On a dead-end road that climbs out of the tiny city of Jenkins, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Eastern Kentucky, there stands a large warehouse with a mint green roof. It shares the road with a few other businesses, but is otherwise surrounded by an expanse of open fields and tree-lined slopes. Inside, the warehouse is stacked high with racks on racks of computers—thousands of them. But none have ever been switched on.

The warehouse is owned by Mohawk Energy, a company cofounded by Kentucky state senator Brandon Smith in 2005, originally to resculpt landscapes disfigured by coal mining. After lying dormant for a period, Mohawk was reincarnated in 2022 when Smith struck a deal with HBTPower, a company then owned by Chinese crypto exchange Huobi, which wanted to use the warehouse for a bitcoin mining operation.

Under the deal, Mohawk promised to fit up its warehouse with the necessary power infrastructure, operate the equipment, and funnel any bitcoin produced to HBT. In return, HBT would pay Mohawk a monthly hosting fee, a cut of its mining revenue, and the associated energy bills.

Smith says he hoped the arrangement would generate tax revenue and create jobs for former coal miners, who could be trained as repair technicians. The coal industry departed Jenkins long ago, the reserves depleted, leaving people in search of work. More than a third now live below the poverty line, per the latest census data. “I liked the idea of going from one type of mining to a new type,” says Smith. “I thought, now in Eastern Kentucky we are going to have our time—we’re going to catch up and play a part in the tech future.”

But after a promising start, the relationship between Mohawk and HBT soured and then fell apart. “Nothing has ever been turned on. It’s a fascinating, almost Willy Wonka–type atmosphere when you walk through,” says Smith. “It has turned into a disaster.”

In November 2023, HBT brought a lawsuit in federal court, alleging that Mohawk had breached its contract on several fronts, including by failing to install the appropriate power infrastructure and secure certain power subsidies, and attempting to sell off the mining equipment. “Ultimately, the source of the current dispute is Mohawk’s basic failure to comply with its obligations, not only in a timely way, but at all in many regards,” says Harout Samra, a specialist in international dispute resolution at law firm DLA Piper and representative for HBT.

Mohawk sued HBT in return, contesting the various alleged breaches and claiming that HBT is delinquent on more than $700,000 in rent, labor, and fit-up costs. The company is also seeking damages relating to the loss of income over the term of the contract and the inability to bring a new tenant into the facility while the equipment remains on-site. “Huobi simply made a bargain it believes now is a bad one, and wants to get out of it without paying the funds it owes,” the filing states.

The legal conflict, which remains unresolved, is just one in a series of fights between Chinese companies and the owners of industrial facilities in the rural US over failed bitcoin mining partnerships. What looked to facility owners in Kentucky like an irresistible opportunity to tap into a new line of business in an otherwise fallow period has turned into a nightmare. They claim to have been saddled with unpaid hosting fees and energy bills worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, with few options for recovering the money. The Chinese parties have been left equally displeased. “HBTPower obviously regrets that this opportunity has ultimately played out the way it has,” says Samra.

The bitcoin mining game—a race between computers to win the right to process a bundle of transactions and claim a crypto reward—is dominated by large corporations that own and operate industrial-scale facilities. But in 2021 and 2022, smaller-scale operations began to proliferate in the US countryside wherever there was available power, including in Kentucky. “A lot of mom-and-pop shops opened up,” says Phil Harvey, CEO at Sabre56, a firm that consults on crypto mining projects and operates its own facilities. “Appalachia has always been a good source of power.”

These small facilities were plugging a gap in the market. A ban on crypto mining in China had left businesses casting about for a new home for their many millions of dollars’ worth of mining equipment. “A lot of wealthy Chinese businesses were affected,” says Harvey. “Every minute these machines are down, they are losing revenue.” Meanwhile, as the price of bitcoin ballooned—and the profitability of mining along with it—mining firms and investor groups began to hoard large quantities of bitcoin mining equipment of their own, says Harvey, without considering where they might deploy it.

In an overheated market, holders of mining equipment jumped into hosting arrangements at short notice with owners of small facilities, some of whom had no prior experience and insufficient expertise, who agreed to install the equipment and run the mining operations on their behalf.

But the haste with which these hosting relationships came together, in the name of striking while bitcoin was hot, says Harvey, set many of the partnerships up for failure. There was limited due diligence conducted by parties on both sides, delays in kitting out facilities and deploying equipment, and disputes over payment terms, he says, among other points of friction. “It's a snowball effect where everyone just ends up getting pissed off with each other,” says Harvey.

Though the American market proved more expensive and bureaucratic than some Chinese businesses expected, says Harvey, problems were also caused by the hubris of facility owners, some of whom found themselves in over their heads. “It’s no joke running a [bitcoin mining] operation of any kind of scale,” he says. “Just because the Chinese are tough to do business with, doesn’t mean they are the ones in the wrong. I would say that blame is equally shared.”

The law firm acting for Mohawk in its dispute with HBT, Anna Whites Law Office, has represented multiple owners of small facilities in Kentucky in similar legal conflicts with Chinese partners. The cases differ from the Mohawk situation, says attorney Anna Whites, founder of the firm, but share a common thread: “We saw a pattern that [companies with ties to China] would ship in machines with uncertain provenance, mine very heavily for three months, then run without paying the bill,” she claims.

