    What Would It Take for Amazon to Accept Bitcoin?

    With annual revenues of $280 billion, Amazon is a global juggernaut of e-commerce. To date, however, it’s shunned Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment methods (though it’s more than happy to sell you goods emblazoned with the Bitcoin logo). For Bitcoin advocates, the prospect of the world’s biggest e-commerce company accepting Bitcoin payments is a tantalizing prospect—one that would signal mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency and propel a new wave of Bitcoin adoption.  Amazon has a...

Brooks, formerly chief legal officer at crypto exchange Coinbase, suggested that the future would see banks “directly connected to blockchains, where they will see that as a payment network and they will become nodes on that network.” How decentralization will disrupt...

    Co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote today that Ethereum is "nearly unusable" for many types of applications. And, judging by the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap, this could be the case for many years to come. "The L1 is nearly unusable for many classes of applications, and there’s no non-L2 path that can get us to scalability in the short-to-medium term," Buterin wrote in an Ethereum developer thread earlier today. L1 refers to layer one, or the base protocol, which in this case is the Ethereum blockchain. L...
