02nd Feb: Crypto & Coffee at 8 🎙️

🚨 Federal Reserve Board increases the interest rate by 25bps 🔺 Crypto market is up by $400B! (See slides 1 & 2 below)

🔴The crypto market looks 💚 We strongly recommend watching Jerome Powelle’s via YouTube here https://lnkd.in/drUTMG6r. Mainstream media often puts on incorrect messages vastly different from what the Fed chair has said

📊 Seeking Alpha has stated that #BTC, and #ETH pop as traders cheer Powell’s disinflation comments. According to the article, #BTC changed hands at $23.44K as of 3:30 p.m. ET, rising 1.5% so far in the session, and ether #ETH climbed 2.6% to $1.62K. The currently bullish price action coincided with risk-on sentiment towards the stock market, with the Dow Jones up 0.1%, S&P 500 +1.0% and Nasdaq +1.9%.. It’s going to be interesting to see the price 4 -5 hours after mainstream media picks up news regarding the interest rate hike. Article here https://lnkd.in/dNfZzDaA

🔥 Reuters has reported Lebanon devalues the official exchange rate by 90%. 1st time in 25 years https://lnkd.in/dt4qws2k Dr. Saifedean Ammous has an excellent video ‘Late Stage Fiat Adventures: Lebanon a must watch here https://lnkd.in/d_a9W_Qy The National News states that this move costs banks about $8bn https://lnkd.in/dzuB4tY2

❓ Should the banks start to keep Bitcoin on the balance sheet?

👀 Update regarding Meta!

🔺 Meta gets court win in metaverse acquisition plans Bloomberg has reported that Meta Wins court nod to buy Virtual Reality startup Within Unlimited, Inc. More info here https://lnkd.in/dXcdQtm7 Could this mean monopoly & Centralization in the Metaverse?

🔺The holiday season has been great for Meta as their sales beat expectations & share prices have gone up. Another article here reported better-than-expected sales during the holiday quarter, fuelled by strong demand for advertising as it attracted more users to its Facebook social network. https://lnkd.in/dwyAam3V

🔻 However, a contradicting view is published by CoinDesk that states Facebook’s Parent Meta’s Metaverse Division Lost $13.7B in 2022 The social media giant reported losing $4.3 billion in the division in the fourth quarter of 2022 on revenues of $727 million. Article here https://lnkd.in/dSXdGf6k & official filings here https://lnkd.in/diNU78XX

🚨 The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury has added two cryptocurrency wallets allegedly connected to a Russian sanctions evasion network as part of its list of Specially Designated Nationals.. Russia-related Designations; Counter Narcotics Designation Update can be found here https://lnkd.in/dSTyk_sK

👀 Nostr: Twitter Killer? goes Live! 🔥 Lightning Network NOT Blockchain 📈 Metaverse tokens outperformed Bitcoin in Jan!

🔺Decentraland’s MANA has surged 152% for Jan, while The Sandbox’s SAND is up over 90%. CoinDesk article here has detailed information about it here https://tinyurl.com/mvvfja

👀 Nostr: Twitter Killer? goes Live!

Nostr, an open protocol that promises to substitute centrally- controlled social networks such as Twitter, is now live on the Apple App Store with Damus (The social network you control). The Censorship king & Former CEO of Twitter mentioned via a tweet https://lnkd.in/d5Hdgpn9 Check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts where we explain this and compare it to Bitcoin.

❗ Nostr is a protocol for transmitting notes and other information through relays. It uses asymmetric cryptography, with users having public and private keys. The public key is the user’s ID and the private key is their password. Messages can be encrypted and decrypted with public and private keys, similar to Bitcoin transactions. Nostr is still in its infancy, with a smaller user base and less established history compared to Bitcoin. It is an open, censorship-resistant, and permissionless communication protocol. Nostr’s recent listing on the App Store has expanded its reach to a larger audience.

🟠 Lightning Network NOT Blockchain

Strike launches instant cheaper remittances for the Philippines using Bitcoin Lightning Network. This will allow for fast, secure and low-cost money transfers between the U.S. and the Philippines, which is one of the world’s largest remittance markets. Bitcoin Magazine news article states Strike has partnered with Pouch.ph to enable transfers from U.S. dollars to Philippine pesos, which can be received in a bank or mobile money account in the Philippines. https://lnkd.in/dKFYdnzy

❓ People from UAE can send remittances to the Philippines instantly at $0 fees as well. Why use Strike when current existing systems do a similar job?

🔺 Dogecoin climbed to an eight-week high on Jan. 31 . Reason being Musk tweeted back on January 25 last year about how he will eat a McDonald’s happy meal if the fast food company accepts Dogecoin as a mode of payment. NEWSBTC has reported that If McDonald’s ever implements DOGE as a mode of payment, the coin would have access to 40,031 restaurants while simultaneously adding a big name to the already large number of merchants that accept the coin as payment method. https://lnkd.in/ddisG-zs

🚘 Tesla held onto its Bitcoin in Q4 despite market turbulence. Tesla’s financials show it neither bought nor sold any of its Bitcoin for the second quarter in a row. Cointelegraph reports that Tesla continued to hold its estimated 9,720 Bitcoin, only losing $34 million on its investment due to price declines towards the end of 2022.

This would mean that all transactions that are currently done in U.S. dollars could potentially be done with bitcoin. Official bill here https://lnkd.in/dc7mMNjE

🚨 While the move might seem great but we have a few questions

- What happens when there is a fork?

Based on the article here five employees still with the company make an average of $822,834, Looks like BlockFi’s retention “plans are larger than comparable crypto cases.”
