Two Crypto Coins That Are Making Powerful Charity Donations: Big Eyes Coin and Polkadot

0

Big Eyes Coin and Polkadot are two cryptocurrencies that are having a positive impact on charities.

Since its foundation in 2009, crypto has always been perceived as a get-rich scheme. It’s no secret that wise Bitcoin investors made a bomb when the coin reached an all-time value of $67,566.83.

It’s also not surprising that incredibly wealthy people decided to invest in crypto in a bid to further increase their finances.

Floyd Mayweather Jr, Bill Gates, and Serena Williams are examples of celebrities who invested in Bitcoin. Whereas, Elon Musk, famously invested in and tweeted about Dogecoin in 2019.

However, the tide is now changing with cryptocurrencies actively looking for ways to improve the environment and help the less fortunate.

Every time a crypto geek makes an investment they are joining a community of like-minded people.

In the case of Big Eyes coin and Polkadot, this is a group of individuals who are not solely concerned with monetary gain and want to make a meaningful contribution.

Save The Children With Polkadot

Polkadot is one of the few cryptocurrencies that the Save The Children foundation accepts as a donation.

Polkadot coin investors can head over to The Giving Block website and fill in a brief form regarding what cryptocurrency they want to donate, how much they want to give concerning dollars, and when they want to complete the donation.

With Polkadot, at the time of writing, worth $6.35, the cryptocurrency can make a massive difference. For example, if an investor owns $600 worth of Polkadot, this is enough money to change several children’s lives.

Nonetheless, saving the children by donating Polkadot does not only relate to the Save The Children foundation.

Amid its brutal war with Russia, Ukraine is accepting Polkadot as a way of bolstering military efforts. Hence, Polkadot investors can essentially help Ukraine defeat Russia and spare the lives of many children and adults that are in the firing line.

Save The Oceans With Big Eyes Coin

Unfortunately, Big Eyes coin is currently unable to support underprivileged children. However, its positive effect on the environment is hard to beat.

As part of the Big Eyes coin release of Stage 2, 5% of their total supply will be held in a charity wallet and given to ocean-saving charities.

Over 3 million dollars has already been raised for Stage 2, so it’s fair to say that the fishes will have a much better life, all thanks to the Big Eyes coin.

On a separate note, the healthier the fish the higher quality the cat food sold in shops. It’s not a coincidence that Big Eyes’ mascot is a cute cat. With these ocean donations, house pets will benefit too.

Not to mention, all the pescetarians out there will undoubtedly appreciate tastier and fresher fish.

Final Thoughts

Big Eyes coin and Polkadot are two perfect examples of cryptocurrencies that are making a practical difference to the world around us.

Polkadot donations can save deprived children as well as those that are stuck in a war they didn’t sign up for.

Meanwhile, the Big Eyes coin is set to make a massive impact on oceans and fish everywhere by donating a small percentage of its investments to various ocean charities.

Dr. Yasam Ayavefe Expresses How Understanding The Economic Effects Of Globalization Is The Key To Success For Businesses

0

Throughout the course of human society’s history, various developmental stages have occurred, each of which was distinguished by the preeminent particulars of economic reality. Each new historical epoch necessitated a new style of thinking and doing, which essentially consisted of adapting to the norms of civilization, achievements, and difficulties. The extent and dynamics of globalization-induced change in the previous two decades appear to be more revolutionary than ever before.

Globalization is the phrase used to define the transformations in civilizations, cultures, and the global economy that have led to a tremendous rise in international interchange (in trade, culture, ideas). It is frequently regarded solely from the perspective of the economy, and its impact on trade liberalization, i.e. the growth of free trade.

The Advantages of Globalization 

The following are some of the numerous benefits that globalization offers:

  • Reduce global inequality – By increasing production, diversification, economic growth, and living standards in emerging countries, it enables them to keep pace with industrialised nations.
  • Free movement of workers – Workers and countries acquiring their workers benefit from a growth in international labor migration. If a country has a significant unemployment rate, there are more options for people to look for job abroad.
  • Reduced prices for products – Because of globalization, corporations are able to manufacture their goods at reduced costs. Additionally, it encourages a competitive environment, which lowers prices and gives consumers a wider range of options.
  • The Proliferation of Innovation and New Technologies – Inventions and technological improvements spread swiftly since numerous countries are always connected.

