💥 Mining companies sued over Bitcoin tech
A company that bought old patents from BlackBerry is now suing big Bitcoin mining firms like Marathon and Core Scientific.
They claim these companies are using their technology (elliptic curve cryptography) to secure transactions — and they want to be paid for it.
🔍 My opinion: Honestly, this feels more like a money grab than real justice. These patents were sitting unused for years — and now that crypto is profitable, someone wants a piece of the pie.
No need to panic if you’re a small miner or just hold crypto — this lawsuit targets the big fish only. But still, it’s a reminder that legal risks can come out of nowhere in the crypto space.
