The Ethereum blockchain is a distributed ledger that works without needing intermediaries like banks. It records transactions and creates value by rewarding those who update it with tokens known as ether, which are then used to purchase other services on the platform.

To address these concerns, the Ethereum team introduced an upgrade called Merge that will switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake network. This new system rewards people with Ethereum for verifying other users’ updates to the ledger instead of paying mining companies directly, making it more energy-efficient and faster than existing blockchain. Both will continue operating simultaneously. But will The Merge truly quiet crypto haters? Unfortunately not. It is impossible to know exactly how The Merge will impact prices given that many cryptocurrencies remain in bear market conditions and therefore anything could go…

If you’re flying unaccompanied with minors, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Airlines each have unique policies regarding minors; here are some tips for making the process as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Delta Air Lines requires children between 5-14 to use its unaccompanied minor program when flying; it’s optional for 15-17 year-olds but costs $150 one way flight.
