For The Music Industry Cryptocurrency Will Be As Disruptive As MTV
A former MTV exec reflects on how crypto is shaking up the music industry in ways reminiscent of a certain game-changing video network born in 1981.
When it launched 40 years ago, on August 1, 1981, MTV signaled a new era where artists forged deeper connections with fans through music videos, on-air interviews, live performances, and contests. While there’s been tremendous change in every aspect of the music industry since I’d argue that nothing has sparked the same outpouring from fans and reshaped how artists connect with their followers quite like MTV did.
Until now, with cryptocurrency.
We are just starting to see artists of all levels experiment with their own cryptocurrencies to tap into new revenue streams and deeper fan engagement. Performers are embracing it as an alternative to the big tech-owned social media platforms that have been profiting from their labor over the past decade. And much like MTV’s early years, cryptocurrency has the same independent game-changing spirit to shake up the system and the potential to massively shift pop culture. Read More

Ethereum Transition to ETH2 Gets a Formal Improvement Proposal
EIP-3675 puts the network one step closer to Ethereum 2.0. That doesn't mean it's coming right away.
Ethereum developers have long been planning to transition the blockchain to a more energy-efficient, secure, and scalable network.
They now have an official Ethereum Improvement Proposal to work with.
ConsenSys researcher Mikhail Kalinin has created a pull request for EIP-3675, which would upgrade the blockchain's consensus mechanism to proof of stake, a system that allows people to validate transactions and create new blocks based on how much ETH they contribute. The current proof-of-work system instead relies on "miners," who compete to be the first to validate transactions. Read More
