Worldcoin has an optics problem

Worldcoin has secured over $125 million in VC funding but is it really a net-positive for the world or just another billionaires’ cash grab?

Explained: Why Bitcoin users don’t send transactions directly to miners

Many believe that Bitcoin users send transactions directly to miners or pool operators. However, things are a little more random than that.

Tether, Circle, and Paxos have all hired firms to lobby on their behalf in Washington DC but Coinbase still spends millions more.

As of March, Tether’s $1.5B in bitcoin was triple the amount of cash in its reserves. This change will likely exacerbate that difference.

The Swiss government has responded favorably to a referendum to enshrine cash in the nation’s constitution, with a draft expected in August.
