This Week’s Big Stories
Winning the Bitcoin lottery
There is a new whale in town but who is it?
One man's trash is another man's treasure
I'm Ridin' Solo 📈
This week, a solo miner managed to solve block 803,821, taking home a remarkable 6.25 Bitcoin block reward valued at roughly $160,000. This is an extremely rare event as lone miners have a lower chance of mining a block due to the increase in mining difficulty which also hit an all-time high this week. This solo miner became the 277th solo miner in Bitcoin’s history to achieve this.
Taking dollar cost averaging to the next level 💸
A Bitcoin wallet has become the world's third-largest holder of Bitcoin in just over three months, with a whopping 118,000 BTC worth roughly $3.08 billion at current prices.
The owner is unknown and speculation has thrown the Bitcoin space into a world of wild theories. All we know is they clearly mean business and have the money to walk the walk.
Putting Bitcoin miners in the landfill 🗑️
Methane from landfills is a strong greenhouse gas that's 25 times better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. Nodal Power turns leaked methane into energy, reducing emissions and generating profits while keeping the air clean.
Add a Bitcoin miner to the equation and now we're cooking with gas trash! This is exactly what Nodel Power is doing and plans to expand with their $13M raise.
