From the diagram above, what is the area of the shaded parts?
We can take the squares roll by roll, starting from roll 1 (the topmost):
Roll 1: The total area of roll 1 is 4 unit sq. (1 sq. unit x 4), But the half of the area is not shaded so ¹⁄₂ x 4 sq, unit = 2 sq. unit And also the first square as the bottom half not shaded = ¹⁄₂ x 1 sq. unit = ¹⁄₂ sq. unit
So, shaded part of roll 1 is = 2 sq. unit - ¹⁄₂ sq. unit = 1¹⁄₂ sq. unit
Roll 2: We have a whole square and half of a square shaded = 1¹⁄₂ sq. unit
Roll 3: We have only half of a square shaded = ¹⁄₂ sq. unit
Total area shaded = 1¹⁄₂ +1¹⁄₂ + ¹⁄₂ = 3¹⁄₂ sq. unit

Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
Telegram Be The Next Best SPAC
I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
