Bitcoin Trailblazing $50,000 Record High Days after Elon Musk’s $1.5bn Investment

Bitcoin registered another record high performance that has seen its value surge beyond $50,000 in New York making it the largest cryptocurrency in the world. The cryptocurrency continues to fascinate investors across the globe as corporates and moguls scramble to invest in digital currencies. 
The value of bitcoin has been bolstered by endorsements from top investors like Elon Musk, Stan Druckenmiller and Paul Tudor. Tesla’s $1.5 billion investment in bitcoin saw the price shoot by 16 percent. 
Apart from Tesla, big companies such as BNY Mellon, Paypal, Microsoft, Wikipedia and Mastercard have shown support for cryptocurrencies. CNBC reports indicate that bitcoin received a major boost in 2017 where the value skyrocketed to $20,000 before slumping 80 percent of its value the subsequent year.
Mastercard stated that it would support bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on its payment platform at the course of 2021. 
The current surge is driven by demand for institutional investors while the 2017 one was triggered by retail speculation. MicroStrategy, a lead corporate investor in bitcoin, proclaimed on Tuesday that it would borrow $600 million to buy more bitcoin.
Bloomberg reports quoted Trenchev cautioning investors to prepare for wild ride after the magical milestone. He said: “Short-term volatility is very much a feature of this bull market and investors should prepare accordingly.”

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
