> AA1 (or AA+) is the second-highest, indicating very strong creditworthiness but slightly more vulnerability to changing circumstances than AAA. Basically means the US economy is more fragile , and susceptible to crashes.

Squirrel_McNutz

Yeah, rough. Absolutely not unexpected. What does that mean from AAA to AA1?

The US economy is facing a major recession thanks to captain stupid in the oval office… They were downgraded from AAA to AA1 for the first time in history last friday.

Moody's downgraded the United States' credit rating from AAA to AA1 yesterday. That was the last rating agency that had the US still rated at AAA.

RoutinePrice446

True, but sheep need someone else to tell them what's trash. Which AA1 is not, but it's a step in the right direction. Give it another 15, 20 years and maybe we'll get it down to Ba1, junk.

Are you talking about lifestyle businesses like your local restaurant, hvac company, real estate, or investment trust. Any corporate entity has shares and owners. Yes there are companies you can own for years. IBM is still around but they’re not MAG7 and setting the world on fire. I framed it from owning something to get the growth appreciation since this is a new and nascent industry. Maximizing the S curve. Not some mature company or industry. I heard the stat from a VC. He was framing up how to think about changing industries and timeframes for investments. If a fund raises money, deploys into a sector to build it, and then returns that growth to its investors. The funds timing is 8 years and that 20 years was the lifespan assigned. So startups get acquired,/merge, become zombie companies, become lifestyle, become hits or fail. Marc Andreeson of A16Z hit rate was 7% on over 250+ companies. Meaning 7% got to a billion dollars which would as a metric get you to a 20 years life. Enron lasted 16 years and at its peak was a top 10 company in the world. This pod I was listening to yesterday was about market makers discussing their business. They did discuss the issue with alot of big coins becoming zombies. Foundations and the founders are sitting on billions from cashing out but the chain, app, or product is a zombie with little to no users in a changing market. Your coin can live forever and you can do buybacks but how is this any different than a IBM or Microstrategy that just uses its businesses cash flow to service buying BTC. BTC is the only coin where we don’t have to deal with management, founders, and funding. Everything else is just another startup wrapped up in crypto. They have teams, payroll, HR issues and investors. [https://overcast.fm/+AA9KZZO2jWQ](https://overcast.fm/+AA9KZZO2jWQ)

Unless you have literally millions of dollars in gold, it's not gonna be that heavy lol I had about $5k in gold for a while (actually sold a little over a month ago to buy more Bitcoin) but that was about 40g of gold and those bars could literally fit into a tiny little plastic bag and weighed about the same as a couple AA batteries. Also to answer your question, they make gold bars as small as 1g. Bars are for sure the best way to buy gold with the lowest premiums if you're just buying for investment purposes.

That was only one part. They can also sell assets, and there is talk about getting the current price of the gold in reserves and then having the Fed print the difference and then using that to buy bitcoin. Currently the gold in Fort Knox is still appraised at the value when it was received which is something like $42 an oz. It is currently around $3000 per oz.

Investors should be aware that while XRP's price predictions range widely—with many analysts suggesting potential growth due to regulatory clarity and institutional adoption—there are substantial risks, particularly given its regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. and the threat from competing stablecoins and CBDCs that could undermine its utility as a liquidity solution (Forbes, Changelly). In contrast, Algorand's price forecast also reflects moderate optimism but shows limited upside in the short term, suggesting caution in considering both assets for aggressive investment strategies. * [XRP Prediction For 2025: What To Watch For This Year](https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/article/xrp-prediction-2025/) * [Algorand (ALGO) Price Prediction 2025 2026 2027 - 2030](https://changelly.com/blog/algorand-algo-price-prediction/) * [XRP Price Prediction: Analysts Eye $3 Target For 2025, ...](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstocks/xrp-price-prediction-analysts-eye-3-target-for-2025-this-ai-crypto-set-for-70x-gains/ar-AA1A5rC2?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds) ^(This is a bot made by [Critique AI](https://critique-labs.ai).

