  The cryptocurrency world has transformed in a few short years from a niche subculture to a parallel economic universe. How do tens of thousands of financial actors make these new monies? What forces give cryptocurrencies their value—or take it away? And what does crypto's spectacular ascent reveal about the nature of money?In this groundbreaking ethnographic analysis of crypto economies and their global markets and communities, Koray Caliskan offers an inside view of how cryptocurrencies are made and traded. He argues that cryptocurrency should be understood as "data money," a historically novel money type, created as the right to send data privately over an accounting infrastructure called blockchain. Drawing on two years of fieldwork among global cryptocurrency communities and in crypto markets, Caliskan makes visible the production principles of cryptocurrencies and explores how crypto exchanges work from within. He explains why and how we have been misunderstanding, underregulating, and improperly taxing crypto exchanges and actors. He also proposes a radically new way to make sense of new finance and its actors. An invaluable book for all listeners seeking to understand cryptocurrency, Data Money sheds new light on a profound transformation of finance and its possible future trajectories.

  This book outlines a compelling vision of national service at scale  and illustrates what this means for our country. By profiling real  people who have served, the impact they have  made and the organizations they have worked  with, this book tells a powerful story of change and shows readers  how they too can change their own communities through service.  Examples include people like Washington DC Public School Chancellor  Michelle Rhee who began her career as a Teach For America  corps member, teaching in an inner city school in Baltimore  who went on to found the New Teacher Project, which has placed  over 23,000 teachers in hard to fill jobs and sparked important  reforms in teacher hiring.  She is a nationally recognized  school system leader, pursuing reforms once thought impossible in a  large city district.      The author will paint a picture of successes like these in all  sectors, demonstrating their impact in individual communities and  how this change came about.  It will show how America  would look if programs like these operated at scale -- not just in  one or two neighborhoods, but wherever they were needed.  It  will describe how we can achieve this change through action at  the community and organizational level, and show how service  programs can tackle different issues with examples and  key lessons.  Finally, it will speak to ordinary Americans  about what they can do to make a difference -- by advocating,  joining AmeriCorps or volunteering in their own communities.

  Understand Blog Content Writing...

  Story... It is about a story, the plot, and its characters. You, blog writers, are storytellers. Here is the twist, you are also one of the main characters. The blog has an angle for the plot and its perception of the world around it. Blog, as an entity, has an identity, the way of thinking and acting. It has ideas of its own. It is a great help to define these for the blog and yourself as the writer before you start chucking in your best ideas and publishing them.  
  Blogs want to be found on Google. For this, their content should be countered on the Reader. 
  Not everyone will use the same words to search. To search relevant content, they will use Semantic words. Your job is to write content which covers these Semantic search.  
  The reason I am writing this book is because it would make me feel so happy if I can help people understand the core concepts of blog writing. This was a struggle for me when I started writing blogs. I believe that knowing a basic working structure gives people the opportunity to leap forward faster. By helping others to decode basic concepts, I know I am also helping myself as I embark on another journey of taking responsibility. My mission is to make people learn some life-changing concepts quicker regardless of where they find themselves in life.
