The higher the mining difficulty—measured through the energy and resources that miners use to keep the network secure—the more difficult Bitcoin is to attack.

Monero-Backed Short Film Tackles Injustice on the Mexican-American Border

A Mexican teenager is lured into a web of cross-border crime with tragic consequences, in George Nicholas’ Monero-backed short film “Límite.” The film follows 16-year-old Manuel, whose desire to assert his independence and face down neighborhood toughs draws him out of his grandfather’s orbit and into the clutches of a cartel drug-running operation. Director George Nicholas was inspired by the case of Cruz Velazquez Acevedo, who died in U.S. custody after customs agents coerced him into drinking...

University Speaker Takes Ayahuasca, Shills Bitcoin, Gets Booed

The boos from 60,000 new Ohio State University graduates and their guests swelled as alum and commencement speaker Chris Pan explained: “I see Bitcoin as a very misunderstood asset class.” Throughout history, Ohio State’s commencement speech has been delivered by notable figures including former President Barack Obama, former U.S. Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, and astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Long-Term Bitcoin Investors Have Returned To HODLing: Report

Bitcoin’s sell pressure has waned dramatically compared to two months ago, with more long-term investors holding onto their BTC longer, according to crypto analytics firm Glassnode.

The on-chain metric compares near-term Bitcoin spending behavior to its yearly average, with a focus on coin...
