Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, stablecoins are linked to an existing asset, like US dollars, euros, or even gold. Stablecoins typically achieve their stability through the backing of a central authority — such as a private company or non-profit organization.

While other stablecoins may maintain a 1:1 parity with underlying assets, Dai requires higher deposits than the amount it issues. True USD (TUSD) True USD was one of the first stablecoins to try and achieve regulatory compliance.

All channels driven: A lower quality receiver might claim to output 100 watts per channel (WPC) in stereo mode, yet the rating will fall considerably (80 WPC or less) in surround mode. Most (but definitely not all) home audio speakers have an impedance around 6 to 8 ohms. It seems a bit slow to catch on, but the sound quality is superior to FM in most cases. Choose speakers similar to your own to give you a more accurate idea of what the receiver might sound like with the speakers you have at home.

Allow me to make two bold predictions: this is the year we come out of Covid – and by the summer, the pandemic will be over. South Africa is weeks ahead of us in dealing with the latest variant, Omicron, and demonstrates clearly that this version of Covid is much less deadly. And yet the number of deaths that resulted was nearly ten times lower than at the previous peak – 428, compared to 4,027 in January last year. The number of new infections there is now dropping precipitously, down 25 per cent in the past seven days.
