The turnover in the funds was lower than expected.\n\nThe total trading volume in all ETFs from three issuers barely exceeded $11 million. For comparison, in January, when similar funds were launched in the U.S., by the results of the first trading day, the trading volume in them was above $1 billion. Earlier, Bloomberg ETF market analyst Eric Balchunas called the launch of cryptocurrency ETFs in Hong Kong \"child's play\" compared to trading in funds from BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck and other financial heavyweights in the United States.\n\nNevertheless, Hong Kong was ahead of the U.S. in launching spot funds for Ethereum; in the U.S., regulators have long delayed the launch of such ETFs.\n\nSo-called spot ETFs involve the actual purchase of cryptocurrency to back the fund's units. The launch of such ETFs in the U.S. triggered an influx of capital into the market and was one of the catalysts for bitcoin price growth in 2024.\n\nSome thought that the launch of new ETFs in Hong Kong had already contributed to the growth of bitcoin, but it turns out that not only did it not contribute to the growth, but it brought the bitcoin price down to a record daily drawdown. We should not forget that as long as there is such a player as GreyScale on the market, bitcoin sales cannot be calculated. Today GreyScale sent more than 3,000 BTC to the exchange. \n\nThe video shows the moment of the launch of trading in Hong Kong cryptocurrency ETFs live on CNBC channel",

Only a couple days ago, the average transaction fee on the bitcoin blockchain reached $260.\n\nAfter the peak of commissions, miners have seen a sharp decline in hashrate prices, falling from $114 per petahesh on Sunday to $79 per petahesh by Tuesday. While the network's hashrate has dropped slightly, it's not that significant.\n\nBitcoin miners now receive fewer dollars per mined block compared to the week before the halving. According to Luxor's hashrateindex.com, the hash price remained above $105 per petahesh per day for the week before the 840,000 block. Four days before the halving, on April 15, the hash price was $108 per petahesh.\n\nDuring a period of historically high collections on April 20, the hash price reached $182 per petahesh. However, it fell to $114 by the end of the next day and continues to decline, sitting just above $79, a drop of 30%. On Sunday, miners were receiving an average of 5.105 BTC per block, but that amount has now decreased.\n\nAs of today, April 23, 2024, the hash price is hovering around $79 per petahesh after a low of $74 per petahesh. Between blocks 840,179 and 840,417, miners have collected an average of 4.95 BTC per block. \n\nThe decrease in hash price and slight drop in hash rate does not affect the resilience of the bitcoin network. This is a test of efficiency and resilience for miners, who are forced to adapt to lower revenues and optimize operations. \n\nFor regular users, it means that commissions may soon return to normal levels. Currently, the average transaction fee is around $43.83.\n\nMost users are willing to wait a few hours, paying $5 instead of $70 for a rush shipment. Bitcoin doesn't need super speed or fixed low fees. It operates on the principle of democracy, where self-regulation mechanisms work like transportation logistics: those who need speed pay more, and the rest can wait but pay less.",

If USDT on the TON blockchain will quickly take the leading role among all USDT blockchains, thanks to free transactions, then the largest exchanges, such as Binance will have to flood USDT on TON, and accordingly TON itself, which today is among the top 10 cryptocurrencies on Coingecko.\n\nAlthough Pavel Durov and the Telegram team are not officially related to the TON project in any way, the MO is very similar to what Durov is doing. Making transactions of the world's most popular stablecoin free is very Durov-esque.  But Pavel Durov has nothing to do with it, of course.",

