By Moris Beracha .- A large number of companies that have significantly invested in the production of cryptocurrency mining hardware may be throwing in the towel, driven by the stagnation of the market. Some portals such as Amazon have had to sell mining machines, video cards, and power sources, among other equipment, at discounted prices to exhaust the existence of these equipment and of course avoid excess of inventory. In early 2018, these products were sold at profitable prices, but the sharp drop in prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies led to a major beating in prices for these products. In a press release, the Japanese consortium GMO Internet Inc., a competitive cryptocurrency mining hardware manufacturer in the market, announced its decision to cease operations in its cryptocurrency mining business. The company, specializing in Internet infrastructure, reported that the losses of its business related to cryptocurrency mining...

By Moris Beracha .- A significant number of companies engaged in apps development are undertaking crypto raffles among all those users who try and get some kind of error in their digital products. This kind of lottery consists of completing small tasks such as captchas or clicking a button to claim free coins every hour without any investment, because it is just about spending time on the platforms and watching ads and completing the tasks.

Eventually, you can get enough tokens to charge and get a small profit on the wallet or digital wallet. Ripple has also decided to raffle or give away millions of its cryptocurrencies also known by the acronym XRP, but the aforementioned company aims to achieve the u...

By Moris Beracha.- Argentines Santiago and Pia can be a clear example of a couple who lives and dreams of technology, since they are the parents of the first blockchain baby. Technology helps human beings every day; however, some people become obsessed with it and seek to be the pioneers when transforming some type of previously established procedure. Argentines Santiago Siri and Pia Mancini can be a clear example of a couple who lives and dreams of technology, since they are the parents of the first blockchain baby.

Soluna says its new business model can be good for blockchains and clean energy development. By Mike Orcutt It’s undeniable: Bitcoin’s energy guzzling is a growing environmental problem. It’s been estimated that the network uses nearly as much electricity as all of Ireland, raising alarms about its carbon footprint. In theory, though, it doesn’t have to consume nearly as much fossil-fuel-based power as it does today—and a new renewable-energy company has an ambitious plan to prove it. The firm, called Soluna , has acquired a 37,000-acre wind-farm site in Morocco that it says has the potential to host up to 900 megawatts of power-generating capacity. (A recent estimate (PDF) suggests that the Bitcoin network uses at least 2.55 gigawatts.) Development of the site began nine years ago, but progress stalled under its previous owners. Soluna, which has teamed with the German wind-power developer ALTUS AG , aims to build at least 36 megawatts of capacity by...

By Bernard Marr Even though Bitcoin and blockchain are still in their infancy, they have both been the "talk of the town" as experts contemplate the potential ramifications—good and bad—for virtually every industry. As the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is the first exposure many people have to blockchain technology. Many compare the transformative effect of blockchain to the disruption caused by the Internet, search engines and Google that changed the way we work, shop and communicate with one another. Everyone from world leaders to CEOs, and industry experts to investors are being asked their thoughts about Bitcoin and blockchain. Here are just a few of their opinions. “It’s gold for nerds.” —Stephen Colbert, Comedian “Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry.” —Rick Falkvinge, Founder of the Swedish pirate party “Bitcoin is a technological tour de force.” —Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, investor, and philanthropist “Every informed person...

By Kellie Ell, CNBC Bitcoin is still the best bet for crypto investors as people are "functionally using" it, Bart Smith told CNBC. "If you want to own the asset that you can actually use today and that people are functionally using, it’s bitcoin," Smith, head of digital asset at trading giant Susquehanna International Group, said on "Fast Money" Tuesday. "The use case for bitcoin is valid today, which is the currency of the internet," he added. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been just one of many digital coins in the crypto universe that has been under increased scrutiny in recent months as regulators try to determine how cryptocurrency should be used. But the fact that bitcoin has established use cases is what gives it the competitive advantage over other cryptocurrencies, Smith said. Last fall, when bitcoin futures were announced, "people got very excited about bitcoin," he said. "They got really exc...
