According to an Institute of Risk Management report, Bitcoin might be a catalyst for the global energy transition.
According to a research from the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), Bitcoin may serve as a catalyst for a worldwide energy shift. IRM Energy and Renewables Group members Dylan Campbell and Alexander Larsen wrote the report, “Bitcoin and the Energy Transition: From Risk to Opportunity.” They suggested that although being viewed as a danger because of its energy usage, BTC can also catalyse energy change and result in fresh approaches to the world’s energy problems. The authors emphasised the crucial role that energy plays as well as the growing demand for dependable, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly energy sources. By highlighting…
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, has requested his release; however, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has maintained the decision to refuse his request. This choice was made in response to an appeal by Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) legal counsel, which was principally motivated by First Amendment issues. These arguments, however, did not persuade the court. It strengthens SBF’s ongoing incarceration as he deals with legal issues. A New York district court previously turned down his plea for temporary parole so that he may review crucial papers in advance of his October 3 trial. In a separate decision,…

Some reports claim that Consensys is dropping Ganache and Truffle, two essential Ethereum frameworks, in favour of Metamask Snaps and SDK. Truffle and Ganache, which were crucial in the early development of Ethereum smart contracts, have received praise from several developers. The “sunset” of the two products was defined as the end of an era in the Consensys release from September 22.

At the time of Consensys’s acquisition in 2020, 1.3…
The $27 million split in Nouns DAO reveals tensions between profit-seeking traders and blockchain idealists.
Nouns DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), suffered a devastating split that cost it $27 million in cryptocurrency out of its $50 million fund. It happened because of the tense dynamic between the DAO’s profit-driven traders and blockchain idealists. The Nouns DAO community, notable for paying $90,000 on the name rights for a rare frog, split, with a number of dissident investors “forking” from the main body. A DAO functions in a similar way to a typical business, but it strives for greater decentralization and, ultimately, no centralized leadership. Anyone who buys an NFT from a DAO receives a vote…

Changes in Bank of Japan policy could have an effect on cryptocurrencies and international markets.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) may lead to large changes in the global market flows, which might have an effect on cryptocurrencies, claims CoinDesk. The unknown policy direction of the BOJ, in the opinion of volatility trader Gryphon Ardern from the crypto asset management company Blofin, increases the likelihood that it would shock the market beyond expectations. In order to guide short-term interest rates at minus 0.1% and the yield on 10-year government bonds at about 0%, the BOJ has been using yield curve control (YCC) since 2016. With the addition of trillions of dollars in new global liquidity and…

Chinese-born customers with multiple citizenships are being scrutinised more closely by Singaporean institutions.
Following a recent crackdown on money laundering, Singaporean banks have increased their examination of Chinese-born clientele who have dual citizenships. The crackdown, which covered assets worth over $1.8 billion, has made lenders more cautious. Accounts owned by clients who are citizens of nations like Cambodia, Cyprus, Turkey, and Vanuatu are being closed by several multinational banks. On a case-by-case basis, other lenders decide whether to take new funds from customers with comparable profiles. Singapore’s attempts to improve its anti-money laundering system include these initiatives. The crackdown started after 10 affluent people of Chinese descent were detained and charged in August.…

Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has once more stated his support for bitcoin (BTC), gold, and silver. According to him, the amount of these assets that investors currently own is more significant than concerns about the future pricing of those assets. Kiyosaki recommends consumers to get BTC, gold, and silver now while they are still at discount rates because they might not be as accessible in the future. The American businessman claims that the country’s dire financial situation and the impending crash in stocks, bonds, and real estate are the reasons he is investing in these assets. Since…
Author’s Guild Sues OpenAI in a Class-Action Lawsuit for Copyright Violations
The Author’s Guild in the United States filed a class-action complaint against OpenAI, funded by Microsoft, on September 19, alleging exploitation of copyrighted content during the training of its artificial intelligence (AI) models, according to Cointelegraph. The lawsuit asserts that OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs) flagrantly and harmfully violated registered copyrights in fictional works by copying works verbatim without authorization or compensation. The Author’s Guild, representing a group of paid fiction writers, contends that the LLMs jeopardise fiction writers’ ability to support themselves through their artistic endeavours. The group asserts that AI models might have been created using items in…
The use of copyrighted material to train an AI model llama is denied by Meta.
Reports says that Meta has refuted claims that its artificial intelligence (AI) model Llama was developed using content that was protected by copyright from well-known novels.

The parent corporation of Facebook and Instagram claimed that using materials to train its systems constituted “fair use” and was “transformative.” Meta compared their situation to Authors Guild v. Google, Inc., where fair use was established for Google’s…

Companies working in the digital sector, particularly those providing access to virtual worlds like the Metaverse, will be required to carry out extensive risk assessments under the requirements of the Online Privacy Bill. These evaluations will determine how likely it is that children will come…