It is noted that 360 congressmen voted in favor of the bill, 58 voted against it.\n\nAccording to the head of the European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde, the U.S. proposal to use frozen Russian assets to issue bonds and direct the raised funds to help Ukraine carries legal risks and may be considered a violation of international law.\n\nNow we can safely state that there is no longer any international law. There are no more international reserves, and therefore no more world reserve currency, the security was liquidated a little earlier. And it's not even a matter of who is right and who is to blame. The point is that money, in the quality we've known for the last 1000 years, no longer exists.\n\nSatoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin in order to put his own bank in everyone's hands. So that your funds can't be blocked, confiscated, or harassed by anyone. \n\nBitcoin stands on three pillars: anonymity, decentralization, security. But as long as there is a force in the world usurping power, rights, freedoms, resources, and information, everything in cryptocurrency looks like this. \n\nSomeone explained to society that there are some cryptocurrencies out there, of which there are hundreds and thousands. And they must obey some rules created by parasites:\n\nThus we have three whales on which crypto holds on:\n\nanonymity (pass verification by shaking your head against the front page of your passport)\ndecentralization (we stop serving citizens of your country)\nsecurity (your account is blocked)\n\nThe fourth and fattest whale of crypto, is the irredeemable uneducation and stupidity of citizens, supported by a swarm of self-proclaimed gurus who criticize bitcoin but encourage people to invest in projects that have as much to do with cryptocurrency as any shitcoin like XRP has to do with decentralization.\n\nWith such an uneducated herd, you can do whatever comes into the minds of a sect of Dementos from a retirement home on seven hills.",

They attribute this to the demand for bitcoins from U.S. spot ETFs. \n\nAssuming that with current exchange reserves of 2 million coins, daily inflows into these ETFs would average $500 million, about 7,142 bitcoins would leave exchange reserves every day. That means it would only take nine months to use up all remaining reserves, the exchange analysts wrote in a piece on the market implications of the bitcoin halving.\n\nAfter the halving, issuance of new bitcoins will halve. The reduction in supply of coins with high demand, analysts call the prerequisite for price growth \"to new records\".\n\nIn fact, there are just over two days left before the bitcoin halving and bitcoin price sagging before the halving is a common phenomenon. The bitcoin price will not rise immediately after the halving, but the 13500 BTC per month market churn that will begin in 53 hours will certainly affect the price.\n\nIn the chart, the blue curve is bitcoin reserves on centralized exchanges, the black curve is the bitcoin exchange rate\nData: Bybit, Cryptoquant",

This is a letter that the SEC sends out to individuals or firms at the conclusion of an SEC investigation, stating that the SEC plans to take enforcement action against them.\n\nHayden Adams, the platform's founder, expressed feelings of annoyance and frustration, but remained steadfast in his belief in the legitimacy of Uniswap's proposals.\n\nHe criticized the SEC's approach to established defi players such as Uniswap and Coinbase, which allegedly allow uncontrolled actions by others. \"It has long been clear that instead of working to create clear, reasonable rules, the SEC has chosen to focus on attacking long-established players,\" Adams said.\n\nReflecting on Uniswap's journey, Adams described how the platform emerged as an experimental venture to create radically decentralized, automated networked marketplaces. From the start, Uniswap has become a key part of the defi ecosystem, handling over $2 trillion worth of data and serving as a foundation for thousands of developers and teams.\n\nHe emphasized Uniswap's contribution to creating a transparent, fair, secure and accessible financial infrastructure. This growth and innovation has been achieved in the United States, demonstrating the team's commitment to contributing to blockchain technology from its base in New York.\n\nAdams emphasized that he used his platform to highlight his belief in the transformative potential of blockchain and its permanence in the technology sector. He positioned Uniswap as a force for good that aligns with and exceeds the SEC's mission to protect investors and maintain efficient markets.\n\nDespite the looming legal battle that could potentially reach the Supreme Court, Adams remains optimistic about the future of defi and Uniswap's role in it. He concluded by calling for unity and perseverance in the face of regulatory challenges, emphasizing: \"If we get our act together, we can win. I think freedom is worth fighting for. I think defi is worth fighting for.\"\n\nThe most interesting thing about defi, is that it doesn't involve any kind of personal identification initially. At its core, decentralized finance is the exact opposite of the banking system. However, the SEC will fight defi as a phenomenon anyway.\n\nA little earlier, the source code and smart contract of UNiswap was published on GitHub, in which programmers found a section about KYC, which greatly excited the community. But there can't be anything unusual about it. A company, headquartered in New York, with a public face in the founder's video cannot be free from laws or even illegal regulatory requirements.\nUniswap is a typical web3 project that is widely accepted by the community and is an alternative to the outdated web2 model that now dominates the web.\n\nWeb3 is a generic term for technologies such as blockchain that decentralize the ownership and management of data on the Internet. Most Internet applications are managed by centralized organizations that determine how they store and use end-user data. \n\nBut the most ironic thing is that the big tech giants have amicably announced that they are investing huge resources in developing web3 infrastructure. They understand that if this niche is not controlled, all these decentralized innovations threaten their future. \n\nThe participation of high-tech and regulators in the fate of web3 projects resembles the legalization of drugs. The state has been fighting drug trafficking for decades, suddenly legalizes it. \n\nA little later the same will happen with web3. You can not control what can not be controlled, especially if it becomes a mass phenomenon.",

