⚡Node Plan in El Salvador⚡
El Salvador aims to decentralize financial operations and increase economic autonomy by installing Bitcoin nodes across the country. Its goal is to reduce dependence on banking systems through decentralized financial networks. This could allow citizens to use safer and more accessible financial tools.
However, skeptics doubt the deployment due to its obvious practical limits and its adaptation to the existing infrastructure. The technical configuration and maintenance of the nodes are aspects that financial experts do not take into account. But the long-term benefits could outweigh the initial difficulties.
Installing #Bitcoin nodes in each home requires technical knowledge, a functional Internet and high energy consumption. The initiative could disappoint citizens, as it diverts resources towards essential public services.
However, they could become a platform to promote financial inclusion and move away from centralized financial institutions, taking advantage of their attractiveness to attract global attention and investments over time.
The recent agreement of #Bitfinex and #Tether suggest that the business community is increasingly confident in the favorable framework of the Country. Although the Volcanic Bonds did not have the expected impact or the adoption of Bitcoin by the citizenry, they continue to be at the forefront of the ecosystem as if it were a "pilot country" ...

⚡Bitcoiners: A Friendly Reminder⚡
The day we understand that the risk factor is not synonymous with volatility is the day we will start working properly.
The risk factor is inversely proportional to your knowledge. The more knowledge you have about the asset on which you deposit your liquidity, the lower the risk will be.
Consequently, the greater the knowledge, the more management of risk and volatility of the asset you are working with. In other words, if you invest in something you do not know and it has a high risk, it will be easier for the volatility of the asset to affect your investment.
Therefore, any asset or investment vehicle in which we trust our wealth and that we have not researched, tested, and verified in moderate amounts to observe its prior behavior, the exposure to failure is greater.

⚡Bitcoin ETFs: One Year Later⚡
A year ago, the SEC approved the first ETFs of #Bitcoin allowing investors to access the digital asset market indirectly and diversely. Let's review their visible impact:
📊 The price of #Bitcoin has experienced a growth of 103.51%, driven by renewed confidence.
📉 They have facilitated the entry of institutional investors, with more than one million units acquired through these funds.
💱 They have served as a bridge between traditional finance and the ecosystem, allowing exposure without the need to trade directly.
🔐 A greater focus on regulation and security, improving perception in the global market.
Before discussing future expectations, let's also review their possible "indirect" impact:
🔸Greater investment from major players also implies the possibility of manipulating the price of #Bitcoin
🔸Mining companies are focusing their computing power, leading more exposed countries to take more "decision-making power".
🔸The creation of strategic reserves through #ETF may be sufficient reason for censorship or misinformation regarding self-custody.
I pose a question to you, dear reader: does it sacrifice the price to the real value of an asset like #Bitcoin?

⚡Ecosystem 2025: What to expect?⚡
If history has taught us anything, it's that 34424814436 usually follow big Bitcoin moves. However, estimating how big those price moves will be is impossible.
And that's because in at least the three years until next year, usage (adoption) and value (revenue capture) must increase by many orders of magnitude to see that increase, especially large-cap altcoins.
Altcoin dominance skyrockets as of May 2021. These coins gained significant ground in the market, and the combined market cap of the top 100 altcoins reached 1.3 times that of Bitcoin.
We can say that we have entered a new level of narrative dominance. While #memecoin might outperform sectors like real-world assets or AI, these two are in a league of their own and are often considered the driving force behind the next supercycle.
Institutional adoption has impacted sectors like real-world assets legitimizing tokenization. While most of the attention is focused on AI and its agents, traditional finance is exploring #tokenizacion as a viable business option trying to revolutionize the financial market.
Projects with strong fundamentals or those aligned with emerging narratives will outperform. Quality over quantity, active teams, and ideally, a product-market fit that excites a large community.
Corrections are healthy. They signal consolidation and allow investors to enter positions before the next bull run. Altcoin seasons typically occur in the later stages of a bull run.
The market is maturing. Each cycle should be considered a learning lesson. Trending narratives like 95191634111 are not fleeting. The question is not if altcoin season will happen, but when and how different it will be from previous years.

⚡El Salvador: Bitcoin U-Turn?⚡
El Salvador will either privatize or close the#Chivocryptocurrency wallet created by President Nayib Bukele when he made bitcoin legal tender in 2021. The announcement came Thursday, after the government reached a $1.4 billion loan deal with the International Monetary Fund that addressed its controversial adoption.
While Bitcoin remains legal tender in El Salvador, Chivo “will be sold or liquidated,” wrote Stacy Herbert, director of the National Bitcoin Office, adding: “El Salvador will continue to purchase bitcoin (possibly at an accelerated pace) for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”
The IMF said Wednesday that under the loan agreement, acceptance of#Bitcoinby the Salvadoran private sector would be voluntary, adding that risks related to the asset “are being mitigated.” “For the public sector, participation in related economic activities and transactions will be limited.”
In 2021, El Salvador became the first country to establish Bitcoin as legal tender, in an attempt to revitalize a dollarized and remittance-dependent economy. On December 1, he acknowledged in a speech that it had been “the most unpopular measure that this government has taken.”
Could this be a change of course to establish Bitcoin as a Government reserve, and arguing that it is “underused” or “inappropriate” to enter into a confiscation process? Are we on the verge of a second-generation #BrettonWoods?

The announcement of a 38684368957strategic has driven a price rally, the news also comes at a time when geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties push countries like Russia to consider similar strategies.
#WallStreet has not been immune to the meteoric rise, and the market is now considered a vital element of future financial strategies. Elon Musk who recently hinted at Tesla's renewed interest in Bitcoin, has also joined in on the growing momentum.

⚡Assessment and Strategy for a Bitcoin Reserve for the United States⚡
✒️The recent document from the Bitcoin Policy Institute proposes that central banks adopt #Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Here are the key points:
🔸Protection against inflation and geopolitical risks: It is presented as an effective tool for protection against inflation, geopolitical risks, capital controls, sovereign default, bank bankruptcies, and international sanctions.
🔸Portfolio diversification: Economist Matthew Ferranti argues that Bitcoin is an "effective portfolio diversifier" due to its low correlation with other financial instruments.
🔸Hedge against sovereign defaults: It has no counterparty risk, making it an effective hedge against sovereign defaults and financial sanctions.
🔸Comparison with gold: Although it is not a solution for all Central Banks, it shares similar store of value and hedging properties to gold, especially against rapid currency depreciation.
🔸Legislative initiative: Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a bill to establish a strategic reserve of #Bitcoin in the Department of the Treasury, aiming to acquire 5% of the total supply over time.
🔸Support from opinion leaders: Michael Saylor, CEO of #Microstrategy , has compared this initiative to the historic Louisiana Purchase, highlighting its potential to transform the U.S. economy.

⚡Bitcoin and its Spiral Clock⚡
🌀 The "Bitcoin spiral clock" is a graphical representation that shows its price cycles over time. It uses a spiral to illustrate how it has evolved in different phases of its market cycle that are generally associated with #halving (halving of the reward per mined block).
🔄 This event, scheduled approximately every four years, has a significant impact on the supply of new units and can therefore influence its price as in the different phases of the cycle:
🔸Accumulation: Post-halving period where the price is relatively stable.
🔸Rise: The price begins to rise as interest and demand increases.
🔸Euphoria: The price reaches historical highs, driven by speculation and high demand.
🔸Correction: The price corrects and stabilizes, starting a new market cycle.
⏰ This helps investors and analysts observe and understand cycles, allowing them to make informed decisions based on historical patterns. The phases are marked by recurring psychological states of investors, which adds a layer of emotional analysis to market behavior.
⌛ Dear reader, we have reached 1:30 on the spiral clock of #Bitcoin . Between 1:30 and 4:30 is when the true magic of the most perfectly designed architecture in cryptography happens, giving life and meaning to the authentic internet of money.

⚡Ripple: ETF at 12⚡
🌐 Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says it's "inevitable" that XRP will be offered via an exchange-traded fund (#ETF).
📝 After #Bitcoin spot funds took off, raising a whopping $17 billion since January, Brad notes that demand for crypto from institutions and retailers is undeniable.
⚖️ Despite #Ripple 's ongoing legal battle with the SEC, Garlinghouse is confident that ETFs will drive XRP's value up, just as we've seen with other cases. The question is: What could support this significant increase in its value in the ecosystem?
✒️ With Bitwise and Canary Capital already requesting these #ETF of #XRP , it seems that there are more financial institutions that could lead the way in this regard, even with the "legal battle" they have at hand. Whether it is a political strategy or not, Ripple operates in more countries and has more interests.

🌐 This rise has caused many analysts to be very skeptical of the value, pointing out that it could be overbought, although Benchmark strategists distance themselves from this group.
✒️ The firm believes that the "unique value" that MicroStrategy represents for the company's shareholders, and the ability to generate a compound return on their#Bitcoinholdings, is being overlooked.
✍🏻 "Using what management describes as 'smart leverage', it differentiates its actions from other alternative means of gaining exposure to #Bitcoin, such as #ETF ," Benchmark points out.
✏️ It has reiterated its 'buy' recommendation on the company's shares, for which it has also raised its target price: from $215 to $245.
📉 Since the last closing prices ($206.19), the valuation of #Benchmark draws a potential revaluation of close to 19% for the American firm.

⚡Bahrain: Hyperbitcoinization⚡
🏦 The National Bank of Bahrain has launched its first investment fund in #Bitcoin targeting institutional investors from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
⚙️ This fund was developed in partnership with ARP Digital, a firm specializing in digital assets, designed to provide exposure to Bitcoin, with gains limited to a predetermined limit and offering protection against falls.
🇧🇭 Bahrain has been working to attract digital asset companies, with the aim of creating a balanced environment for innovation in #Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and financial technology, establishing clear regulations that address both investor protection and business growth.
🇦🇪 The United Arab Emirates is also moving forward in this regard. In 2023, Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) issued comprehensive guidelines for #Web3 businesses including four mandatory rulebooks, seven activity-specific rulebooks, and one focused on virtual asset issuance.
📊 A Chainalysis report indicates that the Middle East and North Africa region accounted for 7.5% of the global #Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transaction volume between July 2023 and June 2024, a significant portion of institutional and professional investors via #CEX although they admit that #DEX is taking notable positions.
🏦 The National Bank of Bahrain has launched its first investment fund in #Bitcoin targeting institutional investors from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
⚙️ This fund was developed in partnership with ARP Digital, a firm specializing in digital assets, designed to provide exposure to Bitcoin, with gains limited to a predetermined limit and offering protection against falls.

⚡POW: Back to the origins⚡
🌐 Although #PoW has its drawbacks such as high energy consumption, it is still one of the most reliable and widely used consensus algorithms in the digital asset universe, especially in our pioneer friend.
⚒️ Proof of work is widely considered one of the best due to several key reasons:
🔐 Security: It requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions. This process consumes a significant amount of computational resources, making it expensive and difficult for attackers to compromise the network.
⛓️ Decentralization: It allows anyone with the right #hardware to participate in mining. This reduces the dependence on a central authority and distributes power across many participants.
💱 Double-spending prevention: It ensures that transactions cannot be spent twice. Miners verify each transaction and record it in the #blockchain , ensuring that each unit can only be spent once.
🪙 Aligned Incentives: Miners are rewarded with new #tokens for their work, which incentivizes them to act honestly and keep the network secure. This reward system ensures that miners have a financial stake in the integrity of the blockchain.
⛔ Censorship Resistance: Due to its decentralized nature and the difficulty of tampering with the distributed ledger system, it is effective in favor of those attempting to support censorship. No single individual or entity can effectively control the network or censor transactions.

⚡Bitcoin and its M2: A look at it⚡
📊 The #M2 is a measure of the money supply that includes not only cash and demand deposits (as in #M1), but also time deposits, money market funds, and other types of short-term deposits. In the context of the#Bitcoinmarket, M2 can refer to the total amount of money that is available to invest in the market.
✍🏻 In simpler terms, it represents the total liquidity that investors can use to buy #Bitcoin. This is important because a higher #M2 can indicate more money available to invest, which can potentially influence asset prices. Let's take a look at it:
🔹Available Liquidity: When the money supply increases, there is more money available in the economy. This can lead to more investors having additional funds to invest in assets like Bitcoin, which can increase demand and therefore the price.
🔹Inflation and the Value of Money: An increase in the money supply can lead to higher inflation, which reduces the value of fiat money. Thus, investors may seek refuge in assets that they consider safer or with a limited supply, such as Bitcoin.
🔹Monetary Policy: Decisions by central banks such as money printing or interest rates can play a role, such as expansionary policies that can cause investors to look for alternative assets such as #Bitcoin to protect themselves against the devaluation of fiat money.
🔹Market Expectations: If investors anticipate that the supply will continue to increase, they may choose to invest in Bitcoin in anticipation that its value will increase compared to fiat money.
🌐 These factors may make it seen as an attractive store of value in times of economic uncertainty. If #Bitcoin continues to follow the trajectory of the global#M2money supply, it is highly likely that we will see a new all-time high by the end of this year.

🌐Stellar and the Global Currency by The Economist🌐
🔎 In this post we will analyze the alleged relationship with two images separated in time and a third, from one of the magazines with the most "influence" in society. This magazine comes from pressure groups in the world related to the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) and the Bilderberg Club. Symbolism has always been present on its covers. Let's see:
📃 1988 cover: "Get ready for a world currency”
1️⃣ Currencies: Various types of burning bills appear.
2️⃣ Phoenix: The mythological bird represents the resurgence, the rebirth resulting from the burning of world currencies, holding a coin around its neck.
3️⃣ Currency: Represents that all those bills merge into a single currency, possibly a cryptocurrency.
3️⃣.1️⃣ Symbol: Refers to the golden number or the “golden number”. It represents perfection.
3️⃣.2️⃣ Year: As you can see, “2018”: and the article quotes: “Within thirty years, Americans, Japanese, Europeans and people from many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones, will probably pay for their purchases with the same currency.”
4️⃣ Crown: Represents leadership. Also add that a single world currency would imply a single world bank.
➡️ Cover Article 09/24/1988: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/1998/09/24/one-world-one-money
📃 2021 Cover: "Govcoins: The digital currencies that will transform finance".

🌐 Stellar Logo:
In 2014, Jed McCaleb, founder of Mt. Gox and co-founder of Ripple, launched the Stellar network system with former lawyer Joyce Kim. Before the official launch, McCaleb created a website called "Secret#BitcoinProject" in search of alpha testers.
In 2018, Stellar temporarily reached a market cap of over 12 billion $ and rose to its all-time high of 0.94

🌐Ripple and Stellar: Countdown🌐
⚖️ On October 7, the Security Exchange Commission will make public its intention to appeal (or not) the ruling issued by Judge Analisa Torres, who fined the Ripple company, issuer of the cryptocurrency #XRP , for 125 million dollars. In addition, it prohibited it from "continuing to violate the securities laws of the United States."
🗓️ This ruling was announced on August 7, 2024, after 4 years of litigation. In short, the court determined that institutional sales of #XRP did constitute securities, while programmatic sales and other distributions did not. Therefore, #XRP can be considered a security in certain circumstances (such as institutional sales), but not in others.
🧩 And while they play for time, both Ripple and the Stellar Development Foundation continue with their financial and technological developments, with their business alliances and with their agreements with other governments of the Planet.
🇺🇸 Dear reader, the problem will be for the United States if it does not join the rest of the global alliances to have a cross-border payment system supported by Ripple for Central Banks, and for the movement and liquidity of the same with Stellar. Do you really think that will be the case?
