Yes, it’s early days, but we think Web 3 looks pretty awesome. As do the battalions of venture capitalists who have been pouring money into Web3 protocols and generating masses of hype in the Twittersphere. So, if you’re wondering what Web 3.0 is and how it could disrupt the world, keep watching! According to the market data and analysis company Pitchbook, venture capitalists have pumped $27 billion into crypto platforms and crypto-related projects so far in 2021. Ali Yahya, a crypto partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, recently said “We’re at an inflection point that will lead into an even faster pace of innovation and growth in Web3.” Even the mainstream media, including the Guardian and the New York Times, have picked up on the hype and are writing about Web3. Ideas for Web3 were first pitched back in 1999 by none other than the inventor of the World Wide Web himself – Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee believed that what we’re today referring to as Web3 would be known as the “Semantic Web,” which would involve AI solving problems like unclear search queries using linguistic context. For instance, evaluating whether a search query like “What is a Jaguar?” refers to the cat or the car by using the context of the question. But what Web3 has turned out to be, or might look like at least, is much more exciting than just the Semantic Web and goes far and beyond what Berners-Lee first envisioned. But before we get too far into what Web3 will be, let’s do a quick recap of the world wide web so far…. <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=123s\">2:03</a> - Web 1.0: The First Web 2.37 - Web 2.0: The Connected Web <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=274s\">4:34</a> - What is Web 3.0? <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=318s\">5:18</a> - Web 3.0 will be more accessible than Web 2.0 and permissionless <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=409s\">6:49</a> - Web 3.0 applications will give us more control over our data <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=503s\">8:23</a> - Web 3.0 will utilise the best of AI and Machine Learning to improve online services <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=596s\">9:56</a> - Web 3.0 will use DAOs to democratise internet-based platforms and services <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPfPqbAlJw&amp;t=768s\">12:48</a> - Web 3.0 will offer censorship-proof platforms which are nearly impossible to bring down 🔔 From crypto news, to market moves, and to educational how to videos, such as the one today.

Blockchain has come a long way since then, but a lot of people still either describe it this way or have a conception which boils down this. At the time though, it did feel somewhat magical, despite the fact that the first primary use cases centered around illicit activity (which left an indelible taint that haunts the blockchain industry to this day).\r\n\r\nMost people have only recently become aware of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Consequently, most people have no idea of its origins or what things were like in the early days. <a href=\"https://www.researchaffiliates.com/publications/articles/820-bitcoin-magic-internet-money\">Bitcoin used to be something far different than it is today.</a>\r\n\r\nIn the early days of Bitcoin, because few people really understood how it worked, investors would send and receive units of Bitcoin to gain a better understanding of the investment they had made. They saw their BTC leave one wallet and enter another wallet within seconds.\r\n\r\nDuring the early 2010s, instantaneous payment tools such as Venmo, Cash App, Apple Cash, and Zelle did not exist. Options for sending money were limited. An ACH transfer took several days and wiring money could take several hours at a cost of around $25, whereas Bitcoin fees were less than a cent. Bitcoin had a magical feel to it.\r\n\r\nBitcoin used to be fast, cheap, and actually used for transactions. At least, that’s how it was for the people who actually went through the hassle of getting a wallet, downloading the entire blockchain onto your computer to have a copy of every single transaction stored locally, finding a miner or someone else willing to sell you Bitcoin, and paying them directly to send it to you. The only alternative for most people to get Bitcoin was Mt. Gox, initially created to trade <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> cards, <a href=\"https://cryptobriefing.com/what-happened-to-mt-gox-history-bitcoin-exchange/\">but was well known for being an extremely risky proposition</a>.\r\n\r\nIt was a hassle only tech nerds and people with few other options would push through. But it was what it purported to be: <a href=\"https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf\">a peer-to-peer electronic cash system</a>.\r\n\r\nSo what happened? Why is the Bitcoin we see today expensive to transfer and largely marketed as a “store of value” and “digital gold” instead of peer-to-peer electronic cash?\r\n\r\nIn a word, Blockstream happened, but its far more complex than that.\r\n<h2>To get a better understanding, a brief history lesson will help</h2>\r\nRemember that indelible taint from the first use cases? The Bitcoin community didn’t want crypto relegated to the status of a dark web currency for criminals and tried to reign itself in. The Bitcoin Foundation was created in 2012 and brought on the protocol’s lead developers to improve its image.\r\n\r\nThat didn’t work. Much of the community criticized the Foundation for trying to work with government and regulators to improve Bitcoin’s image, and the presence of high-profile disasters such as the Mt. Gox CEO resigning from the board after the exchange’s collapse (and the arrest of another board member for involvement in the Silk Road drug incident) did little to help.\r\n\r\nIn 2014, a lot of the developers banded together to try and fix things. They started Blockstream to develop an ecosystem of companies and developers building “<a href=\"https://blockstream.com/2014/10/23/en-why-we-are-co-founders-of-blockstream/\">trustless cryptographic infrastructure.</a>”\r\n\r\nIt originally sounded like a good idea. Bitcoin had previously grown completely organically and the number of altcoins had begun to grow substantially, most of which have since effectively disappeared. Organizing the development of the industry certainly seemed like a great way to streamline the entire ecosystem, which was starting to explode as more and more development teams continually created more and more forks, currencies, and projects in the space.\r\n\r\nBut Blockstream, like many startups, went out and raised money from venture capitalists. As a result, they ended up at least partially owned by a lot of<a href=\"https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2016/02/04/blockstream-investors-see-commercial-use-cases-for-bitcoin-blockchain/\"> large financial institutions</a>.\r\n<h2>Mainstream adoption of Bitcoin posed a serious threat to the powers that be</h2>\r\nA digital asset that you can own and <em>hold outside a centralized system</em> poses a serious threat to legacy finance and the people who control the global monetary system.\r\n\r\nThe WEF brags that by 2030, we will own nothing, but we’re already almost there. How much physical cash do you have, versus what’s in your bank and credit accounts? How many physical stock certificates do you possess, versus what’s in your 401(k) prospectus? How many people reading this truly own their homes?\r\n\r\nIn truth, we own almost nothing. Even if you have a fully paid off house, the government still owns it via property taxes which they can raise until you’re unable to pay them if they really want to tighten the screws. Bitcoin threatened this by enabling an alternative system for ownership of everything that stood entirely outside their control.\r\n\r\nThis is why it had to be stopped.\r\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin had to be crippled for the global elite to maintain their control.</strong></h2>\r\nMost people don’t know that the original Bitcoin protocol was <em>far</em> different than it is today. Bitcoin, as represented by BTC, was intentionally crippled by Blockstream after they started receiving large investments. <a href=\"https://coinclarity.com/what-is-the-bitcoin-block-size-limit-debate/\">They deliberately broke Bitcoin by limiting the block size</a> and removing all its extra functionality.\r\n\r\nThis was done ostensibly to preserve decentralization, but in practice all it did was eliminate almost every use case for Bitcoin. It drove up transaction fees, greatly <a href=\"https://issuu.com/conzettverlag/docs/how_bitcoin_sv_will_win\">limited transaction speeds</a>, and made it so all you could do with Bitcoin was send it from one person to another, albeit much more slowly and costly than in the early years.\r\n\r\nThe developers who have assumed control of the main Bitcoin code value decentralization so highly that they intentionally prevented Bitcoin from achieving scale. By imposing technical constraints on the amount of data that could be written to the Bitcoin database and removing the native programming language which enabled much of Bitcoin’s functionality, the initial developers of Bitcoin transformed BTC into what they consider to be state-free money or “digital gold”. One of <a href=\"http://multicoin.capital/\">Multicoin Capital’s</a> three “crypto mega theses” is that global state-free money, like BTC, will be able to capture a market they value at $100 trillion.\r\n\r\nDestroying Bitcoin’s scalability resulted in a network that is slow and expensive, even at a level of usage that is miniscule relative to the valuation of the currency. Today (5/1/2020), BTC’s transaction fees hover at around $1.80 but have reached as high as $50 in times of peak traffic. BTC’s lack of scale has eliminated the possibility for most of Bitcoin’s revolutionary features and use cases. Since BTC’s only remaining value proposition is trustless, censorship resistant “digital gold,” which necessitates that the network doesn’t scale, BTC indeed does not scale. With scale topping out at around seven transactions per second, we don’t see how mainstream adoption is feasible.\r\n\r\nThis is not what it was supposed to be. This is not the peer-to-peer electronic cash Satoshi described.\r\n<h2>So what actually is Bitcoin now, if its no longer what it was originally supposed to be?</h2>\r\nI regularly see accusations leveled at Bitcoin.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>It’s a government honeypot.</li>\r\n 	<li>It’s a Ponzi scheme.</li>\r\n 	<li>Its backed by nothing and has no intrinsic value.</li>\r\n 	<li>It will be useless in an SHTF scenario.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIn truth, it is all of these and none of these at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt’s highly unlikely that Satoshi was some government operative. I personally believe Satoshi was wise to go into hiding, as the likelihood of assassination was probably rather high. It may come out that one of the people claiming to be Satoshi actually is, but its highly improbable that he glows in the dark.\r\n\r\nHowever, it makes sense that people believe that. Crypto certainly looks like the sort of scheme a government operative would dream up, and the growing talk of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) certainly gives that theory more credence. However, CBDCs are a<a href=\"https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/cbdcs\"> perversion of crypto</a>, not a successor to them.\r\n\r\nThe idea of Bitcoin as a honeypot revolves around the store-of-value narrative, but Bitcoin was never supposed to be a store of value. It was supposed to be a publicly accessible database, which enabled payments from one person to another by accessing database records and writing new information.\r\n<h2>That’s the electronic cash system</h2>\r\nA mechanism to directly transfer money by moving it from one account in a publicly accessible ledger to another without having to go through an intermediary and attaching any additional information to that transfer you need for the transaction to be properly understood.\r\n\r\nThe store-of-value narrative has indeed effectively created a pseudo-Ponzi scheme. It was certainly not <em>designed</em> to be a scam, but the crippling of Bitcoin and reduction to one use-case has made it into a game of musical chairs. Everyone will make money as long as everyone holds, but eventually people will start cashing out and someone will be left without a chair.\r\n\r\nIn truth, this describes pretty much every asset. Early buyers benefit from price appreciation and push the price down when as sell. The difference is that with other assets like stocks, you own something which continually produces revenues.\r\n\r\nBitcoin, and other cryptos, by and large produce no revenues. There are exceptions, but those of us working on such projects generally avoid describing them that way lest we summon the wrath of the SEC. And so the assertion that cryptocurrencies have no underlying value has merit, although <a href=\"https://stomarket.com/\">there are security tokens</a> which are effectively company stock, <a href=\"https://paxos.com/paxgold/\">tokens which are backed 1-to-1 by precious metals</a> in audited reserves, <a href=\"https://www.nftytoken.io/nfty-protocol\">and tokens which enable holders to earn stablecoins</a> (cryptocurrencies pegged 1-to-1 to another asset, usually a fiat currency and most commonly USD) that can be quickly cashed out.\r\n\r\nIt is also true that none of this will matter if you are a prepper, because when SHTF, no asset which relies on the internet or electricity will have any utilization. However, insofar as cryptocurrencies are concerned, this will only affect you if you make the foolish mistake of not keeping your crypto in a wallet or if <em>everything</em> falls apart.\r\n\r\nIf the latter happens, the best preps will likely be food, lead, and pharmaceuticals. In an SHTF scenario where the internet doesn’t completely go down, crypto might actually be preferred in certain situations. It all depends on what actually happens, and since we can’t accurately predict the future, all we can do is hedge against possible scenarios.\r\n\r\nOne other accusation that is often leveled at Bitcoin, and crypto in general, is that the government can simply “turn it off”. This is entirely false – preventing this has always been one of the industry’s major drivers. The only way for the government to “turn off” crypto, or to block you from accessing it, is to completely shut down the internet. Even then, assuming you didn’t make Crypto Mistake Number One and fail to put your crypto in a wallet, <strong>you will still own and have access to your entire portfolio.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you <a href=\"https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/\">put your crypto in an offline paper wallet</a>, you can even trade it the same way you would trade physical currency. Granted, if the internet was completely offline then nobody would be able to verify that the paper wallet was indeed loaded with the amount of crypto you said it had, but there are ways around that issue and your assets would be secured either way. Most people who have been in crypto for a long time hold much of their assets in paper wallets.\r\n\r\nRegardless, all of these issues have arisen because Bitcoin itself was intentionally crippled. If that hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t even be reading this because the questions surrounding Bitcoin’s usefulness by and large wouldn’t exist. Similarly, all the problems with the various tokens that have been built on top of various blockchains mostly come from the fact that they’re built on flawed blockchains. Had BTC been allowed to persist in its original form, most of these tokens that address niche issues would have far fewer issues.\r\n<h2>Why Bitcoin and not one of the many other altcoins?</h2>\r\nUp until now I’ve focused almost entirely on Bitcoin because that’s the one almost everyone who isn’t in the blockchain space things of when they think of crypto. Further, most people attribute all the flaws and accusations towards Bitcoin to all the other projects in the space.\r\n\r\nThere’s some truth to that assertion. The ICO craze of 2017-2018 certainly did the space no favors. Also, many of the alternatives that have proliferated are inherently damaged by their progenitor. They all try to solve niche problems with Bitcoin while keeping the rest of the puzzle intact, without realizing that <a href=\"https://unboundedcapital.com/blog/solana-and-the-quest-for-global-state\">isn’t really possible</a>.\r\n\r\nComputer scientists will nitpick my explanation of “global state” in this context, but in a blockchain context, what is typically meant by global state is the ability for transactions to access the information about any account or smart contract. This is critical for DeFi.\r\n\r\nDeFi is built on the idea that smart contracts can follow one another and execute automatically as things happen within the blockchain ecosystem. This transparency and interactivity is the selling point.\r\n\r\n…\r\n\r\nThe problem is the interdependence of transactions. All of the information needed to process a transaction is not within the transaction itself. One has to reference that transaction against the global state. If a smart contract wants to send ether from you to me, it needs to check that you have the ether. Depending on the ordering of transactions, the results could be totally different. This requirement ultimately demands serial processing of transactions – processing them one after another in the same order by every network operator. Optimizations can be made, but the same problem will always rear its ugly head.\r\n\r\nWhether they envision crypto as a global supercomputer, a censorship-resistant store of value, a fully anonymous peer-to-peer currency, or something else entirely, almost every alternative to Bitcoin focuses on addressing one niche problem created by the crippling of the original Bitcoin protocol. This was why Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) were spun off from BTC – their creators intended to restore what they saw as Bitcoin’s original functionality.\r\n\r\nIt’s important to note that there’s a difference between <em>tokens</em>, which are Layer 2 solutions, and <em>native coins</em>, which are Layer 1 blockchains.\r\n\r\nProjects like Monero (XMR), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Ethereum (ETH) are Layer 1 blockchains like Bitcoin. They run on their own networks. They exist independent of every other crypto asset and would still work even if every other crypto died tomorrow.\r\n\r\nLayer 2 solutions are tokens built on top of the Layer 1 blockchains. Tether (USDT), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Uniswap (UNI), Chainlink (LINK), Basic Attention Token (BAT), and Filecoin (FIL) are all examples of Layer 2 solutions. They are tokens built on top of other blockchains, and as a result they require the user to hold some of the base blockchain token to use them. BAT, for example, is built on ETH. Sending or using BAT requires you to have some ETH in the same wallet address.\r\n\r\nThe Layer 2 solutions address a very different set of issues than the Layer 1 blockchains. Most of the Layer 2 tokens can be deployed on any Layer 1 chain that supports tokens. Most choose Ethereum, but there are many options, and a lot of projects deploy on multiple chains.\r\n\r\nPersonally, it is my belief that there are a series of reckonings coming for the blockchain industry. While most governments have permitted most cryptos to forge ahead, it seems increasingly likely that many authorities will drop a nuke on most alternative projects that are operating on the fringes of “security” status within short order. When that happens, many major projects will vanish quickly or see their valuations plummet. That will be the first reckoning, and probably around 90% of projects will die.\r\n\r\nThe second reckoning will be for projects that aren’t working closely with the authorities in some way. A <strong><em>lot</em></strong> of projects in the cryptocurrency space have a “screw the authorities” mindset, even if they are nominally compliant. It’s pretty inherent in the space, and is one reason the assertion of being a government honeypot often leveled at the entire industry is so amusing.\r\n\r\nRegardless, even though most legitimate projects are run by preppers, libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, and those of similar ideologies, (all of which are <a href=\"https://www.theorganicprepper.com/mainstream-media-parler/\">often targeted</a>) many of them recognize the need to play by the rules lest they get crushed by the government. Those projects, especially the ones built on top of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and their forks, will likely be the only ones that survive the second reckoning which will probably claim another 75% of those which remain.\r\n\r\nEach of these reckonings will push up the value of all remaining projects, but eventually there will probably only be one single Layer 1 chain which survives. The projects built on it will do well, while the others will have to quickly redeploy onto it or die.\r\n\r\nI have a theory as to which blockchain this will be, and it’s not an extremely popular one, but only time will tell. BTC has the momentum and the branding, but when you see blockchain and crypto as a public database rather than a niche solution or a store of value, what blockchains <em>actually are</em> and which one will likely be the last one standing become far clearer.\r\n<h2>What are your thoughts?</h2>\r\nWhat do you think about cryptocurrency?

