China hit the U.S. with an 84% tariff on a range of goods, and the U.S. retaliated with its own. Classic trade war vibes. But here’s the kicker — crypto markets *immediately* felt it. BTC dipped, ETH got slapped, even XRP took a nosedive.
Then Trump hits pause on the tariffs for 90 days, and boom — Bitcoin jumps back to \~$83K like nothing happened. It's wild how much macro stuff is affecting the crypto scene right now.
Some thoughts I’ve been chewing on:
* **Mining could get wrecked in the U.S.** Most mining gear comes from China (Bitmain, Canaan, etc). If tariffs go through, it’s gonna get way more expensive to mine here. Could push more operations overseas or crush smaller miners altogether.
* **BTC is acting more like a tech stock than digital gold.** Every time Wall Street catches a cold, Bitcoin sneezes. Where’s that “hedge against the system” energy?
* **Haven vibes incoming?** On the flip side, if this trade war keeps escalating and fiat currencies start feeling the heat, could we see people flock to BTC as a digital haven again?
* **Stablecoin squeeze?** With rising tensions, is there a world where the U.S. or China starts cracking down harder on USD-backed stablecoins?
Anyway, this feels like one of those "we’ll look back on this in hindsight" moments. Curious what the rest of y’all think — is crypto still too tied to global markets? Or is this all just noise before the next leg up? | r/cryptomarkets | post | r/CryptoMarkets | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlaUR5YTVRejdCdUtiS1R5VWlURmhqWVg2d3pNUThxdXpqMGVsSmlkYU45U2dhM3g5Y1JoQVp3NlNnNlRkYVQ4OVFxcEgzbkFRbTRqbHhmS3lLWnhFQmtpa1cyOTN4YXVST24tSlF2RFRackk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlZ3d6YlhTTmxDTmpQdVhzTk1zbWZFOTM4TGxiSXNjd3NjZlNnaVg2ZjB5SUFFSF9PT0FabTRPcmc3MnRIX2N3WWs4dDNpNkV4M2g4SnRkTU56eTctYWhFTkU1MkVBeXVmWkduYmJ5UGFxWnhDam5HS19VblZxaWJMOHlaQmI4XzBnLTAyM2JVdWdteDZSSUpSYzUtUTg0YXFHOU9fRDdsZ2tDUkhRNnhwWDd5U3dmbWJZdFUzVVZib3BsV1NwZHNORGwyUURWeEdlNVl5cEsySEs1UjljUT09 |
Most people know they don't fully understand the financial system (I am understating the severity of this problem), and thus they don't trust themselves to understand the solution offered by Bitcoin (a peer to peer electronic cash system) even though the advantages of such money (if it were to gain acceptance) are immense.
Not trusting themselves to understand it, they ignore it, believe what existing financial authorities tell them about it (often a rather biased story since 2009) and rather play the lottery (stonks, ponzi "coins" ... incl. BTC these days).
It's a shame. It really seems people need a shock (or a hugely visible, like nation level, example of how peer to peer cash adoption can succeed).
I don't think any form of speculation is the "killer app" for bringing Bitcoin awareness to the masses.
It's mildly encouraging that a lot of people now recognize the threat of inflation and the difficulty of saving for old age, and some of them may re-examine what is wrong with our financial systems and whether it's a problem inherent in the facile money printing of fiat (debt money). | r/btc | post | r/btc | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlU01CaUt0am5sVUNlMl9uZld0cTBoZTBNelF4LVVFdFRydlJNdjhUTDZzUVZWRkd4ZjRlTmJqUmpTRVpReVJpSTBzMTRSLWN2SkN6blJ2b1ZUVnFKRFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVldnVhcWNOMThBZ2lsRjRETVk0ZEJuc1poUXVZZC1NUGk4YnRxYlV5Zm81WGluOUJpc0JGZTVXMUVKTTI3OFZaZ3V6c2hkeWRpdDNlWGRCbE15eXFIcFNjaGp6a0lOaGo0REJzSUczdjZIc19zcWg3em1nT29FVi1lT21NT0dWV05tYzBZLUFFSEZORWQwMzduYkwwQ1JSa0J4cnQ1WEN4UGpXSHdwYm02ZFZUa19EenA2VTAzc1hDdEJRM1I2YUFH |

What episode of South Park is this? This doesn't exactly scream healthy bussiness landscape. My guess is that we got a nice relief yesterday, but the disturbance from tariffs will still be felt for quite some time. It's going to be a long time before we see ATH.

The technology of blockchain is honestly insane.
Permissionless, decentralized, programmable money. This stuff could/should be reshaping entire industries.
But what are we doing with it??
We’re throwing money into coins like $POOP, $RUGME, and $FEET4U on pump.fun. Tokens live and die in a maximum of 12 hours. No roadmap, no utility. Not saying it’s not entertaining. The adrenaline is real.
But like... is this it??
Are we early to something bigger, or are we just wasting one of the most promising technologies? Curious what others think. Is there *any* path forward here that isn’t just dopamine farming? Whats the future of SOL? Like... wtf? Am I just missing promising projects?? | r/solana | post | r/solana | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlUUlDNjJ2cTczUUZTMHdHRkRvUVN4UUw3dU9IZzM4MVFWUzFVRUtBMlpxN2Zsem12cnJDT2RVMGFVTTBuZ3lMX1NhR2ZKVVhKYUR2WnlCLUVhSkZra3loZHJ5d2ZnczFoeUNFSzdVb2RUUjA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlaVQ5MDRUYzBfb2RQVFV2RWpQbzVSUU9KREs2VVpvYzdiV082RmRQaDlyUXY4UXlsZUZFWnh2enBBb21nSm80OTdtakFSUHpDS3pmT0NOTWt3VzZLWFkyY2xsb2hJSENZQlp1LUFhSmxENGdyZlVLRVMzMy1jbmtLNFQ1V0tROXY2cEZWMFFHUVFpbDJVMkJYMTVnSXZWQVFyQ1dzMlRrME41Z0NfaDJYRDZpYjJWXzdOWDNic2swc0VQcjBaejZQ |

I have seen this kind of topic a hundred times. I never though I would be the author of one of them though.
I have been in crypto since 2017. I read everything I could on it before making my first purchase. I bought a ledger a long time ago as it was one of the most secure item to hold my cryptos. All my crypto-savings were on it.
A couple days ago I saw that my PayPal account has been hacked and someone stole 1000$ by making a purchase with my credit card. I called my bank, cancelled it and got refunded.
This morning I went on the ledger app to check my btc and saw 3$ instead of the 30k (0.3BTC) I had. And then everything clicked. Someone did not hacked my PayPal but my iCloud. And somehow found my encrypted file with some seeds on it.
It is my entire fault and I am the only responsible for what happened to me.
I guess this message is to warn everyone. Sometimes your crypto is secured, but something else isn’t and they hack from there.
To the person who stole my money, have fun with it, I personally hope that you will choke on it and die slowly.
Edit: guys I know I was dumb. Don’t rub it in.
To answer the most common comment, yes I know that you don’t write your seed phrase online. But when I bought my ledger in 2018 I didn’t know. And I did not even remember I did that. Like I said: it’s on me. | r/bitcoin | post | r/Bitcoin | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlMmdwSWNPY3ctNVVsaDFYR0VFbmJ4bHVnMEtILVJURXhmWUJaUlozZXdfWWZPRG43ZVVZbUljNEdiWGxNRXRMMG1xTXduVncwSFRNYzN6ZXppc0YwaWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlTzZtVFlUM0FORG91cURKdHd5aUJmc0Y4SkJhSXJWMy1uWXFCOHVYSk81WnpTOU1sT3RCYS1qemsySF9Yc1VvSWpJaVoxM2hQVDZta25ZNWtYTGZYRWhsOFFRSzNxTWRCWlZYck45amo0amhpbXEzNW5rYXU5dGdBbFdJSE04Um54LWF3YWdaR0M4QXV6MXBQTVpiQVMySjI4TlN6bVVVUU5TVjJtTnlWaHJBSDNncm5lUzJZYWtPZ0RNRFZWakxh |

BERLIN (Reuters) - The European Union and China have begun negotiations on the abolition of EU tariffs on imports of Chinese electric cars, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Thursday.
EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic met China commerce minister Wang Wentao during a visit to Beijing at the end of March and both sides agreed to resolve a dispute over EU tariffs through negotiations, Handelsblatt reported.
The European Union imposed tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) late last year, saying they were needed to counter cheap loans, land and raw materials and other subsidies and the goal was a level playing field, not shutting Chinese car makers out.
The European Commission has said it is willing to continue negotiating an alternative to tariffs with China. | r/wallstreetbets | post | r/wallstreetbets | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlQTJZZk13b0puMVpkWkk4Wjk0bTZxdzE1TmZMNU1hMEpJWUZ4SHNOOVZPejd0X1ozdGc2N3JBWkxYcklORUV0ZzczUmVEVGpka2ZPZlN4N2NsNnliOVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlQXJWbTlCUkJ6T0RQemZLSEdqd295Z0dJZl9jenI2NHdLaDBFa3luYnlrcVpxU3l3NGhNUG12VWs5ekRjbF84ZjBUTEVkWWRTc0c4Y25LbzU0YUpoV01XWFVYMWdzSFhNOXg0YlBDUVJYWElVZmhidGk4Q1dtOWFiR1NaOXpOYXoyT2UzTGIxNzZ3a2ltaW5UUVVoaVV4YTJyZ05fSktRZC1mVlBocnJxOTBDZDlJSlI1S2laaHBQTUo1bm5TZUhtVHN2MVh0VG9Yc2cyUzdoaFBpN0ItQT09 |

The problem is we'll never get a real decentralized internet because the majority of people would rather pay for bandwidth and electricity with their data than actual money.
That's also the reason why people will use S3 over File. It's not really about people paying with their data over money, it's about how easy it is was made to use, and that's the easier option right now.
Decentralized is more expensive and currently annoying AF for folks to interact with.
File is going to be great for businesses and nice for personal developers to experiment with for their projects though.
I'm pretty bullish on File for a few reasons. I'm a developer and know how expensive object storage can get in theory. File has good utility to save some dough if you're savvy enough. But more importantly though, I'm bullish because I don't think "The Internet Archive" and other piracy adjacent sites are going anywhere.
I think piracy has a history of winning, and it's only a matter of time before someone builds a decentralized Netflix that's clean and works properly and no one knows who to sue because no one will know where the servers are lmao. With inflation and growing economic concerns people need to cut spending every which way, and decentralized piracy options will likely grow in popularity. | r/filecoin | comment | r/filecoin | 2025-04-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlYXhUckR5ZVloZExmRnNiekFsWDFTYUctSkVYeEM4eVlaN2dpS0RJZzl5aGpWZ05OYXktalRSWmlWZ0s4ZEVwWXlUUUY3dkViTGFtM0dCcU5iLUlhUFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlbVVmS2JyNk1kNHdNQWNxeHpJYW9EQUtzT2I0aV9yZDZnN1B2TkFUWVJtMlJ3TTRVVHc2LUpyWDNlMkZlVnRabi0zeXRMYzU0QXlXTV94eEJyazFWaThiN2QzRjFVZHNFUjh5emhXSjNwZUJ3Z2ZvVEZFemZxNG5oc05aR2JCUVJobF9OdVRRdkFOaUNGOHZIVW9CSXZqY2trT0JIQ2ZBWnlKajVDcld6Q1RGbGFySlloT3ZsVS1BcHl5RmhHR3p4dXpIMjAwUDR1ZmVXSXNERnRRYzZOdz09 |

The extreme volatility is actually what I like about Filecoin. It seems like you see jumps of like 70 cents CAD every week on an asset that's only a few bucks, it's crazy.

