Suppose you want to open a restaurant in a prime location. You also want to decide on the menu and your preferred time during the day. For this, you will conduct a survey, as shown on the screen. Due to resource constraints, you collect the response for 2000 out of 20,000 estimated restaurant visitors. And remediate all the data quality issues. Next, you start exploring the data to understand what you can do with it.
But it can be strenuous and challenging. Are there tools or techniques to analyze data in a meaningful way? Yes, you can use descriptive statistics such as central value measures and variability measures. Also, visualization methods such as graphs and plots can be used for analysis. For example, you can calculate the average amount people spend per visit every month in a restaurant. This can help you to estimate the size of the market. You can also figure out which cuisine is preferred.
You can use a graph as shown. It is easy to visualize that most people chose Chinese. This analysis lets you know which cooking and time you should focus on during the day. But you have realized that to decide the price of the dishes, you need to know the fees charged by your competitors. If you weren’t sure where we were going, we discussed how analysis and correct projection can give you a good result. Let’s dive a little deeper into it.
History Of Our Financial Instruments Leading To Cryptocurrencies
The first banknotes were developed in China in the 7th century. This made it easier for people to buy and sell things. It eliminated having to carry heavy coins and even take goats and animals on your shoulders so you could trade materials for food and services. Most governments started backing their banknotes with gold. So, for every banknote you had, a little bit of gold was saved in a vault. So, back in the day, banknotes were highly innovative and world-changing until this started happening.
Governments needed to fund their economy, infrastructure, people, and future, so they found a workaround for expediting that process and starting on projects. Can anyone guess what they started doing when they didn’t have the funds? They started printing money even when they didn’t have the gold in the vault to back those banknotes. This was effective because the governments knew that the people would not go to the bank in masses all at the same time to trade in their banknotes for gold.
At that point, governments were responsible for ensuring they filled their vaults with enough gold to back the newly printed banknotes, and we all know that probably never happened. Because of that, inflation started occurring. When inflation starts, prices of services, goods, food, and all of the essential things in our lives go up, and the value of our banknotes decreases.
What Are Cryptocurrencies?
A cryptocurrency is a virtual currency secured by cryptography. Cryptography is the process of encrypting money when sending it and decrypting it when receiving it. It makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit the currency and to spend double. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks built on blockchain networks. This is where it gets complicated. What is blockchain? A blockchain is essentially a database. This ledger is structured using a particular method that secures the data and the integrity of the information.
A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are decentralized. In theory, this makes them immune to government interference and market manipulation. When you buy cryptocurrencies, you own a specific amount of digital currency. Someday, it’ll be much easier and widespread to use cryptocurrencies to buy and sell things like we currently do with the dollar.
It is being adopted, and you will soon start hearing more news that companies will accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Dogecoin for services and things like Tesla, the Mavericks, and the Oakland A’s. Many business entities are starting to accept cryptocurrencies. The goal is for them to be adopted worldwide, but their primary purpose is to store a value you can hold on to or sell by comparison.
