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. They are coming up with all kinds of creative ways to do it.

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.

So you don’t rebalance across an AA at all? Like, crypto being 10% of your portfolio one year and 30% another? I’m more aligned with rebalancing periodically as different assets go through their up and down cycles.

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. Given the spectrum of who it could have been, I'll sit back easy and watch Saylor do his thing.

Niceguy955

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).

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.

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.

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.

To explain Bitcoin's boring price action this week after so much talk of the bull run kicking off, we can look at [this report on gold](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/gold-extends-fall-to-sixth-day-ahead-of-fed-us-inflation-data/ar-AA1rXChw) which is going through the same thing for the same exact reasons: >Gold extended losses for a sixth straight session on Wednesday to hover near the two-week lows hit the day before on lowered expectations of deeper rate cuts, as traders turned their focus to the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes and inflation data. >"The market is currently awaiting the upcoming inflation data for U.S. Since last week's payroll data, the market is discussing if we are in soft landing or no landing scenario," UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said. >"A significant rise in inflation could alter the scenario. However, considering the geopolitical situation and market uncertainties, we might continue to see range-bound trading with limited downside rallies," said Vawda. Or consider [this story about the 10-yr Treasury note](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/ten-year-treasury-yields-hold-above-4-ahead-of-fed-minutes/ar-AA1rWPmq) still holding about 4%: >The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was little changed and holding above 4% early Wednesday. That’s near a two-month high following stronger-than-expected jobs data last week that pointed to a U.S. economy in decent health and not in great need of fast interest rate cuts. >Investors are looking ahead for additional insight into the Federal Reserve’s thinking when the minutes of the previous FOMC meeting are released at 2 p.m. Eastern. Traders also have one eye on the September CPI inflation data, due on Thursday morning. >“FOMC minutes that are due later today and, crucially, tomorrow’s CPI report for September, will be the most important drivers of rate cut expectations in the short term,” said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB. >“A hotter than expected inflation report for last month could trigger a surge in expectations of no rate cut from the Fed when it next meets in November,” Brooks added. >Currently, markets are pricing in an 86.7% probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by at least 25 basis points from the range of 4.75% to 5.00% after its next meeting on November 7, according to the CME FedWatch tool. >The chances of a 50 basis point cut on that date have fallen from 35.2% a week ago to zero now following the stronger labor report. We can infer from the 86.7% probability of a 25bps cut in November that the markets are pricing in a 13.3% chance of no cut at all, which would be bad for BTC. So if we can get inflation data to come in good and jobs numbers to suck, then we should rip again.

According to the [Coinbase Premium Index](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/bitcoin-coinbase-premium-turns-negative-as-btc-price-stalls-under-63k/ar-AA1rU3zx) it's the retail investors that are pulling back. Looks like Blackrock and Fidelity are buying a bunch of BTC for their ETFs. If anything it seems that the retail sellers are offsetting the buys from the institutions.

Just checked T-Bill rates and they have gone up. I mentioned this concern after the "blockbuster" jobs report last week. >NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of global stocks declined on Monday and U.S. Treasury yields climbed, with the benchmark 10-year note topping 4%, as investors readjusted their views for the path of interest rates from the Federal Reserve. The U.S. 10-year note **climbed to 4.033%, its highest level since Aug. 1 and first time above 4% since Aug. 8** after Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls report fueled expectations the Fed will dial back its aggressiveness in cutting interest rates. Expectations for a Fed rate cut of 25 basis points (bps) at the central bank's November meeting stand at 84.6%, **with the market pricing in a 15.4% chance it will hold rates steady**, according to CME's FedWatch Tool. Markets were completely pricing in a cut of at least 25 basis points just a week ago, with a 34.7% chance for another outsized 50 basis-point cut after the Fed began slashing rates at its September meeting with a 50 bp cut. [US 10-year yield tops 4%, stocks fall, as Fed rate cut expectations ease (msn.com)](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-10-year-yield-tops-4-stocks-fall-as-fed-rate-cut-expectations-ease/ar-AA1rQMho)

Looks like your source has it wrong. This is from msn.com: "The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of the UAE has published amendments to the Executive Regulation of Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017, which regulates Value Added Tax (VAT). The changes, which will come into effect on November 15, following Cabinet Decision No. (100) of 2024, introduce a VAT exemption for transferring and converting virtual assets, including cryptocurrencies." https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/uae-removes-taxes-for-all-crypto-transactions/ar-AA1rMoTR
