Loss aversion is a cognitive bias where the pain of a loss is felt more strongly than the pleasure of an equivalent gain. This means people are more motivated to avoid losses than they are to acquire gains. For example, the pain of losing $100 is often felt more intensely than the pleasure of gaining $100.
Pain vs. Pleasure: The pain of losing something is often felt more intensely than the pleasure of gaining the same thing.
Impact on Decisions: Loss aversion can influence decisions, especially in situations involving risk or uncertainty, leading people to be more risk-averse when faced with potential losses.
Prospect Theory: Loss aversion is a key component of prospect theory, developed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, which explains how people make choices under risk.

Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
