    This isn't the first time we're seeing Bitcoin all over the news and it probably won't be the last time either. But Bitcoin is currently under the spotlight for trading well above $20,000, the highest it has ever been. That's right, Bitcoin is now more valuable than ever.
    A quick Google search would reveal that 1 unit of Bitcoin will cost you more than Rs 16 lakhs. And this number is changing every hour and it'll probably be a lot different tomorrow. Bitcoin's value has rapidly increased over the past two months.

    According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin was just $11,500 in the month of October. But at the time of writing this, you can buy one bitcoin for $22,265. And as we mentioned earlier, this number is rapidly changing every day, hitting new heights.

    This particularly reminds us about the bitcoin frenzy from 2017. At the time, Bitcoin nearly hit $20,000, but it crashed shortly after. So just because it has reached a new height this time doesn't mean it's going to keep climbing. It's highly possible that Bitcoin may fall flat on its face, significantly bringing down its value.

    And that probably explains why there isn't too much hype about Bitcoins this time around. Yes, a lot of people are still interested in securing their piece of the pie, but it doesn't match 2017's hype. Maybe people are just being more cautious this time and are leaning more towards other investment opportunities.

    In another episode of this β€˜happens only in India’, a couple decided to adopt a calf as their son after they were unable to conceive a child even after 15 years of their marriage.Β 

    The couple named the calf as β€˜Laltu baba’. Not only this, Vijaypal and Rajeshwari Devi also invited over 500 guests to the β€˜mundan’ or head-shaving ritual for their son β€˜Laltu Baba’.

    The couple took the calf to Laaltu Ghat which is situated on the banks of Gomti river and performed the ceremony. After the pooja, the priest also gave blessings to the calf and its parents. Not only this, but a feast was also held where people from across the village arrived with gifts.

    Vijaypal told TOI, β€œI always treated Laltu as my son. The calf has been attached to us since its birth. Laltu's love for us is true and unconditional.”
    β€œWe were surprised to see the 'mundan' invitation. A lot of people attended. We were all excited and happy for the couple and the calf,” said a local villager, Ratnesh Mishra.

    Vijaypal lost his parents and felt very lonely in his home in Shahjahanpur. All his sisters who were younger than him also got married. He said that he was very close to the cow (Laltu’s mother) who was brought to the home by his father. So, when the cow passed away they decided to adopt the calf as his child.

    Vijaypal also said, "When we can accept a cow as our mother then why not its calf as a son.”

    After teasing fans with a poster yesterday, Prime Video has now dropped the teaser of its new web series Tandav. Created and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Tandav, which is a 9-part series, is all set for a 2021 release. According to Prime Video, β€˜the series will take viewers inside the closed, chaotic corridors of power and uncover the manipulations, charades as well as the dark secrets of people who will go to any lengths in pursuit of power.’ 
    The teaser gives you an insight into how a Prime Minister is the king of the country and how Indian politics functions. The teaser does look promising and we have three reasons as to why we think it might be an exciting watch.
    1. Political CommentaryBe it Sarkar Raj or Rajneeti, Indian audiences have always lapped up stories around the political scenario in the country and Tandav also falls under the same umbrella. Talking about the theme of the show, Creator, Director, and Producer Ali Abbas Zafar said, β€œThrough Tandav, we take audiences into the power-hungry world of politics. As you watch the show, you’ll realize that there is no right or wrong, there is no black or white; the world of power is about the world of greys. I believe that content must be backed by credible performances and I am fortunate to have such heavyweights in the show. I’m excited that my debut as a creator-director in the digital domain is with Amazon Prime Video which will take this intriguing and gripping story of Tandav to millions across the world!”
    Here's the teaser:

    2. Ensemble Cast And Outstanding ActorsOne of the reasons why we think it might work with the audience is because of the ensemble cast which includes Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Sunil Grover, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Dino Morea, Kumud Mishra, Gauahar Khan, Amyra Dastur, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Kritika Kamra, Sarah Jane Dias, Sandhya Mridul, Annup Sonii, Hitten Ttejwani, Paresh Pahuja, and Shonali Nagrani among others. Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals, Prime Video said, β€œAs we usher in 2021, we are delighted to present our first political drama, Tandav, a lush exploration of the power that highlights how far people are willing to go in pursuit of power. With Ali Abbas Zafar steering the ship and an outstanding cast led by Saif, Dimple, Sunil and Zeeshan, who will be seen in truly unique avatars, we are confident that this series will resonate with everyone seeking content that is both entertaining and intriguing.”
    3. Saif Ali Khan: The Experimental ActorSaif has given us impressive performances in the recent past and he has no qualms in experimenting with his characters. From his terrific portrayal of Sartaj Singh in Sacred Games to playing the antagonist to Ajay Devgn’s hero in Om Raut’s historical Tanaji: The Unsung Warrior, Saif is not afraid to take up roles that many actors won’t consider experimenting with. We get a strong glimpse of him in the teaser and he surely is one of the main reasons why we are looking forward to this series.

