Could Tokenised Gold Change How People Invest in Gold?

Gold has traditionally required investors to buy physical bars and coins, use financial products or rely on other forms of exposure. Tokenisation offers another possibility: representing ownership or economic exposure to gold through blockchain-based tokens. This could make transfers faster and potentially allow smaller amounts of gold exposure to be traded digitally. But investors still need to understand what stands behind the token, where the gold is stored, who holds it, how ownership is verified and whether the token can actually be redeemed. Does putting gold on a blockchain make the asset more useful, or is it simply a new way of packaging something investors already understand?

Can Bitcoin Ever Become a Safe-Haven Asset Like Gold?

Gold has traditionally been viewed as a safe-haven asset during periods of geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, and market stress. Bitcoin’s limited supply and decentralised nature have led some investors to argue that it could eventually play a similar role, but its history of sharp price swings makes that comparison difficult. As Bitcoin becomes more widely held by institutions and investors, could it eventually develop the same safe-haven status as gold?

Is gold a better investment than Bitcoin during geopolitical crises like the Strait of Hormuz closure?

Gold has always been seen as a safe-haven asset, especially by TradFi investors during times of inflation or geopolitical tensions, but in times like these, pro crypto investors would also debate that the limited supply of Bitcoin makes it an asset favorable in such conditions. Crypto whales also play a crucial role in dictating the trends of the market. Ultimately, the choice depends on an investor's risk tolerance and their portfolio setup.

Governments Holding Bitcoin Reserves

As Bitcoin becomes more widely accepted, some believe governments should consider holding Bitcoin alongside gold and foreign currency reserves. Great examples would be El Salvador and Bhutan. Supporters see it as a strategic asset with long-term potential, while critics argue that its volatility makes it unsuitable for national reserves. If Bitcoin continues to mature as an asset class, should governments begin treating it as part of their reserve strategy?

Mobile Professional Reviews--Oppo R5 review

Oppo's R5 is a seriously gorgeous phone. Clad in metal, it's super-thin -- just 4.85mm (0.19 inches) deep, and it weighs a scant 155 grams (5.5 ounces). It's certainly impressive, but this comes at the loss of the 3.5mm audio jack, so you'll have to use Bluetooth headphones if you want to listen to music.

For Android fans envious of the iPhone 6 's slim frame, well, look no further. The R5's ultra-slim body beats the iPhone handily, and will draw envious stares from other Android owners as well.

But slimness isn't all that great without the performance to back it up, and this is where the phone falters. It's oftentimes sluggish, and the camera takes forever to start up. The phone's thin frame also doesn't help with the heat and it can get uncomfortably hot at times.

Oppo hasn't yet revealed exact dates for the phone's availability, but the Chinese company intends to sell it globally, either through its online store or working in partnership with local distributors. What I do know is that there will be three versions due to the different LTE bands -- one for the US, one for China and one for the rest of the world.

Price wise, the R5 will be sold at $449, which converts to roughly £310. It will also come unlocked, so you'll be able to use the phone on 3G mostly everywhere.

The R5 is encased in metal -- with a hand-polished steel frame and, on the back, brushed aluminum. This gives the phone a premium feel that you'd expect from a more expensive device.

The two-tone color scheme (either white and silver or white and gold) at the back does draw comparisons to Apple's iPhone designs, but the shape of the phone is much more angular. Despite being thinner, it doesn't feel as slippery as the iPhone.

One downside to the thin frame of the phone is that the rear 13-megapixel sticks out, much like Apple's iPhone. However, unlike the small bump of the iPhone 6, the R5's rear camera pops out a fair way, enough that it makes the phone uneven when placed on a flat surface.

The R5 sports a 5.2-inch AMOLED display, with a full HD resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels. The screen is bright and sharp, while colors were vibrant. I do have issues with the auto-brightness settings of the phone -- it can sometimes be too dim.

Like most Chinese-made smartphones, the R5 sports physical home, menu and back keys. I'm not a fan of physical keys since I feel software keys are better to interact with -- you can (depending on the OS) switch the back button to either the left or right position.

The volume and power keys are on the right side, with the micro-USB port at the bottom. As mentioned earlier, there's no 3.5mm audio jack.

Oppo's R5 is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and in theory, should have enough juice to power the phone. But my experience with the device was less than satisfactory: at times the phone would pause between switching apps, for example. I reckon a software update could fix this, and I will update the review if it does.

The phone packs 2GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage and a 2,000mAh battery. There's no microSD card slot to expand that storage, which limits the number of apps you can install and the number of tunes and movies you can keep onboard.

The phone is powered by Android 4.4 KitKat -- not the latest 5.0 Lollipop -- with Oppo's custom ColorOS UI on top. The software is very much improved from the company's first version, How to move apps from an old iPhone to a new iPhone though it looks similar. For one, it's much flatter.

Xiomi Redmi Note 4G : Not a great phone

I am a sucker for stuff which is not easily available in the market. I guess Xiomi / Flipkart ganged up together to take advantage of this stupid Indian mentality. They create artificial scarcity of product by asking you to register for this product first and then wait for the given time and date to add this product in your cart.

So guys, like a fool 2 minutes before the sale started I started staring at the screen and watching the counter as if my life depends upon it. So as the moment came I immediately clicked on the ‘BUY’ button and I was exhilarated to see that I was able to pick up this phone on Flipkart.

I then like a stupid fool started gloating over this as if I have achieved something, as if I have won a gold medal or something.

All this is OK, fine till I started using the product. There are glaring defects in this product.

1. It heats up very fast once you start browsing the internet, use the apps like whatsapp or play games like Temple Run.

2. The MI browser keeps crashing and displays the POPUP every now and then. “We are sorry that MI Browser is not working. Click the send report button to submit the Bug report or click on close button”.

3. It hangs when you are clicking photos and there is an incoming call at the same time.

So my euphoria over the possession of a phone which was difficult to get in the first place turned in to disappointment. This journey from feeling like a winner to ending up like a looser just took 2-3 days.

For all the prospective buyers please beware that please don’t get in to this cheap thrills business.

I reported this to Flipkart with the request to please

1. Fix this phone

OR

1. Exchange this product for a new phone if sure that the new product will not have such defects

OR

1. Give me a refund.

I got a call from the Flipkart executive that they are willing to replace defective phone with a new phone provided I have the original packing. And my god damn luck, I don’t have the original card board packing.

If anyone with little bit of common sense is hearing out there, I don’t need a new phone. I just need a phone without any defects.

I challenge any one from Xiomi / Flipkart to deny that these defects are figment of my imagination and Xiomi Note -4G is a good product.

Also I think we Indians have to learn that all this propaganda of asking you to register and keep you with awaited breath for the sales to begin is a false propaganda. Xiomi Red Note – 4G is just an ordinary product and not something to gloat over. I wish that Xiomi / Flipkart start treating Indian customers with little bit of respect and provide quality phones in the Indian market.
