Mining real Bitcoin is increasingly out of reach for the average person, with the industry dominated by massive firms running warehouses full of super-powered computers. But there’s a popular iOS and Android game that turns the act into an amusing diversion—and pays you small bits of real Bitcoin just for tapping your phone screen. Bitcoin Miner is a simple game that lets you fake-mine an array of popular cryptocurrencies, including BTC, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana—and rack up real satoshis, aka the smallest denomination of Bitcoin, all the while. And yes, you can withdraw the Bitcoin to a wallet and really…

Alongside Rose and Ohanian, Justin Mezzell—the former COO of Rose’s Moonbirds company Proof, and the artist behind that prominent collection—will join the new Digg as CEO. Digg: Old Rivals,…

Rumors of an exchange traded fund (ETF) tracking the top NFT collections have started to swirl, stemming from a post on social media made by Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz. But ETF issuers and market experts told Decrypt it is unlikely that such a fund is imminent due to traditional investors thinking NFTs are “nonsense.” With a U.S. crypto reserve rumored to be on the horizon following an announcement from President Trump, NFT enthusiasts started to question if an NFT reserve could ever be a possibility.
