“When inflation comes down, don’t be sure interest rates are going to come down as much as people got used to before 2022. The next decade we will land at a higher real interest rate than before which will mean lower asset prices in general.”👇

Maintainers cannot force users to update their node.

Anyone can submit a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP), but Bitcoin Core, a BIP-compliant editor must receive an approval from at least 90% of the miners.

Nodes do not auto update. Only after the approval the nodes get an option to upgrade to a new software version.

#Bitcoin maintainers have been labeled as successors of Satoshi Nakamoto.

The article says that a larger community of developers assists them in making sure that the software continues to run smoothly on modern operating systems.

It is crucial to understand that maintainers don’t control Bitcoin.

Could #Bitcoin stop wars?

Henry Ford in 1921, proposed to replace gold money with energy currency and stop wars.

In the end, how your investments behave is much less important than how you behave. (Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing)

The number one skill in investing is patience - extreme patience.

Like this quote from Warren Buffett - The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.

The way that organisations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most of the time. (Kevin Kelly)

Data shows that crypto market has now entered the extreme greed zone. 👇

U.S. regulatory efforts are now focusing on stablecoin regulation and begun limiting stablecoin products.

Stablecoin market capitalisation started falling at around the same time as the Federal Reserve balance sheet. Falling stablecoin market capitalisation means falling crypto liquidity and leverage. 👇
