Jared Polis, the Governor of Colorado, stated in an ETHDenver<\/a> talk that Colorado will accept state taxes and fees in cryptocurrency by the summer of 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polis stated the reason for utilizing crypto payments was for faster payment speed and user convenience. The state is still looking for companies to handle the actual transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t be holding those assets in that form, but we will have a layer that accepts payment in those forms and then conversion into the units that we use, which is dollars, for budgeting and payments...but as a matter of convenience for the public, we will be accepting first for taxes and then for many different fees and services by this summer.\u201d <\/strong><\/em><\/p>Jared Polis, ETHDenver<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips is predicted to save a lot of revenue from such limiting where things can go wrong, while increasing revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, rescue its carbon footprint in partnership with the Bitcoin miner.

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips is predicted to save a lot of revenue from such limiting where things can go wrong, while increasing revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, rescue its carbon footprint in partnership with the Bitcoin miner.

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips is predicted to save a lot of revenue from such limiting where things can go wrong, while increasing revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, rescue its carbon footprint in partnership with the Bitcoin miner.

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value.

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Reserve has put new rules in place on its staff. They will not be allowed to trade a group of assets including stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Dogecoin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value. But fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","post_title":"Dogecoin To Be Accepted As Payment At Tesla Superchargers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dogecoin-to-be-accepted-as-payment-at-tesla-superchargers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-11 12:54:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-11 02:54:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3521","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3518,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-02-19 23:27:34","post_date_gmt":"2022-02-19 12:27:34","post_content":"\n

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla will begin accepting Dogecoin<\/a> as a payment method at Tesla Supercharging Stations as per a tweet<\/a> from Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Dogecoin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value. But fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","post_title":"Dogecoin To Be Accepted As Payment At Tesla Superchargers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dogecoin-to-be-accepted-as-payment-at-tesla-superchargers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-11 12:54:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-11 02:54:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3521","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3518,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-02-19 23:27:34","post_date_gmt":"2022-02-19 12:27:34","post_content":"\n

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of burning off their excess gas, they've sold it to a Bitcoin processor for use. Although the company has not disclosed the bitcoin miner behind the business deal or terms of the project yet. The decision supports the companies objective of eliminating routine flaring by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas production companies have often been forced to burn excess gas when problems occur to the transmission pipelines, in turn revenue drops along with the fact this poses a danger to wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips is predicted to save a lot of revenue from such limiting where things can go wrong, while increasing revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, rescue its carbon footprint in partnership with the Bitcoin miner.

The Federal Reserve has put new rules in place on its staff. They will not be allowed to trade a group of assets including stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value.

The Federal Reserve has put new rules in place on its staff. They will not be allowed to trade a group of assets including stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Dogecoin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value.

Why Dogecoin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk is an avid supporter of Dogecoin, although it was started as a \"joke\"<\/a>. It has gained a lot of traction over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why Elon Musk has decided to utilize Dogecoin over an overall better cryptocurrency like Bitcoin from a technical aspect. Here's a statement Elon made after an interview with Time Magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction value of Bitcoin is low, and the cost per transaction is high. Therefore, at least at a space level, it is suitable as a store of value. But fundamentally, Bitcoin is not a good substitute for transactional currency.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","post_title":"Dogecoin To Be Accepted As Payment At Tesla Superchargers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dogecoin-to-be-accepted-as-payment-at-tesla-superchargers","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-11 12:54:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-11 02:54:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3521","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3518,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-02-19 23:27:34","post_date_gmt":"2022-02-19 12:27:34","post_content":"\n

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips, the world's largest independent oil and natural gas production company will start selling their excess gas to Bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CNBC report<\/a> states the company has started a pilot project in Bakken, North Dakota where oil reserves are rich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFT Platform, Neon<\/a>, has launched the first NFT vending machine in the world in New York City's Financial District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine accepts both debit and credit cards, before dispensing a box with a QR code inside. This QR code is technically your NFT, all you have to do is scan it through Neon's App. Once scanned the NFT will show up in your digital wallet, although the wallet is not required to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Birnholtz, CMO and co-founder of Neon states that \u201cwhile only 2% of Americans have digital wallets, 80% have a credit card or debit card,\u201d adding that \u201cNeon started with fiat because our mission is unique, to bring digital art and collecting to the largest possible audience,\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"World's First NFT Vending Machine Launched In NYC","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"worlds-first-nft-vending-machine-launched-in-nyc","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-02-23 19:11:57","post_modified_gmt":"2022-02-23 08:11:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3564","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3561,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-02-23 18:44:52","post_date_gmt":"2022-02-23 07:44:52","post_content":"\n

A vending machine in New York has launched and it sells nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFT Platform, Neon<\/a>, has launched the first NFT vending machine in the world in New York City's Financial District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine accepts both debit and credit cards, before dispensing a box with a QR code inside. This QR code is technically your NFT, all you have to do is scan it through Neon's App. Once scanned the NFT will show up in your digital wallet, although the wallet is not required to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why A Vending Machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to make NFTs more accessible to the public Neon\u2019s machine doesn\u2019t require any cryptocurrency. This allows for the public to buy an NFT without having to sign up prior to doing so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchasing an NFT can be a daunting task to those not familiar with Web 3 and Blockchain. Neon hopes to \"bring digital art and collecting to the largest possible audience\". An NFT vending machine is surely one way to attract a lot of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Birnholtz, CMO and co-founder of Neon states that \u201cwhile only 2% of Americans have digital wallets, 80% have a credit card or debit card,\u201d adding that \u201cNeon started with fiat because our mission is unique, to bring digital art and collecting to the largest possible audience,\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"World's First NFT Vending Machine Launched In NYC","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"worlds-first-nft-vending-machine-launched-in-nyc","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-02-23 19:11:57","post_modified_gmt":"2022-02-23 08:11:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=3564","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3561,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-02-23 18:44:52","post_date_gmt":"2022-02-23 07:44:52","post_content":"\n

Local media in India reported that 11 have been arrested, in links to a 5-year scam that cheated investors out of almost US$5.4M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four<\/a> of the accused were apprehended on Saturday after being on the run since March last year. Seven<\/a> others were caught on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
