A rare "CryptoPunk" non-fungible token (NFT) sold for $11.8 million on Thursday at Sotheby's. "The Hash" team discusses the sale as part of a larger conversation about the demand and future of NFTs.
-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst NFTs' fad ended some time ago, but they continue to grow as part of the digital economy of the 4th IR. Those who dismissed NFTs as a temporal thing are wrong. The demand will grow, and in fact it will go beyond what is Art to many other fields. We can just wonder about the next future on this issue.

How Soil Could Be An Untapped Source Of Electricity-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst While it's irreal to end fuel fossil economy by 2050, as many country plan, there are alternatives which can help in many ways to diminish that dependence and open new avenues to heal the world while allowing humans to develop the economy and society. This is not an original idea, but only now the actual technology start give impressing results.

U.S. recently faced a series of ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure like the Colonial Pipeline, the city of Tulsa, and JBS, the worlds largest meat producer. Ransomware, a program that hackers use to hold digital information hostage, has become the top choice of malware for criminals. In 2020, the total amount of ransom paid by the victims reached nearly $350 million worth of cryptocurrency, most of them in bitcoin. So what led to the rise of ransomware in the U.S. and what makes it so difficult to fight?
The May 7 ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline “is probably the most significant ransomware attack on one of our critical infrastructures ever,” said Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y. And shortly after the pipeline was hit, the U.S. faced more ransomware attacks — targeting cities, ferries and even a meat plant.
“Although ransomware has really been around since 2013, it has not yet been seriously taken in terms of something that could impact critical infrastructure,” said Vanessa Pegueros, chief trust and security officer at OneLogin.
Ransomware, a program that hackers use to hold digital information hostage, has become the top choice of malware for criminals in recent years. In 2020, the total amount of ransom paid by victims reached nearly $350 million worth of cryptocurrency, a 311% increase compared with the previous year, according to Chainalysis.
“Over the last two years, it’s well into the millions, hundreds of millions of dollars from victims that we’ve come across,” said Marc Bleicher, managing director at Arete Incident Response.
Ransomware has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. A majority of the ransom paid is shared among a relatively small number of highly organized groups of criminals with names such as Evil Corp. or DarkSide. According to Chainalysis, 199 deposit addresses received 80% of all ransoms paid in 2020, while an even smaller group, 25 addresses, accounted for nearly half.
These groups have become increasingly bold, showing off bundles of cash and fancy sports cars. That’s because tracking, arresting and bringing these hackers to justice is often incredibly difficult.
“A lot of these organizations are allowed to essentially operate freely within Russia or other former Soviet states as long as they don’t hit anybody within that country,” Bleicher said. “So unless there’s a cooperation at the political level there, I don’t see this going away anytime soon.”
The Colonial Pipeline incident sent shockwaves across the oil industry and the U.S. government, alerting them to the severity of cybersecurity concerns.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order to strengthen U.S. cybersecurity defenses, while House lawmakers rolled out a bill to invest $500 million in state and local cybersecurity in May.
But there remains a lot more work to be done, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure. Roughly 85% of America’s critical infrastructure is privately owned, and the private sector is not required to follow the strict cybersecurity guidelines set by the government.
“We’ve got electric grids in this country, we have water systems, we have pipelines. We have a lot of critical infrastructure that is really open to some of these ransomware attacks and cyberattacks,” said Katko. “And we need to do a much better job than that.”
When it comes to the future of ransomware attacks, experts agree: It is far from over.
“The amount of impact it’s going to continue to have will grow, and I think the amount of money to be made will continue to grow,” Pegueros said. “I don’t know where that will peak out, and I don’t know if it’s just going to morph into something even more dangerous and scary. It’s hard to say. But I don’t think we’re at the peak yet.”

How Cryptocurrency Is Driving The Ransomware Boom in The U.S.-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst A Cyber war is already happening, and not only from criminal gangs. Bad actors may include governments too, with their own geopolitical goals. This will probably get worse before being better, as this decade is frail with uncertainty and all kind of dangers. We need to get ready both as society and individually to fight this.

The world is entering a new era of warfare, with cyber and autonomous weapons taking center stage. These technologies are making militaries faster, smarter, more efficient. But if unchecked, they threaten to destabilize the world.
DW takes a deep dive into the future of conflict, uncovering an even more volatile world. Where a cyber intrusion against a nuclear early warning system can unleash a terrifying spiral of escalation; where “flash wars” can erupt from autonomous weapons interacting so fast that no human could keep up.
Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tells DW that we have already entered the technological arms race that is propelling us towards this future. “We’re right in the middle of it. That’s the reality we have to deal with.”
And yet the world is failing to meet the challenge. Talks on controlling autonomous weapons have repeatedly been stalled by major powers seeking to carve out their own advantage. And cyber conflict has become not just a fear of the future but a permanent state of affairs.
DW finds out what must happen to steer the world in a safer direction, with leading voices from the fields of politics, diplomacy, intelligence, academia, and activism speaking out.