Approval of the first bitcoin exchange-traded funds in Hong Kong is expected as early as April 15.\nAccording to analysts, the launch of such funds, similar to U.S. ETFs, will attract significant investment in the crypto market, including investors from China.\nDue to strict restrictions on cryptocurrency and mining operations in mainland China, asset managers cannot offer cryptocurrency ETFs to local clients. However, several cryptocurrency futures ETFs are already registered in Hong Kong, whose shares are traded through exchanges and brokerage platforms of major banks and openly advertised.\nThe HashKey exchange also announced a partnership with the TON Foundation, a community of developers in the TON ecosystem. According to the announcement, the exchange's infrastructure will be used to purchase cryptocurrency via Telegram's embedded crypto wallet for users in the Asia-Pacific region.\nHashKey is one of two crypto exchanges with a license to trade cryptocurrency in Hong Kong. Bybit and MEXC exchanges, which were stripped of such a license, were deemed dubious by the local Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in March.\nThe flow of Chinese investment could exceed the volumes attracted to the bitcoin market by U.S. exchange-traded ETFs.\nIn China, due to the withdrawal of investor funds from the gold sector and the crisis in the residential real estate sector, a surplus of investment money has accumulated. This has led to a growing interest in investing in other assets.\nThe biggest beneficiaries of Chinese investment over the past 17 years have been the US, Australia and the UK, as well as Brazil, Switzerland, Canada and Germany. China has also increased its investment in EU equities, exceeding more than €40 billion.\nHowever, European regulations make investment for Chinese companies and private investors difficult.\nToday, China ranks second in the world in nominal GDP and first in purchasing power parity; its share of the world economy is 18.45% (data as of September 1, 2023).\nBy 2030, China plans to overtake the US as the world's largest economy. The bitcoin market should expect a new influx of investment from private investors from China via Hong Kong bitcoin-ETFs.",

This portfolio is the largest after GreyScale's GBTC.\nThe total across the ten ETFs, excluding GBTC by Grayscale, is 519,440.22 BTC, which is currently valued at $37.26 billion. Over the past 48 hours, Blackrock's portfolio has grown from 259,381.18 BTC to the current 263,937.48 BTC.\nFidelity's FBTC is in second place with 150,563.50 BTC, which is 28.98% of the total 519,440.22 BTC. Ark Invest's ARKB and Bitwise's BITB hold 43,513 BTC and 32,377.97 BTC, respectively, outperforming the other six ETFs in terms of investment volume but behind IBIT and FBTC in terms of bitcoin holdings.\nGBTC remains the leader among spot bitcoin ETFs, holding 325,686.78 BTC. Including GBTC and the other ten funds, the total reaches 845,127 BTC, equivalent to $60.63 billion. The asset share of these 11 exchange traded ETFs represents 4.29% of the total bitcoin supply, which currently stands at 19,676,811.74 BTC.\nSome bloggers are predicting a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin, but exchange Coinbase has taken the opposite view in their latest market review. They note that bitcoin's growing recognition as \"digital gold\" could lead to demand from new investors, which they believe will support bitcoin demand in the future. In addition, the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. could reduce market volatility.\nThe impact of these ETFs and increased institutional demand is reflected in the growing open interest in bitcoin futures, which can be used as a hedging tool. For example, open interest in CME futures reached $9.9 billion and exceeded that of any centralized exchange, accounting for more than one-third of the entire bitcoin futures market.",

