Welcome to The Bitcoin Street Journal Bitcoin Market Update podcast, your daily source for live updates on the bitcoin market. Join us as we delve into current bitcoin technical analysis, track bitcoin (BTC) prices, explore market capitalization trends, and analyze market supply. Stay ahead of the curve with our comprehensive coverage of the ever-evolving world of bitcoin. In today's episode, we'll cover the topics of creating a censorship-resistant social network without relying on central servers, the issues faced by Mastodon and SSB's complicated protocol, how Nostr uses clients and relays for censorship-resistance, the unique features that set Nostr apart from other social networks, and the process of finding people to follow in a Nostr social network.Hey there! Let me tell you about nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays. It's a super cool open protocol that aims to create a global "social" network that is resistant to censorship once and for all. And the best part? It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, making it resilient and secure. So how does it work? Well, it's all based on cryptographic keys and signatures, making it tamperproof. You and everyone else who wants to be part of nostr runs a client, which can be a native client or a web client. When you want to publish something, you simply write a post, sign it with your key, and send it to multiple relays. These relays are servers hosted by someone else or even yourself. Now, when you want to get updates from other people, you ask multiple relays if they know anything about these other people. The cool thing is that anyone can run a relay, and they're super simple and dumb - they accept posts from some people and forward them to others. And the best part is that you don't have to trust these relays. The client side verifies the signatures, ensuring that your messages aren't tampered with. Now, if you're eager to start using Nostr, there are a few handy resources you should check out. First, you'll find a Telegram group where you can join and get involved in the ongoing work. It's a great place to connect with others who are passionate about this project. If you're wondering about the features of the Nostr client, we have a nifty comparison chart to help you out. It highlights the different functionalities of the native and web clients, making it easier for you to choose the one that suits your needs. And to give you a taste of the awesomeness built on Nostr, there's a handy list of projects that have been developed using this open protocol. It's amazing to see the innovation and creativity that has sprung from this community. So why is Nostr needed anyway? Well, let's talk about the problems with Twitter. First and foremost, Twitter bombards us with ads. It can get pretty annoying when you're trying to scroll through your feed and all you see are sponsored posts. Nostr, on the other hand, focuses on providing a clean and uninterrupted user experience. Another issue with Twitter is its strange techniques to keep us addicted. The constant notifications, the algorithmic timeline, and the never-ending scroll - all designed to keep us hooked. Nostr takes a different approach, putting control back into the hands of the users. Today's episode covered the creation of a censorship-resistant social network using Nostr protocol, highlighting its advantages over Mastodon and SSB, the role of clients and relays, and the unique features that set Nostr apart, including spam prevention and user customization.

They believe that the SEC's actions have been too broad and sweeping, and that it's important to have a clear regulatory framework.Moving on, a decentralized finance (DeFi) startup called Ondo is expanding its market reach. They were the first company to tokenize U.S. Treasuries and now they want to go beyond the Ethereum mainnet. They're taking their yield-earning stablecoin alternative to Polygon, a popular blockchain network. By expanding to different networks, Ondo aims to reach a wider audience and provide more options for their users.Not your private keys not your bitcoin. Practice good OPSEC.

