Samson Mow Lists 3 Ways to Greener Bitcoin, Including Learning Code

Crypto industry leader Samson Mow recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on how traditional activism methods will not work for Bitcoin. According to Mow, Bitcoin‘s decentralized nature means that it cannot be lobbied or influenced in the same way as centralized systems. Mow explains that the Proof of Work system means that any meaningful change in Bitcoin requires real work and that activists must invest time and money into making a difference. Mow suggests that learning to code, understanding the code, and proposing changes on mailing lists are viable ways to create change in Bitcoin.  Traditional activism doesn’t work on #Bitcoin. Proof of Work means if you want to affect Bitcoin in any meaningful way, you have to do some real work. Not advertising, not holding up signs on the street, and not commissioning artwork. — Samson Mow (@Excellion) March 26, 2023 Furthermore, Mow recommended investing in research and development of efficient ASICs, invest...

Polygon is Launching its zkEVM: Price Action to Follow?

Image
Polygon (MATIC) will finally launch its much-awaited zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) today. The launch aims to increase scalability while ensuring compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Many consider zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to be a significant advancement for blockchains and cryptography. It aims to lower transaction costs while speeding them up at the same time. ZkEVMs are a subset of zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups, a scaling technique that expedites layer -2 transactions. ZK rollups use “proofs” that only share a small portion of the transaction’s details to demonstrate that the transaction was not false. zkEVM aims to be a significant upgrade over Polygon ( MATIC ). Meanwhile, Polygon itself aims to be a significant improvement over Ethereum as a whole. The approval time for transactions using the zkEVM protocol is less than two minutes for a batch of 10M gas. The details were shared by Web3.0 instructor Bickersteth Emmanuel. Key ...

Coinbase and the SEC

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage It’s been a rough last two years for Coinbase. After opening up to a price of $381 on the initial IPO in April 2021 near the peak of the crypto market bull market, the stock has corrected as much as 90%. The Bitcoin winter, coupled with a host of negative news, along with an initially over-inflated price, have contributed to this decline.

Most likely in connection with this, Coinbase announced it would discontinue the Algorand (ALGO) staking rewards program for its users.

How can a decentralized talent pool solve one of the biggest problems of Web3?

Image
As the internet advances, so too does the model for hiring the talent building it. Web3 represents a paradigm shift in how the world transacts, works and collaborates. In a decentralized , trustless network, individuals own their data and contribute to an equitable digital economy. Although promising in concept, perhaps the most exciting part about this space is the fact that the majority of it is yet to be defined. Therefore, the individuals building the Web3 environment truly hold the power to shape the future. Unfortunately, while Web3 startups are opening the door to new jobs and talented individuals have the skills to bring these roadmaps to fruition, the hiring and selection process is riddled with challenges. For companies, the talent pool of hires with the right experience and desired skill sets exists only across several close-knit communities. Therefore, recruiters who don’t have access to these communities often have difficulty filling the gaps. What’s more, almost a quarte...

Here's Why XRP Ledger Might Enter a New Paradigmn

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). XRPL has offered fast and efficient cross-border payments for over a decade. Although the project has found itself in the crosshairs with the SEC, the token is still immensely popular among crypto enthusiasts and users. Bitcoin’s (BTC) Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus model, according to the creators of the XRP Ledger, suffers from energy inefficiencies. Nonetheless, the team believes that PoW can help with early distribution and with the double-spend issue. The XRPL was created by the core developers as an energy-efficient alternative against PoW’s hegemony. One of the biggest downsides to XRP is the lack of arbitrary smart contracts. This is to maximize the security and stability of the network. However, all that might change very soon. How does XRP Ledger plan to expand? Hooks, a smart contract feature integrated into XRPL transactions, is in development by XRPL Labs to provide additional basic functionality on the base l...