But what exactly are they? Here, Brave New Coin’s resident ETF expert, Rory Manchee, presents a guide to Bitcoin ETFs suitable for beginners and pros alike.\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Let’s start with the basics, what is Bitcoin and cryptocurrency?</strong></h2>\r\nBitcoin <a title=\"(BTC) \" href=\"https://bravenewcoin.com/data-and-charts/assets/bitcoin\">(BTC) </a>was the first example of a new class of digital asset. It combines cryptography, distributed ledger technology (blockchain) and network consensus to represent programmable value (and a cornerstone of Web 3.0).\r\n\r\nDigital assets such as BTC can be regarded as a store of value (“digital gold”), a currency (in some countries such as El Salvador, BTC is regarded as legal tender), or as a utility coin (such as a software license or membership token). Cryptocurrencies like BTC can also be seen as a commodity, because of their finite supply and fungibility.\r\n<h2><strong>What is a Bitcoin ETF?</strong></h2>\r\nA Bitcoin ETF is one form of exchange-traded product (ETP), which uses a particular investment structure that follows the legal and compliance requirements as set down by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other similar regulatory bodies worldwide. At present, the SEC has only approved BTC ETFs that are backed by Bitcoin futures. There have been several applications (and rejections) for BTC ETFs backed by “physical” or spot BTC, and there is no firm ETA on when the SEC will approve the latter. Meanwhile, Canada has approved several ETFs backed by spot BTC, and a number of other jurisdictions (e.g., Australia, New Zealand) are expected to approve BTC ETFs in the near future.\r\n<h2><strong>Why not just buy Bitcoin?</strong></h2>\r\nBitcoin ETFs are a natural evolution in the growth and development of digital assets. They are attractive to institutional investors (e.g., pension funds, money managers) who may not have the infrastructure to directly hold digital assets, and to retail investors who may not want to set up their own digital wallets or manage their own private keys.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://images.ctfassets.net/sdlntm3tthp6/1HLIDV5k6KAiUAqg0dqtyx/6c165703d4321a25b9fb7f9dc8a154f5/Bitcoin_Vault_-min.jpg?w=600\" alt=\"Bitcoin Vault \" />\r\n\r\n<em>Providing secure custody for Bitcoin is something many institutional and retail investors are not comfortable attempting.</em>\r\n<h2><strong>The US has only allowed futures backed ETFs so far - so what are Bitcoin futures?</strong></h2>\r\nBTC futures are simply a form of derivative contract (similar to FX, commodity and Index futures), which enable investors to hedge their positions in physical or spot BTC. In essence, futures contracts act as a form of insurance policy to protect against (or take advantage of) market conditions.\r\n\r\nHowever, investors may simply prefer to trade futures contracts, rather than buy and sell BTC in the spot markets, as they may not want to bother managing digital wallets and private keys.\r\n\r\nThere are a few variations of BTC futures contracts:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Most are “synthetic” contracts. This means that they settle in cash (usually USD), rather than having to deliver physical BTC to close out their futures position.</li>\r\n 	<li>A few BTC futures are settled physically - these products are typically aimed at institutional investors and prime brokers.</li>\r\n 	<li>BTC futures can be time-based - i.e., their duration may be 1 week, 1 month or 3 months. This means that at the contract expiry, the investor must either settle (close out) their position, or roll the contract over into the next period.</li>\r\n 	<li>Some futures contracts are open-ended, known as perpetual contracts (or “perps”). They are particularly suited to investors who may want to “go long” or “short” the market, without needing to hold physical BTC.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h2><strong>Are there other ETFs tied to cryptocurrencies?</strong></h2>\r\nYes, there are ETFs linked to Ethereum <a title=\"(ETH)\" href=\"https://bravenewcoin.com/data-and-charts/assets/ethereum\">(ETH)</a>. There are also equity-based ETFs that invest in companies active in the Blockchain, BTC and crypto industry.\r\n<h2><strong>How does a Bitcoin ETF work? Does it track the Bitcoin price?</strong></h2>\r\nDepending on the actual structure used, a Bitcoin ETF will either hold “physical” BTC or BTC futures in a trust entity on behalf of its investors (or unit holders). Units in the ETF then trade on an exchange (similar to shares or other ETFs), and investors will typically access the market via a registered broker or approved participant.\r\n\r\nThe ETF does not directly track the BTC price. Instead, the market price of the ETF units will be based on the exchange where it is traded. The NAV (net asset value) of the ETF will be based on the number of BTC held in the fund, multiplied by the prevailing market price of BTC. At times, the NAV (and therefore the unit price) of the fund may be higher or lower than the spot price of BTC.\r\n\r\nSome BTC ETFs use an index to calculate the NAV of the fund (preferably an independent benchmark) that represents a “fair value” of the assets in the fund. Typically, the ETF units will have a real-time or intraday exchange price, and the fund manager will publish a daily, weekly or monthly NAV.\r\n<h2><strong>Why have ETF providers had trouble getting regulatory approval for funds tracking spot Bitcoin?</strong></h2>\r\nThere appears to be three main issues:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Custody:</strong> Institutional-grade custody solutions for BTC and digital assets are not yet widely available, or not at a cost comparable to custody services provided for other ETFs, equities and fixed income instruments. Since ETF providers/managers usually need to have an external trustee and/or custodian, the limited availability of suitable digital asset solutions may be a barrier if the ETF provider cannot satisfy the regulator that they have appropriate arrangements in place.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Nature and oversight of the underlying assets:</strong> The reason the SEC has so far only approved ETFs backed by BTC futures is that these derivatives are already recognised and regulated by the CFTC (Commodities &amp; Futures Trade Commission). So the SEC is probably more comfortable approving an ETF that represents a “known quantity”. Whereas BTC itself does not yet have the same level of universal recognition or regulatory oversight, which introduces a level of uncertainty for the SEC.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Price discovery:</strong> Notwithstanding the number of market data vendors that now offer BTC pricing services, there has been some regulatory concern with the data sources that ETF managers are using to price and value the underlying assets. Traditionally, ETF providers need to demonstrate that they are using appropriate, accurate, consistent, reliable, robust and objective pricing sources that meet industry standards and criteria.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://images.ctfassets.net/sdlntm3tthp6/2fUFqGeCYlFmjxUSzYcFxe/7d5a04baf53d57f3c36e951aa971e0cd/BLX-min.jpg\" alt=\"BLX \" />\r\n\r\n<em>Brave New Coin\'s <a title=\"Bitcoin Liquid Index\" href=\"https://bravenewcoin.com/enterprise-solutions/indices-program/blx\">Bitcoin Liquid Index</a> draws pricing data from a minimum of six trusted exchanges to ensure effective data redundancy and uncompromised Bitcoin price index quality.</em>\r\n<h2><strong>What specific advantages does an investment in Bitcoin through an ETF bring?</strong></h2>\r\nApart from ease of access, a BTC ETF is just another type of a known (and well-established) regulated product, and as such comes with the associated investor protections, safeguards, insurances and disclosure requirements. A BTC ETF may be more secure, less technically complicated, and easier to manage for tax and accounting purposes.\r\n<h2><strong>What are the arguments against investing in Bitcoin through an ETF?</strong></h2>\r\nThe main argument against investing in a BTC ETF is the cost. All ETFs typically attract management and other product fees that may be higher than the costs of holding the underlying assets directly (or the fees end up eroding the asset appreciation).\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, holding the physical assets directly comes with trading and brokerage fees, and possibly custody costs. And retail investors are not able to access the same level of market liquidity or prices that an institutional manager can take advantage of, which should help to offset the managers’ fees that get passed on to ETF unit holders.\r\n\r\nDepending on the ETF structure or strategy, the manager may be able to mitigate price volatility and liquidity - for example, tapping into more efficient liquidity pools, deeper order books and OTC markets than the spot retail exchanges, or using derivatives and other techniques (e.g., staking) to generate additional yield. But this is straying away from the discussion of a ‘plain vanilla’ BTC ETF that holds physical crypto.\r\n\r\nA single asset ETF comprising only BTC is not that difficult to structure, whether it holds physical BTC or BTC futures. In some ways, it is very similar to a gold ETF that is either backed by physical gold deposited in a vault or trades gold futures. So although an equity ETF is often used to provide diversification without having to ‘stock pick’ individual shares, it is not unreasonable to use single asset ETFs. In fact, for many institutional investors who want to diversify into crypto as part of their alternative assets, a BTC ETF may actually be the easiest and most efficient way to gain exposure to this new asset class.\r\n<h2><strong>What other ways are there to get investment exposure to Bitcoin?</strong></h2>\r\nDirect BTC holdings, shares in crypto-related companies, and ETFs that hold crypto-related stocks are all possible ways to get exposure to Bitcoin, and each comes with its own pros and cons. In addition, as mentioned above, investors can trade BTC derivatives if they are comfortable with managing this type of exposure.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://images.ctfassets.net/sdlntm3tthp6/6b85YEmXpg7NwQikxZ4mJZ/5728ec5cacd5e018c46379642f3b64cf/Nvida_Image.jpg\" alt=\"crypto adjacent nvidia\" />\r\n\r\n<em>Publically traded companies like chip makers<a title=\" Nvidia \" href=\"https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/crypto-assets-you-can-mine-from-a-home-computer\"> Nvidia </a>provide crypto \'adjacent\' opportunities for investors.</em>\r\n\r\nAlthough DeFi, crypto staking and lending are dominated by the Ethereum blockchain and ERC 20 assets, it is possible to get exposure via wrapped BTC or other stablecoins. This requires some understanding of DeFi and the associated protocols, but is yet another avenue to access BTC investing.\r\n\r\nFinally, a small but growing number of BTC and crypto products are being launched by traditional brokers, payment providers and mobile banking apps. These solutions offer opportunities ideally suited to retail investors due to lower minimum investment thresholds compared to some ETFs - from trading crypto through your existing equity brokerage account (e.g., Robinhood), to maintaining BTC balances in an existing digital wallet (e.g., PayPal), or allocating part of your savings to BTC funds (e.g., round-up apps like Raiz).\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<strong>About the Author</strong> <a title=\"Rory Manchee\" href=\"https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/contributors/rory-manchee\">Rory Manchee</a> is Head Of Business Development for Brave New Coin\'s Market Data business.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://cryptogrizz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/CRYPTO-FREEDOM.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin ETFs Explained\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" />\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bitcoin ETFs Explained</strong></h3>\r\nBROUGHT TO YOU BY:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://cryptogrizz.com\"><em><strong>CryptoGrizz.com</strong></em></a>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://cryptogrizz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cropped-resized-image-Promo-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin ETFs Explained\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<b> VISIT OUR OTHER SITES:</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Crypto Privacy Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizz.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizz.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Crypto Trading Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizztrader.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzTrader</i>.com</b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Low Cap Altcoin Site:</b> <a href=\"https://cryptogrizzaltcoins.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzAltcoins.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Prepper Site: </b><a href=\"https://preppergrizz.com/\"><b><i>PrepperGrizz.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Global Crypto Survival Site: </b><a href=\"https://globalcryptosurvival.com/\"><b><i>GlobalCryptoSurvival.com</i></b></a>','Bitcoin ETFs Explained','','publish','open','open','','bitcoin-etfs-explained','','','2022-02-14 04:53:16','2022-02-14 04:53:16','',0,'https://cryptogrizz.com/?p=5911',0,'post','',1),(6549,1,'2022-05-12 06:54:17','2022-05-12 06:54:17','<iframe title=\"UST Luna - The Biggest COLLAPSE in Crypto History\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FqW4-FGA9j4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

This happens for a variety of reasons, which we’ll discuss below, but which can mostly be attributed to cryptocurrency’s growing pains. After all, BTC is only ten years old. Those scams don’t diminish the positive power of cryptocurrency or its legitimacy; we still believe that the future of money is one where the people are in charge of their own economy. But they do hinder overall acceptance of cryptocurrency and cause people to second guess whether they should buy Bitcoins at all.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">So how do you protect your investment and ensure that when you buy BTC it stays in your hands? We take a look at why cryptocurrency is so susceptible to scamming, what some of the most common crypto scams are, and how you can avoid being a victim of one.</p><h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why Bitcoin Scams are so prevalent</strong></h2><p dir=\"ltr\">To understand why scams are so rampant in crypto, first let’s take a look at its history. Cryptocurrency developed following the economic crash of 2008, when people began to lose faith in centralized banking systems and started looking for alternatives. BTC was created as a peer-to-peer currency that circumvented both borders and banks; in other words, it was a currency for all. Even more importantly, that lack of centralization—and with it, a lack of regulation—meant that at least in its early days, you could buy Bitcoins anonymously. BTC trading and moving happened on the blockchain, which lived in an entirely separate sphere from the currencies we were used to, and was indicated only by wallet addresses that appeared as strings of letters and numbers. There was no knowing who those wallets belonged to or where the Bitcoins were going.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">This relative anonymity, of course, made crypto incredibly appealing to criminals. It was a great avenue for money laundering and buying goods on the dark web. Of course, as it evolved, seeing more mainstream adoption both by people and businesses, regulations were adopted and the anonymity with which crypto could be bought was largely eliminated. Today it’s nearly impossible to buy BTC anonymously—which is a good thing. Cryptocurrency is seeing large scale adoption by governments, people, and corporations, as more and more people see the value of the blockchain. Yet despite the inability to buy it anonymously, once you get your hands on BTC, you can still trade it fairly anonymously, generating new wallet addresses, and staying off the radar.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">As a result, despite the regulations imposed and the legitimacy of the currency, cryptocurrency is still a favorite of criminals. But that’s not the only reason Bitcoin scams are so widespread. The other reasons have more to do with human nature:</p><h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Most people are trusting</strong></h4><p dir=\"ltr\">There’s a reason for the old joke, “did you know that ‘gullible’ isn’t in the dictionary?” And that’s because people, for the most part, are trusting. We want to believe other people, and believe in the good of mankind. Therefore, when we hear of an opportunity or of someone who wants to help us, we tend to believe it’s true.</p><h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Many people want the easy way out</strong></h4><p dir=\"ltr\">People have always wanted to make fast money. It’s why we’re so ready to believe every get-rich-quick scheme we hear of. After all, what if it’s real and we miss out. In fact, part of the reason Bitcoin climbed so fast in late 2017 was because it looked like a promise of easy money. But that climb was in part based on hype, and scam artists are capitalizing on the hype and promise of easy money by preying on people who want to believe it.</p><h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>People often believe what they don’t understand</strong></h4><p dir=\"ltr\">The system on which cryptocurrency functions is not only new, it’s incredibly complex. Blockchain technology, Bitcoin mining, and cryptocurrency wallets are difficult to understand, and most people aren’t going to bother to learn about them. Instead, they’re going to trust other people when they explain how it works (because they’re trusting) and hope it leads them to fast money (because they want the easy way out).</p><p dir=\"ltr\">Where do the above observations leave us? With a currency whose inner workings aren’t completely understood by most people, and which comes with the promise (albeit often false promise) of easy money, most people are, unfortunately, willing to suspend their disbelief and trust the scam artists who offer to make them rich.</p><h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Bitcoin Scams we see most often</strong></h2><p dir=\"ltr\">Now that you know that Bitcoin scams exist, what scams should you be looking out for when you buy, send, or trade BTC?

This was an incredible exchange of information and insights on our current financial system, concerns and questions about how we navigate as a society while tyranny is coming down in full force, and debates on Bitcoin’s role. Both were in agreement on many aspects, but disagreed on some points, while sharing their thoughts and knowledge with a show of respect for one another and a desire to continue this collaboration further with a common goal for all – achieving individual sovereignty.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Mercola breaks down the story at-a-glance:</strong></p><ul><li>Finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts and Aleks Svetski, editor of Bitcoin Times magazine, discuss the breakdown of our economy and potential solutions</li><li>Svetski believes Bitcoin not only is the answer to economic tyranny, but to individual sovereignty, while Fitts believes central bank control mechanisms are still at play within it</li><li>Fitts argues for building a new economy based on health, cooperation, peace and transparency, and recommends investing in things that will keep you alive</li><li>Svetski argues that in order to build any of the above, we must start with an incorruptible foundation. The “language of value” (money) cannot be owned or issued by any man-made political authority; it must emerge organically as a transparent, voluntary ‘constitution in code’</li><li>A major hurdle is overcoming the globalists’ mind control and propaganda influence. Everyone agreed that this is why people must be educated across multiple dimensions, not just money, but health, individuality, philosophy, ethics, economics and more</li><li>Fitts believes a successful transition requires preventing the control grid from coming into place, and clawing back the money that has been stolen. Since 1998, at least $21 trillion, and perhaps as much as $100 trillion, has been stolen from the U.S. government</li></ul><p>I highly recommend everyone <a href=\"https://www.bitchute.com/video/4GT3RKbwxDZh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">watch this</a> thought-provoking and intriguing discussion, and think about how we can all collaborate together to create and build systems that will ensure our freedom and independence from the control grid the globalists want to lock us into.

right this is targeting new00:04users but if you\'ve been trading for00:05less than a year and you don\'t00:07understand this stuff00:09uh it\'s about time so number one market00:12cap that determines the value of a coin00:15and not coin price because if it has a00:18very low coin price what if the coin00:20supply is in the trillions in00:22quadrillions that means it\'s not as00:25valuable as a coin with a smaller supply00:27in the millions in billions range so00:29we\'ll get into that a little more later00:32number two don\'t trade invest it\'s a lot00:35easier to be a crypto investor than a00:38trader if you\'re new to the whole crypto00:41scene and investing anyway00:43the chances of you becoming a very good00:45trader right off the bat are very low00:48and it\'s really gambling on you guessing00:50when the price is high or low with a00:52very little information or experience in00:55trading so invest that\'s a lot easier00:58number three everything has fees yes01:01every platform has fees including01:04robinhood etoro voyager everything has a01:08fee because there\'s fees for trading01:11there\'s a spread there\'s withdrawal fees01:14there\'s gas fees and we\'ll get into that01:16number four staking staking allows you01:19to earn crypto passive income for having01:21that coin so let\'s say you have bitcoin01:24you can kind of stake it on some passive01:27income platforms and then you earn more01:28bitcoin but that one isn\'t exactly01:30staking01:31but you can do that for ethereum and a01:34lot of other coins which we\'ll get into01:37as well and finding these things is01:39really just a google search and then a01:40quick check to make sure it\'s actually a01:42safe platform01:44and number five scams everyone\'s been01:46scammed in crypto especially if you\'ve01:49gone off the main exchanges and you\'ve01:52ventured into decentralized finance with01:54managing your own wallet trying to be01:56early in investing i\'ve made that01:59mistake several times so i\'ve learned my02:01lesson to the point where i minimize my02:03risk and we\'ll talk about a couple02:05different scams that will happen in02:08cryptocurrency but before we get started02:10if you can hit that like button i would02:12appreciate it so we are going to start02:14off with market cap and we\'re going to02:16go to coin market cap so this will tell02:19you the value of the coin in the market02:23cap section so you have your coin price02:26and then your circulating supply and02:28that helps you determine the coin\'s02:29value you\'re going to see all these02:31different coins with a price of let\'s02:33say 1.91 109 41 214 595 coin price02:40doesn\'t matter market cap matters so02:44market cap essentially is the total02:46value of that coin with bitcoin for02:49example each coin is 59 00002:52there is a 18.8 million circulating02:54supply02:55it\'s actually going to be a max supply02:57of 21 million but we\'re going to go off02:59circulating supply you multiply the 18.803:02million by the coin price and then you03:05have your market cap so for bitcoin to03:08double03:091.12 trillion dollars would have to be03:12invested into it for you to see a 10003:15gain and if you saw a 1.12 trillion03:19dollar investment in a coin that is a03:22one billion dollar market cap let\'s say03:25anything in the one billion dollar range03:27right here uh not endorsing these i\'m03:30just saying if 1.12 trillion dollars03:33went into a coin with a 1 billion dollar03:36market cap your investment would gain by03:381 120 times now03:42very unlikely for that to happen on any03:43of these smaller coins because it always03:45depends on the demand for the coin the03:48utility and most importantly the03:50marketing marketing actually plays a big03:52factor in a lot of these coins when03:54you\'re investing in mean coins like doge03:58or shiba they heavily rely on marketing04:00rather than people needing the coin to04:02use their services or platform which is04:05why we see a lot of the top coins like04:08bnb ethereum solana cardano04:12polka dot these are ecosystem tokens04:15that run smart contracts and you need04:17this coin to run things within their04:20network so they create the demand and04:22apparently these coins can go up04:24significantly in price as people want to04:26be a part of that ecosystem they want to04:29use things they want to build things and04:31they need that coin to be a part of it04:33so they create a need rather than04:35marketing and for the most part04:37marketing does work well but there is a04:39limit on how high something can go and04:41if you are going to invest in dog coins04:43just know anyone can make a dog coin and04:46there are a lot of them uh coin market04:48cap doesn\'t track all of them but04:51there\'s a lot and these are just coins04:54that registered with coin market cap04:57i think there\'s like over 160 and these05:00are just the dog related ones there\'s05:02also other animals so05:05it\'s05:06a very high risk thing if you want to05:08invest in meme tokens utility tokens05:11create more demand and build in the long05:14term which is something you want to see05:16whereas a lot of these05:18meme coins might only be available for a05:21month or two and then just run off with05:23all your money so there is a lot of risk05:26when investing in animal related coins05:29that have no05:30utility utility just means purpose is05:33there a purpose why you need this coin05:34or you just like the picture of the05:36animal it\'s up to you you can make money05:39either way but there is a lot more risk05:41investing in these meme coins than coins05:43with utility number two don\'t trade05:46invest now you\'re going to want to start05:48trading because like oh buy sell limit05:51order market order stop loss you\'re just05:53gonna kind of have fun with it05:55especially if it\'s new to you i05:58certainly did i did a lot of trading and06:00i was making judgments based on a couple06:02videos i watched on technical analysis06:06where i was just06:08trying to be smarter than the market06:11in the long run06:13it just makes more sense to invest and06:15just hold the coin because06:18no one can really predict whether the06:19coin will go up or down technical06:21analysis works to a small extent because06:24the markets are volatile you can just06:27have the price jackknife and then your06:29stop loss activates that then you have06:30to buy back in at a higher price that06:32happened to me many times so i don\'t use06:35stop losses i invest in things i believe06:37in over a long period of time and if you06:41are new to crypto trading you know take06:44your time and understand the fees06:46because there are a lot of fees when06:48trading and you have to do better than06:51those fees to make that trade worth it06:53which is why number three06:56fees everything has fees let\'s say06:59you\'re trading on coinbase if you\'re on07:01coinbase the regular site it has a 1.507:04trading fee if you\'re on their more07:06professional trading site coinbase pro07:08they have a 0.5 percent trading fee and07:12that means if you\'re buying and selling07:14you\'re trying to predict if the coin is07:15going up or down uh it doesn\'t really07:18matter if the coin price moves a small07:20amount it really matters if your trades07:23make more than that trading fee so each07:25trade has to make 0.5 or more just to07:28outweigh that fee which means if you are07:31going to buy and sell you know buy low07:34sell high you need to make a profit of07:36at least one percent to07:39outweigh that trading fee because it\'s07:410.5 to buy 0.5 to sell you need at least07:45one percent to outweigh that fee now07:48every platform has a different fee07:50whether it\'s for the trading fees or the07:53spread a lot of the more professional07:55platforms that are in exchange they are07:57going to have trading fees and they can08:00range for much different prices i08:03personally use the lowest fee ones08:05finance kucoin and pionect\'s pioneer08:08sponsors of this channel and i would08:10recommend them there will be a referral08:12link in the description because they08:14have the lowest trading fees at 0.0508:17percent they are a broker for finance08:19which means if you\'re from the us and08:21you\'re worried about kyc they don\'t08:24really do kyc and you can access all the08:27quality coins on finance because if you08:30are trading and you are a new trader you08:32are looking for coins to buy08:34it makes sense to stay on the big08:36platforms like coinbase and binance08:38because they thoroughly vet the coins08:41being listed there and the chances of08:43you getting scammed are very low08:45more about the fees08:47there are a lot of fees when trading so08:50we talked about trading fees there\'s08:52also fees built into the spread you\'re08:54gonna see that on platforms like voyager08:57etoro and robinhood which we\'ll take a09:00look at here\'s some screenshots of the09:02buy price and sell price when looking at09:05robinhood each of these fees are more09:07than zero point one percent so you are09:09paying more in fees than you would be on09:12finance kucoin and pionics but of course09:16there\'s also a trading spread you want09:18to make sure that the trading spread is09:21very low so you\'re not paying a premium09:24what really matters is how much coins09:26are you getting for your money you have09:28a thousand dollars you want to get as09:30close to a thousand dollars worth of09:32coins as possible then there\'s09:34withdrawal fees every platform has09:37withdrawal fees and it also depends on09:39the network if you\'re on one of the09:42major us exchanges in platforms a lot of09:45them operate on ethereum on the erc2009:48network so you are going to be paying09:51much more in fees if you\'re doing any09:53transfers on that network where fees can09:56be anywhere from 20 to 3509:59sometimes even higher in times of high10:02volatility and high network use so if10:06you actually want to see what those gas10:07fees look like we can take a look so10:10this is etherscan.io10:12and this is the gas tracker and you can10:14see to move an erc20 token at the moment10:17so this is this time now it\'s going to10:19be very different when you see it it\'s10:22going to cost at least 23 to 25 dollars10:24worth of gas using una swap will cost10:27between 71 to 78 dollars removing or10:31adding liquidity 62 to 6810:34now cast fees will fluctuate if you are10:37operating from your own personal wallet10:40especially on the erc20 network these10:42are the fees you\'re going to be10:44responsible for and a lot of people new10:46to crypto investing don\'t understand10:48that they have to pay these gas fees you10:51need ether in your account to operate10:53things if you\'re withdrawing a coin like10:55ship to your personal wallet10:57and you don\'t have any eath in your10:59wallet you\'re going to have that ship in11:01your wallet but you can\'t take it out11:02because you need as gas to fund that11:05transaction so for the most part11:08operating on a centralized exchange for11:11a new user is great sure you\'re not11:14responsible for your coins too11:17a lot of people say not your keys not11:18your crypto but if you are a new user11:21and you\'re not familiar with any of this11:23your crypto is significantly safer on a11:27centralized exchange i know people are11:29going to say otherwise but11:32new users11:33not that responsible and11:36learning the intricacies of the fees and11:38moving things around and staying safe is11:41something that you learn over time and11:43not something you can pick up11:44immediately as a new user and as for gas11:47fees it always depends on the network11:50ethereum is going to be high it\'s going11:52to be much cheaper on finance smart11:54chain salana11:57polka dot any of the other networks are11:59going to be significantly cheaper so12:02understand where you\'re moving coins12:04what you\'re using and what are your12:06options i recommend to a lot of people12:09trying to move their coins off coinbase12:11to something like pionx or kucoin or any12:14other type of platform to buy litecoin12:18make that transfer because it\'s going to12:20be less than a penny to withdraw from12:22coinbase and then you trade that12:24litecoin for usdt or whatever you want12:28on that platform you just move those12:29coins to something like litecoin has low12:32fees and it\'s supported everywhere and i12:34kind of use it as a way to move money12:37around especially in small amounts now12:40if you\'re transferring like 10 000 worth12:43of coins or even more than that12:45those trading fees are going to outweigh12:48that savings and gas and it makes sense12:50to just pay that gas fee for people12:52trading less than ten thousand dollars12:54i\'m talking about a thousand dollars or12:56less and you want to save those gas fees12:58because it\'s going to be a hit to your12:59account it does make sense to have this13:02intermediary coin with low network fees13:05to make those transfers so13:07that sounded confusing even i heard what13:09i said13:10but13:11uh the key to this is understanding what13:13the gas fees are and what options you13:15have to make trades at lower rates and13:18get full value13:20number four staking all right this video13:22got way too long because there\'s a lot13:24of stuff on fees but staking is one of13:27the easiest ways for you to earn crypto13:29passive income for holding your coins a13:32lot of coins will offer staking rewards13:35or something similar13:38i\'ve covered that in multiple videos and13:40i will have a playlist at the end of13:42this video uh explaining all the13:44different places where you can get13:46crypto passive income at least for the13:48topics i\'ve already covered feel free to13:51let me know in the comments if there is13:53a specific platform you want covered um13:56if it\'s big enough13:57i\'ll cover it if it\'s like a really13:59small platform and a small coin but14:01wants attention i\'m gonna skip it so14:04with staking there are a lot of14:06different places uh i really like14:08binance.com if you\'re eligible for that14:11because you can do staking within their14:13exchange you can also do staking on14:16kucoin it does have less options and if14:19you are going to stick your coins look14:21up the name of your coin and staking in14:23google and then see what your staking14:26options are because just by holding that14:29coin within a certain platform you can14:31see massive rewards especially if you\'re14:34long-term you understand what they\'re14:36doing you you love their community and14:38you see them continuously building that14:41is a great coin to stake and hold long14:43term for me personally i\'m staking a lot14:46of different coins in a lot of different14:47places but there\'s none i necessarily14:50want to recommend because maybe it\'s14:52going to be a short-term trade maybe14:54it\'s something with a small market cap14:55that i don\'t want to reveal because i14:57don\'t want to have people uh buy that15:00coin without understanding what it is so15:04if you\'re in my discord which i\'ll leave15:07a link in the description or if i forget15:09there you\'ll you\'ll see what the link is15:11in at the end of the video and you can15:14join the discord i do talk about some of15:16these things and why and i do tell you15:18that hey this is high risk but i\'m going15:21for it and number five scams15:23i don\'t like recommending coins because15:26i have influence and a lot of youtubers15:29do and not everyone is honest about when15:32a video is sponsored i recommend not15:35trusting anyone and just researching it15:37for yourself i try to give a lot of deep15:39dive information otherwise i just don\'t15:42give that information because uh it is a15:44lot of work to do i might just make some15:46shorter videos about why some of my15:48investments did well or not but there15:51are a lot of scams in crypto anyone can15:53make a coin i\'ve made several videos on15:55that but yes you can make a coin very15:58quickly15:59if you\'re new to cryptocurrency just16:01stay on the big exchanges especially16:03when you\'re managing your own coins your16:05meta mask that your personal wallet can16:07be compromised your wallets within your16:09phone can be compromised your copy and16:12paste function within your computer can16:14be compromised there are so many16:16different ways to be scammed or hacked16:18that very likely within your first year16:21of crypto trading you are going to be16:23scammed that\'s happened to me that\'s16:25happened to a lot of people i know and16:27from that you learn to be more cautious16:29i\'ve heard a lot of stories personally16:32from people that were reaching out to me16:34for help about how to uh get unscammed16:36and get their money back but for the16:39most part within cryptocurrency there\'s16:41it\'s unregulated once that money\'s gone16:44it\'s gone so i know that\'s not detailed16:46advice on how to not get scammed but the16:49safest thing you can do if you are a new16:52crypto trader is to16:53slowly and use a small amount of funds16:57to get comfortable with decentralized16:59finance managing your wallet restoring17:02your wallet saving things before putting17:04a significant amount of money into it17:07because you should be investing money17:09you can afford to lose because crypto is17:11very volatile if you\'re just comfortable17:13trading and just keeping things simple17:16stay on the big exchanges they are safer17:19i know some people might say otherwise17:21but if you are a new user and you\'re17:23really bad at managing passwords or17:25keeping your computer secure you\'re17:27gonna be a lot better off on a17:29centralized exchange and just big ones17:32i\'m talking about the the big exchanges17:35coinbase finance17:37gemini any of those platforms that are17:40secure they\'re insured and they provide17:43coin custody services and with that i17:45hope you learned a lot and you hit that17:47like button that helps me out this was a17:49pretty casual video just because there17:51were a couple topics i wanted to share17:52because a lot of people keep asking me17:54this and i\'m just gonna point them to17:56this video so with that i hope you got17:59your full value for today18:06  ','5 Things To Know When

fix it,00:05then let\'s just say the internet may not be around for long.00:20The internet is the greatest technological revolution00:22we\'ve seen since the creation of the vacuum tube in 1904.00:28This little guy is what made electronics as we know them today possible.00:33It allowed humans to communicate in a way that we could have never possibly anticipated.00:43Back in the 1960s,00:45a bunch of real nerds with actual pocket protectors00:48create a communications network where computers could speak to one another00:53through phone lines.00:55Much later, this network would become a public internet or a WorldWideWeb.01:01And that occurred 30 years ago this year.01:05On August 6, 1991,01:08Tim Berners-Lee created a post on a Usenet group announcing this concept of a WorldWideWeb.01:15And that\'s when things really took off and innovation went parabolic.01:21Humanity started seeing the potential of all these connections.01:25Connections with thousands of servers multiplied by thousands more servers01:30multiplied by thousands of computers eventually created an internet.01:36And we got really good at making these connections.01:40This is because the core instructions of the internet, its protocols, were open source.01:45You see, the internet was born to be decentralized.01:49Anyone with a computer and a phone line01:52can connect to someone else with a computer and phone line01:54and trade zeros and ones.01:58The potential of connection is so simple but, at the same time, incredibly strong.02:05The beauty of the internet, the thing that allowed it to grow,02:08is the ability to make instant connections.02:12Information can be exchanged as soon as a connection is made,02:16so the bigger and better we make those connections,02:19the faster the internet will become.02:25So 30 years later, we have an internet so fast, so connected, so pervasive,02:30that we can do things that weren\'t even possible just two years ago.02:34The high watermark of communications in the 90s was video conferencing.02:41Today, it\'s so common02:43that it\'s almost become the standard way that we do a doctor\'s visit.02:48The special sauce of the internet,02:50its instantaneousness,02:52has also become its biggest flaw.02:55The internet was not built to last.02:58It was built to connect.03:00That\'s it.03:01There\'s nothing permanent about the internet.03:04And that\'s starting to become a big problem.03:09We think of the internet as long connections that are untouchable by most people.03:13Private.03:15The websites and apps we use are colorful and welcoming.03:18It\'s high-tech, modern, progressive.03:21We think the guts of the internet,03:23servers, data centers and cables,03:25are tucked away, left alone like monks on a mountain to quietly do their work03:30and only every once in a while, need a refresh or a reboot.03:36But the truth is,03:38the internet has a problem that experts have known about for decades.03:43And if we\'re not careful,03:44it could bring the entire internet down03:47and affect history as we know it.04:07This is War and Peace.04:10It\'s a large book written by a Russian man.04:14And it\'s mostly depressing.04:15Today, this book is available on eReaders.04:19And a lot of people have purchased it that way.04:22But one day,04:24War and Peace fans notice something very peculiar about the book.04:33When the flame of the sulfur splinters Nookd by the tinder burned up,04:38first blue and then red,04:39Shcherbinin lit the tallow candle.04:42Beautiful, isn\'t it?04:45There\'s only one problem.04:46How are splinters Nookd?04:49They aren\'t.04:51They\'re kindled.04:53Customers who bought the War and Peace eBook through Barnes and Noble\'s eReader, the Nook,04:58discovered this, and they complained.05:01Come to find out, an algorithm created by the Barnes and Noble marketing team went rogue05:07and replaced the word \"kindle,\" the name of Amazon\'s eReader,05:12with the name of their own eReader,05:14Nook.05:15Funny, isn\'t it?05:16No one accepted blame,05:18and there was no record to try to track down.05:22Everything in the eBook world is centralized and controlled by mega corporations,05:29corporations that can control and manipulate the stories05:34that have affected and shaped our society and culture.05:38This is a legal opinion from Judge Samuel Alito05:43from a case in 2011.05:45In this opinion, Judge Alito did whatever everyone did.05:50He cited a source and linked to it.05:53But in this opinion,05:55the owners of the page that he linked to changed the website06:00to display a 404 message that read06:03Aren\'t you glad you didn\'t cite this webpage06:06like Justice Alito did06:08This is still in the Library of Congress,06:11and it hasn\'t been fixed yet.06:13It\'s a matter of United States law.06:16And this is just the tip of the iceberg.06:19According to a report by Harvard Law School,06:2249% of all links in United States Supreme Court opinions are dead or have drifted to different content.06:31And this is not just concentrated to the Supreme Court.06:35home deeds06:37medical research06:38scientific journals06:40hospital records06:41government records06:45Our photo and video memories are on a server, SD card or hard drive.06:51Some of you watching this video have never even physically held a picture that you\'ve taken.06:59If you lose your phone,07:00no problem.07:02It\'s all backed up somewhere, right?07:04All of our digital memories,07:06photos, music, videos,07:10they require electricity to survive,07:13and without it,07:14well, they cease to exist.07:17But servers go down,07:19bits can flip,07:20and faulty hard drives can corrupt every memory that you thought that you had,07:27making them little more than, well, a memory.07:36The average lifespan of a hard drive is around four years old.07:40For an enterprise level solid-state drive,07:4410 years.07:45Compare that to film, photos and vinyl records.07:49Over 100 years, if stored properly.07:59The problem is called link rot.08:01And it\'s been eating away at the foundations of the internet for the past 25 years.08:07Links are the backbone of the internet08:10that would allow us to go from one webpage to the next08:12without typing in a complicated and exact URL address.08:16Without hyperlinks,08:17the internet is slow and clumsy.08:21But it\'s not just link rot.08:23It\'s the fact that changes on the internet can happen.08:26And the only record of those changes, if there even is one, is located on a server08:31that only a few have access to.08:33It\'s like building a massive structure and then leaving it open to the elements.08:38Our data is rotting away faster than we can possibly back it up.08:44Centralized powers and Silicon Valley are editing, censoring and banning protected speech.08:51News outlets are rewriting articles under the radar,08:55something called ninja editing,08:57to save face, get out of a lie, or to change history to fit the present narrative.09:03How can we learn from the past09:05if history has been rewritten a thousand times behind an opaque curtain?09:11What happens if the government need some land and your house is on that property?09:16Edit the record.09:18What happens if a political candidate make some comments09:21that suddenly now are deemed unsavory?09:24Edit the record.09:25But it only gets darker from here.09:29What if the photos from your newborn baby\'s first bath are crawled by an algorithm09:34searching for child porn and delete it and your flagged by the FBI?09:38Your Apple ID is placed on a watch list.09:41Suddenly, you\'re banned from air travel.09:44Charges are pressed.09:46Your name and face are placed on a list of sex offenders.09:50And you have no recourse because the string of events09:54that led to your photos getting flagged and deleted09:57are locked up behind a centralized system.10:00These things are happening now and will only get worse.10:06If only there was a technology that was open, searchable, resistant to change,10:11and extremely difficult to hack.10:26Blockchain won\'t fix the internet or history,10:30but it can make it more honest by making it more transparent and more decentralized.10:37A court decision can be placed in a database that runs on Cardano10:42where it\'s logged and verified by thousands of nodes,10:46and any changes that occur will be recorded forever on the ledger.10:51Public voting can be done on a blockchain with no possibility that errors go unnoticed.10:58Your medical data can be placed into a record system that runs on Ethereum11:03where you can completely control who has access to what.11:08Your photos, music and videos can be backed up by a storage-based blockchain11:14where thousands of users back up your data at the same time.11:19A presidential news conference can have an embedded blockchain string11:23woven into the video feed that verifies its integrity.11:27This means no deepfakes and no Photoshop.11:31The internet is not meant to be locked up behind a wall controlled only by a few.11:38It needs constant care.11:40Blockchain is always moving, perpetually upgraded in one long chain that lasts forever.11:47It\'s not just the future of finance.11:50It\'s the next evolution of technology that will democratize our future and our

crypto-currency?</strong></a></h2>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://www.americanthinker.com/author/sprucefontaine/\" data-author=\"Spruce Fontaine\">Spruce Fontaine</a>\r\n\r\nIn an <a href=\"http://article%20at%20bitcoin.com%20by%20wendy%20mac/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article</a> by Wendy McElroy from <a href=\"http://bitcoin.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bitcoin.com</a> in 2017, Ms. McElroy took on the hazards of a digital currency issued by the U.S. government.  Back then, it was referred to as Fedcoin.  The subject has been on the down-low, but the recent executive order by President Biden to study the creation of a U.S. government cryptocurrency brings the subject to the forefront, as a recent <a href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/crypto/us-government-digital-currency-rcna19248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC news article</a> reports.\r\n<blockquote>The <a href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden administration</a> is putting its support behind the research and development of a \"U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency,\" or CBDC.\r\n\r\nThe move is part of a sweeping executive order President Joe Biden signed Wednesday instructing the federal government to explore possible uses of and regulations for <a href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/investors-fear-crypto-winter-coming-rcna13444\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital assets like cryptocurrencies</a>.</blockquote>\r\nMost people regard cash as slightly cumbersome.  I often take note of people\'s choice of payment options at convenience stores and drive-thru windows.  Most prefer plastic.  It is speedy, purse space–efficient, and tight-budget flexible.\r\n\r\nCan the government be sufficiently persuasive to motivate people to give up cash to a rectangle made of official government plastic?  I admit that I have assumed that a transition to plastic currency would fulfill the predictions of futurists and sci-fi writers.  With the invention of block-chain, it struck me as inevitable.\r\n\r\nSuch an inevitability now seems frightening against the backdrop of a cancel culture and the Edward Snowden realities of everyone\'s private internet and cell phone communications being stored on NSA server farms.  Trudeau cutting off the bank accounts of Canada\'s protesting truckers was the final nail in the coffin for me to oppose a cashless future with only plastic <em>Fed-coin-</em>type card.\r\n\r\nMonetary guru Doug Casey and Wendy McElroy also <a href=\"http://why%20would%20people%20use%20the%20cryptocurrency/?%20Fedcoin%20would%20almost%20certainly%20emerge%20as%20a%20parallel%20currency%20which%20would%20be%20adopted%20due%20to%20government%20requirements%20for%20its%20use%20in%20paying%20taxes%20or%20accessing%20entitlements%20such%20as%20Social%20Security.%20Increasingly,%20however,%20Fedcoin%20would%20become%20a%20tool%20to%20push%20toward%20a%20cashless%20society%20because%20physical%20money%20provides%20a%20privacy%20that%20prevents%20government%20control.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">answer</a> the how and why of a government, bitcoin-style currency.\r\n<blockquote>Why would people use the cryptocurrency? Fedcoin would almost certainly emerge as a parallel currency which would be adopted due to government requirements for its use in paying taxes or accessing entitlements such as Social Security. Increasingly, however, Fedcoin would become a tool to push toward a cashless society because physical money provides a privacy that prevents government control.</blockquote>\r\nThe God-like power to control and cancel personal bank account transactions is the stuff of serious totalitarian control.\r\n\r\nWith cash replaced by a Fedcoin, the government could <em>ctrl/alt/delete</em> one\'s ability to spend or generally function until the person got vaccinated, for example.  Because of government access to every financial transaction, it could fight obesity by limiting one\'s Snickers Blizzard purchases.\r\n\r\nThe government keeping track of ice cream treats might seem a bit over the top.  Don\'t forget that banks now must report transactions over six hundred dollars.  Government didn\'t used to care, but it does now.\r\n\r\nCryptocurrency uses the high-profile moniker \"block-chain,\" a system of verification algorithms.  Each Bitcoin transaction has a permanent ID tag — in computer lingo, a \"nonce,\" a genesis reference that acts as an authenticator, creating a non-changeable transaction history. Thus, it does not permit falsification by a bad actor.  Block-chain is decentralized, so no one entity has majority control over the transaction history to fraudulently change it.  A U.S. central bank digital currency could change that.\r\n\r\nFinancial writer J.P. Koning <a href=\"http://jpkoning.blogspot.com/2014/10/fedcoin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">speculated</a> in an article entitled \"Fedcoin.\"\r\n\r\n<em>The Fed would create a new blockchain. ... There would be an important difference between Fedcoin and more traditional cryptoledgers. One user — the Fed — would get special authority to create and destroy ledger entries[.]\"</em>\r\n\r\nThe government could become the bad actor precisely because of its majority control over the block-chain ledger history.  The ledger would go from being decentralized to centralized .  With that comes the ability to program and reprogram, putting your financial privacy and independence in jeopardy.  Of course, the government would promise not to do that.\r\n\r\nOnce a society goes cashless, a socialist, ever-voracious government with the crypto-algorithmic keys to control an individual American\'s financial assets is a most frightening prospect.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Spruce Fontaine is an artist and retired college art instructor.</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2022-04/237318_5_.jpg\" alt=\"Do You Really Want Government Cryptocurrency\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" />\r\n\r\n<em>Image via <a href=\"https://pixabay.com/illustrations/bitcoin-coin-finance-business-gold-2348236/\">Pixabay</a>.</em>\r\n<h3><b>PRIMEXBT</b></h3>\r\n<b>[the_ad id=\"5947\"]</b>\r\n\r\n<b>PROFIT FROM THE COMING STOCK MARKET MELTDOWN BY USING PRIMEXBT TO SHORT THE NASDAQ AND S&amp;P 500 USING LEVERAGE</b>\r\n\r\n<b>GO HERE: </b><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://preppergrizz.com/profit-from-coming-stock-market-meltdown/\"><b><i>Profit From Stock Market Meltdown</i></b></a>\r\n<h3><strong>Do You Really Want Government Cryptocurrency</strong></h3>\r\nBROUGHT TO YOU BY:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://cryptogrizz.com\"><em><strong>CryptoGrizz.com</strong></em></a>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://cryptogrizz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Crypto-Grizz_adobespark-300x300.png\" alt=\"Do You Really Want Government Cryptocurrency\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n<h3><b>VISIT OUR OTHER SITES:</b></h3>\r\n<b>Check Out Our Crypto Privacy Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizz.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizz.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Crypto Trading Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizztrader.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzTrader</i>.com</b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Low Cap Altcoin Site:</b> <a href=\"https://cryptogrizzaltcoins.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzAltcoins.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Prepper Site: </b><a href=\"https://preppergrizz.com/\"><b><i>PrepperGrizz.com</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Prepper Survival Site: </b><a href=\"https://preppersurvival.org/\"><b><i>PrepperSurvival.org</i></b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Check Out Our Global Crypto Survival Site: </b><a href=\"https://globalcryptosurvival.com/\"><b><i>GlobalCryptoSurvival.com</i></b></a>','Do You Really Want Government Cryptocurrency','','publish','open','open','','do-you-really-want-government-cryptocurrency','','\nhttps://preppergrizz.com/profit-from-coming-stock-market-meltdown/','2022-05-07 06:40:13','2022-05-07 06:40:13','',0,'https://cryptogrizz.com/?p=6243',0,'post','',1),(6211,1,'2022-04-17 02:20:05','2022-04-17 02:20:05','<h2>Why Is US Government Promoting Ukraine War</h2>\r\n<h3>History Shows It\'s Always About The Money</h3>\r\nA different insight on the Ukraine war that you won\'t find in the highly propagandized Mainstream Media.

