This just isn't how the grid works. Texas has added more than double the amount of renewable energy than any other state grid in the last two years. These investments introduce variable production and require on-demand response to ke

Why do you care if this company wants to take on the hassle of converting the bitcoin to $ for the customer? It's an additional source of revenue for them.

I buy a house with a mortgage, I owe $1k a month or whatever to this company to pay my mortgage. If I pay with bitcoin it is a capital gains event to convert it to USD and I would owe capital gains taxes on the $1k per month or whatever my

The wash trading volume has nothing to do with tether (the trades are not even executing against the book in many cases, just reported as trades on the data feeds CMC consumes). Exchanges are using bots to wash trade back and forth on ever

Just a heads up, CoinMarketCap has been deliberately dragging its feet on addressing the issue of blatant wash trading to increase volume reported on some unregulated exchanges (especially some coming out of/focused on asian markets).

I don't think you should be allowed to make a one-liner comment "This is really cool!" and then follow it up with a 15 line copy-pasted sales pitch for a potentially competing product. That being said, it is refreshing to see

The very large spreads you see here are (usually) caused by some unexpected interruption to the usual stream of arbitrage trades. These unexpected interruptions could be anything from a temporary wallet maintenance to an overloaded exchang
