Bitcoin Is Not Crypto, The SEC Confirms (an article) by Forbes' Martin Leo Rivers
TL;DR: Forbes is now carefully explaining to its readers why Bitcoin is not Crypto, elaborating on the fact that Bitcoin is money and Crypto is unregistered securities.
Hey Bitcoiners,
It’s really refreshing to see mainstream media outlets starting to not only understand, but explain why Bitcoin and Crypto are not the same things at all. In this Forbes piece which is suitable for people who are unfamiliar with the differences between the two, the main differences are carefully spelled out. Defintely worth a read, and suitable for sharing with your friends who still confuse the two.
Enjoy!

Job of the Day
Remote Assistant — Satoshi Energy
The Company & Role
The mission at Satoshi Energy is to enable every electric power company to utilize bitcoin in order to accelerate progress toward a world with decentralized sound money and abundant sustainable energy. The company was founded in 2018 on two premises: 1) energy companies will leverage bitcoin mining to support investment in low cost sustainable energy, and 2) energy companies operating in 24/7 power markets will benefit from 24/7 real time financial settlement. Today, we are a market leader connecting nearly 2 gigawatts of renewable energy assets with bitcoin mining data centers under novel contract structures while building a suite of tools to enable energy companies to transact in bitcoin. In the future, we envision every kilowatt-hour streamed to an energy consumer will be settled instantaneously with a payment streamed to the energy producer. As a part-time remote assistant, you will join a small, focused team of bitcoiners, engineers, and energy experts and be responsible for managing all things back office while supporting the leadership team.