First off, I would like to preface this with saying my condolences to those who have incurred any losses lately. It has been a very volatile week, and I know many friends and family who have suffered heavy losses in their portfolio and are stressed/anxious for the future to come. With that, I would like to share my experience betting against the American economy by holding one of the most volatile stock for 6 months, UVIX.
As many of you may know, VIX is an index that grows rapidly when the market reverses from a peak. I personally witnessed this during Covid (when TVIX rose almost 2000%) and the recent "Yen Carry Trade" of August 5th (when UVIX rose 400%). I've always aspired to time the market successfully with UVIX.
Last year, I felt that the economy was overextended for many reasons. You guys may not agree that these are factors to what led us here, but these are why I ended up taking the biggest risk of my life with such high confidence that the market would crash short-term.
\- US National Debt: We've reached a staggering $36 trillion debt, a large increase of 8 trillion post-covid. To me, this was a huge red flag indicating a looming recession, especially since the market was still pumping.
\- AI Bubble: I think AI is heavily over-hyped, and the rise of NVDA/Tech stocks were not really warranted. I saw this as a bubble bound to pop, much like the dot-com and housing bubble of 2008.
\- Terrible job market: I think we've been experiencing a bad labor market across all sectors for a while now. Employers look to make lay-offs/cost cutting in order to artificially inflate profit margins to boost stock prices, which is not sustainable. I do not believe the numbers released by the Feds at all, they seem suspiciously low compared to real-world experiences of people struggling to find work. This article was one example:
[https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/us-added-818000-fewer-jobs-thought-adding-concerns-economy-rcna167555](https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/us-added-818000-fewer-jobs-thought-adding-concerns-economy-rcna167555)
\- Suicide rate is apparently one of the leading indicator of a struggling economy: In 2024, we reached one of the highest rate in the decade [https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-09-26/u-s-suicide-rate-climbs-back-to-highest-in-decades](https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-09-26/u-s-suicide-rate-climbs-back-to-highest-in-decades)
\- Trump winning the presidential election: I was aware of his tariff plans during his campaign, and I knew that if he actually did implement these, it would shock the market. It was only a question of if he would actually deliver on his campaign promise or not, which he did.
With all these reasonings in mind, I had a 90% confidence that the market would crash soon, so I YOLO'd my whole portfolio into UVIX after election.
https://preview.redd.it/ovma6m9vj3ue1.png?width=1093&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd719e0b6d0ff7892d07461aa3eae2312d52caea
Holding this ticker was mentally tough, the market kept rallying from 580 to 620 post-election, and my position was decaying and I was holding a -200k loss for the vast majority of the time. Many people discouraged my position, and some think I should cut my losses. I even isolated myself for a while because I was so sure of my bet. There were two moments when I could have sold to break even: Federal reserve announcing no future interest rate cuts and Trump's initial Canada/Mexico tariffs. But UVIX didn't rise as much as I anticipated, so I kept holding.
https://preview.redd.it/e5e6xfsxj3ue1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f45917088fa769ca5123420f1fec427851fbb2f
Fast forward to last week, Trump announced a severe blanket tariff, which crashed the market as we know it. This was finally the moment I've been waiting for as UVIX went from $20 to $100 in the span of 4 days. I kept my eyes on the news, set my alarm to 6 am to watch the market open. UVIX could rapidly drop/rise in matter of seconds, and I did not want to sell too early/late, so I was shedding 1k shares a day to be safe. 1k at 70, 1k at 90, 2k at 100 on Tuesday. At this point, I had 3k remaining, and I was hoping that UVIX would maybe rise to 140, but then Trump sent out the tweet that he's basically cancelling the tariffs, which shot the market back up, and plummeted UVIX to 40, luckily I was able to salvage and sell at 56 on the way down. It wasn't quite the finish I was hoping for, but overall, I did get to gain roughly 250k off of my 400k bet.
https://preview.redd.it/k4bzie1sk3ue1.png?width=1093&format=png&auto=webp&s=f788c3fce00964a3a5e9f9202b6db85d3f5bda4a
Now that I've been able to cash out on the big -20% SPY crash I've anticipated, I am completely out of UVIX for now. Even if the market continues to fall, I have full confidence that we'll eventually recover back to our previous 620 ATH, so I'll be DCAing into SPXL/TQQQ from this point on until we reach that price.
https://preview.redd.it/8j48yvnul3ue1.png?width=1093&format=png&auto=webp&s=b68d62402c4fdc3ec905d7c036fcd3cee5ff37f1
In the end, I would not encourage anyone else to do what I did. Even with my conviction and accurate market reading, I had to hold UVIX for 6 months, which ended up being one of the most stressful thing I could do. I've lost sleep, became disillusioned with the economy/government, and absorbed more bad news than I could handle. I've internally cheered for bearish news, despite knowing it could mean hardship for many people.
I was somewhat lucky that Trump did indeed enact his tariffs, otherwise I may have been stuck holding a decaying position until it went to zero or was delisted.
In the end, I'm just relieved that I could finally exit my large UVIX positions, and I will never all-in again the way I did. I hoped you all enjoyed my perspective/story and I wish the best of you luck in navigating this volatile market. | r/wallstreetbets | post | r/wallstreetbets | 2025-04-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlYV9KSFVpOWRZMVVNelNTRjFmeTVQTk1rVnlQaXk5Qnc2TzN5VnM4bV9heUtTYjVtNVFrQ0hQcC05cEFIMmRfRXRSY2RWRDJoNlpnbjRYRE9CMm5hbWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlY0lDOXV6UVJqYkxuaU0yYmRIcF80UGd1MzFSeWNock03YXBrbGNOSjVnQ2dndHBiVXd3RnBXa3N2VWxITEFiS3ZWbDVhNHlqaWU5bWU3WUdwdE5oZnBGTmd4THRlMkh6ZXZkbWp5cDd6THZKSHBGOF9ISFdEVHRhX0hraU1lb3RaLVU3VGUtLVZGTUxLbVZpVHVlLTBuRnNESWZWcS1HQjM4V29XdVNfaXdkRGhVeUhNd2JJZV9PUGRrTDA4aDhhZk0yZXFfN0ViMTd3NU8wNGNERnNxUT09 |
My predictions are based on long term targets and technicals. If we maintain price of where we are now then i will have two targets (giving estimates and not true targets)
1st target: above $250
2nd target: above $1000

I personally don't share specifics of my financial positions online, but the value of my FIL is in the low five figures. I'll probably continue to buy some more though.

The market feels dead, CT is full of doomers, and people are calling for lower prices. But every time sentiment gets this bad, it’s usually when smart money starts loading up. Not saying I’m going all in, but history shows that max fear = solid entries.

This is the weekly Monero market thread. This thread will be posted every Friday and is meant to help accelerate the adoption of Monero. Due to r/moneromarket having only a fraction of the subscribers of r/Monero, we have decided to create this thread to encourage more individuals to use Monero for product exchanges. Until the market matures, we recommend that the Monero community post their products both in this thread and on r/moneromarket (to ensure growth of that subreddit).
Selling items for Monero will boost your (and Monero's) reputation as a legitimate form of exchange of goods. This is necessary for the growth of Monero, our community, and privacy as a whole.
## Instructions
When you post your product or job listing here, please make sure to:
- Give a description of the item.
- Link to a photo of the item (if it's physical).
- Provide logistics information (such as, location and/or shipping availability).
- Optionally, provide an additional (private) form of communication outside of Reddit (e.g. Bitmessage, u/protonmail, u/tutanota, GPG key).
- Post the price in XMR terms.
Spamming will not be tolerated. Please make sure that listings are legitimate and do not break rule 2."

Most people still look at Layer 1s like it’s 2021: speed, fees, hype, token price. But that phase is done. This next wave is about infrastructure development. L1s that can actually run complex systems across chains without breaking. We’re entering an era where scalability isn’t enough. Interoperability, composability, and full-stack control will define which chains survive.
I’ve been looking at newer chains that aren’t just launching empty narratives but are building tools from the ground up, supporting multiple VMs, handling cross-chain logic natively, and making sure developers aren’t duct-taping modules together. Most of the well-known chains don’t even come close to that level of integration. They rely on partnerships, plugins, or third-party devs to stitch things together, and that’s fine for now. But when the next real adoption wave hits, the brittle stuff will break.
One chain I’ve been exploring lately is Supra. It’s not just another fast L1. It’s designed as a fully integrated L1, with Dev Tools and features like MultiVM, Native Oracles, Native VRF, Automation, and Cross-chain Communication, which helps to accelerate web3 development by streamlining processes and providing essential infrastructure, ultimately reducing time to launch dApps on there. It's still early, but very promising.
What actually matters now:
• Full integration from consensus to app layer
• Native cross-chain support
• Support for multiple virtual machines
• Automation
• Dev tools that reduce time-to-launch
It’s not just about TPS anymore. It’s about how well the chain can serve real devs over time. And supra feels like the kind of architecture that could quietly support the next generation of super dApps, without breaking a sweat. | r/cryptomarkets | post | r/CryptoMarkets | 2025-04-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlWjJTQmg1QkZsaWxYVHRQZFpDOVozZE5DYkdCV1M5ZDJPbXd1YnlYa0doNHFHR1dzM045cVlKajFwRHBqZVo1OHRKWkFTTFR3eVAxdWpGVXZXcFpwbnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlRUZ3OU9yY0dYb1ZYQWVaWTFpQ0dGVEtic0taZldqLXdITDV1c2dzS2tVenVXNEJGbHdjXzcyQjNEb2EtX3NKeVVXVjZVTERHV3NaNE5XVHZNT1IxbHI3RXFWUW9pcWE3RkQxVUs3RU5ybHNpSkwxVDI5eXRVV0tWbl8wby1MLWdkRWUybjdHNHduZ1NJYjR3enhoampaWVB2b2c3RDY5UUJ1Qjg5a2x1UHdpRHJjQjUtT3czc0VKZlpwemU0T2xZYkItZlhadHE1UVpsckROZ2VxbzBqUT09 |
I'm happy to announce that a new Haveno mobile app is in development. I'm developing this myself and building it from scratch in .NET MAUI Blazor. It's currently a standalone application so no remote node is needed. There are some limitations with this, so the plan is to add an option for a remote node.
Currently it only works on Android but I am open to bringing it to iOS and maybe even desktop if that's something people want.
This is still a work in progress and I don't know exactly when it will be ready but I will keep working on it as much as I can:)

# Welcome to the /r/Bitcoin Newcomers FAQ
You've probably been hearing a lot about Bitcoin recently and are wondering what's the big deal? Most of your questions should be answered by the resources below but if you have additional questions feel free to ask them in the comments.
It all started with the release of **[Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper](https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)** however that will probably go over the head of most readers so we recommend the following articles/books/videos as a good starting point for understanding how Bitcoin works and a little about its long term potential:

You can also see the number of times Bitcoin was [declared dead by the media](https://99bitcoins.com/obituary-stats) (LOL!)
## Key properties of Bitcoin
* **Limited Supply** - There will only ever be a [maximum of 21,000,000 bitcoins created](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/10h04a6/this_is_how_we_know_theres_only_21_million_bitcoin/) and they are issued in a predictable fashion per the [inflation schedule](https://bashco.github.io/Bitcoin_Monetary_Inflation/). Once they are all issued Bitcoin will be truly deflationary. The [halving countdown](http://bitcoinblockhalf.com/) tells you approximately how much time until the next block reward halving.
* **Open source** - Bitcoin code is fully auditable. You can read and contribute to the [source code](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) yourself.
* **Accountable** - The public ledger is transparent, all transactions are [seen by everyone](https://blockstream.info/).
* **Decentralized** - Bitcoin is globally distributed across thousands of nodes with no single point of failure and as such can't be shut down similar to how [Bittorrent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) works. You can even [run a node on a Raspberry Pi](https://getumbrel.com/).
* **Censorship resistant** - No one can prevent you from interacting with the Bitcoin network and no one can censor, alter or block transactions that they disagree with, see [Operation Chokepoint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_Point).
* **Push system** - There are [no chargebacks](https://gendal.me/2013/10/21/lessons-from-bitcoin-push-versus-pull/) in Bitcoin because only the person who owns the address where the bitcoin resides has the authority to move them.
* **Borderless** - No country can stop it from going in/out, even in areas currently unserved by traditional banking as the ledger is [globally distributed](https://bitnodes.io/nodes/live-map/).
* **Trustless** - Bitcoin solved the [Byzantine's Generals Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault_tolerance) which means nobody needs to trust anybody for it to work.
* **Pseudonymous** - No need to [expose personal information](https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/anonymity/) when purchasing with cash or transacting.
* **Secure** - Blocks and transactions are cryptographically secured (using hashes and signatures) and can’t be [brute forced](http://i.imgur.com/fYFBsqp.jpg) or confiscated with proper key management such as hardware wallets.
* **Programmable** - Individual units of bitcoin can be [programmed to transfer](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script) based on certain criteria being met
* **Divisible** - Each bitcoin can be [divided down to 8 decimals](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit\)), which means you don't have to worry about buying an entire bitcoin.
* **Nearly instant** - From a few seconds on the Lightning Network to a [few minutes](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/median-confirmation-time) on-chain depending on need for confirmations. Transactions are irreversible by normal users after one confirmation and irreversible by anyone (including miners) after 6 confirmations.
* **Peer-to-peer** - No intermediaries taking a cut, no need for [trusted third parties](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/trusted-third-parties/).
* **Designed Money** - Bitcoin was created to fit all the [fundamental properties of money](https://imgur.com/a/5w3l2A6) better than gold or fiat.
* **Portable** - Bitcoin are digital so they are easier to move than cash or gold. They can be transported by simply carrying a seed (a string of 12 to 24 words) on a device or by [memorizing it for wallet recovery](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet) (while cool, memorizing is generally not recommended due to potential for forgetting the seed and the potential for insecure key generation by inexperienced users. Hardware wallets are the preferred method for most users for their ease of use and additional security).
* **Low fee scaling** - Most wallets calculate on chain fees automatically but you can view [fee estimates](https://river.com/learn/how-bitcoin-fees-work/) and [mempool activity](https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2w) if you want to set your fee manually. On chain fees may rise occasionally due to network demand, however instant micropayments that do not require confirmations are happening via the [Lightning Network](https://lightning.network/), an open source second layer payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables Bitcoin users to instantly send and receive bitcoin with fees so low that they are negligible.
* **Scalable** - While the protocol is still being optimized for [increased transaction capacity](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability), blockchains do not scale very well, so most transaction volume is expected to occur on Layer 2 networks built on top of Bitcoin.
## Where can I buy bitcoin?
[Bitcoin.org](https://bitcoin.org/en/buy) and [BuyBitcoinWorldwide.com](https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/) are helpful sites for beginners. You can buy or sell any amount of bitcoin (even just a few dollars worth) and there are several easy methods to purchase bitcoin with cash, credit card or bank transfer. Some of the more popular places to buy bitcoin are listed below.
* [Strike](https://strike.me/)
* [Cash App](https://cash.app/)
* [Swan](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/)
* [River Financial](https://river.com/)
* [Bull Bitcoin](https://www.bullbitcoin.com/)
* [Bitcoin Well](https://bitcoinwell.com/)
* [Relai](https://relai.app/)
* [LibertyX](https://libertyx.com/)
* [CoinCorner](https://www.coincorner.com/)
* [Bisq](https://bisq.network/) (decentralized & P2P)
* [HodlHodl](https://hodlhodl.com/?filters%5Bcurrency_code%5D=USD) (P2P)
* [List of peer-to-peer exchanges](https://github.com/cointastical/P2P-Trading-Exchanges/)
* [Debifi](https://debifi.com/) (non-custodial lending)
You can also purchase in cash with [local ATMs](http://coinatmradar.com/). If you would like your paycheck automatically converted to bitcoin try [Bitwage](https://www.bitwage.com/).
**Note:** Bitcoin are valued at whatever [market price](https://aggr.trade/1m1h) people are willing to pay for them in balancing act of supply vs demand. Unlike traditional markets, bitcoin markets operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
## Securing your bitcoin
With Bitcoin you can **"Be your own bank"** and personally secure your bitcoin **OR** you can use third party companies aka **"Bitcoin banks"** which will hold your bitcoin for you.
* If you prefer to **"Be your own bank"** and have direct control over your coins without having to use a trusted third party, then you will need to create your own wallet and keep it secure. If you want easy and secure storage without having to learn best computer security practices, then a hardware wallet such as a [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/), [Trezor](https://www.trezor.io/), [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/), or [Blockstream Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade/) is recommended. You can even build your own open source hardware wallets called a [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/) or [Krux](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/).
* If you cannot afford a hardware wallet there are many [software wallet](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet) options to choose from depending on your use case. Mobile wallets like [BlueWallet](https://bluewallet.io/) are generally more secure than desktop wallets. Beware of fake mobile wallets and check reviews from reputable Bitcoin websites. Avoid paper wallets or brain wallets.
* If you prefer to work with third party **"Bitcoin banks"** to set up a collaborative custody arrangement, try [Unchained Capital](https://unchained-capital.com/) but be aware that any third party you use exposes you to third party risk. There is a saying in the community, **"Not your keys, not your coins"**.
**Note: For increased security, use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) everywhere it is offered, including email!**
2FA requires a second confirmation code or a physical security key to access your account making it much harder for thieves to gain access. Google Authenticator and Authy are the two most popular 2FA services, download links are below. Make sure you create backups of your 2FA codes.
**Avoid using your cell number for 2FA.** Hackers have been using a technique called "SIM swapping" to impersonate users and steal bitcoin off exchanges.
Google Auth | Authy | OTP Auth
--------------|--------|------------
[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) | [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy&hl=en) | N/A
[iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8) | [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/authy/id494168017) | [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/otp-auth/id659877384) |
Physical security keys (FIDO U2F) offer stronger security than Google Auth / Authy and other TOTP-based apps, because the secret code never leaves the device and it uses bi-directional authentication so it prevents phishing. If you lose the device though, you could lose access to your account, so always use 2 or more security keys with a given account so you have backups. See [Yubikey](https://yubikey.com/) or [Titan](https://cloud.google.com/titan-security-key) to purchase security keys.
## Running Bitcoin
You can run [Bitcoin node](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/18736/what-is-a-bitcoin-node) software by downloading and installing [Bitcoin Core](https://bitcoincore.org) or other node software you have vetted.
It is a best practice to verify these Bitcoin node programs you download by [checking their hashes and signatures](https://youtu.be/U0I-ImS_r8o?si=qa_gRyGPuRZq5acM).
Don't Trust, Verify.
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
* https://bitcoincore.org
* https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/
A verified Bitcoin node running on your own hardware is your sovereign gateway to the Bitcoin network. They can be used alongside open source software [wallets](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet) to send and receive Bitcoin securely. By running your own Bitcoin node, you enforce the Bitcoin ruleset, can verify transactions without trusted 3rd party middlemen, improve your Bitcoin privacy, obtain independence with local access to blockchain data, and help bolster the robustness of the Bitcoin network. By running a Bitcoin node, you are verifying that Bitcoin is Bitcoin for yourself. For more details on running a Bitcoin node see [this article](https://unchained.com/blog/why-run-bitcoin-node/).
For wallets used alongside your Bitcoin node: If your Bitcoin wallet software is fully [open source](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/80111/is-bitcoin-completely-open-source/80115#80115) and Bitcoin-only, then it is probably a decent wallet. Some popular examples include [sparrow wallet](https://sparrowwallet.com/) and [electrum wallet](https://electrum.org/), both of which you can connect to your own locally run Bitcoin node, and use with most Bitcoin Hardware Wallets.
## Watch out for scams
As mentioned above, Bitcoin is decentralized, which by definition means there is no official website or Twitter handle or spokesperson or CEO. However, all money attracts thieves. This combination unfortunately results in scammers running official sounding names or pretending to be an authority on YouTube or social media. Many scammers throughout the years have claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin. Websites like bitcoin(dot)com and the r / btc subreddit are active scams. Almost all altcoins are marketed heavily with big promises but are really just designed to separate you from your bitcoin. So be careful: any resource, including all linked in this document, may in the future turn evil. As they say in our community, **"Don't trust, verify"**.
* Avoid using ad-based search engines like Google or Yahoo: ads are shown based on how much the advertiser bids, and scammers can easily outbid legitimate providers for ad space, since immoral ways of earning money are far more lucrative than moral ways. Use [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/) instead, which has no ads, and never tracks you as well.
* Ignore private messages offering services.
* **Never enter your seed words in a website of any kind.** Hardware wallets will recover by displaying possible seed words on their own interface, never on a website.
* **Always check addresses on your hardware wallet before sending or receiving.** Some malware has been known to replace addresses in your web browser or that you copy-and-paste.
* Avoid clicking on links like that look like links, such as [https://www.google.com/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ybW48rKBME), without first hovering over it and actually checking where they go to. Just because a link is labelled with an HTTPS address does not mean it actually sends you to that address. It is trivial for someone to comment a link on Reddit that looks like it will send you to one website when it actually sends you to another, and you might not notice the difference until a scammer has gotten all your money, or you have downloaded and installed software that steals your money.

