From the idea that Bitcoin can become an alternative energy currency to gold, Turkey is at a war with cryptocurrencies. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.

Bitcoin seems to meet the definition of an energy-based currency proposed by the famous American inventor.

In 1921, the American industrialist Henry Ford proposed the creation of an “energy currency” that could form the basis for a new monetary system that was strikingly similar to the system (BTC) white paper.

On December 4, 1921, the New York Tribune became Upload The article outlined Ford’s vision of replacing gold with an energy currency that he believed could break the grip of the bank and end the war. He wants to achieve this by building “the largest power plant in the world” and creating a new monetary system based on “energy units”.

A century later, Bitcoin seems to have proven this idea73 to be a reality. Since 2009, more than 18.8 million BTC has been generated by energy-intensive mining, which requires computers to solve increasingly complex math problems. This proof-of-work mining process has been criticized for environmental impact claims, but now people are starting to pay attention to using renewable energy to mine BTC. .

Some of Bitcoin’s most ardent proponents believe that cryptocurrency’s solid monetary principles can eliminate war by reducing the likelihood of conflict financing due to inflation. While the gold standard made it difficult for governments to control money inflation, “international bankers” controlled much of the supply of gold bullion. This process of control and accumulation of valuable commodities has enabled the financial world to create a dynamic money market that thrives in times of war.

Bitcoin dominance is only suitable for billionaires.

Su Zhu, co-founder and CEO of the hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, recently revealed that Bitcoin’s dominance is only suitable for billionaires.

His latest statement relates to new entrants who have chosen to stay away from the two largest cryptocurrencies and opt for a higher risk crypto token.

According to a blog post by Sebastian Nagel, Head of Software Engineering at IOG, Cardano throughput will be increased with Hydra, the new off-chain scaling solution based on state channels.

Hydra does not require global consensus, so it can increase the speed and performance of decentralized applications. Hydra’s isomorphic state channel infrastructure consists of Hydra heads working in parallel.

News MISO

SushiSwap’s token launch platform MISO suffered a supply chain attack yesterday that stole 864.8 ETH from the “Jay Pegs Auto Mart” token auction contract.

CTO Joseph Delong said an anonymous contractor injected malicious code into the MISO user interface and replaced the original contract for the Jay Pegs Auto Mart token auction with a personal Ethereum address. A total of 864.8 ETH were transferred to the address, but no other auctions were affected by this attack.

In a series of deleted tweets, Delong said Sushi had “reason to believe” that the attacker was eratos1122, a developer who worked with Sushi and other DeFi projects like Yearn.Finance. He shared a document showing traces of transactions linked to the hacker’s original address, some of which were sponsored by Binance and FTX.

An ultimatum was issued with the document threatening that MISO would take legal action if the money was not returned in time.

Just a few hours later, the hacker returned 865 ETH to the original MISO contract. Data from Etherscan shows that the hacker’s address is almost entirely blank, and Delong himself confirmed the news on Twitter.