And not just for no reason, but with the use of powerful resources.\nTwo of China's largest fund management companies filed applications to create bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Monday. Harvest Global Investments and Southern Fund are seeking approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to launch spot bitcoin ETFs.\nHarvest Fund, founded in 1999 (HGIUK), specializes in serving international clients, especially those investing in China.\nIn the context of a prolonged decline in the domestic fund market, HGIUK notes a surge in demand for international investment as Chinese investors seek more lucrative opportunities outside the country. It is also noted that another major player, Southern Fund (CSOP), is also applying for a spot bitcoin ETF. In addition, China Asset Management, also known as China AMC, is reportedly partnering with a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency custodian.\nIndustry insiders expect Chinese bitcoin ETFs to receive approval by the second quarter of 2024. Southern Fund has already introduced Asia's first bitcoin futures-based ETF called the Southern Dongying Bitcoin Futures ETF.\nA source close to Harvest Fund's strategic initiatives told local reporters, \"We are also developing bitcoin businesses and launching related products in Hong Kong that are traded through our subsidiary's platform in Hong Kong, but they are not futures ETFs.\"\nIn addition, at the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival on April 6, 2024, Hong Kong regulators made it clear that they intend to actively support the industry.\nSecurities Times also reported that Hashkey Group, a comprehensive digital asset financial services provider in Asia, expects to make final announcements regarding the Hong Kong Bitcoin Spot ETF in the first half of this year.\nFor reference, Harvest Fund manages $121 billion in assets and Southern Asset Management has $285 billion under management. But these are just two funds whose applications for spot ETFs have come to light. In fact, there could be even more such funds.\nIn addition, the Chinese market now has favorable conditions for new investments. Over the past two years, China's stock market has experienced a significant crisis due to the withdrawal of money from U.S. investors fearing the outbreak of the Taiwan War.\nDomestic investment in China is the second largest in the world after the U.S. market in terms of absolute volume. Now, investors who withdrew their funds from the Chinese stock market due to panic and fears for the national market are looking for a legal way to diversify their assets into promising assets, including cryptocurrencies, which are officially banned in China.\nWhile the flow of funds into the bitcoin market from 11 U.S. ETFs has reached $100 billion in three months, Chinese investors, deprived of the ability to legally own bitcoin and worried about fears for the national stock market, can contribute much larger amounts to legitimate bitcoin ETFs.\nThe red Chinese dragon is ready to awaken and actively participate in the creation of Godzilla's big green candle.",

The main influence on the BTC price is the net inflow of new money from bitcoin-ETFs, which has offset the decline seen in early April.\nSince the beginning of April, spot bitcoin-ETFs in the US have experienced a four-day increase in funds. Starting with $39.5 million on April 2, inflows increased to $113.5 million the following day, and reached $213.4 million on April 3. The peak was Friday, when funds gained an impressive $203 million.\nDespite the general optimism in the market, Grayscale's GBTC experienced the largest outflow of funds of any ETF. The ETF's trading volume on Friday totaled roughly $2.37 billion, down 31.5% from Thursday's $3.46 billion, yet inflows were only slightly lower, at 4.87%, compared to Thursday.\nFollowing the GBTC outflow, as of Saturday, the data shows that the GreySacale fund still owns 325,686.78 BTC. Meanwhile, IBIT Blackrock has already raised 259,381 BTC. Similarly, FBTC saw an increase in funds on Friday, and the Fidelity-managed fund has now raised around 149,339 BTC.\nDespite a volatile start to April in the spot cryptocurrency markets, 11 bitcoin-ETFs ended the week positively, indicating stable optimism in the market. Although trading volume fluctuated and outflows were noted, the continuous inflows over the four days indicate that market appetite remains strong.\nBitcoin's future prospects may be even more encouraging given that BlacRock updated the declaration of its bitcoin-ETF on Friday, bringing in some of the world's largest banks and funds whose management had previously expressed their aversion to bitcoin or refused to create their own exchange-traded bitcoin-ETFs.\nFinancial market giants such as UBS, ABN AMRO, Citadel Securities, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Jane Street Capital and JP Morgan are among the fund's new partners, which are listed in the declaration as authorized participants with broker licenses.\nJamie Dimon, known for his negative statements about bitcoin, now provides bitcoin-ETF acquisition services to his clients through a partnership with BlacRock.\nBlackRock's published declaration openly shows that the said major banks of the world are no longer hiding their interest in bitcoin.\nThis points to a simple fact: no matter what kind of business you run, you should be aware of the presence of bitcoin, and if you continue your business, you are contributing to a market that puts you in a short position against bitcoin.",

With a daily trading volume of $45.30 billion and a total market capitalization of $1.29 trillion, the cryptocurrency market maintains high liquidity and wide reach.\nHowever, the recent declines have caused concern among traders. Bitcoin's price has fallen 6% this week. The hourly chart shows a stable downtrend, indicating a potential negative outlook in the near future.\nModerate market volatility over the period suggests some resistance to further significant selling, but the support level at $64,511 and resistance at $69,464 define a limited trading range.\nOn the four-hour chart, bearish sentiment persists, confirmed by increased volatility and significant price swings. Nevertheless, the support level at $64,511 and a new resistance point at $71,391 indicate a wider range of possible price movement.\nMedium-term analysis also shows that the market is in search of direction, with oscillators, most of which are in neutral territory, with some bias towards sell signals.\nThe daily chart shows a complex pattern of alternating bullish and bearish trends, pointing to a broader consolidation period. Significant volatility emphasizes the uncertainty in the market. However, the latest significant drop indicates a bearish trend.\nSupport at $59,313 and resistance at $73,794 define the boundaries of this long-term phase, indicating critical levels that could determine bitcoin's future path.\nThe combined analysis of oscillators and moving averages indicate wariness and uncertainty in the market. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), stochastic and other oscillators mostly indicate neutrality, although bearish indicators among moving averages, especially on short- and medium-term charts, point to underlying negative pressure.\nDespite recent bearish signals, longer-term indicators are revealing major strengths that could set the stage for a bullish reversal. The emergence of buy signals on the long-term moving averages, especially starting from the 50-day moving average, indicates potential fundamental support and upward momentum.\nThus, bitcoin's short- to medium-term trend is bearish, while the long-term trend is leaning bullish.",

In total, four individuals and 19 companies have been sanctioned.\n\nThis move by the U.S. signals a serious concern among Western regulators about the use of cryptocurrencies to circumvent sanctions, which could lead to tighter regulation of the crypto market by other countries.\n\nThe sanctions against Russian platforms followed the legalization of CFAs for international settlements in Russia. President Vladimir Putin signed a law on the use of CFAs in international settlements.\n\nExperts believe that the use of digital assets for foreign trade transactions can mitigate the impact of sanctions on Russia, but analytical services mark sanctioned platforms and transactions with them as sanctioned, which creates risks for users.\n\nThe creation of Russian cryptocurrency exchanges and the development of alternative cryptocurrency systems, such as anonymous stablecoins, may be an important step to circumvent the tightened regulation in the West and increase security for users.",

Cumulative open interest in bitcoin futures as of March 29, 2024 reached an all-time high of $37.55 billion, equivalent to approximately 539,430 BTC. A large portion of this amount, at $11.5 billion, came from CME Group, the leading derivatives trading platform for BTC futures volume. Significant amounts were also seen on the Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Okx, Deribit and Bingx platforms. Ethereum (ETH) futures also show a notable increase in open interest, although they have not yet reached their peak. The total open interest across all cryptocurrency futures is $78 billion. This data forms the basis of fundamental analysis reflecting the causes and sources of bitcoin's growth, while emotional statements and vangos are based on folklore and crypto epic.",

