Blockchain and Bitcoin

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

good reads; :thumb:

“Blockchain” is one of those words that has the power to confuse even the smartest people. And the media is completely clueless about how this
technology actually works.

It's quite informative, but also a one-sided story.

Currently a lot of people believe the block-chain will change the world because no third party is needed for the transaction, but they forget to tell the other side: keeping track of the block-chain is a very (power)intensive task. Currently the people providing this (computer)power for the bitcoin are rewarded with new bitcoins, but there will be a time there are no more bitcoins to mine. Or there will be ways of using the block-chain where there's no gain like that. Who is going to do it then? People providing the service of maintaining the block-chain at that time need to paid, by the user, just like you pay for an intermediary now..... And since maintaining a block-chain is much more (power) intensive than handling just one transaction I don't see the block-chain kicking off that fast, replacing intermediaries.
