Hey there, welcome back to the Bitcoin 00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:03.590 Street Journal. We've hit a major milestone today 00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.170 with our 70th podcast episode, and we couldn't 00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:08.449 have done it without all of you amazing listeners. 00:02:08.969 --> 00:02:11.330 Thank you for your loyalty and support. We've 00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:13.229 got so much more in store for you, so make sure 00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:15.930 to stay tuned. Now onto some interesting news. 00:02:16.270 --> 00:02:18.530 It's time someone told BlackRock to step up their 00:02:18.530 --> 00:02:20.810 game when it comes to Bitcoin. I mean, seriously, 00:02:20.870 --> 00:02:23.650 why are they pushing a worthless EFT on the public 00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:26.449 when they could actually purchase and hodl Bitcoin 00:02:26.449 --> 00:02:29.210 as an asset? It's almost like they're playing 00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:31.810 a joke on us. They know better, but they choose 00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:34.409 to short sound money. It's frustrating to say 00:02:34.409 --> 00:02:37.210 the least. Before we kick off the show, a shout 00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:39.370 out is in order. We'd like to give a special 00:02:39.370 --> 00:02:41.770 thanks to Jenny, without whom this broadcast 00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:44.810 would not be possible. You rock, Jenny. We'd 00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:46.870 also like to shout out to the Sandbagger crew, 00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:50.710 Mom, TC, Skells, Mark, TK, Sharky Shark, Dean 00:02:50.710 --> 00:02:53.169 Dean, The Hole in One Machine, and Logan. Thanks 00:02:53.169 --> 00:02:55.129 for being a part of our journey. All right, let's 00:02:55.129 --> 00:02:57.650 jump right into it. First up, we have some exciting 00:02:57.650 --> 00:03:00.090 news from a private equity billionaire. This 00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:02.370 big shot believes that Bitcoin is here to stay, 00:03:02.770 --> 00:03:05.189 and we couldn't agree more. David Rubenstein 00:03:05.189 --> 00:03:07.110 knows what he's talking about when it comes to 00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.770 investments, so it's refreshing to hear his perspective 00:03:09.770 --> 00:03:12.419 on Bitcoin's longevity. Speaking of big names, 00:03:12.539 --> 00:03:14.379 the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has introduced 00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:17.560 a cap on cryptocurrency exchanges. Starting now, 00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:20.159 individuals can only exchange up to $10 ,000 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.080 each calendar month. However, withdrawing funds 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.319 from crypto exchanges to a Commonwealth Bank 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.120 account won't face any restrictions. It's an 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:29.840 interesting move, and we're curious to see how 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.759 it plays out. In the United States, the Carlyle 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.020 Group asset manager co -founder with a whopping 00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:39.780 $385 billion in assets under management, AUM, 00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:43.199 expects Bitcoin to continue thriving. He points 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.479 to BlackRock's recent interest in the cryptocurrency 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.800 as evidence that Bitcoin is here to stay. It's 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.879 always great to see prominent figures recognizing 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.500 the potential of Bitcoin. Next up, let's talk 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:56.379 about Sophie Bank in San Francisco. This bank, 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.000 which boasts 6 .2 million customers, has revealed 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.740 that they hold a staggering $82 million worth 00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:06.639 of Bitcoin. That's definitely not a small amount. 00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:10.270 It's exciting to see traditional financial institutions 00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:12.930 embracing cryptocurrency and including it in 00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.569 their balance sheets. Now it's time to dive into 00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:18.029 some technical aspects. Have you heard of the 00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:20.970 liquid network sidechain? Well, Samson Moe is 00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:24.250 here to explain it to us. He sheds light on the 00:04:24.250 --> 00:04:26.829 innovative features it brings to the table. It's 00:04:26.829 --> 00:04:29.329 always fascinating to explore the technical advancements 00:04:29.329 --> 00:04:31.850 that are happening in the crypto space. Moving 00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.709 on, we have some news from Jan 3, the developer 00:04:34.709 --> 00:04:36.990 of Aqua Bitcoin. They have recently announced 00:04:36.990 --> 00:04:38.970 the upcoming launch of a revolutionary Bitcoin 00:04:38.970 --> 00:04:41.269 and Liquid wallet. It's set to hit the market 00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:44.350 in Q4 2023, and we can't wait to see what this 00:04:44.350 --> 00:04:47.250 new wallet has in store for us. Exciting times 00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:50.050 ahead. Now let's talk about Bitcoin miners and 00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:52.930 their growing reserves. Over the past few weeks, 00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:55.389 miners have been steadily increasing their Bitcoin 00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:59.250 holdings. In just 48 days, they have added around 00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:02.949 4 ,060 Bitcoins to their reserves. It's a clear 00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:04.970 sign that miners are confident in the future 00:05:04.970 --> 00:05:07.389 of Bitcoin and are actively accumulating it. 00:05:07.850 --> 00:05:09.949 And in case you missed it, BitEar has completed 00:05:09.949 --> 00:05:12.410 its new Bitcoin mining facility in the Kingdom 00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:15.629 of Bhutan. It's great to see Bitcoin mining operations 00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:18.189 expanding globally, and Bhutan is no exception. 