Bitcoin mining difficulty, hash rate refuse to slow down

Bitcoin’s 2023 recovery has been about more than just BTC price action, with miners seeing a significant turnaround of their own.

As BTC/USD added 70% in Q1 alone, pressured mining participants saw some much-needed relief after the bear market squeezed profit margins to practically zero.

The comeback for miners is evident in difficulty, which among other things, reflects competition for block subsidies.

Bitcoin sees "beautiful" retracement

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed the pair as it made lows of $29,015 on Bitstamp. 

The sudden move followed an equally strong rebound above the $30,000 mark the day prior, with bulls ultimately unable to preserve higher levels.

As volatility returned, Bitcoin thus fell to its lowest since April 10 as the upside saw its latest challenge.

“Deep correction on the markets, as Bitcoin can’t hold at $29,700-29,800 and shoots downwards through a cascade of liquidations,“ Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, reacted.

NFT app Rebase co-founder accused of going ‘rogue’ in suit by partner

The co-founder of the nonfungible token (NFT) project Rebase is facing a lawsuit from his apparent business partner accusing him of going “rogue” by stealing $2 million from a joint crypto wallet and ousting an apparent co-founder out of the firm.

An April 17 filing in a United States District Court in California from Krzysztof Gagacki, who says they’re the co-founder of Rebase, made eight separate complaints against the firm's other co-founder Edmond Truong.

Gagacki is demanding a jury trial for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation and trademark infringement.

While it is unclear exactly when the professional relationship between the two deteriorated, Gagacki alleged Truong breached a partnership contract on Oct. 27. 2022 by misappropriating $2 million into a separate wallet owned and controlled by Truong without his consent.

Gagacki claims to own a 50% share of the funds and says Truong refuses to provide him with the private keys to the digital wallet.
