Bitcoin might face more headwinds from U.S. payroll and unemployment reports today, but they won’t be anything compared to what’s already happening in the markets.

Bitcoin is now trading above $55,400 again, but still down 3.8% compared to this time yesterday, according to Coingecko data. But…

The game also asks users to link their OKX account for future “surprises,” suggesting potential benefits for players.

When the player guesses Bitcoin’s movement correctly, in OKX Racer, they earn points—but guessing incorrectly doesn’t…

The story of human progress can be simplified into the story of increasing energy utilization. We harness energy to create order, both in terms of biology and society. Energy surpluses allow for every form of wealth creation, which in turn produce new technologies to effectively harness yet more energy. This truth has inspired famous concepts such as the Kardashev scale, which measures civilizations by their ability to harness energy resources towards useful ends. Compute is a natural continuation of this endeavor. Modern digital technology transforms ever greater quantities of electricity into advanced value-creating processes. The most recent surge in demand…
