Hey! Another week of all time highs (ATH) for bitcoin and ether this past week. Both pulled back a little from the highs but both currencies continue to look strong.

Last week I shared a few thoughts about self-custody and setting up your own crypto wallet. Did you do it or are you still keeping the bulk of your cryptoassets on an exchange??

Proof of Work

Let’s talk about PoW (Proof of Work). The concept of “proof of work” is the idea that a feasible and significant amount of work must be done to avoid unscrupulous behavior like spam. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin implemented the PoW consensus mechanism to essentially secure the Bitcoin network.

The PoW consensus mechanism helps to secure the network because transactions can be processed between individuals on the network in a secure manner without the need for a trusted third party like a clearing house or bank. The complex mathematical problem ensures that the miners on the network can’t game the system. Proof or work also makes it really hard to change previous transactions on the blockchain because a bad actor would essentially have to re-mine the whole chain. I can get into technical details on how this works if there’s interest in the future.

Though PoW does use a lot of energy to secure the blockchain, more and more of the miners are moving to sustainable energy sources. There’s still a lot of work to be done on this end.

Tweet of the Week

There are a lot of people on Twitter and all over social media pumping and scamming things that really no one should be putting any money into. Even some TV anchors do this regularly. CryptoCobain is great at calling out a lot of these so-called “respectable” shills.
