Weekly Roundup: Elon Musk Buys 9.2% Stake in Twitter, Latest Blockchain Industry Updates

Elon Musk shakes the Twitter world yet again, this time by taking a 9.2% stake in the social media giant. Speaking of shaking the world, the BSV blockchain hit a record-breaking 10 million transactions in 24 hours.

Check out these stories and other digital currency and blockchain updates on CGPulse.

It's interesting to note that Ethereum, which is a popular hobby blockchain for applications and smart contracts, only managed a little over one million transactions in the same 24-hour period.

Meanwhile, BTC processed more than 200,000 transactions over the same period due to its artificially limited block capacity.
