🐐 President Donald Trump (GOAT) “ A much bigger problem than a recession, We’ll have a depression”

🗣️ 45 has warned that the U.S. economy is facing “a much bigger problem than a recession “We’ll have a depression,” Full video via YouTube here https://bit.ly/3zxIQSx His talk at 3hr19 mins

❓ Where does Bitcoin & Blockchain Fit into this?

❓Time for Separation of Money & the state?

🚫 In Europe, the European Central Bank’s money printing has endangered the Eurozone Bitcoin Magazine has written an article that shares some crucial points

- Created $4Trillion in 2 years

- Increase in interest rate in July

- Attack on cryptocurrency

- Approach by Christine Lagarde

⛔While the article aims to explain why Bitcoin offers an alternative that separates money from the state, the article actually mentions 0 use cases on why Bitcoin is ideal. Another terrible article as it does not mention a single benefit of using bitcoin, instead just focuses on the negatives of fiat currency

💡 Check out Blockchain DXB suggestion on how Bitcoin with few changes would actually serve as a world reserve currency (Still WIP)

💥 CoinGeek has published an article on the US, and EU regulators discussing Mica, stablecoins and Bitcoin regulation at the meeting at the Joint Financial Regulatory Forum Official statement here by U.S. Department of the Treasury https://bit.ly/3cFPFbB

MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets)is expected to “put an order in the Wild West of crypto assets and set clear rules for a harmonized market that will provide legal certainty for crypto asset issuers, guarantee equal rights for service providers and ensure high standards for consumers and investors.”

🚦 Regulations may be starting soon, in some contexts regulations may be a good thing as long as they protect investors & the general mass at the same time don’t stifle innovation

- Are regulations needed for cryptocurrency?

- Stablecoin issuers do they act like banks

- Who should set regulations ?

Crypto & technology developers

Members of the congress

SEC 🆚 CFTC

SEC 🆚 Coinbase employee (Insider trading)

👀 Caroline D. Pham Commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released a statement that Security Exchange Commission allegations could have broad implications beyond this single case, underscoring how critical and urgent it is that regulators work together. This is in relation to three charged in the first-ever cryptocurrency insider trading tipping scheme. Official info released by the U.S. Department of Justice https://bit.ly/3cF7dV6

🚨We strongly recommend reading DOJ release first and then CFTC’s document to get an accurate assessment of what is going on

21st July

⛔ Fake News by Bitcoin Magazine ➕ U.S. Department of Justice seizes and forfeits approximately $500,000

👀U.S. Department of Justice seizes and forfeits approximately $500,000 from North Korean ransomware actors and their conspirators. Official info here https://bit.ly/3og2dc3 $100,000 + $120,000 was paid in Bitcoin in Kansans & Colorado. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was able to identify the never-before-seen North Korean ransomware and trace the cryptocurrency to China-based money launderers. It would be interesting to know the name of the cryptocurrency exchange if involved. The District of Kansas then began proceedings to forfeit the hackers' funds and return the stolen money to the victims. BBC's article here https://bbc.in/3aW5YAv

#Fakenews 

😡BitcoinMagazine posted a video via Twitter & wrote the Chinese government is protecting banks with tanks from people after declaring they can't withdraw their money. The original video is of a navy base training exercise done on the 17th which is done every year nothing to do with banks or money. Tweet here https://bit.ly/3zmXpIA.

We at Blockchain DXB very strongly feel We live in a world where having loads of information is not important. Having information from 1st source.

 

💡 Not Your Keys, Not your Crypto

The 2nd line of the Bitcoin white paper reads… "but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending" Anthony Scaramucci's SkyBridge Capital has suspended withdrawals from its Legion Strategies Fund, one of its funds with crypto and private stocks exposure, after the sharp decline in the prices of the assets. He has assured investors "those are temporary suspensions," & "zero risk of any asset liquidation" Info via Decrypt here https://bit.ly/3RQT33B & original article by Bloomberg LP here https://bloom.bg/3RKVdl8

 

⚡ USDC news

Circle's USDC 24-hour volume is up to $8.5B CoinDesk has an excellent article that talks about how Circle's cautious USDC approach has paid off, despite missteps. It takes about its history since 2013 & how it has focused on Transparency & oversight. Also some good comparisons with Tether.to USDT & its relationship with Bitfinex Article here https://bit.ly/3B5AH8X The 24hr volume has gradually been growing for USDC & firms in UAE have recently switched from USDT to USDC in the last three months.

🏮 Post Terra Luna

Cointelegraph reported that South Korean authorities raid 15 entities linked to Terra collapse ie UpBit, Bithumb Global, 코인원 Coinone, 코빗(Korbit) and Copax. Article here https://bit.ly/3PEeYcj Prosecutors in South Korea behind the investigation of Terraform Labs have reportedly executed a search and seizure in 15 firms, & seven crypto exchanges.

👀 Bloomberg Crypto Summit + Ethereum Community Conference + Ethereum Merge = Pump in the price?

💥 Bloomberg LP’s Crypto Summit “Building the future” is currently taking place top names from the worlds of tokens, blockchain, Web3, NFTs, decentralized finance, economics, investing, venture capital, and more to talk about what’s real and what’s speculation, and what smart money should know about the next phases of growth in this ascendant industry. The agenda can be found here https://bit.ly/3crgqk2

A lot more conversation & you can watch it live via YouTube here

https://bit.ly/3PDnLuR

🚫 Is Ethereum ‘Merge’ driving the crypto market? #ETH is up by over 50% in the last 7 days CoinDesk article has an interesting take on this https://bit.ly/3AZa8Ck Nathaniel Whittemore’s podcast has an interesting episode “The Ethereum Merge Settles In as Next Crypto Narrative” & some political implications of POW vs POS.

❗ It would be interesting to see price movement in Ethereum after the Ethereum Community Conference. We at Blockchain DXB feel there might be a minor dump & our Price predictions are 100% right 50% of the time

GlobalBlock CEO Rufus R. has an interesting video that talks about #ETH Futures See $230M in Liquidations as Merge Pushes ETH to $1,500. Video on YouTube here https://bit.ly/3OeKE6U they also discuss if it’s a good idea to have #BTC as a treasury reserve

🗣️ Yesterday Security Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler In an interview with Bloomberg LP TV shared his concern about non-compliance across the crypto industry. He is 100% correct and offers a very simple explanation of Security & securities law. Interview here https://bloom.bg/3OkRZBO

🚨 Important to note he also talks about how we need to be technology neutral & yet protect the public. Lack of Regulation + Lack of enforcement of the regulation is what is a major concern at the moment. Can it be tackled in the near future?

🗣️ Kara Calvert head of policy from Coinbase & former SEC chair Jay Clayton advisory Board Member of Fireblocks; Of Counsel Consultants, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP LLP discuss some challenges of regulation as digital assets are global. Also positive things about The Responsible Financial Innovation Act. They also talk about the importance of regulation for stablecoins A lot of Useful information https://bloom.bg/3PeHYHL

19th July

🎁 Buy the rumour sell the news 😳 the global crypto market cap crosses $1Trillion!

💥 Ethereum Community Conference 5 takes place from 19th -21st of July. Info of the event here https://ethcc.io/ Historically in the crypto world price pumps before these events & dumps immediately.

- 24hrs — Polygon Matic up by 22%

- 24hrs — Ethereum up by 9.37%

- 7Days — Polygon Matic up by 55.82%

- 7Days — Ethereum up by 30.81%

💥 The Merge date for Ethereum is the 19th of September. Ethereum Beacon chain community director, who goes by Twitter id Superphiz, posted a series of timelines https://bit.ly/3AZsza4 This news could have led the price of #ETH to pump

🎓Bitcoin.com has a detailed explanation of this. An informative read here https://bit.ly/3aKZcNU

👀 Web3 = next ICO craze?

❗ Cointelegraph posted an article hew hours ago that shares info on how Web3 dominates venture capital interest in the blockchain industry in Q2 2022. The article also mentions despite a large slump in global markets Andreessen Horowitz closed a $4.5 billion crypto fund, and investment continued to flow into different sectors of the crypto industry. More info here https://bit.ly/3BfXpeP

❗ Christie’s the British auction house founded in 1766, launches Venture Fund & will fund emerging technologies and financial innovations relevant to art. They have successfully closed their first investment in LayerZero Labs. Info here https://bit.ly/3AYpCXb Christie’s Ventures will start by exploring three broad categories: Web3.0 innovation, art-related financial products and solutions and technologies that enable seamless consumption of art.

❗ Finance Magnates makes a very good attempt to explain what Web3 actually means. A decentralized version of the web, with a money layer, in which users take independent ownership of their own data and digital identity. Good info here https://bit.ly/3oaV6BE

🚫 Is Web3 another gimmick to lure VCs to invest?

We at Blockchain DXB very strongly feel Block + Chain technology has a very limited use case using Cryptography + Hashing Algorithm + Mathematics + ZK proof. A 100% Distributed network is extremely hard to organically materialize. Game theory + Human Greed + Demand vs Supply is an extremely tough problem to solve.

❗ Jack Dorsey CEO of Square has a different and tbh more straightforward approach to Web5, not Web3 More info here https://bit.ly/3yTetEe.

JackDOrseyshas a different and to be honest more straightforward approach to Web5, not Web3 based on TBD website it says

Web 5 is a decentralized platform that provides a new identity layer for the web to enable decentralized apps and protocols.