    People have already approved of the show and are excited to watch it.

    Even though Johnny Depp has played more iconic roles than probably any other actor, the one that will always stand out is Captain Jack Sparrow.Β 

    Johnny Depp's portrayal of the legendary pirate is something he'll always be remembered by and that's why it's a shame that he won't be making a cameo in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
    Β© Disney
    Now, Disney is pursuing a reboot starring Margot Robbie instead.Β 

    A report released by The Hollywood Reporter said, "Disney had already backed away from a Pirates future with Depp well before the U.K. trial, even if it never formally severed ties. Bruckheimer, who has been one of Depp's biggest champions and once suggested the finger injury happened because "he got it caught in a car door," was hoping to at least bring the Captain Jack Sparrow character back briefly in the next outing β€” said to be a female-centric incarnation fronted by Margot Robbie. Disney balked."

    A horror game called Devotion was set to release on CD Projekt Red’s digital storefront GOG. However, the plan had to be cancelled due to Chinese censorship. In fear of facing retribution from the Chinese government, GOG cancelled its plans to host the game on its storefront as the game had some controversial content.Β 
    Β© Reuters
    Players in the game found content that referred to Xi Jinping, the president of China, as a β€œWinnie-the-Pooh moron.” It’s no news that the Chinese president and the CCP are quite sensitive to the cartoon bear as any images of the bear have been banned on Chinese social media. β€˜Winnie the pooh’ has been used as a comparison by memers which has been notoriously referenced by other personalities such as John Oliver and recent movies like β€˜Christopher Robin’.

    Earlier today, it was announced that the game Devotion is coming to GOG. After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.
    β€” GOG.COM (@GOGcom) December 16, 2020
    The game has been produced by Taiwanese developer Red Candle Games who have been at the centre of censorship controversy ever since the game was released. This is not the first time the Chinese Government has flexed its blanket power to dictate censorship in games, movies and other forms of popular media. PUBG Mobile, the popular battle-royale game made by the Chinese company Tencent Games was also found censoring what people could say in the game as well.Β 
    Β© Share America
    Apps like TikTok have also blocked accounts of users in the past who have previously made content that talks about China’s controversial β€œdetention camps.”

    Last year, Activision Blizzard banned a Hong Kong-based player from a professional tournament known as β€œBlitzchung” for his statement during a post-match interview, β€œLiberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time.” Tencent Holdings was the real reason behind Ng being stripped of his winnings and being banned from competing as the company owns 10% of Activision Blizzard.
    In the case of β€˜Devotion’, it seems like GOG and other platforms do not want to sell the game to avoid backlash from the Chinese government. Both storefronts operate in China and in order to appease the Chinese government and maintain their presence in a major market, companies often avoid taking risks with controversial games. The simplest solution to this problem is not selling the game in the Chinese region, however GOG chose to remove it from the worldwide store altogether. Here’s how the world reacted to GOG’s decision to give in to Chinese censorship:
    *After receiving threats from the Chinese Communist Party, we have decided not to list the game in our store.

    Fixed that for you. https://t.co/Bw7cFfOcfw

    Gamer friendly my a$$ https://t.co/w5r82rL75l
    β€” w πŸ¦‹οΈ (@whk8964) December 16, 2020Everyone who complains about censorship in games needs to be taking a long, hard look at this situation. A Taiwanese company can't publish their game on any major platform because of one obtuse (long-removed) reference to China's president

    THIS is what real censorship looks like https://t.co/AldEYfVzNP
    β€” Jon Riesenbach P5 Scramble (@moriyoshijon) December 16, 2020Good job GOG, good job. Now kneel before your master. https://t.co/W6oHUf2NYB pic.twitter.com/OriRPIzjnZ
    β€” Frize (like limited) (@Frize001) December 16, 2020This is ridiculous. @redcandlegames deserves better than this. If you have any love for freedom of expression or for games in general PLEASE scream for them to release it anyway. https://t.co/8FJieuSZ7w

    The video now has over 10.5k views and around 1.5K likes on Twitter. In the video, you can see Narendra Modi passing by a stall and a volunteer offers a mask to him but he refuses to wear one.

    Abhishek Bachchan is one actor in the industry who never shies away from speaking his mind out loud.Β 

    The Guru star is quite famous for handling trolls and criticism on Twitter like a boss, while maintaining class and poise.
    Recently, Abhishek posted a Tweet objecting film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi’s jibe at other actors while complimenting Akshay Kumar for his quick turnaround time when it comes to shoots.Β 
    Abhishek replied saying that different people have a different pace, and it is "unfair" to pull them down.Β
