Can NFTs empower artists and democratise the art industry? by Naveen Krishnasamy SOURCE Art World
"The ‘proof of work’ model which defines the Bitcoin blockchain has historically allowed cryptocurrencies to be mined by those who have the required processing power. This means as more tokens are discovered and purchased, more processing power is required. Naturally, it has come under fire for being unsustainable as the scale and scope of Bitcoin continues to increase.
However, the ‘proof of stake’ model that is currently being used by the Cardano cryptocurrency and being rolled out on the Ethereum blockchain, is less energy intensive. But it does process transactions based on how much certain cryptominers have already earned, meaning it can potentially shut out newcomers to the industry."

Romancing the Stones By Cathleen McGuigan FROM Newsweek
"Since then, the trustees of the British Museum have never wavered in their position that Elgin's marbles legally belong to the museum. Scholars long argued that the marbles were better preserved in London than they would be in smog-choked Athens, with its poor museum facilities."

Downsizing to 100 square feet of bliss by Thelma Gutierrez and Traci Tamura FROM CNN
"CALISTOGA, California (CNN) -- Bill and Sharon Kastrinos practice the ultimate in minimalism. They've squeezed into a 154-square-foot home that looks more like a kid's playhouse than their previous 1,800-square-foot home.With the economy crashing, the Kastrinos traded in their spacious kitchen for one that stretches barely an arm's length."