The Ethereum supply is only about six times the BTC supply, and the current ETH inflation is lower than the BTC inflation. I feel like Ethereum should also be a store of value, and others share my opinion. My opinion is either ETH is undervalued relative to BTC or BTC is overvalued relative to ETH. BTC has no more utility than a meme token like Doge. But for now people have decided it should be worth a lot because it was the first blockchain and has built a network effect. Ethereum and many other top chains have also developed a network effect. Not all Ethereum L2s have their own tokens and the Ethereum L1 is extracting fees from the Layer 2s.

**EIP-7702 AA** (in Pectra) enables what is more like programmable EOA accounts. Users can **delegate** their EOA account (their normal on-chain account address) to use a smart contract for their logic. So it's very flexible and more native than ERC-4337 AA. **ERC-4337 AA** (from Dencun) used an off-chain system of paymasters to submit transactions on behalf of the user. That system was never very popular, and it also required a new wallet system that wasn't backwards compatible with existing EOAs. -------------- This is positive for technology, not for bag holding.

this exploit was news to me, so I did a quick google to find out what technically happened. After some digging, it seems sourced back to [this tweet](https://x.com/EfficiencyDOGE/status/1864357823163060316) from 8 days ago. Evidently this whitehat account found the exploit, dubbed DogeReaper, that lets you take any node offline with a segfault error just by knowing its public address. **Importantly:** >**A fix has already been deployed as part of Dogecoin Core 1.14.9. Any version below that is affected by this vulnerability, which according to Blockchair are around 90% of nodes.** Once DogeReaper became more widely known, a blackhat Andreas Kohl, co-founder of the Bitcoin sidechain Sequentia, claimed responsibility for exploiting the flaw on Dec. 12, using a modest laptop in El Salvador to execute the attack. [source](https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/cryptocurrencies/hacker-exploits-dogecoin-vulnerability-crashes-69-of-nodes-but-doge-still-spikes-1-8/ar-AA1vK4gk) And it sounds like he was only able to bring offline the nodes which did not have their Core software updated to the latest patch. I doubt this will have any significant impact because those nodes are likely to simply apply the patch and come back online.

Not that I disagree with you, but it's the first mover principle in action. He's the first institution level entity to do it. He has the advantage. Just like the guys mining in the early days or those lucky sots who got in below $10. Also, there was going to be a pioneer. We saw they before. Some good like AA and some bad CW.

As you’ve commented, NIST has been working on QR (quantum resistant) asymmetric cryptography for years now, and even adopted 3 candidate algorithms. The problem is the implementation is still clunky. Unlike ECDSA (which Ethereum and Bitcoin are based on) it’s much slower, and creating private keys is more involved. To upgrade e.g. Ethereum to use e.g the Falcon algorithm, you’ll need to do one of 2 things: update the base cryptography of the blockchain, essentially creating a new blockchain everyone needs to migrate to (and I do mean every wallet, smart contract, pool, token etc.), or adopt Abstracted Accounts that use Falcon to secure your funds, and then use the existing ECDSA to transfer them. Both ideas have been floated and researched. Idea 1 is too big - essentially means relaunching Ethereum- and it would be slower and clunkier (until better implementations of Falcon are produced). Idea 2 is what Vitalik has been pushing for 2 years now. Account Abstraction (AA) makes a lot of sense, requires no major infrastructure changes, and has plenty of other benefits (check out ERC-4337). But because of gas concerns, and slow public uptake, only a few protocols and dApps picked it up. My guess is the adoption rate of AAs will start growing in coming years. If you were to build a new blockchain today, you could (should) make its core cryptography QR. It may be slower (for now) but safer. Final thought: everyone in the crypto world is terrified of quantum computers stealing their funds. But if a quantum machine appears one day, able to crack cryptographic algorithms, it will be used on better targets than cryptocurrencies. Banks, companies, money transfer systems - have way more value than all of crypto combined. Heck, the first thing to go will be SSL - no more web security, no more encrypted internet (there is a QR version of SSL, and it even exists in Chrome, but every web server in the world will need to adopt it, and it is, at the risk of repeating myself, quite slow).

