Ridley Scott, the director of blockbuster heavyweights such as Alien, Gladiator and Blade Runner is reportedly developing a new film which will explore the development and creation of the Ethereum cryptocurrency. Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free Productions will help bring a film adaptation of Camila Russo's best-selling book The Infinite Machine to life.

Camila Russo will act as an executive producer on the film and was recently quoted saying:

I can't imagine a better team to turn the riveting story about the people behind the most revolutionary technology since the internet, into a feature film that will capture the hearts of our generation.

With the advancement of Cryptocurrencies and their technology in recent years, the development of this film couldn't come at a better time. With many analysts expecting Cryptocurrencies to rocket even higher in the coming years, Ethereum is one of the top contenders, behind Bitcoin for being mass adopted worldwide.

Currently no title, release date or other details have been revealed yet. But as we learn more we'll keep you posted!

What brought the altcoin Shiba Inu into the investor conciousness was its crazy rise from obscurity in January 2021 to a high of $0.00008841 on October 27, 2021. This rise in value was around 121,000,000% in less than a year.

However, if investors were hoping its rise was to continue, they were mistaken. Now, the memecoin is approaching a deadline which could mean it never reaches these heights again.

As of April 19, the value of Shiba Inu coin is, $0.00002515, around four times lower compared to its aforementioned peak. For it to hit even $0.01, Shiba Inus token would need to increase in value by nearly 40,000% from where it is at the time of this writing ($0.00002515) on April 19, 2022.

Accounting website The Motley Fool believes there is nothing new or interesting about Shiba Inu to make it valuable, let alone hit $0.01. They argue that between 93% and 99% of payment altcoins surrender their maximum value between 12 and 24 months after reaching their peak.

Shiba Inu coin was recently minted on the Robinhood crypto website, which is expected to drive up demand for the coin. While some analysts are expecting its failure, some cryptobros are already heralding the coin and the new Dogecoin, the memecoin that blew up last year.

However, as ever with cryptocurrency trying to predict which will rise and fall is nigh impossible.

Since Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies blew up in 2018, many others have tried to replicate the success. These are the altcoins, simply alternative coins.

Altcoins include all cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin. According to aggregate site statista, there are over 10,300 altcoins globally. These range from tiny coins that are only just beginning to joke coins like Dogecoin. Originally started to troll crypto users, Dogecoin became a beast of its own. It had next to no value until the coin was taken up by Reddit, from which its value increased tenfold.

The term Web3 is creating quite the buzz lately, especially among those interested in technology, cryptocurrency, and venture capital.Heres an introduction to what some people are calling the internet of the future. No one really knows what it is yet, but from an estate planning standpoint, I have some predictions.

To understand Web3, its helpful to go back in time and review the history of the internet.

In the 1990s, we were calling the internet the information superhighway. Although it was confusing and overwhelming to most, many Americans began to dial up nonetheless. Children were being taught how to surf the web alongside adults who learned how to use email and conduct basic web searches for the first time. The internet was very much a blank slate with a steep learning curve. However, many people intrinsically knew this was the next big thing that would change our lives forever. This era of the internet is referred to as Web 1.0.

In the mid-2000s, we entered the age of Web 2.0. Major platforms like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter emerged. They began to make the internet a more convenient place to connect, interact, and transact. However, critics began to question whether these few companies were beginning to amass too much power. In recent years, we witnessed lawsuits in which tech giants were slammed with billion-dollar fines for harvesting personal data and breaching data privacy laws.

Although the public enjoys taking advantage of free services and centralized data, many are questioning the role of these tech giants and whether their control over data is too great. Should we democratize and create information exchange silos on the internet once again?

This is where Web3 comes in, and why its causing a brouhaha amongst tech speculators.

The internet would be decentralized sans tech giants in the future of Web3. We could be looking at the rise of new social platforms, search engines, and marketplaces built and owned by the collective, rather than by a corporation.

End users would reclaim their power and control over their own data. They could possibly move around from platform to platform on the internet using a single personalized account, rather than having to log into multiple different accounts for each respective company and platform.

