Crypto News n ° 2: Bitcoin is growing strawberries and thinking China
Contents
Bitcoin brings back its strawberry
In Quebec, the company Heatmine launched into recovering the heat emitted by cryptocurrency mining. She has developed a technology that redirects the heat that is released and makes real use of it rather than seeing it wasted for nothing. The company based in Lévis is therefore testing its predecessor on the operation of the Vegetable cellar, a local market gardener. Locked up outside in what looks like two large refrigerators, 63 processors mine virtual currencies 24 hours a day. A pipe system redirects heat inside the greenhouse to heat the soil. Results ? Quebecers will grow strawberries in winter! When will we see free heating in our cottages thanks to Bitcoin?
China ready to turn around?
Few months ago, the Chinese government has banned cryptocurrency mining on its territory. This is a great boon for the United States, which has recovered the miners and now represents 35% of the total computing power of the Bitcoin blockchain. Aware that this situation could resemble a loss of influence on the world stage, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) questions the merits of the directive. This is why the organization has posted on its official website a form to which entrepreneurs can respond until November 31. The NDRC will then analyze the responses and make the necessary decision. Are we going to see a back-pedaling of the country and the reopening of the much-maligned farms? It would not be a surprise because the initial decision of the ban seemed to us all a little arbitrary.
Withdrawal from public life
With the generalization of payment by bank card, paying with banknotes has become increasingly rare. So what about distributors of fiat money? They should gradually disappear or be recycled. We have indeed seen recently appear in many countries of new machines which allow, without effort and with storefront, to buy cryptocurrency without going through a service. Easy as pie. If France is still picking up with only 9 machines in France, other countries have taken the lead. 23,000 machines in the United States and 1,800 in Canada, these are the world champions. The United Kingdom, Austria and Spain complete the world top 5 but are far behind with a fleet of around 150 machines each.
On the American continent, we really believe in this new cryptocurrency economy since even Walmart, a distribution giant equivalent to our Leclerc, announced last week that 200 distributors Coinstar were now in service in their network. This pilot project, if it meets its audience, could be extended to other stores. Knowing that Walmart owns 4,700 in the country of Uncle Sam, it could be a big push for the democratization of cryptocurrencies in the wallets of Mr. and Mrs. Everyone.
Basically, on your shopping list, you’ll have butter, crisps, sausage, bread, and crypto.

Crypto and bullion evening!
When someone already detained is in addition taken into custody by the cybergendarmes of the North, we feel the matter a little fishy. In prison for a road story, the man is today suspected of tax evasion. He and his wife led the good life without really being able to justify it by the income they declared. Already owners of several properties, it was found 10 kg of gold bars as well as 250 gold and silver coins during a search of their home. Finally, and this is the subject that interests us at the start, the spouses were also fans of cryptocurrencies since they had it for nearly 1.5 million euros. Kings of business or heavy-handed laundry launderers? If you are wondering, there is nothing more we can do for you.
