Why Buy Gold and Silver?

Gold, Silver and Bitcoin
Gold, Silver and Bitcoin

I own crypto currencies, because I have come to the conclusion that money as we know it today is no longer sustainable. I have come to this conclusion during the crisis of 2008. At that time I had the intuition / the gut feeling something was wrong not only with our financial system, but more specifically with our money.

I finally did not buy any, because ultimately I decided it was all a load of hot air, a bubble. My brother decided to try his luck and bought bitcoins worth of 50 USD. He made a backup of his wallet and than forgot about it. Then some exchanges got hacked and wallets were stolen. Many people just lost all their money. And I was thinking, I was right to call this a scam.

Learn how to code with Python – Lesson 5 – Basics wrapup

Basic code wrapup
Basic code?

Datatypes

I have already introduced some data types like strings, integers, and floats. But there are more types you need to know about before we can continue.
