Industry News & Trends: Bitcoin Perseveres, New Geothermal Farm and More
In the past month, we saw a lot of talks regarding Bitcoin, its regulation and its legality. On one hand, it was revealed that the United States was thinking of passing crypto-unfriendly bills that could suppress the development of the industry, and on the other, China came out with a ban on all cryptocurrencies — including Bitcoin.
While some experts were expecting the price of Bitcoin to fall due to a successive series of bad news, the reality was far from that case. Throughout the September storm, Bitcoin resisted the challenges thrown its way, barely falling below $40,000 during this timeframe. When things calmed, however, the price began to climb back at an impressive pace, bringing about an air of optimism and hope.
El Salvador President Teases New Geothermal Bitcoin Farm
In a Tweet posted on September 28, the president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele shared a 25-second video teasing the country’s volcano-powered Bitcoin farm. The video reveals some of the ins and outs of the facility that presumably generates the geothermal energy, as well as a series of mining rigs neatly stacked next to one another.
One of the biggest criticisms against Bitcoin is its energy usage, which while high, is what keeps the network decentralized and secure. Since Elon Musk raised this particular issue earlier this year, miners have been looking for greener solutions for the Bitcoin mining process, and one great means that checks all the boxes is geothermal energy.
NFT Volume and Market Cap Go Opposite Directions
Similar to the crypto market, the NFT market was also in a weird state. This past month, according to CoinMarketCap, NFT trading volumes had decreased by over 30%, whereas their market cap grew by a whopping 60% in the same timeframe.
This may be due to the ongoing adoption of NFTs as more and more establishments, celebrities and IPs enter the field to utilize the ever-expanding use cases of non-fungible tokens to sell a wide array of products and services.
