According to the post, the book contains various writings he has written for over ten years. Proof of Stake will be released both digitally and physically and can be ordered immediately.

Buterin shows gratitude and appreciation to the book’s editor, Nathan Schneider, and publisher, Seven Stories Press, for this milestone.

Crypto is about much more than token prices. This book is an invitation to the real conversation.

Moreover, Schneider shared a video of Buterin’s hand-signed bookplates being added to copies of his book.

Watch @VitalikButerin‘s hand-signed bookplates being added to copies of #ProofOfStake, exclusively at @boulderbooks.

Speaking of Ethereum, Ethereum’s recent merge to PoS has completely collapsed the profitability of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) mining. GPU card pricing and inventory have started to become more volatile than ever. The prices have already plummeted to half the retail price, while used products are seeing an even more significant influx of GPUs.

Despite this, the Merge also means that Ethereum is now more environmentally friendly. According to the estimates of the Ethereum Foundation, the network’s energy consumption will be reduced by 99.95%. Buterin shared some numbers, stating that global energy consumption has decreased by 0.2% following Ethereum’s change to PoS.