## Can I mine bitcoin?
Mining bitcoin can be a fun learning experience, but be aware that you will most likely operate at a loss. Newcomers are often advised to stay away from mining unless they are only interested in it as a hobby similar to [folding at home](https://foldingathome.org/?lng=en). If you want to learn more about mining you can read the [mining FAQ](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Faq#Mining). Still have mining questions? The crew at /r/BitcoinMining would be happy to help you out.
If you want to contribute to the Bitcoin network by hosting the blockchain and propagating transactions there are many [great resources](https://raspibolt.org/) you can use to [run a full node](https://river.com/learn/how-to-run-a-bitcoin-node/). You can view the global distribution of reachable Bitcoin nodes on [this webpage.](https://bitnodes.io/nodes/live-map/)

## Bitcoin Units
One bitcoin is worth quite a lot (thousands of £/$/€), so people often deal in smaller units. The most common subunits are listed below:
Unit | Symbol | Value | Info
---|:---:|---|---
bitcoin | BTC | 1 bitcoin | one bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis
millibitcoin | mBTC | 1,000 per bitcoin | used as default unit in Electrum wallet
bit | μBTC | 1,000,000 per bitcoin | colloquial "slang" term for microbitcoin
satoshi | sat | 100,000,000 per bitcoin | smallest unit in bitcoin, named after the inventor
For example, assuming an arbitrary exchange rate of $10,000 for one bitcoin, a $10 meal would equal:
* 0.001 BTC
* 1 mBTC
* 1,000 bits
* 100,000 sats

I've posted my progress before, and a lot of people seemed to like it, so here's my latest update. Since I haven't seen anything else like this on the market, I was wondering what your thoughts are. In this update, I've created a flexible framework that allows me to build and try out my own strategies in python. I can manage them within this GUI or CLI environment. Battletesting some strategies now with a high-end rpc node and it's going well. It's compatible with Raydium, Pumpfun, and the new Pumpfun AMMs.
This was a lot of work, so I will not be just freely handing this out to everybody, but was thinking about releasing a free open-source version of this that will allow people to paper-trade Pumpfun tokens if that's of any interest to anyone. | r/solana | post | r/solana | 2025-04-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlZ2Rlc0UwcmdIQWpuaXhLSEE0N0RUMHN1bFVmVnpCRjFPRFcyVnRXYVA3SG5XRnNkWHZxMEIyU05jSGVjZnN4dk9abXZiMkxWTk80SDZCWU1XYThkNlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlZlZmSTB2Y3NGMnJHRnRkWGxONWFEMDZvSjV6SE01bTRYaHp1eXZ4aEVpa1gzalhlaU5pLVN5M0VWd1BFZWc0Rk4zRGQxR0FsOTdHRE1yYW5RQ2N6WkxCZDFwcnV0TXJpcFJmanVtWnprNi1xYV9UUnQ1REZmNDUyaUFIc0lqd3AzZEhUNGp0bF9wX0dmTi1QMzM3c1E0WGRiQTRVY3JsV2FYOGFwaXVQSUp1U3gwbnRKM1BCMG9hS1RNd2dmVS1R |

I'll tell you how inflation and bailouts will eventually happen even on a bitcoin standard.
It'll start with tx fees gng through the roof as banks, govts and big businesses start settling onchain.
All normies will have to deposit their btc in the banks, as all small utxo (ie. 99% of population's stash) will become dust utxo, and self custody on L1 will become a luxury only top 0.0001% could afford.
All normies now transact on L2's where banks provide their IoU's. Initially banks will happily provide proof of reserves to lure you in and make you trust them, but eventually they'll stop doing so, as they start inflating the IoU's.
At one point, the IoU's floating around will be too much and ppl will start questioning the banks, but even then what could one do, since you can't self custody on L1 due to high tx fees.
Even if ppl start withdrawing from banks somehow, the banks will stop withdrawals pretty quickly and central banks / govts instead of taking action on the banks for inflating the IoU's, will simply make fractional reserve legal for BTC too.
So now for each 1 BTC, banks would be allowed to issue 10 BTC IoU's on L2, that too legally (which they would already be doing for a long time, and even after getting caught it will just become a legal practice instead)
Welcome back to Gold 2.0 system, where Fiat was the L2 for gold, and we all know how. that turned out.
But somehow ppl continue to believe there'll be no bailouts, censorship, draconian level surveillance and taxation on L2.
Only real solution is some p2p cash with low fee L1 tx's with relatively quick tx confirmations.
BCH works great as a p2p ecash system on L1, but its limited supply and trending to zero block subsidy is a major risk, as it puts a time limit on the adoption picking up.
If the adoption / tx volume doesn't pick before the block subsidy runs out, BCH will be dead too.
I think some pre-determined linear inflation is a good thing in the long term, as it replaces lost coins and more importantly prevents hoarding mentality.
It also doesn't put a hard time limit on the adoption, which will clearly take a long time, given how brainwashed general public is about BTC. | r/btc | post | r/btc | 2025-04-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlOUVLZ3pGdjhQakZHQnBKTnhvaHF5MDE4NFduWVIwMHA4Tkl6ZVo3enJ0SXBfYThBbGZ5RHRyeVhlZlp6THpJQTBhQ0RwX1NzLTVldHc0aDk1QzRTaXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlSVNzZGlNWU1oME82eVlGM0xnTFNKcURhTW5UREFPclRnRGRPcUFwTkpuNHV6R09ZZ1p4TzV3eV9YeW5wSTY4QjFJNjhRNnYtdGZicG5RVGRKR01iV1RiQ0Zqa1RJcG41VWFGM3VPZllQYzlENUNMaF9PZnlKSzB5cGxZZ2tobjItM0kyeHp0NUl4NDVYQXgzZjNVMDBFNS15VVdVVHllcG1IbWlVUVRfam0xWlFTWFBVOFhOeGc5X2VGdEVSbUx1OG1WR1dRemk0Z0pRQUJNLXRmVUNXdz09 |

I wanted to have a discussion on the following topic:
"Is bitcoin still decentralized" - that is the title of the thread by u/Far_Significance1669
My questions back were the following :
1. Mining is controlled by a few centralized companies with specific hardware no "normal" people have access to..
2. Ability to view transactions can be a "5 dollar wrench" problem.. And ability to track and profit from that.
3. Buying to hedge against FIAT can be legit, but has moved away from p2p electronic cash..
What are your thoughts on 1,2 and 3 [u/Far\_Significance1669](https://www.reddit.com/user/Far_Significance1669/) ? and what about Monero OP?
The response from the admins, I genuinely can't believe...

Wasn't trying to shill. Just want to work it out and have a discussion - and being banned for posing some questions seems crazy.

It honestly blows my mind. Bitcoin is still, hands down, the safest long-term investment in the entire crypto space. It’s the most decentralized, most secure, and most adopted, and yet every single day I see people complaining about the dip like it’s the end of the world.
You should be *happy* when BTC dips. It’s like Black Friday for the only digital asset with a fixed supply and proven resilience. You *know* it’ll bounce back eventually, it always does. We’ve seen this cycle repeat itself for years. Zoom out, look at the bigger picture.
Why are people still acting like this is some random altcoin with zero fundamentals? | r/btc | post | r/btc | 2025-04-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlbF9BWHg1UWY2MGpNNzNjMW1DUC1NZkxIRExtOFFQMHR3N0NraFppWUtjX1JhM04zb2hZZm5NRVZacEl0alYyN1lLTXlCdUxWRVJfV01obkdmZEdtRkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlLVJ6RGloeGg2anZTSTMxYzZnQ0ZXdGM3TEZ4VE1kWlVNTXg3RXRPOGRadnR0Y0s4Wm0xLTZNd2ljb21ETjJ0OVRPWHVkU2VkeWZjdC1jYVJHRHpySUhEbjZPQ2hkSlVfVTdQc3NUYjM3WkxEbllQTjdoNGVFOWUwby05RktIdEswWkVFc29sVlpuckt3NFl6M2t0dkhISEhxR04wWUdObTF1V09ZNTNtSUk4PQ== |

I noticed that my portfolio balance for a specific crypto shows it’s worth $50 more than what I actually get when I try to sell it. Basically, the moment I go to sell, the price is $50 lower than what it’s “supposed” to be.
Is this just due to spreads, fees, or the exchange itself? What platforms are you all using where this isn’t as bad?

Trump has shown that he will back down whenever there is actually a cost to him. First the 90-day pause when Bond market starts lapsing and now this computer and smartphone exemption. How do you think other countries will react to this? My guess is that they will see that he is not serious but just bluffing to try and scare them into offering concessions, so they are going to be more emboldened than if he hadn't done this pause and now the exemption. China's not going to make any sort of deal now, and I think the rest of the world are going to push much more for what they want too which means the trade deals that Trump wants where he gets everything he wants from other countries and they essentially just give into him are looking less likely.

Bitcoin Is Moss
Body:
Bitcoin isn’t a revolution in the traditional sense. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand. It doesn’t storm the gates.
It spreads.
Like moss.
It moves quietly. It doesn’t need headlines or permission. It simply finds surfaces—old stone, decaying wood, forgotten cracks in foundations—and begins to grow. Slowly. Persistently. Irreversibly.
Fiat systems are the stone.
They appear solid: institutions, currencies, central banks. But over time, they weather. They crack. Their weight becomes their weakness. And once those cracks appear, Bitcoin enters.
It doesn’t attack the structure. It covers it. It renders it obsolete not by confrontation, but by quiet redundancy. It’s not about destruction. It’s about persistence.
You can’t uproot moss—it has no central stalk.
You can’t kill it by cutting—it grows from fragments.
You can’t burn it away—it thrives in the shade and returns with the rain.
Bitcoin is the same.
There’s no CEO to arrest.
No headquarters to raid.
No switch to flip.
It’s a distributed organism. A living network of memory and value.
Every attempt to contain it only spreads its awareness.
And like moss, it thrives in neglected places—where trust has eroded, where inflation eats value, where systems are collapsing under their own weight.
The more centralized control tries to reassert itself, the more obvious the need for something else becomes.
Bitcoin doesn’t replace fiat by force. It makes it irrelevant.
Not through revolution, but through saturation.
You don’t notice moss at first.
Then one day, the statue is covered.
The wall is green.
The monument to the old world is now a part of the forest floor.
That’s Bitcoin.
Not a war.
A reclamation.

Please stay on topic: this post is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
**NOT the positive aspects of it.**
Discussion can relate to the technology itself or economics.
Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.
It's better to keep it calm then to stir the pot, so don't talk down to people, insult them for spelling/grammar, personal insults, etc. This should only be calm rational discussion about the technical and economic aspects of Monero.
"Do unto others 20% better than you'd expect them to do unto you to correct subjective error." - Linus Pauling
**How it works:**
Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this main post.
If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them - reply to that comment. This will make it easily sortable
Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.
As a community, as developers, we need to know about them. Even if they make us feel bad, we got to upvote them.

YieldNest is now taking it a step further with **MAX LRTs** — designed to maximize capital efficiency by combining restaking, lending, liquidity provisioning, and yield farming into a single composable vault.
At the core is **ynETHx**, a restaking vault currently offering up to **12.5% APY**. Unlike traditional staking or simple LRTs, MAX LRTs use AI-driven strategies to dynamically allocate capital in real-time. This allows the system to:
* Automatically optimize for yield and risk across DeFi protocols
* Maintain instant liquidity buffers so users can enter or exit without slippage
* Compound restaked rewards and lending yields into a unified return stream
* Minimize manual management and reduce fragmentation of yield strategies
In short, MAX LRTs turn passive ETH staking into an actively managed, yield-optimized asset — without compromising on liquidity or decentralization.
The implications for DeFi are significant. If adopted widely, MAX LRTs could become the backbone of more efficient DeFi yield generation, especially as restaking infrastructure matures (e.g., EigenLayer).
Would love to hear what others think:
* How sustainable is double-digit APY in a restaking environment?
* Are we comfortable relying on AI-managed strategies in smart contracts?
* Could this architecture replace traditional yield farming entirely?
YieldNest is pushing a vision of DeFi 2.0 that’s more automated, capital-efficient, and accessible. But as always — curious to hear where the community stands on this.

Saturday- Trump announced exemptions cause of Apple and Microsoft. They have a bone and we have a dog in the white house. BTC up.
Sunday- They realised market may rally on Monday and forgot to buy calls.
Trump- Semi conductor tariffs are coming on Monday. Reporters- why not today?
Lutnik- Those electronics exemptions are temporary.
China- f u. Drop all those tariffs.
Thoughts?
Conflict of interest: My 47dte TSLA puts.
If market tanks, I will buy NVDA calls tomorrow.

Let's say all internet communication between Europe and the United States is cut (ocean cables get all cut at the same time) and the monero network is split in two.
You could say that there is still satellite communications but I doubt that our nodes are able to communicate via satellite?
There would probably be a forced fork between our continents.
I think, the USA would still have a pretty powerful network. But would the european network be strong enough?
Also, would a recovery be possible ? Both chains could be in competition by the time the bond between both continents is restored. Would it then be politically and technically possible to merge them into a third new chain ?
Such an event could probably crash the whole fiat and crypto markets.