Anjarwalla, a British and Kenyan citizen, is suspected of using his Kenyan passport to leave Nigeria on an unidentified Middle Eastern airliner.\n\nPremium Times reports that Anjarwalla, who practiced Islam, disappeared after security guards escorted him to a local mosque for prayers during the month of Ramadan.\n\nAlthough the passports of Anjarwalla and his colleague Tigran Gambarian were seized by Nigerian authorities when they were arrested in late February, someone managed to get him a Kenyan passport, which, according to the official version, allowed him to leave Nigeria.\n\nThe office of the National Security Adviser confirmed the event of Anjarwalla's flight and announced its intention to apply to Interpol for an international arrest warrant for him.\n\nThe pair were detained by Nigerian authorities after they allegedly refused to provide certain personal details of users whom the government accused of destabilizing the local currency.\n\nA senior aide to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubuzabuza said the cryptocurrency exchange was fined $10 billion, but that statement was later retracted.\n\nPrior to his escape, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who is a British and Kenyan citizen and serves as Binance's regional manager for Africa, appeared before a Nigerian court. He escaped after being in custody in a Nigerian court for 14 days. He was due to appear in court again on April 4.\n\n\"We call on Nigerians and the international community to provide any information that can assist law enforcement agencies in apprehending the suspect,\" said Zachary Mijinyawa, head of strategic communications in the council's office.\n\nNadeem Anjarwalla's escape further proves that you don't necessarily need to have stocks, gold or silver to save your life - cryptocurrency is enough. Presumably, he will turn up in the UK, as he is protected by his citizenship there, unlike the situation in Nigeria, where his arrest was conducted on unfounded grounds.\n\nThere is no information yet on the fate of his colleague Tigran Gambaryan, who was detained together with Nadim. It is likely that he remains in detention in Nigeria.",

      "body": "It's been a long time since there was any news from Sam Altman's Worldcoin project. For those who are hearing about this project for the first time, a little background information:\n\nThe concept of the project as a whole is simple: as artificial intelligence becomes more and more active in everyday life, it will be increasingly difficult to distinguish between humans and machines. That's why we need a way to \"prove the humanity\" of people - a solution that Worldcoin calls proof of personhood.\n\nWorldcoin scans people's eyeballs with the Orb device, a reflective metal ball that records information about a person's iris in the form of a cryptographic code. \n\nEveryone who has been scanned will receive periodic grants in WLD tokens, and the project's creators are positioning this as a form of universal basic income. As of the end of 2023, the project has scanned the irises of just over 4 million people. These individuals, if they do not reside in the US, will each receive 25 WLD tokens in the form of an eirdrop. By the way, the price of one token is currently $8.25. And since the launch of the project and the first queues from the mentally challenged, the token has grown 4 times.\n\nThis concept of a bright digital future with one single identifier in the World ID, which also guarantees you an unconditional basic income in the future, could be believed if your IQ does not exceed 40 or if you are in favor of vaccines, climate agenda and Biden-Obama, because all those whose IQ is above 40 and who are against the digital concentration camp are considered conspiracy theorists and obscurantists by the supporters of digital inclusion.\n\nThe project has already been plagued by scandals in the incomplete year of its development. And the first of them is connected with the hacking of the Orb database, when all the data of the fools, who sold their biometrics to an obscure murky guy Sam for $50, leaked into the network. \n\nSo who's behind the worldwide biometric census? Turns out, nothing surprising. Same old, same old. The corporation of good and light, the cradle of the world missile-bombing and petrodollar vaccine-quarantine mrn-democracy - the US government.\n\nIt has been learned that the US government has been trying to convince Kenyan officials to lift the suspension of Worldcoin operations in the country. Home Affairs Minister Kiture Kindiki said the suspension will remain in place and a review of the decision is not being considered.\n\nKindiki disclosed the U.S. government's lobbying efforts on behalf of Worldcoin during a meeting of the Kenyan Parliament's Public Petitions Committee. The US government's demand for Worldcoin to resume operations comes more than six months after the cryptocurrency project was banned.\n\n\n![ScreenShot_20240326203409.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXqWBWkHY8BNNCNmkGGdQSfsTw2jWxRGYbXAyuiMEJnrv/ScreenShot_20240326203409.jpeg)\n\nThe US intervened on behalf of Worldcoin when Kenyan authorities briefly detained executives of the cryptocurrency project as they prepared to leave the country. US officials claimed that the two executives, Alex Blania and Thomas Scott, had not committed any acts that warranted their arrest. \n\nIt is now clear who is behind Sam Altman, his ChatGPT and Worldcoin. It's all the same beloved US intelligence agencies and the US Democratic Party. Although the precedent itself is beautiful. \n\nThe U.S. government, represented by the SEC, is cracking down on and judging independent crypto projects, and with the other hand, through the State Department, is pushing the WLD scam-coin and global collection of biometric information.",

