Hello everyone! Sadly server is still down, so the one person thats actually reading this will have to wait longer. Sorry! This blogpost will be about money. So, why was money invented in the first place? Well, before money people were trading thing for thing. So lets say you would sell a piece of meat for a jar of milk, etc. This worked well enough for milions of years, but then people were scammed because they didn't know what something was worth, or they just didn't want the thing the other guy was selling etc. So, thats how money became popular. Everyone wanted money, because they had value for everyone else too. People started commonly using expensive materials as a currency, given the fact that they had worth that wasn't changing(currently for example diamonds are loosing value because they are made in lab too, but that was not being done at the time). That time was even better than now I'd say, because the amount of currencies back then coul've been about 5-10(different types of expensive materials). And then, disaster stroke. As people started using paper money, it became common practice for goverment to print money, creating inflation. I propably don't have to explain what inflation is, but in short version, goverment prints money making all other money less worthful. This hapens with preety much all currencies that are not going trough deflation, which is hapenning when the amount of currency is decreasing, increasing its value. So, what are some solid currencies? Propably dollar or an euro. Both of these have similiar value, however its changing over time. You'll commonly find euro being used in europe and dollar in US. Obviously, there are more dollar types, such as the australian or canadian ones. These currencies are not as inflated as other ones might be. For example the zimbabwian dollar was worth so low price, that it was very commonly used as toilet paper, and to make up 1 USD with them, you'd propably need about 100 trilion of them. So, what currency should you keep your money in? Well, that depends. If you want to spend money, you will propably need to convert them into the local currency, and if your shopping online, you will propably need usd or euro. Assuming you want to store your money long term however, gold is propably ideal way. It cannot be created artificially, because it can only be created when 2 neutron stars collide(commonly) which means, that inflation will not affect it in any way. Your money count will actually increase as the price of money goes down. So if the inflation rate is lets say 10% and you bought 500$ worth of gold, in 1 year you would have 550$ before taxes from buying and selling gold. This is not the only way to make alot of money tho. Lets say you would invest to bitcoin for example in 2016, when it was worth about 370$, and then sold it in 2021, you could make up to 66milion dollars. Thats alot of money! However, cryptocurrencies are preety unstable, so its propably not worth the risk in most cases. Now, you might say, isn't this blog supposed to be about mostly development? And yes, you are absolutely right! Thats why I will now tell you how to actually make easy payment using paypall api. You don't actually have to use the api tho, you can just use the simple buttons paypall introduced. First of all, you will go to your paypall dashboard and click the settings button. Then, you will click on the cathegory seller tools and then paypall buttons. Then there will propably be bunch of options, and you can select whichever one you want. After you're done, the paypall will generate something like this: ```
``` And like that, you have complete payment system. Note, that paypall does have some cut, about 30% to be exact. You propably don't have to worry about that too much tho, since it will be cheaper than hire entire development team to do it from scratch. Thanks for reading everyone!
