes to @kameir’s The Fed's Disastrous Confusion about Money

“The term “money” is often used as a synonym for currency. However, the determination of the former qualification is observably a distinction left entirely to users of the latter. Which is to say that money is a contract between two or more parties. The arrangement solves a central challenge in trade referred to as the coincidence of wants problem, entailing an agreement over one or more units of account and media of exchange.”

Huge congratulations to @kameir on winning 600 USDT!!

In the THIRD place, we have The Housing Shortage is the Next Target in Blockchains' Sight by @correspondentone

Congratulations @correspondentone, on winning 300 USDT!!

Congratulations to all the winners again! We will contact y'all soon, and we will see the rest of you next round!
