A Man Actually Never Loses.

Every stage in life comes with a new lesson.

#spreadhappiness

[Ian Issa @Issadefiworld]

Four years ago I looked at the same data every Bitcoin miner had access to and saw a countdown. Most saw a business.

The block reward was getting cut in half, mining was getting harder every month, and most operators had built up debt that only made sense if Bitcoin's price kept rising.

When it didn't, there was nothing to fall back on.

HashNet was built around that conclusion before anyone in the industry wanted to say it out loud.

The interview on @CoinTabNews covers the whole story, including how HashNet avoided the liquidity trap that caught everyone else.

Thanks to Sampson Gideon for the thoughtful feature.

Myth-Busting Wednesday 😉

MYTH: All cryptocurrencies are the same.

FACT: Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and memecoins all operate differently. Each has unique purposes, consensus mechanisms, and risk profiles. Calling them all "crypto" is like calling every vehicle a truck.

MYTH: Crypto mining destroys the environment.

FACT: Over 60% of Bitcoin mining now uses renewable energy sources, a higher percentage than almost any other industry. And Ethereum cut its energy use by more than 99% when it moved to proof-of-stake in 2022.

MYTH: The Bitcoin network has been hacked.

FACT: The Bitcoin network itself has never been hacked. The attacks people refer to were on third-party exchanges and services, not the Bitcoin protocol itself.

Which one did YOU believe until recently? 👇