You can recreate the whole thing there is device more open source than this, besides the software the actual blueprint of the device is published as well. If you knew anything about batteries then you would mention AA and lithium ion in one breath. That’s all do your own research because you are lacking knowledge to be criticizing these devices

Elistheman

Well yes, you can’t know what would become of this form factor? Would be nice to see it running on 2 AA or a single 18650. What about being open source or software in case the company is running out of business? Lastly, you don’t need to reply.

Yay! AA my hero!

parishiIt0n

AA is the OG Bitcoin Educator. And your weed guy is the OG Financial Advisor

FreyasCloak

If you can get her to listen to AA’s old videos, that’s all I can say. Did it for me.

outofofficeagain

Because AA has never given investment advice, she is making it up.

outofofficeagain

AA never told anyone to invest.

pac-men

There’s a reddit post showing a 2019 video where AA says that if someone told him in 2012 that the price would get to $13,000, he would have laughed and said “yeah right.” Doesn’t mean he didn’t say the thing about 10 bitcoins but that’s all I’ve found so far.

mrmishmashmix

There's a really good reason why randoms donated a fuck ton of money to AA after Ver publically 'wealth shamed' him - its because so many of us - me, the mods, the OP - owe our fortune to Andreas briliant talks circa 2013. And remember, in the wise words of Denzel, its not about what you accomplish, it's about what you've given back.

AA is top 3 best people to listen to on Bitcoin Him, Jack Mallers and Jeff Booth are my favorites. So eloquent and articulate

idster

Why would a post like this get removed? AA has verifiably been in the space a long time.

Ginux

AA may have said that, or he may not, anyway he is an amazing boy and I admire him for everything he does

100k bitcoin in the future, Playboi Carti is dropping tonight, I got some grade AA head, ate an ice cream sandwich and got to leave work early!!! Can this day get any better???????

Yes. He has on several occasions saved me — when it was the most uncertain, most depressing and volatile. AA will always be my hero. Thank you Andreas I know you do come here sometimes. I hope you see this.

There’s a total of 8 billionaires in Denmark, even if you taxed them out of the ass it wouldn’t put a dent in a single bureaucrats budget. Going to have to use UK stats because that’s what I know best but it’s a problem across the west: 4% of people in the UK earn over 100k and they pay half of all income tax receipts and we’re starting to have mass brain drain and negative capital flows because of it. Furthermore, half of people are now dependents on the state in the UK, which the CPS have said is unsustainable. People think there’s some billaionre hoarding all the wealth and that if they just got the government to tax that one person all the problems would go away, it’s simply a fallacy, this money doesn’t exist, and no doubt politicians stoke these ideas.  Realistically, tax rises will continue in all levels and instruments until these countries suffer mass brain drain like Portugal did (they recently cut taxes significantly). Politicians and the People have to realise the state cannot be used like a money tree. No doubt there will be painful and serious issues before the culture changes. Most other countries do not operate like this, which is why the west will get weaker and weaker in comparison.

>I probably did more than most to spread the “mountain man” trope (btw I consider those remarks of mine outdated; snarks and AA changed the tradeoff space completely), and I’ll happily say that I think @saylor’s comments are batshit insane. >He seems to be explicitly arguing for a regulatory capture approach to protecting crypto (“when you have regulated public entities like Blackrock and Fidelity and ... holding the asset, all the lawmakers and law enforcement arms are invested in those entitites”). There’s plenty of precedent for how this strategy can fail, and for me it’s not what crypto is about. Vitaliks full quote. He isn’t wrong.

Or you could make it being not 123 but something else. "AA, BB, CC" Whatever.
