Our staff work across the globe, and we are proud to anchor our company in Bloomington, Indiana. One way we show our pride is with our support of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The Buskirk-Chumley Theater is a performing arts center in downtown Bloomington that hosts a variety of events including live music, theater, film and other public events and festivals. We are excited to be a part of the theater's mission to provide diverse arts and entertainment to the community. If you are a local or are visiting Bloomington please plan to attend another performance or show there soon!

One of the biggest selling points with Cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies is security. Having a decentralized structure creates resistance to attack and fraud. Part of this security is because of Transaction hashing, which is a long string of letters and numbers generated when a transaction is initiated, which is difficult to hack.

However, quantum computing may catch up with blockchain technologies. Google recently announced Willow, which is a quantum chip which works faster and with fewer errors. In theory, the combination of this speed and accuracy may allow hackers to break the code on cryptocurrency transactions and introduce fraud into the system. This won't happen overnight though as Willow is 10 or more years away from practical use for breaking cryptographic transactions.

Future Wonder has both Security and Blockchain products and we will be working to understand how the two are related to serve your blockchain needs better!

The value of cryptocurrency is on the rise. For example, Bitcoin recently topped $100,000 for the first time and remains there as of posting this article. (Click here for the current value) The rise is largely due in part to the upcoming incoming administration seeming to have positive views on cryptocurrency. According to Forbes there are predictions that the new administration will create a bitcoin reserve in 2025. Bitcoin was under $70,000 prior to the election.

Future Wonder has been an early adopter of cryptocurrency and we even accept payments in the stablecoins USDP (Pax Dollar) and USDT (Tether). We also offer blockchain services which can help your business with any cryptocurrency needs.

It has been 25 years since the biggest computer bug happened. Or was supposed to happen. The concern related to how computers handled dates, specifically, years. Some machines only used the last two numbers of the year, such as "62" for 1962. So, when the clock changed to the year 2000, how would some computers handle the date change? Would the computer think it was 1900 and what cascading effects would take place from there?

Could the power grid fail? Could national security systems fail? How long would it take to recover?

Thankfully, our worst fears were not realized, not even close to them. While there were a few minor glitches, nothing major was noted. This was in part due to major mitigation efforts by large numbers of IT professionals who tested for the event and created system patches to prepare for it.

Today, Y2K stands as an example of how preparedness and cooperation can help avoid already foreseen issues.

All of us at Future Wonder would like to wish you and yours happy holidays and a happy new year as well! We hope 2024 has been good to you and we are sending best wishes for a great 2025.
