Vilonia, Arkansas. Population: roughly 4,500. It's a blip on the map for most, another small town trying to hold onto its identity in a rapidly changing world. What transpired in Vilonia is far from a small deal. They did just beat the crypto mining juggernaut – twice – and save...
You know that rosy scenario marketeers laid out for Bitcoin mining going green, running off sunshine and rainbows? Yeah, well, reality check: it's more like a scene from Mad Max, only with server farms instead of war rigs. We were promised a digital utopia, but what we're getting is environmental...
We're told Bitcoin is the future. Decentralized currency, freedom from government control, the new internet technology. What do you do when that future comes rolling into your backyard blaring like a 747 stuck on the tarmac? For many people throughout the United States, this is no longer a hypothetical situation....
New analysis finds that Bitcoin mining operations in the United States are significant sources of air pollution. Perversely, that has led to about 1.9 million Americans losing protections from exposure to hazardous pollution levels each year. Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers spearheaded this initiative. Their report focuses...
Bitcoin, the first and most prominent cryptocurrency, has changed the way we think about money. It provides a decentralized, secure method of transacting that is second to none. Behind the digital glitz lies a dirty secret: the significant health costs associated with Bitcoin mining. Jason will break down the surprising...
Put away the glitz and the glamour and the yellow Lamborghinis. Make no mistake, Bitcoin’s dark side is destroying our communities, and you’re the one footing the bill. We’re sold on the idea that it’s the future of finance, some kind of decentralized paradise. What if that future instead is...
Bitcoin. Digital gold. Decentralized finance. This is the same mantra we’ve been told for decades. What if the shiny, glitzy promise of crypto has a much smokier underbelly? That reality is likely doing permanent damage by polluting our air and shortening our lives. It’s past time to address the unintended...
The foundational Bitcoin narrative has always been one of decentralization, a digital revolt against concentrated power. If we can be frank, the truth has been a bit murkier. Miner’s greed drives this boom, targeting regions with the lowest energy costs and the least regulatory oversight. Yet these practices have frequently...
Ethereum seems to be going through a major influx of interest and investment, resulting in a breakout price movement. There are at least five interconnected reasons for this rally. Substantial institutional inflows, Robinhood’s recent foray into Layer 2 solutions, and shifting supply dynamics are all major factors. This article breaks...
Okay, let's be real. You've probably heard the buzz: Ethereum's on the rise. This isn't just another pump-and-dump story. We’re not just talking about a change, we’re talking about a large fundamental shift, a tectonic plate movement in the financial landscape. Put aside all the fancy charts and graphs for...
Okay, let's talk crypto. You've seen the headlines: Solana ETF launched, but...crickets? The hard underperformance in relation to Ethereum is raising a lot of eyebrows. Truthfully, it ought to enrage you. Is the SEC slightly, or perhaps less so, shading Solana, while golden-childing Ethereum? It sure feels that way.SEC's Stance:...
Robinhood’s taking a similar plunge into Ethereum—with their own Ethereum Layer-2 network. Institutional investors are pouring billions into ETH. Almost a third of all Ether is currently locked, creating a potential supply squeeze as we described here. So it’s all rosy futures and unicorns for the Boomer generation, yeah? Maybe....
We're told staking is the future. A future of trustless banking, enhanced privacy, and generating crypto yield. How do we know this utopian dream isn’t just a very well masked desert mirage twinkling in the distance? I think it's time we acknowledge the elephant in the digital room: staking, as...
Okay, let's be real. Almost everyone assumed Solana would moon after the ETF launch. I mean, a Solana ETF! It makes this clunking sound, like a rocket ship poised for lift-off. Thus far, the story the numbers are telling is the exact opposite. Ethereum is still king. Why? Here’s my...
Cryptocurrency staking is undergoing a historic sea change. New approaches like Distributed Validation Technology (DVT) and Rainbow Staking are paving the path forward. These innovations are more than just incremental progress. They represent an important step toward a more decentralized, accessible, and resilient staking ecosystem. This article looks in depth...
Forget boring bank accounts! Staking crypto is on the verge of blowing up and you’ll want to be in place to win big when it does. Think of it like this: your crypto is throwing a party, and you get paid to attend. It’s no longer enough to simply HODL—the...
