CRYPTOCURRENCY

Cryptocurrency is digital money, created from code and circulated on a peer-to-peer network. It exists only as an encrypted string of data.

The peer-to-peer network means there is no centralised hub, no central control. No-one is in charge.

Free from political and government control

Blue Chip Stocks Clwder Press

BLUE CHIP STOCKS

Blue chip stocks are issued by large, very reputable well established household-name companies with a long track record of reliable if not spectacular dividends. But they are a bet. Even blue chips can go down as well as up.

The Blue Chip is the highest value chip in casino poker.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is the measure of how easily you can sell your assets without losing  too much of their market value when the going gets tough. There are three kinds: high, moderate and low. Low is not good.

Cash has the highest liquidity rating.

MONEY LAUNDERING

The process of rinsing dirty money, gained from dubious or illegal activities ,through a complex cycle of respectable businesses and multiple transactions until its origins are washed away and it appears clean.  

It is seriously illegal.
