The most political story of the year,as reporters call it, happened last thursday as the Neil Gorsuch appeared before the senators for a confirmation hearing. One of the reasons many Americans voted for Donald Trump was the fear of another Democrat appointing yet another liberal judge to the supreme court. In recent times the court has often ruled on politics, which has been disputed by many Americans, who have expressed their fear regarding the situation.

The quality of your individual life would greatly improve in utopia. The burdens you face from corporate monopolies, the overwhelming weight of the devaluation of your currency and the lack of faith in your neighbors to achieve a civilization of peace and mutual respect has taken its toll for too long. Although this sounds as if it was taken directly from George Orwell’s book (1984) itself, the propaganda of a utopian government rule and the current everlasting war breathes as it’s on self-reliant organization today. Weary of the multiple political parties that are emerging every three seconds, we are faced with a question that has been proposed since the beginning of logical thinking. Is it
An offer is an expression of willingness by one party to contract on certain terms with another party with the understanding that the contract will become binding when accepted by the person to whom it is offered. An offer may be made in different ways, such as in a letter, an email, or even your behavior, so long as it conveys the basis on which the offering party is willing to contract. An offer should consist of: (1) a statement of present intent by the offering party to enter into a contract; (2) a specific proposal that is certain in its terms; and (3) a communication that identifies the person to whom the offer is made. If any of these elements are not present, an offer has not been made. (Walker, C. B., 2012)

Currency acts as a store of value, a medium of exchange and a unit of account. Physical currencies are promissory notes payable to the bearer on demand. Digital currencies are internet-based form of currency. They represent both developments in payment systems and a new type of currency. Digital currencies, in hypothesis, serve as money, at present day they act as money to a small amount of individuals and institutions. It has been often questioned as whether the decentralised digital currency, such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, will emerge as the preferred method of payment for Internet Services or will remain a superficial payment method compared to well established existing payment systems.
Blockchain Technology supports a distributed ledger system and maintains a growing list of records that are confirmed by the participating people. In blockchain framework, each transaction is recorded in public ledger and stores the information of the transaction. In Current scenario, all the currency transactions between persons or entities are centralized and controlled by some other organizations (Interoperability team). Transferring money will needs bank and merchants who process the payments and they charge fee for each transaction. This is the common phenomenon in every domain and this complexity is simplified by Blockchain technology by creating decentralized environment where no interoperability team is required to control the
