Blockstream launches BITCOIN Mining hash Rate token Blockstream has announced the launch of Blockstream Mining Note, a Liquid-based security token that tokenizes its bitcoin mining hash rate. Today, Bitcoin infrastructure firm Blockstream **announced** the launch of a Liquid-based security token called Blockstream Mining Note (BMN), envisioned as a way to give investors exposure to Bitcoin mining. https://blockstream.com/financial/bmn “Each BMN token entitles investors to hash rate produced by Bitcoin miners at Blockstream’s colocation facilities around the globe,” according to a Blockstream press release shared with *Bitcoin Magazine*. “The BMN allows investors to mitigate risk beyond the scope of a traditional investment in physical mining infrastructure by more easily adjusting their exposure to Bitcoin mining by packaging mining in a tradable token.” BMN will be offered through the EU-based security token marketplace STOKR in a series of fungible tranches. The first tranche will go on sale on April 9, open to non-U.S., qualified investors with a minimum investment of roughly $235,000 (200,000 euro). The offering is meant to give these investors exposure to bitcoin mining without the need to run their own infrastructure. As bitcoin the financial asset becomes more attractive to institutional investors, exposure to the critical practice of mining is doubtlessly growing more popular as well. “The BMN leverages our extensive experience in the Bitcoin mining space and offers investors up-front, fixed rates with improved tradability,” said Adam Back, Blockstream’s CEO, per the release. “By expanding investor participation in Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, the BMN also strengthens Bitcoin’s security and censorship resistance. It’s a win-win.” TAGSSECURITY TOKENSBITCOIN MININGBLOCKSTREAM https://bitcoinmagazine.com/tags/security-tokens https://bitcoinmagazine.com/tags/bitcoin-mining https://bitcoinmagazine.com/tags/blockstream BY  PETER CHAWAGA https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/peter-chawaga **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business BLOCKSTREAM BUYS $25 MILLION OF BITCOIN MINING HARDWARE FROM MICROBT BY PETER CHAWAGA https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/peter-chawaga JAN 27, 2021 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business SEETEE PARTNERS WITH BLOCKSTREAM FOR BITCOIN MINING DEVELOPMENT BY OLUWAPELUMI ADEJUMO https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/oluwapelumi-adejumo MAR 9, 2021 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business F2POOL PREDICTS BITCOIN MINING “SHUTDOWN PRICE” BUT HASH RATE STEADY BY 8BTC https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/8btc OCT 2, 2019 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business BLOCKSTREAM MINING: A GRASSROOTS VISION FOR REDISTRIBUTING HASHRATE BY COLIN HARPER https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/colin-harper AUG 12, 2019 **TECHNICAL** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical BLOCKSTREAM ADDS SIX MEMBERS TO LIQUID FEDERATION BY PETER CHAWAGA https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/peter-chawaga JAN 11, 2021 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business HASHING AHEAD: A LOOK AT BITCOIN MINING IN 2020 BY JESSIE WILLMS https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/jessie-willms DEC 30, 2019 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business TITAN ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN BITCOIN MINING POOL BY PETER CHAWAGA https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/peter-chawaga DEC 3, 2020 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business BITCOIN HASH RATE HEADING TO 100 EH/S: HOW PRICE, HALVING AND SECURITY ARE INVOLVED BY 8BTC https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/8btc OCT 2, 2019 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business WITH 4.3 MILLION BITCOIN MINING MACHINES, HASH RATE TO HIT 120 E BY 2020 BY 8BTC https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/8btc SEP 23, 2019 **TECHNICAL** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical BLOCKSTREAM RELEASES FIRST ENTERPRISE-GRADE PRODUCT ON LIQUID BY COLIN HARPER https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/colin-harper MAY 15, 2019 **CULTURE** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture MALTA STOCK EXCHANGE AND BINANCE TO LAUNCH TOKENS PLATFORM BY JIMMY AKI https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/jimmy-aki SEP 11, 2018 **BUSINESS** https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business BITMAIN’S ANTMINER 17 SOLD OUT IN MINUTES.

What weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers? You might think that this is a trick science trivia question. But, if you guessed that they weigh the same, you’re wrong. A pound of feathers weighs more. Why? Gold is weighed in the troy measurement system. Therefore, when you convert them both to a uniform system, a pound of gold weighs approximately 373.24 grams and a pound of feathers approximately 453.59 grams.

What mountain peak is farthest from the center of the Earth? Many may think the answer to this science trivia question is Mount Everest. However, the peak of Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest from the center of the earth. Why? The earth actually bulges at the equator because it’s constantly spinning. Since Chimborazo sits on top of the equator and right on this bulge, its peak is the furthest from the earth’s core. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain if you measure it from base to peak, but its peak is not the furthest from the center of the earth.

Opinion Idea. Suppose there is a 3rd world country with a very high inflation rate. What if we pick a village or a small town with maybe 10000 inhabitants and start some kind of airdrop. Could that be the start of an economic cycle? People would learn how to use bitcoin cash and that bch is stable compared to their own currency and they could use it for everyday purchases. This could become a lighthouse project, perhaps the start of a grassroots movement.
