Unpopular opinion: I have been using a device with Android TV for a month and (personally) I do not see it as better or more comfortable than a Chromecast. Maybe it’s my fault but I’m slower and less comfortable playing content on Android TV.

In the analysis of the Google Chromecast with Google TV, some Xatakers shared this opinion, so I want to put on the table the reasons why, in order to make our lives easier by playing content on television, Chromecast is a faster and easier device.

The United Kingdom is studying the possibility of creating its own digital currency, which would coexist with physical money

“We are launching a new working group between the Treasury and the Bank of England to coordinate exploratory work on a possible central bank digital currency.” With these words Rishi Sunak, Minister of Finance of the United Kingdom, has confirmed that the country is investigating the possibility of creating its own digital currency.

At the moment it is a first step, as the Bank of England and the government, for now, have not made a decision on whether to implement it or not. In fact, they ensure that stakeholders will be counted on to weigh the risks, benefits, and practicalities in doing so. Nor is it contemplated that it is designed to replace physical cash, but that this future digital pound would coexist with it.

ensures that it is a bubble that is going to explode caused, in part, by Elon Musk

Elon Musk has been tweeting about Dogecoin for months and, incidentally, skyrocketing its price. If in January 2021 DOGE had a price of $ 0.004, currently its value is $ 0.36 and its value has grown by 18,000% compared to last year. In other words, what began as a meme and a joke that emerged on the Internet, currently has a value of $ 46 billion Thanks, in part, to the support of personalities like Elon Musk.

This, says Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and creator of Cardano, is dangerous. In a recent broadcast on his YouTube channel, Hoskinson has addressed what he qualifies as a DOGE bubble, ensuring that It is a worthless cryptocurrency, without original technology and without a stable development team which is being driven by “the efforts of Elon Musk, primarily, and the manipulation of the crafty whale market.”
