This year’s ICO funding has already surpassed $10B, in a significant increase over last year’s total, and new token projects continue […]

Understanding the Bitcoin Cash hash war

Bitcoin Cash has undergone a hard fork this week after unresolved deliberations on a number of key upgrades, and tensions are running high. Two of the largest Bitcoin Cash implementations (Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV) are at odds over which features to include, and as a result, a “hash war” has broken out. Bitcoin SV […]

Productivity

I read heaps of content for my newsletters, but rarely do I read an article I think could be life-changing – and that’s what happened when I read Sam Altman’s take on being productive this morning. I practice many of points listed in this list and I’m sure I’ll be sharing it with my peers […]
