One thing to keep in mind is that cryptocurrency awards (as well as digital money acquired through mining) are, on average, more volatile than corporate stock dividends (but sometimes pay a higher yield). Cryptocurrency awards are taxed as conventional income as well.

Diablo Immortal for Android and iOS was announced at BlizzCon 2018. It takes the action role-playing franchise to smaller screens for the first time. Diablo Immortal is being developed by Blizzard in collaboration with NetEase, the studio behind PUBG clone Rules of Survival. In terms of series lore, it takes place between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. While Diablo Immortal is the series' mobile debut, Principal Design Chief Wyatt Cheng confirmed during a presentation for the game that it won't be coming to PC anytime soon. That said, it's unlikely that the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch would get the game either. Traditionally, NetEase has stayed away from PC and console development. No Diablo Immortal release date has been revealed just yet, though Blizzard claims it would be coming 'soon' with an upcoming beta test on the way. Gameplay for Diablo Immortal seems familiar to Arena of Valor with the use of virtual buttons. In terms of visuals it looks on par if n

If you're already a subscriber to World of Warcraft, you get it for free.

In World of Warcraft Classic you'll be able to roam areas like the Barrens before it was sundered in two, raid Molten Core with level 60 heroes complete with their original abilities and talents, and much more. There have been several third-party vanilla servers in the past that Blizzard has shut down and World of Warcraft Classic appears to be the c

Tesla   won’t be joining the  scooter wars . But electric bikes? Yeah, maybe. During a lengthy podcast with  Recode’s Kara Swisher , Tesla CEO Elon Musk talked about everything from AI and his fights on Twitter with journalists to Saudi Arabia and Mars. Even scooters. Of course, scooters. But don’t get your hopes up for a Tesla scooter. According to Musk, they lack dignity. Swisher’s persistence on the topic wasn’t enough to dissuade him. Here’s the exchange. You can listen to the entire  80-minute session here . Kara : Make a scooter. Make a scooter and I’ll go for it. They actually are electric, what am I talking about? Elon : I don’t know, there was some people in the studio who wanted to make a scooter, but I was like, “Uh, no.” Kara : I love the scooter, no, get on the scooter. Elon : It lacks dignity. Kara : No, it doesn’t lack dignity. Elon : Yes, they do. Kara : They don’t lack dignity, what are you talking about? Elon : Have you tried driving one of t

You probably don’t know how much it should cost to get your home’s windows washed, yard landscaped or countertops replaced. But  Setter does. The startup pairs you with a home improvement concierge familiar with all the vendors, prices and common screwups that plague these jobs. Setter finds the best contractors across handiwork, plumbing, electrical, carpentry and more. It researches options, negotiates a bulk rate and, with its added markup, you pay a competitive price with none of the hassle. One of the most reliable startup investing strategies is looking at where people spend a ton of money but hate the experience. That makes home improvement a prime target for disruption, and attracted a $10 million Series A round for Setter co-led by  Sequoia Capital   and NFX. “The main issue is that contractors and homeowners speak different languages,” Setter co-founder and CEO Guillaume Laliberté tells me, “which results in unclear scopes of work, frustrated homeowners who don’t know e
