 | | | | | | Good afternoon Bitcoiners! Let me say what a pleasure it has been to be your editor for the past couple of weeks. Rebecca Campbell will be with you again on Monday. If you want to keep up with me or have an interest in the top developments in decentralized finance, I'm planning a special issue around that topic for Inside CFO next Wednesday. Follow Inside CFO for the latest in corporate finance. Meanwhile, enjoy this issue of Inside Bitcoin. Also, don't forget about the Top 100 Bitcoin list on Twitter. Rebecca will get back to adding to it shortly. -- Allen, guest editor |     | | | |

Follow Friday - @danheld Dan Held is the director of business development at Kraken Exchange. His tweets are prolific and profound, including one of Held's most interesting Medium posts (they're all interesting). He made news in September 2018 when he said bitcoin mining uses less energy than gold mining, the banking system, and governments. Responding to charges that Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus is "wasteful," Hedl explains how work is energy, a concept introduced by French mathematician Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis. Going through the history of energy, from the discovery of fire to nuclear fusion, he finally gets around to Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper. Finally, answering concerns around energy consumption, he explains the mining efficiency of ASIC miners and delves into the relative cost of energy. If you're looking for a good, long read, this is it. Held has been in the crypto world for a while and co-founded @ZeroBlock, which was acquired by @Blockchain. He writes in-depth articles on a ton of topics related to Bitcoin and cryptocurencies. Plus, he does a lot of public speaking on the subject, as well. You'll find him at |  | | | | 4. Of 197 decentralized finance (DeFi) projects listed at Defi Prime, 179 of them are built on the Ethereum blockchain. Be In Crypto lists tokenized assets as one of the top 5 reasons Ethereum is looking better than it ever has. Last week, Spanish bank Santander made history by settling both sides of a $20 million bond on the Ethereum blockchain. On Monday, Harbor followed that by tokenizing $100 million in real estate funds. Tokenization is the process of taking real world assets and backing them with cryptocurrency or another digital asset. The process provides proof of ownership for the underlying asset and other key benefits such as cost savings, faster settlements, and more. The Ethereum DeFi ecosystem consists of tools for managing assets, financial derivatives, margin trading products, decentralized insurance products, KYC and identity management tools, lending, payments, prediction markets, and more. -- BE IN CRYPTO |  | | | | | | Keep your recruiting strategy competitive with Vettery's 2019 Tech Salary Report We aim to make the recruiting process more transparent for job-seekers and hiring managers, across the board.

Opolis is currently in launch mode with the mission to provide W2-like stability for workers in the freelance, or gig, economy. Opolis is structured around a guild concept that allows freelancers the ability to accept payment in fiat money or cryptocurrencies by consolidating receipts into one, participate in group health insurance, set up a self-directed IRA or 401k plan, find gigs in the Opolis gig marketplace, receive group pricing on services that are typically reserved for large corporations, financial automation, and more. Opolis has already established guilds for writers, digital nomads, creatives, student professionals, professional service providers, coworking space employees, health and wellness professionals, real estate professionals, tradespersons, blockchain industry, developers, and rideshare workers. The official launch date is November 1, but Opolis is taking sign ups and giving away free services to 10 winners plus one grand prize winner who will receive a year of free healthcare. -- CRYPTONINJAS |  | | | | |
