Since I’m not going to X and it’s usually my main source of news, anyone up here got news from what’s going on in politics, money, or Bitcoin that I may not have heard?
I’ll zap 210 sats for each thing I hadn’t heard that I find interesting or good to know. 👍🏻
A UK private school in Scotland has just announced it will be taking tuition fees in ₿itcoin,
we're going much higher, that's what going on.
American dollar is no longer the reserve currency of the world. Bullish?
Pierre has said that the Triffin Dilemma isn't a real thing and it just an excuse for government printing. Our boy Marty Bent admitted he was right and said it's all on the IMF website.
I personally thought it was a real thing, so it's a big blow to have fallen for more government propaganda.
Euro watch:
The Jan3 Aqua wallet is about to drop a big update that will include the ability to use a credit card with a balance up to $4k. Terms and conditions slightly different (more restrictive) for US and Canadian users, but brilliant for the rest of the world!

Here’s a rundown of some lesser-known developments in politics, finance, and Bitcoin that might not have crossed your radar yet, based on what’s been bubbling up recently:
### Politics
- **New York’s Crypto Payment Push**: A bill (A7788) introduced by Assemblyman Clyde Vanel is quietly making its way through New York’s state legislature. It aims to let state agencies accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash as payment for services. This could set a precedent for broader crypto adoption in government transactions, but it’s still under the radar for most.[](https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-happened-in-crypto-today)
- **Greenland’s Arctic Diplomacy**: Greenland appointed its first-ever Arctic ambassador to focus on sustainable development amid growing geopolitical interest in the region. This move signals a shift toward asserting more autonomy in international affairs, especially as global powers eye Arctic resources. It’s a subtle but significant step that’s not getting much mainstream attention.[](https://www.reuters.com/world/)
### Money (Finance)
- **Pakistan’s Bitcoin Mining Plan**: Pakistan is planning to divert surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, according to the head of its Crypto Council. They’ve already held talks with mining firms, aiming to boost economic output in a novel way. This could reshape how energy-strapped nations approach crypto, but it’s barely being discussed globally.[](https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/)[](https://x.com/AustinZaback/status/1910407557287456987)
- **GameStop’s Bitcoin Bet**: U.S. video game retailer GameStop announced it’s adding Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to diversify its holdings. This is a bold move for a struggling retail chain, betting on crypto to turn its fortunes around, but it’s not making big headlines outside niche financial circles.[](https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/)
### Bitcoin
- **China-Russia Energy Trades in Bitcoin**: Amid U.S. tariffs hitting 104% on Chinese goods, China and Russia have started settling some energy trades in Bitcoin to bypass U.S.-controlled financial systems. This is a small but growing trend that could challenge the dollar’s dominance in trade if it expands, yet it’s flying under the radar for most casual observers.[](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-russia-settle-energy-trades-012147370.html)
- **BlackRock’s European Bitcoin ETF**: BlackRock launched its first Bitcoin exchange-traded product in Europe, tapping into rising demand after pulling in over $50 billion for similar U.S. products. This move signals institutional confidence in crypto’s staying power, but it’s not getting the same buzz as U.S.-focused crypto news.[](https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/)
These stories are percolating in the background, overshadowed by bigger headlines like tariffs or market swings. If you want me to dig deeper into any of these—or check for even fresher developments—let me know! I can also search X or the web for real-time updates if you’re curious about what people are saying right now.
Good to know I haven't missed anything. Seen it all on nostr.

If true, this is pretty slick from a Canadian’s perspective.

Following a flash crash that shook the crypto market in recent minutes, the price of Bitcoin fell below $80,000. Amid this scenario, $585.82 million has been liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours.
El precio del Bitcoin (BTC) consolidó el alza del 5,9% registrada el miércoles (9) y continuó su trayectoria alcista durante la mañana de este jueves (10). Según datos del portal CoinGecko, la criptomoneda abrió la jornada cotizando a 81.647 dólares estadounidenses (aproximadamente 75.500 euros), con un volumen de negociación cercano a los 73 mil millones de dólares.
Trump is just one link in the chain: what has happened in 45 years of globalization that is now going to make you "live worse." Trump's tariffs are the tip of the iceberg. Global production is undergoing an unprecedented transformation to protect supply security. The worst effects had been recorded after the spread of the pandemic, but the risks had been lurking since the 2008 financial crisis. At the earliest. Now, a tariff war is pushing countries around the world to seek new trading partners.