00:05:18.750 --> 00:05:20.730 We're always excited to witness the growth and 00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:23.649 decentralization of the Bitcoin network. Last 00:05:23.649 --> 00:05:26.009 but not least, we have some breaking news from 00:05:26.009 --> 00:05:28.629 the United States. The Securities and Exchange 00:05:28.629 --> 00:05:32.029 Commission, SEC, is planning to appeal a judge's 00:05:32.029 --> 00:05:34.990 ruling that Ripple's XRP is not a security. It 00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:36.970 seems like this decision came as no surprise 00:05:36.970 --> 00:05:39.449 to those following the case. We'll keep our eyes 00:05:39.449 --> 00:05:42.689 on this ongoing saga and see how it unfolds. 00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:45.290 Well, that wraps it up for today's episode. We 00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:47.269 hope you enjoyed diving into all things Bitcoin 00:05:47.269 --> 00:05:49.870 with us. Stay tuned for more exciting news and 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.050 updates. Thanks for joining us on this journey. 00:05:52.189 --> 00:05:54.209 And remember to keep hodling. This is the Bitcoin 00:05:54.209 --> 00:06:06.180 Street Journal signing off. Hey, Bitcoiners. 00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:08.379 Welcome back to the Bitcoin podcast, where we 00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:10.379 bring you all the latest news and updates from 00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:13.199 the world of cryptocurrencies. We've got an exciting 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.480 lineup for you today, so let's dive right in. 00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:18.779 First up, let's talk about the massive $40 trillion 00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:20.879 Bitcoin volume that's been making waves in the 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.620 market. It's incredible to see the growing interest 00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:26.439 and adoption of Bitcoin with such a huge volume 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.920 being traded. This only goes to show that Bitcoin 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.519 is here to stay and continues to gain momentum 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.459 as a legitimate asset class. Speaking of milestones, 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.740 we can't forget to mention the all -time high 00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:39.839 addresses that Bitcoin has been hitting recently. 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.920 It's always exciting to see new records being 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.819 set. And it speaks to the increasing number of 00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:48.560 people joining the Bitcoin community. Now let's 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.959 take a trip to Africa and talk about Machinkura. 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.920 This fascinating development is bringing Bitcoin 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.379 to the forefront in Africa, opening up new opportunities 00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:00.120 for financial empowerment and inclusion. It's 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.480 amazing to see how Bitcoin is making a positive 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.579 impact globally. Shifting gears a bit, let's 00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:08.180 discuss renewable energy and its relevance to 00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:10.949 Bitcoin. We all know that Bitcoin mining consumes 00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:13.290 a considerable amount of energy and there have 00:07:13.290 --> 00:07:15.430 been ongoing discussions about ways to make it 00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:18.189 more sustainable. We'll explore some interesting 00:07:18.189 --> 00:07:20.990 insights on how renewable energy can play a crucial 00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:23.790 role in the future of Bitcoin. In other news, 00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:27.329 PayPal's stablecoin freeze has raised some eyebrows 00:07:27.329 --> 00:07:29.970 in the crypto community. The decision to halt 00:07:29.970 --> 00:07:32.329 stablecoin trading on its platform has sparked 00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:34.829 debates about the role of regulation and the 00:07:34.829 --> 00:07:37.579 impact it can have on the crypto industry. We'll 00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:39.420 be keeping a close eye on how this situation 00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:41.540 unfolds and what it means for the broader crypto 00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.139 ecosystem. Moving on to the realm of content 00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:47.120 creators, YouTube deplatforming has been a hot 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.980 topic lately. Many crypto -related channels have 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:52.959 faced demonetization or outright bans, leaving 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.860 creators frustrated and seeking alternative platforms. 00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:58.759 This raises important questions about freedom 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.860 of speech and the need for decentralized platforms 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.399 that can't be influenced by centralized authorities. 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.949 Now let's take a moment to have some fun. Did 00:08:06.949 --> 00:08:08.990 you know there's a new Futurama episode about 00:08:08.990 --> 00:08:11.509 Bitcoin? It's always exciting to see mainstream 00:08:11.509 --> 00:08:14.129 shows and popular culture embracing cryptocurrencies. 