Bitcoin is by far the most well-known and popular cryptocurrency, with valuations reaching a high of $64,829.14 (around £47,000) per coin in early 2021. Riot Blockchain is based in North America, and uses thousands of miners to find and secure new blocks of Bitcoin. The company is on an acquisition spree at the moment, buying up new mining machines and other hardware to increase its capabilities and reduce its energy costs.
Brooks admitted that “bitcoin miners appear to be causing environmental problems.” However, he said Bitfury has taken steps to reduce the industry’s climate impact. For example, Bitfury has designed technology that makes cooling computers and data centers more efficient and reduces the environmental footprint of activities.

The app creates little value for users and vice versa. The only value that users create is providing their information, regular logins, and completing KYC requirements from which the project owners are already benefiting by launching optional video ads to monetize the network’s active user base.
These smaller contracts are attracting more retail investors to the platform, a focus of CME Group for quite some time.
This question does not have a plain vanilla answer in ‘yes’ or ‘no’, as the government and the central bank still look unsure as to how to deal with this new-age phenomenon. In 2018, The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) came out strongly and kind of banned these tokens in India. Then in 2020, the Supreme Court of India reversed the RBI ban. That move was welcomed by the crypto exchanges and investors throughout the country. After this, Indian banks have tried to curtail transactions with crypto-exchanges as, in their view, they are governed by RBI. But later, RBI mentioned that banks cannot quote its 2018 ban to customers as it was overruled by the Supreme Court, paving the way for crypto trading to continue in India.
I have very little idea about the whole world of cryptos. One of my very dear friend introduced the Pi to me. I downloaded the app just to make him happy. However my personal opinion is that it is worth remaining faithful to a concept for which the founders have put in quite a bit of effort. If u have the time and patience, hold on to it as every good thing comes unannounced and sustained patience always bears fruits, else one day the app would fizzle out on its own and u would have lost nothing whatsoever except a click every day. That’s what betting is all about….u play blind on instincts

Tangible ownership : We might get some pushback on this, since the whole reason behind blockchain accountability is to prove that you actually own the cryptocurrencies you say you do. Prophets will say this is tangible. Maybe, in a bits-and-bytes computer-code type of way.
The main idea behind pi is to make it a currency of the common man. Hence they plan to launch after reaching 100 million users unlike Bitcoin which launched after having 18 million coins mined. As far as your inhibitions regarding pyramid or MLM like structure please note that for any currency to be successful it needs to be acceptable to large number of people. How can the users grow if one doesn’t refer another person? Bitcoin launched with less than 5000 original miners. And that is the reason why it’s too scarce and out of reach of common man and impracticable for day to day transactions. Can you suggest a better way of populating a concept without inviting people by the existing users?
Both Binance and Binance.US are two of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges on the planet. Although Binance has been around longer and established itself as the king of crypto trading, Binance.US is growing rapidly and appears to be making all the right moves such as hiring Brian Brooks as its CEO.
I signed up for pi back in the fall of 2019 after someone told me about it. I hit the button everyday for almost a year, and got more than few people to sign up but none of them stayed very long. In the white paper they explain how pi needs to make it thru testnet Which is where it’s been for some time now. Mainnet dates changed one too many times. The estimated date being the end of 2021 but now it’s 100 million pioneers. People mention how Bitcoin took a long time, using that as an excuse on why pi is dragging its feet. Bitcoin paved the way for cryptocurrency… It’s true you can disable ads, if everyone did it pi wouldn’t exist and if it did, it would be a risky investment. The developers know everyone won’t disable the ads. I know I didn’t and that was my way of investing. I watched every advertisement all the way through. I was all in until recently when it was revealed that mainnet wouldn’t happen until 100 million ( whatever it is) pioneers is reached. I know it was a lot. Considering it’s been years and it’s only at 10 million… Good luck with that! I have pi banked up but I’m no longer mining. My resources aren’t being used to make someone else rich here and now and with nothing more than my hopes that it’ll pay off When and IF IT MAKES IT!
