Bitcoin and Ethereum, what is each one for and why are they different?
Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two best known and most valuable cryptocurrencies on the market. However, they serve different purposes and use different technologies to achieve their goals. Let's see.
Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, was launched in 2008/9. Its primary goal is to be a censorship-resistant, decentralized form of exchange that allows individuals to transact without the need for a central intermediary. To this day he has fulfilled it. To do this, it uses
As the world and technology advances, so do everyday items such as money. What were once commodities, salt, copper or gold, later evolved into paper money issued by a bank, and in the future will be bits in a system controlled by a central bank.
CBDCs are digital currencies issued by central banks of countries and are presented as a replacement for cash that, except in some countries, is used on a daily basis throughout the world. They are usually present in crypto conversations since they shar
Bitcoin network increases the return for miners, lowering their difficulty.
We know that the Bitcoin network regulates its difficulty according to its calculation capacity, the difficulty being low if this capacity or computational power is low and increasing as more miners and computers enter the network. If this were not the case, as the Bitcoin network grows, the ease of mining would grow and much more bitcoin would be mined faster, something that Nakamoto wanted to avoid by making sure that the difficulty was regulated according to the capacity of the network.
A DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a way of carrying out and structuring an organization through the blockchain, in which there is no central authority or hierarchies within it. We can see it as a company that is organized democratically through code and not through a CEO who makes the decisions.
The biggest use case of these organizations is given to organize dapps (decentralized applications) that work on the blockchain, so that the decisions that are made in them are not subjec

FTX's decline reminds us: “Not your keys, not your coins.”
When we enter crypto, the first thing that is taught (or at least should be taught) is the famous phrase “Not your keys, not your coins” in relation to whether another person or entity - such as a centralized exchange is the one that has access to your assets, your assets are not really yours but that person's, even though you have paid for them. And this week, with the fall of FTX and FTT, it was more than demonstrated.
The problem appears with the mass investment in crypto, in which many user
With the arrival of The Merge, the discussion about the two most popular consensus protocols in crypto networks so far surfaced on the networks: Proof of Work, which is used by Bitcoin and other crypto projects (and was used by Ethereum ) and Proof of Stake, which is currently used by Ethereum and most new altcoins. Today we are going to review both protocols, defining their pros and cons and trying to determine if one is better than the other.

Yesterday, October 31, marked the 14th anniversary of the publication of the Bitcoin white paper for a list of crypto enthusiasts by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Throughout these 14 years, the newly created Bitcoin grew and gained popularity in the market to the point of becoming one of the most appreciated assets in history.

Adoption grows: 24,000 USDT ATMs will be enabled in Brazil
The company Tether joins forces with SmartPay to enable, as of November 3, 24,000 ATMs where USDT can be bought and sold in exchange for reais, the Brazilian fiduciary currency.

Brazil already has ATMs, but for Bitcoin, since 2020 in various cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo
