A computer that is much bigger, larger, has specialized components, and is far more efficient than a general-purpose computer and can solve a larger range of complex problems.

A supercomputer is a computer that is more capable and efficient in handling operations than a general-purpose computer and can solve a larger range of complex problems. The main difference between this computer and the common non-super computers is operating scope and speed. The former operates at a much higher level, is capable of computing very complex problems, and does so at a ridiculously high speed.

Detecting payment fraud is one of the most common applications of supercomputers currently. The advantage these computers bring to the board is processing accuracy and speed. Furthermore, supercomputers use algorithms which work to precisely identify alluring opportunities for trading in the market—all the while processing massive volumes of trading data and simulating high-frequency trading.

A group of businesses and individuals responsible for the efficient production and distribution of products.

A supply chain refers to a group of businesses and individuals that are responsible for the efficient production and distribution of products to consumers. These chains can be likened to food chains, with the defining difference being that supply chains are built around businesses, covering everything from the processes required to find raw materials, to production, and even to the distribution of the finished products to consumers.

Supply chains are a common application of big data. As a result, they contribute to the development of effective and transparent businesses, and also boost the integrity of the delivery and exchange system.

An asset, commodity, or currency that maintains its value, and does not depreciate too much over time.

Store of value refers to an asset, commodity, or currency that does not depreciate or appreciate wildly but largely maintains its value over time. This is considered one of the fundamental characteristics of exchange symbols, such as money. Thus, precious stones like gold are considered good stores of value because their worth rarely decreases over time, even though they seldom increase.

Traders can sell their assets or commodities at a greater price soon if they possess assets or commodities with a good store of value. As a result, they can engage in long-term trading without the risk or fear of losing money.
