What the #%&$ is happening with Bitcoin?!

It's been a crazy 24 hours for the crypto market. Wednesday saw Bitcoin race to $69,000 — a new record high. Hours later, a brutal crash happened. The world's biggest cryptocurrency rapidly sank to lows of $63,208.11. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for this pullback. Traders might be taking profits off the table, or it might be linked to Evergrande, the Chinese property developer on the brink of default.

Twitter truly 'gets' crypto (hello Bitcoin tipping & NFTs!) but there's so much more to explore here." Check our our story.

Carbon credit marketplace being built on Tezos

The University of Cambridge is building a decentralized carbon credit marketplace on the Tezos blockchain. It's hoped this will help finance "independently verifiable and accountable nature-based solutions" — supporting projects like rainforest conservation and reforestation. Tezos was chosen because it doesn't use an energy-hungry Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism like Bitcoin. Better still, XTZ is widely available on exchanges around the world. Here are the details.