Welcome to The Bitcoin Street Journal Bitcoin Market Update podcast, your daily source for live updates on the bitcoin market. Join us as we delve into current bitcoin technical analysis, track bitcoin (BTC) prices, explore market capitalization trends, and analyze market supply. Stay ahead of the curve with our comprehensive coverage of the ever-evolving world of bitcoin. In today's episode, we'll cover topics such as the financial independence enabled by Bitcoin, its decentralization and inclusion in the global economy, the challenges it poses to traditional banking systems, recent news and regulatory actions, cryptocurrency market updates, technological advancements, NFT exhibits, and various global developments in the crypto space.Bitcoin, often hailed as a modern declaration of financial independence, holds profound significance for those who value freedom and autonomy. Just as the United States Declaration of Independence called for the American colonies to break away from Great Britain and establish themselves as an independent nation, the Bitcoin white paper declared a similar secession, this time from fiat currency and centralized banking systems.In the spirit of Independence Day, it is crucial to understand how Bitcoin protects freedom and autonomy for individuals. Firstly, Bitcoin operates as a decentralized currency, meaning it is not controlled by any single entity, such as a government or central bank. This decentralized nature ensures that no single authority has the power to manipulate or control the currency's value.Moreover, Bitcoin enables individuals to have full control over their financial transactions. With Bitcoin, you are your own bank. No longer do you need to rely on traditional banking systems that may impose restrictions, freeze assets, or charge exorbitant fees. Bitcoin empowers individuals to send and receive funds without any intermediaries, granting unrivaled financial sovereignty.One could draw parallels between the Bitcoin white paper and the United States Declaration of Independence. Both documents called for people to assert their authority and break free from oppressive systems. And just as the Declaration of Independence sought to establish a new nation built on principles of liberty, equality, and self-governance, the Bitcoin white paper aimed to create a financial system rooted in freedom and autonomy.

In today's episode, we'll cover Bitcoin mining's sustainability efforts, including the use of renewable energy sources, and the steps being taken to reduce its environmental impact, such as climate-friendly hardware and carbon footprint disclosure policies.Bitcoin mining, typically viewed in a negative light, is actually making strides towards becoming a more sustainable practice. In fact, it has the lowest emission intensity of any sector of the economy. The mining process uses a lot of energy, which has raised concerns about its impact on the environment. However, as renewable energy sources like hydropower, wind, and solar become more prevalent, miners are becoming more open to using them to power their operations. This shift towards green energy is evident in the increasing global share of renewable energy used in Bitcoin mining, which rose from 39% in January 2020 to almost 60% in early 2021. Mining giant F2Pool has taken a step further in adopting solar energy to power its operations, reducing energy costs by up to 70%. This is all part of a larger industry-wide initiative to focus on green energy resources and promote environmental sustainability.Are you curious about Bitcoin mining's environmental impact and how to minimize it? There are a few key ways that miners and companies can make a difference.First of all, by using climate-friendly hardware, like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, they can increase energy efficiency and reduce power usage. While most mining is still done with specialized ASIC machines, as USA Today reports, it's possible to use lower-power machines, as software developer Dave Conroy demonstrated with his 40-iPhone mining rig.Incentivizing renewable energy use is another important step. One idea proposed by Long Yuan, founder of HashCow Miner, would offer miners discounts on electricity rates from renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. By shifting away from fossil fuels, the Bitcoin industry could dramatically reduce its carbon footprint.Another action that could make a big difference is pushing for disclosure policies around carbon footprints. If companies had to publicly share their emissions data and electricity sources, it would encourage greater transparency and dialogue between miners and communities.The good news is that, as renewable energy gets cheaper and more available, more miners are choosing to use it. In fact, Bitcoin's current carbon emissions are estimated to be lower than some of the world's biggest banks and tech companies. As more miners follow their lead, and focus on responsible, sustainable practices, we can expect Bitcoin's environmental impact to continue decreasing.So while Bitcoin mining may have a reputation for being bad for the planet, a greener, more sustainable future is not only possible, it's already in the works.On today's episode, we discussed the sustainability of Bitcoin mining, including the industry's lower emission intensity and steps being taken to reduce its environmental impact through renewable energy sources, climate-friendly hardware, and carbon footprint disclosure policies.