Some of the cases settled out of court; Whites is unable to supply the details for reasons of client confidentiality. But others continue to drag on.

Biofuel Mining, a company formerly co-owned by Smith, is involved in legal tangles with two companies that Whites believes to be run out of China: Touzi Tech and VCV Power Gamma. Although both are incorporated in Delaware, per SEC filings, they conduct business in Mandarin and cannot be reached at their listed US addresses, Whites claims. “It's pretty standard for the foreign entities from any country to get a short-term office so that they have less scrutiny from US investors and government agencies,” she says.

In both cases, Biofuel claims, the firms shipped equipment from China to its hosting facility in Eastern Kentucky, then walked away with the bitcoin produced, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid energy bills and hosting fees.

Biofuel reached a settlement with Touzi in early 2022 for $60,000, but despite having handed back the mining equipment, it claims not to have received the sum it is owed under the agreement.

In the still-unresolved spat with VCV, Biofuel received permission from the Martin County Circuit Court in Kentucky to sell off the mining equipment, claims Whites, to recoup a portion of the funds it is owed (she has not confirmed the amount), but she alleges that no damages have yet been awarded. VCV has stopped responding to communications, she claims.

Biofuel has since dissolved, put out of business by the failed hosting ventures. “I literally lost my house—I lost everything. It financially ruined me,” says Wes Hamilton, former Biofuel Mining CEO. “I’m just so frustrated about the whole thing.”

WIRED contacted VCV and Touzi for comment, but did not receive any response.

There are few financial recovery options for companies like Mohawk and Biofuel. The situation is made more difficult, as in the Mohawk case, if they are dealing with so-called special purpose entities. Because they are set up by their parent companies for a single specific business venture, these entities need not be concerned about their long-term ability to operate in the US.

“It certainly can be more difficult to recover damages from a non-US counterparty,” says Kim Havlin, a partner in the global commercial litigation practice at law firm White & Case. “There is certainly a risk that an entity that doesn’t need to be in the US may just ignore the case.”

Even if the Kentucky facility owners win out in court, it could be difficult to collect any damages awarded. “A judgment is essentially a piece of paper. Any judgment needs to be turned into assets or cash in order to be valuable,” says Havlin. If the opposing party refuses to pay up and has no US assets to collect against, sometimes that isn’t possible.

Almost a year after the dispute began, the Mohawk case is stuck in legal limbo. In a setback for Mohawk, the presiding judge recently denied its motion to dismiss HBT’s complaint, on the basis that it had failed to sufficiently back up its argument. The judge also pushed Mohawk’s countersuit into arbitration, a forum for resolving disputes privately instead of in open court. Non-US parties tend to prefer arbitration as a way to “remove a home forum from both sides,” explains Havlin. “You can pick an arbitral seat in neither country as a means of creating a neutral playing field.” A parallel federal court hearing is set for December to consider whether an injunction should be imposed on Mohawk, preventing it from selling off the remaining HBT equipment in its possession.

Smith has given up on the idea of recovering the full amount he claims to be owed. “We’re at the point that it’s almost silly to even be arguing about breaking even,” he says.

In an interview with PBS that aired in September 2023, touting the Mohawk Energy facility, Smith said he hoped to prove that not every business that blew into Jenkins would abandon the area. “I’ve stood at their ribbon cuttings, then watched them leave. I’d like to do something to let people know that not everybody is like that,” he said.

After the relationship with HBT collapsed last year, Smith faces the prospect of Mohawk becoming yet another false start. With the facility inactive, the company has been forced to dismiss the former coal miners brought on as technicians. (It is unclear how many people it employed.)

The Mohawk facility was perhaps never set to revitalize Jenkins in the way Smith hoped, anyway. “I would say that a rural community benefits very little from a bitcoin mining facility. In terms of job creation, it’s minimal in a lot of cases,” says Harvey, the consultant. “It's certainly not the savior to a dwindling community.”

Nonetheless, Smith remains hopeful of salvaging the crypto mining project, with a new partner. “I’m hoping that this gets settled in the way that it should and that somebody comes forward and lets us go through with the vision that we wanted for this region,” he says. “I hope every day that maybe some big company will see that there's a place ready to go in this part of the country.”

Otherwise, Mohawk’s dalliance with bitcoin mining will become a cautionary tale. “It was very hurtful to see these families lose their income. We were one of the biggest payrolls in Jenkins,” says Smith. “It adds insult to injury that I’m sitting here arguing in court.”

that fish guy for that character ask game!! sebastian solace i think?

YEAHHHH THE FISH GUY 🎉 Yep his name is Sebastian Solace ! He is a guy who was falsely accused of murder then put on death row for it, only to get snatched up by some corporation, which falsified his death records and used him for experiments

Rambling beneath the cut

How Do I Feel About Them?

He fills me with so much grief you don't understand. Yeah he is The Silly and has a chance to call you "The Skrunkly!" Or smth when walking into his shop, he has really fun dialogue and is a little shit to you when you die. (One of my favorites lines is "(mocking tone) OoOUghHG IS thErE FiRE DamAgE? OOoOUGHh iS thErE FaLL DamAGe??")

