Bitcoin hashrate reaches all-time high
The Bitcoin hashrate hit a new all-time high above 245 exahashes per second. At the same time, miner profitability is near the lowest levels on record.

Swiss McDonald’s accepts BTC and Tether payments
McDonald’s was one of the world’s first multinational to accept bitcoin payments. This started when El Salvador officially made BTC as its legal tender back in September, 2021.
Ever since then, all the McDonald’s outlets in El Salvador have been accepting BTC as a prominent payment means. Likewise, the City of Lugano, an Italian dominant province of eastern Switzerland has been actively trying to make itself the crypto capital of Europe. In such terms, the McDonald’s outlets in the City of Lugano have started to accept crypto payments.