There's this new spot trading exchange called Bitnorf that was created on 2 April, 2025 and has been running for about 12 days now.. I invested a 100 bucks like 2 days ago and well I made a lil profit and I thought it was enough for the experiment and I went ahead and tried to withdraw it but was met with a request for verification deposit of about 850 usdt which is a lot honestly from where I come from. Not that I wouldn't do it if I was sure about it's legitimacy but according to my own research, the exchange is a bit shady. Anyone here who can test and comment on it's reliability? | r/cryptomarkets | post | r/CryptoMarkets | 2025-04-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlcG9JOTU0QjMzQWxOaUFsZjFQRVZORHZHeWt0c1RhMXBZUm5VU2VlMVRDX3ZwNE1TRjFZZ0Roa1cxSS0yRU5uNG9Za2o1NEUycTB6QmJnTk1feGE0X0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlODYxa0E5VnY0WXo4Ulo0N2txM2RLWm1ZOGFNM2xFQ1J0TUwtZHduZ3BUZDJSOHMzWXotY0ZFRjl3X2kwYzZHdzkyVm1FaWZhcTlhYjJxUTdxRHBlX2hUaElKVW16YlRhMzhsVXpzVU9aVjJMT3RGazNNOW5JeV9kSXc3cHgyR2RwYndqVzRlU2hJaXpLQkk4WU41MkF5SDV3clAzVlUxNk1BQk5id1ZTSDREMElGY3pGVktlQ1M5eEdsZkpOcjdV |

**U.S. Dollar Crisis and Potential Impact on Bitcoin**
The excerpt discusses a predicted "dollar confidence crisis" due to the escalating global trade war led by U.S. President Donald Trump. This crisis is causing the ICE U.S. Dollar Index to plummet, potentially leading to a re-evaluation of the dollar's status as the global reserve currency. As a result, some experts believe that central banks may diversify their reserves, including into bitcoin.
**Key Points:**
* The U.S. dollar is experiencing a "confidence crisis" due to the trade war.
* The dollar's decline may lead to a re-evaluation of its status as the global reserve currency.
* Central banks may diversify their reserves, including into bitcoin.
* Bitcoin's price may benefit from the dollar's decline, as it is seen as a safe-haven asset.
* Experts predict that the dollar's decline may lead to a "de-dollarisation" process, where countries reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar. | r/cryptocurrency | post | r/CryptoCurrency | 2025-04-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlUDZoeTRsYWJDSTJvZ29FNUYwZW4yNVotQnBUcnJqQkI5OEtaZ3BRUGVkUjduckNpYWMyM2VkaE5ucVNPVnBLay1NZ3gxN2V2MFd1WTMwNWhnS0N5TlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlaGRPMjRqenN3WlJtWFFjNWVGNjlRU0RKNjU3d1YzWjg1QzNHSGJwRWNSaVkxbF93MUx0TDc5UTlnX2tTblpPWlh0XzV2QW9lZmthR0FKaS1ZQmNVNG5PeVFoaXVwcEF4TXZXNlF1aE1iblBldXMwSktLQVVTaFBMT0NaLWdGLXpqd0NyVjF4X00xbmpMV0Rvc3lCNWtnaExVNHpQd29CRDNscHJWaW5XMy1uUkIxLWRRZ2REMUtaMUYzalVpMmZlNFJGcFdzejAwd21EZmpmZGFUNUp5UT09 |

Most people see Bitcoin as just another risky tech stock—or worse, like buying a lottery ticket. I used to think that way too. But the deeper I dug, the more I realized it's not just about price or profit. It’s really about freedom, math, and time.
Freedom: It's money that doesn't need permission. No central banks, no middlemen—just a system built on rules, not rulers.
Math: For the first time, we have digital scarcity. 21 million coins. Verifiable, auditable, and protected by a decentralized network.
Time: A new block every 10 minutes. Halvings every four years. It’s built to respect time in a way fiat never has.
I’m not trying to pump anything here—I just think a lot of people miss the bigger picture. Bitcoin isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s more like a get-free-slowly path. And the more I learn about money, history, and trustless systems, the more it all clicks.

The Weimar Republic and the Reichsmark would like to have a word with you.
"Go up" is rather meaningless if the purchasing power of your unit of account is dropping due to persistent inflation or hyperinflation.
Those fiat currencies don't stick around too long.
This should hint towards Bitcoin taking over the role of unit of account, but for that to happen is has to be a medium of exchange... Anyone see a problem?

On April 16th, the world’s first spot Solana ETFs will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. All four ETFs hold physical Solana—no futures, no leverage. A major milestone for institutional adoption.
Going to be interesting if this makes US regulators move faster.
Do you guys think these ETFs will get strong demand? Based on Solana's relative market cap, these ETFs could see around $250M in total assets.
UPDATE: Evolve Solana ETF just announced a fee waiver on their ETF, so 0% management fee until the end of the year.
Here is a breakdown of the 4 funds launching:

Welp, for 5 years I’ve always wanted a specific car part and for the past year I’ve been saving with the intent to buy a huge car part upgrade and decided to sell 70% of my bag at $133.69. I DCA down to $110 and decided green is green and the car part is on order!
With that said- in typical “my luck” fashion expect solana to shoot up!
Good luck to all of you!

Welp, for a year I was investing small amounts into shitcoins and trying to catch 100-1000x, but I basically lost it all - either in one meme coin, or over several ones. The amount I lost isn't a lot, but the time I spent hoping and praying is the biggest loss.
I've changed my mindset now, and will soon probably setup my ledger (which has been lying around in my drawer since October last year). While I will keep the ledger-protected wallet for serious coins only (SOL and other altcoins), I'll use my Phantom wallet for swaps and occasional tiny gambles instead. From now on, I will only hold SOL for SOL, not for shitcoins. The only time I will swap it is for USDC so that I have funds to buy back in during a bear market after a massive pump. Alongside that, I will also buy a few other altcoins for diversification.
As for meme coins? I'll only put in my tiny survey funds whenever I have some. If I don't, I will probably forget about it by getting a few dopamine hits another way online😂 | r/solana | post | r/solana | 2025-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlUkpMa0w3dm9UU3NaWmtWZEMtQ19Cc2U3b0RxVWJDam5WV1RiVi1JSGt6czJ4d0tFbjFMeUFZdGhsa3BLS0tHVEVQaWNwT2ZVSlEtc2JwTGVlOGp4ZWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVla1NuWlBmV21DTDVfV1ZUSzlfN3lnekF1VFNzc1A4UEZaM2gwOTNzU2Q3SFN2UWFINExJR0Joa0Zsbnp5eXpabXJrWVdHWEQyem5tSWtZdlQ1NERabjU1Yl9ELS1JaDdnU05iRUlOTlhBNWZIVFFzSFdseXhDRkNZSFlldEpxcWxaQW5hNHljNGljLTkwR3FlaEFHVGdjQlU2cFlLX0F4RVRKTGpUM244NW1TOHAzN0JBUW9RdFM5dGktSTlBQUJi |

Following up on the OpenAlias Checker, I built a new tool: an **OpenAlias Generator**. This simple web-tool lets anyone create a valid OA1 TXT record for their domain.
I also moved the checker tool to a new domain name: [CypherToshi.com](https://CypherToshi.com), which is where I will be publishing other privacy-first, open-source tools and projects over time.
If you have suggestions for other tools that could benefit the community, I'd love to hear them!

