El Salvador's Bold Move: Creating the Biggest Bitcoin Mining Farm
El Salvador is seizing the opportunity presented by its abundant natural resources and introducing “Volcano Energy,” positioning itself as a major contender in the global Bitcoin mining industry. The country’s ambitious plan involves the construction of a 241 MW renewable power generation park in the Metapán region, integrating solar and wind projects. 
The Wall Street Journal recently published a sensational article about a handful of mysterious coders-maintainers who back Bitcoin Core and have the power to crash the network at any time!
It turns out that Bitcoin Core only has 5 maintainers, with the sixth leaving the group due to burnout and health issues. And only 17 people had the ability to change the code throughout the entire BTC existence. Furthermore, the code base is hosted on GitHub, a Microsoft-owned website...
What? Five cripples decide the fate of the world's most decentralized project?
While our editor was getting an indirect heart massage, our techs reassured everyone that this was pure FUD and that there are plenty of ways to avoid any of these guys' tricks.
Also, the well-known cypherpunk Adam Back has already come up with a counter-argument. Take a deep breath and relax! 
Sustainable Energy and Crypto: Is There a Shared Future?
The progress of renewable energy could gain a considerable boost from cryptocurrency miners' efforts. But how can we curb excessive power usage in mining while enhancing its sustainability? First, we need to understand the term "sustainable", which has broader implications especially when related to manufacturing, economics, and finance. LIKN: Move Your Content to Web3
LIKN is a trailblazing blockchain protocol that seamlessly moves any form of content from Web2 to Web3.

A bitcoin mining operation powered entirely by "green" nuclear energy has just launched in Pennsylvania. TeraWulf has announced that it will be using the Susquehanna nuclear power station to mine BTC.
The key details about the project:
Nuclear power station capacity – 2.5 GW.
Fixed cost of electricity – $0.02 per kWh for five years.
Planned load – 50,000 mining rigs, 160 MW.
Actual load at present – 8,000 mining rigs.
Computing power – 5.5 EH/s.
With such a low electricity rate, this project promises to be highly profitable even in a bear market. Indeed, it's a far cry from mining BTC in a school's crawlspace! Microsoft halts development of its own metaverse
More than 100 employees who worked on this project will be laid off. The global behemoth underestimated its power and the necessary investments for implementation. Microsoft officials say that everything will happen, but it will be later. When will the global markets calm down?