EDX Markets has officially started its operations, bringing the best of Wall Street to a technology aimed at replacing it. Bitcoin has been making waves lately, with the volume of BTC traded relative to all other cryptocurrencies increasing from 25% to 32%. And if that's not enough, the new daily high for Bitcoin currently sits at $28,000! BlackRock's recent filing for a Bitcoin ETF has caught the attention of many, with GBTC trading volume spiking 400% in response. Plus, WisdomTree and Invesco have filed their own applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs. But it's not all good news in the world of crypto. Binance US's market share is evaporating, likely due to the SEC case looming over the exchange. And to make matters worse, there's a fake Trezor wallet in the Apple App Store that's been draining crypto from unsuspecting users. On a lighter note, have you seen the bizarre AI tools that you can try out in 2023? From Twitter bots roasting humans to AI cats, the possibilities are endless. And if you're a fan of NFTs, Slim Jim is giving away 10,000 free "GigaJims" on Polygon. There's also been some exciting news in the world of generative art. With the help of blockchain tools, platforms like Code Canvas and Art Blocks are allowing users to quickly mint high-quality NFTs. And if you're a fan of the age-old question, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" OpenAI's generative chatbot doesn't hesitate to give you an answer.Finally, if you're keeping a close eye on the Bitcoin market, you'll know that its price has exploded to $29K, leaving $150M liquidated along the way. But with Bitcoin soaring 12% weekly, it's hard not to get excited about its future potential.Hey there, let's talk about some interesting developments in the world of Bitcoin. It seems that CME, one of the biggest exchanges for Bitcoin futures trading, is experiencing very bullish action lately. Their basis has even pushed to yearly highs, which is definitely something to keep an eye on.Now, if you're holding onto your sats on an exchange, you might want to think twice. In fact, it's probably more risky to keep your Bitcoin on an exchange rather than risking a botched transaction. Why? Well, exchanges certainly don't want you to know all the risks associated with holding on their platform. They don't want you to know that Bitcoin on an exchange isn't actually real Bitcoin. It's just an IOU. Scary stuff, right?

Welcome to The Bitcoin Street Journal, your daily source for live market updates, technical analysis, and breaking news regarding Bitcoin. Stay up-to-date with the latest Bitcoin trends, market capitalization and supply, as well as financial and economic news by subscribing to our podcast. Join us on the journey through the world of Bitcoin and its impact on our daily lives. In today's episode, we'll cover the contradicting opinions of major banks on Bitcoin, and how they secretly invest in it through MicroStrategy.Hey there, today we're talking about an interesting topic that intersects finance, technology, and even regulatory issues. A new article sheds light on the dual and somewhat hypocritical position of major banks regarding Bitcoin. While they often dismiss Bitcoin as a dubious asset, they secretly invest in Bitcoin-focused companies, ultimately benefiting from its success. This is a significant paradox and raises questions about their authenticity and credibility in the eyes of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The Securities and Exchange Commission is going after the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, for operating in the United States without proper authorization, among other alleged violations. Meanwhile, BlackRock and Bank of America, two significant players in the financial world, have both acquired substantial stakes in MicroStrategy, a company invested mainly in Bitcoin. These actions, as we mentioned, contradict their public statements and cast doubt on their criticism of Bitcoin. Additionally, Standard Chartered Bank is another major player with a strong presence in Asia that has predicted Bitcoin's price to surge to $100,000 by 2024, despite downplaying its credibility. So it boils down to Bitcoin's double-edged perception, which opens up the debate of how traditional banking and cryptocurrencies will evolve and potentially merge.Banks' Bitcoin Hypocrisy Unveiled: Simultaneous Attacks on Binance and Investments in BitcoinIn a stunning turn of events, major banks find themselves entangled in a web of contradictions regarding their stance on cryptocurrencies. While the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) targets leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance, these very banks are covertly investing in Bitcoin, with MicroStrategy being one of their primary conduits. BlackRock, Bank of America, and even Standard Chartered Bank, despite their skepticism, are acquiring significant stakes in MicroStrategy, all while predicting a promising future for Bitcoin. This article delves into the astonishing hypocrisy exhibited by financial institutions as they downplay the credibility of Bitcoin in public while privately accumulating substantial amounts.Banks Under Attack: Binance Faces SEC ScrutinyThe SEC's recent offensive against Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency industry. The regulatory agency has accused Binance of operating in the United States without proper authorization, among other alleged violations. While the legal battle between Binance and the SEC ensues, it is worth examining the actions of traditional banks that appear to be capitalizing on the very assets they publicly question.MicroStrategy: A Bitcoin Bull with Banking BackingMicroStrategy, a renowned business intelligence firm, has emerged as one of the most significant Bitcoin holders globally. The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, has been an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin, repeatedly touting its potential as a store of value and hedge against inflation. Curiously, major banks, including BlackRock and Bank of America, have made substantial investments in MicroStrategy, despite their apparent skepticism regarding Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin Street Journal Bitcoin Market Update Episode 24 Week 23Welcome to The Bitcoin Street Journal, your daily source for live market updates, technical analysis, and breaking news regarding Bitcoin. Stay up-to-date with the latest Bitcoin trends, market capitalization and supply, as well as financial and economic news by subscribing to our podcast. The daily diary of the bitcoin dream. Join us on the journey through the world of Bitcoin and its impact on our daily lives. In today's episode, we'll cover the basics of the Nostr protocol, including how to create an account, use clients to access the protocol, follow friends, and browse content. We'll also discuss the use of NIPs and relays, and offer tips on using specific clients like Coracle and Damus. Finally, we'll talk about how to contribute to the success of Nostr.Have you ever wanted a truly global and censor-resistant social network? Well, that's where Nostr comes in. Nostr is a simple and open protocol that enables just that. It's a decentralized social network created to empower users and allow them to connect directly without relying on a central authority. So, how can you get started on Nostr? It's simple. Create an account and join thousands of others who are already on the network. Once you're in, you'll be able to see what makes the protocol so special. The Nostr protocol is based on flexible event objects that use standard elliptic-curve cryptography for keys and signing. By relying only on websockets connections from clients to relays, it promotes software diversity and makes it easy to write clients and relays.One of the essential features that make Nostr unique is that it is resilient. Nostr doesn't rely on a small number of trusted servers for moving or storing data. This means that the protocol is very resilient to censorship or any other kind of interference. Users can connect and publish to an arbitrary number of relays that they can change over time.Another key aspect of Nostr is that it's verifiable. Every Nostr account is based on public-key cryptography. This feature makes it easy to verify that the messages were actually sent by the user in question.But why do we need Nostr? Our current social media systems are fundamentally broken. They rely on using user's attention to sell ads and bizarre techniques to keep people addicted. These systems also decide what content to show you based on a secret algorithm that you can't inspect or change. And unfortunately, they also have complete control over who can participate and who is censored. The good news is that there are resources out there to help you learn more about Nostr and how you can use it. There are different clients (apps) you can use for the web, iOS, Android, or Desktop, whatever suits your needs best. There are also contributions you can make to help develop the Nostr protocol or relay implementation. So, are you ready to become part of this exciting decentralized social network revolution? Check out the recommended external content and micro-tools that can help you navigate and use Nostr. The possibilities are endless, and the benefits are significant.Today we're talking about how to get started with Nostr, and I'm here to guide you through the process! When you create a Nostr account, it's based on a public/private key pair. Your public key is basically your username, and your private key acts as your password - but with one major difference: if you lose your private key, it can't be reset. So be sure to store it in a safe place, like a password manager.Now, Nostr itself is just a protocol - a set of rules for passing messages around on the internet. To access this protocol, you'll need a client. Clients can be web-based, desktop-based, or even on your mobile device. They help you fetch data from relays, as well as generate new data and share it with others.