00:08:14.709 --> 00:08:16.589 It helps to raise awareness and bring Bitcoin 00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:20.089 to a broader audience. But that's not all. Bitcoiners 00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:21.850 have found another way to entertain themselves 00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:24.170 with the Lightning Network. They've been playing 00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:26.970 snake on lightning. It's a clever use of the 00:08:26.970 --> 00:08:29.589 Lightning Network's capabilities and showcases 00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:31.629 the innovative ways in which Bitcoin enthusiasts 00:08:31.629 --> 00:08:34.210 are exploring the technology. Let's take a quick 00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:36.960 trip down memory lane. Ten years ago yesterday, 00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:39.320 the late Hal Finney made his final post on the 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.679 Bitcoin forum before logging off forever. Hal 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.259 was a true pioneer in the crypto space, and his 00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:47.799 contributions will always be remembered. We owe 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.259 a lot to visionaries like Hal, who helped pave 00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.360 the way for the success we see today. Now let's 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.379 shift our focus to some recent developments in 00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:58.659 the crypto market. Maple Finance is opening its 00:08:58.659 --> 00:09:01.159 treasury bill pool to accredited US investors. 00:09:01.529 --> 00:09:04.529 This move provides a secure and risk -free option 00:09:04.529 --> 00:09:07.370 for investors to manage their cash and potentially 00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:10.190 earn attractive returns. It's great to see more 00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:12.450 opportunities for institutional investors to 00:09:12.450 --> 00:09:15.490 get involved in the crypto space. Another interesting 00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:18.250 update comes from Galaxy Digital. They reported 00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:20.830 a substantial reduction in net loss for the last 00:09:20.830 --> 00:09:23.629 quarter, thanks to the resurging Bitcoin prices. 00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:26.389 This is a positive sign for the overall market, 00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:29.169 as it demonstrates the potential for profitability 00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:32.519 and growth in the crypto industry. Aptos Token, 00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:35.820 APT, also made headlines recently, with a 13 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.320 % surge in price following its integration with 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.399 Microsoft AI. This partnership aims to drive 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.419 Web3 adoption and showcases the growing interest 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:46.940 from major players in leveraging blockchain technology 00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:51.500 for various applications. Coinbase Ethereum L2 00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:54.950 recently launched its mainnet. attracting $142 00:09:54.950 --> 00:09:57.950 million onto its network. The launch further 00:09:57.950 --> 00:10:00.370 solidifies Ethereum's position as the leading 00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:02.990 blockchain platform for decentralized applications. 00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:05.929 It's exciting to see the ecosystem expanding 00:10:05.929 --> 00:10:09.110 and attracting significant investment. In a surprising 00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:12.830 move, Amazon is giving away free gaming NFTs 00:10:12.830 --> 00:10:16.269 to its prime subscribers. This initiative adds 00:10:16.269 --> 00:10:19.210 another dimension to the NFT space and exposes 00:10:19.210 --> 00:10:21.789 more people to the concept of digital ownership. 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.360 It'll be interesting to see how this experiment 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.320 unfolds, and if other major platforms follow 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.299 suit. Shifting our attention to the regulatory 00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:34.120 landscape, Maxine Waters, a top Democrat, has 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.799 expressed deep concerns over the launch of PayPal's 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.500 stablecoin. She believes that federal regulators 00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:42.220 must play a role in overseeing the industry to 00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:45.049 ensure consumer protection and stability. This 00:10:45.049 --> 00:10:47.429 highlights the ongoing debate around regulation 00:10:47.429 --> 00:10:50.210 and its impact on the crypto market. Let's wrap 00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:52.289 up with an exciting development in the metaverse. 00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:55.269 Decentraland, an Ethereum -powered metaverse 00:10:55.269 --> 00:10:58.429 game, is using AI to make the virtual world feel 00:10:58.429 --> 00:11:01.230 more alive. You can now have conversations with 00:11:01.230 --> 00:11:04.789 an AI bot or interact with a BuffDoge bodybuilder. 00:11:05.049 --> 00:11:07.549 This integration adds a new layer of immersion 00:11:07.549 --> 00:11:09.970 and interactivity to the metaverse experience. 00:11:10.610 --> 00:11:13.279 Before we go, We can't forget to mention Ethereum 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.519 co -founder Vitalik Buterin's recent comments 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.539 on Sam Bankman Fried, the founder of FTX. Vitalik 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:22.440 expressed that the crypto community never really 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.000 respected Sam, highlighting the complexities 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.139 and dynamics within the industry. He also touched 00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:31.299 on the impact of AI on jobs, noting both the 00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:33.879 negative and positive aspects of this technological 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.799 advancement. And that's a wrap for today's episode 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.700 of the Bitcoin Podcast. We hope you enjoyed this 00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:42.259 lively conversation packed with all the latest 00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:45.080 news and updates from the crypto world. Stay 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.480 tuned for more exciting discussions in our upcoming 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.759 episodes.

Happy crypto 00:11:56.789 --> 00:12:08.149 journey, folks! Hey there, today we have some 00:12:08.149 --> 00:12:10.889 interesting news to discuss. From AI fighter 00:12:10.889 --> 00:12:13.289 jets to the dominance of major US cities in the 00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:15.769 AI job market, there's a lot happening in the 00:12:15.769 --> 00:12:18.929 tech world. Let's jump right in. First up, we 00:12:18.929 --> 00:12:21.289 have Kratos Defense, a company that is on a mission 00:12:21.289 --> 00:12:24.370 to redefine air combat by incorporating artificial 00:12:24.370 --> 00:12:27.059 intelligence. Their goal is to bring about a 00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:29.559 new era of AI -enhanced flight for the U .S. 00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:32.399 military. Imagine fighter jets equipped with 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.779 advanced AI capabilities, making air combat smarter 00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:38.580 and more efficient. Moving on, we have Johnny 00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:41.139 Lee, the general manager of games at Solana Foundation, 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.740 who recently shared some insights about the world 00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:46.960 of Web3 games. He believes that Web3 games need 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.820 to compete with all other games out there. He 00:12:49.820 --> 00:12:51.799 explains this further during an interview with 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.370 Decrypt's Jason Nelson. where he talks about 00:12:54.370 --> 00:12:57.309 Solana's PlayGG conference and shares his thoughts 00:12:57.309 --> 00:13:00.210 on crypto gaming and the Play to Earn concept. 00:13:00.710 --> 00:13:02.929 It's fascinating to see how blockchain technology 00:13:02.929 --> 00:13:06.009 is revolutionizing the gaming industry. Now let's 00:13:06.009 --> 00:13:08.909 talk about the AI job market. According to a 00:13:08.909 --> 00:13:11.570 report by the Brookings Institution, major U 00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:13.950 .S. cities are dominating the AI job market, 00:13:14.210 --> 00:13:16.409 leaving other locations at risk of becoming tech 00:13:16.409 --> 00:13:18.889 deserts. While some cities are thriving and becoming 00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:21.590 hubs for AI talent, others are struggling to 00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:23.950 keep up. This raises important questions about 00:13:23.950 --> 00:13:26.070 the distribution of tech opportunities across 00:13:26.070 --> 00:13:29.250 different regions. In legal news, the Supreme 00:13:29.250 --> 00:13:31.409 Court has recently ruled that Apple App Store 00:13:31.409 --> 00:13:34.629 rules can stand, at least for now. This decision 00:13:34.629 --> 00:13:37.250 comes as a blow to Epic Games, as they continue 00:13:37.250 --> 00:13:39.570 to fight against what they perceive as unfair 00:13:39.570 --> 00:13:42.029 competition from Apple. It seems like there's 00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:44.090 still a long road ahead in this battle between 00:13:44.090 --> 00:13:46.629 the two tech giants. Speaking of legal battles, 00:13:46.769 --> 00:13:48.990 the SEC plans to appeal the ruling regarding 00:13:48.990 --> 00:13:52.370 XRP sales in the Ripple case. The SEC is seeking 00:13:52.370 --> 00:13:55.049 an interlocutory appeal of Judge Torres' ruling. 00:13:55.769 --> 00:13:58.230 This ongoing saga between Ripple and the SEC 00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:01.090 has been closely watched by the crypto community, 00:14:01.629 --> 00:14:03.809 as it could set a precedent for future regulation 00:14:03.809 --> 00:14:06.730 in the industry. Now let's dive into the world 00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:10.110 of decentralized social networks. A creator is 00:14:10.110 --> 00:14:12.149 working on a project called Friends Forever, 00:14:12.769 --> 00:14:14.809 which aims to build a social graph on Bitcoin 00:14:14.809 --> 00:14:17.649 using ordinals. This project aligns with the 00:14:17.649 --> 00:14:20.169 Web3 ethos and could contribute to the development 00:14:20.169 --> 00:14:23.190 of a more decentralized social network. It's 00:14:23.190 --> 00:14:26.029 fascinating to see how Bitcoin, originally designed 00:14:26.029 --> 00:14:28.830 as a digital currency, is being utilized for 00:14:28.830 --> 00:14:31.370 diverse purposes within the blockchain ecosystem. 00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:34.529 Shifting gears, we have some news about DGODS 00:14:34.529 --> 00:14:39.649 and Y00Ts. D Labs, the team behind DGods, has 00:14:39.649 --> 00:14:43.669 decided to move Y00Ts from Polygon to Ethereum, 00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:47.309 ultimately bringing it to the same chain as DGods. 00:14:47.809 --> 00:14:50.110 This decision highlights the dynamic nature of 00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:52.990 the crypto space, where projects often adapt 00:14:52.990 --> 00:14:55.610 and evolve based on user feedback and market 00:14:55.610 --> 00:14:58.889 conditions. In the world of social media, Twitter 00:14:58.889 --> 00:15:01.929 loses its appeal of a contempt ruling and faces 00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:05.129 a hefty fine over Donald Trump's account. This 00:15:05.129 --> 00:15:07.250 legal battle raises important questions about 00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:09.590 online platforms responsibilities and the extent 00:15:09.590 --> 00:15:12.070 to which they can moderate or restrict political 00:15:12.070 --> 00:15:15.470 figures. Google, known for its hunger for data, 00:15:15.870 --> 00:15:18.529 stands ready to use your online content to train 00:15:18.529 --> 00:15:22.070 its AI models. However, concerns have been raised 00:15:22.070 --> 00:15:24.090 about the potential cost of this data -driven 00:15:24.090 --> 00:15:26.570 approach. We're left to wonder how the balance 00:15:26.570 --> 00:15:28.889 between privacy and technological advancements 00:15:28.889 --> 00:15:31.649 will be struck in the future. Moving on to the 00:15:31.649 --> 00:15:34.159 music industry, there's an exciting development 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:38.120 called Bolero Song Shares. Bolero Music has introduced 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.799 a blockchain -based model that allows fans to 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.480 invest in music and provides them with a fraction 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.679 of a song's master recording. This innovative 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.179 concept has the potential to revolutionize the 00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:52.460 way music is shared, appreciated, and monetized. 