By Jemima Kelly<br><br>LONDON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Bitcoin and other "cryptocurrencies" are big money, virtually as big as Goldman Sachs and Royal Bank of Scotland combined.<br><br>The price of a single bitcoin hit an all-time high of above $3,500 this week, dragging up the value of hundreds of newer, smaller digital rivals in its wake.

Now some investors fear a giant crypto-bubble may be about to burst.<br><br>It has been a year of unprecedented growth for the largely unregulated market, with dozens of new currencies appearing every month in "Initial Coin Offerings" or ICOs. They have achieved value almost instantly, drawing in those who are eager to get in and make a quick buck.<br><br>At the start of 2017, the total value - or market cap - of all cryptocurrencies in existence was about $17.5 billion, with bitcoin making up almost 90 percent of that, according to industry data firm CoinMarketCap.<br><br>It is now around $120 billion - around the same value as Goldman and RBS together - and bitcoin makes up only 46 percent.<br><br>Bitcoin Cash, a clone of bitcoin that was split off from the original last week by a rival group of developers, was valued at more than $12 billion less than 24 hours after it had started trading.<br><br>"It's just created new value out of nowhere," said Rob Moffat, a partner at Balderton Capital, a London-based venture capital firm who focuses on fintech.

They argue the finite nature of these currency units - there will never be more than 21 million bitcoin, for example - as well as the technological innovation that underpins them will ensure their enduring value.<br><br>"The idea of this thing being a bubble is silly. We're in the bottom of the first innings," said Miguel Vias of Ripple, the third-biggest cryptocurrency, who was previously global head of precious metals and metal options at CME Group.<br><br>DASH TO ETHER<br><br>Whichever way cryptocurrencies move, they are likely to move together because their values are highly correlated, feeding off each other and magnifying the market effect.<br><br>That's partly down to investor sentiment, but also because the start-ups issuing new coins in ICOs generally collect money in a more liquid cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin or, more commonly, Ethereum's ether - the second-biggest cryptocurrency in total value.<br><br>That has driven demand for ether, which has climbed over 3,000 percent so far this year and now has a market cap of around $28 billion.<br><br>Bitcoin, which was launched in 2009, was the first successful cryptocurrency and is still easily the biggest, with a market cap of over $54 billion.<br><br>Its price has shot up around 225 percent so this year, and performed better than any conventional, central-bank issued currency in every year since 2010 bar 2014.<br><br>The blockchain-based currencies that have been built since bitcoin - 842, at last count - vary hugely in terms of their credibility.<br><br>Sceptics say bitcoin and its rivals are not particularly useful as currencies, as they are still volatile and not accepted by most merchants. They are mostly just used for speculative trading purposes.<br><br>There are some signs of acceptance of the biggest players by the establishment, however; Ethereum has been piloted by the United Nations as a way to distribute funds to Syrian refugees.

As their attractiveness is constantly on the skyrocket, so too does the amount of potential drones that you should choose from. Micro drones have become increasingly popular for their small size and low cost. Anyone can opt for one up & most will be reasonably proficient pilots after a few plane tickets. Let's start the outline in our top picks to discover the best little quadcopter and drones in 2016.

By law, your drone should always be visible for you and remain in your line of sight. Official suggestions state that you must keep your drone within 500m of your position and no higher than 400ft off the ground. Great to see an under $100 FPV Quadcopter. The JJRC has been one of the best value Micro Quadcopters you can buy and this fantastic little flyer is currently being released as an First Person View (FPV) Quadcopter. We hope to have the JJRC H6D FPV Quadcopter for review purposes and can publish an unbiased and detailed review as soon as we do. However, as soon as the drone is a certain distance apart from you, it is virtually impossible to share between your colors, which again poses the situation of orientation. Some manufacturers supply LEDs on drones which really help, but again these LEDs are very ineffective in daylight. If you want to do special techniques, stunts or fight, ensure you have sufficient programmable you on the ears and use the chips to do eeg etc.

The very next step is to find a Drone well suited for your requirements. It is better to start with basic models, just for the learning purpose. Furthermore, they are quite cheap drones (simply click the up coming article). The most common choice is the Cutting tool Nano QX designed for $80. Any drone being used for filming will be at the mercy of tight restrictions in regards to to the minimum distance you can travel near people or places not under your control. Permission will be required from the CAA before you perform this type of activity.

Best Mobile Quadcopter Simulator! Just needs VR fix and much more customizations. I love the VR method. However, the images displayed for each eyesight is off by 5mm (using default configurations). To fix this, I improved my cardboard viewer account to make the distance between lens to be 55mm to pay the 5mm extra distance. I believe rendered images are 5mm wider than normal. I am hoping you could revise the app to include this slight change or maybe you could add a option in adjustments to adjust lens distance in VR function. VR mode is absolutely awesome!

Many workplaces include security camera systems that see and even videotape and audiotape employees at work and on rest. That is true whether you work in a building or in a vehicle. Vehicles often include GPS monitoring systems that not only survey an employee's location and where they are, but also travelling habits and any traffic violations and prevents in addition to interior video cameras.

Motors are also heading to be changed sooner or later, but the life-span is likely to be primarily based on the quality of drone you purchase. Brushless motors are hardly ever found on the budget drones which means you are going to be sitting over a shorter life-span than if you went with an increased costed quadcoptor. It generally isn't that hard to find the replacing motors, however the skill necessary to install the new parts may be considered a hindrance if you aren't officially minded.
