Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. The outcome of the US 2024 election has been confirmed, Donald Trump is the clear winner. But what does this mean for crypto and the wider global economy?

As of today, the election has already made a positive impact on the space and is likely to continue into 2025 - 2026. Also, with a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve looming it's hard not to be incredibly bullish for the future.

Privacy matters. Privacy should be unstoppable. Privacy is an individuals prerogative.

Livestream Agenda:

Generally, there are three options for privacy:

1. Privacy by default

2. Optional privacy

3. No privacy

Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks but generally I sit in the camp that says privacy should be optional. This is for a few reasons...

* Default privacy: is good for when you require complete anonymity. But this does come with two possible drawbacks Pruning - the inability to reduce the size of a blockchain by consolidating account and transaction history. And undiscoverable Inflation attacks.

* Optional Privacy: means that you get a good level of privacy without taking on the undesirable drawbacks. It also means you have choices for when to use privacy and when not to. One example of this are mixing protocols like stakeshuffle++ which allow for efficiency and incredibly high levels of privacy.

* No privacy is useful for organisational transparency for things like treasury spending, charity donations, and verifiability. One benefit of no privacy is the reduction of complexity.

Blockchain technology can be represented as being slow, inefficient, and inconsistent. Many would argue, this preserves the highest levels of security whilst aiming to maintain a peer to peer decentralised network. The question is, can this be improved to give users the best of both worlds, A fast, efficient blockchain that is also a secure, decentralised, and peer to peer network?

Let’s explore blockchain scaling and the methods used to increase transaction volume and speed, whilst decreasing congestion and cost. We’ll also discuss the trade-offs being introduced by various solutions. Understanding the long-term implications will also help evaluate the path a project is likely to follow and the overall outcomes.
