No end in sight for global chip shortage

global chip shortage

There seems to be no end in sight for the global chip shortage as wait times extend to as much as 20 weeks significantly delaying critical industries.

New research has found that the time between ordering a chip and receiving one has extended by more than 8 days when compared to last month the longest wait time since data began being tracked in 2017.

These delays are having a significant impact on many critical industries, including car manufacturers, industrial equipment and home electronics producers.

But it is the motor vehicle industry that is feeling the greatest pinch – which is expected to lose $100 billion in sales due to the inability to make cars.

Other tech giants like Apple, Microsoft and Samsung are also unable to keep up with consumer demand for their products.

It comes as the Biden administration moves to secure on-shore chip manufacturing plants in a bid to end this worldwide shortage.

Is Bitcoin’s rally here to stay or just another bubble?

Published

on

A combination of institutional interest, economic uncertainty, growing acceptance, and technological progress is driving Bitcoin’s surge.

 
Many factors contribute to Bitcoin’s upward momentum. First and foremost, increasing institutional adoption plays a pivotal role. Major companies and financial institutions are showing growing interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, pouring significant investments into it. This legitimizes the cryptocurrency in the eyes of traditional investors.

Additionally, global economic uncertainty and inflation concerns are pushing individuals to seek alternative investments. Bitcoin, with its limited supply and decentralized nature, is emerging as a store of value and a hedge against economic turbulence.

Moreover, growing mainstream acceptance and awareness are fueling demand. More merchants are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, making it increasingly accessible to consumers.

Furthermore, technological advancements, such as the Lightning Network, are improving Bitcoin’s scalability and usability, enhancing its attractiveness as a digital currency. #featured #bitcoin
