Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, the vision is to create a world computer that anyone can build applications in a decentralized manner; while all states and data are distributed and publicly accessible. Ethereum supports smart contracts in which developers can write code in order to program digital value. Examples of decentralized apps (dapps) that are built on Ethereum includes tokens, non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance apps, lending protocol, decentralized exchanges, and much more.  On Ethereum, all transactions and smart contract executions require a small fee to be paid. This fee is called Gas. In technical terms, Gas refers to the unit of measure on the amount of computational effort required to execute an operation or a smart contract.

Muni lovers... what do you think about Nuveen&#39;s proposed merger of $NQP $NXJ and $NOM into $NMZ ? 
 
I like having more funds to choose from but I guess if they can lower costs for investors I shouldn&#39;t bee too opposed. I have let $NOM go since there are better valued funds right now but I sure do miss those illiquid swings that minx of a fund would make.  
 
Like usual there is not much of a discount in $NMZ right now. If the merger would have the other discounted funds roll in at NAV that would be pretty great... I&#39;m just glad they didn&#39;t throw in any retarded state funds into this mix. Nuveen will likely get great support if these funds roll in at NAV so if you are reading this Nuveen please do this!

@JohnnyWonLovesDividends I&#39;m voting YES! Of course, give it plenty of time after &quot;any merger&quot; in the stock world as we will probably be down a bit but we will be better off in the end when the dust settles.

@JohnnyWonLovesDividends It won&#39;t have the same level of tax advantages for those of us living in NJ (or PA and MO for that matter) being that it&#39;ll now be a national muni fund.

@9ForMyLostGod Yes, I understand that. They may lose some shareholders that are there for the state benefits and find better suited funds.
