A lot was said about the Bitcoin ecosystem being left behind in the game when the Etheruem blockchain transitioned into an eco-friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) mining model last year. While Bitcoin has managed to maintain its hegemony in the crypto kingdom, the Bitcoin blockchain ecosystem still has a margin to compete with the likes of other popular blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has decided to pledge $5 million (roughly Rs. 41 crore) to support the development of the overall Bitcoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Dorsey’s<\/a> grant-making organisation called Start Small will be wiring yearly amount of $1 million (roughly Rs. 8 crore) to Brink, a Bitcoin-focussed non-profit organisation over the period of five years, a report<\/a> by CryptoPotato said.<\/p>\n Bitcoin<\/a> is a promising \u201ctruly censorship resistant\u201d technology, Dorsey had said in a recent tweet earlier this week.<\/p>\n Bitcoin, unlike many other blockchains<\/a>, is not headed by one founder, foundation, or organisation with a financial stake. Charity and donations directed towards Bitcoin developers help them maintain and advance its codebase.<\/p>\n The Bitcoin blockchain is public. Despite the anonymity of the users, all transactions on the network are accessible to the public, making it difficult to hack or cheat the system.<\/p>\n Decentralised in nature, the Bitcoin network is distributed and has thousands of nodes all over the world that keep track of all transactions being initiated on the system. This reportedly<\/a> ensures that in case something goes wrong on one server, there are others to pick up the slack. Hacking into any one server is pointless.<\/p>\n Previously also, Dorsey has donated funds to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n In 2021, Dorsey along with singer, rapper Jay-Z initiated a trust fund to propagate Bitcoin development in India and South Africa. The trust fund was worth BTC 500 or $13 million (roughly Rs. 110 crore).<\/p>\n In fact, last year, the former Twitter<\/a> chief also launched a fund to help BTC developers deal with lawsuits.<\/p>\n Brink, meanwhile, was founded in 2020 with generous financial support from John Pfeffer and Wences Casares<\/p>\n \u201cBrink exists to strengthen the Bitcoin protocol and network through fundamental research and development, and to support the Bitcoin developer community through funding, education, and mentoring,\u201d the official website<\/a> of Brink says about itself.<\/p>\n Funded 100 percent by donations and BTC enthusiasts, Brink aims to support and mentor new contributors to open-source Bitcoin development through its fellowship program.<\/p>\n As of now, Bitcoin developers have not said if they are looking to transition Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work mining model into a more energy efficient PoS mode.<\/p>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] A lot was said about the Bitcoin ecosystem being left behind in the game when the Etheruem blockchain transitioned into an eco-friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) mining model last year.
