Cryptocurrency is traded through a system called blockchain, which involves a ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ of the transaction record, along with a ‘miner’ who verifies the transaction’s integrity. Essentially, it is a multi-party system that depends on computer hardware known as a server. Running a computer to calculate and validate transactions consumes electricity, and to participate in the blockchain network, the cryptocurrency issuer must pay a fee. This fee effectively reflects electricity costs. Since the blockchain system relies on electricity, the core of cryptocurrency ultimately comes down to energy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Luxury goods are valuable not only because they are well-made but also because they are scarce. The proof lies in the abundance of counterfeit luxury goods. Controlling production and supply is one of the things luxury goods brands excel at. Initially, quality and reputation create luxury goods; however, the fact that the value of these goods does not diminish but continues to rise is due to the maintenance of scarcity. While customers determine the fate of the product, producers and suppliers also influence the fate of the customer. They achieve this through their offerings. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
