Here’s How You Can Earn From Bitcoins

How low will they go?

What is Bitcoin?

To begin with, Bitcoin is a digital currency, also known as cryptocurrency. Getting more into technicalities, Bitcoin uses decentralized technology and encryption to secure payments, eliminating the need of personal details while making transactions.
It services the same purpose as convectional currencies, without any central authority. While some may label the working of Bitcoins or cryptocurrencies in general as shady due to obvious reasons, this currency is perfectly safe.
The idea first surfaced the market in 2009 by an unknown group of developers however, did not explode into the market until 2013.

How Does it Work?

With no central body regulating the transactions, Bitcoin transactions are made without involving a third party. Instead, a cryptographically secure ‘Blockchain’ is used to authenticate payments, allowing any two entities to carry out transactions without the need for a third-party regulatory body.

The Blockchain is a kind of public ledger that holds decentralized records of all the Bitcoin transactions that take place. Recording and the updating process of the transactions onto the Blockchain is powered by users who choose to generate blocks on the network. Here comes in the concept of ‘Bitcoin Mining’.
The users who power the record updating process of the transactions through their own systems are rewarded with Bitcoins. This mining requires sophisticated and high-powered systems and takes quite a lot of time.

What’s all the Hype around Bitcoins?

Bitcoin is, by far, the most successful cryptocurrency to surface the market as of now. After penetrating into reality, the value of Bitcoin soared at an astonishing rate. With the initial price starting from a few USD, the value of Bitcoins has now swelled and is around an over-whelming $4000 at the time of writing.
While there are several other cryptocurrencies too, Bitcoin has the most hype around it due to major fluctuations in its value.
To put it into perspective, if you had purchased a Bitcoin for $1 back in 2011, you could now sell it off for $4000.

At time of writing, 1 Bitcoin is worth 4 Lac Pakistani Rupees, which surely is astonishing.

How can you Earn through Bitcoins?

Bitcoin mining is the first option but not a practical one of course. You can purchase and employ expensive and powerful computers for Bitcoin mining and can create Bitcoins out of thin air. This sounds amusing but isn’t practical at all. Bitcoin mining requires hefty investment and isn’t recommended for a common person.

Bitcoin trading is the real deal. You can invest in Bitcoins by purchasing Bitcoins for a lower price and selling them off when the price soars. This requires fine speculation skills. There are ‘exchanges’ that lets you purchase and sale Bitcoins and that’s how you can earn through Bitcoins.

Is it Legal?

Bitcoin, being a new venture unknown to Pakistani’s, isn’t exactly legal in Pakistan and The State Bank of Pakistan advised to stay away from such crypto currencies. While Pakistan’s stance on Bitcoin is still subject to confusions, serious legal advice must be sought before getting into Bitcoin trading.

On the other hand, Japan has declared Bitcoin as a legal tender and USA has established that they accept Bitcoin as a commodity however, countries including Bangladesh and Saudi-Arabia have banned it.

Tips to Make Your Wi-Fi Faster

Slow Internet can be annoying. Either you’re checking your social media, surfing the internet or streaming videos, slow internet will interrupt your tasks and drive frustration levels up.
While there can be many reasons for your slow Wi-Fi, lack of Wi-Fi optimization is amongst the most common reasons.

Here are some tips on how to optimize your Wi-Fi and make it faster without much effort.

Ideal Placement

The choice of location to place your wifi router is a highly influential factor. Ideally, you should place your wifi router in a place where its signals are least likely to be obstructed. Preferably, it should be placed on higher places, with no objects surrounding it.
You can further strengthen the signal range by placing your wifi router outside and angle it towards windows to get better signal reception

Protection

Unauthorized access to your wifi can be the cause of slow internet speeds. If your internet is not protected, there’s a high chance that random people including your neighbors will access your internet, resulting in divided bandwidth and slow internet. In order to prevent this, you’re advised to protect your wifi with a strong password.

Switch the channel

Your Tv isn’t the only appliance capable of changing channels, wifi routers can do that too. Routers use channels to transmit data. If your neighbors’ wifi uses the same channel as yours, it could cause a significant fall in your internet speeds.
What to do? Switch channels. You can change the channel for your router to a less crowded one and can expect faster internet speeds.
The ideal way to determine the best channel for your router is to use the ‘Wifi Anayzer’ mobile application and see which channel is the least crowded.

