🚨 El Salvador bitcoin recovery plan!

Simon Dixon the OG of Bitcoin & CEO of BnkToTheFuture.com posted via LinkedIn that In the land of Bitcoin A reform is coming currency reform, banking reform, pension reform & security reform https://bit.ly/3T8E3Pb

- Was making Bitcoin a Legal Tender a good move?

- What are the Short Term & Long Term Implications?

🎙️ We strongly recommend listening to two contrasting views

1) Peter McCormack, host of What Bitcoin Did has two interviews with President Nayib Bukele. Both available on YouTube

- https://bit.ly/3Tdlvxc — Clear a lot of misconceptions

- https://bit.ly/3AoXJFE — Great follow-up questions a year later

2) Laura Shin, host of Unchained Podcast interviews Nelson Rauda, Salvadoran journalist for El Faro

- https://bit.ly/3ANqk9n — Interesting points discusses

❓ The big question regarding the reform is whether the recovery plan helps El Salvadorians and the country OR does it help Hedge Funds/ Investors/ Bitcoin Maximalists who are betting on it?

👀 The Twitter space with BTC_Archive discussing “El Salvador distressed #Bitcoin lender recovery plans” a few days ago was it meant for El Salvadorians OR investors mostly in the USA, Bitcoin Maximalist? Whom was the session aimed at ?https://bit.ly/3RbKcbh

✅ #ETH

As the merge date gets closer ETH supply has increased sharply in the past few weeks. Finance Magnates has reported that Ethereum addresses with non-aero balance hit an all-time high https://bit.ly/3Klmszf

⚡Race for 1 million TPS

Between Bitcoin Blockchain & Ethereum Blockchain which protocol reaches 1 million TPS first, keeping in mind & not compromising with Blockchain Trilemma i.e. decentralization, security, and scalability.

CBDC 🆚 Bitcoin?

Governor Olli Rehn from Bank of Finland (Suomen Pankki — Finlands Bank) in a panel at the University of California, Berkeley discussed Digital Euro as Monetary Anchor https://bit.ly/3R57UGk & it could facilitate pan-European services to consumers soon. While CBDC does have a few benefits but at what cost?

⚫ Nike “the woke” retail giant records $185M profit in NFT Sales!

🤑 Watcher Guru mentioned via Twitter that the performance by Nike had outperformed DOLCE&GABBANA, Tiffany & Co. Gucci & adidas. Tweet here https://bit.ly/3R0A9G2 Source via Dune here https://bit.ly/3ACAfxh DOLCE&GABBANA at 2nd with only $25.65M in revenue. Important to note is that Nike revenue includes CloneX sales and royalties pre-acquisition, as it more accurately reflects overall performance.

❓ Two NFT questions

1) Are NFTs Art or Altcoin?

2) Does fractionalization of NFT lead it to be a Security?

- Finance Magnates has a great debate on whether NFTs are simply altcoins with pictures. Article here https://bit.ly/3CpuLs7 & has some interesting points by Cobie via Twitter here https://bit.ly/3wqLgjO

🚫 Crypto market going below $1T again? 🚨Former Ethereum killer EOS up by 24.38% & 👹 Fear & Greed Index is FEAR — 29

🔼🔻The inflows & outflows in #BTC, #ETH & #crytocurrency is definitely not a bullish indicator Glassnode’s weekly insights mention due to weakness in the underlying network activity there has been a sell-off last week, info here https://bit.ly/3KekH78. CoinShares weekly blog via Medium confirms what we said yesterday in our podcast that market volumes remain very low & Ethereum has seen a 9-week run of inflows totalling US$162m. Info here https://bit.ly/3ACNwqK

Bitcoin 🆚 Ethereum

The market cap of #Ethereum is less than 50% of #Bitcoin, see slide no 2 below for more info.

📈 Who reaches 1Million TPS (Transaction Per Second)

Between #Bitcoin & #Ethereum which protocol reaches 1M TPS keeping in mind blockchain trilemma i.e., 1) Decentralization/ Distributed 2) Security 3) Scalability

⚡ While Lightning Network, not Blockchain is gaining momentum

Bitcoin Magazine has a great article that explores the channel jamming problem & Developers are working out ways to brainstorm potential problems and test their solutions for certain shortcomings of the Lightning Network. Article here https://bit.ly/3PIi4vi

🚨Stablecoins account for 96.56% ❗Is Defi Dead?💀

🚨Stablecoins account for 96.56% of the total crypto market volume & the volume is only $55.99B, not an ideal metric even for the weekend. The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is $58.45B via CoinMarketCap & $69.4B via CoinGecko

