Was Shakespeare the best writer of his generation? Of all time?
I believe Shakespeare was the greatest writer of his age.
We must examine what transpired in his own time in order to see why this is the case.
The Tudors' ascent to power in 1558 was the largest shift in English literature during Shakespeare's lifetime. They were descendants of Henry VII, who had become king on the battlefield in 1485 after defeating Richard III at Bosworth Field.
Arthur and Henry VIII were the two sons of Henry VII. Both the first and Prince Henry, who would have been King Henry VIII, died young. However, the second son survived and grew up to become King Edward VI, also known as Edward V because he lived with his uncle, King Henry VIII, while he was a little boy. The roles had now been reversed: Henry VIII, who had overthrown Richard III and become king, would now be replaced as king by a descendant of Edward VI.
Shakespeare therefore wrote comedies like Twelfth Night or As You Like It (which feature powerless kings) about events that had occurred almost four hundred years earlier while writing history plays like Richard III or King Lear (which feature powerful kings) about events that had occurred only three generations earlier.
Kuwaiti lawmakers have approved a new law banning cryptocurrency payments, and imposing heavy penalties on those who use it.
The SEC has already been working hard to find ways to regulate the XRP ecosystem. They have planned a rating system for cryptocurrencies and exchanges, as well as working groups that will be formed to implement their decisions.

Kuwait's parliament passed a law last week banning the use of cryptocurrencies and imposing heavy fines on those who use them.
The SEC has been working hard to find ways to regulate the XRP ecosystem. And, they finally found a solution. They want to regulate XRP by having exchanges agree on how much they can withdraw. But there is a problem - Ripple, the company that created XRP and owns nearly all of its tokens, is unwilling to do so. In fact, Ripple wants nothing less than the total abolition of any type of controls on the market.
