THE WILD INSIDE STORY OF CRYPTO'S GET-RICH-QUICK UNDERBELLY Nat Eliason had six months to make as much money as possible before his first child was born. So, he turned to where countless others did in 2021: Crypto. Within a year, he'd made millions writing code holding hundreds of millions of dollars of other people's money. He'd been hacked. He'd sold a picture of a monkey for two hundred grand. He'd become an influencer, speaking at conferences, and writing a weekly newsletter to tens of thousands of fans. Best of all, Nat had amassed a small fortune. But how much of this money was even real? And how many times can someone double down before they eventually lose everything? Crypto Confidential is Nat's unfiltered, insider's account of the hyperactive, hyper-speculative, hyper-addictive, nearly unregulated, completely insane world being built on the blockchain. A behind-the-scenes exposé of the bull runs and breakdowns, revealing exactly how the crypto-sausage gets made. A story of getting rich, going broke, scamming and getting scammed— and how we can all be more educated participants during the inevitable next bull run.

The world is changing. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries have been disrupted and are being remade before our eyes. Everything we aspired to for “security,” everything we thought was “safe,” no longer is: College. Employment. Retirement. Government. It's all crumbling down. In every part of society, the middlemen are being pushed out of the picture. No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It's on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself. New tools and economic forces have emerged to make it possible for individuals to create art, make millions of dollars and change the world without “help.” More and more opportunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inward success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work and wealth). This book will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studies, interviews and examples–including the author, investor and entrepreneur James Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story–Choose Yourself illuminates your personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old.

Now that there’s software in everything, how can you make anything secure? Understand how to engineer dependable systems with this newly updated classic In Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems, Third Edition Cambridge University professor Ross Anderson updates his classic textbook and teaches readers how to design, implement, and test systems to withstand both error and attack. This book became a best-seller in 2001 and helped establish the discipline of security engineering. By the second edition in 2008, underground dark markets had let the bad guys specialize and scale up; attacks were increasingly on users rather than on technology. The book repeated its success by showing how security engineers can focus on usability. Now the third edition brings it up to date for 2020. As people now go online from phones more than laptops, most servers are in the cloud, online advertising drives the Internet and social networks have taken over much human interaction, many patterns of crime and abuse are the same, but the methods have evolved. Ross Anderson explores what security engineering means in 2020, including: How the basic elements of cryptography, protocols, and access control translate to the new world of phones, cloud services, social media and the Internet of Things Who the attackers are – from nation states and business competitors through criminal gangs to stalkers and playground bullies What they do – from phishing and carding through SIM swapping and software exploits to DDoS and fake news Security psychology, from privacy through ease-of-use to deception The economics of security and dependability – why companies build vulnerable systems and governments look the other way How dozens of industries went online – well or badly

Blockchains are seen as a technology for the future, which reduce the cost of trust and revolutionize transactions between individuals, companies and governments. The sense of using blockchains is to minimize the probability of errors, successful frauds and paper-intensive processes. For these reasons, blockchains already have and will have a significant impact to the society and every day’s life, especially in field of Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, which are one of the basic technologies for Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, blockchains with their inherent property to provide security, privacy and decentralized operation are engine for todays and future reliable, autonomous and trusted IoT platforms. Specially, a disruptive role of ledger technologies in future smart personal mobility systems, which combine smart car industry, smart energy/smart cities will be explained in the book, considering its importance for development of new industrial and business models.

Billions of world citizens entrust their quality of life to hundreds of leaders whose Nation-States are members of the United Nations General Assembly. Collectively, the heads of these United Nations Generally Assembly members lead thousands of elected officials, appointed officials, policy makers, regulatory bodies and enforcement officials to make sure that their respective citizens enjoy a good quality of life and are not exposed to unnecessary risk. At least as early as April 9, 2005, the world's first peer-to-peer electronic cash system was created by Santosh Bungay, for the creation of PrivateLender.org (www.privatelender.org); a rudimentary service built on a global computer network, programmed in classical computer programming paradigm programming language known as C++. By 2008, the underlying system was transformed by A. K. (Anoop) Bungay from a commercialized classical computer based process to a commercialized quantum computer based process by applying principles, concepts and core methods of non-novel (exact) conformity science. The generic name for the goods and services that allow for the cash to transfer from one person to another is known as a conformity science-based management system and, when used-in-commerce, is known by a family of world famous marks; source identifier trademark brand names, including: BUNGAY INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CONFORMITY OF ORGANIZATION AND INDIVIDUAL NETWORK: BITCOIN™; BITCOIN™ brand of conformity science-based applications. BUNGAY INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CONFORMITY OF ORGANIZATION AND INDIVIDUAL NETWORK MORTGAGE: BITMORTGAGE™; BITMORTGAGE® brand of finance. BUNGAY LOGIC AND ORDER CONFORMITY KERNEL; CYBER/NON-CYBER HARMONIZED ARTIFICIAL/NON-ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT NETWORK: BLOCKCHAIN™; BLOCKCHAIN™ brand of conformity science-based applications. The process of operating a peer-to-peer electronic cash system is requires specialized education that takes at least 4 years for a "Bachelor" level of education from an accredited or ACCREDITED CLASS® educational institution; and an additional 2-3 years for a "Master" level of education and an additional 2-4 years for a "Doctorate" and more years for ongoing research. The underlying commercial system is classified as an EXPERT SYSTEM and follows a prescribed implementation and must be used as directed. This textbook shows the historical inter-relationship between non-novel (exact) conformity science and the United Nations.