However, it turned out that it was not about the bitcoin founder, but about the owner of the bitcoin.com domain, Roger Vera, who expressed doubts about the prospects of bitcoin and sold off his cryptocurrency stock. Instead, he invested all of his funds in Bitcoin Cash, believing it to be a more promising asset.\n\nA popular comment on Reddit r/bitcoin on May 6, 2018 accused Roger Ver, owner of bitcoin.com, of creating Bitcoin Cash in order to scam people and disdain real bitcoiners.\n\nNow it has become clear that Roger Ver had important information about bitcoin and decided to reveal it to the world with his book \"Capturing Bitcoin: The Hidden History of BTC\". In this book, he offers an alternative viewpoint on the development and history of bitcoin, supported by the ideas of economist Jeffrey Tucker. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon and its official release is scheduled for April 4, 2024.\n\nThe book discusses various aspects of bitcoin, including the basics of the cryptocurrency, the debate over its role as a medium of exchange and store of value, and the challenges of scaling and the Lightning network.\n\nVera and Tucker believe that bitcoin was intended to free the world from centralized control of money, but that ideal was undermined from within when a group of insiders took over the project.\n\nAccording to Amazon, Vera's book is ranked number one in the Economics category, indicating a lot of interest in this exposé. We can only wait to see what sensational details will be revealed in the book and how many times Bitcoin Cash will be mentioned in it.",

He usually displays increased alarmism towards the US dollar, but this time he drew attention to new problems within the system outside of the dollar.\n\n\"Rich Dad, Poor Dad,\" co-written with Sharon Lechter in 1997, has been a New York Times bestseller for more than six years. The book has been translated into more than 51 languages and released in more than 109 countries, totaling more than 32 million copies.\n\nKiyosaki shared on his X account his love for gold, silver and oil and his ownership of gold, silver mines and oil wells. However, he emphasized that the problem with these commodities is that \"the higher the prices go, the more they are found.\"\n\nKiyosaki noted that the situation is different with bitcoin, as regardless of the increase in its price, there will always be only 21 million coins. \"That's why I prefer bitcoin,\" he emphasized.\n\nThe recent spike in the bitcoin price, driven by massive demand for bitcoin-ETFs, has emphasized the limited supply of bitcoin. Currently, miners are only mining about 900 new BTC daily, and that supply will be cut in half after the halving in April. While nine new spot bitcoin-ETFs are rapidly accumulating bitcoins, far exceeding daily mining capacity.\n\nMany expect the bitcoin price to rise significantly due to supply and demand dynamics. Bernstein analysts are now more confident that the price of BTC will reach $150,000 by mid-2025.\n\nScott Melker, also known as \"The Wolf of All Streets,\" sees the beginning of a major rise in bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole. Galaxy Digital's CEO, Mike Novogratz, echoes this view, emphasizing the \"unbridled momentum\" in spot bitcoin ETFs.\n\nBitwise's Matt Hougan foresees a potential rise above $200,000 this year, citing \"too much demand and not enough supply.\" Hougan expects a \"season of everything.\" Even billionaire investor Mark Cuban recognizes bitcoin's scarcity as a key factor in its value proposition.\n\nKiyosaki, a passionate bitcoin maximalist, has consistently made bold predictions about BTC prices. Last week, he stated that bitcoin is \"on fire\" and heading towards the $300,000 mark.\n\nHe urges investors to act quickly, noting that even a $500 investment could be a good start. He previously predicted a price of $100,000 by June, viewing any dips as buying opportunities.\n\nEl Salvador's president, Naib Bukele, an even more ardent bitcoin maximalist, announced that El Salvador has been buying one bitcoin every day since November 18, 2021, and has no intention of stopping the practice until bitcoin is no longer available for purchase with fiat money.\n\nTo prove his openness, Bukele published the address of the El Salvador cold wallet. He thinks it's a good strategy to buy one BTC every day after breakfast, regardless of the price. In time, most of the world will probably regret not taking advantage of this opportunity.\n\nTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)",