But he escaped containment at a chance of freedom he was robbed of. He is gathering research so he can trade it for his freedom. His life was stolen from him and he can *never* be the same again. He frees the other experiments. He's stuck at the bottom of the ocean in some shitty lab for crimes he didn't commit.

Ships?

Did you know he's a married man. I literally only know this because of the wiki have fun finding it out otherwise

Other than that, Sebastian x P.ai.nter is a nice ship. Context: P.ai.nter is an sentient AI that wanted to create landscapes and paintings, but in this research facility was forced to essentially generate an income source for the company (similar to mining bitcoin I think.) As you explore the facility signs with the room number will get hijacked with lines like "I just want to paint landscapes again", "I'm sorry", and "Please die. For my sake" and I just. I hope they both get out of there. I think they could use each other's company. Sebastian saving P.ai.nter from being forced to work and P.ai.nter keeping Sebastian's spirit up in what feels like a hopeless situation, reminding him of what waits above the ocean waves for them

Non-romantic otp?

I think Sebastian and Eyefestation should be friends :]

Eyefestation (I call them eyes for short) is a shark that is also a lab experiment! They have the ability to telepathically communicate with people. Eyes was freed by Sebastian and I like to think in return Eyes helps slow down the people hunting Sebastian down. They're alike at the end of the day. Eyes was scheduled for execution just before Sebastian freed them. They are both subject to the hell that is the experiments they were put through

Unpopular opinion

Guys I know he's hot. Guys. Guys I know "OUGH HOT FISH MAN" Guys. I support every self shipper out there but Guys. Can we PLEASE get some fan content focusing on his backstory and emotions and how he's dealing. I know you all wanna kiss the fish dude but can we pause to get some character analysis going

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE US AN ALTERNATE ENDING WHERE WE CAN HELP P.AI.NTER AND SEBASTIAN PLEASE I DO NOT WANNA HELP FUCKED UP AND EVIL CORP LET ME SAVE THE FISHIE AND THE COMPUTER I LOVE THEM :((((((((((((((((

[timesofinnovation]

Elon Musk, the renowned CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently addressed a crowd during a town hall meeting in Pittsburgh, sharing insights about cryptocurrency's role in preserving individual freedoms. Although he refrained from explicitly endorsing XRP, Musk emphasized how digital currencies like it can play a pivotal role in counteracting centralized control. His remarks resonated with supporters of XRP, particularly as Ripple Laboratories continues its ongoing legal tussle with the SEC regarding the classification of XRP as a security. Musk’s comments highlighted a growing realization in the financial landscape: the significance of cryptocurrencies extends beyond mere investment opportunities; they offer a potential pathway toward a more decentralized economic system. For instance, XRP advocates believe that the currency’s unique features can facilitate faster cross-border transactions compared to traditional banking systems. As transaction speeds increase and costs decrease, XRP could stand out as a practical solution amidst the challenges of global remittances. Moreover, the legal implications surrounding XRP cannot be ignored. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, supported Musk's viewpoint, insisting that cryptocurrency regulations should evolve to foster innovation rather than hinder it. Garlinghouse contends that many voters are starting to recognize cryptocurrencies not just as financial instruments, but as essential tools for enabling innovation and empowering individuals in a digital economy. This aligns with a broader narrative—one where regulatory frameworks are increasingly evaluated on their impact on technological advancement. During the event, Musk also pointed to Tesla’s substantial financial maneuvers involving cryptocurrency. Recently, Tesla executed a transfer of $765 million worth of Bitcoin into new wallets. This strategic move signals Tesla's continued engagement with cryptocurrencies despite its earlier decision to halt Bitcoin payments over environmental concerns in 2021. Notably, the company has pivoted to accepting Dogecoin for certain merchandise, further solidifying Musk’s ongoing involvement in the crypto market. The mining process and energy consumption connected to cryptocurrencies have raised significant concerns, particularly in the context of environmental sustainability. Musk’s comments added an important dimension, suggesting that while there may be challenges, innovation in the energy efficiency of blockchain technology remains crucial for the future of cryptocurrencies. As digital currencies become mainstream, discussions surrounding them reflect evolving societal values. In democratic setups, voters are prioritizing policies that encourage responsible innovation and individual autonomy in financial transactions. The growing interest in cryptocurrencies may prompt legislators to comprehensively review existing financial regulations to create a more conducive environment for crypto technologies. Furthermore, Musk's assertions tie into a fundamental ethos of cryptocurrencies: empowering individuals against the backdrop of centralized banking entities and governmental authority. Histories of economic crises have often made populations more receptive to alternatives like cryptocurrencies, which promise greater control over personal finances. This is evident in emerging economies where citizens are increasingly turning to digital currencies as a means of preserving wealth against hyperinflation. In conclusion, the intersection of cryptocurrency and politics is indeed an area to watch. Musk's acknowledgment of cryptocurrencies' role in decentralization aligns with sentiments shared by an ever-growing community of advocates pushing for regulatory advancements. The path forward will necessitate engagement from not just corporate entities, but also governments and civil societies in harmonizing regulatory frameworks and promoting transparency. The future of cryptocurrencies, especially XRP, will undoubtedly involve navigating these complex dynamics.

