#Illinois Senate Bill SB1887 would drive out #blockchain #node operators, #miners, and #validators, waste judicial resources, and confuse existing law in a quixotic attempt to protect Illinois consumers. Let's examine the mess in a #thread:
as a preface, This is a stunning reverse course for a state that was previously pro -innovation. Instead we now get possibly the most unworkable state law related to #crypto and #blockchain I’ve ever seen. A shocking turn of events for the #tech community in #illinois /2
SB1887 focuses on consumer protection (this is GOOD). But, the manner in which it seeks to protect consumers is to require #node operators ##miners & #validators to do impossible things, or things that create for themselves new criminal & civil liability at pain of fines/ fees /3
10 Bitcoin #Mining Predictions for 2023
It's been a wild ride for #Bitcoin in the past year, but it looks like things could be settling down for public #miners.
Here are 10 Bitcoin mining predictions for 2023, according to @hashrateindex 👇

Here are 10 Bitcoin mining predictions for 2023, according to @hashrateindex 👇
1. The bitcoin bear market will come to an end
The future of #Bitcoin mining is heavily influenced by the price of Bitcoin. Arcane Research's 2022 year-end report shows that the current bear market is similar in length to 2014-15 and 2018, with a peak-to-through drawdown of 78%.

2. Bitcoin’s hashrate growth will slow down
Hashrate growth in 2022 was fueled by miners expanding during the 2021 bull market. However, the poor mining economics of 2022 will likely lead to a slowdown in hashrate growth in 2023.

Gas fees are an efficient way to encourage #miners to continue confirming transactions and maintaining network security.
They are still the most despised component of #Ethereum for every user. 💸🔒

One huge macro driver for higher sustained #inflation and much higher #commodity prices is that prices will surely have to rise to make it profitable for both Europe and North America to actually return to mining and general self sufficiency.
Emerging market / 3rd world commodity (mining) production accounts of a huge percentages of production of many key minerals. Add in China and Russia’s production and then look at who’s producing and who’s consuming and you’ll see that change is surely coming
Key countries like Chile, Brazil, Peru in South America as well as many parts of the African continent have their mining work suffering greatly from inflation. The worlds mining giants have taken advantage of low cost workers and weak environmental standards for many decades

1.1) POW with many #miners requires a lot of #energy & #pollutes (without renevables), this is a waste of energy, not because the provided service is not of high level, but because we have alternatives (POS). The generated heat could be dangerous too for our environment.
1.2) On the contrary a POS blockchain uses only a fraction of a POW blockchain energy to work. A POS blockchain could be also carbon neutral or carbon negative as #elrond.

Silver (2/4)
When this happens, it is usually followed by a long rally in the silver price and a rotation into precious metals occurs.
Another ratio which appears to be signalling a bottom in the silver price is Silver/M2 money supply near all time lows.

Having proof of proof of work means using cryptography to abstract away from the blockchain in a mathematically verifiable way.
In other words, PoPoW is a lightweight, yet provably accurate, representation of the blockchain

#lithium carbonate breaks $510k yuan/ton which is $80k USD - almost a $10k increase in the last fortnight. A small thread on why this matters below for #electricvehicles and #lithium #mining stocks. Happy punting all.
#Spot #lithium traded as above is usually representative of tiny volumes at different districts in China. Could probably spend a whole thread describing lithium prices in different areas but that'd be a waste of time. Take away point is the volume is tiny but it's a trend.
The head price you see here is representative of what traders/chemical producers are getting for product sold typically to #cathode #producers who use the chemicals to create lithium batteries.

1/ We’re excited to announce the release of @kadena_io’s Chainweb-Mining-Client.
This software allows #miners to mine to their own nodes, without going through a pool and paying the associated pool fees, mitigating centralization within pool servers.

2/ A longstanding “POW isn’t decentralized” argument is the need for centralized pools to mine efficiently.
With Chainweb-Mining-Client, Kadena could be the first pool-less protocol. No validator nodes (#POS), no pool servers (#POW), just pure mining and full nodes.

3/ Traditionally pools were there to give miners more frequent payouts. But because Kadena has a much higher block rate, we’ve found that mining solo can actually yield similar/better results.

Since ~2000 we have been in Kondratiev's Winter. A period where GLOBAL DEBT causes low and falling growth rates. Central banks try to counter this by printing money (Monetary Stimulus). However, Deflationary forces from debt causes deflations to unfold - despite extreme measures
To the frustration of Central Banks, they cannot create inflation despite extreme money printing. They stimulate by infusing money into the system but cannot make the money circulate. Velocity drops dramatically. What they miss...You cannot solve a solvency problem with Liquidity
