For some time this weekend, it was more expensive to transact on Bitcoin’s network than ever before in history. Teeming with activity, the higher costs for users came as a protocol for Bitcoin-based meme coins launched and rewards for miners were slashed in half. The average Bitcoin transaction fee soared to $127 Friday amid the quadrennial halving event and launch of Runes, according to data from Blockchain.com. Representing a record-level period in terms of fees, a few pricey, urgent transactions may have skewed the metric, however. For example, one Bitcoin user paid a transaction fee of nearly 8 BTC, or…

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has revealed his latest Ethereum (ETH) position. Known as an Ethereum critic, Brandt shared a strong opinion that suggests Ethereum is generally always weakly held.

At the time, Brandt projected that the price of Ethereum…

Many Americans got their first glimpse behind the machine learning curtain when details of Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology went public. Instead of pure technology tallying up customers’ purchases and charging them when they left the store, the sales were manually checked by about 1,000 real people working in India. But these workers were the human-half of what most AI really is — a collaboration between reinforcement learning and human intelligence. The human element tends to be ignored in discussions of AI safety, which is a little disturbing given how much of an impact AI will likely have on our…

Hedge fund veteran Tom Lee is maintaining bullish conviction on both the stock market and Bitcoin (BTC) following the much-anticipated halving on April 20. In a new interview on CNBC, Lee says the halving, which cut Bitcoin miners’ rewards in half late last week, along with the rise of the Runes protocol, which has helped generate massive amounts of fees for the flagship blockchain, is going to contribute to upward pressure on price. The Fundstrat co-founder, who has been vocally bullish on Bitcoin for many years now, is forecasting a Bitcoin cycle top of $150,000, potentially before the year’s end.…

Following the historic approval of 11 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in January, industry observers are now wondering when the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could give the green light to an Ethereum equivalent. For those who don’t know, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a popular investment vehicle that trades on a stock exchange. It allows investors to buy shares that track the price of an underlying asset—which could be anything from gold and foreign currencies to crypto and tech stocks. If approved, a spot Ethereum ETF—just like a Bitcoin one—would mean a fund manager would take care of…