In today's episode, we'll cover a list of the top questions to determine if someone is a Bitcoin Maximalist, which includes topics such as owning Bitcoin, self-custodying, and contributing to Bitcoin software.In this special edition of The Bitcoin Street Journal Bitcoin Market Update, we're diving deep into the world of Bitcoin Maximalists. Are you a Bitcoin Maxi yourself? Well, to test your loyalty to Bitcoin, here are some questions we'd ask to identify other Maximalists.First up, do you own Bitcoin? If the answer is yes, great! But if you're still skeptical or hesitant, you might need more convincing. Next, do you automatically buy Bitcoin every day, week, or month? This is a common habit among Maximalists who believe in the long-term value of Bitcoin.Another question to ask is if you buy the dips. When the price of Bitcoin drops, do you panic or take advantage of the opportunity to buy more? Maximalists typically choose the latter.Moving on, do you run your own node? For those unfamiliar, a node is a computer that validates Bitcoin transactions, and running one helps you stay in control of your Bitcoin. Self-custody is another important element of being a Bitcoin Maxi - this means you're holding onto your Bitcoin yourself rather than relying on a third party.Do you have a Bitcoin credit card that gives rewards back? This may seem like a small detail, but Maximalists are always looking for ways to maximize their Bitcoin earnings. Speaking of earnings, do you get paid in Bitcoin? This is another way to increase your Bitcoin holdings and show your dedication to the cause.Now, let's talk investments. Do you put all of your 401K/IRA money into Bitcoin instead? For Bitcoin Maximalists, the answer might often be yes. They believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and aren't afraid to put their money where their mouth is.Are you also someone who teaches others about Bitcoin? Are you contributing to Bitcoin software? Did you join a Bitcoin Maxi chat group or discussion thread? Do you read The Bitcoin Street Journal? Do you listen to the The Bitcoin Street Journal Bitcoin Market Update Podcast every day? These are all signs that you are a true Bitcoin Maxi.Other factors to consider include: Do you mine Bitcoin? Did you dump your shitcoins? Are you reducing your reliance upon fiat as financial support? Have you read the Bitcoin Whitepaper? Are you prepared to never sell your Bitcoin? Do you have a low time preference? Have you read the Bitcoiner Books - The Bitcoin Standard, The Price of Tomorrow, The Sovereign Individual, etc..? Are you using Multi-sig to secure your Bitcoin?Finally, some more offbeat questions: Do you have a Bitcoin job in the Bitcoin industry? Did you start planning for passport number 2 in a Bitcoin jurisdiction? Do you POST to Bitcoin Maximalist Groups? Are you on Nostr and sending and receiving Zaps?These questions may seem tongue-in-cheek, but they are all ways to identify true Bitcoin Maximalists who believe in the power and potential of the bitcoin network.Today we learned about Bitcoin Maximalism and the top questions to determine if someone is a true Bitcoin Maximalist - including owning Bitcoin, self-custodying, and contributing to Bitcoin software.

In today's episode, we'll cover the launch of Zebedee's ZBD app and their social platform that incorporates microtransactions and Bitcoin.Have you heard of Zebedee's new ZBD app? It has a gaming-centric Bitcoin wallet and a social platform with a unique twist. Instead of simply "liking" other users' content, you can earn a little Bitcoin by sending "zaps" - very small amounts of Bitcoin. It's a whole new way to monetize your content and have a more engaging social experience. You can even enjoy encrypted DMs with the option to use them to send payments. Zebedee, which is focused on payment solutions using Bitcoin's speedy Lightning Network, has now launched a new initiative to contribute open-source code and products to the layer-2 protocol built on top of Bitcoin. Dubbed No Big Deal (NBD), the new not-for-profit project has already resulted in several products and code repositories available to anyone willing to build on the Lightning Network. But wait, there's more: with decentralized social media, users have more control of their data than in traditional social media apps. You have the freedom to carry your identity and followers across any number of apps. No longer restricted to a closed-off ecosystem, you can connect with friends and creators regardless of the specific platform they use.Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, has also been focused on creating decentralized social media through Nostr's decentralized protocol for building apps. And he's keen on seeing many different such platforms emerge and thrive - a "good thing", according to him. With the rise of Nostr, users can now sign up for a waitlist for early access to the new ZBD app, which can possibly bring new and positive changes to the world of social media.Today in our podcast, we discussed Zebedee's ZBD app and their new social platform that allows users to send microtransactions instead of likes and earn Bitcoin.

Wells Fargo recently announced that due to "emergency conditions" they'll be limiting customer cash withdrawals to $1,000. Kind of makes you wonder, are they running out of money? One thing's for sure, it's becoming more and more evident that bank trustworthiness can no longer be taken for granted. Looking for an alternative solution? Check out Nostr, where account creation is handled not by a 3rd party, but by math. And guess what, data integrity is ensured by cryptography, not a 3rd party. Plus, data storage is handled by either multiple parties or, if you prefer, yourself.

