Those tracking Bitcoin’s diagnostics likely noticed a downturn in the network’s hashrate. But what does this mean for retail participants? To help lend some measured insight, CEX.IO Founder and CEO, Oleksandr Lutskevych, spoke with Cointelegraph to discuss these fluctuating metrics, and what could be behind the drop in hash. Alongside consolidations by large-scale mining operations, Alex notes how institutional curiosity may also be nudging out individuals who once sought refuge in decentralized finance.

In the fast-paced world of #crypto, keeping up with the latest trends can be critical to discovering new opportunities. But for those who’ve ridden the rollercoasters of consecutive hype cycles, experience suggests that all innovations should undergo careful analysis before strapping in. To that end, CEX.IO’s Head of Communications, Becky Sarwate, spoke with The Coin Bureau to discuss the rise of celebrity tokens, and how this current fad could impact the crypto space.

Since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, retail participants who maintained the asset’s potential as a store of value have been righteously vindicated by its overall performance. Now, as more businesses are including BTC among their treasury holdings, it seems corporate entities have woken up to the advantages of a decentralized portfolio. To discuss the rise and ramifications of greater institutional investment in the crypto space, CEX.IO’s Head of Corporate Payment Solutions and Manager of our Lithuanian entity, Arina Dudko, spoke with Cointelegraph to flush out this emerging dynamic. While greater corporate interest in the space could spur further integration and acceptance, Arina notes how low liquidity and rising prices may result in less robust inclusion for retail participants.

The old adage “work smarter, not harder” is not immediately made manifest by simply throwing the word “intelligence” in front of a proposed solution. Like a “hair of the dog” hangover cure, or deploying subsequent predators after swallowing a fly, using AI solutions to plug AI-generated or societal “holes” could prove more costly than the problems themselves. Ultimately, if proposed AI solutions fail in their purported efficiency, it could be up to retail users and workers to halt its integration.

Just like Bitcoin’s proof of work consensus mechanism, AI programs are also attempting to solve a problem. Where mining rigs race to complete complex cryptographic puzzles, AI programs synthesize prompts and winnow down possible information before regurgitating an answer. However, where Bitcoin’s brute force computing allows for rapid, successive attempts, most AI programs require a turn-based response for each request. In practice, this creates problems on two critical fronts that undermine AI’s overall efficiency.

Is the post-BTC halving crypto market following the patterns of previous cycles? In this month’s funducational video, we explore and explain several potential outcomes of this historic event. Watch/listen to the clip to learn more about what could make this particular halving different from previous ones, through the voice of CEX.IO’s Head of Communications, Becky Sarwate!

History is littered with attempts to replicate humanity for all manner of ends. From the Mechanical Turk and animatronics, to Science Fiction’s run of robots, droids, and replicants, we’ve long aspired for company when left to ponder the void. However, the darker side of this long sought endeavor is rooted in the earliest, often most destructive economic incentive: cheap labor. In our latest industry report, The CEX.IO Market Research Team examines how an array of AI solutions are impacting the world of work, and beyond.
