I am fascinated by the cryptocurrency market dynamics and the interactions of human behaviour that is a factor in creating such a passionate yet volatile space. This got me thinking about the possible reasons why the market behaves so frantically and as such in this article I will attempt to draw some parallels with the results of an interesting psychological experiment known as the 'marshmallow test' and why cryptocurrency investors should learn about delayed gratification.

On November 28, 1889 the Johnstown Flood occurred after the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam, located on the south fork of the Little Conemaugh River, 14 miles upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The dam ruptured after several days of extremely heavy rainfall and 2,200 people down stream lost their lives. This was the most significant man made loss of life in that time.

In this article I will explain why it's important to understand that the mechanics are literally robbing people of their future wealth and hopefully this will inspire you to take action and at least start to consider other alternatives means for wealth preservation and growth, in particular cryptocurrencies. Although the 'experts' would have you bel

Recent weeks have seen the price of blockchain Solana’s native currency — SOL — skyrocket. From just over $67 on 25th August, SOL went up to over $200, marking more than a 200% increase in less than 2 weeks. From April to August 2021, the price of SOL had hovered around the $30 level, so the current price represents a nearly five-fold increase in value. This has taken the market capitalization of Solana to over $40 billion, making it the world’s seventh-largest cryptocurrency