Matt Clifford is calling for AI regulation, so we'll have to wait and see what happens there.In a surprising twist, some blue check influencers are claiming that they won't be using CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), but here's the thing, they've already verified their identity to post longer Twitter videos.

In today's episode, we'll cover the implications of Elon Musk's Twitter giveaway, which has been criticized for failing to achieve decentralization goals on the platform.Elon Musk has been in the news again recently after announcing a Twitter email giveaway. It was intended to reward a select group of influencers and boost their platform influence, but critics say that it did very little to decentralize the system. While it did generate a lot of buzz, some felt that it only served to provide a way for the most influential people on Twitter to solidify their connection with their fan base. On the other side of the coin, there were a few benefits for influencers, such as the ability to communicate with their fans in a more private and direct manner. This made the giveaway a big hit amongst this group and could potentially help them generate more income by way of subscriptions and merchandise sales. But ultimately, the reality is that it appeared to benefit the influencers more than anything else, and it is unlikely to offer real decentralization benefits. Those who are hoping to see a more widespread adoption of alternative messaging technologies and governance systems may still need to wait a while for the real decentralization of the platform to take place.On today's episode, we discussed Elon Musk's Twitter giveaway and the controversy surrounding its decentralization goals.

Ripple's XRP, on the other hand, was not named a security in the SEC's case against Coinbase. Binance saw a massive outflow of financial assets following the SEC lawsuit, and the company's market share recovered slightly in May.

In today's episode, we'll cover Bitcoin's predicted surge to $100k due to bank turmoil, halving, and the end of Fed rate hikes, the growing popularity of money-market funds, and Standard Chartered's prediction that Bitcoin will reach $100k by 2024 due to SVB collapse and banking contagion fears.Hey there, have you heard the news? Bitcoin is set to soar to new heights, with Standard Chartered predicting that it could even reach $100,000 by the end of 2024. That's a massive 268% increase from current levels. But why, you ask? Well, the crypto winter is finally over and there are several factors contributing to this potential surge. One of these factors is bank turmoil, coupled with bitcoin halving and the end of Fed rate hikes. While there are still some sources of uncertainty, Standard Chartered believes that the pathway to the USD 100,000 level is becoming clearer.Now, speaking of uncertainty, people are flocking to money market funds to protect their money amidst concerns about bank safety and turmoil. In fact, since the start of March, $286 billion has flowed into money-market funds - the biggest month since the depths of COVID. With their higher yields, these funds are becoming an increasingly attractive option, especially since the Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising rates. While money-market funds aren't guaranteed, they do invest in the safest and most liquid instruments. Plus, similar accounts offered by banks are even safer, offering FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor.So, if you're considering investing your money in money markets, what are your options? Well, Bankrate has compiled a list of the 8 highest-yielding money-market accounts as of Friday, March 24. With the shift towards safe investments that offer better returns, it's looking like an ideal time to capitalize on these attractive yields.Overall, with bitcoin predicted to soar and money markets offering enticing yields, it's a good time to keep an eye on these trends and take advantage of the possibilities they offer.Hey there! Today we're going to talk about the potential future of Bitcoin. According to Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick, Bitcoin has the potential to reach USD 100,000 by the end of 2024. Kendrick believes that the much-touted 'crypto winter' is finally over and one of the reasons for the bullish outlook is caused by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last month. The turmoil caused by the collapse quickly spread worries of a banking contagion, which led investors to consider Bitcoin as a decentralized, trustless, and scarce digital asset. Bitcoin's status as a branded safe-haven asset, its perceived relative store of value, and a means of remittance have also been crucial factors in its rise. With key rivals to bitcoin losing ground, Kendrick states in the note that bitcoin's share of the total crypto market cap could rise to the 50%-60% range, up from 45% today and from 40% before the SVB collapse.
