The trees, and public coins, are something that all people need.
At this point, the story is ancient history. The August 2017 fork creating BCH and the following market action were basically the conclusion of what some people called "a debate in the community" as to how big bitcoin blocks should be. In the earliest days it was thought that the 1MB block limit was just...
Yeah sure, apart from the obvious fact that bitcoin doesn't contain animal protein, the statement doesn't immediately make a lot of sense. The V word is an adjective which describes food, bitcoin isn't food, therefore we have a non-starter. But wait. People sometimes use "Vegan" to describe other people, even when those other people aren't...
Suppose you have an average 1200 watt toaster. Using this for 10 minutes will use 0.2 kWh of energy, costing you around 2 USD cents or about 100 satoshi (assuming here an average electrical energy cost of 10 USD cents per kWh). Keep in mind however that you aren't alone. Lets say for the sake...

So today we are going to look back at a piece which appeared here naively predicting that artists and musicians would start publishing an address so people could send them money. What have we learned in the last...

It's that time again! There's been a halving of coinbase reward and some changes in price and tech, so lets take another look at the energy market and how it relates to bitcoin mining. We've done this 5 times before in this channel dating back to 2015. So, the latest S19 antminer advertises 30 J/TH...
Jia Yung Lee tells us in a blog post that: "Until the Crypto community takes feedback from “outsiders” seriously and make efforts to improve the onboarding process of new users, the Crypto community will continue to be an echo chamber." He's not wrong. And in the spirit of that piece comes a remarkable blog post...

by Igor Teper 11/20/00 Dr. Simon Tomlin studied the man sitting across the table from him. Rocking back and forth in his chair, with his shoulders slouching, his eyes darting all around the room, and his upper lip twitching every few seconds, the man conveyed a distinctly squirrel-like impression. It was hard to believe that,...
This tree is said to be 1,328 years old, way before the Spaniards discovered the Philippines in 1521 and named the country after King Phillip II of Spain. The tree can be found in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental, in the Philippines. This tree is also known as a "Balete" or "Banyan" tree. Scientifically speaking, "a...