If adequately harnessed, crypto has the potential to transform economies by fostering innovation and supporting the autonomy of individuals over their financial futures. As this narrative unfolds, the discourse surrounding digital currencies will likely serve as a bellwether for broader economic transformations poised to affect various sectors worldwide.

Bitcoin Doesn't Care Who's in the White House

In a world where headlines are dominated by politics and who's in power, it's easy to think that the fate of everything we value hinges on elections and leadership changes. But Bitcoin stands apart from all of that noise. Bitcoin doesn’t care who occupies the White House, which party controls Congress, or what policies are being debated on the Senate floor. It's a global, decentralized network that transcends borders, ideologies, and political shifts.

While the financial markets might respond to political promises and fiscal policies, Bitcoin follows its own code — literally. The fixed supply of 21 million Bitcoin, the halving schedule, and the consensus rules that keep it secure are immune to the whims of any political figure. No executive order can change its monetary policy, no legislation can increase its supply, and no government agency can decide its fate. This independence is at the core of what makes Bitcoin powerful. It's money for the people, designed to be resilient against central authority.

Every four years, nations might change leaders. Promises are made, broken, reinterpreted, or forgotten. But every ten minutes, another block is mined, adding to Bitcoin's blockchain — a symbol of consistency in an inconsistent world. Bitcoin provides financial freedom and sovereignty for anyone, anywhere, regardless of their country’s politics. It’s a reminder that while governments may come and go, and the political landscape can change like the wind, Bitcoin’s mission remains the same: to provide a fair, open, and predictable form of money for all.

This detachment from politics gives Bitcoin a unique appeal. It’s a form of savings that isn't tied to the political leanings or economic policies of any nation. People from every walk of life, regardless of political beliefs, are finding value in it. Bitcoin doesn’t discriminate; it’s not about left or right, but about forward. Forward to a world where individuals, not institutions, have control over their financial destiny.

Bitcoin’s resilience has been tested time and again. It has faced bans, regulations, misinformation campaigns, and skepticism from powerful institutions. Yet, it continues to grow stronger, largely because it cannot be controlled by any central authority. When governments print money to stimulate their economies, Bitcoin remains untouched by inflation. Its scarcity is coded into its DNA, making it a hedge against the devaluation of fiat currencies. This stability, in the face of economic uncertainty, draws people to Bitcoin as a secure store of value.

Consider the global nature of Bitcoin. It’s not only Americans who benefit from it being immune to Washington’s influence. Citizens of countries dealing with hyperinflation, strict capital controls, or political instability have turned to Bitcoin as a lifeline. It allows them to move value across borders, escape oppressive economic regimes, and preserve their wealth in a way that was never possible before. For many, Bitcoin represents hope — hope for a financial system that respects individual rights and freedom.

And while Bitcoin doesn't care who is in power, its very existence is a challenge to the traditional systems that thrive on centralized control. The beauty of Bitcoin lies in its simplicity and its fairness. Anyone with an internet connection can participate in the network, mine, trade, or hold Bitcoin without needing permission. This permissionless nature is revolutionary. It provides an alternative to those who feel left out or marginalized by the existing financial systems.

Bitcoin is often called “digital gold” because, like gold, it holds value beyond the reach of governments. But it’s more than that — it's programmable, portable, and easily divisible, making it accessible to everyone, from large-scale investors to individuals with only a few dollars to spare. Its technological foundation ensures that it remains a constantly evolving system, ready to adapt and improve without losing sight of its core principles.

In an ever-changing world, Bitcoin is a constant. It’s not influenced by campaign promises or election cycles. It continues to operate predictably and transparently, offering a form of financial security that doesn’t depend on political stability. It’s a system built by people, for people, where the rules are clear and can’t be manipulated by those in power. Bitcoin doesn't care who’s in the White House — and that’s exactly why it matters.

Is it Legal to Buy Crypto in Bangladesh?

Cryptocurrencies have gained global traction in recent years, but their legal status varies significantly from one country to another. In Bangladesh, the question of legality regarding cryptocurrency is a topic of considerable debate and interest among enthusiasts and potential investors. This article will dive into the current legal framework for cryptocurrencies in Bangladesh, discuss the risks and benefits, and explore the future outlook for crypto in the country.

1. Understanding Cryptocurrency: A Brief Overview

Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are digital or virtual forms of money that operate on blockchain technology. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or bank. They offer various advantages, including lower transaction fees, faster transfers, and the potential for investment growth. However, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies also presents challenges regarding regulation and legal oversight.

How to Avoid Common Cryptocurrency Scams

2. The Legal Status of Cryptocurrency Globally

Across the globe, cryptocurrency laws differ significantly, with countries adopting a range of approaches. For instance:

The United States has taken a generally positive stance, allowing crypto trading and taxation on profits.

Japan was one of the first countries to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender and has a well-developed regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

China, on the other hand, has implemented a complete ban on all crypto-related activities, including mining and trading.

The global stance on cryptocurrency often influences other countries, as governments assess both the risks and potential benefits associated with digital assets.

3. History of Cryptocurrency in Bangladesh

Government Stance and Regulations

In Bangladesh, the regulatory environment around cryptocurrency has historically been restrictive. The Bangladeshi government and the Bangladesh Bank have issued warnings and statements advising citizens against using or trading cryptocurrencies. As early as 2014, Bangladesh Bank declared that using Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency was not only discouraged but could result in criminal prosecution.

