Responsive, Adaptive and Mobile-Friendly Websites – What is the Difference?

Because more and more people are using their mobiles to access the internet, sometimes it gets quite tricky. To get to know the difference between responsive, adaptive and mobile-friendly websites, keep reading.

Responsive Websites

On the websites with a responsive design, the mobile user is the top one priority.

The responsive websites sizes change simultaneously with the browser’s ones depending on the device used. It also, depending on the width of the browser, adjusts the design elements.

The user also makes is change when they choose the browser size. When you make your browser smaller while on a desktop computer, the website will adjust to it. This change will happen most optimally.

When it comes to mobile devices, the responsive websites take into account its size in the background before arranging the content to fit the best.

Even though this type of website is not made for mobiles, it still works quite well.

Adaptive Websites

The adaptive website can be considered the cousin of the responsive website because it mainly changes the browser size of the user and the elements of the site all considering the device. It will only adapt specific element to different screen sizes and browse contrary to dynamizing all the content.

There is a wide range of fixed layouts that designers create. The website chooses which one suits best your device.

The adaptations are pre-determined, so there is no dynamic process which can adapt itself.

Mobile-Only Websites

This type of website has an “m” in the URL, and it is a fading option. It makes the site best for mobile use.

This is also known as a standalone mobile site which is different from the desktop version. It includes the same elements as the desktop one.

What is the Future of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett and Who will Change it?

A new technology called game streaming might change the whole game industry and here is why.

Local content vs game-streaming

If you are a beginner, streaming games will not make you get a gaming hardware and spend hundreds of cash on it.

Yourhas the necessary hardware which can display the streamed games so you will not need huge hard drives, high-powered graphics card or processors as a way to store games.

Nvidia GeForce Now

Even though Nvidia’s GeForce Now is only in beta and it keeps upgrading, we still have the assurance that it might become official soon.

GeForce Now has the ability to support over 300 games at the moment and if you want you can also make your own additions from Uplay library and Steam, and you will be able to benefit from all your games.

At the moment of being, you do not have to pay anything to use GeForce Now, but you need to pay for your games on Steam. When the service will no longer be on beta, you might have to pay a sum.

PlayStation Now

Sony has developed a game-streaming service called PlayStation Now which was mostly created for PlayStation 4, but you can also use it on your PC if you get a compatible controller.

The PlayStation Now game-streaming service is no longer available on Sony Smart TVs, PlayStation 3, PlayStation TV, and PlayStation Vita.

Without access to Steam or similar services, PlayStationNow does pretty well alone as it has a wide range of games kept in its library. You can choose from over 600 games along with other new ones added month by month.

These two game-streaming services might steal PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett’s bread.

Turkish Lira Collapse Highlights Bitcoin (BTC) Relative Stability

The current currency crisis in Turkey is being used by the mainstream media to make a comparison between the national currency and the leading cryptocurrency in the market. The latest contribution to this is a demonstration of relatively low volatility Bitcoins (BTC), published by Bloomberg today, on August 13th.

Turkish lira fluctuations compared with those of the Bitcoin (BTC)

Under the heading “Turkey’s collapse is driving the volatility of the lira comparable to Bitcoin,” Bloomberg reveals the full extent of the devaluation of the Turkish currency this year and writes the following:

The 10-day fluctuations of the Turkish lira relative to the US Dollar now exceed those of Bitcoin (BTC) in the midst of the escalating currency crisis in Turkey.

However, Turkey citizens turned to Bitcoin (BTC) for investment

Turkey has seen an increase in consumer interest in Bitcoin (BTC) since the lira, which has been depreciating against the US Dollar since January, fell to unprecedented lows within a brief time due to various geopolitical factors.

According to data from Google Trends, the Turkey residents’ interest in Bitcoin (BTC) increased significantly in August, while local cryptocurrency exchange platforms experienced a trading volume increase of over 150 percent, this week alone.

The situation of cryptocurrency is not yet evident in Turkey

While legislators carry out capital controls, the status of cryptocurrency in the country remains uncertain, in general. Despite Turkey’s official position that Bitcoin (BTC) is not compatible with Islam, local cryptocurrency exchange platforms have the full support of the Landesbanken, as an article released by Forbes reported earlier this week.

