Cryptocurrency – Good or Evil?

By now many of you are much familiar with the cryptocurrencies . For starters, Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies ( Wikipedia Article ), built based on the blockchain  ( strong encryption) and used for transactions. Since 2009, bitcoins are widely used in several transactions . How legal are the cryptocurrencies ? Are they being used for good purposes? In one of my previous blogs, we have discussed how money can do good or evil ( Is Money Good or Evil? ) Few countries strictly ban the usage of Cryptocurrency and US impose a capital gain tax for the cryptocurrency.

One day, the Prince heard about a famous astrologist and went to meet him. Prince always wanted to stay single and to serve the people. This astrologist told the Prince that he should get married within a year. Prince immediately thought that the astrologist is bluffing and left the place. To his surprise, he fell in love within few months and got married within a year.      In few years, the kingdom was under threat due to an invasion from one of the strongest empires.

Again, the prediction by the astrologist becomes real.      Prince was really happy and even appointed the astrologist as Astrology Minister in his court. The kingdom was in peace. One day, the Prince asked about his father; the astrol
