So what is the carbon footprint of NFTs?
The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBEI), housed in the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, UK, has been tracking Bitcoin since 2019. In its most recent findings published in May 2021, the CBEI reported that Bitcoin mining currently consumes 133,68 terawatt hours a year of electricity – consistently rising year each year from when this research began. Similar studies into the carbon footprint of Ethereum produce similar results. Digiconomist estimates a sin...

But, the backlash has already begun. The amount of energy “wasted” in generating NFTs is a very serious issue currently doing the rounds. If using energy to produce cryptocurrency is seen as wasteful, then expending large amounts of energy to create NFTs of low-resolution cartoon JPGs sounds positively frivolous. A sort of let them eat cake moment in crypto history. This is why it is good to seek out educators who can balance the rhetoric, to counter the inbuilt prejudice or sheer misinformat...

e biggest barriers to entry for new DeFi users is probably high gas fees. What is Minterest doing to mitigate this?
And as you stand surveying the debris of his day in kindergarten with the other parents giving you the evil eye and the Montessori teacher sadly shaking her head, you cannot wait for that day to come soon enough. So, in crypto, one step forward is the introduction of nonfungible tokens, or NFTs. Finally, something that everyone — including your non-tech or finance friends — can get their teeth into and understand. I listened to a radio program yesterday where during the weekly film roundup a ...

what are some expected yields from passing off those revenues to u
Well, what happens is, the answer is I don’t know [laughs]. It’s very difficult for me to forecast that kind of thing. But when you think about this very type of headline, if you are looking at some of the value captures of the sector, it’s measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. But what’s interesting is that when you look at lending protocols, generally there is no correlation between the supply of liquidity and lending activity and the token price. So, the value of the token is no...