Yet, as some of us have for months insisted would be the case, no invasion has transpired, nor, I believe, is one likely.\r\n\r\nMoscow, which has <a href=\"https://www.rt.com/russia/549410-western-war-propaganda-failed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced</a> that its troops are pulling back from Russia’s border with Ukraine, has consistently denied that it has any intention of invading. But Washington, with its repeated accusations regarding an imminent false-flag incident, to its stationing of troops in Eastern Europe, has appeared desperate to goad Russia into making such a move. The more Russia’s President Vladimir Putin refuses to take the bait, the greater the despair in Washington.\r\n\r\nWhy is Washington – and by extension NATO and the EU – so obsessed with Ukraine? What is it that they hope to achieve? Once one understands the mechanism by which Washington derives its real power, its actions in relation to Russia become easier to understand.\r\n\r\nLet’s put aside all the bluster Washington spews regarding human rights, democracy and sovereignty, because these are just issues which it uses as cover and which it routinely disregards itself in order to achieve its aims. What is it that Washington really wants?\r\n\r\nIt wants to conflate and stoke the Ukraine issue in order to contain Russia. Why does it want to contain Russia? Well, Washington derives its global power through its control of the US dollar, also known as the world’s reserve currency. This special status enables Washington to amass obscene deficits that do not in any way reflect America’s true productive capacity.\r\n\r\nThe US dollar has been utterly dominant as the currency used for international trade since it replaced sterling in the 1920s. Commodities such as oil, gold, base metals and agricultural products are priced in, and paid for, in dollars. This created large worldwide demand for the greenback, adding massive value to its worth, and created strong demand for US Treasuries. All this enables the American federal government to print dollars by the trillions, borrow without limit, and spend with abandon.\r\n\r\nThe dominance of the dollar has afforded America great global power, but it is now under threat as never before as Russia, China and others economically challenge the US. Many are now seeking to ditch their dependence on the dollar as Washington has continued to abuse it’s status as issuer of the world’s reserve currency over the decades.\r\n\r\nRussia and China have, in particular, drastically cut their use of the dollar. In 2015, around 90% of their bilateral transactions were conducted in dollars. But since the start of the US-China trade war, that’s fallen to 46% and is rapidly declining further. Even US allies and partners, like Turkey and India, have begun trading in their respective national currencies when it suits them. Countries are questioning why US financial institutions should serve as the intermediaries for international banking.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.rt.com/news/549349-china-world-financial-center/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <picture> <source srcset=\" https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg 560w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xs/620a970f85f540048910919a.jpg 640w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/thumbnail/620a970f85f5400489109198.jpg 920w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/m/620a971085f540048910919b.jpg 1080w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/l/620a971085f540048910919c.jpg 1536w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/article/620a970f85f5400489109197.jpg 1960w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxl/620a971085f540048910919d.jpg 2480w \" media=\"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\" sizes=\"330px\" data-srcset=\" https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg 560w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xs/620a970f85f540048910919a.jpg 640w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/thumbnail/620a970f85f5400489109198.jpg 920w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/m/620a971085f540048910919b.jpg 1080w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/l/620a971085f540048910919c.jpg 1536w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/article/620a970f85f5400489109197.jpg 1960w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxl/620a971085f540048910919d.jpg 2480w \" /> <source srcset=\" https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg 280w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xs/620a970f85f540048910919a.jpg 320w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/thumbnail/620a970f85f5400489109198.jpg 460w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/m/620a971085f540048910919b.jpg 540w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/l/620a971085f540048910919c.jpg 768w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/article/620a970f85f5400489109197.jpg 980w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxl/620a971085f540048910919d.jpg 1240w \" sizes=\"330px\" data-srcset=\" https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg 280w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xs/620a970f85f540048910919a.jpg 320w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/thumbnail/620a970f85f5400489109198.jpg 460w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/m/620a971085f540048910919b.jpg 540w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/l/620a971085f540048910919c.jpg 768w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/article/620a970f85f5400489109197.jpg 980w, https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxl/620a971085f540048910919d.jpg 1240w \" /> <img src=\"https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg\" sizes=\"330px\" alt=\"Why China is on track to replace the US as the world’s financial center\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https://cdni.russiatoday.com/files/2022.02/xxs/620a970f85f5400489109199.jpg\" /> </picture></a>\r\n\r\nRead more\r\n\r\nWhy China is on track to replace the US as the world’s financial center\r\n\r\nBeijing is actively <a href=\"https://www.ft.com/content/408d4065-f66d-4368-9095-c6a8743b0d01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">encouraging</a> the use of its currency, the renminbi, in trade transactions, especially under its massive Belt and Road Initiative. With China recovering more strongly than the other big economies from Covid-19, foreign capital has been flooding in, too, as Beijing opens its financial markets.\r\n\r\nAlexey Maslov, director of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, has <a href=\"https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/China-and-Russia-ditch-dollar-in-move-toward-financial-alliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told</a> The Nikkei Asian Review that the Russia-China “dedollarization\" was approaching a “breakthrough moment” that could elevate their relationship to a de-facto alliance.\r\n\r\nThis alliance, and its threat to the supremacy of the dollar, deeply worries Washington. <em>“The current dollar-centric system cannot continue forever,”</em> <a href=\"https://www.gbm.hsbc.com/en-gb/feed/innovation-and-transformation/is-the-us-dollars-reserve-currency-status-under-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">says</a> Barry Eichengreen, Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley. <em>“A multipolar international monetary and financial system is coming, as the United States accounts for a declining share of the global economy.”</em>\r\n\r\nGoldman Sachs strategists have <a href=\"https://internationalbanker.com/finance/is-the-us-dollars-role-as-the-worlds-reserve-currency-under-threat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predicted</a> that there are now <em>“real concerns around the longevity of the US dollar as a reserve currency,”</em> while billionaire US fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller has warned that the dollar could <a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/11/stanley-druckenmiller-says-the-fed-is-endangering-the-dollars-global-reserve-status.html?&amp;qsearchterm=druckenmiller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cease to be the predominant global reserve currency</a> within 15 years.\r\n\r\nIronically, America’s growing use of severe sanctions against countries it doesn’t like, such as China and Russia, has fuelled this trend, as countries seek new ways of financing trade without Washington having the ability to seize their money. <em>“The U.S., by continuously using sanctions, is beginning to cut off its nose to spite its face,”</em> Anuradha Chenoy, formerly the dean of Jawaharlal Nehru University’s School of International Studies in New Delhi, has <a href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/sanctions-destroying-us-dollar-status-top-currency-1580619\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said</a>.\r\n\r\nI discussed all of this in detail in a piece for <em>RT DE</em> (Germany) in April, 2021, entitled <a href=\"https://de.rt.com/meinung/115941-nord-stream-2-der-wahre-grund-fuer-den-abscheu-der-us-regierung/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Nord Stream 2 - The real reason for the US government’s revulsion</em></a>:\r\n\r\n<em>“…The United States government, as the issuer of the world\'s reserve currency, is only interested in one thing: the proliferation of the US dollar.

Russia now has the power to prevent the proliferation of the US dollar. To return to the sponge analogy: Russia is reducing the size of the sponge. This leaves the US government with a smaller and smaller number of countries to export dollar inflation to. The smaller the sponge becomes, the more desperate US foreign policy becomes, as US leaders try by all means to preserve their grip on world power…”</em>\r\n\r\nAny nation that does not abide by Washington’s edicts and refuses to play the dollar game is met with a color revolution, a coup, a false flag or brute military force. Washington knows that if more and more of those dollars held in foreign reserves become superfluous, they will make their way back to the US to compound inflationary pressures there. This is the main reason, for example, why Washington is so vehemently against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline: because the Russians and the Germans together will determine the pricing mechanism, not Washington.\r\n\r\nThe nations of the world should have the sovereign right to choose which currency they choose to trade in and not be forced, at the barrel of a US gun, to use the US dollar.\r\n\r\nThis is the real reason Washington is hell-bent on drawing Russian forces into Ukraine. Washington must attempt, by any means possible, to contain Russia and then to try to force her into subjugation, i.e. full and total acceptance of US dollar hegemony upon her.\r\n\r\nBut, after decades of abuse, the current dollar-based monetary system is running on fumes. Interest rates have been artificially manipulated to zero, western central banks are monetizing debt via quantitative easing at a shocking pace, and consumer prices are skyrocketing as a function of inflating the monetary base.\r\n\r\nWashington will continue to do anything required to continue the dollar’s supremacy, including using Ukraine and the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in its efforts to provoke Russia and force dollar hegemony on her.

Without a free press, without local watchdog organizations, and without effective ways to hold governments accountable, the 4 billion people who live under authoritarianism need our help, and technology is one way we can reach out. As we’ve seen with the evolution of encrypted messaging, virtual private networks, and free knowledge initiatives like the Tor Project, Wikipedia, and Signal, technology can be a liberation tool, if built with the right values in mind. But as we’ve seen with centralized platforms ranging from Facebook to WeChat, technology will also be a tool of surveillance and even social engineering.</p>\r\n<p id=\"ff96\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Unless we take a stand now, and help make platforms and protocols with user privacy and decentralization in mind, mass surveillance and social credit may be the inevitable future. To help elevate this conversation, the <a href=\"https://www.zfnd.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">Zcash Foundation</a> has provided generous support for HRF to bring Eric Wall on as a Technology Privacy Fellow. Eric will be working with HRF for the next twelve months, writing five essays on privacy technology, with a special focus on cryptocurrency and how we can preserve privacy in the financial world. We look forward to sharing Eric’s work with you, and seeing it inspire fresh conversations with policymakers, philanthropists, investors, students, and the builders of our current and future technology infrastructure.</p>\r\n<p id=\"ffef\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">— Alex Gladstein\r\nChief Strategy Officer\r\nHuman Rights Foundation</p>\r\n\r\n</section><section>\r\n<h2 id=\"4f20\"><strong>Key points:</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li id=\"ed8b\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">If you’re an activist or a journalist, you may wonder how safe it is to use bitcoin to escape the prying eyes of a government or corporation</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"5ce9\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Bitcoin is only semi-private; the protocol doesn’t know your real name but transactions can still be linked to you in a myriad of ways</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"cc8b\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Blockchain analytics firms specialize in deanonymizing bitcoin activity and sell this data to corporations and law enforcement agencies</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"f343\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">A grasp of how the system works and use of tools such as Tor, coin control, CoinJoin transactions and avoiding address reuse can make a crucial difference in protecting your identity and transactions from being unmasked</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"2a28\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This article aims to give the reader a primer on Bitcoin privacy — later articles in the series will look at different wallets, compare different cryptocurrencies and survey exchange platforms in regions with restricted economic and political freedom</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</section><section>\r\n<h2 id=\"4130\"><strong>Why cryptocurrencies?</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"5973\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">It’s clear from the onset when observing cryptocurrencies at a protocol level that they are inherently more privacy-oriented than traditional digital payment systems. At the base layer of these protocols, there is typically no mapping between users’ cryptographic key pairs and their real-world identities, yet they allow us to store and transfer wealth across the globe with an unprecedented degree of freedom.</p>\r\n<p id=\"b99d\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The intention of the Human Rights Foundation is to examine these technologies and elucidate on their potential of bringing economic and political freedom to the individual. While there are many angles in the context of money that are within the scope of such an endeavor, we’ve chosen to focus on the topic of privacy foremost. In that pursuit it’s also clear that the degree to which cryptocurrencies enable privacy is not by any means trivial or binary — it varies greatly depending on the user’s particular choice of core and ancillary technologies and usage patterns, as well as the capabilities and sophistication of the attacker.</p>\r\n<p id=\"29af\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Regardless of that, we can observe that the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies — in particular, bitcoin — is increasing in countries where the economic freedom of the population is limited. While the liberating and democratic aspects of cryptocurrencies are apparent, especially the extent to which they enable censorship-resistant transaction networks and monetary policies impervious to various forms of government sabotage, none of these benefits are particularly helpful as long as authoritarian regimes can deanonymize and prosecute the users of these currencies at will.</p>\r\n\r\n<figure><iframe title=\"LocalBitcoins Volume per Internet-Connected Economically Active Person by Country | choropleth made by Mattius459 | plotly\" src=\"https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplot.ly%2F%7Emattius459%2F402%2F&amp;src=https%3A%2F%2Fplot.ly%2F%7Emattius459%2F402.embed%3Fautosize%3Dtrue&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;schema=plot\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe><figcaption>Many thanks to Matt Ahlborg for lending us this visualization from his great piece “<a href=\"https://medium.com/@mattahlborg/nuanced-analysis-of-localbitcoins-data-suggests-bitcoin-is-working-as-satoshi-intended-d8b04d3ac7b2\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuanced Analysis of LocalBitcoins Data Suggests Bitcoin is Working as Satoshi Intended</a>” which explains the exact methods used to generate it.</figcaption></figure>\r\n<p id=\"72ed\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The ambition of this initiative is to cut through the complexity of the cryptocurrency privacy subject by sourcing subject matter expertise from the industry. When we approach this subject, we recognize that we enter into a complex field, and as in any complex field, experts disagree. We will strive to strip this initiative from personal biases and condense opinions and research into simple practical guidelines.</p>\r\n<p id=\"6d8f\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The product of this research will be an article series of which this is the first piece.</p>\r\n\r\n</section><section>\r\n<h2 id=\"366b\"><strong>A primer on Bitcoin privacy</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"a2bb\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Bitcoin is neither completely anonymous nor completely transparent. The Bitcoin privacy conundrum exists in a grey area where the unmasking of a user’s financial activity ultimately depends on the capabilities of the adversary and the sophistication of the user and their choice of tools. There is no perfect privacy solution for any activity on the Internet, and in many cases, privacy-conscious choices come with tradeoffs to both cost and ease-of-use where no one-size-fits-all solution exists. Moreover, privacy is never a static thing but evolves continuously and in response to the battle between those who build tools to protect privacy and those who build tools to destroy it.</p>\r\n<p id=\"c0af\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The Bitcoin protocol itself evolves over time, which can lead to dramatic changes in its privacy properties. Changes to the core protocol are seldom simple choices between privacy and transparency alone, but more often come packed with changes to the security, scalability, and backward-compatibility of the software as well. Historically, the trend and ethos within the Bitcoin community has always favored privacy over transparency, but more conservatively so compared to other cryptocurrencies where privacy is the primary focus.</p>\r\n<p id=\"da75\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">As a result, activists or journalists who are considering using bitcoin to escape the prying eyes of an authoritarian government or a corporation need to understand what type of traces they leave when they’re using it and whether the privacy nature of bitcoin is sufficient for their needs. However, achieving this understanding requires some amount of effort.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"54af\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Tracing transactions</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"85af\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When you transact on the Bitcoin network you leave two types of traces. These can be categorized into “what’s on the blockchain” and “what’s not on the blockchain”. The information that is on the blockchain reveals no direct link between your identity and your transactions, but it does reveal information that can link your transactions to each other. What <em>does </em>link your identity to your transactions are the things in the second category: “what’s not on the blockchain”.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"a5ec\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>What’s not on the blockchain</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"4cb7\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When you transact on the Bitcoin network, you are sometimes sending or receiving money to/from some entity that knows who you are. That entity will then have outside-of-the-blockchain-knowledge that links your identity to a transaction.</p>\r\n<p id=\"b25a\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When you combine this fact with the other fact that your transactions can be linked to each other, the result is that motivated entities can sometimes figure out how you’re using your bitcoins, how much you have and who you’ve been transacting with.</p>\r\n<p id=\"251e\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">There are also countless ways you could be linked to a transaction even <em>without </em>having transacted with an entity that knows who you are, since Bitcoin transactions are typically sent in unencrypted packets over the Internet and the source IP address can be pinpointed through various means. Bitcoin transactions sent via <a href=\"https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">full nodes</a> such as Bitcoin Core require some triangulation or targeted traffic sniffing in order for the source IP address to be estimated, whereas other “light” wallets such as mobile wallets (Mycelium, Blockchain Wallet, Coinbase Wallet) will often broadcast transactions through company-run servers that can see your IP address directly and your full transaction history. The same is true for most hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) in their out-of-the-box setups.</p>\r\n<p id=\"89be\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Geolocation IP databases can often roughly approximate your physical location using your IP address. You can test it out yourself using this <a href=\"https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate-my-ip-address\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">link</a>, then enter the coordinates you get into an interface like Google Maps. More importantly, your IP address reveals your Internet Service Provider (ISP), which in turn knows the real-world identity of the owner of your IP address and often has a legal obligation to store this information for several months.</p>\r\n<p id=\"bb2a\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Even if you are using a public WiFi network to transmit your transactions, you could still accidentally associate your real identity with that IP address from the websites you visit and the background services your device connects to. Your Dropbox application will gladly connect to Dropbox’s company servers when you start your laptop which will associate that IP address with your Dropbox account in Dropbox’s server logs. The same thing will happen when you browse to a personal account on any website. Even if you don’t visit any personal web accounts, cookies stored on your laptop can reveal who you are to the website you browse to through your cookie’s association to your previous browsing history. Many websites allow third parties to track users like this for analytics purposes — Google alone is estimated to track users across 80% of the sites of the entire web.</p>\r\n<p id=\"1d08\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Even if you clear your cookies, website operators can track you across their different sites as long as your <a href=\"https://panopticlick.eff.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">browser fingerprint is unique</a> and associate your IP address to your identity that way. And even if you have no services running and avoid browsing altogether, your device’s <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address#cite_note-cunche-grehack2013-23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">MAC address</a> could get exposed to the network provider which could be <a href=\"https://hal.inria.fr/file/index/docid/858324/filename/Wi-Fi_Stalking.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">linked to your identity using sophisticated methods</a>. So, even if your IP address doesn’t lead back to you via an ISP record, you might still leave other traces that do when you’re using your personal devices.</p>\r\n<p id=\"cd74\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The worst category for privacy is of course when using third-party services that implement know your customer (KYC) practices as your Bitcoin wallet, as these services will keep logs of all your transactions and your real-world identity.</p>\r\n<p id=\"b277\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">You could also be linked to a Bitcoin address or transaction just by searching for it using web-based tools since there usually aren’t that many people other than you who are going to be looking up your transactions on the web for no good reason. Keep this in mind as we move to the next segment. Other data that isn’t on the blockchain but can easily be logged about your transaction is the approximate time it was broadcast to the network.</p>\r\n<p id=\"6328\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The current known best method to hide your source device and IP address when retrieving information about transactions or when transmitting transactions is to leverage Tor hidden services. Many wallets including Bitcoin Core will provide this as a <a href=\"https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md#tor-support-in-bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">configurable option</a> while others have it built-in. The <a href=\"https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">Tor browser</a> can similarly be a useful tool for your web-based Bitcoin-related activity as it, in addition to hiding your IP address, clears cookies upon each exit, prevents third-party cookies and is immune to most browser fingerprinting techniques.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"cd01\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>What’s on the blockchain</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"eeaa\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">A simple way to begin understanding what type of information is revealed by the Bitcoin blockchain is to use a block explorer.

