Malikie Innovations, patent trolls extraordinaire, are back at it again, this time setting their sights on Bitcoin. Core Scientific and Marathon Digital are their first targets. Honestly, let’s not kid ourselves – this attack was on all of us. Specifically, they’re accusing Bitcoin’s use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) of...
I think back to visiting my cousin Linh’s little coffee shop in Hanoi a few years ago. She was struggling, barely making ends meet. Then she started accepting Bitcoin. Now, all of a sudden, she had customers from all around the world, and without the exorbitant transaction fees that were...
Okay, let's be honest. But as a practical matter it feels like the SEC is moving at the speed of dial-up internet in a 5G world. They've delayed the decision on Franklin Templeton's Ethereum ETF, specifically the staking part, and it's got me wondering: are they protecting investors, or just...
Let’s face it, the Bitcoin mining space is becoming saturated. And now everyone and their grandmother apparently are opening offices in pursuit of those delicious sweet, sweet satoshis. So, when a small-cap agriculture and tech firm like AgriFORCE (AGRI) announces they're diving into the flared gas bitcoin mining business, the...
Senator Bill Hagerty is championing a very ambitious plan. He wants to make Tennessee the global capital for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI). He intends to use the state’s plentiful resources to his advantage, particularly its thriving nuclear industry. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) must be a leader in...
Is ETH merely a fancy gas token at this point in time? That’s the million dollar question that’s been eating away at me and frankly should be keeping you up at night too. We've all been there, haven't we? Watching the cool kid (Ethereum) at the party struggle to keep...
WeQare develops an inclusive Layer 1 blockchain protocol, Quranium. Among other things, it addresses the big, growing, and dangerous threat that quantum computers present to today’s public key cryptography systems. In early 2024, Kapil Dhiman, Zeeshan, and Yaduvendra officially co-founded the company Quranium. Their mission is to future-proof the digital...
Yet, Nebraska’s LB526 — now law — was billed as protecting our electrical grid. Governor Pillen talks about “responsibility” and “guardrails.” Is it really that simple? Are we creating the conditions for strangling a nascent industry in the crib? In fact, it hasn’t even had a chance to fully flower...
This is more than just another bill, this is about Nebraska planting its flag in the future. Put aside the fear and uncertainty and doubt you may read online about crypto regulation. LB526 isn’t against innovation, it’s for smart innovation. And it’s about creating a blockchain ecosystem that serves all...
France is set to take an even bolder step. Put aside the old tropes of Bitcoin as an energy glutton. French legislators recently tabled a proposal for a thorough analysis of how Bitcoin mining can best serve to improve their national energy grid. I'm not talking small tweaks, folks. This...
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...