I joined Monero community a few months ago and since then I have been seen so much love and commitment from the tribe regarding spreading "why privacy matters", and this is something I appreciate the most.
I am not new in crypto (I have been around for quite a long time and I am a Content Creator for BCH) and also love privacy. I use BCH exclusively with Electron Cash that allows me to use Cashfusion, which is a privacy feature allowing to send BCH anonymously and I love it. But, even before this I was already using Brave wallet which is a browser allowing its users to navigate on the internet the best way possible privately and without being tracked.
In summary I'm not new to privacy and XMR tribe won my heart most because I see similarities with the tribe regarding why people should bet more in private money that is also peer-to-peer, lower fees and start getting more freedom to use money the way they should! BTC isn't private and have become more a store of value than a day-to-day currency. It can't be used as money anymore and for that people should use a layer2 solution such as lightning network. No privacy on it and nothing good comes from not respecting it. After all, privacy matters.
As content creator I want to help spread the word about Monero and all what it can bring to the people. I started my Kuno campaign: https://kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/oo1e/ that will help people understand how important and crucial is XMR into people's lives. I will be collecting different stories from the Monero people (real-life stories) where they share their experience using Monero on their day-to-day basis and compose articles, then share with the tribe on my blogs.
These stories will help understand how people deal with their money and why they chose to keep that way. After all, no one should be forced to use their cash to pay for things that matter and be registered on govt "books" for example. People deserve their freedom more than they imagine and this stories will be a catalyst to make even more people to join the XMR tribe. I see the mini-series as my "active" entrance on the tribe as an active contributor and trust me, when I am committed to a cause I take it very serious.
For that to happen I will be researching, contacting people from the community through social channels and after a successful story be registered, I will compose an article and share using my vast number of blogs where I share my content. I believe this will be a project that will bring a lot of users and people that are pro-privacy to the cause. People deserve their privacy and using a currency that stands for it to preserve it, is a game changer in the way for a great emancipation of the world. Privacy matters and it's time to people to realize how important is to use money the private way.
I hope you guys help me on this quest donating, sharing this piece and if you want to know more about, get in touch with me on X: https://x.com/@alberdioni8406_ ; email: alberdioni8406@proton.me ; or just send me a direct message here on Reddit and I would love to answer all your questions and doubts about this project of mine. The world need more privacy and using XMR to pay for things that really matter, is a way to reclaim it. Let's all embrace private money and help the people give value to their money using it without being tracked.
Privacy matters and is a human right. | r/monero | post | r/Monero | 2025-04-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlcldJS3JaZS1vWkY2d1hZOTZWcGtQeEV2X05JVDYtc2dRSjQ1NFFnc3VpS0V4Z0tyVzRZR1A1em5PREplbmsweWpsNFQwUHhDNmZ4SGZHclRrWklHb0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlY3BZVzFfa0I2ZDcxS29HYWo2b3JGWkdzbXFLT3l1aXlSTlZEa1pnX2RGZlBDM2o5bVowcGJSWHI0ZmRSall4dFppazdSM0pSdXpobHJjazdGbzU3NER4RVREaTJFNjNvZy1XNHpfdUQyTXpON1hNYmlzMHZ2bkZwSHJoOXlnc0VtOWduY0toMEtiV0RsWXplOW8xNnpKb2tEV1E5YVdtSFBwblNkRm1SVVNCVm40WVpXSXhFdTlfX3RydjVrRXI1MHVfOU1QSmpVWThVU3JtRWZMbEl6UT09 |
*The Monero Policy Working Group (MPWG) is a loose quorum of individuals attempting to engage in regulatory and policy conversations regarding cryptocurrency, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies.*
*This blog is also available to read* [*here*](https://privacyseries.github.io/posts/2019-01-01-about/)*.*
# Introduction
In a previous post, published on [reddit](https://redlib.kittywi.re/r/Monero/comments/1hp1auc/micar_and_the_monero_ecosystem) and the [Monero Policy Working Group website](https://privacyseries.github.io/posts/2024-12-22-micar-monero), I outlined the impact of the European [Market in Crypto-Assets Regulation](http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1114/2024-01-09) (MiCAR) on the Monero ecosystem.
In that post, I detailed that ‘fully decentralised’ crypto-asset offerings (activities, products, or services), without any intermediary, were exempt from the regulation. Seems like a win for decentralised projects? The issue is that that the term ‘fully decentralised’ has not been clearly defined, casting doubt on how to interpret and apply the regulation.
To complicate matters, the regulation states “...when part of such activities or services is performed in a decentralised manner” (MiCAR, Recital 22) – they **are** bound by the regulation.
This blog will attempt to provide some clarity as to what ‘fully decentralised’ might mean, shedding light on how ‘decentralised financial services’ (otherwise known as DeFi) that exist within the wider Monero ecosystem might be impacted by MiCAR.
Please note that what is written here is **not legal advice**. It is just a blog.
Also, it is worth remembering that providers of non-custodial hardware and software wallets are **exempt from being classified as crypto-asset service providers**, and thus exempt from the regulation (MiCAR, Recital 83).
# MiCAR focus
As I pointed out in the first blog, MiCAR sets rules for the European Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) ecosystem, providing legal obligations (MiCAR, Article 2) for aspects related to:
* transparency and disclosure requirements for the issuance or offer to trading of crypto-assets; requirements for the authorisation, supervision, operation, organisation and governance of crypto-asset service providers, and issuers of tokens;
* requirements for the protection of holders of crypto-assets;
* requirements for the protection of clients of crypto-asset service providers;
* measures to prevent insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation related to crypto-assets.
# MiCAR and decentralisation
While the general scope of MiCAR is probably beneficial for overall consumer acceptance and stability of the DLT ecosystem, the wording around the concept of ‘decentralisation’ is less so. With that in mind, what exactly is the wording? The answer is found in Recital 22:
>(22) This Regulation should apply to natural and legal persons and certain other undertakings and to the crypto-asset services and activities performed, provided or controlled, directly or indirectly, by them, including when part of such activities or services is performed in a decentralised manner. Where crypto-asset services are provided in a fully decentralised manner without any intermediary, they should not fall within the scope of this Regulation. This Regulation covers the rights and obligations of issuers of crypto-assets, offerers, persons seeking admission to trading of crypto-assets and crypto-asset service providers. Where crypto-assets have no identifiable issuer, they should not fall within the scope of Title II, III or IV of this Regulation. Crypto-asset service providers providing services in respect of such crypto-assets should, however, be covered by this Regulation.
MiCAR (unfortunately) does not explicitly describe, or indicate, how to determine whether a service or activity is “...provided in a fully decentralised manner without any intermediary”.
The immediate suggestion might be to try and identify an intermediary – if one is found, then MiCAR applies. If one isn’t, then it doesn’t. Seems simple enough, right?
In reality – without a definition of ‘intermediary’ (there is none in MiCAR) - this might be viewed as a risky approach.
The text of the regulation (MiCAR, Article 142, 2(a)) states that a report is due by late 2024:
>2. (a) an assessment of the development of decentralised-finance in markets in crypto-assets and of the appropriate regulatory treatment of decentralised crypto-asset systems without an issuer or crypto-asset service provider, including an assessment of the necessity and feasibility of regulating decentralised finance;
It is worth noting that the text cited above creates an explicit relationship between “decentralised crypto-asset systems” and “decentralised-finance” (with or without the hyphen).
Decentralised crypto-asset systems and decentralised finance (DeFi) are inextricably linked, and (one might assume) almost interchangeable concepts. There is probably a lot more nuance to this claim but, for simplicities sake, let’s treat the two two terms as interchangeable.
The “assessment” obliged by Article 142(2)(a) has now been delivered. It is jointly authored by the European Security and Markets Agency (ESMA) and the European Banking Authority (EBA), and titled “Recent developments in crypto-assets (Article 142 of MiCAR)”. It is available [here](https://www.esma.europa.eu/document/joint-eba-esma-report-recent-developments-crypto-assets-article-142-mica).
The primary focus is on decentralised finance (DeFi) and, in particular, topics such as:
* Consumer protection;
* ICT risk and risk mitigation;
* Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) and systemic risks related to that concept;
* Lending and borrowing, and staking.
Decentralisation, as a concept, is covered only broadly. It does not provide guidance on how to determine what ‘fully decentralised’ means exactly.
The report does, however, explicitly state that European regulatory bodies (and national competent authorities) should continue to work with global authorities, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), to determine when an entity should be considered a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) – and therefore an obliged entity (ESMA Report, Paragraph 97, pp.25-26).
As the report does not provide any real clarity on the ‘decentralisation exemption’, we have to look elsewhere.
The question of ‘decentralisation’ is particularly relevant for determining how decentralised finance (DeFi) might develop in Europe, and also how Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs) – including those that provide services for Monero – will determine their regulatory exemption (or liability).
Ultimately, the difference between being classified as ‘fully’ or ‘partly’ decentralised will determine both compliance obligations and, more importantly, apportioning of legal liability.
# So, what exactly is decentralisation then?
You might be surprised how difficult this question is to answer.
We all have a vague idea of what decentralisation might mean (e.g., no single governing entity, no centralised authority, no single coordinating entity, etc), but pinning it down to a formal definition is pretty difficult.
It gets further complicated when attempting to decide what indicator should be used to determine when something is ‘decentralised’ or ‘centralised’, or whether there is some threshold that, when crossed, determines if something is ‘no longer decentralised’.
In reality, ‘decentralisation’ is a spectrum: with a range between ‘fully decentralised’ and ‘not decentralised at all’.
However, these terms are pretty vague and finding some indicator in order to place a target on the spectrum, seems an illusive goal.
# Academic research on decentralisation
There is a rich tapestry of research on the concept of decentralisation, predominately studied through frames such as network theory, management theory, behavioural theory, and political theory (to name a few).
An article authored by [Bodó, Brekke, and Hoepman, in 2021](https://doi.org/10.14763/2021.2.1563) and, incidently, [funded by the European Research Council](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/759681/results) provides a ‘multidisciplinary’ overview of the topic.
Bodó et al, understand ‘decentralisation’ through the lens of network theory. Following on from the seminal (but often criticised) work of [Paul Baran, published in 1964](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1088883). Decentralisation is framed as the ‘level of node distribution in a network’, with a range existing between ‘centralised’ and ‘radically decentralised’, or, alternatively,‘distributed’.
In network theory, years of research built on the early work of Baron. For example, the book entitled [Network Science, by Barabási](https://www.networksciencebook.com/) delves into concepts related to emergence, resilience, and network evolution.
Bodó et al, however, maintain their focus on DLT networks and, critically, distinguish between three types of decentralisation discourse (Bodó et al, 2021):
* **Design-based:** decentralisation is a principle for design and engineering which can be used as a means to achieve certain properties.
* **Aim-based:** decentralisation can be an aim, where a given system is intended to have decentralising effects, for example decentralising the load of computation.
* **Claim-based:** decentralisation can be a claim, whereby a given system is designated as a decentralised system, but does not always live up to that in its deployment.
A small sub-section of decentralisation research (though growing) explicitly focuses on cryptocurrency ecosystems. A paper, entitled [Deconstructing ‘Decentralization’: Exploring the Core Claim of Crypto Systems](https://ssrn.com/abstract=3326244), written by [Angela Walch](https://angelawalch.com/) describes how ‘decentralisation’ is being used in myriad (often confusing) ways. She references how the term is impacted by, and impacts on, the concept of ‘permissionless’, noting that the two concepts seem inextricably linked, and requiring of mutual inclusivity.
Walch also explains how ‘decentralisation’ is being used as ‘a claim’ which, ultimately, determines legal liability. This is relevant for regulatory authorities, such as the United States Securities and Exchanges Committee (SEC), whose historic role was to determine whether DLT tokens are designated securities, or not. Their role is evolving in the current political climate, admittedly, but in the recent past their role was designated as this arbiter.
Walch describes this in her introduction, acknowledging the legal ramifications of ‘claim-based’ decisions. Walch builds on work by [Marcella Atzori](https://associazioneblockchain.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SSRN-id2709713.pdf), effervescently stating:
>“To be fully decentralized (whatever that means) is viewed as one of the ultimate goals of a permissionless blockchain system, a utopian summit to be scaled” (Walch, 2019, p. 6).
Walch also points to [Vitalik Buterin](https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/the-meaning-of-decentralization-a0c92b76a274), [Sarah James Lewis, on Twitter/X](https://x.com/SarahJamieLewis/status/1029212002953060352), and [Nic Carter’s MSc Thesis](https://niccarter.info/wp-content/uploads/dissertation_UoE_1617.pdf) to support the broad perspective that decentralisation is: a) complicated, b) difficult to define, and c) often impossible to quantify accurately.
She explains how the concept is further muddied if you consider networks as consisting of layers, all of which are required to be ‘decentralised’ if we can apply the term ‘fully decentralised’ in any meaningful way.
[Vitalik Buterin addressed the topic in 2017](https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/the-meaning-of-decentralization-a0c92b76a274), describing the tripartite nature of the discourse. He outlined three spectrums (including US Spelling):
* **Architectural (de)centralization:** how many physical computers is a system made up of? How many of those computers can it tolerate breaking down at any single time;
* **Political (de)centralization:** how many individuals or organizations ultimately control the computers that the system is made up of?;
* **Logical (de)centralization:** does the interface and data structures that the system presents and maintains look more like a single monolithic object, or an amorphous swarm? One simple heuristic is: if you cut the system in half, including both providers and users, will both halves continue to fully operate as independent units?
Buterin discredits the original diagram of Paul Baran – especially the manner in which it has been parroted across domains in sometimes confusing, or inaccurate, ways. Buterin does not, however, provide any meaningful way to qualify or quantify decentralisation in practice.
It is easy (and endless) to pitter patter around decentralisation philosophy – but, ultimately, what matters (especially with respect to legal liability) is how regulators understand, and apply, the term.
# The ‘authorities’ on decentralisation
Regulatory speaking, there are a few ‘official positions’ available on the topic.
Notable international and European agencies such as the [OECD](https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/why-decentralised-finance-defi-matters-and-the-policy-implications_109084ae-en.html), the [BIS](https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt2112b.pdf), [Banque de France](https://acpr.banque-france.fr/en/publications-and-statistics/publications/decentralised-or-disintermediated-finance-what-regulatory-response), [ESMA](https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2023-10/ESMA50-2085271018-3349_TRV_Article_Decentralised_Finance_in_the_EU_Developments_and_Risks.pdf), and the [ESRB](https://www.esrb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/reports/esrb.cryptoassetsanddecentralisedfinance202305~9792140acd.en.pdf?853d899dcdf41541010cd3543aa42d37) have all provided their ‘expert reports’ on DeFi. None, however, have provided a robust definition, or methods, for determining the degree of decentralisation.
# Does decentralisation exist?
A common theme does emerge when reading the reports: they believe that decentralisation in the DLT ecosystem is often ‘claim-based’.
They believe that projects, and networks, often publicly signal they are decentralised but, when analysed, it is usually possible to identify a centralised layer. This might be a concentration of decision making rights, a concentration of power in the validating nodes/miners, or a concentration of power over commits to a codebase. Usually this centralisation is kept somewhat opaque, in the broad hope that the market, or regulatory authorities, don’t dig deep enough to uncover it.
This line of thinking is not entirely new. Trail of Bits (a DLT security and consultancy firm) provided [their perspective on DLT decentralisation when engaging with DARPA sometime before 2022](https://www.trailofbits.com/documents/Unintended_Centralities_in_Distributed_Ledgers.pdf). Their opinion is that centralising forces exist across several DLT spectrums. It would seem, unfortunately, that these forces can be extrapolated (for the most part) to DLT-focused products and services (including the provision of DEX services).
In a similar vein, the BIS talk of a ‘decentralisation illusion’, taking a completely dismissive stance of the existence of decentralisation:
>“...the need for governance makes some level of centralisation inevitable and structural aspects of the system lead to a concentration of power.” (BIS, p.1)
[Banque de France](https://acpr.banque-france.fr/en/publications-and-statistics/publications/decentralised-or-disintermediated-finance-what-regulatory-response) dismisses decentralisation as a concept, and classifies the majority of DeFi projects as ‘disintermediated’ (Banque de France, Box.1, p.8), while the [ESRB](https://www.esrb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/reports/esrb.cryptoassetsanddecentralisedfinance202305~9792140acd.en.pdf?853d899dcdf41541010cd3543aa42d37), supported by [the aforementioned research from the BIS](https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt2112b.pdf)) claim strongly:
>
“Despite their name, DeFi protocols can never be fully decentralised. They need mechanisms for making strategic decisions, adapting to changes and correcting errors. Governance, operation and maintenance always have a significant degree of centralisation.” (ESRB, p.8)
While it is possible to see a pattern of thought emerging, the OECD take a more considered approach. They describe three core characteristics of DeFi projects:
* **Non-custodial:** No central authority or other intermediary gains access to or control over participants’ digital assets;
* **Self-governed and community driven:** DeFi protocols are open-source and allow the community to review and further develop the code underlying the protocols (the OECD, however, note that many DeFi projects do not allow their community to vote, have voting disconnected from governance tokens, or do not allow protocol changes through voting mechanisms);
* **Composable:** Existing components of DeFi networks (i.e., digital assets, smart contracts, protocols and applications built on top of the protocol layer) can be combined to create new applications. The open source nature of DeFi applications is a critical enabler of this attribute, as it allows everyone to look at the code and use it to create new applications.
The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (otherwise known as Finanstilsynet) also provides a more considered (though nuanced) perspective, mirroring some of the work from the OECD.
Finanstilsynet are the designated National Competent Authority for Denmark, responsible for implementation and oversight of MiCAR in Denmark.
They recently published [“Principles for the assessment of decentralisation in the markets for crypto-assets”](https://www.dfsa.dk/Media/638549094736906876/PrinciplesCryptoAssetsPDF_250624.pdf).
The report provides a broad discussion of the concept of decentralisation and, correctly, outlines that the regulation (MiCA):
>“...does not address when a service can be regarded as being offered in a fully decentralised manner. MiCA or other legal acts also do not contain a clear definition of the concept of ‘decentralised’. It is thus a new concept.” (Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, p.5)
Finanstilsynet, however, **do provide a method for qualifying the degree of decentralisation**. The method is based on a series of questions of which ‘yes/no’ responses determine whether a product, service, or activity is bound by MiCAR.
The high-level overview is provided in \[this diagram\](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/privacyseries/privacyseries.github.io/refs/heads/master/images/diagram.png):
Finanstilsynet put great emphasis on the existence of a ‘legal entity’, including the ability to identify the specific activity that the legal entity has disposal over.
The existence of a legal entity that enters into a provision of software, execution of contract, or interaction (including an interface – whether application or web-based) is a critical determinant of whether the offering is ‘fully’ or ‘partially’ decentralised.
This has ramifications for how ‘fully decentralised’ products, services, or activities should be presented to the market.
In reality – they should follow the core characteristics outlined by the OECD, and, correspondingly, ensure that no legal entity has singular disposal over meaningful components of the offering. Practically, however, this might be more difficult than it seems.
As outlined in the Finanstilsynet report, applications offered on app-stores owned by Apple or Google require a legal entity for authentication and accountability purposes.
The infrastructure that supports DeFi offerings will, more than likely, require third-party services to run correctly (servers, domain name registrations, website hosting services, etc).
These will probably have to be purchased, or rented, by a named entity (legal or natural person). All of these might provide an explicit avenue of implication under the ‘all perceiving eyes’ of the regulator.
It’s also important to note that we have seen recent judicial rulings, such as the [CFTC vs Ookie DAO](https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8715-23), that implicates a ‘group of participants’ as ‘partnerships’, which in turn has legal ramifications.
This attack surface is seemingly accounted for within MiCAR: “(22) This Regulation should apply to natural and legal persons and **certain other undertakings**…” (MiCAR, Recital 22)
Whether or not we will see similar rulings in European courts is still unknown. [The United Kingdom Law Reform Commission recently published a paper on DAOs and their legal ramifications](https://lawcom.gov.uk/project/decentralised-autonomous-organisations-daos/), while the [European Central Bank published a paper on DAOs and their future in finance](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpops/ecb.op331~a03e416045.en.pdf).
Both papers seem to pose more questions than answers, but suggest that the existence of a DAO does not immediately imply lack of legal liability – individually or collectively.
Whether this line of thinking can be extrapolated to “...certain other undertakings…” (MiCAR, Recital 22) such as loose communities of people, repository contributors, repository maintainers, network participants, etc, is still extremely opaque.
This might not be the most welcome conclusion but, unfortunately, with the nascent state of decentralised systems, this is where we are.
It is difficult to imagine a world where ‘decentralisation == exemption from legal liability’, but it is also difficult to imagine a world where the decentralisation ideology isn’t able to lead the development of meaningful, and impactful, tools for the beneficial development of society.
# Conclusion
In the murky, muddy, and distinctly dirty world of DL Techno-infused-enfranchisement, decentralisation might be viewed as a ‘pseudo-fantasia’. Much like the word ‘blockchain’, we have reached a stage of apoplectic semantic satiation. It means everything and nothing simultaneously.
Decentralisation is parroted as the panacea for humanities ills, leveraged on web3, and driven by a desire to build everything on a rich bed of proto-meme-monetarianism and cryptographic allegory, served alongside some sort of verifiable packed lunch (with a side of cheese strings).
In reality – the Rule of Law wants to eat the [Law of Code](https://lessig.org/product/codev2/) for breakfast. This process is both financially lucrative and era-defining; mixed together with a pinch of salt in the zeitgeist’s technocratic political power stew.
What more could technologists, angel investors, lawyers, policy makers, and regulators want to massage their emboldened egos?
Practically speaking – it’s going to be extremely difficult to prove, conclusively, that a DLT offering is ‘fully decentralised’ – but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying, even if the baying hound of the regulator is at the door.
Ensuring crypto-asset offerings are completely free and open-source, permissionless, and explicitly community driven (including software distribution, code maintenance, idea collation, and governance) seems a fair starting point.
Removing identifiable profit motives, revenue streams, and any, and all, legal entities from the socio-political tech stack seems the next logical step.
After that? Probably urge others to build on what has been built – fostering emergence and driving explicit bifurcation across both physical, and digital, planes.
Is all that actually achievable **and** sustainable? Honestly, I have no idea. Thankfully, the regulators probably don’t know either.

