Mobile Data instead of Internet

It looks like more user's are adapting to mobile data instead of getting plans with internet service providers. With the recent work at home rules that were adapted by many companies, users had no choice to adapt instead of using their unreliable internet service. 
So it make sense for users to drop their internet service instead and use their mobile connections for internet. There are drawbacks but in the long run, it's a service still worth the costs.

What is Crypto Currency

 There are various ways to explain this but hopefully these video's below will explain what crypto currency is and why should you be concern about it.

Let's just say with Crypto no one controls the currency value, transaction fees are minimal, to almost no fees at all. No bank and government cannot control the currency and crypto can basically do whatever it wants to do around the clock. 

Going Crypto will definitely change on how we bank, and how financial institutions make money, so it's a big threat to financial companies and governments who like controlling their currency. 

But recent moves has changed all that and it's only a matter of time before more users, companies and vendors adapt the new way of life.
