The algorithm that wins without knowing the rules
Preface
MuZero is a reinforcement learning algorithm developed by Google DeepMind. It is the successor of the famous AlphaZero algorithm and it’s performance is nothing short of superhuman. The algorithm is able to achieve better performance than all the other reinforcement learning algorithms developed by Google and doing so, without knowing the rules of the game! In the original 2019 paper released by DeepMind, the algorithm showed to have beaten humans and AlphaZero with a sizeable margin in chess, shogi, go and several atari games. …

I have found that most people obsess over the price of a cryptocurrency. While price is a good indicator of whether or not a project is undervalued or overvalued it is not the only indicator.

This year cryptocurrencies have become a hot topic of discussion for a lot of people, no matter the age. This guide is for anyone and everyone who feels like they need a little bit more understanding and knowledge of the crypto world. I’m not going to be diving deep into the technicals but instead I will provide a high-level view which you can use to do own research on whichever area you are drawn to.
The crypto space is ever-changing and is inarguably one of the most innovative inventions in this century. Firstly, I want to explain the term cryptocurrency.