I believe we can safely have 1-minute block time WITHOUT sacrificing anything in scalability / decentralization - because tech has advanced so much since 2009. Even worst-case orphan rate would be under 2% (case of full block download), and thanks to compact blocks typical rates would be in 0.2%-0.6% range ([full analysis](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md#mining-centralization)).
Not only that, but we can do a [little refactoring](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md#blockchain-height-abstraction) so it would be easy to later change to 30s when tech further advances - we could make target block time just 1 parameter like blocksize limit, with everything auto-adjusting around it (DAA, emission, ABLA, locktime, etc.)
### What about emission?
Of course everything stays the same, before: 3.25 BCH x 1 block every 10 minutes, after: 0.325 BCH x 10 every 10 minutes.
Due to integer rounding there'd be [slightly less BCH minted in total](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md?ref_type=heads#block-subsidy-shortfall): 20,999,999.7270 instead of 20,999,999.9769.
### What would this change mean for UX?
- 1-conf: now 1-in-4 TXs will wait 14 min. or more, and 1-in-20 will wait 30 min. or more; with 1-min target the variance band is reduced to 1-3 min. I even made a little game where you can test your confirmation luck ([link](https://fablous-18ff29.gitlab.io/)) and get a feel for the difference.
- N-conf: now a 60min target wait (6x10) will exceed 80 min. 1-in-5 times. With faster blocks a 60min target wait (60x1) would get more reliably closer to 60min, with only 0.86% chance of exceeding 80min
### What about 0-conf?
It's great, we continue to use it. This [will make on-boarding easier](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md?ref_type=heads#potential-0-conf-adoption-benefits) as it will shorten the uncertainty window, and there are cases where 0-conf must fall back to 1-conf which would benefit from this (like when moving from 0-conf defi to 0-conf merchant payments - the p2sh unconfirmed ancestors create risks here)
### What about header chain overheads?
- Nodes will always need whole header chain, and it will grow at ~42MB/year, trivial at current state of tech
- Light clients need those for verifying SPV proofs but thankfully there's [a way to compact that data for light clients](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md#spv-client-storage-requirements)
### What about locktime?
This was one of my concerns too, turns out this is the [easiest technical challenge to solve](https://gitlab.com/0353F40E/fablous/-/blob/master/readme.md?ref_type=heads#transaction-locktime-and-input-sequence).
**There is no technical obstacle to having 1-minute block time. The only question is: do we want it?**
### But Bitcoin always had 10-minute time, will we still be Bitcoin?
Of course we will. Ask yourself, what makes Bitcoin Bitcoin?
From the WP:
>What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party. Transactions that are computationally impractical to reverse would protect sellers from fraud, and routine escrow mechanisms could easily be implemented to protect buyers. In this paper, we propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server to generate computational proof of the chronological order of transactions. The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any cooperating group of attacker nodes.
The 10-minute time was a number Satoshi picked and didn't think too much about, I found that his concerns were only of practical nature. I discuss that head-on in the CHIP's Intro:
In Bitcoin whitepaper ([Section 7. Reclaiming Disk Space](https://github.com/ibz/bitcoin-whitepaper-markdown/blob/master/bitcoin-whitepaper.md#7-reclaiming-disk-space)), it was only mentioned once, when discussing node memory requirements:
>A block header with no transactions would be about 80 bytes. If we suppose blocks are generated every 10 minutes, 80 bytes * 6 * 24 * 365 = 4.2MB per year. With computer systems typically selling with 2GB of RAM as of 2008, and Moore's Law predicting current growth of 1.2GB per year, storage should not be a problem even if the block headers must be kept in memory.
When paper was first revealed on Cryptography Mailing List, it was also mentioned only once, alongside with explanation of Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA):
>> Further, your description of events implies restrictions
>> on timing and coin generation - that the entire network
>> generates coins slowly compared to the time required for
>> news of a new coin to flood the network
>
>Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The target time between blocks will probably be 10 minutes.
>
>Every block includes its creation time. If the time is off by more than 36 hours, other nodes won't work on it. If the timespan over the last 6*24*30 blocks is less than 15 days, blocks are being generated too fast and the proof-of-work difficulty doubles. Everyone does the same calculation with the same chain data, so they all get the same result at the same link in the chain.
Only later, in [e-mail exchange with Mike Hearn](https://www.bitcoin.com/satoshi-archive/emails/mike-hearn/9/#selection-25.3372-25.4009), did Satoshi give a hint about reasoning, to describe what we now call orphan races and selfish mining:
>>Another is the 10 minute block target. I understand this was chosen to
>>allow transactions to propagate through the network. However existing
>>large P2P networks like BGP can propagate new data worldwide in <1
>>minute.
>
>If propagation is 1 minute, then 10 minutes was a good guess. Then nodes are only losing 10% of their work (1 minute/10 minutes). If the CPU time wasted by latency was a more significant share, there may be weaknesses I haven't thought of. An attacker would not be affected by latency, since he's chaining his own blocks, so he would have an advantage. The chain would temporarily fork more often due to latency.
Since then, technology has progressed immensely and a thriving industry of Bitcoin competitors ("altcoins", near-universally preferring lower block times) has emerged demonstrating viability of shorter block times.
Bitcoin Cash can now follow suit, leveraging today's tech to rethink that 10-minute legacy.
We will lean on the same reasoning as Satoshi's, and use a more conservative orphan rate threshold (2%), to show that Bitcoin Cash can safely upgrade to 1-minute target block time and reap 10x improvement in confirmation speed. | r/btc | post | r/btc | 2025-04-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlNS12cHNZWTJnNlllRnVIMlZ2dHMwTnhJSGJfeXdLOUtRVVRVLXNXOEtPaHVZMFJTN04tRjVLenlkdVdCdnExRWVtR3RBd3ROSzhldjZwY2x3ZTE1RTJYY1pRWDVXNDNMcU9za1NJZzdOZms9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlay1wY1E1NTVsdXBRTU1EbWtNcXhKY3N3d2ZLSEx6T0c3ZU9TZWg1T21RZUg0cVN3dzhjNHE3Zk9tTGZsMWRxaEtoTUR1bE9BYkNqeFVDdmFuUTNieFA3eDVRWDdSclppbkFtTFVSbnYxcU8wSy1LVmhIQjFDZ0NaVzNZY0tIMDRCWFVQeHFRel83Y2prLXYxSkNOYk1kQTZXeHdZLXkwQURiZ1JXN3FSY2U4TlFOb2lFSmpjcXJNWVN1TTVsVlV5 |
Most of us have accepted that using the internet means sacrificing privacy, but that shouldn’t be the norm. Think about it: when you log into an app, they get your name, email, location, contacts, and even the way you scroll. And it’s all packaged up and sold behind the scenes. The Terms of Service are a smokescreen. We’re giving away billions in data value without getting a penny or a say.
This is where Frequency stands out. It’s not just another blockchain, it’s building real tools on Polkadot ecosystem that let you own your data and your online identity. With decentralized identity (DID) tech, Frequency is changing the game, you choose how your identity works across platforms, and you control what’s visible and what’s not. It’s not just theory either. The tech is already being put to use.
One real-world example is MeWe, a social platform that’s now built on Frequency. While big social networks run on ad dollars and data sales, MeWe and Frequency are trying to show that social media can be private, user-owned, and still work well. You keep your profile, your posts, your settings, even if you move to another app that also supports Frequency. That’s a big deal. It’s like carrying your account with you, but without giving up your personal info every time.
For once, it feels like there’s a real path toward a better internet. Not a perfect one, but one where you at least have a say. These kinds of platforms deserve more eyes on them. What are some other tools or projects you’ve come across that give users real control? Let’s share what’s working. | r/polkadot | post | r/Polkadot | 2025-04-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlTzB2MER3dnpwZXYtanMtQUw1Y2NuaDFFVHoyS0g1NWcxSVZhRl9jSTNGeWJlTmdSVXlrd2Q1d19oSnJfVXhra1YtMXRrTUlqdGFxNVRKd3JxelNsVEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlMWpnUUMxVmUtV3Raa3VCR3ltQkU3eGVzUUVfZkZ4NXI2eUNONWtaMUNaWTNpbUEtbF9MeHR4S3pCUUlCZ1hhVnVWS09fVjdJc01MdVg2OVd4c1hUYlVCdWcwUlNpWFJBT1dsaFlWZGlJZUxhZnNQMHc0Tjh3eHN0NTlBMG93cUxfUzJ3MUZvTl9wWWFZbkFjQ3A3Q3lnNzhCdVF0cmd1Q00xRjhVY1NWTnJEdnpHV2N4dFd2WEdOWkdUc2lHcVJLb0VxeFZkcXpMNFFHNl83NnN4WlQ1UT09 |
When everything’s pumping, it’s easy to show up and be loud. But when the charts go red and the hype dies down, that’s when you see who actually cares.
In every project I’ve joined, the bear market always quiets the crowd, but there’s always a few who stick around, still chatting, still building, still showing up. Those are the real ones.
Feels like this is when real communities are built. Anyone else notice that?