Key Events and Milestones

Several events have shaped Bangladesh’s crypto landscape:

In 2014, the Bangladesh Bank issued a statement clarifying its position against Bitcoin, mentioning that using crypto could lead to fines or imprisonment.

Over the years, Bangladesh’s government has taken action against crypto traders, emphasizing the risks of money laundering and financing of terrorism.

Despite these restrictions, there remains a growing interest in crypto among Bangladeshis, many of whom continue to invest in and trade cryptocurrencies through various means.

4. Current Legal Framework in Bangladesh

Central Bank’s Role and Statements

The Bangladesh Bank is the primary financial regulatory authority in Bangladesh and has taken a strong stance against cryptocurrencies. According to the bank, cryptocurrencies are not recognized as legal tender, and the trading of these digital assets may violate existing anti-money laundering laws.

The Bank has cited concerns such as:

Risk of Fraud: The unregulated nature of crypto makes it susceptible to scams.

Money Laundering: Due to its anonymity, cryptocurrency transactions may facilitate illegal activities.

Anti-Money Laundering Laws

Bangladesh has stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorism financing (ATF) laws, which apply to all forms of financial transactions. The government has pointed out that cryptocurrency’s anonymous and decentralized nature poses risks in terms of enforcing these regulations.

5. Risks of Buying Cryptocurrency in Bangladesh

Legal Risks

Given the current legal framework, buying cryptocurrency in Bangladesh carries significant legal risks. Individuals caught trading or holding crypto could face penalties, including fines or jail time, as the government views it as a violation of foreign exchange laws and AML regulations.

Financial Risks

Even if legal risks are set aside, cryptocurrency trading comes with financial risks. The crypto market is highly volatile, meaning that values can fluctuate wildly. This unpredictability, coupled with the legal environment in Bangladesh, makes crypto investments particularly precarious for Bangladeshi citizens.

6. Potential Benefits of Cryptocurrency for Bangladesh

While the government has taken a cautious approach, there are several potential benefits that cryptocurrencies could bring to Bangladesh:

Financial Inclusion: With a large portion of Bangladesh’s population unbanked, crypto could provide an alternative means for people to store and transfer value.

Remittances: Crypto could make remittances faster and cheaper, benefiting the many Bangladeshi citizens who work abroad.

Blockchain Innovation: Embracing blockchain technology could foster innovation in various sectors, including supply chain management and digital identity verification.

7. How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Bangladesh (If It’s Legal)

For those interested in exploring cryptocurrency, it is crucial to stay informed about the legal context. However, if one were to proceed, the following steps outline how to do so:

Steps to Safely Purchase Crypto

Research Local Regulations: Before proceeding, consult the latest information on cryptocurrency laws in Bangladesh.

Choose a Reliable Exchange: International platforms like Binance or Coinbase are generally reputable, though accessibility may vary in Bangladesh.

Use a Secure Wallet: After purchasing crypto, transfer it to a secure wallet, such as a hardware wallet, for safekeeping.

Monitor Your Investments: Keep an eye on your portfolio and make informed decisions based on market trends.

Recommended Platforms

Since local exchanges are not available, Bangladeshi users typically access international platforms. These platforms often require additional steps for compliance, such as VPN usage or third-party wallets. However, it’s important to proceed with caution, as legal risks still apply.

8. The Future of Cryptocurrency in Bangladesh

While the current regulatory stance is restrictive, there is a possibility for change as global adoption of cryptocurrency continues. The government may consider the following trends:

Exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): Some countries have explored CBDCs as a regulated alternative to cryptocurrencies, which could influence Bangladesh's approach.

Adopting Clearer Regulations: As more countries establish frameworks for crypto, Bangladesh may revisit its stance to accommodate blockchain technology’s benefits while minimizing risks.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is it illegal to own cryptocurrency in Bangladesh?

A: Yes, owning or trading cryptocurrency is currently considered illegal in Bangladesh, according to Bangladesh Bank regulations.

Q2: Can I use a VPN to access crypto exchanges?

A: While some users may use VPNs to access international exchanges, this is still legally risky, as it may violate Bangladeshi regulations.

Q3: Will Bangladesh legalize crypto in the future?

A: It’s uncertain. As crypto adoption grows globally, the Bangladeshi government may consider new regulatory approaches, but no official changes have been announced

Top Reasons Why Mint Tokens Are the Future of Digital Finance in 2024

Introduction

The world of digital finance is rapidly evolving, with innovations emerging at an unprecedented pace. One of the most promising developments in this space is the rise of mint tokens. These digital assets are redefining the way we think about finance, offering new opportunities for investment, transactions, and economic growth. As we look ahead to 2024, it’s clear that mint tokens are poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital finance. In this blog, we’ll explore the top reasons why mint tokens are set to dominate the financial landscape in the coming year.

What Are Mint Tokens?

Understanding Mint Tokens

Mint tokens are digital assets created on a blockchain network. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which are mined through complex computational processes, mint tokens are typically created through a process called minting. This involves the issuance of new tokens directly on the blockchain, often by a centralized entity or through decentralized protocols.

