A revelation that sheds stark light on the structural flaws of a sector that is nonetheless accustomed to turbulence.

Far from being a weakness, the cap of 21 million units and the energy security of Bitcoin make it a colossus with feet of clay... only in appearance. If Bitcoin were to fail, no cryptocurrency would survive. Explanations.
In a constantly evolving crypto market, altcoins are often presented as innovative alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
