Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is the first and the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The value of Bitcoin is determined by market demand, and its price can be highly volatile.
In comparison to the US dollar, Bitcoin has experienced significant price fluctuations in the past, with prices reaching an all-time high of over $64,000 in April 2021 and a low of under $3,000 in December 2018.
Despite its volatility, Bitcoin is widely considered to be a store of value and a hedge against inflation.

Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that enables the creation of decentralized applications and smart contracts.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Ethereum has generally trended upwards over time, though it has also experienced significant price fluctuations.
The demand for Ethereum has been driven by its use as a platform for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and the growth of the non-fungible token (NFT) market.
Ripple is a cryptocurrency designed for use in the global payments industry.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Ripple has been relatively stable, with fewer price fluctuations compared to other cryptocurrencies.
Ripple has been adopted by several financial institutions for cross-border payments, which has helped to support its value.
Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created as a lighter and faster version of Bitcoin.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Litecoin has experienced significant price fluctuations, with prices reaching an all-time high of over $375 in December 2017 and a low of under $30 in December 2018.
Litecoin is widely considered to be a fast and efficient payment cryptocurrency, with lower transaction fees compared to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that was created as a result of a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Bitcoin Cash has experienced significant price fluctuations, with prices reaching an all-time high of over $4,000 in December 2017 and a low of under $200 in December 2018.
Bitcoin Cash is designed to be a more practical and efficient version of Bitcoin for everyday transactions.
Tether (USDT)
Tether is a stablecoin pegged to the value of the US dollar, meaning that each Tether token is backed by a US dollar held in reserve.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Tether is designed to remain stable, with fluctuations limited to small deviations.
Tether is widely used as a safe haven for investors during periods of market volatility, and as a means of preserving the value of cryptocurrency holdings.
Cardano is a decentralized platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications.
In comparison to the US dollar, the value of Cardano has generally trended upwards over time, though it has also experienced significant price fluctuations.
The demand for Cardano has been driven by its focus on security and scalability, as well as its commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible development

Human Evolution and Climate Change
The Question An oft asked question relates to how humans and every other species on the planet will or will not adapt to the new environmental conditions that climate change will quite probably (and arguably already has) impose across much of the globe. For other species the answer is fairly obvious, they will either adapt or they will perish. As has been the case throughout all of earth’s history, evolution through natural selection requires that those with the traits that are best adapted to reproduce will do so and so pass them on, especially when pressed by changes in the environment. Many argue that the changes we are seeing or will soon see as a result of climate change are occurring too rapidly for many species to adapt. In essence that evolution cannot keep up with the pace of change. Mutations simply cannot occur frequently enough to supply a wide enough variety of phenotypes of different varieties to allow for at least one that can survive the new conditions any given species may find itself in. Rapid changes are the hardest for the longest lived (excluding microorganisms), and slowest reproducing creatures to deal with, and they face the greatest threat of massive population decrease or even extinction. I happen to think that adaptation can happen much faster than is typically believed, but am not naïve enough to think that even a greatly accelerated adaptation or mutation process will be enough to save all or even most animal species from the threat of habitat loss or change brought about by global warming.