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.899 Shifting our focus to the global economy, Circle 00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:59.000 CEO Jeremy Allaire warns that the dollar's strength 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.480 is under threat. In a pro crypto advertisement, 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.340 Allaire urges the US to make a choice regarding 00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:08.080 digital currencies, emphasizing the challenges 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.700 the dollar currently faces. This adds another 00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:13.179 layer to the ongoing discussions about the future 00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:16.299 of fiat currencies in a digital world. Lastly, 00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:19.049 let's take a look at the world of trading. Apto's 00:16:19.049 --> 00:16:21.289 futures demand hits a three -month high as traders 00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:24.549 rush to short APT token. This surge in demand 00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:27.029 comes in the wake of a hyped new AI partnership 00:16:27.029 --> 00:16:29.809 with Microsoft and a massive token unlock happening 00:16:29.809 --> 00:16:32.590 this weekend. It's interesting to see how market 00:16:32.590 --> 00:16:35.350 dynamics and partnerships can influence investor 00:16:35.350 --> 00:16:38.269 sentiment and trading activity. That's all for 00:16:38.269 --> 00:16:40.929 today's Tech News Roundup. We covered a wide 00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:44.100 range of topics. from AI in the military to the 00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:46.580 future of the global economy and the evolving 00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:49.740 world of decentralized technologies. Stay tuned 00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:51.600 for more exciting updates in the tech world, 00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:54.039 and until then, keep exploring and embracing 00:16:54.039 --> 00:17:13.119 innovation.

This signals positive 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.579 momentum for the token and demonstrates the growing 00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:26.640 interest in Ethereum -based assets. Speaking 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.539 of stablecoins, PayPal recently introduced its 00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:32.880 own PYUSD stablecoin. This move has attracted 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.700 attention, prompting comments from Tether's Paolo 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:38.910 Arduino and industry experts. The entry of major 00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:41.150 players like PayPal into the stablecoin market 00:17:41.150 --> 00:17:43.670 showcases the increasing adoption and acceptance 00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:46.710 of digital currencies. In other news, Bitcoin, 00:17:46.890 --> 00:17:50.529 BTC, has been on a wild ride soaring to $1 .30k. 00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:53.490 The bullish momentum has traders eyeing the next 00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:56.509 level as they analyze the Bitcoin price. This 00:17:56.509 --> 00:17:58.309 surge has brought Bitcoin into the spotlight 00:17:58.309 --> 00:18:01.109 once again, capturing the attention of investors 00:18:01.109 --> 00:18:04.420 and enthusiasts alike. The intersection of artificial 00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:06.940 intelligence, AI, and blockchain technology is 00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:09.839 an area of great potential. Aptos, a leading 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.319 technology company, has partnered with Microsoft 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.160 to explore and advance this exciting combination. 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.220 This collaboration could pave the way for innovative 00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:21.099 solutions that leverage the power of AI and blockchain 00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:24.660 in various industries. Mark Yusko, a prominent 00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:27.099 figure in the crypto space, recently expressed 00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:30.460 his concerns about Ripple, XRP. He highlighted 00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:32.799 the ongoing issues surrounding its susceptibility 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.500 to corruption and the lack of significant adoption. 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.180 These points raise important considerations about 00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:40.420 the future trajectory of Ripple and its potential 00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:43.539 for mainstream adoption. In the world of decentralized 00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:48.160 finance, DeFi, MuesliSwap, a Cardano -based platform, 00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:51.960 faced significant slippage issues. However, there 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.500 is good news for affected users as they will 00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:57.390 be reimbursed for the losses they incurred. This 00:18:57.390 --> 00:18:59.670 demonstrates the commitment of projects within 00:18:59.670 --> 00:19:03.289 the Cardano ecosystem to prioritize user satisfaction 00:19:03.289 --> 00:19:07.009 and address any challenges that arise. Moving 00:19:07.009 --> 00:19:10.009 on to regulatory matters, El Salvador has become 00:19:10.009 --> 00:19:12.529 the latest country to grant regulatory approval 00:19:12.529 --> 00:19:15.490 to Binance. This development highlights the continued 00:19:15.490 --> 00:19:17.690 efforts of Binance to comply with regulations 00:19:17.690 --> 00:19:20.849 and expand its global reach. It also signals 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:23.609 the growing recognition of cryptocurrency exchanges 00:19:23.609 --> 00:19:26.130 as legitimate players in the financial landscape. 