We could be given tokens for participating, which can then be used to vote on decisions regarding how a platform should change or improve, or demand what features we want to be offered. These tokens could even accrue real value and build our wealth.

How will this be possible? How will all this be secure? Web3 will be built using blockchain technology. Yes, thats right. Its the same technology that is used by cryptocurrency right now. One of the reasons why cryptocurrency and decentralized finance are so popular today is because they cut the middleman out of determining value and executing trades on the internet.

Web3 may be the pathway to cutting the middleman out of the internet, data, and information exchange itself. The internet could become a place that is run by the collective, using digital tokens as its currency.

Although the idea of Web3 could make any average persons eyes glaze over, those who are ahead of the curve and understand crypto are getting excited and placing their bets on Web3.

Do you remember the very beginning of the internet? We would dial-up through America Online (now AOL) in the 1990s and the most we could really do was visit our friends Geocities pages. Everything felt clunky and awkward, and a lot of us didnt even really know what the internet was for. It turned out that the experts werent wrong, and today, the internet pretty much runs our lives.

Web3 could very much be a parallel to this. Its something that remains to be seen, and there is no universal understanding of what Web3 is, or what it will look like. We may be decades away from Web3 becoming our reality, but it behooves us to start thinking about how blockchain technology will revolutionize how we conduct our personal business.

One aspect of this is estate plans. Its entirely possible we could have blockchain-based estate plans. You could, in theory, set up smart contracts that dictate that your digital assets will be passed automatically to your spouse or beneficiary upon a specified trigger event, such as your death. These assets would not go through the probate court as they would today.

In other words, in the age of Web3, we could be looking at a possibility in which the effectuation of an estate plan could become decentralized.

Although we may be decades away from a new reality like Web3, the estate planning industry is already taking steps in this direction.

For instance, California has enabled the small-estate affidavit, which allows for estates valued under $166,250 to bypass probate. More states could follow suit. On a grander scale, more and more states are adopting laws that enable the digital execution of wills. This is made possible by legally recognizing e-signatures and e-notaries. These types of regulatory changes make it possible for wills to be effectuated automatically and digitally.

The digital age is here, and one thing you can do now is protect your assets (both physical and digital) with an estate plan. We are hearing too many jaw-dropping stories about hundreds of millions in cryptocurrency fortunes being lost in the ether due to a lack of proper estate planning. Crypto is popular amongst young adults, demonstrating the need for estate plans to be established earlier in life as well.

Have a plan in place for how to protect your digital assets, how you plan to pass them on if anything were to happen to you, and leave instructions for how they can be accessed and used. Estate planning is the key in this digital age.

Sam Bankman-Fried understands Elon Musk. The cryptocurrency billionaire, owner of the FTX exchange platform, gave an interview to Bloomberg TV in which he said that social networks have a broken model that can be repaired using block chain technology (fundamental to the industry). of NFTs and cryptocurrencies). According to the 30-year-old , the problem is in the moderation policies of the networks: "What is the moderation policy for all social networks? Are they like three types? It is the people who run three companies who choose what what gets censored and what doesn't. That's a broken model... We saw a social network choose not to censor misinformation in 2016 and got burned for that decision, then we saw them choose censorship in 2020 and get roasted for that decision."

According to the businessman, the problem with the networks is that each one is independent of the other, even when they belong to the same company like Facebook and WhatsApp, which are part of Meta: "There is no possibility of seeing a tweet on Facebook. If you send a message someone on Facebook, even WhatsApp can't read it, being from the same company. It's a really messy system where there's no interoperability between the different platforms."

For Bankman-Fried, the use of blockchains could solve the problem and even encourage competition: You put the actual underlying messages directly on the blockchain. What that means is that any platform could, in theory, access those same sets of messages. So whether you're using Facebook, Twitter or any other platform they're all based on all the messages They would be different interfaces living in the same universe.

A few weeks ago (before buying shares of Twitter and launching a crusade to take control of the social network ), Elon Musk published a post questioning whether the platform "adhered to the principles of freedom of expression."

Asked by Bloomberg TV interviewers if he had already spoken with Elon Musk about his proposal, Sam Bankman-Fried replied: "I haven't spoken directly with Elon about this, but I would be excited to."