In just over a decade, Bitcoin has turned from an idea into one of the most talked-about financial assets.
El Salvador's president is planning to make his country the first to accept Bitcoin as legal tender.
But as some countries embrace cryptocurrencies, others are cracking down because of its use by criminal gangs.
So what does the future hold for digital money?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst BTC can be trusted to do what it meant to do from the beginning. Changing it into just a speculative tool or in other rapid ways to get profit is not what BTC is, and it will lead to failure. So everything will depend on what we do with it, and the evolution of crypto itself.

Peter Tchir, head of macro strategy at Academy Securities, explains why he thinks it's time to pause on bitcoin. He also discusses the U.S. Senate's passage of an expansive bill to invest almost $250 billion in bolstering U.S. manufacturing and technology to meet the economic and strategic challenge from China. He speaks with with Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on "Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia."
-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Time to pause in BTC? Ask El Salvador. But there is some right in that opinion. It's time to again rethink what crypto means in a digital economy. It shouldn't be a casino or a "rich profit" scheme. It should be at the core of a digital economy. If should evolve into Crypto.2, like Internet did.

If you're a fan of shipping container homes, then this is a video tour you won't want to miss! In this weeks episode we meet Rosie, who has constructed an incredible off-the-grid home out of five 20ft shipping containers.
Rosie's home is situated in the middle of a spectacular conservation block and her beautiful modern shipping container home has been wonderfully designed to take full advantage of the beautiful surrounding landscape.
Best of all, this home is completely off the grid, with solar power, rainwater collection and even a vermi-composting toilet, meaning she will never need to see another power or water bill again.
We hope you enjoy the full tour of this brilliant shipping container home.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst In the current environmental, political, economic landscape, be compliant with energy use and reduce carbon foot print, Bitcoin mining results a loser proposition. Of course, most industries operate even more carbon for print bills, but this doesn't mean we should accept crypto mining as it is now. It should operate in better ways. Good that crypto mining can be anywhere anyway. In order not to be hypocrites, though, NY administration should also not accept BTC from anywhere while energy consumption and emissions are high. It reminds us of rare earth mining. Rare Earth minerals are everywhere, but its mining is very polluting and harmful, so western countries avoid it, allowing some African countries or China do the dirty world, and Western countries benefit from the tech working thanks to these rear elements.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The world is changing and not everything signs for best. Some moves, like El Salvador passing that BTC be national currency and other Latin American countries exploring to do the same is a bold (and dangerous?) one. Geopolitical changes are happening and sides are being drawn in the middle of an always delicate transition to a new social, economical, financial, political paradigm.

Bitcoin’s bad week could be a sign of trouble ahead as analysts see the potential for the cryptocurrency to fall to $20,000 on further weakness. Bloomberg MLive’s Eddie van der Walt explains.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Having seen different forecasts today, some saying BTC could go to 50K some like this dropping to 20k or less, it's interesting how many opinions are there. All sides post their reasons why, and all dismiss the opposite opinions as FUD or just irrational imagination. What should we do? Watching them all, and precisely use our common sense and rational thinking, to make safer decisions.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst China, again, has its own plans about crypto, and the digital road. We should remember they already launched their own State digital coin and they have a huge internal market for it, all around the topic of a capitalism of surveillance to control better their own population. We suppose this will over soon but maybe it's a sign of what could happen later in a stronger way.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst BTC has been the past and the present of crypto. Will it be also the future? For many, yes. For others, it will be the Netscape of crypto. It will exists but other better crypto will appear. And the market needs to change. It's extremely difficult to foresee what is going to happen next week, even more next quarter.

The bitcoin hashrate tumbles amid more crypto mining operations in China shutting down. The country's Qinghai province is the latest to announce a new crypto ban, following Xinjiang and inner Mongolia. Darin Feinstein of Blockcap, one of North America's largest miners, weighs in.
-
Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst China regularly shuts down crypto mining operations, and this happening in a bear market and a strong debate on what is happening with BTC makes its more worthy. BTC miners however, don't care very much they just go on when they can and they have the chance. Also this is a call to globally distribute crypto mining with better environmental structures.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Sober and real, cyber wars and military tech are already here, a veritable revolution in warfare which can't be stopped. This is specially dangerous when massive destruction is in hands of automatised war machines, autonomous weapons and AIs. Things can go suddenly wrong, with humans, all, being the losers. Is this what we want?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Interesting development. The Bitcoin ledger showing transactions and movements is always available to those who understand, even if the BTC involved themselves not, so agencies like FBI can always try to get the bad actors on the game. This is what could have happened here. Maybe it's also a warning to other bad actors.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Even if not all the BTC involved were recovered, this is a good step to counterattack digital criminals. To underline: the blockchain, which can't be altered, shows in the Bitcoin ledger all crypto transactions, making them traceable thus giving a way for security agencies to close on criminals. The usual: criminals using new tools, security counterattacking them, and the fight continues with more new tools and counter tools.
