lets make it Martin Luther King day.  we're thru with the reminder of racism.  we want something new and progressive!

I have recently heard a story that a farmer children (ages 19-27) made a barn under some high power lines on their own property and they were able to steal electricity by having an induction coil under the roof and also rumors of copper rods within the ground linked to batteries which fueled a cryptocurrency mining farm project, they were caught when the electric company noticed the drain in power. I have also seen pictures of fluorescent bulbs placed under the a high voltage power line with one end in the ground and are lit up by the induced energy. I think it's ridiculous that they are taxing us so much for energy, even if you have self sustained energy, you must pay a tax on the energy you produce! Reminds me of what happened in Waco Texas (If im not mistaken with the location)

It's sad that nobody cares about the amount of EMF emitted from the electronics these days! It's far to expensive to protect yourself from all of it, and the demand for energy is only getting larger and larger. What would this world be like if we used the innovations Tesla made and many other famous scientists! How could this possibly effect the cryptocurrency industry and the future of mining coins?!

Is it true that over 30% of the energy of energy companies produce is lost due to the simple laws of physics?
Where about in China has really cheap electricity fee?

For me, the interest in technology was already as it's what I do for a living. Blockchain and altcoin has certainly lead me to learn more about economics and convinced me to try my hand at investing beyond standard retirement contributions.

How about you?

Join us for another Blockchain Beyond Hype episode where we interview Emil Sterndorff, Founder & CEO of Altcoin Magazine. We explore the unique challenges the digital media industry faces today and how blockchains can help. You'll learn how blockchains can be used to cut out intermediaries, ways to improve monetization strategies for content creators, and how improving the incentives leads to better content overall. Centralized platforms such as Medium and YouTube have become very popular. However, blockchain-based startups are exploring new ways to distribute, defend, and monetize digital media. If content creators can earn more money in less time, we can anticipate the incumbent content platforms being disrupted in a big way.

The most recent research released by CoinShares shows that the large mining farms are mining bitcoin where the costs of production are above $5,600. With Bitcoin prices over $10,000, that's a highly profitable business because it brings over a $5,000 profit per coin. We asked John Lee Quigley, a founder of Adaptive Analysis, to tell us more about cryptocurrency mining. On this episode of Blockchain Beyond Hype, he talks about mining farms and pools, and renewable energy powering them. He also argues why Proof of Work is by far the most secure consensus mechanism and why bitcoin mining is still sustainable despite the massive energy costs.

First heard of bitcoin in 2015. After the initial skepticism, a bit of further research resulted in him falling down the rabbit hole. With a background in finance, he has been pursuing a career in the crypto industry since 2018, when he started his cryptocurrency content strategy and research agency Adaptive Analysis.

Blockchain Beyond Hype is back, this time with Blockchain Zoo co-founder and CTO Barton Johnston, to discuss blockchain technology and how to scale it. We cover a range of issues in this episode, but the focus is on scale. What are the challenges to scaling blockchain technology and how can they be overcome? The key is to get blockchain to a stage where it can handle thousands, or even millions, of transactions per second - which is not the case now. A big part of achieving scale with blockchain is the skills of developers and engineers working on the technology. As Barton points out, it's still nascent, and many people working on it are still in the learning phase - and it's a big challenge. The key is education, continuing to build new solutions, and thinking outside the box.

Enjoy the discussion!

Martin de Borst is a blockchain expert and a co-founder of fintech startup Younder. On this episode of Blockchain Beyond Hype, we sat down with him to discuss a range of issues - from blockchain in the education space, to fintech and early adoption, to the act of educating oneself on a technology - like Blockchain - that is still emerging and being developed. Martin, like many Blockchain experts, is largely self-taught. He read voraciously, watched countless videos, took online courses, and more, to teach himself the ins and outs of Blockchain and how it works - and can work - to solve problems in the business world and society more generally. One of Martin's most important lessons shared is the importance of practical knowledge. There are limits to classroom education - especially in fields that are just a few years old. There are no formal courses, few professors with proficiency, and just a general lack of institutional knowledge. The answer? Get out there and just do it.
