How Bitcoin works?...

In this rapidly changing world, powered by science and technologies. It's  really important to change as the world needs.
Sooner or later, you have to face the change. So, why not be ahead of the rest?
You, surely, heard about the "Digital Gold."  Yes, Bitcoin.
But, do you know about how the Bitcoin works? 
What does influence it's price?
How does it circulate?
Which organization or bank manages it?
...Or from where did the Bitcoin and other crypto currencies origin?
Let's start from the scratch. 
Bitcoin was introduced in year 2009 by Satoshi Natamoko, a person or an organization (not quite sure, but we consider as a person). He, anonymusly, published the white paper and kick off the technology behind it, called Bitcoin Blockchain (we will get to it later).
If you had any assumption like; any country, bank or company made a coin of some sort of metal, than named it Bit-coin?
So, it's not actually true. Bitcoin is completely digital, just as the money in your bank account is a mere number on your online payment app. Bitcoin is not a real coin. Even, it's not managed by any organization or bank. It's completely decentralized, means no central authority. It's managed by open source contributers and miners; who solves computational problems to produce new blocks, to include in Blockchain and gain bitcoin as their rewards for mining. Remember the difference, BItcoin (with big 'B') is a Blockchain and bitcoin (with small 'b') is it's native currency, shortly named as BTC.
Now, you will ask, what's blockchain even?
Blockchain is a technology that works without any central organization and can be used in various purposes. 
Technically, Blockchain is a series of blocks, where each block consists transactions ledgers (data of the transfer of currency). It is a peer to peer connection, completely decentralized. Because of that this technology comes up with highly secure computer program or smart contracts. They are almost impossible to hack, you can imagine bitcoin as the world's biggest bug bounty.

Media is making us dumb!

Imagine, you are in an examination hall, staring at question paper, brainstorming, solving problems and writing answers. Such a boring experience, right. But wait, your mind tries to entertain itself. Everyone of us listen the melodious songs playing in our heads in such a boring situation.  Doesn't this distract you, while solving complex problems in your question paper? This was not just about examination hall. In daily life, we are bombarded with lots of dopamine chunks, and not able to think clearly because our mind constantly tries to process that information that slowly becomes stuck at our heads. Anxiety, stress and depression are born from such habits. In this modern electronic world, entertainment is free and available at your finger tips, literally.  Even making any kind of content is easy. Just use your tongue, not mind, to say anything in front of the camera of a phone and  upload it. People will surely watch it. Because they are free. Vulgarity is at it's pea...

Reality vs Fantasy

The reality: The change is slow and gradual. It requires hard work, a bit of luck, a fair amount of self-sacrifice, and a lot of patience. The fantasy: A sudden transformation will bring a total change in one's fortunes, bypassing work, luck, self-sacrifice and time in one fantastic stroke. ========== The reality:  The social world has hard-set codes and boundaries. We understand these limits and know that we have to move within the same familiar circles, day in and day out. The fantasy:  We can enter a totally new world with different codes and promise of adventure. ========== The reality:  Aggression, arrogance and hyper-emotional person is weak, totally out of control and hopelessly sad inside. While silent, humble and honest is strong, he has control over himself and peace of mind. The fantasy:  More anger, emotions, ego means more energy, more power over others. While the silent is fool, can't take stand for himself. ========== The reality:  Society is...
