Buy the dip when it gets below $70k or $60k, hmm $50k anyone?

Uncle Donald and Vlad are buying as well

Interesting things are happening.

Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. cryptocurrency task force to move forward with plans to establish the U.S. Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve Fund, naming the five cryptocurrencies that will be stored in the fund, which led to an increase in their prices.

According to Trump, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Solana, and Cardano will be included in the U.S. government's strategic cryptocurrency reserve fund.

After this news was released, Bitcoin’s price rose by up to 9%, Ethereum by up to 11%, Solana by up to 22%, Ripple by up to 33%, and Cardano by up to 60%!

Not long ago, Trump created the U.S. cryptocurrency task force through an executive order. This group is tasked with establishing a framework for the U.S. government to have a national cryptocurrency reserve fund. In this fund, cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoins seized from criminals, will be stored rather than auctioned off immediately. The goal is for these holdings to generate profit for the government as their value increases over time.

Additionally, this is the first time Trump has used the term "reserve" instead of "stockpile" for this fund. While "stockpile" generally means that the government will simply not sell its cryptocurrencies, "reserve" implies that the U.S. government will actively purchase and store these cryptocurrencies.

Not your keys, not your coins.

You receive an event, if it contains a tag that references another event that you received before which is replaceable then take the replacement and discard the replaced one.

The BIP352 has a section for Light Client Support.

Basically what a light client needs to detect an incomming Silent Payment is to calculate the sum of the inputs' pubkeys, that's all. So, if all the spending inputs were segwit or taproot client would be able to detect payments independently without the help of any indexer. However, for legacy scripts like P2PKH extracting the pubkey requires access to the prevout's scriptPubKey, something that unfortunately light clients don't have. That's basically why we need an indexer that provides the tweakData (in short, the sum of the pubkeys)

I’ve never been a fan and actually don’t really implement them in any of my clients to the anger of many users.

I would prefer not replacing and have a pruning step for old versions. Having information destruction as a core protocol feature feels wrong to me.

IMO it is because BIP352 is in reality an alternative to BIP32 (HD) and that meansthat you have to compatibilize two key management strategies, scriptPubKey detection, labeling systems, indexing/indexers. Backups are also different from HD wallets. Also, other concepts like read-only wallets are not compatible/possible.

This introduces a lot of friction. Moreover, many libraries don't support what it is needed to implement it. For example, NBitcoin doesn't know how to sign a non-tweaked key. So, it is not sooo simple.

Anyway, I think it worths the effort.

I don't see why this would even matter. The dollar isn't based on gold anyway.
