BREAKDOWN: Why Bitcoin Mining Might Be the New Business Model for US Power Plants
South Korea gets legal recognition for crypto; NY power plant mines BTC; and the end of the intranet era for enterprise blockchain?
ABOUT
It was another good day for global crypto, as South Korea votes to formally integrate the industry into the existing financial system, opening the market to new players and potentially improving services for crypto companies.
In New York state, meanwhile, a recently renovated power plant is taking advantage of low cost energy with 7000 bitcoin miners. This is part of a larger trend of US-based mining in 2020.
In a very different part of the industry, a new partnership between ConsenSys, EY and Microsoft suggests the intranet era of enterprise blockchain might be coming to a close.
Finally, the new governor of the Bank of England says be prepared to lose money if you buy bitcoin.
