The Ethereum network is abuzz lately, and while the price of ETH certainly contributes to the hype, it’s not the only factor. An astonishing $91 billion is currently staked on the network. But this is not just a tale of whales hiding crypto. It’s the only way to get ready,...

Put aside all your preconceived notions about Bitcoin mining. The narrative peddled by mainstream media – giant warehouses guzzling electricity – is dangerously incomplete, and frankly, designed to keep you out.
