Investing has always been an important tool for boosting financial success, especially as inflation increases, and it becomes harder for people around the world to make ends meet. By adopting even a beginner investment strategy, many have found a solution to stay ahead of rising costs and build their wealth over time. Now, with the introduction of the cryptocurrency market, some investors have shown just how life-changing a small investment can make, as larger fluctuations generate higher profits and 24/7 operation times pave the way to a level of flexibility and convenience for those that work a nine-to-five job.

Moreover, the barriers to entry are also reduced, as altcoins and fractional ownership enable people of all income levels to participate. With the potential for high returns, cryptocurrency investments can offer a new path to financial freedom and security. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies provides a sense of control over ones investments, allowing individuals to take ownership of their financial future.

With the continuous surge in growth, the number of individuals participating in the crypto market has surpassed 300 million, and some projections suggest that this figure could exceed 1 billion by 2030. However, many of these users are novice retail investors venturing into the crypto market for the first time. While they are trying to grasp the fundamentals of this market, their lack of experience can result in unfavorable outcomes. Despite the substantial expansion of the market over the past half-decade, most retail investors have incurred losses due to their limited understanding of the market.

To address this problem, comprehensive investment solutions are becoming necessary to help beginners understand the cryptocurrency market and reduce risks as much as possible. With the introduction of these tools, experts believe beginners will become comfortable with this market, and mainstream cryptocurrency adoption will ensue.

While the need for these solutions is clear, such investment tools, including index investing, are only available for the already knowledgeable investor. In contrast, these tools are readily available in traditional markets, where they are popular among users as accessible tools for financial planning. One of these examples is indexes.

Investing in indexes can be a smart strategy for those looking to minimize risk and maximize returns. Rather than buying individual stocks or assets, an index investment provides exposure to a basket of assets, spreading out risk across a diversified portfolio. This can be particularly beneficial for beginner investors who may not have the expertise or time to closely monitor and manage their investments. Additionally, investing in indexes has been shown to provide better long-term returns than active management funds or individual stock picking.

Leading organizations in the crypto space are now looking at different variations of an index, which may include features such as rebalancing and asset tracking that make it accessible to users in just a few clicks. With regular rebalancing, the composition of the index is periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the cryptocurrency market. These minor adjustments help to ensure that the index remains aligned with the overall market trends and can potentially improve returns by capturing gains in rising markets and minimizing losses in falling markets.

The second feature, asset tracking, is another important feature for a cryptocurrency index fund, as it allows investors to easily monitor the performance of their portfolio and make informed decisions about when to buy or sell assets. A good index fund may also provide access to detailed market analysis and research, helping investors to stay up-to-date on the developments in the cryptocurrency space. Competitive offerings will also need to include low fees, easy access through a user-friendly platform, and strong security measures to protect investors assets in alignment with traditional investment products.

One of the providers bringing a portfolio of useful features to life is JJO, an intuitive and user-friendly platform for investing in cryptocurrency. With JJO, investors can invest in a specially created cryptocurrency index based on the principles of the CSi30 index, launched in 2017. However, rather than taking the money in management, investments are made via the clients crypto exchange with the help of API keys. It is entirely up to the account user to select which connections they want to use from one of the top-10 crypto exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase and Huobi, among others.

According to the JJO team, investing in indexes eliminates the risks of losing funds associated with purchasing one or more assets. Even the most successful investors stick to index investing, for example, Warren Buffett. For decades, indexes have been giving their investors revenue higher than 95% of traders and active management funds while relieving them from constant decision-making in the market.

J'JO has all the necessary licenses and registrations to operate globally, making the platform available in over 200 countries. In addition, the service has no hidden fees or interest from investors' profits. For users with deposits under $500, J'JO doesn't charge any fees and investors can use the platform with no limitations on functionality. If the deposit is over $500, it's possible to use the service for a subscription that costs only $14.99.

Whats more, JJO offers a user-friendly, intuitive interface that helps users invest in the specially created JJ035 cryptocurrency index in just five minutes. This index is based on the principles of the CSi30 index, launched in 2017. The index offers automatic rebalancing and asset tracking, available to all users in just a couple of clicks. This approach allows the regular user to enter a new environment, regardless of their level of experience, providing risk reduction through crypto asset diversification.

New crypto index platform makes cryptocurrency investing easier for novices and professionals - Cointelegraph

Woodworking has been a hobby for David Pentimone since his parents bought him a used scroll saw off of Craigslist for his 12th birthday.

His first projects were simple.

