The Future of Web 3.0 from Bitcoin Miami 2022 In case you weren't aware, Travis and I are from the future.  It's our job as futurists to get there before you do so we can warn you about what's coming next. Well, we've been there. And there still aren't flying cars. But what we HAVE seen there is fascinating, and we were recently invited to the keynote stage at The North American Bitcoin conference for a fireside chat with Eryka Gemma to share what we've seen with the attendees. Turns out it was entertaining enough that we have secured a recording of the session and are pleased to share it with you today. Before you ask, just because we've seen the future doesn't mean we will share who wins the Super Bowl with you in advance. That just takes all the fun out of it.

Today's blockchain and cryptocurrency news Brought to you by ungrocery.com Bitcoin is up slightly at $46,331 Ethereum is up slightly at $3,488 and Cardano is up .5% at $2.60 Solana up 28% Algorand up 19% Avalanche up 17% North American Bitcoin miners are stockpiling bitcoins with their new hash power. Bitmain is sending 56k bitcoin miners to Georgia — boosting its stake in North American mining. The SEC is charging the 2017 ICO project Rivetz — and Steven Sprague — with failure to register. Priority transaction network Eden raised $17.4M in a token sale.

On this episode of “The Breakdown:” Bitcoin mining bump Coinbase's massive Q2 earnings and more institutional news Crypto tax companies popping up North American bitcoin mining companies saw a significant increase from the previous month. Contributing to this increase is the downward difficulty adjustment, a built-in and automatic Bitcoin feature that incentivizes more miners to join the network. The adjustment came after China's crackdown on their miners and a subsequent drop in hashrate. Is this mining success bullish for bitcoin? Coinbase's Q2 earnings report revealed a successful quarter with a bigger portion of trading volume attributed to institutional over retail. Additionally, ethereum surpassed bitcoin in trading volume for the first time. Will these trends continue? With regulatory pressure on the horizon, several new crypto tax companies are being formed (and venture capital-backed) to fill the gap. Crypto presents new complexities for reporting and the tax implications of the U.S. infrastructure bill are imminent. Will these companies be able to find a solution when it's tax time?

Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at the latest in the highly dynamic, fast-evolving world of bitcoin mining, including: China's mining ban and the “Great Western Hashrate Migration” Bitcoin's built-in hashrate fluctuation mitigation, the “difficulty adjustment” The Bitcoin Mining Council's newest sustainable mining figures China's expansive mining ban, including regions with hydroelectric power, forced China-based miners to liquidate some of their crypto in preparation for a move elsewhere. Where will hashrate move next? Will miners join U.S. crypto-friendly jurisdictions like Texas and Kentucky, or will they stay close to home in bordering countries like Kazakhstan and Russia? The ban induced a massive reduction of hash power on the network. Luckily, Satoshi prepared for such a circumstance and built in a concept of “difficulty adjustment” into Bitcoin's protocols, which allows for fluctuation in the composition of miners. The adjustment expected to be made tonight will be the highest adjustment ever made on the network. Lastly, NLW addresses a report released by the Bitcoin Mining Council on sustainable energy disclosures. This report's feature number, 56% of mining electricity mix is sustainable in Q2 2021, has some groups excited while others remain skeptical of the validity of the report. As NLW argues, “Some data is better than no data.” -- Enjoying this content?   SUBSCRIBE to the Podcast Apple:  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1438693620?at=1000lSDb Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/538vuul1PuorUDwgkC8JWF?si=ddSvD-HST2e_E7wgxcjtfQ Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9ubHdjcnlwdG8ubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M=   Follow on Twitter: NLW: https://twitter.com/nlw Breakdown: https://twitter.com/BreakdownNLW   The Breakdown is sponsored by NYDIG and produced and distributed by CoinDesk.com

In this week's episode, CoinDesk's Christine Kim and Consensys' Ben Edgington discuss major investments in layer 2 Ethereum scaling solutions and debate whether Elon Musk's attempts to “greenwash” the Bitcoin network are working. This episode is sponsored by PumaPay.io.Over the last few months, investments in Ethereum startups focusing on layer 2 technologies have been on the rise. In late March, billionaire investor Mark Cuban made an investment in Polygon, previously known as the Matic Network. Polygon enables users to send transactions on Ethereum with greater speed and lower cost by moving computations to a separate side blockchain or “sidechain.” On March 1, venture capital firm Union Square Ventures led a Series A funding round for Matter Labs, another Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution. In February, Silicon Valley VC Andreessen Horowitz led a $25 million investment for the team behind the Optimistic Ethereum Network, another still yet different layer 2 Ethereum-scaling service. “It seems like capital galore going into layer 2s and if any of our listeners we're around for Consensus [last] week, we also heard a lot of [decentralized finance] developers … talking about how layer 2 scaling is going to be the solution to one of their biggest challenges, which is high fees and limited transaction throughput on Ethereum,” Kim said. Along with greater investment in various layer 2 scaling solutions, there is heightened competition among these startups. As end users have started to compare and contrast the merits of one layer 2 solution over another, controversy has been brewing on social media according to Edgington. “There are trade-offs all over the space and it's hard to see how this is going to fall out,” he said. “With Polygon, it's certainly gaining a lot of traction and [its future] will depend on how people feel in the long term about the security trade-offs in the security model.”Speaking of controversies, Edgington and Kim also discussed Elon Musk's latest attempts to improve the environmental footprint of the Bitcoin blockchain by creating a new “green” initiative within the North American Bitcoin mining community. While Edgington viewed these efforts as nothing more than a “PR effort to greenwash Bitcoin,” Kim pushed back on whether these efforts could make a significant impact in making bitcoin mining more energy sustainable in the long run. Even if bitcoin mining were to become more sustainable, Edgington noted bitcoin would still consume magnitudes more energy than Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain because PoS doesn't rely on intensive computer computations for network security but instead relies on the collective stake, or wealth, of users. To listen to the full debate between Edgington and Kim on bitcoin's energy consumption, listen to this week's episode of Mapping Out Eth 2.0.

Location: Chicago Date: Wednesday 26th May Project: Kraken Role: Growth Lead When Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla had "suspended vehicle purchases using Bitcoin" due to their concerns "about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions", the market went into freefall, dropping from around $58k to just below $30k in just a few days. Since then, the market has reacted whenever Musk tweets. On Monday, he stated that he had "Spoke with North American Bitcoin miners" in a meeting set up by Michael Saylor and that "they committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising."  While this may seem like positive news, behind-closed-door meetings are not something that bitcoiners are fans of. The meeting was somewhat reminiscent of the New York Agreement.  The future of Bitcoin should be decided by the consensus of the entire network, not a small, wealthy and hugely influential committee. Some feel that appeasing one billionaire is a dangerous precedent to set. Are we heading down a slippery slope? And what will this mean for Bitcoin? In this interview, I talk to Dan Held, the Growth Lead at Kraken. We discuss the concept of leaders in Bitcoin, antifragility, and dispel some FUD.
