President Trump has come out and talked about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with POTUS saying that he is "not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air". His full tweet:

Interesting to see POTUS slamming Bitcoin yet the price of it didn't go down with many traders on Twitter thinking its bullish, and that directly after Trump's tweet the price of Bitcoin rallied and is still going higher -- at the time of writing. Right now, the price of one BTC is $11,400 or so, up from its lows of sub $4,000 just 6 months ago.

Trump talked about the price of Facebook's upcoming Libra virtual currency, with the President saying Libra "will have little standing or dependability" adding that Facebook should work with a banking charter and get regulated like traditional financial institutions. There are major concerns by House Democrats, and now President Trump, that officially asked Facebook to hold its Libra layout plans as it should be investigated for its possible risks to the entire global financial system.

If you thought some of the serious StarCraft II players were hard then you ain't seen nothing yet as Alphabet Inc. (the parent company of Google) have opened up their DeepMind Alphastar AI into StarCraft II for a limited time.

In a blog post the company explains: "Experimental versions of DeepMind's StarCraft II agent, AlphaStar, will soon play a small number of games on the competitive ladder in Europe as part of ongoing research into AI. If you would like the chance to help DeepMind with its research by matching against AlphaStar, you can opt in by clicking the "opt-in" button on the in-game popup window. You can alter your opt-in selection at any time by using the "DeepMind opt-in" button on the 1v1 Versus menu".

You won't know if you're playing against the DeepMind Alphastar AI or not, as it's purely there to see how players react to the AI (and whether or not they even know they're playing against it). If players knew they were playing against an AI they would play differently, this way the results will stay unaffected.

If you are a collector then you would know that Pokemon cards hold some of the highest of value, so how heartbroken would you be if you ordered a $60,000 card and it got lost in the mail?

The Pokemon card is Trainer No. 3 and is one of the most valuable Pokemon cards on the market because of its rarity and historical value. The card was awarded to the third place winner at the 1999 Pokemon competition in Japan called the Super Secret Battle. According to Polygon, the card was sold for $60,000 on eBay by pokemonplace and was sent out to the buyer via UPS with $50,000 worth of insurance attached to it.

pokemonplace managed to get in contact with Polygon and said: "My responsibility was to ship the card to Aramex [...] a middle man company that then ships the card to the buyer. The tracking information I have was with registered mail and shows tracking and a signature. Aramex claims they haven't received it and signed for a bulk lot." Since a signature was made, pokemonplace cannot claim the insurance back on the card, and since nobody knows where the card is or has gone to pokemonplace is left dead in the water.

GIGABYTE has just unveiled its new Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G and Radeon RX 5700 8G graphics cards, with both sticking to the reference design from AMD -- no custom cards yet folks.

AMD's new Radeon RX 5700 series cards usher in the first 7nm Navi 10 GPU to the market mixed with 8GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory and a laundry list of new features from its RDNA architecture. We have the world's first PCIe 4.0 graphics cards in the RX 5700 series, with our reviews on those two cards right here.

The new GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G and RX 5700 8G are not custom cards, and this is more for system builders. We should wait for the custom AORUS branded graphics cards in the new Radeon RX 5700 series, as I'm sure they can't be too far away. Hopefully not anyway, given that I've already got custom SUPER graphics cards in my hands.

The Switch Lite sees many features omitted from the original $299 SKU and might weaker in power.

It can't be docked for dedicated home console play and has two controllers fixed to its sides that don't feature IR sensors or HD Rumble.

It also has a full D-pad, which is something the original model still doesn't have (not officially anyway). The Lite has a smaller 5.5-inch screen with 720p resolution (down from the 6.2-inch screen of the original) and the chassis has been shrunk to 3.6x8.2x.55 inches in dimension.
