⚡Thoughts from the Ark: The Lungs of Bitcoin⚡

•Bitcoin mining and its computing rate are becoming relevant points for the major world powers. And it is that they face a challenge if they want not only to guarantee and secure the network to keep it stable, but also to preserve its sustainability due to the high demand for electrical energy and specialized hardware that it requires.

•In addition to being subject to the regulations and laws of each country affecting its profitability and legality, it is important to locate its position in places where electricity is cheaper and the weather conditions are favorable. The percentage of renewables that can be combined to balance both consumption and extraction power will depend on this.

•It does not escape anyone's eyes that the nations that make up the #BRICS alliance have among them a remarkably high percentage of both computing power and renewable energy that can sustain the network, their increasing interest in both regulation and adoption itself glimpses the path they are taking.

•The Atlantic alliance leads the computing power but is not the most technologically advanced, with this information they are trying to redirect their strategies to achieve a better location for their equipment and renewable energies that may be less expensive and more efficient, although it is true that the regulatory framework favors them.

•After all the noise around the ecosystem, the world powers are dedicated to optimizing their natural, technological and geostrategic resources to be prepared when the #Bitcoin supply and demand shock knocks on the door, with the #Halving.

⚡ Reflections from the Ark. Last Station: Money⚡

🌐 We generally assume that the world is becoming a better place every year, but when it comes to individual freedoms, the opposite is true. Most studies show that humanity is now less free than it was several years ago.

⏳ Twenty years ago we had a decentralized Internet and a relatively unrestricted banking system. Today, Apple and Google censor information and apps on our phones, while Visa and Mastercard restrict goods and services. We cede power and control to irresponsible people we don't elect.

🛰️ Most of us wear tracking devices and allow corporations to use our private data to bombard us with content that distracts us with low-quality entertainment. Now we are surrounded by surveillance cameras, remember: All for your safety.

🇨🇳 In 2017 China overtook the United States as the world's largest economy by purchasing power, showing the world that individual freedoms are not necessary for economic development. Watching China's success, more countries are turning authoritarian, curbing essential human rights like freedom of speech, movement, and assembly.

🧠 The most active and creative minds are too busy playing in the "free enterprise" bubble or churning out digital content to keep everyone else glued to their devices for longer. The rest seem too distracted by the abundance of cheap digital entertainment to critically assess the trend and take action.

🤔 And I wonder what the legacy of our generation will be. Will we go down in history as those who let free societies turn into dystopian nightmares? Or will we be remembered as those who stood up for the freedoms that previous generations fought so hard for?

⚡Reflections from the Ark: The game of money⚡

Let's imagine a scenario in which the only Bank in the World only has 100 gold coins, which is the existing amount.

Now let's imagine that there are only ten people in the World, in addition to the Bank, who need 10 coins to buy goods and services, and the Bank offers us its 100 gold coins to circulate, in exchange for 10% interest.

The resulting formula is that each person will have to return 11 coins in the duration of the loan, right? If at the end of the loan there are 110 coins from the 10 people, it means that there are 10 coins in interest in total that will never be able to be paid, no matter what happens.

But here comes the Bank's "solution" for its client: return only one of the 10 coins that have been lent, that is, the interest, and the following year they will return the entire amount to me.

However, if 10 people access this "solution", they will owe the Bank the initial loan having only 9 coins, having the same debt and with less money.

If we repeat this operation for 10 years, we can see that the Bank has recovered its 100 gold coins, and the 10 creditors will continue to owe the same debt, with the difference that they will never be able to return gold coins that are no longer in their possession. power, with which they do not exist.

Perhaps now it is easier to understand what the true purpose of #Bitcoin is and what its technology has revealed to us.

⚡Reflections from the Ark: If you talk about Blockchain, don't think about Blockchain ⚡

Speaking in technical terminology can be very "cool" among references or experienced voices in the#blockchainsector and ecosystem.

But we are forgetting that huge sector of the population that, in the same way that happened with the#internetera, did not understand the conceptualization and only wanted to know how it worked to understand.

So for that essential reason for authentic adoption:

⛓️It talks about #Blockchain as a digital book that is auditable and reliable between two parties, and cannot be confiscated by a third party.

📜Talk about #smartcontract as a registered agreement that not even the two agents involved can alter.

🪙Talk about a#tokenas a digital unit of the graphic representation that you intend to offer.

💱Talk about #DeFi as the new sovereign and disruptive economy.

🌐Talk about#Web3as the definitive and democratized communication tool by and for the user.

If at any time you doubt, go back to the basics and remember why #Bitcoin appeared on October 31, 2008, but first ask yourself the "why" and the journey that still remains to be done😉.

⚡Reflections from the Ark: Europe needs a firm narrative⚡

The European Central Bank surprises once again with dissonances when it comes to assessing the validity of digital assets, as an investment and payment means.

At the beginning of December 2023, they affirmed their interest with the publication of a study prepared by several researchers from the organization, which recognized the validity of#Bitcoinas a means to preserve value and carry out transactions, especially in emerging economies and in development.

Just a few weeks later, a critical analysis was published by Ulrich Bindseil, CEO of Market Infrastructure and Payments, and Jürgen Schaaf, advisor in this division. In their commentary, officials lash out at cryptoassets, stating that "the fair value of#Bitcoinremains zero."

According to them, the price level of#Bitcoin"is not an indicator of its sustainability" and, on the contrary, they consider that what market capitalization serves is to quantify "the global social damage that will occur when the castle of Bitcoin collapses." cards".

They wonder "why this dead cat is bouncing so high" and believe that, in their view, the market embarking on a new Bitcoin up-and-down cycle is a "dire prospect," leading to less knowledgeable retailers to enter through #FOMO and expose yourself to losses that only benefit the most experts.

Taking into account the disservice that Europe has been receiving in recent decades from its Transatlantic partner, in a relationship in which one only gives orders and the other obeys, we must consider which decisions can make your societies prosper or mortgage. .

Just remember that Ulrich Bindseil is "related" to #Ripple and #BIS. Anyway, we'll have to use the image archive😉

⚡Reflections from the Ark: How does Fiat flow to crypto?⚡

🔸The crypto money flow cycle is essential to understand the movements of the market itself. It usually begins with an adoption by Fiat investors at #Bitcoin as an entry portal to the ecosystem.

🔸If the price increases, it usually enters consolidation phases, leading investors to turn to other assets such as Ethereum. The cycle progresses towards#altcoinswith medium or low capital, in search of high returns comparable to high risks.

🔸The cycle that occurred in 2020 explains this behavior perfectly, after "the incident", the low prices of "the King asset" promoted the entry of new investors, driving the subsequent #bullmarket that, when it "stabilized" attention was directed to Ethereum and #altcoins.

🔸This progression can serve to understand and know how to interpret market cycles, and position oneself for subsequent movements to balance the investment-risk balance.

🔸However, cycles may follow a pattern but the ecosystem is constantly changing, sometimes oblivious to geopolitical and regulatory situations, sometimes closely related to both factors.

🔸Volatility is a key factor to add to the equation, since with a low market capitalization it is more manipulable in prices, due to the "big players". If we add insufficient experience or learning from investors, we have formulas to understand that if these two scenarios change, the market can become increasingly solid.
