Fintech will Revolutionize Money Management, and Perhaps Money Itself

Fintech will transform finance in the coming years, presenting great opportunities for innovators able to help us manage our finances more easily and less expensively. Moving money costs money, and the cost varies depending on the method.

A Very Pandemic Cyber World

Three major challenges for 2022 involve data theft, ransomware and denial of service attacks. Money is the root of all evil activity in cyberspace, and the rise of digital currencies like bitcoin has made it possible to make payments and transfers anonymously.
