In twelve cases, it resulted in war.\n\nThe rise of China as a global economic powerhouse contrasts sharply with the gradual decline of America, which desperately wants to cling on to power and influence.\n\nBoth Xi Jinping and Donald Trump vowed to make their respective countries 'great again', and so the seventeenth such power struggle appears to be brewing.\n\nUnless China scales back its ambitions or the US accepts becoming number two in the Pacific, a trade conflict, cyber attack, or accident at sea could easily escalate into all out war.\n\nThe US is indisputably the world's premier military power right now, but this situation will not last if the emergent Chinese choose to invest significantly in arms.\n\nWith the Chinese economy set to accelerate far beyond that of the US, it's likely that the People's Republic will increase its defence spending.\n\nPutting the obvious aside, a war will be catastrophic for the Dollar, Pound, Euro, or Yen if the sabre-rattling between the US and North Korea is anything to go buy.\n\nBut consistent throughout have been the financial safe havens of Gold and Silver. Wise investors repeatedly turn to precious metals as a defence mechanism to ward off financial catastrophe at times of increased tension.\n\nIf a political impasse leads to armed conflict, then it'll be far too late to take any preventative steps to protect your wealth.\n\nPut simply, your life savings and business profits are extremely vulnerable.\n\nStart investing in Gold and Silver from one of the world's leading refiners at near wholesale prices today!\n\nwww.GoldSilverDigital.com",

Only a sixth predict they will earn £100,000 a year by the time they're 30. \n\nWhile conventional careers are showing signs of a squeeze, the unconventional jobs market continues to boom with an increasing number of people turning to the internet to market products and services. \n\nCryptocurrencies and precious metals offer anyone from all walks of like the chance to develop a highly lucrative business while working from home. \n\nAnd with the freedom of working from home, it's attracting many younger people who have become disillusioned working longer hours in corporate jobs. \n\nwww.WorkWithSteveThomas.com",

According to CryptoCompare.com returns per month based on today’s rates would be $542.99, or over $6,500 a year. \n\nThose returns could almost double if money earned was compounded. \n\nAlthough it’s impossible to predict because of changing reward and exchange rates, in two years – the life of each contract – the owner could well be earning an equivalent amount per month as was originally put in if current rates were projected forward. \n\nFrom there the individual could invest in a wide range of assets including gold and silver, both of which are available through Swiss Gold Global at very favourable rates. \n\nWith Ethereum mining contracts starting at $29.99 per MH/s, anyone can easily get started leveraging their money. \n\nClick the link to get started: \n\nwww.GoldSilverDigital.com",

      "body": "Advocates of cryptocurrencies broadly fall into one of two camps: There are those who feel buy and hold is the best strategy, while the opposing view is that mining is the better route. \n\nThe buy and hold group will point to the better returns an investor could potentially get when prices rally compared to the slower rate of return from mining. However, they are understandably muted when prices fall. \n\nMiners on the other hand point to the illiquidity of buy and hold and believe that a regular flow of digital currency into their wallets is a far better proposition. Plus they hold the view that being at the coal-face of a currency’s creation is the preferred option because without any coins being mined, there wouldn’t be a currency to buy and hold. \n\n![crypto-currency-word-bubble.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUiNS6JaHU98QQJ7HhJRVDw41wZvSb8LZkrZWL2XZLcDy/crypto-currency-word-bubble.jpg)\n\nThere are merits in both arguments, and as far as I’m concerned both are equally valid. \n\nThe real question people should ask when starting out in cryptocurrencies is: What outcome do I want from my investment? \n\nHere’s why. \n\nSomeone who has a high net worth might simply be looking for a place to park their money for the long-term. Typically they might buy property, gold and silver, or business assets. \n\nA few have seen the explosion of interest in currencies like Bitcoin, and are willing to buy a position to complement their existing investments and to broaden their risk. \n\nA buy and hold strategy for them is acceptable as cashflow in this case isn’t a high priority. \n\nOn the other hand cashflow might be more important for someone who wishes to invest a lesser amount and build on the returns they get. Crypto mining would be a better solution in this case as it provides a regular, fairly predictable flow of income. \n\nFor most people this is a higher priority as it could help ease stretched household budgets, or be used for things like a retirement fund or perhaps to pay off expensive education and other bills. It could be used to buy out of reach luxury items too.  \n\nMining is also a good approach for people who are interested enough in digital currencies to get involved, but who want to limit their exposure in something that has yet to gain widespread acceptance. \n\nIt’s also ideally suited for people who are fed up with the low savings rates being offered by banks and who are prepared to put some, not all, of their money to more profitable use elsewhere. This group of people are bold enough to take on a riskier proposition to gain a much better reward. \n\nCompounding mining power can provide some exceptionally good returns over a comparatively short timespan, and as such can be a very good vehicle to help buy other assets. Many miners have seen their initial investment into hashpower grow by up to 140%, and so are quite happy despite the risk of the mining operation becoming unprofitable. \n\nThere is another group of people, and I’ll call them the speculators – or perhaps, adrenaline junkies. For them the return from mining is too pedestrian, while the buy and hold approach isn’t sexy enough. Instead they look to buy low, sell high, then buy low again. \n\nWhile there have been occasions when a fall in value has presented investors with a good buying price, this is purely opportunistic. \n\nThis is only for those people who are astute enough to be able to successfully read the markets. Sadly too many people who try this get caught up in a frenzy of buying when prices are rising, and then want to bail out when they see prices fall in a bid to lessen their losses. \n\nThere are people who are fearful they’ve missed the bus, and so want to acquire as many crypto coins as possible in the shortest possible time. Often they fall for dubious schemes that promise to double or treble their Bitcoin within a given number of days, but instead they usually lose the lot. \n\nThe good news is, we’re at the beginning of the trend and the masses are still largely unaware of what cryptocurrencies are and how they can use them. \n\nMy personal strategy is to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum mining contracts, and initially compound all of the returns, then save some, invest some, and spend some. \n\nFor that I use this platform: \n\nwww.GoldSilverDigital.com",