00:19:26.589 --> 00:19:29.730 On a lighter note, Elon Musk's lawyers have made 00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:32.309 a move to dismiss a frivolous Dogecoin fraud 00:19:32.309 --> 00:19:35.430 case. This legal action showcases the unique 00:19:35.430 --> 00:19:38.349 challenges and controversies surrounding meme 00:19:38.349 --> 00:19:41.329 -inspired cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. It 00:19:41.329 --> 00:19:44.269 will be interesting to see how this case unfolds 00:19:44.269 --> 00:19:46.470 and whether it sets any precedents for future 00:19:46.470 --> 00:19:49.170 legal proceedings in the crypto world. the U 00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:51.029 .S. Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, 00:19:51.650 --> 00:19:54.190 is currently evaluating the possibility of approving 00:19:54.190 --> 00:19:58.190 multiple -spot BTC exchange -traded funds, ETFs, 00:19:58.190 --> 00:20:01.490 at the same time. Kathy Wood, a prominent investor, 00:20:01.970 --> 00:20:04.210 believes this could be a significant development 00:20:04.210 --> 00:20:06.910 for the cryptocurrency market. The potential 00:20:06.910 --> 00:20:10.609 approval of BTC ETFs could open doors for wider 00:20:10.609 --> 00:20:13.630 institutional participation and potentially drive 00:20:13.630 --> 00:20:16.970 further growth in the crypto space. Amidst ongoing 00:20:16.970 --> 00:20:20.710 legal battles, XRP institutional interest continues 00:20:20.710 --> 00:20:23.910 to soar, despite the SEC's intention to appeal 00:20:23.910 --> 00:20:26.750 the judge's decision in the Ripple case. This 00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:29.130 resilience displayed by institutional players 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:31.589 highlights their confidence in the long -term 00:20:31.589 --> 00:20:35.569 prospects of XRP and reflects the broader sentiment 00:20:35.569 --> 00:20:38.690 surrounding the cryptocurrency market. In the 00:20:38.690 --> 00:20:40.890 ever -changing landscape of cryptocurrencies, 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:44.069 there are always stories of what could have been. 00:20:44.410 --> 00:20:46.769 A billionaire recently revealed their regret 00:20:46.769 --> 00:20:49.210 of not buying Bitcoin when it was priced at $100. 00:20:50.109 --> 00:20:52.609 This sentiment resonates with many individuals 00:20:52.609 --> 00:20:54.910 who have witnessed the tremendous growth of Bitcoin 00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:58.049 over the years. However, it's important to remember 00:20:58.049 --> 00:21:01.529 that hindsight is always 20 -20, and wise investment 00:21:01.529 --> 00:21:04.869 decisions require careful analysis and consideration. 00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.220 The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the 00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:11.099 SEC took an interesting turn when Ripple's lead 00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:15.299 lawyer criticized the SEC's appeal request. This 00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:17.660 highlights the contentious nature of the case 00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:20.119 and the differing perspectives between the two 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.880 parties. Additionally, an important date was 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.299 revealed, adding an element of anticipation to 00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:28.119 the proceedings. Amidst the speculation and debate 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:31.000 surrounding Tether, CryptoQuant has chimed in 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.960 to discuss whether Tether is truly the 11th biggest 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.140 Bitcoin holder. The analysis adds an intriguing 00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:39.440 angle to the ongoing discussions surrounding 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.380 the controversial stablecoin. As the fluctuating 00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:45.140 market continues to make waves, Bitcoin recently 00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:47.859 experienced a retreat from the $1 .30k mark, 00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:52.099 while XRP faced a slump towards 60 cents. Market 00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:54.160 watchers are carefully observing these movements, 00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:57.420 analyzing the potential implications for the 00:21:57.420 --> 00:22:01.019 overall cryptocurrency market. Lastly, let's 00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:03.559 talk about long -term Bitcoin holders who have 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.519 truly reaped the benefits of their patients. 00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:09.779 One miner proudly shared their story of not selling 00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:12.400 any Bitcoin for a staggering 13 years and profiting 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.559 millions. This tale serves as a reminder of the 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.680 potential rewards that can come from holding 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.259 on to cryptocurrencies for extended periods. 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:22.819 And that's a wrap for today's cryptocurrency 00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:25.859 news. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting 00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:28.279 developments in the fascinating world of digital 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:40.190 assets. So let's dive into the fascinating world 00:22:40.190 --> 00:22:42.609 of Nostr's apps and value for value podcasts. 00:22:43.309 --> 00:22:45.089 If you're a podcast enthusiast, you may have 00:22:45.089 --> 00:22:46.829 already come across these terms and wondered 00:22:46.829 --> 00:22:49.009 what they're all about. Well, we're here to unravel 00:22:49.009 --> 00:22:51.130 the mystery for you. First things first, what 00:22:51.130 --> 00:22:54.769 exactly are Nostr's apps? Well, Nostr's apps 00:22:54.769 --> 00:22:57.029 are a revolutionary form of podcast sponsorship 00:22:57.029 --> 00:22:59.170 that has been making waves in the podcasting 00:22:59.170 --> 00:23:01.920 community. It's a term coined to describe a unique 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.500 approach where listeners have the power to directly 00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:07.180 support their favorite podcasts with Bitcoin 00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:10.420 and Lightning Network transactions. Now you might 00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:12.880 be wondering, what on earth is Bitcoin and Lightning 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.460 Network? And how do they fit into all of this? 00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.140 Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that 00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:22.059 operates on a technology called blockchain. It's 00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:24.660 not controlled by any single entity, such as 00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:27.119 a government or a bank. which makes it a game 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.359 changer in the financial world. But what does 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.039 Bitcoin have to do with podcasts, you ask? Enter 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.519 the Lightning Network. The Lightning Network 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.180 is an innovative second layer solution that sits 00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:39.980 on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It allows for 00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:42.700 faster and more scalable transactions, making 00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:45.339 micro transactions feasible and cost effective. 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.880 And that's where Nostra's apps come into play. 00:23:48.250 --> 00:23:51.029 With Nostra's apps, podcast listeners can send 00:23:51.029 --> 00:23:53.750 small amounts of Bitcoin directly to their favorite 00:23:53.750 --> 00:23:56.329 podcasters as a token of appreciation for their 00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:58.869 work. It's like tipping your barista for a job 00:23:58.869 --> 00:24:01.809 well done, but in the world of podcasting. This 00:24:01.809 --> 00:24:04.509 direct interaction between listeners and podcasters 00:24:04.509 --> 00:24:07.190 creates a whole new level of engagement and support 00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:09.809 within the podcasting community. But Nostra's 00:24:09.809 --> 00:24:12.369 apps are just one piece of the puzzle. The bigger 00:24:12.369 --> 00:24:16.029 picture is the concept of value for value podcasts. 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:19.619 Value for Value is an innovative podcasting model 00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:22.599 that aims to empower content creators and build 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.079 a sustainable ecosystem for podcasting. It challenges 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.640 the traditional advertising model and puts the 00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.079 power back into the hands of both podcasters 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.440 and listeners. In a Value for Value podcast, 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.259 the content is offered for free, but listeners 00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:39.380 are encouraged to contribute directly to the 00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:41.680 creators based on the value they receive. This 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.440 can be done through various means, such as Nostra's 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.680 apps with Bitcoin and Lightning Network or through 00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.079 other forms of support like merchandise purchases 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.680 or monthly subscriptions. Value for Value podcasts 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.059 are built on the idea that content creators should 00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:57.680 be rewarded directly by their audience rather 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.839 than relying solely on advertising revenue. This 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.559 model allows podcasters to maintain their independence 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.579 and focus on creating high quality content without 00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:08.799 having to compromise their artistic vision for 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.730 the sake of advertisers. Not only does the value 00:25:11.730 --> 00:25:14.509 for value model offer a more sustainable and 00:25:14.509 --> 00:25:16.910 equitable way for podcasters to monetize their 00:25:16.910 --> 00:25:19.430 work, but it also fosters a deeper connection 00:25:19.430 --> 00:25:22.569 between podcasters and their audience. By directly 00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:25.029 supporting their favorite podcasts, listeners 00:25:25.029 --> 00:25:27.869 become active participants in the creation process, 00:25:28.369 --> 00:25:30.910 investing in the content they love and enabling 00:25:30.910 --> 00:25:34.289 its continuous growth. The rise of Nostra's apps 00:25:34.289 --> 00:25:37.210 and value for value podcasts represents a paradigm 00:25:37.210 --> 00:25:40.140 shift in the podcasting industry. It challenges 00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:42.940 the traditional advertising -driven model and 00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:45.140 promotes a more community -centered approach 00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:47.680 where the value of the content is determined 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.839 by the listeners themselves. So, whether you're 00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.460 a podcast listener or a content creator, it's 00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:55.700 worth exploring the world of Nostr's apps and 00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:58.339 value -for -value podcasts. It's a fascinating 00:25:58.339 --> 00:26:01.160 frontier that not only has the potential to revolutionize 00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.119 the podcasting landscape, but also offers a more 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.440 direct and meaningful way to engage with the 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:09.519 content you love. In conclusion, Nostra's apps 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.000 and value for value podcasts are reshaping the 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.960 podcasting landscape, offering a new way for 00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.740 podcasters and listeners to connect and support 00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:20.700 each other. With the power of Bitcoin and Lightning 00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:23.960 Network, podcasting is entering a new era of 00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.220 engagement and sustainability. So why not join 00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:30.359 the movement and become an active participant 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:32.859 in this exciting evolution of the podcasting 00:26:32.859 --> 00:26:36.220 world? Your favorite podcasts will thank you 00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:38.859 and you'll be part of something bigger than just 00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:50.640 passive consumption. Noster's apps have taken 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.279 the podcasting industry by storm, leaving many 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.819 perplexed yet intrigued. Unlike traditional sponsorships 00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:59.059 where advertisers pay podcasters to promote their 00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:02.000 products or services, Noster's apps embrace a 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.940 new approach. Listeners voluntarily contribute 00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:07.579 directly to the podcasters, acknowledging the 00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:09.720 value they receive and supporting their favorite 00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:12.920 shows. This innovative sponsorship model empowers 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.619 podcasters to maintain their creative independence 00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:18.200 while fostering a deeper connection with their 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.819 audience. No longer reliant on the whims of advertisers, 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.059 podcasters are free to deliver authentic content 00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:28.400 and pursue their passions. In turn, listeners 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.420 feel a sense of ownership over the shows they 00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:33.079 support, knowing that their contributions directly 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.380 contribute to the podcast's longevity and growth. 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.700 Value for value, V for V. Podcasting is a paradigm 00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:43.200 shift that places the value exchange between 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.019 podcasters and listeners at the forefront. In 00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:48.579 this model, listeners are encouraged to determine 00:27:48.579 --> 00:27:51.640 the value they receive from a podcast and contribute 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.420 accordingly. This unique arrangement allows for 00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:56.599 a more equitable distribution of resources and 00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.599 rewards, content creators for their dedication 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.789 and talent. V4V podcasts encourage listeners 00:28:03.789 --> 00:28:06.470 to contribute not only financially, but also 00:28:06.470 --> 00:28:09.069 through engagement and support, fostering a sense 00:28:09.069 --> 00:28:11.869 of community and participation. Whether it be 00:28:11.869 --> 00:28:14.529 leaving a positive review, sharing episodes with 00:28:14.529 --> 00:28:17.250 friends, or actively discussing the content on 00:28:17.250 --> 00:28:20.069 social media, listeners become an integral part 00:28:20.069 --> 00:28:23.109 of the success of the podcast. This reciprocal 00:28:23.109 --> 00:28:25.869 relationship nurtures a loyal and dedicated fan 00:28:25.869 --> 00:28:28.390 base that drives the growth and sustainability 00:28:28.390 --> 00:28:31.599 of the show. While Noster's apps represent a 00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.599 novel approach to podcast sponsorship, understanding 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:37.859 the true value exchange is crucial. The key lies 00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:41.000 in recognizing that Noster's apps go beyond monetary 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.980 contributions. They serve as a tangible expression 00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:46.140 of the appreciation and support listeners have 00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:49.059 for the podcast and its host. Noster's apps are 00:28:49.059 --> 00:28:51.420 a testament to the meaningful impact podcasts 00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:54.380 have on listeners lives. It is an acknowledgement 00:28:54.380 --> 00:28:57.000 that the content and experiences delivered through 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.019 these shows hold significant value and deserve 00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:03.400 recognition. The value exchanged is not solely 00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:05.940 transactional, but rather an emotional connection 00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:08.960 and appreciation for the creators and the community 00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.420 they have nurtured. Nostra's apps and value -for 00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.480 -value podcasting have revolutionized the traditional 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.660 sponsorship model, prioritizing the direct connection 00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:21.799 between podcasters and listeners. These phenomena 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.500 have empowered podcasters to create content true 00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:27.640 to their vision and fostered a loyal fan base. 00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:30.240 Simultaneously, listeners are given the opportunity 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.220 to actively engage, support, and contribute to 00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:36.480 the podcasts they cherish. As the podcasting 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.539 landscape continues to evolve, Nostr's apps and 00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:43.079 V4V podcasts pave the way for a more collaborative 00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.980 and equitable future.
