crypto/bitcoin news
Posted: December 15th, 2023, 10:13 am
In an effort to rehabilitate this board I have decided to try an provide some news.
First some very old news. Six years ago today (WEF) the World Economic Forum predicted that bitcoin would consume the entire electrical production of the planet by.... three years ago.

Fortunately it didn't happen and WEF have changed their opinion. Praising "data centers" powered by gas normally either dumped or flared in the oil extraction industry. The oil companies are in fact being PAID to clean up their emissions, thanks to bitcoin mining.
News of El Salvador. Their bitcoin holdings are in the black and volcano bonds are back on the table.

Our government wants to regulate crypto.

But Mr Sunak seems rather tardy with responses to a "Freedom of information" request.

In the US there are bun fights over crypto regulation.

And Senator Warren just wants to ban it. I'm sure that the there is nothing to the speculation about political funding.

Bad news though. Well we do have to expect some.
Crypto wallet Ledger has been hacked. Fortunately it only effects some users, not all of us.

There has also been significant amounts stolen in other hacks. $363 million in November alone.

I hope that you are all well and that you are careful if you decide to become involved.
