1. Jack Dorsey’s tweet on developing hardware wallet for bitcoin

Jack Dorsey, CEO of digital payments firm Square, tweeted on the company’s plans to develop a hardware wallet for bitcoin. The company plans to develop the wallet from open source software and hardware in collaboration with the community. The wallet is expected to be an inclusive product that provides a non-custodial solution to the global market.

Dorsey added that the product will be mobile friendly and provide a superior experience despite the limitations and liabilities associated with mobile phones. Security will be a key issue in such cases, but this can be addressed by combining availability and security. Dorsey noted that some funds that customers want to quickly access can be made available with phone-only permissions, while others can be placed under more secure controls.

2. Elon Musk’s tweet on bitcoin being highly centralised

Elon Musk, CEO of aerospace company SpaceX and automotive company Tesla, tweeted on how bitcoin is highly centralised with majority being controlled by big mining or hashing companies. He shared an article on how flooding and shut down of a coal mine in the Xinjiang region of China led to 35% drop in bitcoin hash rate.

The decline in hash rate led to a 14% drop in the price of the cryptocurrency and triggered a sharp decline in the network’s ability to handle transactions. The Xinjiang region is considered to be one of the primary locations for mining bitcoin as the shutdown of the coal mine halted one third of bitcoin’s global computing power. The coal mine incident highlights the dominance of China in bitcoin mining and raises security concerns, the article added.