This has an undesirable consequence: imagine a situation in which a friend pays you $10 but the transaction reveals that he’s the owner of a million dollars and has immediate access to send the full amount— obviously not very good for privacy. If you are worried about disclosing information about your bitcoin wealth when you are sending a payment to someone, you need to be aware of which inputs are used in your transactions (more on this below).</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"f8cc\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Combining the knowledge</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"b995\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Because transactions always need to provide the source of funds, transactions become linked together, producing what’s known as a transaction graph.

An address can become known because an entity — for example, a business or a charity — advertently exposes their deposit or donation addresses on their website, or inadvertently because a forum post or a law enforcement record publicly reveals the connection. Blockchain analytics firms will scrape the web regularly to find such information.</p>\r\n<p id=\"702b\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Other addresses become exposed via association through a technique called clustering.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"5602\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Clustering</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"9e3d\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Let’s go back to our example transaction from the previous examples, <code><a href=\"http://e70c2ed31c05fbf2865a15a696a7ca0cb8f3afef92c34f4e41051dc2356827c8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">e70c2ed31c05fbf2865a15a696a7ca0cb8f3afef92c34f4e41051dc2356827c8</a></code>.

The result is that a payment can have a plethora of possible “source of funds” indiscernible from one another, as well as a plethora of possible destinations. This technically doesn’t <em>hide </em>the source of funds or the destination, but it mixes it so that it becomes difficult to prove what actually funded a particular payment and who’s bitcoins went where.</p>\r\n<p id=\"16a4\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">What’s also interesting about these kinds of transactions is that they complicate the idea of the common-input-ownership-heuristic.

Equal-amount CoinJoin transactions are best understood as <em>mixers </em>to be used when one wishes to obfuscate the source of funds for a payment and the destination to which a payment is sent.</p>\r\n<p id=\"3545\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">However, the same principle is used to create transactions that are indistinguishable from normal transactions in a recent invention called a <strong>PayJoin</strong> or<strong> Pay-to-EndPoint (P2EP)</strong>. This emerging transaction type mixes inputs from the payer and the recipient and pays the recipient by shifting over the payment amount from the sender’s output and to the recipient’s output during a real payment for something.</p>\r\n\r\n<figure><img role=\"presentation\" src=\"https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*RLgtZI03SpXrkvGmjdrcow.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"196\" /><figcaption data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">A PayJoin transaction template where the sender pays 0.5 bitcoin to the recipient, mixing inputs with each other in the process.</figcaption></figure>\r\n<p id=\"2154\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This transaction doesn’t do a lot of mixing — but it does trigger the common-input-ownership heuristic erroneously. More importantly, it triggers the heuristic without leaving any clues for the analytics firms to <em>not </em>cluster the inputs together, which they would need to in order to avoid giving false positives. If the usage of PayJoins becomes widespread, the portion of false common-input-ownership positives could become so great that the heuristic itself becomes unreliable, which would be a massive setback for the blockchain analytics tools.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"7223\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>The Lightning Network</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"3ba9\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The Lightning Network is a beta technology that is being developed on top of the Bitcoin protocol to facilitate low-cost, instant payments. The Lightning Network is accessible to users of <a href=\"https://lightningnetworkstores.com/wallets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">Lightning wallets</a>. Lightning transactions differ from base-layer transactions in many ways which make them advantageous from a privacy perspective:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li id=\"6ac1\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Lightning transactions are not stored on a public ledger.</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"e524\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Lightning transactions use <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">onion routing</a> which doesn’t disclose who the final recipient is to the rest of the network.</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"9dbf\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Lightning transactions don’t mix inputs and can’t be clustered together.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p id=\"15fd\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The Lightning Network is a system of channels which require liquidity; the current set of merchants and users that accept Lightning payments today are a small subset of the total set of Bitcoin users in the system, and not all payments (especially larger ones) can propagate through the channel system, although that is expected to improve over time. This also means that while Lightning can provide improved privacy for the transactions in its channel system, those channels still need to be funded by regular Bitcoin transactions, which are subject to the privacy concerns in this post.</p>\r\n<p id=\"2922\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Another problem is that unlike base-layer Bitcoin payment recipients, recipients of Lightning payments are required to have a Lightning node running. Your node communicates with other Lightning nodes using TCP/IP. Whenever your node interacts with the network (sending, receiving or routing other payments) someone will learn about the existence of your node, its public key and its IP address. From your public key, it’s trivial to find out which channels are open between you and other nodes, and how many bitcoins you each have committed to those channels upon opening them. For private channels, the IP address is only revealed to the ones you have an open channel with, but for public channels, it’s revealed to the entire network and it’s even possible for someone to probe the channels’ current balances to figure out if you’re a target worth attacking.</p>\r\n<p id=\"e1e2\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">When you run a Lightning node, you should assume that your channel balances are known and that they can be linked to your IP address. For this reason, running your Lightning node over Tor is a good option to protect your privacy.</p>\r\n<p id=\"b8e1\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The Lightning Network is currently under quite rapid development and many of its properties might be subject to change in the near future.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"fa8d\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Protocol changes</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"9ec2\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">There are several privacy-enhancing technologies that are in development for the base-layer Bitcoin protocol. Here are a few examples:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li id=\"c51b\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Schnorr signatures — a signature scheme which, among other improvements, makes multisignature addresses indistinguishable from single-signature addresses</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"87df\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Scriptless scripts — a method by which to use scripts without disclosing the actual spending rules</li>\r\n 	<li id=\"35c7\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Taproot — a technique with the potential of making transactions of all types of spending rules indistinguishable from each other</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 id=\"672f\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"a351\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This article aims to give a primer to how privacy works in Bitcoin. The pseudonymous but transparent nature of the Bitcoin blockchain creates an environment where the privacy of the system ultimately hinges on the tools employed by the user and the spying entity. Users who take few precautions for protecting their privacy will most likely leak enough financial information in order for it to be dangerous, assuming that the spying entity is analyzing the blockchain.</p>\r\n<p id=\"fc2a\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The next step is to get acquainted with how different Bitcoin wallet applications can help with privacy, and what to expect when using them. This will be covered in the next article in this series. In later articles, we will look at different cryptocurrencies and survey available exchange platforms in regions with restricted economic and political freedom.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"d7b9\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong>Further reading</strong></h2>\r\n<p id=\"7358\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">To completely understand what is going on under the hood of Bitcoin, <a href=\"https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">Andreas Antonopoulos’ Mastering Bitcoin</a> is an excellent resource <a href=\"https://bitcoinbook.info/translations-of-mastering-bitcoin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">which is translated into several languages</a>.</p>\r\n<p id=\"15f9\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">More specifically, the <a href=\"https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\">Privacy page on the Bitcoin Wiki</a> goes into much more depth on several of these topics and was very recently updated by Chris Belcher.

