SMART CONTRACTS

Yes, Bitcoin Is A Smart Contract Platform
By Shinobi

Many think that smart contracts are only executable on overly-complex blockchains. But bitcoin is a smart contract platform by definition. A smart contract was a term coined by Nick Szabo in 1996, before blockchain was even a thing in Satoshi's eye. The intention of a smart contract is, or was, to simply take conventional legal contracts and enforce them outside of the scope of governmental jurisdiction in the software and hardware realm.

Szasbo's definition of smart contracts must contain four fundamental properties:

  • Observabiliy
  • Verifiability
  • Privity
  • Enforceability
This makes bitcoin, in essence, a smart contract. As a transaction occurs, the sender acts as an oracle, claiming the ability to spend money and providing proof via a digital signature. The receiver and every single participant observe the transaction propagating through the network and verify the correctness of it. The miner takes the role of a central authority by executing the smart contract by including the transaction in a block. Ultimately the receiver and the entire network, verify the correctness of every signature and contract witnessed in the block.

HASHRATE

Wyoming Aiming For 5% Of The U.S. Bitcoin Mining Hashrate By Next Halvening
By Amanda Cavaleri

Wyoming is on a mission to house 5% of the U.S. bitcoin mining hash rate by the next halving in May 2024, an objective that goes hand in hand with the state's strengths and aligns well with economic development and job creation goals.

The current main economic activity in Wyoming is driven by energy and minerals. As a proud energy producer and exporter, the state has realize that they have the excess energy production and capacity to focus on bitcoin mining and further develop the state's economic development.

To achieve the current objective before 2024, it would mean that the hash rate would need to increase 10-fold in order to contribute 5% of the U.S. hash power, but luckily for them this will be a joint effort promoted by the government and university integrating further into the Bitcoin ecosystem.

DARK MATTER

Bitcoin And Dark Matter
By Alex McShane


In another issue from The Center Cannot Hold, the author argues that bitcoin is similar to dark matter. Dark matter is hypothesized to account for 85% of our universe's matter and about a quarter of the universe's matter/energy density, all while it can't be seen. As popular as dark matter is, it is not widely understood and even as it is an undeniable phenomena in physics at this point, its full definition is yet to be discovered.

Bitcoin turns out to be similar, just as dark matter — its effects on people and their economies are not well understood. Bitcoin has a great effect on individuals by providing private property to many who have not had any before. For the first time it provides an unforgeable energy conversion, along with a terminal supply cap and a programmed supply issuance, making it the dominant kind of monetary system, just as dark matter is the dominant kind of matter.

Its effects on society, human psychology and economic affairs are yet to be discovered, but it is undeniable that so far it has brought hope to communities and individuals across the world.
