Simple Explanation of Bitcoin
Over the last ten years, the world has seen the rise and establishment of cryptocurrencies. What at first seemed like a dark-web, alternative thing that only a specific group of people were into, now became a topic as relevant today as any other news in the Western stock market. And the cryptocurrency what started it all and still remains as the #1 most coveted is Bitcoin. Bitcoin has existed since 2009, and during the last decade it has survived the rise and fall of it's "buble" in 2017, and with the beginning of the '20s it has become an almost mainstream, digital currency, endorsed by personalities like Elon Musk and companies like JP Morgan. It also, to this day, maintains the same volatility it was born with. Some people still refer to cryptocurrencies as the Wild West of Economy.But what exactly is Bitcoin? Is it real money? How is it any different from regular, digitized money? What is blockchain? Is it better? Is it safe? How do I invest in it? All of these questions have stormed the minds of many during Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies rise to fame. The internet is overwhelming in it's information flow and it seems like there is no one single source that helps with the lack of knowledge and accessibility to the issue. It's not a coincidence: for centuries, the financial market has behaved like a different sphere, that way it can only keep a few players in the game. But Bitcoin is global, and digital, and the last few years have proved that the map is getting bigger, and there are more players involved everyday.This book is here to answer all of your questions. You'll learn how Bitcoin works, it's history, it's uses, and it's complexities, and it's culture. We deserve to be informed. Let this book welcome you into the club, and finish it prepared for what's next; whether that is a trip to the Wild West, or a New Era of Economics based on cryptocurrencies.

An Asian Direct and Indirect Real Estate Investment Analysis
This book is dedicated to real estate scholastic work, in advancing the greater understanding of real estate investment analysis. This is because there has been limited research in bringing out clearly the uncertainty or risk, which is quantifiable uncertainty in real estate market analysis. Even real estate market research, which is carried out as an industry practice among private real estate researches, is no exception. Another reason is that it has been widely accepted that while the financial revolution has substantially changed many sectors of the financial industry, it has made little impact on real estate development and investment practice as Ill as scholastic work. Furthermore, while it is readily acknowledged that despite its huge share in the world Ialth, real estate investment discipline and research is on the whole still a poorly researched subject area. As a result, the industry tends to be dominated by traditional real estate analysts with little understanding of real estate market uncertainty and capital markets. These commentators are widely regarded to spend too much time worrying about local space supply and demand conditions, while totally losing sight of the everchanging real estate market and capital market conditions. The theme of this book is real estate investment analysis of direct and indirect real, which in turn can be appropriately managed under economic theory and the theoretical conceptions of real estate finance, provided the uncertainty is quantifiable. The book deploys case studies involving Singapore and Asia. This Black over White background viii framework enables real estate market analysis to attempt what defines the Asian direct and indirect real estate sectors; what is being measured; how it behaves (in terms of price and non-price factors); how it is structured and how it effectively achieves the objectives of sustainable total returns and manageable real estate market uncertainty. Managing real estate market uncertainty optimally is achieved at the portfolio level through real estate asset allocation. This is important because the real estate portfolio is able to virtually eliminate the unique (i.e. specific) uncertainties among the various Asian real estate sectors; thus retaining within the portfolio only the systemic (i.e. market-wide) uncertainty. Apart from real estate asset allocation, the alternative and modern approach to risk management at the portfolio level, is the value-at-risk (VaR) approach. Another modern and important alternative to coping with uncertainty is real option analysis and pricing that help to better define real estate market uncertainty in extent and time. Real option analysis and pricing also represent uncertainty via a decision tree and the risk-neutral probability conception, in order to comprehend how uncertainty impacts on the value of real estate investment decisions. The pricing of uncertainty is based on the risk-free hedge security conception. These are best examined at the micro level of the investment in a real estate development opportunity on vacant land. Nevertheless, the real estate sectors in Singapore and Asia offer promising prospects since the Asian currency crisis of 1997. It is now timely to take stock and make an assessment of how the sectors would pan out for the future, Ill into at least rest the next century. I are very pleased to present our thinking and research in international real estate with particular emphasis on Asia. The region's vast potential for real estate is itself a large incentive for international real estate research and education that has inspired me to document the significant work I have done over the years.
