Episode 165: Bitcoin 2022 Recap

Bitcoin 2022 was the largest Bitcoin event in history, exploring the technological advancements, financial empowerment and countercultural influence that surround this open-source technology. During Bitcoin 2022, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis offered details on a bipartisan bill, The Responsible Financial Innovation Act, that she hopes will establish favorable Bitcoin regulation during a fireside chat with Marco Santori, the chief legal officer of Kraken. There becomes an obvious burden as nation states recognize the success of Bitcoin and attempt to apply existing regulations to govern its use or create new laws to do so. In the U.S., Lummis shared that she sees legislators becoming increasingly open to the idea of passing favorable rules catered to Bitcoin that would foster innovation in the country. Legislation and the cryptocurrency space have been increasingly at odds for some time now.  In July 2021, for instance, Bitcoiners were abruptly disturbed on a late-Wednesday night as the announcement of a new infrastructure bill in the U.S. looked to require that know-your-customer (KYC) reporting criteria be collected on people sending over $10,000 in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The pseudonymic nature of bitcoin prevents this kind of information from ever being collected, which raised concerns, and suddenly it seemed, Bitcoiners became highly political. Canaan has officially released four standards for its Avalon products, engineers, cooperative mines and after-sales service in order to promote sustainable mining construction. Lu also shared his views on immersion liquid cooling technology to promote the transformation of mining infrastructure to "green" solutions. The company released its three key pillars of green mining: energy, miner and infrastructure (EMI). For energy, bitcoin mining plays an active role in both traditional energy power and clean energy power. Miners look for low-cost or free electricity to power their machines. It is common for mining equipment to be deployed in oil and gas fields and hydroelectric power stations. By deploying mining equipment on oil and gas sites, the carbon footprint of the extraction process is reduced. The reason there is no other way to do this is because other industries lack the flexibility of Bitcoin mining. Strike CEO Jack Mallers announced at Bitcoin 2022 that the company has partnered with three of the world’s largest payments providers, Shopify, NCR and Blackhawk Network to enable bitcoin payments at stores throughout the country. He explained that the integration eliminates legacy banks from the payments process, saving merchants on fees and enabling privacy for shoppers. 📚Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=reginald+seay&crid=XNP2FB40Q3TH&sprefix=reginald+seay%2Caps%2C232&ref=nb_sb_noss 📚 Course: https://market-marauders-complete-guides.teachable.com/p/the-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency 📚Website: www.marketmarauders.net 🦩Twitter: @yourequest 😎Instagram: market_marauders 📧Email: [email protected] 🚧 DISCLAIMER🚧 I am not a qualified licensed investment advisor.
