Newslink: Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead

Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead image credit Zimbabwe has begun printing bond notes, allegedly pegged to the US dollar, as a means to curb inflation, as other countries turn to Bitcoin. In a resurrection of the African country’s currency not seen in seven years, the central bank is attempting to restart a Zimbabwean national currency, while simultaneously preserving its value from inflation. The new bond notes are pegged to the U.S. dollar, allegedly backed by a $200 million bond facility with Afreximbank, as a safeguard against rapidly losing its value to hyperinflation, as was the case with the nation’s last currency.

Here I listed some of them — 1. Pterodactyl The Pterodactyls had a couple of very wide wings up to 40 feet long. But, these wings are not similar to modern bird’s wings. There were no feathers , their wings were made of a leathery substance. They lived near the sea in the cave & trees. They ate sea fish, large insects & other small dinosaurs.
