Marathon: Trump and US Constitution Immortalized in Bitcoin Block
The renowned Bitcoin miner, Marathon, made headlines by immortalizing Donald Trump and the entire text of the U.S. Constitution within a single Bitcoin block. This unique event took place in Block 879613, where Trump's portrait was encoded using Mempool.space's color representation of various transaction types. The move comes as a gesture to acknowledge Trump ahead of his inauguration next week as the 47th President of the United States.
This significant act is not just symbolic; it reflects potential policy shifts under Trump's administration that could favorably impact the mining industry. According to BTC-ECHO | Bitcoin & Blockchain since 2014, Frederik Dürr from Cryptohall24 expressed optimism about future conditions for miners if Trump continues making concessions beneficial to their operations. With meetings already held with major players like Riot Platforms and Cleanspark, there is speculation on whether this marks a new era for cryptocurrency mining in America.
