Happy Bitcoin Gold Parity day
The “Gold Parity Day” in Bitcoin refers to the day when the cost of a single bitcoin equaled the cost of an ounce of gold for the first time.

Bitcoin's Death of MtGox day!
Since Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake (POS) in 2022, I've consistently argued that it has evolved into a platform with a high degree of centralization, undermining its decentralized principles. Over time, I believe this centralization will only intensify, creating a single point of failure and essentially becoming a hub for fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies, which lack the decentralized nature that cryptocurrency was intended to provide.
Clavis
https://geyser.fund/project/clavis
This is a hardware wallet prototype currently in the fundraising phase. It's unique system design. Unlike phone-based wallets with a broad attack surface, Clavis follows the typical hardware wallet approach by using a separate device for signing transactions.
However, it goes further by incorporating an NFC card that stores the private key for the “savings” account, likely offering the highest level of security.
NFC is heavily utilized—not only for communication between the phone and the hardware wallet but also between the wallet and the NFC card holding the savings key.
The distinction between savings and spending accounts is a novel feature I haven’t encountered before, and I’ll be watching this project closely as it develops.

Bitcoin Safe
A bitcoin savings wallet for the entire family.
Bitcoin Safe - This Bitcoin wallet offers the typical features you’d expect, such as multisig, hardware wallet compatibility, and backup options. What sets it apart is its integration with Nostr. For instance, it allows you to sync and tag transactions across multiple devices, so a watch-only wallet can stay updated with new transactions and their labels. Plus, you can manage multisig setups via Nostr too. This is a major leap forward for collaborative custody, making it much more practical in a decentralized setup. I’d love to see this kind of Nostr functionality become the norm in Bitcoin wallets.

Consider the Bitcoin reserves as the fundamental foundation of the financial system, serving as a stable and secure base for digital currency (Layer 1). This foundation enables the flow of liquidity to higher layers (Layers 2 and 3), facilitating a wide range of financial activities.
For instance, companies like Coinbase or MicroStrategy, which have amassed significant wealth through their holdings of Bitcoin, may evolve into full-fledged financial institutions akin to J.P. Morgan. As these modern banks of the 21st century, they will leverage the Lightning Network on Layer 2 to provide instant peer-to-peer transactions, allowing billions of people to exchange value rapidly and efficiently. By using their services, individual users may not even need to hold custody of the Bitcoin themselves, making it easier for people to participate in the financial system and access the benefits of sound digital money.
The era of fractional reserve banking, which relies on debt and has been the backbone of the legacy fiat system, is coming to a close. In its place, a new era of sound money is emerging, reminiscent of the past when gold was the standard. Today, Bitcoin is poised to assume this role, representing a new paradigm of digital sound money that is reviving the principles of trustworthy and reliable currency.
Those who understand and adapt to this seismic shift will be well-positioned to reap the benefits, with the Caribbean island nations being particularly well-situated to capitalize on this opportunity. By embracing Bitcoin and the new financial landscape, they can position themselves for greater economic prosperity and stability. Conversely, those who fail to recognize and respond to this change will risk being left behind, struggling to remain relevant in a financial world that is rapidly evolving.
The traditional monetary system is broken, and our current reliance on fiat currency is a temporary solution. The US dollar, being the most stable fiat currency, will continue to play a role in global finance, but it will also paved the way for a transition to a more secure and decentralized form of money - digital gold, exemplified by Bitcoin. This transformation will be a landmark event in history, etched in the memories of future generations, just as we reflect on significant historical events like the Cuban crisis.
Understanding how DHTs and P2P networks operate has been a lingering goal of mine, particularly in terms of their ability to establish resilient and scalable connections. Fortunately, an informative article from the Pubkey team has helped demystify the censorship resistance of P2P networks, and I'm excited to share these insights.
