Digital Currency: How different will Digital Rupee be from Crypto Currency?

0

Digital Currency: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made numerous major announcements when she presented the budget for the fiscal year 2022-23 on February 1. He added the Reserve Bank of India will launch digital currency, which is another step towards Digital India. The Reserve Bank of India will issue the digital rupee, according to the Finance Minister. By the way, digital currency is not a new notion. Other digital or virtual currencies, such as bitcoin, are already traded around the world. However, following the Finance Minister’s declaration, there has been a lot of talk regarding the digital rupee. Everyone wants to know what the Digital Rupee is, how it works, and what its benefits and drawbacks are. In fact, the digital rupee will function similarly to bitcoin or other virtual currencies. RBI will be the only one to issue it. Let us look at some of the benefits and drawbacks of the digital rupee in simple termsā€¦

Positive aspects of the digital rupee or currency

RBI would have given the Digital Rupee legal status.

It will be in the form of a digital Rupee.

Any currency can be traded for it.

With the introduction of the Digital Rupee, Indian retailers may now easily make payments in Digital Dollars or Digital Ponds to merchants in the United States and Europe.

This will be a real-time transaction that will not require the use of a middleman.

The negative aspects of the digital rupee

Technology is the most significant challenge that the digital rupee or currency faces. Fraud and scam instances may rise as a result of technological advancements.

For the use of digital currency, a fast internet connection is required throughout the country.

The success of digital currency cannot be predicted until high-speed internet infrastructure is in place.

What is the difference between crypto and digital currency?

India’s digital currency will function similarly to money in that it can be used everywhere. Furthermore, digital currency can be swapped. In crypto currency, however, this is not the case.

Aside from that, you’ll be able to utilise Digital Rupee in any location. Digital rupees will be accepted everywhere, just like debit cards, credit cards, and online payments are. However, if you take a crypto to the grocery store to buy wheat or rice, you will most likely return empty-handed and unhappy.

hypersonic plane: A Chinese company has announced the development of a hypersonic plane capable of flying from Beijing to New York in under an hour. The ‘Rocket with Wings’ aircraft is being designed by the company to fly at an incredible 7000 mph (11265 kmph). It is expected that testing will begin next year. Scientists anticipate that it will be able to fly by 2024. According to a report from Space.com, this futuristic plane is being developed by a space transportation company, according to The Sun. By the end of the decade, it is expected to be able to fly from one end to the other. The company has released a video in which the aircraft flying from the rocket wings can be seen in animation. The aircraft separates from the rocket-powered wings after takeoff and heads for its destination, while the wing and booster are returned to the launch pad.

It claims to be an hour from Beijing to New York.

The aircraft lands on its three front legs once it has arrived at its destination. According to the company, it will be able to connect New York and Beijing in just one hour. The company told Chinese media that it is working on a “winged rocket” for high-speed, point-to-point transportation. It will be less expensive than satellite-carrying rockets and faster than traditional planes.

China invested in hypersonic aircraft.

Hypersonic aircraft are a key component of China’s high-tech plans, with the country investing significant funds and resources in the field. Late last year, plans were revealed to build an aircraft capable of transporting ten people anywhere on the planet in under an hour. The proposed 148-foot hypersonic aircraft is larger than the Boeing 737 and has two engines mounted on top of its main body, according to the South China Morning Post.

Astronomers discovered 1.2 km long Trojan asteroid

Trojan asteroid: An asteroid that has been revolving around the Sun with the Earth for thousands or millions of years has been discovered by astronomers. The Earth has a new space neighbour as a result of this discovery. ‘Trojan asteroid’ is the name given to this 1.2-kilometer-wide asteroid. It will continue to revolve around the Sun on the Earth’s path for at least 4,000 years, according to estimates.

Astronomers are ecstatic about the discovery, which was made with the help of a cutting-edge telescope in Chile. And he’s on the lookout for more asteroids like this.

2020 XL 5 is the name given to this Trojan asteroid. There isn’t a lot of information about it yet.

According to astronomers, it was previously assumed that the Earth revolved around the Sun alone in its orbit. Until now, this was correct. For thousands of years, however, this will not be the case. Because we, the people of the Earth, have a new neighbour. 2020 XL 5 is the name given to it. It’s a Trojan asteroid, to be precise. Until now, the people of the earth didn’t know much about it.

In its orbit around the Sun, this ‘Trojan Asteroid’, like the Earth, revolves around the Sun. Such asteroids are found in the region of Mars and Jupiter, but they are also present in such large numbers near Earth for the first time, according to new research.

The largest asteroid ever discovered

It’s the second ‘Trojan asteroid’ discovered in close proximity to Earth. Nature Communications was the first to report on the discovery.

It’s the second ‘Trojan asteroid’ discovered in close proximity to Earth. Nature Communications was the first to report on the discovery.

This asteroid is 60 degrees ahead of Earth in its orbit. It is the largest asteroid ever discovered, according to the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Cosmos Sciences. The discovery was published in the Nature Communications journal. There are ‘Trojan Asteroids’ on many planets in the Solar System, but this is the second one discovered near Earth.

Trojans in orbit around a planet are referred to as

‘Trojans are objects that share an orbit with a planet,’ says Arthur Cesar Brissano, the study’s lead author. Which are located in Lagrange point and are in sync with the planet’s orbit. The Lagrange point is the distance at which gravity’s effect on any object remains constant. The object becomes stationary as a result of this.

Hungarian PM expresses willingness to make gas deal with Russia amid Ukraine tensions

0

During a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban lobbied for a deal for a large shipment of Russian natural gas amid Russian troops massing on Ukraine’s borders and fears of war.

Hungarian right-wing nationalist leader Viktor Orban said he had requested an extension of a 15-year gas contract with Russian energy company Gazprom during a press conference after meeting in the Kremlin (the central fortress of mediaeval Russian cities). In order to ensure large-scale distribution in the face of rising energy prices in Europe.

However, the two countries have yet to reach a formal agreement. Nonetheless, Orban’s request emphasises the two countries’ close economic and diplomatic ties. Despite being a member of the European Union and NATO, Hungary wants to strengthen its ties with Russia. The Hungarian offer of a deal has raised eyebrows in some European capitals, where Russia is viewed as a rogue state and a threat to the EU’s security as a whole.

Orban’s meeting with Putin on Wednesday was his 12th since taking power in Hungary in 2010, and it was Putin’s first with a Western leader since tensions erupted last year over a Russian troop gathering near Ukraine. It was the first time they had met in person. Hungary has remained silent on the Russian troops amassing on Ukraine’s eastern border. It’s worth noting that approximately one lakh Russian soldiers are camped on Ukraine’s borders.

During the meeting on Wednesday, however, Orban pressed for a diplomatic solution to de-escalate tensions with Ukraine, which have sparked fears of a Russian invasion. “I see my current visit as a peace mission as well,” Orban said.

Biden wants to appoint a seasoned diplomat as Ukraine’s envoy.

Despite the ongoing standoff between Ukraine and Russia, US President Joe Biden is hopeful of appointing a veteran diplomat as Ukraine’s envoy. According to a US official familiar with the decision, President Biden plans to nominate Bridget Brink, a Foreign Service officer, to be his ambassador to Ukraine.

Brink is the US Ambassador to Slovakia at the moment. When the US and its allies are on high alert and nearly a million Russian troops are stationed near Ukraine’s border, he will take over a long-vacant diplomatic post in Ukraine.