ping that notification bell down below okay that\'s it for the intro it\'s time to find out\r\n\r\n1:29\r\n\r\nwhat really caused terror to implode let\'s take it from the top so that we\'re\r\n\r\n1:35\r\n\r\nall on the same page terra was and i suppose technically still is a crypto project founded in\r\n\r\n1:42\r\n\r\nearly 2018 by ivy league educated economist daniel shin an ivy league\r\n\r\n1:47\r\n\r\neducated computer scientist doe quan terra was built by terraform labs or tfl\r\n\r\n1:54\r\n\r\na south korean software company which was incubated by the terror alliance a group of 15 asian e-commerce giants\r\n\r\n2:02\r\n\r\nnote that terraform labs is based in singapore do kwan has served as the ceo of\r\n\r\n2:08\r\n\r\nterraform labs since its inception and daniel shin left terraform labs in early\r\n\r\n2:14\r\n\r\n2020 to become the ceo of the chai corporation a payments app that\r\n\r\n2:19\r\n\r\nleverages terror terra\'s development is coordinated by the luna foundation guard or lfg a\r\n\r\n2:26\r\n\r\nsingaporean non-profit that was incorporated in january this year note that all these details will be\r\n\r\n2:33\r\n\r\nrelevant later so listen close the luna foundation guards governing council consists of seven individuals\r\n\r\n2:40\r\n\r\nincluding do kwan as well as representatives from prominent crypto vcs like jump crypto and delphi digital\r\n\r\n2:48\r\n\r\nand even finance labs now terra raised roughly 47 million\r\n\r\n2:53\r\n\r\ndollars across three icos in 2018 and has since raised tens of millions more from prominent crypto vcs namely galaxy\r\n\r\n3:01\r\n\r\ndigital which invested 25 million dollars in terra in early 2021.\r\n\r\n3:06\r\n\r\nterra\'s main net went live in april 2019 and its blockchain was built using the cosmos sdk\r\n\r\n3:13\r\n\r\nthis means tera can process thousands of transactions per second while remaining secure though it is quite centralized\r\n\r\n3:20\r\n\r\nwith just 130 validators note that terror\'s validators are also\r\n\r\n3:25\r\n\r\nthe price oracles for terror now terra is or rather was an ecosystem\r\n\r\n3:30\r\n\r\nof decentralized stable coins and its purpose was to power the next generation of payments with its various\r\n\r\n3:36\r\n\r\ndecentralized digital currencies and the various decentralized applications that were being built on the terra blockchain\r\n\r\n3:44\r\n\r\nluna is terra\'s native cryptocurrency coin and it\'s used for staking on the terra blockchain to pay for transaction\r\n\r\n3:51\r\n\r\nfees on the terra blockchain and to table and vote on governance proposals for the terror blockchain\r\n\r\n3:57\r\n\r\nluna is also used to ensure tera\'s various decentralized stablecoins remain pegged to their respective fiat\r\n\r\n4:04\r\n\r\ncurrencies now it does this using a novel mint and burn mechanism plus free market\r\n\r\n4:10\r\n\r\narbitrage ust was or rather is terra\'s largest decentralized stablecoin and it is or\r\n\r\n4:17\r\n\r\nrather was pegged to the us dollar like everyone else i\'ll use ust to\r\n\r\n4:23\r\n\r\nexplain exactly how terra\'s mint and burn mechanism works don\'t worry i\'ll keep it super simple\r\n\r\n4:30\r\n\r\non terra one dollars worth of luna can always be burned to mint one ust and one\r\n\r\n4:37\r\n\r\nust can always be burned to mint one dollars worth of luna now suppose ust is trading at 1.50 or 50\r\n\r\n4:46\r\n\r\npercent above its one dollar peg if you hold luna you could burn one\r\n\r\n4:52\r\n\r\ndollars worth of luna to mint one and a half ust and then sell that newly minted\r\n\r\n4:58\r\n\r\nust for say another stable coin the result is an instant 50 profit and\r\n\r\n5:04\r\n\r\nthe increase in ust supply combined with the cell pressure from you and other\r\n\r\n5:09\r\n\r\nlunar holders who are minting and selling ust eventually brings ust back\r\n\r\n5:14\r\n\r\ndown to its one dollar peg obviously the prospect of these instant profits creates buying pressure for luna\r\n\r\n5:22\r\n\r\nas well logically the same process applies in the other direction for example if ust\r\n\r\n5:28\r\n\r\nis trading at just 50 cents or 50 percent below its peg as a ust holder\r\n\r\n5:34\r\n\r\nyou could burn one ust and essentially mint twice the dollar amount in luna and\r\n\r\n5:39\r\n\r\nmake a 2x profit assuming you immediately sell that luna for something else\r\n\r\n5:44\r\n\r\nthis reduction in usd\'s supply combined with the buying pressure for ust from\r\n\r\n5:49\r\n\r\ntraders who want to make a quick profit eventually brings ust\'s peg back up to\r\n\r\n5:55\r\n\r\none dollar now this is why ust is referred to as an algorithmic stablecoin and though this\r\n\r\n6:01\r\n\r\nprocess of maintaining a peg sounds robust on paper in practice a de-pegging\r\n\r\n6:06\r\n\r\nof ust to the downside runs the risk of something called a death spiral\r\n\r\n6:12\r\n\r\nas i just mentioned when ust drops below its peg there\'s a huge incentive for traders to come in and buy that ust burn\r\n\r\n6:19\r\n\r\nit to mint luna and sell that luna for an instant profit i\'ll repeat that in order to realize this profit that newly\r\n\r\n6:27\r\n\r\nminted luna must be immediately sold now when the crypto market is on the\r\n\r\n6:33\r\n\r\nrise this process isn\'t necessarily a problem because there\'s lots of speculative demand for luna and that\r\n\r\n6:39\r\n\r\nmeans any selling by ust arbitrage traders is unlikely to affect its price\r\n\r\n6:44\r\n\r\nif at all when the crypto market is on the decline however this process does become a\r\n\r\n6:51\r\n\r\nproblem because there\'s not much speculative demand for luna and that means its price is going down while it\'s\r\n\r\n6:58\r\n\r\nbeing aggressively sold by ust holders this makes its price fall even further\r\n\r\n7:04\r\n\r\nand causes panic among ust holders and this is the short explanation of what\r\n\r\n7:09\r\n\r\nhappened to terror as you will soon see however there were a lot more moving\r\n\r\n7:14\r\n\r\nparts beneath the surface and the first part we need to examine is something called seniorage\r\n\r\n7:22\r\n\r\non terra minting ust by burning luna costs a small fee in luna called\r\n\r\n7:29\r\n\r\nfor a long time seniority fees went to terra\'s community treasury\r\n\r\n7:35\r\n\r\nafter a while the size of terrace community treasury had grown so large that the terror community voted to burn\r\n\r\n7:42\r\n\r\nall seniority fees as part of the columbus 5 upgrade last september\r\n\r\n7:47\r\n\r\nthe terror community subsequently voted to convert the 89 million luna in the treasury to mint around 4.5 billion ust\r\n\r\n7:56\r\n\r\nin november so yes it was large to say the least in the months that followed the terror\r\n\r\n8:02\r\n\r\ncommunity approved various proposals to bridge ust to just about every major smart contract cryptocurrency as part of\r\n\r\n8:09\r\n\r\nthe project\'s mission to make ust the most accessible stable coin in the crypto markets\r\n\r\n8:15\r\n\r\nwhen ust bridged to other blockchains some kind of liquidity mining rewards were almost always involved\r\n\r\n8:22\r\n\r\nput differently anyone who used ust in d5 protocols on other cryptocurrency\r\n\r\n8:27\r\n\r\nblockchains would earn additional cryptocurrency be it luna ust or some\r\n\r\n8:33\r\n\r\nother coin or token naturally these additional rewards created a lot of demand for ust\r\n\r\n8:40\r\n\r\nthis increased demand for ust would push it ever so slightly above its one dollar peg and ust being above its peg would\r\n\r\n8:48\r\n\r\nincentivize market participants to buy and burn luna to mint ust for a small profit this not only caused ust\'s market\r\n\r\n8:56\r\n\r\ncap to increase exponentially but it also caused luna\'s price to increase\r\n\r\n9:01\r\n\r\nexponentially that\'s because of basic economics luna\'s supply was gradually being reduced as\r\n\r\n9:08\r\n\r\npeople burned luna to mint ust for a small profit with demand for luna simultaneously\r\n\r\n9:14\r\n\r\nincreasing while the number of lunar in circulation fell this caused its price to rise rapidly\r\n\r\n9:21\r\n\r\nthis dynamic is why some claim that terror is a ponzi but if we\'re being honest a similar dynamic exists with\r\n\r\n9:28\r\n\r\njust about every other asset on the planet for that matter heck even stocks only continue to rise because of\r\n\r\n9:35\r\n\r\nincreasing demand over time i digress at its peak in early april luna hit a\r\n\r\n9:42\r\n\r\nhigh of 120 dollars and tera surpassed solana to become the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market cap\r\n\r\n9:49\r\n\r\nmeanwhile ust\'s market cap and circulating supply was just shy of 19 billion making it the third largest\r\n\r\n9:56\r\n\r\nstablecoin after tethers usdt and circles usdc\r\n\r\n10:01\r\n\r\nust was also listed on all of the most reputable crypto exchanges including\r\n\r\n10:06\r\n\r\ncoinbase binance ftx and kucoin with many crypto and ust trading pairs so not\r\n\r\n10:13\r\n\r\njust with other stable coins although lots of demand for ust was coming from all of the d5 protocols\r\n\r\n10:20\r\n\r\noffering liquidity rewards the overwhelming majority of demand for ust was coming from a single d5 protocol on\r\n\r\n10:26\r\n\r\nthe terra blockchain called the anchor protocol which held almost 80 percent of all the ust in circulation\r\n\r\n10:33\r\n\r\nthis brings me to the second moving part beneath the surface which is of course anchor protocol\r\n\r\n10:39\r\n\r\nas many of you will know anchor protocol was famous for offering a stable interest rate of 20 percent per year on\r\n\r\n10:46\r\n\r\nust this suspiciously high rate led many people to accuse anchor protocol of\r\n\r\n10:52\r\n\r\nbeing a ponzi but this also doesn\'t seem to be the case when you consider how\r\n\r\n10:57\r\n\r\nexactly anchor protocol works and i\'ll use a simple analogy to explain\r\n\r\n11:03\r\n\r\nimagine there\'s a bank that\'s offering a five percent annual interest rate on savings the good old days if you will\r\n\r\n11:10\r\n\r\nnow let\'s say some rich bloke comes along and deposits 100 billion dollars\r\n\r\n11:15\r\n\r\ninto this bank quick maths tells you that this rich fellow will rake in five billion dollars\r\n\r\n11:20\r\n\r\nper year from his massive cash pile now let\'s say that some poor bloke comes\r\n\r\n11:25\r\n\r\nalong and deposits 100 into the same bank quick maths tells you that this poor fellow will make just five dollars\r\n\r\n11:32\r\n\r\nper year from his tiny cash pile but the bank has a special deal for him\r\n\r\n11:38\r\n\r\nfor a limited time we will give you an annual interest rate of 20\r\n\r\n11:43\r\n\r\nhow is the bank going to give this poor bloke this interest rate you ask easy just take 20 from the 5 billion of\r\n\r\n11:51\r\n\r\ninterest coming from the rich blokes massive cash pile and add it to the poor bloke\'s tiny cash pile billy big bags\r\n\r\n11:58\r\n\r\nwon\'t even notice now jokes aside because the interest being earned by the rich blokes cash\r\n\r\n12:04\r\n\r\npile is so massive the bank can afford to give a 20 interest rate to literally\r\n\r\n12:10\r\n\r\nthousands if not hundreds of thousands of poor blokes and potentially secure thousands if not hundreds of thousands\r\n\r\n12:16\r\n\r\nof new customers there\'s only one thing the bank must do and that\'s to convince the rich bloke to\r\n\r\n12:23\r\n\r\nlet it redirect the five billion dollars of annual interest on his massive cash pile to all the small cash piles of the\r\n\r\n12:30\r\n\r\npoor blokes how is the bank going to convince the rich bloke to give up his annual\r\n\r\n12:36\r\n\r\ninterest you may ask easy just offer him shares in the bank itself\r\n\r\n12:41\r\n\r\nthat will give him control of how the bank operates and promise to use a portion of all the interest being\r\n\r\n12:47\r\n\r\ngenerated by the bank to purchase more shares so their prices stay high\r\n\r\n12:52\r\n\r\nnow believe it or not but this is almost exactly how anchor protocol works or rather worked on anchor protocol the\r\n\r\n13:00\r\n\r\nrich folk would deposit large amounts of staked luna from terror staked atom from\r\n\r\n13:05\r\n\r\ncosmos staked soul from solana staked avax from avalanche and even staked eth\r\n\r\n13:10\r\n\r\nfrom ethereum the annual staking rewards for these proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies was or\r\n\r\n13:16\r\n\r\nrather is 5 or more all these staking rewards from the rich folks would get\r\n\r\n13:23\r\n\r\nconverted into ust by the anchor protocol and then this ust would be given to the poor folks who were\r\n\r\n13:29\r\n\r\ndepositing ust to earn 20 per year if the staking rewards being earned by\r\n\r\n13:35\r\n\r\nall proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies provided by the rich folks exceeded the amount needed to provide poor folks with\r\n\r\n13:41\r\n\r\na 20 yield on ust these additional staking rewards would again be converted\r\n\r\n13:47\r\n\r\ninto ust and deposited into the anchor protocol\'s yield reserves which would be\r\n\r\n13:52\r\n\r\nused to keep paying the poor folks when there aren\'t enough rich folks around\r\n\r\n13:57\r\n\r\nin return for providing proof of stake cryptocurrencies the rich folks would get anchor protocols anc token which is\r\n\r\n14:04\r\n\r\nused for governance and a portion of anchor protocol\'s yield reserves would be used to buy anc to ensure that its\r\n\r\n14:11\r\n\r\nprice increased along with the popularity of the protocol as with terror itself anchor protocol worked\r\n\r\n14:19\r\n\r\nmuch better on paper than it did in practice because in practice there are many more poor folks than there are rich\r\n\r\n14:26\r\n\r\nfolks in other words the staking rewards coming from the proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies provided by the rich\r\n\r\n14:32\r\n\r\nfolks was not nearly enough to continue paying a 20 interest rate on ust for all\r\n\r\n14:38\r\n\r\nthe poor folks and as a result the yield reserves were being drained rather than\r\n\r\n14:43\r\n\r\nfilled now to be fair this is something that the anchor protocol team and community\r\n\r\n14:49\r\n\r\nwere aware of and it\'s why they were in the process of reducing the protocol\'s 20 interest rate to something more\r\n\r\n14:56\r\n\r\nsustainable in the interim anchor protocol\'s yield reserves were being replenished with ust\r\n\r\n15:02\r\n\r\ncoming from the entities behind terror and this ties into the third moving part\r\n\r\n15:07\r\n\r\nbeneath the surface the lunar foundation guard as i mentioned earlier the luna\r\n\r\n15:13\r\n\r\nfoundation guard or lfg is the singaporean non-profit that coordinates terra\'s development however the lfg\r\n\r\n15:20\r\n\r\nplays another more important role and that\'s to ensure ust\'s peg remains stable at all costs as many of you will\r\n\r\n15:28\r\n\r\nknow the lfg is famous for buying up billions of dollars of btc which was\r\n\r\n15:33\r\n\r\ngoing to be used to protect ust\'s peg what many of you might not know is the\r\n\r\n15:39\r\n\r\nback story to how this btc treasury came to be prior to the events of last week ust\r\n\r\n15:45\r\n\r\nheld its peg quite well save for three occasions the first was at the end of december\r\n\r\n15:51\r\n\r\n2020 when ust fell sharply below its peg for about a day now i actually couldn\'t find the exact\r\n\r\n15:58\r\n\r\ncause of this but if you know please drop a comment below anyways the second time ust lost its peg\r\n\r\n16:05\r\n\r\nwas during the crypto crash last may when ust fell significantly below its peg for more than a week\r\n\r\n16:11\r\n\r\nin an interview from last october terra co-founder do kwan explained that it was last may\'s crash that really made the\r\n\r\n16:18\r\n\r\nterror team start to think about how they could protect ust\'s peg and they settled on btc as the ideal backing for\r\n\r\n16:26\r\n\r\nust during times of volatility however it was ust\'s third major\r\n\r\n16:32\r\n\r\nde-pegging event that really kicked the terror team in the keister and that was when ust fell slightly below its peg in\r\n\r\n16:39\r\n\r\njanuary now this d-pegging was reportedly caused by a d5 protocol called abracadabra\r\n\r\n16:46\r\n\r\nwhich makes it possible to mint another decentralized stablecoin called magic internet money or mim using\r\n\r\n16:52\r\n\r\ninterest-bearing tokens as collateral as you might have guessed ust was one of\r\n\r\n16:57\r\n\r\nthe tokens that could be deposited into abracadabra to mint mim specifically a\r\n\r\n17:03\r\n\r\nust which is an interest bearing token given to ust holders as a sort of receipt for their ust when they deposit\r\n\r\n17:11\r\n\r\nsaid ust into the anchor protocol on abracadabra some d5 degens came up\r\n\r\n17:18\r\n\r\nwith a clever strategy called the degen box which is where you deposit aust into\r\n\r\n17:23\r\n\r\nabracadabra to mint mim then use the mim to buy ust\r\n\r\n17:28\r\n\r\ndeposit ust into anchor protocol to get more aust deposit that aust into\r\n\r\n17:34\r\n\r\nabracadabra and so on until you have lots of yield now it doesn\'t take a d5 expert to\r\n\r\n17:41\r\n\r\nrealize that this defy strategy is extremely risky because if mim or aust\r\n\r\n17:46\r\n\r\ndeviates from its peg by even just a couple of percentage points the entire scheme could collapse very quickly and\r\n\r\n17:53\r\n\r\nin terra\'s case this had the potential to do serious damage to ust and\r\n\r\n17:58\r\n\r\nluna as it so happens it was discovered that one of the people working closely with the developer behind abracadabra\r\n\r\n18:05\r\n\r\nwas the co-founder of quadriga cx the infamous canadian cryptocurrency exchange which collapsed after its other\r\n\r\n18:12\r\n\r\nco-founder died while on holiday in india or so the story goes\r\n\r\n18:17\r\n\r\nthis shocking revelation spooked holders of the coins and tokens associated with abracadabra and this is ultimately what\r\n\r\n18:24\r\n\r\ncaused ust to fall slightly below its one dollar peg realizing the exponential risks\r\n\r\n18:31\r\n\r\nassociated with having ust on so many chains and in so many d5 protocols the\r\n\r\n18:37\r\n\r\nrecently incorporated lfg moved forward with the plan to use btc to protect\r\n\r\n18:43\r\n\r\nust\'s peg this relates to the fourth moving part beneath the surface the lfg\'s btc\r\n\r\n18:51\r\n\r\naccumulation about a month after the lfg was established it started raising the\r\n\r\n18:57\r\n\r\ncapital required to purchase boatloads of btc starting with a one billion\r\n\r\n19:02\r\n\r\ndollar raise from prominent crypto vcs including jump crypto and three arrows capital which was financed through\r\n\r\n19:09\r\n\r\nover-the-counter sales of lfg\'s lunar holdings the plan was straightforward buy up\r\n\r\n19:15\r\n\r\nenough btc to back 20 percent of ust\'s circulating supply and then use tera\'s\r\n\r\n19:21\r\n\r\naforementioned senior ridge fees to automatically purchase additional btc every time someone burns luna to mint\r\n\r\n19:28\r\n\r\nust recall that seniority fees are currently burned\r\n\r\n19:33\r\n\r\nnow given ust\'s circulating supply at the time backing 20 of it with btc would\r\n\r\n19:39\r\n\r\nrequire just over 3 billion worth of btc with only 1 billion raised and much of\r\n\r\n19:46\r\n\r\nit spent the lfg needed some additional capital to continue its btc accumulation\r\n\r\n19:52\r\n\r\nin early march terra co-founder do kwan announced that terraform labs had gifted\r\n\r\n19:58\r\n\r\n1.2 billion dollars worth of luna to the lfg which would be converting it to ust\r\n\r\n20:04\r\n\r\nand using said ust to continue buying btc a few days later doe also announced that\r\n\r\n20:11\r\n\r\nterra was aiming to accumulate 10 billion of btc to protect ust\'s peg with\r\n\r\n20:17\r\n\r\n3 billion being accumulated by the lfg and the remaining seven billion being accumulated over time via seniority fees\r\n\r\n20:25\r\n\r\nshortly after that jump crypto posted a plan for how exactly btc could be used to protect ust\'s peg to terra\'s\r\n\r\n20:33\r\n\r\ngovernance forum and the short explanation is that the lfg would deposit all its btc into a non-custodial\r\n\r\n20:40\r\n\r\nreserve pool where anyone could redeem ust for btc the same way they do with\r\n\r\n20:45\r\n\r\nluna the assumption there is that if ust were to drop significantly below its peg\r\n\r\n20:51\r\n\r\nrational market participants would opt to swap their one ust for one dollars worth of btc rather than one dollars\r\n\r\n20:59\r\n\r\nworth of luna this would take the cell pressure off luna and prevent the death spiral\r\n\r\n21:04\r\n\r\nscenario i was talking about earlier jump crypto\'s plan was actually extremely detailed i\'ll leave it in the\r\n\r\n21:10\r\n\r\ndescription if you\'re interested anyhow in early april binance added\r\n\r\n21:16\r\n\r\nsupport for the anchor protocol making it possible for its 30 million users to earn high stable yields on ust\r\n\r\n21:23\r\n\r\nnote that i\'m just mentioning this to underscore just how integrated terra was with the entire crypto ecosystem\r\n\r\n21:31\r\n\r\nterraform labs and the luna foundation guard also purchased 200 million dollars worth of avalanches avacs as part of an\r\n\r\n21:39\r\n\r\nongoing plan to add other cryptocurrencies to terror\'s stability reserves for ust\r\n\r\n21:45\r\n\r\ndokwan had earlier mentioned that their plan was to eventually start accumulating the cryptocurrencies that\r\n\r\n21:51\r\n\r\nbelong to the smart contract blockchains ust is available on again this will all be relevant in just\r\n\r\n21:58\r\n\r\na moment in mid-april terraform labs gifted yet another 900 million dollars worth of\r\n\r\n22:04\r\n\r\nluna to the lfg to sell for more btc all the while the lfg was giving\r\n\r\n22:10\r\n\r\nfrequent updates about its btc buys which would happen in waves of around 100 million dollars at a time\r\n\r\n22:17\r\n\r\nthe lfg also made all its crypto wallet addresses public for everyone to see the accumulation in real time\r\n\r\n22:24\r\n\r\nthe lfg achieved its target of backing 20 of usd circulating supply on thursday\r\n\r\n22:30\r\n\r\nmay the 5th with a 1.5 billion btc buy financed through the sale of luna to\r\n\r\n22:36\r\n\r\nthree arrows capital and genesis global trading a crypto otc broker and subsidiary of digital currency group\r\n\r\n22:44\r\n\r\nand then everything went to s-h-i-t\r\n\r\n22:49\r\n\r\nterra\'s implosion arguably began on saturday the 7th of may and i\'ll quickly note that the following order of events\r\n\r\n22:56\r\n\r\nhas been confirmed to one of the researchers here at the coin bureau by a high profile member of the terror\r\n\r\n23:02\r\n\r\ncommunity who shall not be named i\'ll also highlight events where speculation is involved\r\n\r\n23:10\r\n\r\non saturday night the terror team withdrew a massive amount of ust from a\r\n\r\n23:15\r\n\r\ntrading pool on curve finance for context curve finance is a decentralized exchange for stable coins\r\n\r\n23:22\r\n\r\nand the terror team withdrew all that ust in preparation for something called\r\n\r\n23:27\r\n\r\nthe four pool which i won\'t get into here all you need to know is that the moment the terror team withdrew this ust\r\n\r\n23:35\r\n\r\nan unknown whale sold around 85 million ust for 85 million usdc on curve finance\r\n\r\n23:42\r\n\r\nand this pushed ust slightly below its peg there is speculation that another 200\r\n\r\n23:50\r\n\r\nmillion dollars of ust was simultaneously sold on binance and though lots of well-respected folks in\r\n\r\n23:57\r\n\r\nthe crypto space swear that this happened it cannot be confirmed\r\n\r\n24:03\r\n\r\nregardless of where the cell pressure was coming from it was enough to push ust slightly below its peg\r\n\r\n24:10\r\n\r\nnow because the crypto market had already been crashing in the days prior risk-averse individuals and institutions\r\n\r\n24:17\r\n\r\nwith exposure to ust immediately started selling out of safety concerns and this\r\n\r\n24:22\r\n\r\nisn\'t speculation in a recent interview with digital asset news celsius ceo alex mizinski said they\r\n\r\n24:30\r\n\r\npulled all their and their users assets out of the anchor protocol as soon as\r\n\r\n24:35\r\n\r\nust fell slightly below its peg and this was almost certainly the case with similar crypto apps that had exposure to\r\n\r\n24:42\r\n\r\nust and the anchor protocol as you can see around 9 billion of the\r\n\r\n24:48\r\n\r\n14 billion ust on anchor protocol was withdrawn within the first 48 hours of\r\n\r\n24:53\r\n\r\nust falling slightly below its peg this mass exodus from the anchor\r\n\r\n24:59\r\n\r\nprotocol created intense cell pressure for ust as everyone exchanged it for\r\n\r\n25:04\r\n\r\nother stablecoins and this pushed ust significantly below its peg\r\n\r\n25:10\r\n\r\nwhen that happened various market participants started burning ust to mint luna for a quick profit which of course\r\n\r\n25:16\r\n\r\nrequires selling luna right away to realize especially since luna\'s price\r\n\r\n25:22\r\n\r\nhad already been crashing along with the rest of the crypto market this cell pressure on luna as well as\r\n\r\n25:28\r\n\r\nthe sudden increase in its circulating supply crashed its price even further and the moment luna\'s market cap fell\r\n\r\n25:35\r\n\r\nbelow ust\'s market cap luna officially entered the death spiral with more luna\r\n\r\n25:41\r\n\r\nbeing minted while its price was reduced to ashes this is simply because ust is\r\n\r\n25:47\r\n\r\nfundamentally a representation of the potential cell pressure on luna and it\r\n\r\n25:52\r\n\r\nappears that many lunar and ust holders took this realization to heart if ust\'s\r\n\r\n25:58\r\n\r\nmarket cap is larger than lunars then it can\'t absorb the cell pressure from ust\r\n\r\n26:03\r\n\r\nand that means it\'s going to zero with luna\'s price in freefall the\r\n\r\n26:09\r\n\r\nintegrity of the terror blockchain itself was under threat as an attacker could manipulate the governance\r\n\r\n26:14\r\n\r\nproposals that people were trying to pass to stop the bleeding a low lunar price also made it easy for\r\n\r\n26:21\r\n\r\na malicious actor to become a validator and manipulate transactions left with no other option tera\'s\r\n\r\n26:28\r\n\r\nvalidators agreed to halt the chain for a while to try and buy some time upon restarting the chain the chaos\r\n\r\n26:34\r\n\r\ncontinued so terra\'s validators halted the chain again before restarting it for a second time but with terra\'s mint and\r\n\r\n26:42\r\n\r\nburn mechanism for stable coins disabled all the while terra\'s luna foundation\r\n\r\n26:47\r\n\r\nguard was aggressively selling btc on the spot market with the help of multiple market makers on multiple\r\n\r\n26:54\r\n\r\nexchanges and the lfg revealed in a recent twitter thread that it had basically emptied the clip it spent over\r\n\r\n27:00\r\n\r\n80 000 btc to try and restore ust\'s peg\r\n\r\n27:05\r\n\r\non-chain analysis done by glass node and elliptic seems to confirm the lfg\'s\r\n\r\n27:11\r\n\r\nclaims and you can find both of those reports in the description now there is speculation that the same\r\n\r\n27:17\r\n\r\nentity that dumped ust on curve finance and supposedly on binance also opened a\r\n\r\n27:23\r\n\r\nshort position on btc knowing that the lfg would be dumping its btc on the open\r\n\r\n27:28\r\n\r\nmarket thereby crashing btc\'s price there are again many prominent crypto\r\n\r\n27:34\r\n\r\npersonalities who insist that this is what happened and some have even gone as far as to say that the attacker even\r\n\r\n27:41\r\n\r\nused the profits from shorting btc to continue attacking terror through its mint and burn mechanism now\r\n\r\n27:48\r\n\r\nunfortunately none of this can be confirmed by friday the 13th of may both luna and\r\n\r\n27:55\r\n\r\nust had flatlined dealing a 40 billion blow to luna and ust holders and tens of\r\n\r\n28:02\r\n\r\nbillions of more dollars in damage to the individuals institutions d5 protocols and smart contract\r\n\r\n28:07\r\n\r\ncryptocurrencies that had exposure to terror\'s ecosystem which was almost all\r\n\r\n28:13\r\n\r\nof them and yes one of those individuals was me\r\n\r\n28:19\r\n\r\nso who is to blame for tara\'s collapse well i\'ll start by saying that nobody\r\n\r\n28:24\r\n\r\ncurrently knows who\'s behind it all and maybe we\'ll never know all we have right now is speculation\r\n\r\n28:30\r\n\r\nbased on what are likely just coincidences but all signs seem to point\r\n\r\n28:36\r\n\r\nto wall street and here\'s why almost every single individual and institution in cryptocurrency had\r\n\r\n28:42\r\n\r\nexposure to terror in some way shape or form vcs were heavily and i mean heavily\r\n\r\n28:48\r\n\r\ninvested in this project and they genuinely believed in its potential like\r\n\r\n28:53\r\n\r\nso many of us did and some still do as a quick side note i remember at the coin\r\n\r\n28:59\r\n\r\nbureau conference a couple of weeks ago we asked the crowd how many people were using anchor protocol and almost\r\n\r\n29:05\r\n\r\neveryone raised their hand literally hundreds of people it\'s just one of many examples of how\r\n\r\n29:11\r\n\r\nwidespread the adoption of terror really was if you accept this premise the only\r\n\r\n29:17\r\n\r\nplace this potential perpetrator could have come from is traditional finance because i don\'t imagine anyone involved\r\n\r\n29:23\r\n\r\nin crypto would shoot themselves much less their crypto partners and clients in the foot by killing terror just to\r\n\r\n29:29\r\n\r\nmake a few billion bucks i also don\'t imagine anyone involved in crypto would want to draw the attention\r\n\r\n29:35\r\n\r\nof regulators by destroying a decentralized stablecoin as far as i know the only people who want aggressive\r\n\r\n29:42\r\n\r\ncrypto regulation work in or work closely with entities in traditional\r\n\r\n29:47\r\n\r\nfinance this is where the coincidences come in and the first one is that the federal\r\n\r\n29:53\r\n\r\nreserve mentioned the risks of stablecoin runs in its financial stability report which was released on\r\n\r\n30:00\r\n\r\nthe monday after terror began collapsing if you ask me this really was just a\r\n\r\n30:05\r\n\r\ncoincidence the second coincidence is much harder to explain away however and that\'s that\r\n\r\n30:11\r\n\r\ntreasury secretary janet yellen mentioned terra\'s collapse in her testimony to u.s politicians on the\r\n\r\n30:18\r\n\r\nwednesday now i find it hard to believe that word of tara\'s d-pegging had reached her so\r\n\r\n30:24\r\n\r\nquickly unless someone she knew was following terra\'s dynamics closely but still probably just another coincidence\r\n\r\n30:33\r\n\r\nthe third coincidence is more like circumstantial evidence and that\'s the fact that tethers usdt stablecoin also\r\n\r\n30:40\r\n\r\nbriefly fell below its peg and that this is something janet also mentioned in her testimony on the thursday\r\n\r\n30:47\r\n\r\nthis can be easily explained away by the fears that the regulatory crackdown on stable coins will likely affect tether\r\n\r\n30:53\r\n\r\nas it operates outside of the united states and hasn\'t exactly been all that transparent about the reserves backing\r\n\r\n30:59\r\n\r\nusdt for what it\'s worth tether has reportedly redeemed over 9 billion usdt\r\n\r\n31:06\r\n\r\nover the last week or so with no issues interestingly the market cap of circles\r\n\r\n31:11\r\n\r\nusdc increased by about 4 billion over the same period and busds by 2 billion a\r\n\r\n31:18\r\n\r\nflight to safety i suppose the fourth coincidence is closer to concrete evidence and that\'s the timing\r\n\r\n31:25\r\n\r\nof this supposed attack the fact that someone knew exactly when the terror team would be pulling ust out\r\n\r\n31:31\r\n\r\nof curve finance seems to be the strongest evidence that this was an attack from someone somewhere as this\r\n\r\n31:39\r\n\r\ninformation was not publicly known the events that unfolded afterwards could have been nothing more than\r\n\r\n31:45\r\n\r\nvarious market participants taking advantage of terra\'s downfall be they from wall street or main street\r\n\r\n31:52\r\n\r\nstill there\'s no denying that this dented the crypto industry and the legacy financial system especially the\r\n\r\n31:59\r\n\r\nus dollar itself can and likely will do everything within its power to ensure\r\n\r\n32:04\r\n\r\nthat it\'s not replaced by crypto or anything else consider for a moment that terror was\r\n\r\n32:10\r\n\r\nbuilding a decentralized stable coin backed by digital gold that might just\r\n\r\n32:15\r\n\r\nbe the greatest middle finger to the financial system anyone can raise\r\n\r\n32:21\r\n\r\nnow to wrap things up i want to talk a bit about terra\'s future which is currently uncertain the latest news is\r\n\r\n32:27\r\n\r\nthat terra is probably going to fork with the old terror chain being known as terra classic and the new terror chain\r\n\r\n32:34\r\n\r\nretaining the original name but with no algorithmic stable coins terra co-founder do kwan is behind this\r\n\r\n32:40\r\n\r\nrecovery plan and he noted on twitter that a snapshot of terra\'s current blockchain will be taken next friday the\r\n\r\n32:47\r\n\r\n27th of may and those with luna and ust in their wallet at that time will\r\n\r\n32:52\r\n\r\nreceive a portion of luna\'s new supply if i understand correctly the initial\r\n\r\n32:58\r\n\r\nsupply of new luna will be the same as the initial supply of old luna which is 1 billion and it will be distributed as\r\n\r\n33:05\r\n\r\nfollows 25 to the community pool 35 to holders of luna prior to terrace\r\n\r\n33:12\r\n\r\ncollapse 10 to the holders of aust prior to terrorist collapse and you\'ll recall\r\n\r\n33:17\r\n\r\naust is the token receipt you get when you deposit ust into the anchor protocol\r\n\r\n33:23\r\n\r\n10 to holders of luna after terra\'s collapse and 20 to ust holders after terra\'s\r\n\r\n33:30\r\n\r\ncollapse i\'ll leave a link to the details in the description that describe the exact vesting schedule and all of that fun\r\n\r\n33:36\r\n\r\nstuff dokwan\'s terrafork proposal is currently being voted on and so far it looks like\r\n\r\n33:42\r\n\r\nit\'s likely to pass even if it doesn\'t pass a terror fork of some kind is the most likely outcome and\r\n\r\n33:48\r\n\r\nthat\'s for one simple reason exit liquidity as you can imagine everyone who was close to terror when it exploded\r\n\r\n33:55\r\n\r\nis desperate to get their money back and forking terra\'s blockchain is probably their best bet to that end even if it\'s\r\n\r\n34:01\r\n\r\nnot ideal by any stretch not only that but our source in the terra community told us that most of the\r\n\r\n34:08\r\n\r\nprojects building on terror were actually staking their treasuries on the anchor protocol to get more money for\r\n\r\n34:14\r\n\r\ndevelopment this means that most of terra\'s projects are unlikely to go anywhere for the time\r\n\r\n34:20\r\n\r\nbeing simply because they are waiting in line to get their scraps from the new terra blockchain too\r\n\r\n34:26\r\n\r\nif you\'re wondering why most of terra\'s projects don\'t start building on other blockchains in the interim the answer is\r\n\r\n34:32\r\n\r\napparently juan himself doe was famous for being bombastic to put it mildly he frequently ragged on\r\n\r\n34:39\r\n\r\nother crypto projects he saw as competitors and routinely shot down terrorist critics even when they clearly\r\n\r\n34:45\r\n\r\nhad a point while doe\'s powerful personality made terror a powerful project it also made\r\n\r\n34:51\r\n\r\nhim many enemies and it\'s even possible that one of them was behind the attack on terror\'s curve finance migration\r\n\r\n34:58\r\n\r\nmoreover the consensus in the terror community seems to be that dokwan\'s godlike position in the project\'s\r\n\r\n35:04\r\n\r\necosystem clouded his judgment on more than one occasion and there\'s certainly a discussion to be had there\r\n\r\n35:10\r\n\r\nnever mind that whole thing about his involvement in basis cash the bigger problem is doe\'s continued\r\n\r\n35:17\r\n\r\naffiliation with terror specifically his involvement in the creation of terror\'s new blockchain and the fact that it\'s\r\n\r\n35:23\r\n\r\nguaranteed to alienate vcs angel investors and rational retail investors\r\n\r\n35:29\r\n\r\nwho aren\'t fans of dough and that list seems to be growing by the day\r\n\r\n35:34\r\n\r\nthe real tragedy is that it looks like terrors developers projects and communities will have to keep following\r\n\r\n35:40\r\n\r\nhis footsteps regardless of where they lead because it\'s the only hope they really have at getting some of their\r\n\r\n35:46\r\n\r\nmoney back if and when they do i suspect that the cosmos ecosystem will see an explosion\r\n\r\n35:53\r\n\r\nin growth and development because at the end of the day there\'s no denying that terror had some of the best developers\r\n\r\n35:59\r\n\r\nand easily one of the best communities in crypto and they will succeed where\r\n\r\n36:05\r\n\r\nterror failed and that\'s

