A research group in the UK has developed a technique for monitoring practices in the fishing industry so that buyers and processors can know the provenance of the fish they are purchasing, and the information can even be seen by retail customers on their smartphones. It uses the same blockchain technology used by the Bitcoin virtual currency.
This means processors can avoid being scammed when they buy fish, and consumers can check whether their fish were caught ethically. It's currently being tested by a food company in the UK.

I never would've guessed the bitcoin technology could be used in fish checking process, but that's kinda funny and cool. We should start reducing the level of harm we do and think more about the ethic side of everything we do. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, btw, are an amazing idea and I do think it should be a part of economical system. So far, many trading companies work with it and it's great. I used to learn with this company https://www.trustpilot.com/review/instaforex.com (Trustpilot cause I don't want to advertise), they're also engaged in many cool projects.

Sorry but I don't think this is a real block chain. This is more a manipulation safe database for tracking data. It it would be a block chain like bitcoin, you would have to have miners, that need to be paid because the only thing that makes the block chain safe is the so called proof of work, which means that nobody has more than 50% compute power in the network and can recalculate the blocks to get a longer arm on the fork to rewrite the history.

Very interesting! But to tell you the truth, I prefer trustworhty and verified platforms working with reliable means of cryptocurrency. Also, I think it's the right time for many online businesses to start accepting cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin. You can read this article about why businesses accept bitcoin (http://business-opportunities.biz/2020/03/12/accept-bitcoin-online-business), it's quite interesting and useful.

Very often businesses also give preference to this (https://libertex.com/currency/gbp-usd) currency over euro or dollar.
It is a very disputable issue because say China is banning crypto all the time. Under given circumstances it is not safe investing in crypto at the moment, my opinion.

Ohh, cryptocurrencies are cool. As for me, I did not know which casino to choose better, and my friend helped me, recommended me this site https://playcryptocasinos.com/, where I found all the information about the best crypto and bitcoin casino sites. There are also pros and cons of crypto casinos that I have noticed for myself. It was a really useful start for me to start raising money in the casino world, and I started gambling. Which is what I do. Try it, suddenly it will be useful for you.

There is no "ethical" or "sustainable" commercial fishing, they all contribute horribly to plastic pollution and the destruction of marine habitats. I've just stopped eating fish.

Oh, that's interesting. Moreover, I recently played in a crypto casino, but now I prefer the casino jackpot. But when choosing a casino, first of all pay attention to the casino rating and reviews of real players. Read more (https://lowdepositcasino.org/casino/jonny-jackpot/) reviews here. I really like to read casino reviews first, and then start playing on suitable and proven sites.

My hobby is gambling. It isn't easy to choose a reliable casino, as many sites exist, but there are enough scammers. Reviews and ratings on various sites help. For example, I can recommend this site https://book-of-ra-slot.co.uk/. Here you can find a review on the Book of Ra slot)

Fishing? To be honest, it seems to me that these blockchain technologies can be applied in absolutely any area.

This technology is quite promising indeed, and I feel like it can be a pretty good solution for many types of businesses. In my case, articles like https://www.pandadoc.com/blog/how-to-create-a-proposal-quote-in-salesforce/ already helpful enough and make me take my business to a new level, but I think at one point, I might consider something like that.

I am a big fan of https://studybreaks.com/thoughts/what-to-look-for-if-you-want-to-hire-forex-brokers-and-traders/. They have articles on almost every forex broker and the rating system is easy to understand. The site also has an active community so you can ask questions about different brokers or start discussing your experiences with specific brokers.
Being a forex broker can bring a lot of money. However, it can bring lots of risks as well.
My friend recommended to me an article about binary options and its risk taking. I recommend you to read it https://phonetrack-reviews.com/ in order to understand simple thing: a free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

From Moscow’s icy grip I’ve wrestled crypto markets since they were whispers in the dark. Automated trading’s the steel heart of this beast: unyielding cold and calculated. The landscape’s a battlefield with bots scalping kopecks or stalking trends like wolves. Some wield AI reading charts like tea leaves others snatch arbitrage in the shadows. It’s logic over chaos pure and simple. https://edensol.net Sly smile But don’t sleep on it comrade. Markets turn savage and a lazy bot’s your ruin. I test mine on history’s bones refining till it cuts like a knife. Seen too many drown in greed thinking code’s a golden ticket. It’s not. It’s a weapon and you sharpen it daily. When it sings profits flow like vodka at a feast. When it falters you adapt or freeze. Study the game harden your resolve and automation becomes your shield in this relentless digital steppe.

With the growing popularity of blockchain, looking for your own business idea is a great solution. I was helped by the article by Merehead, which analyzes the most relevant areas in detail: DeFi, NFT, tokenization, smart contracts. It was especially interesting to learn merehead (https://merehead.com/blog/blockchain-business-ideas/) how blockchain can improve traditional areas, such as insurance or logistics. The article helps to understand why technologies are becoming popular and what problems they solve. This inspired me to think about creating a blockchain-based service.
