Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment is a feature that serves as a self-correcting mechanism to maintain the stability of the network. Every 2016 blocks, or roughly every two weeks, the difficulty adjusts based on how fast previous blocks were mined.
If it was faster than 10 minutes per block, meaning more miners on board making Bitcoin mining get more difficult and vice versa.The purpose of this is to keep Bitcoin's block time consistent so both large and small miners can continue to mine profitably while ensuring the security and integrity of the network.

Michael Saylor's bitcoin strategy with MicroStrategy is fascinating. By borrowing money to buy Bitcoin, the value of the company has increased significantly, enabling them to issue more stock and buy even more Bitcoin in a virtuous cycle. However, it is risky since if the price of Bitcoin goes down and they do not have sufficient cash flow to pay their debt, there could be serious ramifications.However, by being an early adopter in a decentralized system like cryptocurrency and its block chain technology can bring innovation that companies would never get through traditional banking systems #bitcoin #innovation
I agree ☝️ is risky if you don’t have enough cashflow to pay your debt 💸
I think he has been in a bear already, if he is able to pay their debt or investors accept to convert he will be fine, don’t you think?
Bitcoin is a complex and multifaceted concept. People need time to understand the benefits of self-custody, the flaws of the existing financial system, blockchain technology, digital scarcity and network effects. Learning about Bitcoin may require shifting ingrained beliefs forged by many years within traditional finance systems. It requires a leap into new territory that can be an uncomfortable learning experience for some users. But knowledge is power! Patiently taking one step at a time in understanding Bitcoin leads you closer towards secure wealth preservation and immense financial freedom. #bitcoin #financialfreedom https://youtu.be/aCgLzLfLDK0?si=UILKLb5rfPW8psNw
#Bitcoin miners are incentivized to seek the cheapest electricity on the planet, thanks to their need for low energy costs. Unlike traditional server farms that rely on stable power sources and require high-speed internet, bitcoin miners can operate anywhere with cheap and abundant energy. They can even handle intermittent power cuts or outages with relative ease compared to conventional data centers. The ability of #BTC mining operations to adapt and function in a decentralized manner represents an important evolution in how we can build efficient and resilient computing infrastructure.
I agree ☝️ but you hyper-simplified it 🤓🙏
Fractional Reserve Banking is the practice of commercial banks keeping only a fraction of deposits on hand and lending out the rest at interest. If you deposit $100, the bank can lend out most (let's say 90%) to someone else who can redeposit that money into another account. This process continues creating multiple layers of debt based on your original $100 deposit. The initial deposit becomes an exponentially larger sum in circulation with every loan and redeposit made by the bank. Bitcoin eliminates this fractional reserve system as there is no central authority controlling its supply or distribution making it more transparent, secure, and fairer in distributing wealth #FractionalReserveBanking #Bitcoin

Allowing a central organization to have a monopoly on printing money, creates problems like limitless government growth and crazy spending with endless deficits. If they misuse their resources, instead of going bankrupt they can simply print more money to cover the losses, leading to inflation and decreased value of currency. This system leads to an unfair distribution of wealth where those who own assets gain while those living paycheck-to-paycheck lose.This is why decentralized digital currencies like Bitcoin are important in creating a fairer economic system for all. #bitcoin #USDollar

#BitcoinFees are determined by the urgency of transaction confirmation. Using a small fee may result in longer confirmation times, suitable for non-urgent transfers like personal payments.
For time-sensitive transactions, like buying goods or services, a higher fee ensures quicker confirmation, preventing delays or missed opportunities.
In situations where network congestion is high, such as during peak usage times, larger fees incentivize miners to prioritize transactions, ensuring timely processing. Thus, fee size directly correlates with transaction priority and speed in the Bitcoin network.

A #carryTrade involves borrowing money in a currency with a low interest rate and investing it in a currency with a higher interest rate to profit from the interest rate differential.
For instance, an investor might borrow in a currency like the Japanese yen, where interest rates are low, and then invest in a higher-yielding asset, such as U.S. dollars.
The investor earns the interest rate differential between the two currencies. However, carry trades involve risks, including exchange rate fluctuations, which can erase potential gains if not managed carefully. 
On the demand side, news and events play a crucial role as they impact market sentiment and perception of #Bitcoin's future prospects, influencing buying and selling decisions.
Positive developments, such as regulatory clarity or institutional adoption, often drive up demand and prices, while negative news can have the opposite effect.
News acts as a catalyst, shaping short-term market sentiment and driving price movements.
Keep calm stack sats!
#Bitcoin's price is influenced by demand-side factors such as news, sentiment, and utility, supply-side dynamics like halving events and lost coins, and structural factors like management fees and leverage.
These elements collectively shape market sentiment, scarcity, and investor behavior, driving fluctuations in Bitcoin's value. 
#Bitcoin operates on a four-year cycle known as the "halving cycle." Approximately every four years, the number of bitcoins produced per block halves, leading to a reduction in the rate of new bitcoin issuance. This event is called the "halving."
It occurs roughly every 210,000 blocks. The halving is designed to control the supply of bitcoins and ensure scarcity over time, mimicking the behavior of precious metals like #gold.
This reduction in new supply often correlates with increased demand, driving up the price of bitcoin in what's often referred to as a "bull market" cycle. #diamondHands