Websites</strong></h2>\r\n<strong>So what are the Unstoppable blockchain Domains and Uncensorable Websites?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Unstoppable Domains (opens in a new tab)\">Unstoppable Domains</a></strong> or just Blockchain domain names are like regular domains, such as .com and .org. However, the main difference is, unlike with regular domains that are controlled by the international ICANN corporation, can be seized and shut down by the government, Blockchain domain names exist only in the blockchain and cannot be controlled or seized by force.\r\n\r\nInstead, the Blockchain domain names act as a regular crypto wallet, only a person with a private key can access and control the domain name. Blockchain Domains give power back to people just like Bitcoin does.\r\n\r\nEssentially Blockchain Domain does two main things.\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>It helps to simplify cryptocurrency transactions using human-readable addresses.</li>\r\n 	<li>It can be used to create decentralized uncensorable websites that exist on the blockchain.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h3>So what are human-readable addresses?</h3>\r\nHuman readable addresses make it possible for users to send and receive coins without having to remember long strings of numbers and letters. Instead, users can use simple domains such as <strong>bitshills.crypto</strong> to receive all cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and many others in one unified address.\r\n\r\nThe idea drastically simplifies sending and receiving cryptocurrencies while simultaneously protects user privacy.\r\n<h3>What are decentralized uncensorable websites?</h3>\r\nOn top of simplifying transactions, blockchain domain names can be used to create uncensorable decentralized websites that are immune from government interference. To create permanently hosted website blockchain domains use something called IPFS, which makes it possible to spread files across multiple locations in a decentralized fashion, similar to BitTorrent. So even if one server is taken down the content will still be accessible.\r\n<h3>Getting started with Blockchain Domains.</h3>\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125095040-330x270-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125095040-330x270-1.png 330w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125095040-330x270-1-300x245.png 300w\" alt=\"Unstoppable Domains - Cart\" width=\"330\" height=\"270\" /></a></figure>\r\nTo get started you first need to visit the Unstoppable Domain <a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"website (opens in a new tab)\">website</a>, and obtain the blockchain domain. There are two ways you can do this, either by free claiming protected brand names like facebook.crypto, and bitshills.crypto. The second way is to purchase your very own unique blockchain domain from an open market.\r\n\r\n<strong>Note that only verified brand owners can free claim these protected domain names.</strong>\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124091747-705x790-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124091747-705x790-1.png 705w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124091747-705x790-1-268x300.png 268w\" alt=\"Unstoppable Domains - Protected Brands\" width=\"705\" height=\"790\" /></a></figure>\r\nAfter you have obtained (.crypto) domain and you can see it in your account, you’ll need to claim the ownership of the domain so that it belongs to only you.\r\n\r\nTo do this you will have to connect your unstoppable domains account with metamask and sign the domain with your public key.\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064006-692x81-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064006-692x81-1.png 692w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064006-692x81-1-300x35.png 300w\" alt=\"Pending Claim\" width=\"692\" height=\"81\" /></a></figure>\r\nOnce the domain is claimed using Ethereum public keys, you will be able to verify the domain through blockchain and it becomes manageable.\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125070249-693x84-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125070249-693x84-1.png 693w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125070249-693x84-1-300x36.png 300w\" alt=\"Manage\" width=\"693\" height=\"84\" /></a></figure>\r\nAfter you have claimed the ownership and can manage the domain, you’ll be able to directly control witch cryptocurrency addresses it is connected with, and you can also add a permanent email to the domain that will become visible on the blockchain.\r\n\r\nNote that cryptocurrency addresses connected to the blockchain domains are on the front end hidden from the public, however, someone viewing the blockchain itself can reveal the separate cryptocurrency addresses the domain is identified with.\r\n\r\nOn top of BTC, ETH, ZIL, and LTC blockchain domain can also be connected to over 50+ different cryptocurrencies such as BNB, DASH, XRM, and ZEC.\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064744-673x525-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064744-673x525-1.png 673w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064744-673x525-1-300x234.png 300w\" alt=\"Add Cryptocurrency Addresses\" width=\"673\" height=\"525\" /></a></figure>\r\nAt the time of writing, there are at least over 14 different cryptocurrency wallets that can be used to send and receive different cryptocurrencies using human-readable blockchain domain addresses. And of course, more are constantly being implemented as the public becomes more aware of the possibilities of this technology.\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064907-329x476-2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064907-329x476-2.png 329w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200124064907-329x476-2-207x300.png 207w\" alt=\"Blockchain domain wallets\" width=\"317\" height=\"459\" /></a></figure>\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/landing-gif-1.gif\" alt=\"Unstoppable Domains\" width=\"473\" height=\"473\" /></a></figure>\r\nBlockchain domain can drastically help users when sending Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because you will only require one name for all of your wallets. Sending cryptocurrencies, therefore, becomes much like sending a simple email message.\r\n\r\nThe technology can even eliminate the need for QR code scanning since reading those is not always 100 percent accurate either.\r\n<h3>Censorship-resistant decentralized websites</h3>\r\nUnstoppable Domains don’t just help the general public to manage and interact with different cryptocurrencies more easily, but they are also highly interested in providing censorship-resistant decentralized websites.\r\n\r\nWhile traditional websites are stored and operated on your behalf by multiple corporations such as ICANN, Google and so on, censorship-resistant websites are completely owned and controlled by the owner of the domain.\r\n\r\nHowever, just like cryptocurrencies, this brings great responsibility for the end-user, because no one, not law enforcement or even Unstoppable Domains can control or seize access to the content of the domain without having first access to the private keys.\r\n\r\nThis also means that the information and content of the domain remain private to the extent of the owner choosing to give away information. Basically, with the right management, it is possibly very hard to track an individual behind the data website provides.\r\n<h4>Launching a decentralized website</h4>\r\nTo get started with launching a decentralized website is fairly simple, all you need is the blockchain domain and a website with content on it.\r\n\r\nYou will then upload the website content in HTML format on IPFS using a service like <a href=\"https://pinata.cloud/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pinata (opens in a new tab)\">Pinata</a>.\r\n\r\nOnce you have uploaded the content on Pinata you can grab the hash of the HTML content and bring it on the Unstoppable Domains, then confirm the changes with a simple transaction.\r\n\r\nYou can view websites and different content on IPFS from <a href=\"https://viewblock.io/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"viewblock.io (opens in a new tab)\">Viewblock</a>.\r\n<figure><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125075748-671x254-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" srcset=\"https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125075748-671x254-1.png 671w, https://bitshills.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screenshot-20200125075748-671x254-1-300x114.png 300w\" alt=\"Unstoppable Domains - IPFS\" width=\"671\" height=\"254\" /></a></figure>\r\n<h3>So Should you get Unstoppable Domains?</h3>\r\nBlockchain Domains certainly have brought a new interesting idea to the surface being able to easily send and receive cryptocurrencies, and host decentralized websites on the blockchain definitely have its advantages.\r\n\r\nOn top of this Unstoppable Domains have recently announced that they did secure US$4 million in funding led by The Draper Associated and Boost VC, one of the major blockchain and cryptocurrency market movers.\r\n\r\nHowever, Unstoppable Domains as an organization probably won’t be the only one working on this, and it’s hard to predict the future, you never know which projects get adopted beforehand. That being said, at very least having your own unique domain that no one can seize from you is worth investigating, because having control over your own life is always admirable.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://bitshills.com/UnstoppableDomains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Get your .crypto Blockchain Domain.

Although Beam uses the same Unspent Transaction Output model as Bitcoin, Beam’s values are encrypted by so-called “blinding factors,” giving it an extra level of security.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/economy-explained-what-are-altcoins-and-should-you-invest-in-them/?utm_campaign=1106786&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=5&amp;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:What Are Altcoins — and Are the Potential Rewards Worth the Risks?\">What Are Altcoins — and Are the Potential Rewards Worth the Risks?</a></strong></em>\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/p2k9ysOSUUPbuquCrzxWAA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/_jQcXH9Z6jaf7gIABQyJbA--~B/aD0zODA7dz02NzU7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/gobankingrates_644/35fbea00b6636a0c4881c7aa32c6250b\" alt=\"\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\" /></figure>\r\n<h2><strong>Grin (GRIN)</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coin price as of June 8: </strong>$0.36</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nGrin uses the same MimbleWimble technology as Beam, and it is similarly focused on user and transaction privacy. To help ensure privacy, Grin doesn’t use amounts or addresses. To hide the origins of transactions, it first travels among a subset of peers before it is broadcasted. In other words, all transactions appear to be randomized to any outsiders looking in at the data. Grin leverages the cryptography of Mimblewimble to allow prior transaction data to be removed, which, according to its creators, prevents Grin from collapsing under the weight of too much data kept on its chain. In plain English, Grin’s network is compact, easy to download and verify, and is completely anonymous thanks to the removal of certain transaction information.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Find Out: <a href=\"https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/economy-explained-breaking-down-cryptocurrency/?utm_campaign=1106786&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=6&amp;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:Breaking Down the Basics of Cryptocurrency\">Breaking Down the Basics of Cryptocurrency</a></strong></em>\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/tnSfc6j8Uj.YC.XFGo2YuQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/uHp7raqJGE_jQ7FSvWY8Fg--~B/aD0zODA7dz02NzU7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/gobankingrates_644/498b0b47e3ebbbd818381d9ec15c5ad1\" alt=\"Close-up photo of a woman buying cryptocurrency through a smart phone app that is also showing the growth graph.\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\" /><figcaption data-id=\"m-2\">Close-up photo of a woman buying cryptocurrency through a smart phone app that is also showing the growth graph.</figcaption></figure>\r\n<h2><strong>Verge Currency (XVG)</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coin price as of June 8: </strong>$0.0321</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nVerge Currency was created in 2014 under the name DogeCoinDark.

The purpose of the masternodes is to functionalities such as PrivateSend and InstantSend, which provide both untraceable and anonymous transactions. DASH, created in 2014, was the first private cryptocurrency.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Check Out: </strong></em><em><strong><a href=\"https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/ethereum-what-it-is-what-its-worth-and-should-you-be-investing/?utm_campaign=1106786&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=10&amp;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ethereum (ETH): What It Is, What It’s Worth and Should You Be Investing?\">Ethereum (ETH): What It Is, What It’s Worth and Should You Be Investing?</a></strong></em>\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/gs5cWlxeQj2EbJUsx8KMVw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/YUZWDaylXYTkvAUZ5XiNDQ--~B/aD0zODA7dz02NzU7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/gobankingrates_644/0725d07ff512200f5f7405b4a3653a15\" alt=\"bitcoin and US fiat currency\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\" /><figcaption data-id=\"m-6\">bitcoin and US fiat currency</figcaption></figure>\r\n<h2><strong>ZCash (ZEC)</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coin price as of June 8: </strong>$131.95</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf you\'re an Edward Snowden fan when it comes to privacy, you might want to take a look at ZCash. In 2017, the infamous whistleblower came out in support of ZCash as \"the most interesting alternative\" to Bitcoin. As with some other coins, ZCash offers two types of transactions: shielded and transparent. ZCash offers enhanced privacy via \"zk-SNARKS,\" which stands for \"zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge.\" Although complicated, what matters to the average user is that ZCash tries to improve on the Bitcoin blockchain with enhanced security measures and supports fast block times, low fees and large block sizes.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Read: </strong></em><em><strong><a href=\"https://www.gobankingrates.com/investing/crypto/best-cryptocurrency-to-invest-in/?utm_campaign=1106786&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_content=11&amp;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:10 Best Cryptocurrencies To Invest in for 2021\">10 Best Cryptocurrencies To Invest in for 2021</a></strong></em>\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/ikyDny3ynpfxClnlZRPZWQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/tm669xiPGebIfijK1t2v.A--~B/aD0zODA7dz02NzU7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/gobankingrates_644/78005bffc3a05c1d67223e13e46081db\" alt=\"Programmer working late in his office.\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\" /><figcaption data-id=\"m-7\">Programmer working late in his office.</figcaption></figure>\r\n<h2><strong>ByteCoin (BCN)</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Coin price as of June 8: </strong>$0.000445</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nByteCoin claims to be the \"first private untraceable cryptocurrency.\" The coin is powered by CryptoNote Technology, which creates untraceable payments, unlinkable transactions and a scalable blockchain.

