An open letter to friends and family who are worried about the future of bitcoin due to the fiat business practices and subsequent collapse of FTX.
This is an opinion editorial by Heather Everdeen, a mother, Bitcoiner and lifelong learner.
Dear Friends and Family,
The thing I want you to understand about FTX is that these are fiat problems, not Bitcoin problems. Bitcoin is unaffected aside from its fiat currency exchange rate. The bitcoin price is impacted because of all the pressure on these exchanges and funds to sell their assets. Bitcoin is one of the most liquid assets there is; it’s easy to sell immediately when you have to. There is still a new block approximately every 10 minutes. Bitcoin keeps running, unaffected.
If they choose to, IANA could use Bitcoin to create a decentralized database for IP address distribution, unless they go down the path of tokenization.
This is an opinion editorial by Moustafa Amin, a technology leader with more than 20 years of professional experience across large organizations, service providers and telecom companies.
If you’re a frequent reader of Bitcoin Magazine or if you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast in general, you might have seen this motto. I came across it numerous times and I agree with it 100%.

Variable energy productions as a result of weather are guarantees of downtime and wasted money — so why incentivize them?
This is an opinion editorial by Mickey Koss, a West Point graduate with a degree in economics. He spent four years in the infantry before transitioning to the Finance Corps.
Imagine if you will, a seller of items that only worked under certain weather conditions. A car that only drives when it’s sunny. A heater that only works when it’s windy. Would you ever buy them? I don’t think you would. Because it’s illogical. Why would you want anything that worked on probability-based weather conditions?
For Americans cut off from basic financial rights because of their incarcerations, bitcoin can be freedom money.
Ubaydah Baa’ith is one of thousands of formerly incarcerated Americans who found greater financial security thanks to bitcoin, since employment, banking and housing discrimination against returning citizens is widespread across the United States.
“I come from generational incarceration. My grandmother and uncle did time, here I am years later with armed robbery,” Baa’ith said. “I learned about bitcoin when I was in a halfway house in 2018.”
Local meetups are implementing bitcoin mining lending programs to give members a chance to try home mining and learn about the Bitcoin network.
This is an opinion editorial by Barnminer, a Bitcoiner focused on improving self-sovereignty, on-boarding home miners, and a contributor at Bitcoin Magazine.
Having access to a borrowed ASIC for a day, week or month, will provide enough learning for the ins-and-outs of home mining, including some basic challenges. This allows a low-risk entry into participating in the backbone of the Bitcoin network. One will learn about set up, sound mitigation, heat, electricity and home networking. An Antminer S9 can operate underclocked on a 120-volt circuit. After the experience, one can make a longer-term decision about pursuing mining bitcoin in their home.
Natural gas acquired as a byproduct of oil extraction has become synonymous with wasted energy. In certain areas, drilling companies are unable to find a profitable market for the excess fuel. It’s often vented into the atmosphere. Startups are now offering on-site systems that utilize the surplus to mine cryptocurrencies. This new business is growing in regions where shale oil and gas extraction are major industries.

Blockchain startup Honeycomb, was pitched as one of the “smartest, most clever” startups in a technology feature in 2018’s Online News Association Conference (ONA18).
NiemanLab, part of journalism standards organization Nieman Foundation, questioned if a startup like Honeycomb could convince users to mine cryptocurrency with their mobiles and donate it to news organizations.
Honeycomb’s software would allow users to mine the cryptocurrency Monero on their mobiles while their phones are dormant and charging at night. Users would then donate the proceeds — via Honeycomb — to news publishers.
Freelancers are taking the world by storm. Not only do they bring in over $ 1.4 trillion annually, it is also estimated that in just ten years, freelancers will outnumber traditional full-time employees.
Companies have realized that as freelancers increase in number, it is sometimes easier to hire a freelancer for one-time project-based work than it is to hire someone full-time. This has led many companies to frequently dip into the freelancing talent pool, utilizing freelancers’ skills for writing, editing, web design, programming, and more.