Types of Mint Tokens

Mint tokens can serve various purposes, including utility tokens, security tokens, governance tokens, and even memecoins. Each type of token has its unique characteristics and use cases, contributing to the diverse ecosystem of digital finance.

1. Enhanced Security and Transparency

Blockchain Technology

One of the primary reasons mint tokens are gaining traction is their inherent security and transparency. Built on blockchain technology, these tokens benefit from decentralized and immutable ledgers, which record every transaction. This ensures that all token movements are transparent and verifiable, reducing the risk of fraud and enhancing trust among users.

Smart Contracts

Mint tokens often utilize smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code. These contracts automatically enforce agreements and transactions, eliminating the need for intermediaries and further enhancing security and efficiency.

2. Accessibility and Inclusivity

Democratizing Finance

Mint tokens have the potential to democratize finance by providing access to financial services for individuals who are underserved by traditional banking systems. With just a smartphone and internet connection, anyone can participate in the digital economy, regardless of their location or socio-economic status.

Lower Barriers to Entry

Creating and trading mint tokens is often more accessible than traditional financial instruments. Platforms that facilitate the minting process have simplified the creation of new tokens, allowing users to launch their digital assets without extensive technical knowledge or significant capital investment.

3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Integration

Expanding the DeFi Ecosystem

Mint tokens are integral to the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), a movement that aims to create an open and permissionless financial system. By integrating with DeFi protocols, mint tokens enable a wide range of financial activities, such as lending, borrowing, trading, and staking, without relying on centralized institutions.

Yield Farming and Liquidity Provision

One of the key features of DeFi is yield farming, where users earn rewards by providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and other DeFi platforms. Mint tokens can be staked in liquidity pools, generating passive income for holders and contributing to the overall liquidity and stability of the DeFi ecosystem.

4. Enhanced Interoperability

Cross-Chain Compatibility

As the blockchain ecosystem grows, interoperability between different networks becomes increasingly important. Mint tokens are often designed to be cross-chain compatible, allowing them to move seamlessly between various blockchains. This enhances their utility and opens up new possibilities for decentralized applications (dApps) and financial services.

Bridging Traditional and Digital Finance

Mint tokens can also serve as a bridge between traditional financial systems and the emerging digital economy. By tokenizing real-world assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, mint tokens enable fractional ownership and easier transfer of these assets, making them more accessible and liquid.

5. Innovation in Tokenomics

Dynamic Supply Mechanisms

Mint tokens offer innovative tokenomics models that can adapt to changing market conditions. For example, some mint tokens have dynamic supply mechanisms that adjust the token supply based on demand, helping to stabilize prices and incentivize user participation.

Incentive Structures

Many mint tokens incorporate incentive structures to encourage long-term holding and active participation in the ecosystem. These incentives can include staking rewards, governance rights, and access to exclusive services or benefits, driving user engagement and loyalty.

6. Environmental Considerations

Energy Efficiency

Traditional proof-of-work (PoW) mining methods used by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are often criticized for their high energy consumption. In contrast, mint tokens typically use more energy-efficient consensus mechanisms, such as proof-of-stake (PoS) or delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS), reducing their environmental impact.

Sustainable Growth

As the world becomes more conscious of environmental issues, the sustainability of financial systems is gaining importance. Mint tokens, with their lower energy requirements and innovative approaches to consensus, align with the growing demand for environmentally friendly financial solutions.

Best Crypto Casinos Online

As a professional online gambler navigating the dynamic world of cryptocurrency casinos, it's imperative to stay ahead of the curve and identify the platforms that stand out in terms of reliability, game variety, and overall user experience. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the realm of crypto casino sites, focusing on three prominent players: Bovada, SlotPlus Casino, and Stake.us. These platforms have carved a niche in the competitive landscape, offering a unique blend of cryptocurrency compatibility, diverse gaming options, and a user-centric approach. Join me on this journey as we uncover why these are touted as the best crypto casino sites for 2024.

Bovada, a stalwart in the online gambling industry, has seamlessly integrated cryptocurrency transactions into its platform, catering to the evolving preferences of modern gamblers. The inclusion of popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum provides users with a flexible and secure means of funding their accounts and withdrawing winnings. As a professional online gambler, the significance of a reliable and efficient payment system cannot be overstated, and Bovada excels in this aspect.

Beyond the financial infrastructure, Bovada boasts a diverse and engaging selection of casino games, ranging from classic table games to innovative slots. The platform's commitment to quality is evident in its partnerships with leading game developers, ensuring that players have access to a rich and dynamic gaming library. For a professional online gambler, the availability of diverse gaming options is a key consideration, and Bovada's extensive portfolio aligns with this expectation.

SlotPlus Casino emerges as another compelling option in the crypto casino landscape, combining cryptocurrency compatibility with a focus on slot games. As a professional online gambler, the allure of SlotPlus Casino lies in its specialization in slots, catering to those who find excitement and strategy in spinning the reels. The platform supports various cryptocurrencies, enhancing the convenience and privacy of financial transactions.

The emphasis on slot games at SlotPlus Casino is complemented by an array of bonuses and promotions tailored for slot enthusiasts. These bonuses not only enhance the overall gaming experience but also provide strategic advantages for professional online gamblers looking to maximize their returns. The synergy of cryptocurrency support, slot specialization, and enticing bonuses positions SlotPlus Casino as a noteworthy contender in the crypto casino landscape.