However, some of the changes aren’t actually beneficial. There are many drawbacks to the widespread use of these typical social media platforms. For instance, spreading misinformation on social media because the platform lacks to moderate the content effectively. This has been observed recently in the COVID-19 outbreak that social media has allowed people to spread false news on different social media platforms. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) claims that this misinformation has some negative impact on the conversation about COVID-19 all over the world. Not only in the case of a pandemic but even before that, social media has been dealing with issues related to privacy, user control, censorship, political neutrality, and other miscellaneous activity resulting in riots.\r\n\r\nSo to overcome this problem, a decentralized Social network is implemented while developing the new social media applications using Blockchain Technology.\r\n<h2><b>What is Blockchain Social Media?</b></h2>\r\nAs technocrats and Blockchain experts continue to think about technology development, economic models, and freedom of speech, Blockchain has emerged as a viable solution for solving many issues, including social media.\r\n\r\nSocial media platforms have always been an entry point for establishing social communications for billions of people, and at present, platforms based on Blockchain technology are attracting a lot of public attention worldwide.\r\n\r\nBlockchain Social Media are nothing but decentralized platforms that allow the development of applications and smart contracts. The significant benefit of such platforms is that they offer end-to-end encryptions for every interaction enabling individuals to have more privacy and control over their information.  Blockchain Social media platforms provide some major benefits like In-platform transactions, Crowdfunding, and Rewarding their users with exclusive offers. We will discuss them in detail later in the article.\r\n<h3><b>Concerns Associated with Traditional Social Media Platforms</b></h3>\r\nIf you have been paying attention to the news, you must have heard a lot about social media threats. Traditional social media platforms have always been under the limelight due to their privacy and security concerns.\r\n\r\nUndoubtedly social media have changed the entire way of communication. Still, they have complete control over users’ data, and thus, they are able to control the Servers owned by any business that operates centralized social networking popular social media platforms track user activity. Not only this, such platforms sell the aggregated information in order to provide the highest bidder with more helpful targeting for their advertising and marketing purposes. Since all platforms such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, and others are centralized, they very well exploit the user’s content.\r\n<h3><b>How Technology Impacts Social Media? </b></h3>\r\nLet’s explore what happens when Blockchain is incorporated into social media platforms.\r\n<h2><b>Privacy of Information and Freedom of Expression </b></h2>\r\nUser privacy on social media platforms like Twitter, Whatsapp, Facebook, and others is a growing concern. This is because they are governed and monitored by centralized corporations. Having an account on these platforms means you are giving away your privacy rights in their hands. Moreover, content posted on such media platforms is also used frequently for political gains and to curb dissent.\r\n\r\nFor example, in July 2020, it was announced that the Twitter accounts of the most influential people in the world were hacked to a crypto-related scam. Prominent and high-profile accounts were targeted in the Twitter attack, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, George Wallace, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Wiz Khalifa, Warren Buffett, Mike Bloomberg, and Jeff Bezos.\r\n\r\nComing to Blockchain-based social media platforms ensures greater privacy and allows users’ right to express themselves freely. Distributed ledger technology enables users to make transactions privately as only the sender and recipient know about the transaction’s contents. Blockchain enables people to express their opinion without the risk of punishment.\r\n<h2><b>Let Users Permanently Save Their Content</b></h2>\r\nAs we already mentioned, traditional social media platforms are centralized, meaning people’s data is not in their hands. Anyone can edit the shared information or can even delete it permanently without users’ consent.\r\n\r\nBlockchain has introduced ‘Minds,’ a decentralized social media platform allowing users to permanently save their content, ensuring that nobody can ever delete it once published. With Minds, users can publish their content on the “permaweb” with no additional setup required.\r\n\r\nMinds CEO Bill Ottman ensures that the platform provides optionality to the users, explaining that users may delete all previous activity traces if they so chose to. Ottman believes that Blockchain is just an inevitable evolution, and immutable ledger will be more common in the years to come.\r\n<h2><b>Content Producers to Get Paid for Creating and Sharing Their Content</b></h2>\r\nApart from security and privacy, content producers on social media platforms are losing a significant amount of money due to the involvement of third-party intermediaries. Blockchain-based social media platforms allow users to have complete control over where and how their content can be distributed. The distribution capability gives them the improved capacity to profit from the production of passive income.\r\n\r\nNot only this, such decentralized platforms reward users for posting on their networks. This phenomenon is similar to most blockchain ecosystems, as rewards come from the network’s native cryptocurrency.\r\n<h3><b>What Blockchain Contributes to Social Media? </b></h3>\r\nAs discussed above, centralized social media platforms lack many things. Therefore, blockchain provides solutions to overcome those challenges. Let us discuss the basic concepts that are required to create a better social media network.\r\n\r\n<b>Open-source code: </b>With blockchain technology, it is possible to keep an open-source code. This will have the advantage of inspecting the data algorithms.\r\n\r\n<b>Decentralized control: </b>With blockchain technology, decentralization can be implemented. This will allow removing the centralization through the network, and no company or government will be liable to take action.\r\n\r\n<b>Democratic decision:</b> It is the optimum choice of everyone to have a democratic system. So why not social media also adapt to the network structure will allow everyone to make decisions democratically. If this is not achieved, then social media networks can be split into multiple ones just like bitcoin, Linux, and ethereum. They all have Y-shaped multiple versions.\r\n\r\n<b>Explainable AI: </b>Including blockchain networks into social networks resulting in implementing explainable Artificial intelligence(AI) could be a considerable step towards digital transformation. This system has the ability to explain the reasons behind every judgment.\r\n<h3><b>What are Decentralized Social Networks?</b></h3>\r\nTo understand blockchain social media in a better way, let’s know the meaning of decentralized social networks. All the blockchain social media networks come under decentralized social networks. Here, the data is not controlled by any central authority or government organization. Data will only be served as per the wish of the user i,e, on the user’s request. This storing of data into different servers independently with high security.\r\n\r\nServers owned by any business operate a centralized social network. Now with decentralization, data can be stored in any part of the world. It will not be stored in a centralized network. It provides transparency and high security with more control to users. With decentralizing techniques, a user can determine how it operates and what users can say. A set of terms can be established by the federal social network, which is acceptable by the users. So, in short, no company or organization has to handle the monitoring of the site behavior. Users can do that in a decentralized social network.\r\n<h3><b>Pros of Decentralized Social Platforms</b></h3>\r\nNow we have been talking a lot about decentralization in social media platforms, but why are we choosing it? Let us find out its benefits:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">With Decentralized networks, unethical usage of users’ data can be prevented.</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Blockchain technology uses cryptography to protect the interactions between users, which results in data security and privacy.</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">As there is no central authority, the usage of data is controlled by the users themselves, resulting in freedom of expression. So, users can control what they can publish and what not to.</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Blockchain’s top application, Cryptocurrency, helps in crowdfunding, and it has a lot of scope in the future.</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Content moderation is the drawback in the present trending social media platforms, which is overcome by the Decentralized social networks. So, this is the main advantage of using a blockchain-based social media application. Also, the open-source nature is the reason behind achieving this creation of private servers that allows content moderation and content sharing to be more efficient.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<b>Top Blockchain Social Networks to Watch Out </b>\r\n\r\nWell, we have already learned a lot of benefits that Blockchain-based social media platforms offer. Now, let’s enlist some of the blockchain-based platforms that can replace the most popular social media platforms that we are using on a daily basis.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">WhatsApp – <a href=\"https://www.signal.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Signal</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Facebook – <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/subscriptions\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Minds</a>, <a href=\"https://diasporafoundation.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Diaspora</a>, <a href=\"https://mewe.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">MeWe</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">YouTube – Minds, <a href=\"https://lbry.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">LBRY</a>, <a href=\"https://d.tube/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">D.Tube</a>, <a href=\"https://joinpeertube.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">PeerTube</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Instagram – Karma (Mobile-only app)</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Reddit – <a href=\"https://getaether.net/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Aether</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Twitter – <a href=\"https://joinmastodon.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Mastodon</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHowever, the list is not limited; many more social media platforms are available right now, and many more are still in the development stage. They offer some exciting advantages and high security as compared to centralized social media.\r\n\r\nOther Networking Apps Created using Blockchain technology:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://all.me/?form=sign_up\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">All.me</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://memo.cash/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Memo</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://steemit.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Steemit</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://peepeth.com/welcome\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Peepeth</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://www.sapien.network/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Sapien</a></li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https://socialx.network/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">SocialX</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><b>The Future Blockchain-based Applications </b></h3>\r\nPredicting success is not always easy, especially the ricks surrounding technology and social media. The challenges that it could face include user adoption rate, ownership-accountability model, and competition with existing big social media platforms. However, some uncertainties can be overcome using decentralized applications. The following things can be accomplished and required in digital technology, which can only be possible using blockchain-based applications.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">The blockchain-based application serves the purpose of users’ interest before the business. So, in the near future, these applications will be controlled by the users.</li>\r\n 	<li aria-level=\"1\">Also, the significant change which can be included in the decentralized applications is the increasing adoption of financial services.

In that announcement, I also warned that this was an engineered collapse of the food supply, where rail carriers were essentially being ordered to drop certain loads in order to maximize the coming wave of food scarcity and famine.</p><p>Now, devastating news from CF Industries — one of the largest fertilizer producers in the world — confirms <strong>the engineered food collapse plan is being expanded to include fertilizer shipments</strong>.</p><p>According to an <a href=\"https://www.cfindustries.com/newsroom/2022/union-pacific-shipping-restrictions\">April 14th announcement from CF Industries</a>, Union Pacific is halting the delivery of fertilizer shipments right in the middle of peak planting season for farmers. CF Industries warns that, “railroad-mandated shipping reductions [will] result in nitrogen fertilizer shipment delays during the spring application season and that it [will] be unable to accept new rail sales involving Union Pacific for the foreseeable future.”</p><p>Even more alarmingly, CF Industries warns that, “it is one of only 30 companies to face these restrictions.”</p><p>This means that Union Pacific is essentially dropping fertilizer shipments and grain shipments all across America. Put another way, <strong>America’s food infrastructure is being deliberately shut down</strong>.</p><p>The implications of this are nothing short of catastrophic. It affects not just fertilizer but also DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) which is necessary for all tractors, transportation trucks, construction equipment and other machinery that use diesel engines. As CF Industries explains:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.brighteon.tv/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https://www.naturalnews.com/images/BrighteonTV-WatchLiveShows.jpg\" alt=\"Brighteon.TV\" /></a></p><p><em>CF Industries ships to customers via Union Pacific rail lines primarily from its Donaldsonville Complex in Louisiana and its Port Neal Complex in Iowa. The rail lines serve key agricultural areas such as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and California. Products that will be affected include nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) as well as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), an emissions control product required for diesel trucks. CF Industries is the largest producer of urea, UAN and DEF in North America, and its Donaldsonville Complex is the largest single production facility for the products in North America.</em></p><p>Without DEF, you can’t run tractors. And to the “Green New Deal” lunatics who think that halting all diesel engines will magically make the world green (while they absurdly try to suck all the CO2 out of the atmosphere, which will kill all plants, by the way), you’re about to experience the starvation, chaos and violence that comes from shutting down agriculture. Good luck to all.</p><p><iframe src=\"https://www.brighteon.com/embed/ae38f6a1-c5a5-4e5c-93e6-98de9c31dda7\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"https://www.brighteon.com/embed/ae38f6a1-c5a5-4e5c-93e6-98de9c31dda7\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></p><h2><strong>Spring crops will FAIL across North America if they don’t get nitrogen</strong></h2><p>This engineered halting of fertilizer shipments appears to be timed to severely disrupt spring planting across North America. This is consistent with what we have all observed with Joe Biden’s deliberate shutdown of America’s energy infrastructure which began on day one of Biden’s fake “presidency” when he signed a stack of executive orders shutting down energy pipelines.</p><p>From that very first day, Joe Biden and his handlers (Obama) have been meticulously deconstructing America’s food and energy infrastructure, causing shortages and price inflation. Yet as prices and scarcity both continue to worsen, Jen Psaki says it’s all “Putin’s fault” as a convenient cover story.</p><p>The truth is that <strong>fake president Joe Biden is trying to plunge America into mass starvation, food riots and chaos</strong>. The shutting down of energy, food and fertilizer transportation is just one small part of this nefarious plan.</p><p>CF Industries president Tony Will reveals how fertilizer is being selectively targeted:</p><p><em>“The timing of this action by Union Pacific could not come at a worse time for farmers,” said Tony Will, president and chief executive officer, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. “Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all. <strong>By placing this arbitrary restriction on just a handful of shippers</strong>, Union Pacific is jeopardizing farmers’ harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers.”</em></p><p>In the understatement of the year, CF Industries also points out that without nitrogen fertilizer, crop yields “will be lower,” saying:</p><p><em>The application of nitrogen fertilizer is critical to maximizing crop yields. If farmers are unable to secure all the nitrogen fertilizer that they require in the current season because of supply chain disruptions such as rail shipping restrictions, the Company expects yield will be lower. This will likely extend the timeline to replenish global grains stocks.</em></p><p>In truth, without nitrogen fertilizer, crop yields will be nothing short of catastrophic.</p><p>Perhaps that’s why <strong>China has been buying up all the grain supplies around the world</strong>, stockpiling like mad in anticipation of a global food collapse that’s being engineered.</p><h2><strong>A perfect storm of black swan events spell FOOD DOOM on a global scale</strong></h2><p>If 2020 – 2021 was the “covid” chapter of global collapse, 2022 – 2023 is going to be the “famine” chapter. A convergence of black swan events is spelling out the absolute certainty of global food scarcity and mass famine. Some of those events include:</p><ul><li>The unleashing of economic sanctions against Russia, halting Russia’s ability to export fertilizer and food crops such as wheat.</li><li>The Grand Solar Minimum sun cycle is producing lower levels of solar radiation that will reach the surface of the Earth for the next several years, leading to global crop failures (and, historically, the fall of nations and empires).</li><li>Unbounded money printing by the Federal Reserve, leading to rapid devaluation / collapse of the value of the dollar vs. food.</li><li>Skyrocketing food inflation, <a href=\"http://foodsupply.news/2022-04-10-food-inflation-soars-corporate-media-blames-putin.html\">which the UN’s FAO now puts at 12.6% <em>month over month</em></a>, means food prices will double every six months at this rate of inflation.</li><li>US government programs that are paying farmers to destroy crops, deliberately contributing to food scarcity.</li><li>Skyrocketing diesel fuel prices, which raise the cost of inputs for farming because farms run on diesel equipment. Transportation of crops is also carried out by diesel trucks.</li><li>Climate change lunatics are trying to <em>remove</em> CO2 from the atmosphere, which will starve food crops and devastate global yields, since CO2 is the key nutrient that plants need to grow (even more than they need nitrogen).</li></ul><p>The upshot of all this is abundantly clear:</p><ul><li>Accelerating food inflation. Food prices will, without question, <strong>double by the end of 2022</strong> and may actually go much higher. Food prices will almost certainly <strong>double again in 2023</strong>.</li><li>As food prices skyrocket, <strong>food riots will break out worldwide</strong>. This has already begun in Sri Lanka, Peru and other nations, and it will only spread globally.</li><li>Later in 2022, food riots will break out in the USA, first appearing in democrat-run “blue” cities and then spreading.</li><li>In 2023, we are certain to see <strong>food rationing</strong> and <strong>price controls</strong> both demanded and enforced by governments around the world, including the US government.</li><li>Widespread food insecurity will lead to <strong>global uprisings and revolutions</strong>. Nations will fall. Sri Lanka is already in default on its dollar bonds and facing the toppling of its political leadership, and we’re not even out of April yet.</li><li>In response to the rising chaos, <strong>governments will declare national emergencies</strong> and roll out police state controls to try to control the masses. China’s brutal lockdown of 25+ million people in Shanghai is an early preview of things to come on a global scale.</li></ul><p>Most importantly, <strong>people who do not have alternative sources of food will likely starve</strong>. This means you either need to <em>store</em> food or learn how to <em>grow</em> food. Ideally, you’ll have capabilities in both categories. This is what’s going to keep you alive.</p><p>I understand there are some people who, when faced with this bad news, resort to saying things like, “I can’t handle any more bad news. I choose to pretend that the food supply will be fine.” To those people, I would beg you to reconsider your stance, because <strong>you can’t pretend to be not starving when you are starving</strong>. The food scarcity will shock people back to reality if they’ve been living in a delusional dream world. (There’s no such thing as transstarvationism, just like there’s no such thing as transgenderism. You can’t actually change your gender, and you can’t actually live without eating.)</p><p>Anyone who chooses to ignore this engineered food collapse will likely starve.</p><h2><strong>Some interviews and podcasts you need to hear</strong></h2><p>For starters, listen to my recent interview with Ben Davidson, an expert on space weather who warns about the effects of solar cycles on crops:</p><p><a href=\"http://brighteon.com/2f952e89-f601-4a11-91a8-b6918a36c0a4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brighteon.com/2f952e89-f601-4a11-91a8-b6918a36c0a4</a></p><p><iframe src=\"https://www.brighteon.com/embed/2f952e89-f601-4a11-91a8-b6918a36c0a4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></p><p>David DuByne’s interview was also extremely informative, where he covered the effects of the Grand Solar Minimum on crop yields, warning about famine cycles throughout history:</p><p><a href=\"http://brighteon.com/a18d3842-af07-433c-b9ba-676fbc25c13d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brighteon.com/a18d3842-af07-433c-b9ba-676fbc25c13d</a></p><p><iframe src=\"https://www.brighteon.com/embed/a18d3842-af07-433c-b9ba-676fbc25c13d\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"></iframe></p><p>I don’t have a recent interview with him, but the <strong>Ice Age Farmer</strong> is also offering excellent analysis of the food scarcity situation.

Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology—a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are generally not issued by any central authority, rendering them theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation. Ethereum is a platform powered by blockchain technology that is best known for its native cryptocurrency—called Ether or ETH or simply Ethereum. The distributed nature of blockchain technology is what makes the Ethereum platform secure, and that security enables ETH to accrue value. The Ethereum platform supports Ether in addition to a network of decentralized apps, otherwise known as \"dApps.\" Smart contracts, which originated on the Ethereum platform, are a central component of how the platform operates. Many decentralized finance (DeFi) and other applications use smart contracts in conjunction with blockchain technology. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bitcoin\">#bitcoin</a> <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ethereum\">#ethereum</a> <a dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/crypto\">#crypto</a><p style=\"text-align: center;\">[the_ad id=\"5947\"]</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>OPEN A FREE ACCOUNT</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Click On Image</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">[the_ad id=\"2139\"]</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PROFIT FROM THE COMING STOCK MARKET MELTDOWN BY SHORTING THE S&amp;P 500</strong></p><h3><strong>Elon Musk Cathie Wood Jack Dorsey Price Prediction BTC ETH</strong></h3><p>BROUGHT TO YOU BY:</p><p><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://cryptogrizz.com\"><em><strong>CryptoGrizz.com</strong></em></a></p><p><img src=\"https://cryptogrizz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Crypto-Grizz_adobespark-300x300.png\" alt=\"Elon Musk Cathie Wood Jack Dorsey Price Prediction BTC ETH\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></p><h3>VISIT OUR OTHER SITES:</h3><p><b>Check Out Our Crypto Privacy Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizz.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizz.com</i></b></a></p><p><b>Check Out Our Crypto Trading Site: </b><a href=\"http://cryptogrizztrader.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzTrader</i>.com</b></a></p><p><b>Check Out Our Low Cap Altcoin Site:</b> <a href=\"https://cryptogrizzaltcoins.com/\"><b><i>CryptoGrizzAltcoins.com</i></b></a></p><p><b>Check Out Our Prepper Site: </b><a href=\"https://preppergrizz.com/\"><b><i>PrepperGrizz.com</i></b></a></p><p><b>Check Out Our Global Crypto Survival Site: </b><a href=\"https://globalcryptosurvival.com/\"><b><i>GlobalCryptoSurvival.com</i></b></a></p><p>I was about to post the video transcript just when Youtube took the video down !!!</p><h3><strong>POSTED BELOW - YOUTUBE TERMS OF SERVICE</strong></h3><h1><b>Terms of Service</b></h1><p>Dated: January 5, 2022</p><h1><b>TERMS OF SERVICE</b></h1><h1><b>Welcome to YouTube!</b></h1><p><b>Introduction<br /></b>Thank you for using the YouTube platform and the products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform (collectively, the “Service”).  </p><p><b>Our Service</b></p><p>The Service allows you to discover, watch and share videos and other content, provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe, and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.

Led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z <a href=\"https://coinrivet.com/dictionary/crypto/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crypto</a>), this $13 million financing round included participation from leading venture capital firms Digital Currency Group, Tayssir Capital, Huobi Ventures, Hashkey, and Fenbushi. Following a Polychain-led round and hiring Chelsea Manning as a security auditor, this round signals the interest of mainstream venture capital in the growing demand for privacy solutions.</p><p>Nym’s revolutionary “mixnet” is the only technology that can defeat nation-state level mass surveillance where the adversary can observe every internet packet in a network at scale, unlike VPNs or even Tor. Nym accomplishes this seemingly impossible feat by mixing packets in a series of decentralized nodes and adding dummy traffic as needed.</p><p>Per Harry Halpin, CEO of Nym, “We at Nym are very lucky, as it’s historically unprecedented to see support from the best venture capitalists to stop mass surveillance. To make privacy real on the scale of the entire internet, building a real-world working mixnet has long been the missing piece of a puzzle that predates even the origin of <a href=\"https://coinrivet.com/dictionary/bitcoin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin</a>.”</p><p>“Nym’s network-level technology is essential for any <a href=\"https://coinrivet.com/dictionary/blockchain/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blockchain</a> that strives to offer privacy for its users, and its clever incentive structures set it apart from other solutions,” said Ali Yahya, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. “Nym’s team may be the most advanced group of mixnet researchers and engineers ever assembled. As demand for online privacy continues to grow, their role in the space will become ever-more important.”</p><p>Samantha Bohbot, Head of Platform at Digital Currency Group shared this outlook, “NYM has built a first-of-its-kind privacy layer, capable of protecting against even the fiercest adversaries, and powered by a <a href=\"https://coinrivet.com/dictionary/crypto/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crypto</a> economic incentive structure. We envision its technology setting a new standard in user privacy across the internet. We are impressed by the team’s knowledge, passion, and dedication to developing a more secure web, and are excited to back them.”</p><p>Sadry Bouhejba, founder of Tayssir Capital, says “Nym network restores user privacy on the internet, without compromising on efficiency nor scalability. We believe Nym is an essential layer towards a more inclusive and fair society.”</p><p>With a fresh capital injection just before the platform’s decentralized mixnet mainnet launch, Nym Technologies plans to use the funds to expand its community and add a dedicated product team. Finally, Nym will roll out NYM tokenomics and begin stress-testing the infrastructure before scheduling the mainnet launch.</p><p><b>About Nym</b></p><p>Built by leading researchers and experienced developers, Nym is an open-source and decentralized infrastructure that offers full-stack privacy. The platform is permissionless and incentivized, empowering developers to build applications that guarantee security against metadata surveillance at the mixnet and credentials levels.</p><p> </p><h5>Contacts</h5><ul><li><strong>Jaya Klara Brekke</strong></li><li><strong>info@nymtech.net</strong></li><li><strong>+447957207802</strong></li></ul><p><strong>Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by the author should not be considered as financial advice.
