Bitcoin
In what may be the cheapest auction in the world, an art work has apparently been sold to the highest bidder using Bitcoin's Lightning Network.
The user of Reddit Cryptograffiti claims to have auctioned a small piece of art called "Black Swan" for $ 0.000000037.
The Lightning Network is a second-level solution designed to dramatically increase the speed at which users can transfer Bitcoins, as well as allowing super small micro-payments to be sent in high volumes.

The $ 36.5 million building has been divided into digital shares so that "investors from all over the world can own as much or as little as they can afford".

Cardano's founder talks about the future of the platform, the new job hires and what is happening in his blockchain IOHK company.
