EOS Surges Alongside Bitcoin Boom
Other cryptocurrencies accept additionally acquaint notable gains, but EOS has had the arch circadian achievement out of the top bristles assets, per Live Coin Watch data. While this move has been accustomed by holders of the accepted agenda asset, what are the speculated catalysts abaft this move?
Firstly, abundant like added cryptocurrencies, EOS ran partially due to Bitcoin’s surge, as this amplitude has been arena ‘follow the leader’ as of late.

So nodes accept to buy a new $300 8TB adamantine drive every 16 months? Why is this a problem? Usenet was growing 1TB/day added than a decade ago…
