配合地震救援 缅甸反军政府武装宣布停火两周
缅甸反军政府武装宣布，为了配合缅甸军方开展地震救援工作，将实施为期两周的部分停火。
缅甸影子政府发声明称，人民防卫军（PDF）自星期天（3月30日）起，将在地震灾区暂停进攻性军事行动，仅保留防御性行动。
声明还指出，流亡政府将与联合国及非政府组织合作，在其控制的地区提供安全保障、运输支持，并设立临时救援和医疗营地。
缅甸中部星期五（28日）发生7.7级强震。缅甸国家管理委员会星期六（29日）晚发布消息说，受灾地区已有1644人死亡、3408人受伤，另有139人失踪。
缅甸军方于2021年发动政变，推翻翁山淑枝领导的民选政府。随后，军政府与少数民族地方武装组织和亲民主的人民防卫军作战，使国家陷入长期动荡。

Bitcoin mining is the process of adding new transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain. It’s a tough job. People who choose to mine Bitcoin use a process called proof of work, deploying computers in a race to solve mathematical puzzles that verify transactions.To entice miners to keep racing to solve the puzzles and support the overall system, the Bitcoin code rewards miners with new Bitcoins. “This is how new coins are created” and new transactions are added to the blockchain, says Okoro.
“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
