The most famous American business magazine Forbes included the Karatbars group around Dr. h.c. Harald Seiz into its recent rate of the “10 Blockchain Companies To Watch In 2019”. – Stuttgart, June 06, 2019. Written by Joresa Bount, the article tells about “the technologies, founders, and companies that are emerging in the industry (…) The teams of these innovative blockchain startups are global, cutting-edge, and typically include early blockchain adopters as founders.”

The abovementioned list includes 10 companies aimed at making the blockchain “more accessible, prominent and mainstream. (…) Each offers something unique with the potential to disrupt traditional industries as well as gain support from legitimate entities,” she says.

Actually, it says about the company: “Based in Germany, Karatbars International GmbH is the developer of KaratGold Coin and a robust gold-linked ecosystem of cross-border blockchain solutions. Their latest product, the IMpulse K1 Smartphone, is the first phone using Voice Over Blockchain Protocol (VOPB). Currently, KaratGold allows consumers to trade or purchase gold on more than 500,000 acceptance points. With all of the recent talk about Bitcoin versus gold, this company provides the best of both worlds.”

Karatbars CEO and Founder Dr. h.c. Harald Seiz states: “The Forbes contribution and inclusion in such a list is a great honor for us. The article shows the full diversity of the blockchain universe – and we are proud to be listed in this series due to our two crypto-currency innovations, including a link to gold, and the blockchain smartphone IMpulse K1.”

“Cryptocurrencies and blockchain are on everyone’s lips. But cryptocurrencies are not only relevant as an investment object, the underlying blockchain can revolutionize all our workflows and business processes – even outside of finance. That’s what we and the other nine companies exposed by Forbes are working on every day,” he continues.

“In order to strengthen our marketing activities in this area, we have now entered into a cooperation with the most well-known crypto-influencer John McAfee. Hardly anyone else covers the market as well – and critically – as he does and so we are pleased about the collaboration on our cryptocurrency KaratGold Coin (KBC),” says Seiz.  In his recent post on Twitter, McAfee shared: “Warning: I work with this company. However, KBC coin is linked to gold in a way that downside is limited, while the upside is unlimited. (…) For me, it is simply a way to protect against the crypto markets’ volatility. I only work for companies I believe in.”

We have all gotten behind that kind of driver who is swerving or going too slow to find out their eyes are trained on their cell phone or their food instead of the road. It is a pretty scary situation to be part of and thousands of people are killed due to distracted driving each year. Here are a few ideas that can keep you from being distracted and get you to your destination safely.

Turn Off Your Device

While temporary rumble strips on the streets would solve quite a few problems, turning your cell phone off can keep your eyes focused on your driving far better. If you need your phone for directions or you stream music from it, you can put it on the Bluetooth connection in your car or get a windshield mount and put the volume up so you can see it. Although it can still distract you, it keeps your gaze mostly ahead instead of in your lap.

Wait Until You Get Home

Those fries you just got through the drive thru smell delicious but try to refrain from eating until you get home. You can lose your concentration on what you are doing trying to prepare your food for consumption. In addition, if you are holding your food, you have one less hand to hold the steering wheel and operate the other controls. Trying to bobble all these could cause an accident. So keep two hands on the wheel and dinner in the bag.

Ignore the Comments

Even something as simple as talking to another passenger can distract your driving. If you are forced to divert your attention to someone else instead of the road, you could get in an accident. This can include children who are acting out. If you need to turn your focus to someone else or discipline a child, it would be best to pull over them give them your undivided attention.

Keep Your Hands To Yourself

Modern cars have so many perks it can be exciting to use them all. However, doing things such as change a compact disk can be a distraction. Also, doing things unrelated to driving such as applying makeup or brushing your hair can tear your attention away worse that playing with the gadgets in your car. You need to start your music or GPS before you drive and wait until your destination do start the others.