It just started with like some simple jigsaw puzzle, just like a silhouette of a penguin or a deer or something like that, Pentimone says. And then I started getting a little bit more adventurous."

Armed with designs he found in a book about making wooden chess sets, Pentimone began making pieces. Eventually he made a complete set. Next came a chess set inspired by Roman architecture.

These days, Pentimone has been carving custom architectural chess sets with his scroll saw a new DeWalt, though he's had several different ones over the years modeling them after skylines in San Francisco and New York. The hobbyist's latest set features hometown architectural icons like the Power and Light Building, Bartle Hall and Liberty Memorial.

During the week, Pentimone works as a training manager at Amazon. But the 21-year-old will take any chance he can to disappear into the woodworking shop in the garage of his Northland home.

The chess pieces Pentimone makes are large and blocky.

The base measures inch-and-a-half by an inch-and-a-half. And then the smaller pieces, generally the pawns, they run about 2 to 2 1/2 inches tall," Pentimone says. "The king is generally up to 7 inches tall.

Each hand-crafted set takes around 50 hours of work.

"Scroll saws are just very controlled and, as long as you have a very good grip on the wood, ... it's just learning the tool and then you have that control," Pentimone says.

A couple years ago, Pentimone started posting his creations on social media. He soon had a commission for a custom set with a New York City theme.

When he finished that one, Pentimone knew he wanted to create a chess set based on the skyline he knows best. So he started researching different buildings around town, looking for something that seemed authentically Kansas City.

I was kind of familiar with the different architecture of some of the more historic buildings, like the Power and Light Building, 909 Walnut downtown, Pentimone says.

But creating a design that works takes time.

A lot of it comes down to cutting the piece out (and then realizing), 'that looks terrible', Pentimone says. 'Let's start again, start from scratch, remake the pattern, cut it out until it works.'

At this point, hes about halfway finished with his Kansas City set, and the familiar skyline is taking shape. There are the twin spires of the iconic 909 Walnut building, and the spiny Sky Stations of Bartle Hall.

Using a scroll saw limits the shapes Penitimone can make. Each building he designs has its challenges.

I'm still actively working on Liberty Memorial, because it's such an iconic part of Kansas City, Pentimone says. And it's currently the king but it's square and the real tower is circular. So Im still kind of working on it.

Its been about an hour and Pentimone has finished with the queen, which looks like a miniature Power and Light Building. Beneath his shop lights, the piece's fresh edges look a bit raw. Now its time for a little light sanding before he finishes it off with a coat of Danish oil.

Despite his obvious skill in crafting these chess sets, Pentimone says his chess game could use a little work.

I do play chess, Pentimone says. "Im not fantastic at it."

"I've been playing with some friends, playing online. And then it's also like very enjoyable to take a set that I've made, and get to play on it with a friend, with my brother or something like that," he says. "So I do play and (am) trying to get better at it.

With another six months of work left to finish the Kansas City set, Pentimone has plenty of time to practice.

3 chess masters to hold simul in Dagupan City on Sunday - The Manila Times

A chess teacher once suspected of being the notorious Mr Cruel has backed calls for detectives to interview a woman who claims she knows where the real killer lives.

Karmein Chan, a 13-year-old private schoolgirl snatched from her home after her sisters were forced into a wardrobe, was shot three times in the head by a man later dubbed Mr Cruel.

Christian Bennett had taught chess at the same school both Karmein and Nicola Lynas - who was abducted and released by Mr Cruel - attended atPresbyterian Ladies College in the 1980s.

He had been an early suspect in the case due to his ability to speak the two Chinese languages spoken by Karmein, was known to have visited Hong Kong many times and had a Hong Kong Cantonese girlfriend at the time of the crimes.

'Needless-to-say, this caused police a great deal of excitement but I had alibis fortunately for the last two crimes,' Mr Bennett told Daily Mail Australia.

Daily Mail Australia reported this month a woman, who believes she lived next door to the killer, claims she is being ignored by 'stubborn' homicide squad detectives.

'Even if they thought the information wasn't credible, it's a basic failure to do their job,' the woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

It can be revealed the woman's claims form part of a 6000-word statement she provided to Crime Stoppers three years ago in the hope Victoria Police homicide squad detectives would interview her about the cold case.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia a homicide squad detective spoke to the woman on the phone, however determined the information she supplied via Crime Stoppers was not able to progress the investigation.

Mr Bennett, who last year exposed the official 1991 joint Victoria Police and FBI profile on the case to be flawed, claimed Victorian detectives needed to interview the woman.

