9 Years of Ethereum Many of you will no doubt know the key dates in Bitcoin’s history. October 31, 2008, when Satoshi shared the white paper for the first time. January 3, 2009, when the Genesis Block was mined with its famous embedded Times headline. But how many of us know the date January 23, 2014? On that date, nine years ago this week, a 19-year-old named Vitalik Buterin posted a message on the BitcoinTalk forum titled “Welcome to the New...

Not long ago, Live Bitcoin News published an article talking about how poorly the Solana cryptocurrency was doing. The asset was crashing and burning likely due to its ties to the now fallen crypto exchange FTX and its disgraced head executive Sam Bankman-Fried, and while things aren’t fully looking up for the currency just yet, it’s garnering a heavy load of support from crypto developers such as Vitalik Buterin, the co-creator of popular crypto network Ethereum.

Grayscale – one of the largest bitcoin trusts in the world – says it’s not going to be sharing its proof of reserves with customers, causing a lot of heads to turn, eyebrows to hike, and fear to surge. Why Won’t Grayscale Spill the Beans? The concern amongst digital currency enthusiasts and analysts is that Grayscale is somehow not too far off the mark from where FTX stood.

FTX’s collapse has shaken the crypto market to the very core. But this isn’t the first time the space has experienced significant turmoil related to the failure of an exchange. The fall of Mt. Gox, an exchange that oversaw 80% of all Bitcoin trades back in February 2014, did likewise.