😇Are stablecoins a safe haven & hedge against cryptocurrencies? Not ideal, as a better alternative would be to use the $USA or any other Fiat currency. Tether.to USDT still accounts for over 82% of all stablecoins & they have hired BDO Italia for their monthly assurance reports, and USDT’s quarterly attestation. Official blog post here https://bit.ly/3QHD2f5 Paolo A. CTO of Bitfinex & Tether.to stated “We are fully committed to maintaining our role as the leading stablecoin in the market,”

🔻Such low volumes clearly indicate the sheer use case of Stablecoins when cryptocurrency fluctuates. Unfortunately, this makes a perfect use case for Central banks around the world to advertise, publicize, and even force the use case of CBDC

🏦 The Bank for International Settlements — BIS has published a few reports

- Technology, innovation and financial services by Michelle W Bowman talk about Federal Reserve Board Support for Innovation, Crypto Asset & FedNow and Central Bank Digital Currencies. This has the potential to Bank the Unbanked but at what cost? Article here https://bit.ly/3cctJFc The 4-page document also states that FedNow most likely will be available by mid-2023

- Digital euro — opportunities and risks by Joachim Nagel President of Deutsche Bundesbank mention how to exploit the opportunities presented by CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) as it has great potential. It also talks about a desire to be able to pay anonymously. An offline digital euro with privacy similar to cash https://bit.ly/3wlIiNl

☠️Defi⚰️

The Total Value Locked in Defi is down to $61B Cointelegraph has a good article DeFi needs to start creating real-world value if it wants to survive some good points such as Value can’t come out of thin air & the downfall of Defi since its peak in Dec 2021 https://bit.ly/3AjQBe2

🤑2022 the year of Crypto.com + Binance & mislead news by Bitcoin Magazine continues

👏🏻 Crypto.com has joined forces with Australian tech company DataMesh Group and OTR to launch Australia’s first in-store cryptocurrency payments across more than 440 of Peregrine’s retail outlets Official info here https://bit.ly/3ccw5nw Bitcoin Magazine has misled the news by saying it only #Bitcoin, not true its for major cryptocurrencies not just for Bitcoin.

👏🏻 Binance.US has obtained a money transmitter license in Nevada Official news via the blog here https://bit.ly/3pyrxL1 Brian Shroder, CEO of Binance.US. has some nice words in the article

🚨 UK inflation of 10.1%, In USA FOMC Meeting, hints to smaller rate hikes BUT Where does Bitcoin fit into all of this?

👀 Office of National Statistics has released CPI numbers & inflation is currently at 10.1% Hits double digits for the first time since 1982 Official news can be seen here https://bit.ly/3SVZyTc The website also have a brilliant explanation on

- What is inflation?

- How to use the calculator

- Further information

A must understand this here https://bit.ly/3AtSw0J much better than YouTube price influencers

👀 Federal Reserve Board’s FOMC meeting minutes release indicates a smaller hike than in previous months. This shouldn’t be a surprise if you have watched the official video here https://bit.ly/3QPHh8i It would be interesting to see what the rate hike is towards the end of the month PDF here https://bit.ly/3SQhNt4

❗The Federal Reserve Board also has useful information such as

- What is inflation

- How does the Federal Reserve evaluate changes in the rate of inflation?

A must visit the page https://bit.ly/3PsCXKV definitely a much better alternative than price influencers & world-renowned Twitter & YouTube economist.

❓Is Bitcoin a hedge against inflation? Or are stable coins a hedge against crypto?

⚡ Cointelegraph has put a video on YouTube, the hosts did ask excellent questions but the answers were weak by the guest Steven Lubka from Swan Bitcoin. He tried to explain the definition, of monetary supply, comparing of cash to physical assets. It may be better to get an unbiased opinion if Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. Lyn Alden Schwartzer has an excellent article A Look At the Lightning Network https://bit.ly/3wfKrdt he could have used some points from here instead. Lightning Network, not Blockchain is slowly gaining momentum, do we need Block + Chain protocols of Bitcoin with Lightning & Liquid network to be adopted worldwide?

💥 Based on the last 6 months' data Stable coins despite their volume being extremely low accounts for 90% of the crypto market. See slide no 2 CoinShares weekly blogs via Medium states Bitcoin bore the brunt of the outflows which totalled US$21m last week & is the second consecutive week of outflows bringing month-to-date outflows to US$29m.