'Police should have checked out this lady's story.Just as a matter of good public relations, police should have done more to check out her story,' he said.

'Ive complained to multiple police chief commissioners that a do nothing approach loses the narrative to others by default.

'Since 2016, almost all the announcements and discoveries on the Mr Cruel cases have been made by private researchers, general public, witnesses and or media. Police have done little and at times been an obstruction to information.'

Investigators had worked under the mistaken assertion that the home invasion and three abductions had all happened during school holidays.

Christian Bennett said that1991 profile was used for years and only recently had its credibility destroyed in a Herald Sunarticle by legendary crime reporter Andrew Rule.

'I wrote a 800 page MSS on the Mr Cruel cold case crimes, of which Victoria Police has a copy (probably gathering dust).

'It covers physical evidence such as railways lines (closed down, planned or operating) being near most of the crime sites, to left field things like apparent circumstantial connections with popular media such as books and TV shows,' he said.

Mr Bennett said he had 'paid the price' for going public with his views on the Mr Cruel investigation.

'Almost every serious researcher in the Mr Cruel case has been targeted by trolls, myself included,' he said.

On April 13, 1991,John and Phyllis Chan were at work in their Chinese restaurant leaving daughters Karmein, 13, Karly, nine, and Karen, seven, at home in Templestowe - north east of Melbourne.

Armed with a knife Mr Cruel forced Karly and Karen into a wardrobe and disappeared into the night with Karmein.

Karmein's remains were found near a substation known as the Thomastown Terminal Station about a year after she vanished.

Mr Cruel's first victim was not removed from her house and was instead assaulted just metres away from her parents, who'd been bound and gagged.

But the next three were all abducted, two would return home but Karmein would never be seen again.

The new 'witness' told Daily Mail Australia she had buried the traumatic events of the time deep within herself for decades until it all come flooding back.

'It's definitely a match for Karmein. There's no way it's not,' the woman said. 'And regardless, why haven't police interviewed me?'

In 2016, Victoria Police announced a $1 million reward for anyone who could provide information leading to the conviction of Karmein's killer.

The woman believes that reward combined with the historic cost of the Mr Cruel investigation is behind the homicide squad's decision.

'Money appears to be the real pressure point now with this investigation,' the woman said. 'They're paranoid about people just wanting to get their hands on the reward.'

Mr Cruel's brazen attacks were so meticulously planned and committed in such a calculated fashion he was initially known as 'Mr Cool'.

None of the surviving victims ever saw Mr Cruel's face, which was hidden by a chilling black balaclava with white stitching around the eyes and mouth.

The woman claims Mr Cruel did not act alone and believes his accomplice is the man detectives believe is Mr Cruel.

Mr Bennett's personal research on Mr Cruel was aired in part last year on Channel Nine'sUnder Investigationprogram.

The programproduced an image of a man it believed was Mr Cruel, suggesting he may have worked or posed as a substation employee, or lived closeby.

The home detective correctly identified that each of the four attacks seemed to have occurred close to high-voltage power lines or substations.

Mr Bennett said he had experienced great difficulty in getting Victoria Police to accept information and 'correct its own mistakes'.

'I and countless others have discovered when putting something forward to police - that they may not wish to even contemplate - they will use mistakes to discredit the submission,' he said.

'I have advised a number of people who wish to submit information to police to have it independently checked out for everything from spelling mistakes to factual errors.'

Mr Bennett claimedsome police doubt the Karmein Chan kidnapping was the work of Mr Cruel due to its apparent lack of sophistication.

'Trust me, where the offender is said by two journalists, in a book called Rats, to have exited with Karmein, over the wall into Church Road, the people who lived opposite could only have seen them with great difficulty though the only small window on that side of their house, that was in their bedroom. This home has long since been pulled down,' he said.

'Another police quibble was that the only reasonable (to them), escape route was left down from Church Road into Foote Street. This seemed like an unnecessary risk, as the offender would not be able to see over the hill and could have been subject to a road block.

'There must have been some embarrassment when I pointed out in 2013/14 that the offender may have used an unmarked SEC electricity utility road, which doubled as a walking track but was not marked on the Melway Street Directory at that time.'

Mr Bennet claimed the killer could have circled back through Sarah Crescent, crossed Serpells Road onto the apparently closed road system starting at County Terrace before following the SEC high voltage transmission lines, which could also prevent low flying helicopters getting too close.

'This route makes more sense if the offender is headed south,' he said.

Police have long believed the killer went north.

Anyone with information is urged to call crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.
