Two weeks ago, we had an interesting increase in mining interest with the price of mining equipment on the rise. Well, last week there was a new development in the mining space.

Introducing Ghost Talk; a social media platform that seeks to change the way social media is done.

The idea is that this would be a complete departure from the centralized social media as we’ve known so far.
