CANNES — Ten years ago, Vitalik Buterin and a small band of developers huddled in a drafty Berlin loft strung with dangling lightbulbs, laptops balanced on mismatched chairs and chipped tables. They weren’t corporate titans or venture-backed founders — just idealists working long nights to push a radical idea into reality.From that sparse office, they launched “Frontier,” Ethereum’s first live network. It was bare-bones — no interface, no polish, nothing user-friendly. But it could mine, execute smart contracts, and let developers test decentralized applications. It was the spark that transformed Ethereum from an abstract concept into a living, breathing system.Bitcoin…

He accused the Fed of cutting rates at the end of last year to help elect Kamala Harris. Later in the day , the president used similar reasoning when firing the head of the Bureau of…

Solar energy is booming across the U.S. and, for the first time, Florida is catching up to industry powerhouses Texas and California.Despite removing climate change from its official state policy in 2024, Florida added more utility-scale solar than California last year, with over 3 gigawatts of new capacity coming online. “This is not a fluke,” said Sylvia Leyva Martinez, senior analyst at Wood Mackenzie. “Florida is now shaping national solar growth.”The surge is being driven by utilities, not rooftop panels. Florida Power & Light alone built over 70% of the state’s new solar last year. A state rule lets developers skip…

The experience was so impactful that it eventually inspired him to become a full-time traveler—a path he didn’t know was possible for him.”Going to India was an eye-opening experience for me. It was the first time I’d been to some place so foreign, so stimulating and for me it was this epiphany that I needed to experience more,” Barnard tells CNBC Make It.”The most exciting part was talking to the people and seeing how things work.