The definition talks about how In the current web model, users do not own their data or identity. They are given accounts by companies and their data is held captive in app silos. To create a new class of decentralized apps and protocols that put individuals at the centre, we must empower them with self-owned identity and restore control over their data.

Jac Dorseys platform TBD embraces the convenience of Web 2 but it also returns control back to the users, an ethos of Web 3. The harmony of these two views is what we're calling Web 5.

The current focus is “ Decentralized Identity” TBD has Twitter Spaces with quite a lot of useful information. A panel discussion on Decentralized Identity a lot more here https://bit.ly/3PwrZEw The great thing is it is Open source and, where appropriate, built on open standards.

💡Blockchain DXB suggesions on how Bitcoin could be a world reserve currency, it does include a fork, increasing supply, and reducing the price per #BTC. Still, currently work in progress here https://bit.ly/3I0E3f3

💥Separation of Money & the state will eventually happen & be a good thing for humanity, meanwhile, UNCTAD whose aim is prosperity for all has released a policy brief titled “All that glitters is not gold: The high cost of leaving cryptocurrencies unregulated” Article here https://bit.ly/3uMloxR is calling for Bitcoin ads to be banned & regulation for crypto wallets. They are also pushing for central bank digital currency & or fast retail payment systems. In honesty, the article does make some valid points, particularly about stablecoins.

🎙️Check out our podcast to get our detailed breakdown of this!

👿#Fakenews by Michael Saylor

Michael Saylor CEO of MicroStrategy has been providing #fakenews & incorrect information regarding the fungibility of Bitcoin. He mentioned via Twitter that 1BTC = 1BTC. This is fake news. His Tweet here https://bit.ly/3AN0HWl. In the past, he has intentionally misled followers by saying Bitcoin has never had a single downtime.

😡Human Greed & lack of a Central entity in Bitcoin Blockchain can lead Multi Billionaires to lie to the general mass to create artificial Demand for Bitcoin! Since the Supply is fixed by creating demand the price would pump

👀Why would Michael Saylor do that? By doing so people would buy Bitcoin & in doing so Michael Saylor & MicroStrategy net’s worth in Bitcoin would increase

📊According to Google Trends, the term ‘Bitcoin Crash’ is trending. Info here https://bit.ly/3B3VVUT Cointelegraph has an interesting read that shares info on how #BTC has been written off as dead 458 times in the past.

13th July

🥶Crypto winter in summer🥵

In 2020 are stablecoins a safe haven for crypto winter? Not really! The 24-hour trading volume of stablecoins has been on a steady decline since the last month & still accounts for over 91% of total crypto market volume. Check slide No2 below for a detailed breakdown of this.

💡 Satoshi Nakamoto’s message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” a hint to the original article by The Times here https://bit.ly/3PoaaHI the article talks about how Alistair Darling has been forced to consider a second bailout for banks as the lending drought worsens.

❗Fast forward to 2022 Crypto Multi Billionaires doing the very same thing?

- Justin Sun, of BitTorrent, Inc. & Tron DAO is willing to spend $5 billion on helping the industry builders to continue building. More info here via DailyCoin here https://bit.ly/3aupuUI

- Multi Billionaire & FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has bailed out & in the process of bailing out a few companies such as BlockFi and Voyager. An interesting article https://reut.rs/3avIyBK.

- Multibillionaire Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance has a different view on Bailouts though. He did criticize Alameda Research approach. An interesting podcast with Decrypt podcast gm from Decrypt (the episode is not published yet?) More info can be found here https://bit.ly/3RtwHVy

❓ Question: When it comes to money whom do we trust?

- Billionaires

- Early Adopters, Crypto Billionaires, Celebrities

- Government

- Hashing Algorithm, Mathematics, Cryptography (Bitcoin)

👀 Bitcoin may not offer a safe haven as it was initially intended to! Game theory, Human Greed & the nature of Demand vs Supply (ie Limited & fixed) is a problem that we may never be able to solve?

🔴 While Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies have not offered a safe haven in the Bidenflation era The U.S. Office of Financial Research an arm of the U.S. Department of the Treasury strongly feels a digital dollar could be good for financial stability. A working paper called Central Bank Digital Currency: Stability and Information was published yesterday. Article here https://bit.ly/3PjPaTb

🚨But could they provide a safe haven? And at what cost? Blockchain DXB had an event CBDC, THe Basics, Threat to Freedom & its role in the Metaverse last week. The slides & information can be found here https://bit.ly/3QgMGFO

🚫 While “fake crypto” such as CBDC does bank the unbanked there are more risks than advantages. Two developments to look out for in the world of CBDC

- CBDC will introduce Zero-knowledge proof

- Burning to reduce the Supply of CBDC to better manage Inflation