In my current case I’m just holding Sol at an average price of $140 so I’m holding but is staking beneficial? | r/solana | post | r/solana | 2025-04-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlOXo4Y2tWVVVfb1JwM2Yzei1aSkxfcEx3WU1JX0thVFIzdDY1Y1VWQUlZVnJVYVVRbjU2ZGIta1lzWlZyTlhRT1RuUjR4eVB3aWpWdHc0QXQtUjdMUFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlR1BJZE5hZXZYOUZxWHVNZVpfd3JKMDdoT2U5MlhwN2JLbWk4dlg1bnQyUWJfdDB6N1hoTlEwcktmb1Nzb1ZSNHRSYzJJbUJtbThVcFIxSV9DZnk5UUZWS1JUQnZxcjBLRXktT1dOZ3AzRXFBSDNaaTF2RjZ3cTdwWTZobld2aFBVMHVvWHZ6dkJieFZsbDBrWEMzZEZFUmwzcnkzVDNyRk9GemxhRWZEQWNNPQ== |

Hey everyone! I've been trying to improve my crypto knowledge and stay on top of developments in the space, but sometimes feel overwhelmed by the number of sources out there.
I'm curious where most of you get your crypto news from and why you trust those particular sources. Are there specific websites you check daily? YouTube channels you never miss? Twitter/X accounts that always have the scoop before anyone else? What makes these sources stand out from the others for you?
Also interested in understanding how you prefer to consume crypto content. Do you prefer reading detailed articles, skimming quick updates, watching in-depth analysis videos, or listening to podcasts while doing other things? Does this change depending on the type of information (e.g., technical analysis vs project updates vs regulatory news)?
Finally, I've been considering subscribing to some crypto newsletters to get curated content delivered directly to my inbox. What are your thoughts on newsletters in the crypto space? Any that you find particularly valuable or that have consistently provided good insights? Or do you find them generally not worth the inbox clutter?
Looking forward to hearing everyone's preferences and maybe discovering some new quality sources! | r/cryptomarkets | post | r/CryptoMarkets | 2025-04-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlN2QxNmZ5Z2MzNDVwLTZMZ0xxdWFfWkdnOGVGTm5SdTFydkhDd2N5ejF4VjZTUkUydEhBM25SOFhkd081N3BHOXRURzRlaW16SF9mZnVqeGtjMEUza2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlSXU5RE0zRlpoelBHeWdIRUJvZ181bUxaUWhfb09nR2lRNkgtdWpsUGxuWml0Y254LTVURlprZ3djcjNqaER1Qkh3Q1h5ZF9LTkZBYUJqS1VNMkxISlk5SW1BVVA0TU9nMWV4aDJDRjdxUVlYZG1OVDBvSEFuTVVjcGY5eTR0MXZ5VFVMZHRUTUNnZG1qVUVRaExsSTF4bncwWGgxYW1zRVBWT1RLaUNJRVVaU3pwMjZuX1lJM0gwUUlTMGJXazkteE1Uc2hTNEpRSFhib09rc3ZfYlI1QT09 |
Attention: The “up to a 245% tariff” represents the maximum 245% faced by syringe and needles from China (as in source 2), which is a restatement of previous tariffs and not an increase (though they may want to make it sounds more terrifying by saying this way).
OP: If you see SPX future down right now, it’s mainly due to a bad earning just release by ASML. The market is too weak and sensitive to bad news now.

I’m not saying there won’t be any deal whatsoever, but the US China trade as we know it is OVER. The base for a mutually beneficial trade agreement degrades every single day.
Chinese previous US farm product, mineral, aircraft orders are already SOLD to countries like Brazil, ASEAN, EU to make sure they don’t join potentials US secondary tariffs against China. It won’t make any sense for China to not honor these deals just to please the US. On the other hand, US is tightening export controls over high end chips and machinery which also work against reducing trade deficit in the grand scheme of things.
The only possible deal is that China will drastically reduce export to the US for US to accept a moderately smaller Chinese import commitment.
My expectation is that Chinese export to the US will drop from 439b$ a year to less than 200b$ while import from US will drop from 143b$ to less than 100b$ a year. | r/wallstreetbets | post | r/wallstreetbets | 2025-04-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlcXo5T0xIdENTZWpXMU4zSXRJemRtbkZJNWtWaDdUN3d0Q2N5aEQ4QS10WWU1OUhfSXJpN2daT0xrM3FCZ0cyb3dra3ppSUFuZWxlak0wd2I4aVk0NXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlTEdrNzRQMHVIZFpZREVFeHVzQkwyU2F6czA2c1lfQldmRmpiUEpvTGRhcTdsNlI3cGxlMlNuNWZRNFJPZldKZUlEcW9SMjlGNVVzY2dBMzdMZXViZEI1TmdpNDNXMmRYU2J5ZVdvSkUzTXoyUjN6YU41UmFvTksycHhLS2J2OXk5eVV5RVRPanMwbVJ1enp1Rm96Qzkyck1qYmU2T2gtNWFPdVlVaktnb3ctOHVfdXhreGFfNHRqQXRzSmhoOGlZc0c5Wk1vcTFqWjlFQ2EtOWtuNXJYUT09 |

The world's first spot Solana ETFs are now trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. All the ETFs will be staking up to 50% of their portfolios.
I’m probably going with SOLA since it has a 0% management fee until the end of the year.
If this launch goes well, it could speed up the chances of seeing spot Solana ETFs approved in the U.S. once the SEC gives the green light.
Here is the summary of all 4 ETFs now trading:

When the price pumps, everyone shows up. When it dumps, most vanish. But a real community? That sticks around no matter what. I’ve seen projects with zero hype survive just because the people refused to let it die. Charts matter, sure, but community keeps things alive when everything else fades.

Hi guys! I hope you guys are all doing fine! I want to know from the forum if Ethereum Cash is still actually a valuable to crypto to hold into. I have around 1150 units of ETC at around 30 dollars. I just see the waveline trend and it seems that we will go beyond the 100 dollar mark. I truly believe it will reach 175 dollars by May 6th. Can you guys give me your most honest opinions? thank you. I hope everyone makes a lot of money for their needs. | r/ethereumclassic | post | r/EthereumClassic | 2025-04-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlekxrLXYxd2tSU3g5RmpaQ0FPSWU1MWRCNURwb2VDTFE2Rnh4T1BiWThTYUQzWkJBcEw2OFFKVnY3Ul94eEZUZGpHNllWZFdjci00WmxvMDRoMUJLY1hqZ3NUczB4dzJCcmtmLVY5WE5lS0U9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9HZmVlN05kUFY3QWZIRXhidlNCSHRValNoUFktUzlvNHZYVENrdVlqNDh5YzVmREJ5dVNSeDUweFJhZzRqTERVR1hJM0otX3g4RmNfSlRvR0haMXR4bmRaZG5ZeGlKMGdsWVFkRUVCeEk0SndJTDUzNVJ1TEtYVl9KT18wNkV6RUxzNmYtMk94S3ZsOVdodHk5bFY3cnpPVW8talU4U1R6MUNub1B5elFsa3QydG1WOHlocFJqdVd6UWN4LWNmdzczUDFo |
