Question 1

Crypto Exchanges in & for Suriname

Accepted Answer

List of registered and trusted centralized exchanges in Suriname

Cryptocurrency has significantly changed the financial landscape since the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. Unlike traditional currencies (USD, EUR, SRD) that are controlled by central banks, cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that are secured by cryptography and operate on decentralized networks with blockchain technology. This ensures transparency, security and immutability of transactions.

The rise of decentralized transactions

One of the most notable and controversial consequences of cryptocurrency is the rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). DeFi creates the opportunity to offer financial services without a fleet of intermediaries, reducing costs and making banking more accessible to many people. Moreover, cryptocurrencies also enable faster and cheaper cross-border transactions, challenging traditional financial systems and promoting a global, borderless economy.

Question 5

Price determination of Cryptocurrencies

Accepted Answer

How is the Unit Price or Market Value of a Cryptocurrency Determined on a Cryptocurrency Exchange?

In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency trading, understanding the “Ask-Bid Spread” (Supply and Demand Ratio) is crucial for both beginners and professional traders. The “Supply and Demand Ratio” is a fundamental concept that represents how prices are determined in the market.

This article will explain the mechanics behind the “Supply and Demand Ratio”, how prices are determined through trading, and the key components of this process.

What is the “Supply and Demand Ratio”?

The “Supply and Demand Ratio” is the difference between the Ask Price (the lowest price a seller is willing to accept) and the Offer Price (the highest price a buyer is willing to pay) for a cryptocurrency on a crypto exchange, such as Mercury Iconex.

|| - Ask Price: This is the price at which sellers are willing to sell their cryptocurrency. It is also known as the “sell” price. || - Supply Price: This is the price at which buyers are willing to buy the cryptocurrency. This is also known as the “buy” price.

Example: Let’s say you are looking at the order book for Bitcoin (BTC) on Mercury Iconex:

Ask Price: $60,100 (This is the lowest price a seller offers to sell BTC).
Offer Price: $60,000 (This is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for BTC).

The "Supply and Demand Ratio" in this case is $100 ($60,100 - $60,000).

Why is the "Supply and Demand

Accepted Answer

The 'Genesis' or the origin of the earth with the many surrounding galaxies is an inexplicable mystery, together with the origin and development of humanity. At least, considering many different theories that we have received from a religious level, but also from a scientific level. Theories that to this day do not seem to have any logical connection with each other, but have been accepted by various social groups and then have been transmitted in a refined way through the centuries.

The 'Big Bang Theory' is also such a theory, in which the origin of the universe came about from a so-called big bang. A bang that has set minuscule particles in motion. What we can observe and experience is a result of how we think and the knowledge that we possess, to benefit from those experiences. You will sometimes notice that understanding what we cannot observe, especially the immaterial, starts with information that reaches us and our capacity to arrange, analyze and process that information in order to gain knowledge and insight. The mysterious property and manifestation of the 'Big Bang' has similarities with the technological innovation of Bitcoin, given its immaterial nature. But where does the "Genesis" story of Bitcoin take us?

Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are described by various people with or without knowledge as disruptive, a hype, a scam, a gamble or decentralized technology. The underlying technology, better known as the Blockchain, is causing a stir in various sec
