20 countries apply to join BRICS

According to Sergey Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, there are currently about 20 countries applying for membership in the BRICS, and that number is only increasing.
"I can say that, in our view, the Arab world and the Asia-Pacific region have been clearly 'begging' to join BRICS, as they have no representation there today.
But we will see exactly what we can offer to the leaders regarding this, and leave this to the leaders to decide at the summit in Johannesburg," he concluded.

What Is Fiat Money?

Fiat money is a currency that is backed by nothing except the faith and credit of the government issuing it.
Basically every usable currency around the world today is a fiat currency.
The U.S. dollar has been fiat since 1971.
Fiat money is a currency that is declared money by decree-not by the marketplace.
Though some fiat currencies were once backed by commodities, they are now only backed by the legislative power of the government issuing them.

SpaceX launched another 49 Starlink satellites

It's been a busy January! No better way to start the New Year.
SpaceX launched another batch of 49 Starlink satellites to orbit aboard a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

In addition, this mission marked a quick turnaround for LC-39A, as Starlink Group 4-5 also launched from the same pad on January 6.
