This was the danger of the modern era, since the financial system makes people who have money can reproduce. with this system makes the poor could take opportunities, they will be forever poor.
I don’t agree with the poor people will be forever poor because poor people never make investments in their life if they make investments and getting pasive income sometime they will be rich people it is about the mindset of poor people how money work, they don’t know about that so they always be poor and it is not about system modern era.
Me too ,we differs in mindset , no such thing or event will be a barrier for a poor people aiming and working to be rich .To be rich is not destined because it will only attained if we are wise working for it .That’s why more poor people are taking risk of investments ,gambling and even HYiPs trying their luck just to be rich even they loss and being scammed . If we have in a right mindset in taking investments and be a wise man who puts money in a legit way ,we can make money from money. All of us deserve to earn but not all have the action and right mindset .

In a desperate bid for financial resources, North Korea and Kim Jong-un are unleashing hackers against bitcoin exchanges.
The continuing rise in bitcoin value has had a lot of positive effects. People have made a lot of money on the cryptocurrency’s rise, and the accompanying headlines have brought more people into the crypto world. However, there is a downside to bitcoin skyrocketing in value, which is having unsavory characters trying to get their hands on it through illegal means. One of the more notable black hats in this regard is Kim Jong-un and North Korea, who security experts say are due to the digital currency’s increased demand.
North Korea used to focus their cyber espionage on traditional state activities. That all began to change in 2016, when the cyber security company began to note that North Korea began to target banks and the global financial system. 2017 has seen several attacks against , and this activity has since spread to banking groups in Europe and South Korea, bitcoin exchanges, and even an ATM company.
Independent security expert Ashley Shen notes:
We assume one of the reasons why bitcoin is being attacked is because the price keeps increasing and we think it’s reasonable for hackers (to target). Digital currency might be easier to gain than physical currency. So I think it’s reasonable.
Security experts have followed attacks by various hacking groups, such as Andariel, Lazarus, and Bluenoroff, and these groups are suspected to be front groups for North Korea.
Shen adds:
Before when we tracked nation-state attackers, they usually perform cyber attacks which are aimed at confidential data and intelligence. However recently we’ve discovered that some of the APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) groups are trying to hack financial institutions like banks and bitcoin exchanges to gain financial profit.
North Korea Needs Money
While North Korea always seems to be up to some mischief, these ongoing attacks against bitcoin exchanges is likely a sign of desperation. The country has been isolated due to crippling sanctions, and those were recently further enhanced by the Trump administration.
In late November, the US government targeted 13 companies, 20 vessels, and 1 individual for engaging in trade with North Korea, At that time, US Treasure Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated:
As North Korea continues to threaten international peace and security, we are steadfast in our determination to maximize economic pressure to isolate it from outside sources of trade and revenue while exposing its evasive tactics.
Overall, the already meager North Korean economy has been crippled by economic sanctions. So it comes as no surprise that they wish to hack into bitcoin exchanges in an effort to steal bitcoins as the cryptocurrency surges in value. Ashley Shen believes that such attacks are not going away any time soon, saying:
My own opinion is they will probably keep doing the Bitcoins because the price keeps increasing and it’s a good investment… So I assume they will do more bitcoin attacks and of course they will keep targeting banks because that’s what they did before.
