BRICS Expansion Could Dethrone Europe, Warns France’s Macron

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, cautioned the U.S. and Europe, saying that the world order is changing after the BRICS expansion. Macron warned that the new BRICS alliance could weaken the West and Europe and turn the tides in their favor. He added that the global financial situation is getting “tougher” as BRICS countries become more “complex” to trade with.

France settled an LNG gas trade with China in March by paying the Chinese Yuan and not the US dollar. BRICS members China, Russia, and India are convincing other countries to ditch the US dollar and settle payments in local currencies. The development could hamper the prospects of the US and the West in general tilting financial power to developing nations.

“Our international order is being challenged,” stressed Macron. He highlighted that several countries are creating trade policies fueled by anti-colonialism. “War has returned to European soil, anti-French sentiment is rife, fueled by anti-colonialism or a perceived anti-colonialism that a double standard is being employed,” he said.

“The world order is changing, with the situation getting tougher and more complicated,” he said. The French President added “We need to be clear, without being excessively pessimistic and be wary of the new forms of protectionism. We should also stand for our principles and our values, which are universal,” Macron summed it up.

The Bitcoin mining company kicked off the second phase of its mining campus in Georgia, gearing up for the next Bitcoin halving. Bitcoin miner CleanSpark has begun the second phase of operations at its mining campus in Washington, a city in the U.S. state of Georgia, reaching 8.0 exahashes per second (EH/s), halfway to its year-end target of 16 EH/s.  The second phase saw an investment of nearly $55 million in the site, including construction, infrastructure and machines. The facility , bought in August 2022 for $25.1 million, had 15,000 mining machines with a power capacity of 50 megawatts (MW).

So, there’s 86 megawatts, or 12 times the load provided by the city," said Matthew Schultz, CleanSpark’s executive chairman, during an investors' conference on July 13. According to Schu...

Tether bitcoin mine branded 'fake' after X users spot edited logos

Image
A recent tweet from Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino in which he claims work on one of the company’s new sustainable bitcoin mining projects is “coming along well” has given rise to a curious new conspiracy theory. The tweet featured what at first glance looked to be an innocuous image of a number of shipping containers that had apparently been converted hold crypto miners. However, it didn’t take eagle-eyed viewers long to spot that something wasn’t quite right — namely that the Tether logos on the side of the containers looked Photoshopped. This led to speculation that not only were the logos fake, but the site itself was a fabrication .