Consider a Router Upgrade

If you’re paying for high speed internet but the speeds aren’t up to the mark, your router could be the culprit. The latest Wi-Fi router standard is 802.11ac however, for Pakistan, 802.11n would be more than enough too.

Buy a Range Extender

Weak Wi-Fi signals often cause the internet speeds to slow down. If your router has a vast area to cover, you can purchase a range extended to be able to receive better signals, resulting in higher speeds.

Clean-up your PC’s Software

Possibly, useless softwares consuming bandwidth could be the reason for your slow internet. Your PC could be too cluttered with adwares and virus. You can analyze the background activity on your PC and disable useless apps to divert more bandwidth towards your browser.

Raheel Shareef

In the era of hatred and competition, we all have forgotten that we humans are blessed with golden heart! And as far as Pakistani people are considered, I guess they all are humans too (yeah! If biological features are priority, not the actions). So have you ever reckoned that which Pakistani Celeb or Famous Personality is honored to this level that he earns respect and love of Pakistani awam? Apart from Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal, of course! Beware! I am not writing any essay related to history of Pakistan (Lol). Let us know your favorite people in the comments.

Here we have summed up Top 5 Favorite People of Pakistan from politics, Sports, Film Industry and Media. Pakistan has produced influential and admired personalities and famous entities, which have done remarkable contribution in their respective fields to earn respect and love from masses of all over the world.

Let’s begin the list of Top 5 Favorite People of Pakistan, who are blessed enough that they have earned respect even beyond the international borders.

5- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

People with good music taste must have heard Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the legendary musician and singer for once in their life (I am not talking about American Richard, but Rashid of Pakistan). Excluding the walnut-sized minds, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan would be in the play list of every person who understands the soul of music. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1979-1997) is known for extraordinary range of vocal abilities. Youth of Pakistan also consider him as the best choice to listen while their heart is broken. But on serious note, his songs are masterpieces of music world, no matter if he sang classic, sufi kalam, qawali or romantic songs, he nailed it. He is the only artist of Pakistan who has earned the real love over the international borders and even after dying, he is still ruling the hearts of millions with people for his evergreen music and soulful voice!

4- General Raheel Sharif

Retired as the four-star rank general, Raheel Sharif was the 15th Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan. This rajpoot son of Gujrat city, was also entitled as most charismatic hero of army by the natives of Pakistan. His efforts against terrorism and corruption will be written in golden chapters of Pakistan history someday. For the thick heads, who might ignore him as an ordinary army man, they must know that General Raheel Sharid leaded Karachi operation, Zarb-eAzab) eliminated more than 8,000 terrorists) and took serious initiative to stand against goons of criminal political parties (Smjhdar k liye ishara hee kafi hai).

3- Shahid Khan Afridi

Also known as ‘boom boom afridi’ and ‘lala’ in his team, Shahid Afridi is heartthrob of Pakistani youth. Some people respect him as a cricketer and some people are diehard fans of him for his good looks (jazbatee larhkian, of course!). He is known for his unexpected sixes and even after decades of his good batting, people praise him for boom boom sixes.

2- Abdul Sattar Edhi

May Allah rest his soul in peace! He was an angel of Allah, the real innocent soul of his Creator and a true supporter for needy people. He died in 2016 but he still is in prayers of thousands of people for his remarkable contribution of world’s largest ambulance network, rehab centers and shelter homes for orphanages and poor children. (We are not going to exaggerate his good deeds as he believed in not showing off for the sake of fame).

1- Imran Khan

My apologies! In advance for the people who support different political parties rather than Tehrik-e-Insaaf. But the truth is, before starting his political career, he was heartthrob of whole Pakistan as he was the captain who served cricket world cup trophy to Pakistan (The realm where cricket against India is zindagi mout kaa sawal). No matter if he is slammed for his past affairs, he is the real love of youth. Youth support him as their leader and they all are craving to see him as the prime minister of Pakistan soon. Imran Khan believes in honesty and hard work and he has showed his concern to his nation with Shaukat Khanum Hospital and Peshawar University. The reasons of loving him would be infinite but no one can deny that he can lead thousands of people with his one call to his followers!