Stake.us, with its sleek and minimalist interface, represents a unique approach to crypto gambling. As a professional online gambler, the platform's simplicity can be seen as a refreshing departure from the sometimes cluttered designs of traditional online casinos. Stake.us focuses primarily on crypto-based games, offering a curated selection that includes dice, mines, plinko, and more. This specialization caters to those who appreciate the simplicity and transparency of crypto-centric gaming experiences.

The proprietary games on Stake.us are provably fair, allowing professional online gamblers to independently verify the fairness of each outcome. This commitment to transparency aligns with the growing demand for provably fair gaming in the cryptocurrency casino niche. Stake.us leverages blockchain technology to provide an immutable record of game results, ensuring that players can trust the integrity of the gaming process.

In terms of cryptocurrency support, Stake.us accepts a variety of digital currencies, providing users with flexibility in their financial transactions. The platform's commitment to quick and secure withdrawals further enhances its appeal to professional online gamblers who prioritize efficiency in their gaming experience.

While Bovada, SlotPlus Casino, and Stake.us each bring unique strengths to the table, it's essential to consider the broader trends shaping the landscape of crypto casino sites in 2024. The integration of blockchain technology and smart contracts is gaining momentum, promising enhanced security, transparency, and automation in various aspects of online gambling.

Smart contracts, in particular, have the potential to revolutionize how bonuses, promotions, and loyalty programs are managed within crypto casinos. These self-executing contracts, coded on blockchain networks, could automate the distribution of rewards based on predefined conditions, providing a more streamlined and transparent process for professional online gamblers.

Moreover, the advent of decentralized finance (DeFi) has begun to influence the crypto casino space. DeFi protocols, leveraging blockchain technology, aim to recreate traditional financial systems in a decentralized and permissionless manner. In the context of crypto casinos, this could translate to decentralized betting platforms, peer-to-peer gaming, and innovative financial instruments integrated directly into the gaming experience.

As a professional online gambler, staying informed about these emerging trends is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Platforms that embrace and adapt to these technological advancements are likely to define the landscape of the best crypto casino sites in the years to come.

In conclusion, Bovada, SlotPlus Casino, and Stake.us emerge as compelling choices for professional online gamblers seeking the best crypto casino sites in 2024. Each platform brings a unique combination of cryptocurrency compatibility, game variety, and user-centric features. As the landscape evolves, it's essential for professional online gamblers to not only assess the current offerings but also stay attuned to emerging trends such as blockchain integration, smart contracts, and the influence of decentralized finance. By navigating this dynamic landscape with a strategic and informed approach, professional online gamblers can elevate their gaming experiences and capitalize on the ever-evolving world of crypto casinos.

The Imminent Bitcoin Supply Shock: What You Need to Know

In the world of Bitcoin, a significant event is looming—an event that could reshape how investors, institutions, and even everyday people view this digital asset. The Bitcoin supply shock is fast approaching, driven by increasing institutional demand and a continually decreasing supply of new Bitcoin entering the market. Understanding this imminent supply shock, and how it could influence Bitcoin’s future value, is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the evolving financial landscape.

Understanding Bitcoin’s Fixed Supply

Bitcoin is unique in that its supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it one of the few truly scarce assets in existence today. Unlike fiat currencies, which can be printed endlessly, Bitcoin’s supply is hard-coded to be finite. This scarcity is further heightened by the fact that every four years or so, a process called a halving occurs, which reduces the amount of new Bitcoin that enters circulation by half.

The 2024 Halving: The most recent halving occurred in 2024, reducing the block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. This means that miners, who validate Bitcoin transactions, are now receiving half as much Bitcoin for the same amount of work, effectively slowing the influx of new Bitcoin into the market.

This process will continue until the year 2140, at which point no more new Bitcoin will be mined, and only the circulating supply of 21 million coins will exist. While that’s over a century away, the effects of Bitcoin’s decreasing supply are already being felt today.

Institutional Adoption and Its Impact on Supply

One of the key drivers behind the imminent supply shock is the increasing presence of institutional investors. Over the past few years, major corporations, hedge funds, and even some governments have begun accumulating Bitcoin as part of their long-term strategies.

Institutional Holdings: Large companies such as MicroStrategy, Tesla, and BlackRock have added substantial amounts of Bitcoin to their balance sheets. These institutions aren’t just buying Bitcoin to trade it—they’re holding it as a store of value, effectively removing large portions of the supply from circulation.

Long-Term Impact: Unlike individual traders, institutions often accumulate assets for the long haul. This means that the Bitcoin they purchase isn’t likely to return to the market any time soon, reducing the available supply and contributing to growing scarcity.

As more institutions jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon, the circulating supply available for everyday investors shrinks further, setting the stage for a supply shock—a period where demand far exceeds the available supply.

Why a Supply Shock is Imminent

Several factors are coming together to create the conditions for this supply shock, and it’s worth understanding why it’s not just a hypothetical event, but something that’s likely to occur sooner rather than later.

Continued Institutional Interest: More institutions are beginning to see Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. With governments around the world printing money at record rates, the appeal of a finite asset like Bitcoin grows stronger. As institutional demand increases, more Bitcoin will be taken off the market and held in reserves.

