New to Crypto? Ten terms to know before entering the crypto-comy FUD: This stands for “fear, uncertainty and doubt”. It is a market situation where a group of individuals spread misleading information about a specific crypto to evoke feelings of fear, uncertainty and doubt in the minds of others. They do so to pull down the value of a cryptocurrency and then benefit from it by buying it at a relatively low price. ATH: Keeping track of ATH or “all-time high” will help you keep an eye on the price movement and performance of cryptocurrencies, which are very volatile in nature. Private and public key: A private key is a code with a series of numbers and letters that acts like a password for you to access your digital assets. A public key is also a similar code, but it is a unique address where you get your cryptocurrencies. A public key and address is the same thing. A private key is not to be shared with anyone, while the public key must be shared with others. Whales: This term refers to individuals with a significant share of specific cryptocurrencies. Just like how the ocean whale has the potential to make waves in the ocean, “whales” in the crypto market have the power to manipulate market prices because of the significant shares they hold. Rekt: This is a short form for wrecked. Rekt means that a trader or investor has lost a substantial sum of money. Before entering the cryptosphere, it is important to understand the common terminologies and abbreviations. If you don’t, the complex world of cryptocurrencies may be even more difficult to understand. Here are some terms that are popularly used in the cryptosphere. HODL: No, I have not misspelt HOLD as HODL, but GameKyuubi, a cryptocurrency forum member, did. In 2013, at the Bitcoin Talk Forum, GameKyuubi misspelt, “I AM HODLING” instead of “I AM HOLDING”. HODL now stands for “Hold on for Dear Life”, which suggests that one is holding onto their cryptocurrencies despite the price dips. Bitcoiner/altcoiner/nocoiner: These are basically tags for various types of cryptocurrency investors. A bitcoiner is someone who only invests in bitcoin, with little to no interest in other cryptocurrencies. An altcoiner is someone who loves exploring cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin and invests heavily in altcoins. As the name suggests, a nocoiner doesn’t hold any cryptocurrencies.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, entrepreneurs often wonder if they can register a company without securing a traditional brick-and-mortar office space. The answer is YES, thanks to the concept of virtual offices. So, How to register Thai company by using Virtual office? In this article, we’ll explore the viability of registering a company without a physical office and the use of a DBD-approved address for essential business activities. As remote work gains popularity, the concept of virtual offices has become a game-changer for businesses. A virtual office provides a professional address without the need for a physical workspace, allowing entrepreneurs to establish a corporate presence efficiently. This address has been approved by DBD so that entrepreneurs can utilize it for regulatory compliance and crucial business activities, such as: Thai Limited Company Incorporation Tax Registration VAT Registration Social Security Registration Marketing Collaterals, Business Cards and websites How Does Virtual Office Work? Virtual Office is not only possible but increasingly common in the digital age. Leveraging a DBD-approved virtual office address streamlines the process, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growing their businesses without the constraints of a traditional workspace. For detailed service information, please check out the website: https://unionspace.co.th/index.php How To Register A Thai Company in an easy way? Fork: Cryptocurrencies are updated frequently, and with every update, we see a change in the protocol of a cryptocurrency, which is what you call a fork. Generally, there are two types of fork: hardfork and softfork. Hardforks are updates where newly introduced rules conflict with existing ones and thus aren’t compatible to operate together. This often leads to a blockchain split and the creation of two different coins. A softfork is when the update is aligned with the old rules, and the two can communicate with each other. Airdrop: It is a marketing gimmick where a newly-launched cryptocurrency distributes its tokens for free or in exchange for a small fee. The purpose is to popularize the cryptocurrency. Mooning: This is an expression to tell that cryptocurrency prices are skyrocketing. By UnionSPACE Step 1: Choose a Reputable Virtual Office Provider: UnionSPACE has been recognised as the Most Advanced Virtual Office Step 2: Verify Compliance: Select a virtual office provider that offers DBDapproved addresses. Ensure the provider is recognized by government authorities, such as Department of Business Development Step 3: Complete Necessary Documentation: Follow the standard procedures for company incorporation, tax registration, or VAT registration. Submit the required documentation, replacing the physical office address with your virtual office details. - 11-
EXPLORING THE RISE OF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES One of the key drivers behind the rise of sustainable business practices is the growing awareness of environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. With scientific evidence pointing to the urgent need for action, consumers, investors, and regulators are demanding that businesses take responsibility for their environmental impact. In response, many companies are implementing strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, minimize waste, and adopt renewable energy sources. Moreover, there is a growing recognition of the interconnectedness between business operations and societal well-being. Companies are realizing that their success is intricately linked to the health and prosperity of the communities in which they operate. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including philanthropy, employee volunteer programs, and ethical supply chain management. By investing in the welfare of their employees, customers, and communities, businesses can foster goodwill and build long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial. Furthermore, investors are increasingly considering ESG factors when making investment decisions. Studies have shown that companies with strong sustainability practices often outperform their peers financially. As a result, sustainable investing has gone mainstream, with asset managers integrating ESG criteria into their investment strategies. This shift is prompting businesses to disclose more information about their ESG performance, leading to greater transparency and accountability. The transition to sustainable business practices is not without its challenges. Companies may face resistance from stakeholders accustomed to traditional ways of doing business. Moreover, implementing sustainable practices often requires upfront investment and may entail short-term costs. However, the long-term benefits far outweigh these challenges. By embracing sustainability, businesses can enhance their reputation, attract top talent, mitigate risk, and gain a competitive edge in an increasingly environmentally conscious marketplace. In conclusion, the rise of sustainable business practices represents a paradigm shift in the way companies approach their operations. By prioritizing environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance, businesses can create value not only for their shareholders but also for society as a whole. As we look towards the future, it is clear that sustainability will be a key driver of innovation, growth, and prosperity in the global economy. By Goh Ph Ng Fei - 12- has witnessed a notable shift towards sustainability. This trend is not merely a passing fad but represents a fundamental transformation in the way businesses operate. Companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their operations, driven by a combination of ethical considerations, regulatory pressures, and economic incentives. In recent years, the business landscape

What’s Happening 1 Songkran Festival 2024 Where is the best place in Thailand to celebrate Songkran? Chiang Mai has a reputation of being one of the best places to enjoy Songkran with a host of cultural activities and street parades in addition to the mass water fights that take place across the city.

beach, but do be prepared for traffic jams leading in and out of Bang Saen during Songkran and the Wan Lai Festival. On most of the Thai islands, Songkran is more restrained compared to the mainland. This makes the islands a good choice if you want to enjoy a more mellow Songkran. Smaller towns and cities in Thailand can be a great place to celebrate with fewer tourists and more of a local atmosphere. Look out too for special local events such as the Hae Nang Kradan Festival in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Songkran is one of the busiest times of the year for domestic travel. If you’re travelling in Thailand over the Songkran period, it’s advisable to book transport and accommodation in advance. Songkran is an amazing event to experience in person, but it must also be noted that it is a dangerous time on Thai roads, especially motorbikes. Enjoy the festivities, but stay safe and don’t throw water at passing motorbikes even if you see other people doing it. Good to know Sawatdee pii mai! Have you ever experienced Songkran in Thailand?
