imminent glory commodity prices will wring anything from coal into coal push should be levy will reach about inflation. well inflation has really emerged as the major theme for investors this year and we are seeing prices go up there's no doubt about that really across the world part of this is just the fact that economies are starting to reopen that we're starting to see demand pick up again and this is boosting really every major commodity in the world that is going to filter through to higher prices for basically everything the question for markets and for investors is how central banks are going to look at this right now markets are really being driven by very accommodative very easy monetary policy from central bankers if they believe that these inflation risks are high they could potentially pull back them about stimulus and that would be bad news for stock investors something to keep an eye to do they need from. thank you.

elon musk crew has tweeted repeatedly about it so is the line between opportunity and joke when it comes to the crypto boom let's ask someone who should know about that jeff gallus german bitcoin foundation founder and c.e.o. and co-founder of the bill and start up a full mo who's joining us now good to have you with us what you may go for a dollar coin would you invest in it. well it's it's crew kindergarten i would say like those corners was created for by people to have some fun and also to illustrate how the frequencies work so i think it's a good thing to maybe start out and have the mindset of this is just something amusing to educate myself like how that would put the currency's work not take it to serious and i guess that's what everybody does right now in a way i mean you must is having some fun the ticker vessels are having some fun.

but just pushing this and kind of taking it to the moon and space like little space x. just announced they're going to fund a set of like a single car and once you have some of those kind of hand things like you understand the underlying principles of progress and see and you kind kind of take the next step and go to something more serious so what we're seeing is all sorts and but but but when does he get serious when just trip to currency stop being a joke why does he get serious oh it gets serious 10 years ago when the problems created. it was just there was going to sort of as a as a lower entry point because it's kind of obvious it's a fun project and people made it as a fun project. was for the life of people to take it i would be cautious of on anything but bit coy about it doesn't work the same way and.

i think it's just to illustrate a point like at least from. people who created it or who fought of had a couple of nobody ever expected this to go that far. nobody's really taking it seriously it's those kinds of debt let me let me ask you one question brief answer please i mean where does it leave the real economy i don't know many people who actually invest or pay with bitcoin or other crypto currencies. because global currency medium of exchange and store well already it's a huge industry and it's used for international money transfers her story of well. hundreds of thousands of her millions of people already work and industry and using it on daily basis not only western countries but as they're free in developing countries all right jeff gallus of the german bitcoin foundation a founded c.e.o. and co-founder of the bill instead of full oh thank you so much for sharing your

insights with us thank you for. the travel industry's hopes for a post pandemic recovery have been hit by many fold staats beset by new restrictions virus very doubt breaks on the sluggish european vaccine rollout well german fly carry a lot of times only expects to fly about 40 percent of its prepared to make capacity in 2021 but it's raised its number of holiday destinations to over 100 banking on surging demand us vaccination campaigns reach a large number of people. yeah nath. look here it's stamp there's most around of it there's already water under there that means that everything has to be cleaned federally and dried this is all because we've shut the planes down for too long. an airline grounded town says parked more than $100.00 aircraft around the world and even here the machines cost money and have to be checked serviced and moved regularly now that more and more people are being vaccinated and
