ITEX — First Trading Community To Accept Bitcoin
The ITEX Corporation (www.itex.com),
a leading marketplace for cashless business transactions in
North America, has declared it now accepts Bitcoin as a
payment option for its more than 20,000 member businesses.
Bitcoin is the world's largest circulated encrypted digital
currency and ITEX is the largest trading community in the
USA and Canada. The Bitcoin peer-to-peer network is made up
of thousands of computers run by individuals around the
world and doesn't have a central clearinghouse or answer to
a singular authority. The finite supply of Bitcoins will
grow at a mathematically determined rate of expansion from
its current 12.5 million units to a maximum of 21 million
units.
The ITEX dollar is a virtual currency used as a method of
payment within the ITEX marketplace and trading community.
In contrast to Bitcoin, ITEX utilizes a centralized system
where it determines the amount of currency in circulation,
based on numerous factors, including the needs of its member
merchants. ITEX seeks to provide a platform for peer-to-peer
and centralized virtual currency models to co-exist and
complement each other.
"We
are excited about the momentum the nascent virtual currency
industry is experiencing and anticipate greater support for
our virtual currency, the ITEX dollar, as time progresses,"
stated Steven White, Chairman and CEO.
"ITEX contracted with Coinbase of San Francisco, the largest
platform of merchants and consumers accepting Bitcoin, to
create our e-wallet service, process payments and convert
Bitcoin into U.S. dollars. We invite the millions of Bitcoin
enthusiasts to participate in our trading community," White
concluded.

Relaxation Essential To Productivity
Although as entrepreneurs we are driven to succeed, we need to
realize that taking time to relax isn't a gift just for
ourselves — it's a necessary and indispensable part of
performing at our peak. And it helps to keep us sane.
If you want to accomplish true success, you must take your
well-being seriously; realizing it's easy to grow accustomed to
an increased level of stress. To avoid getting burned out, don't
just make relaxation an item on your to-do list, but learn to
rejuvenate yourself creatively by:
-
Taking a break
? even
if just for a minute. Relaxation can take any length
of time and whatever form you find appealing. Simply tensing
your muscles and allowing them to relax is an effective way
to decompress.
This can be done by finding a quiet
place to lie down. Uncross your legs and rest your palms on
your stomach. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Tense
every muscle from the top of your head to your toes for a
second or two. Then relax and clear your mind for a moment
by picturing a serene landscape.
-
Making relaxation part
of your routine. Take 15-minutes each day to reflect
and have downtime. Achieve clarity by recognizing your
successes, letting go of your stress, and deciding on the
best step for you to take next.
-
Turning your
frustration into inspiration. When obstacles cross
your path, it's much easier to get riled up than it is to
calm down. Instead of becoming aggravated about occurrences
out of your control, relax and try to spot opportunities.
Ask yourself, "How can this situation fuel my success?"? You
will be amazed at the possibilities you discover.
-
Saying no to less
important things. You are in control of your to-do
list, and therefore determine what the priorities are. Being
able to say no to the less important items is a big part of
your overall success, and people will respect your honesty.
Remember, pay attention to any physical or emotional symptoms
that arise in response to stress. Then recognize that it's OK to
relax, slack off, or get more sleep. Success comes from
attaining your goals — and relaxation has to be one of
them.
