The Queen Of Asia Blue Sapphire
The massive rough gemstone, dubbed the Queen of Asia weighs 683 pounds. It was discovered in a gem pit in the southern city of Ratnapura (Sri Lanka) in September, but was unveiled by the owners a few days ago. A rough gem of this size is full of surprises. Quality is an issue. The owners are looking for a suitable buyer. In my opinion, it's a museum piece. No one knows its value till someone buys the rough gemstone. Stay curious.

The Father Of Bitcoin
Satoshi Nakamoto (mathematical genuis), the so-called father of Bitcoin, appeared out of the ether in 2008 and disappeared just as abruptly three years later, after establishing the world's first cryptocurrency. Today, Bitcoin is valued at more than US$1 trillion. A remarkable achievement. Satoshi Nakamoto remains anonymous, a mythical creature with a Bitcoin stash of epic proportions. He has strong incentives to remain anonymous. Anonymity is the best security.