Dr. Ya?am Ayavefe is an esteemed worldwide businessman and the founder and chairman of Milaya Capital Limited, a successful London-based venture capital firm. He agreed to provide us with a brief overview of globalization’s effect on the economy.

“Globalization has unquestionably reshaped the contemporary world. The interesting thing is that globalization is an ingrained aspect of the contemporary society, therefore the majority of people are unaware of the advantages it offers to our daily life. It has a continuous effect on the ways in which people conduct business, travel, and engage with one another. In my opinion, in this modern era, a company’s success depends on how well it understands the benefits and pitfalls of globalization.”

Dr. Yasam Ayavefe Outlines The Economic Assessment of Damage Caused by Environmental Pollution and Suggests Solutions

0

Ecological and economic damage means the monetary value of changes in the environment as a result of pollution. This includes the deterioration of human health due to air pollution, industrial waste. Mechanical damage occurs from hazardous waste. Further, these wastes enter the air, after which the conditions of life and activity change.

From here arise ecological, economic, social types of damage. Environmental damage is pollution of the environment.

The economic assessment of damage consists of the following costs:

  1. costs associated with changes in the environment;
  2. the cost of returning to the previous state;
  3. spending on non-refundable resources.

Air pollution is a serious problem.

The study estimated that air pollution was responsible for 5.5 million deaths.

Air pollution leads to cardiovascular disease. It also affects biodiversity. All of these have economic consequences that affect the decline in the rate of economic growth.

Economic consequences:

  1. affects on human health and agriculture – these impacts may become more severe in coming time.
  2. demand for energy will lead to an increase in emissions into the air.

The amount of pollution charges depends on the amount of damage. An economic assessment is also carried out for the social and moral type of damage.

There are two types of economic damage assessment: direct assessment and indirect assessment.

The first method is to collect a large amount of information. Then it is necessary to give an adequate monetary assessment of the incurred losses.

An indirect assessment is considered to be a simpler method of economic damage assessment. With this method, pollution is assessed by objects of pollutants.

in the past, agriculture has always had a positive impact on the landscape of the land. Today, the intensive development of agriculture, on the contrary, has negatively affected the environment.

The consequences are air and water pollution, which leads to various diseases. ?nergy consumption in European countries continues to grow and depends on the types of fuel.

?ourism continues to develop today and depends on transport, mainly from the car and air transport, which are harmful to the environment.

Mountains, oceans, seas are the favorite vacation places of tourists and unfortunately have already suffered from pollution.

Transport plays an important role in the economy, as it is used to transport raw materials. The least dangerous for the environment is rail transport.

Now each country aims to create safe vehicles for people’s lives and at the same time environmentally friendly, without gas emissions into the air.

 Solution to the problems

The Kyoto Protocol is an example of ecological economics: it is about developing the economy of a country with environmental restrictions.

 Pollution taxes

The state sets standards and taxes. Considering cleanup costs, companies are allowed to pollute up to a certain level. Otherwise, the company pays taxes for damages.

Bonus

Here, companies are given a bonus for working without harming the environment.

The goal of the ecological economy is the well-being of people, which includes the protection and restoration of nature, social justice.

The economy affects all branches of production, it also affects the environment and ecology. Manufacturing companies build wastewater treatment plants to keep the air and environment clean.

They organize events and raise money for the conservation of flora and fauna.

The development of the country’s economy plays both a positive and a negative role.

The positive side is that production is growing and technology is improving. The state budget is increasing, which helps the nature protection fund.

The negative side is the increase in the number of people, pollution of nature and depletion of resources.

It is necessary to keep a balance between the development of the economy and the preservation of the purity of the environment.