The markets in Turkey have seen rising volatility for some time, while operators such as BtcTurk Bitcoin are currently trading at prices with around $500 more per BTC than on the other leading foreign cryptocurrency exchange platforms.

This trend could continue, some analysts indicated, if the country’s economic situation does not stabilize and the Turkish lira doesn’t surge.

Tether (USDT) Raises Concerns Of Market Manipulation As It Transfers $50 Million To Bitfinex

One of the top 10 cryptocurrencies, also referred to as a stable coin in the crypto-verse, Tether (USDT) recently issued $50 million in USDT, that, as reported by the OmniExplorer, Tether transferred to Bitfinex, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world, on August 11th, 2018, at 11 AM UTC.

That prompted the cryptocurrency enthusiasts to claim that Tether is once more engaged in cryptocurrencies market manipulation. The people have also said that Tether often issues more USDT coins when the crypto market is going bearish.

The allegation of manipulation came up because of John Griffin and Amin Shams, two investigators at the University of Texas. The investigators released an article titled “Is Bitcoin really Un-Tethered?” The paper discusses how Bitfinex is using Tether to purchase Bitcoin on other crypto exchanges and especially when the Bitcoin (BTC) price is falling sharply in the market.

That is not the first time when Tether (USDT) raises concerns and gets accused of market manipulation

A comprehensive 3-page release was launched in June as a result of Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan LLP investigation on Tether (USDT). This company has been granted complete access to Tether’s bank information together with information regarding the number of employees who actually own a part of the company’s shares.

This transparency was required when they uncovered a whopping $7 million, higher than what was recorded in a spot check of the Tether’s bank accounts.

Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, the world’ s leading cryptocurrency trading platform, recently expressed his worries regarding the Tether (USDT) cryptocurrency. In his opinion, Tether only profits from its trading portals. He also thinks the company is afraid of being shut down, and for this reason, they do not divulge their bank details.

Also, Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin (LTC), frequently stated that as its tokens are dollar-backed, Tether purchases cryptocurrency using these USDT tokens.

Bitmain IPO Concerns The Cryptocurrency Industry

The crypto mining equipment manufacturer Bitmain remains focused on its Initial Public Offering (IPO) as criticism raises the alert on its financial prospects.

As Bitcoinist announced in late-July, the company reported that it plans to conduct an IPO of $14 billion by the end of this year, after earning more than $1 billion in Q1 2018.

In the meantime, pre-IPO investor offering data has given rise to concerns about Bitmain’s financial outlook, focusing in particular on its massive Bitcoin Cash (BCH) stocks, which may not be liquid until the markets are converted before the IPO launch date.

“According to Bitmain’s investor deck before the IPO, they sold most of their Bitcoin (BTC) for Bitcoin Cash (BCH),” stated on Twitter Samson Mow from Blockstream.

The pre-ICO data issued in the past week suggests that several sources have argued that its level of investment in BCH may ultimately scare off the investors who are aware of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) liquidity status and the role of Bitmain in its safekeeping.

Bitmain IPO concerns the cryptocurrency industry

While Bitmain staff, among them the CEO Jihan Wu, is still hesitant to disclose the less complimentary second-quarter results and the alleged “secret” mining, analysts appear to concur that a bullish market for cryptocurrency would probably fix the liquidity issues.

“Bitmain will not launch an Initial Public Offering (IPO) until they have favorable market conditions, which means that there is likely to be a bullish market approaching the actual date of the IPO,” reads a blog post on this topic, published on Medium.com.

“However, once it is made public, shareholders will want to know why Bitmain continues to siphon off profits to underpin a failing currency and how they intend to liquidate their massive position in Bitcoin Cash (BCH),” affirmed Vijay Boyapati, a software engineer.

In conclusion, the Bitmain IPO (Initial Public Offering), expected to raise $14 billion by the end of the year, concerns the cryptocurrency industry due to the massive Bitcoin Cash (BCH) the crypto mining equipment manufacturer holds.
