A recent study from Bitcoin research company Batcoinz revealed that the Bitcoin network's zero-emission impact has increased by 41% since last March and reached up to 62%, while the usage of carbon-negative sources creates a -4.2% impact on the Bitcoin network's carbon emission. The term carbon-positive indicates that an energy source releases carbon while providing power. Several Twitter users were left with a bad taste in their mouths after a tweet that has since gone viral showed a Greenwich Village restaurant, Dame, was offering $1,000 NFTs to join its "Affable Hospitality Club," allowing them to skip the line for a reservation. A woman received $10.5 million in an accidental transaction from popular cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com-and then allegedly spent it on a luxury home, according to reports. Two sisters in Melbourne, Australia, are now being chased by the courts after going on a spending spree with the cash. Levan Kvirkvelia, the founder of Jigger, an anti-bot protection software, has released a report asserting that 40% of the player base of web3 games are bots. The study found evidence of 20,000 bots across over 60 web3 games. You can find these stories and more at the link below:
