According to Yahoo Finance, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. reached an agreement with Block Inc.'s Cash App to receive a salary of $750,000 in Bitcoin when he signed with the Los Angeles Rams back in 2021. Data from The Action Network, cited by Morningstar, shows that the price of Bitcoin on the day of redemption was $64,158. If these Bitcoins were calculated at a price of $100,000, their value would have reached $1,168,900, an increase of over 55%. Although it is unclear whether Odell Beckham Jr. has held onto the Bitcoin over the three-year period, it is reasonable to assume that his venture has paid off, as he confirmed last month that he is still collaborating with Cash App to receive his salary in Bitcoin. #bitcoin

After a mixed bag of data released this week, swap traders have reduced their bets on the Federal Reserve's easing policy path. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.82% this week, the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.64%, ending a three-week streak of gains, while the Nasdaq rose 0.34%. Bitcoin has increased for seven consecutive weeks, marking the longest streak since 2021. The last significant monetary policy week of 2024 will attract investor attention. According to statistics, at least 22 central banks, accounting for two-fifths of the global economy, will set borrowing costs by the close next Friday, and the outcomes are likely to highlight that, as policymakers weigh different risks for the year ahead, the momentum for easing policies now appears increasingly unbalanced. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week: Monday 15:30, ECB President Lagarde will speak; Tuesday 04:45, Bank of Canada Governor Macklem will speak; Thursday 03:00, the Federal Reserve will announce the interest rate decision and economic projections summary; Thursday 03:30, Federal Reserve Chair Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference; Thursday (exact time TBD), Bank of Japan will announce the interest rate decision; Thursday 14:30, Bank of Japan Governor Ueda will hold a monetary policy press conference; Thursday 21:30, the U.S. third-quarter annualized GDP growth rate revision, U.S. third-quarter real personal consumption expenditures preliminary rate, U.S. December Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index. It is worth mentioning that the Fed's preferred core inflation measure—the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE)—will be released next Friday, and economists predict that the PCE for November (excluding food and energy) may rise by 0.2%, which would be the smallest increase in three months. This report will also show robust growth in consumer spending and income, indicating economic resilience.

Billionaire and Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya posted on X: 'Quantum computing will pose a risk to v1 encryption methods. The timeframe is very unclear and not in the near term. But if I owned a lot of BTC, my risk posture would be to assume it could happen and plan accordingly.'
Now, any potential risks to Bitcoin can be addressed through forks, which deploy quantum-resistant cryptography for new transactions. That is to say, this cannot retroactively protect already exposed, un-migrated public keys. Funds in old p2pk addresses (dead accounts?) with exposed public keys will still be vulnerable to quantum computing attacks targeting ECDSA and will become a target.

DeFiLlama data shows that Jupiter's TVL exceeds 2.6 billion USD, currently at 2.609 billion USD, setting a new historical high.

Paradigm data researcher Storm stated on X that Ethereum is a Trojan horse. When institutions adopt Ethereum, they inadvertently hegemonize its core principles of decentralization, transparency, and open-source software.
In response, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko stated: 'If we want things to unfold this way, it would be a good thing to provide functionality equivalent to L2 'stages' or zkEVM 'types' for applications built on Ethereum. We should define Schelling Points for different levels of trustlessness to encourage benevolent institutions to converge towards them. (Note: Schelling Points are the tendencies for people to make choices in game theory without communication, and this choice may be made because it seems natural, special, or related to the chooser.)

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra stated at a seminar that Trump might repay U.S. debt using Bitcoin, while particularly emphasizing that this is not an encouragement for everyone to buy Bitcoin, but a reminder that this is a trend. Currently, various cryptocurrencies have emerged, and some say that the number of future currencies may exceed the number of countries. The Thai people must keep up with the times and understand these changes. Thaksin also suggested that the Prime Minister could instruct the Ministry of Finance to study whether Bitcoin could be accepted in Thailand, for example, by piloting the use of Bitcoin in Phuket, allowing Bitcoin holders to make payments locally.