Decreasing Available Supply: Every Bitcoin halving event cuts the supply of new Bitcoin in half, but this reduction is now coupled with institutional buying. The amount of Bitcoin available on exchanges is shrinking, making it harder for people to buy Bitcoin without moving the price up.

Rising Global Adoption: Countries and companies around the world are warming to the idea of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. This isn’t just an institutional trend—retail adoption is increasing as well. As more people and organizations accumulate Bitcoin, the pressure on the already limited supply grows, pushing us closer to a supply shock.

The 2036 Inflection Point: Running Out of Bitcoin

A key moment in Bitcoin’s supply dynamics is approaching in 2036—a date that could be a major inflection point for the cryptocurrency. By that time, 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined, leaving only 1% to be mined over the next century.

99% Mined by 2036: With each halving, the amount of new Bitcoin being created drastically reduces. By 2036, the Bitcoin network will have released 99% of its total supply of 21 million coins. This means that almost all of the Bitcoin that will ever exist will already be in circulation by that point.

The Final 1%: Mining the last 1% of Bitcoin (around 210,000 BTC) will stretch over the next century. With each halving event, the reward for miners is reduced by half, making it progressively harder to mine new Bitcoin. By the year 2140, when the fixed supply of 21 million Bitcoin is fully mined, the final mining reward will be just one satoshi (0.00000001 BTC). At that point, no new Bitcoin will be created, and miners will rely solely on transaction fees.

The halving mechanism ensures that, while Bitcoin will continue to be mined, the amount added to circulation each year will become negligible compared to the amount already in circulation. This creates an environment of extreme scarcity, where Bitcoin becomes a truly finite resource—more scarce than gold or any other asset known to humanity.

What Does This Inflection Point Mean?

When 99% of Bitcoin is mined by 2036, the remaining supply will be distributed more slowly than ever before. This moment marks a significant shift in Bitcoin’s supply dynamics because:

Price Pressure Will Increase: As the amount of new Bitcoin entering the market slows to a crawl, scarcity will drive up its value. By 2036, we can expect Bitcoin to be far more difficult to acquire, with a much higher price floor due to its rarity and institutional adoption.

Institutional Holdings Will Dominate: Since much of the available Bitcoin will already be in the hands of long-term holders and institutions by 2036, the remaining Bitcoin will be distributed among a much smaller pool of new buyers. This could create intense competition for the few Bitcoins that remain available for trading.

Scarcity Becomes Absolute: Once 99% of Bitcoin has been mined, the market will face a new reality—Bitcoin will become one of the most scarce and sought-after assets ever created. As institutions and investors scramble to secure a piece of this increasingly finite resource, the effects on price could be staggering.

Potential Outcomes of the Supply Shock

When supply is limited, and demand is growing, prices tend to rise. This is a basic economic principle that applies directly to Bitcoin. Here are a few potential outcomes of the looming supply shock:

Price Appreciation: With fewer Bitcoins available for purchase, and demand increasing, the price of Bitcoin is likely to rise. Historically, after each halving, Bitcoin’s price has seen significant upward movements. As we approach the point where supply truly begins to run dry, we could see even more drastic price increases.

Liquidity Crunch: A supply shock can lead to a liquidity crunch, where it becomes harder to buy Bitcoin without driving up the price significantly. As more institutions hold onto their Bitcoin long-term, there could be fewer coins available for trading, leading to thinner order books and sharper price movements.

Increased Scarcity: Bitcoin’s scarcity will only grow over time. As more entities hold onto their Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, the asset becomes increasingly difficult to acquire, adding to its allure as "digital gold." This scarcity is what sets Bitcoin apart from other assets and could make it one of the most valuable assets of the 21st century.

What This Means for Investors

For investors, the impending supply shock presents both challenges and opportunities. Here’s what to consider:

Long-Term Value Proposition: Bitcoin’s finite supply and growing demand make it an attractive asset for long-term investors. If the supply shock occurs as anticipated, those who hold Bitcoin could see substantial value appreciation over time.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): One strategy to consider is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), which involves buying small amounts of Bitcoin regularly over time. This helps investors accumulate Bitcoin without worrying about short-term price volatility. Over the long term, this strategy can help you build a position before the full effects of the supply shock set in.

Hodling: Holding onto Bitcoin during periods of scarcity could be a powerful investment strategy. Those who understand the long-term value of Bitcoin’s scarcity are positioning themselves to benefit from future price appreciation as the supply shock unfolds.

Conclusion

In summary, the imminent Bitcoin supply shock is not a matter of "if" but "when." With decreasing new supply, increasing institutional accumulation, and growing global adoption, the conditions are ripe for a significant market shift. As Bitcoin becomes increasingly scarce, those who understand its value and act early could find themselves in a favorable position.

The 2036 inflection point—when 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined—marks a critical moment in the timeline of Bitcoin’s journey. From that point forward, Bitcoin’s scarcity will become undeniable, and its value could appreciate significantly as demand continues to rise.

For investors, the key is to stay informed, consider strategies like Dollar-Cost Averaging, and most importantly, recognize that Bitcoin’s value is rooted in its finite supply. As the world continues to turn to Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty, the coming supply shock could prove to be one of the most important financial events of the next decade.
