Bill Gates violently tackles cryptocurrencies
During an AMA session on Reddit, Bill Gates was asked if he owns any cryptocurrencies. The answer was particularly clear: no, because he prefers to invest in things that have value. “The value of cryptocurrencies is just what another person decides someone else will pay for it, so it does not contribute anything to society like other investments”, he explained.

Samsung will erase this nasty defect on the Galaxy Z Fold 4
As good as they are, Samsung’s foldable phones each show a slight crease mark in the middle of the screen.

According to leaker Ice Universe, the manufacturer would do even better on the upcoming Z Fold 4 and predicts that the screen will be even smoother. The future will tell us if he is right.