Its name comes from regular deposits of 100 bitcoins, indicating possible ownership by a wealthy investor from the Middle East. However, analysts at Arkham Intelligence suggest that the wallet is actually owned by South Korean exchange Upbit.\n\nRecently, interest in \"Mr. 100\", a wallet with the address \"1Ay8v\" and a balance of 52,996.88 BTC, has increased significantly. This wallet ranks as the 14th largest bitcoin holder and has been attracting attention from the crypto community, especially on the X platform.\n\nThere is speculation that \"Mr. 100\" may be linked to the Qatari billionaire, but analysts point to the wallet's likely affiliation with the Upbit exchange. Arkham Intelligence expressed confidence in this, noting the wallet's connections to other wallets on the exchange.\n\nRumors about the nature of the wallet and its origin can be misleading, but analysts point to the likelihood of the wallet belonging to Upbit. This is supported by the consolidation of deposits and transfers to the exchange's hot wallets.\n\nNevertheless, the situation raises questions about the reliability of the Upbit exchange and its financial strength in a volatile market. Caution and preference for cold wallets to store cryptocurrency to avoid potential risks is advised.",

During the same period, these tokens have also outperformed major AI-related stocks such as Nvidia and Microsoft.\n\nAccording to the report, this data suggests that the price of AI-focused tokens could continue to rise even if the price of bitcoin begins to decline. However, this price decline could lead to increased volatility during periods of bitcoin's decline.\n\nThe report provides an example of the price movement of the Worldcoin token to show the relationship between the performance of AI-related tokens and news headlines about AI.\n\nAccording to the report, even with the release of the Worldcoin World ID 2.0 update on December 13, 2023, the value of the WLD coin did not show significant growth. However, after the Worldcoin project was promoted by founder Sam Altman just two days later, the value of WLD increased by 50%.\n\nSimilarly, when OpenAI, also associated with Altman, released Sora, the price of WLD nearly tripled. Even though Worldcoin's $80 billion value remained below that of OpenAI, which was already generating about $2 billion a year in revenue.\n\nHowever, the Coinbase report concludes that many \"short-term drivers of constant demand\" are still missing in AI-related token trading. The lack of clear forecasts and adoption rates means that trading in such tokens is largely based on \"information speculation.\"\n\nThe report concludes that \"price and utility will eventually converge,\" but it remains an open question how long this will take and whether utility will grow in line with price or vice versa. Nevertheless, the ongoing constructive crypto market and outperformance of the artificial intelligence sector may keep information pressure on the crypto-II market strong for some time.\n\nInvestors interested in trading AI-related tokens are advised to be cautious and explore how such tokens could be a better alternative before investing.\n\nIt is important to note that none of the market analysts predicted the possible movement of the AI token market. While altcoins related to new blockchain technologies including web3, layer 2 ether and defi were expected to grow, the real boom has been in AI tokens.\n\nWhile Coinbase believes that the growth of AI altcoins may be due to information hype, other projects with the same level of attention have not shown similar growth.\n\nFor those who believe an \"altcoin spring\" is coming, it is important to consider AI altcoins as their growth has not yet peaked. In 2024, AI companies may present revolutionary new projects to the market that change the perception of AI capabilities and its impact on the industry.\n\nRecently, ChatGPT has been integrated into the body of a robot, allowing the AI to interact with humans and analyze the surrounding information in real time.",

Who knows what's going on in the market? Spoiler: no one. However, statistics allow us to see trends.\n\nYesterday, March 7, 9 new ETFs\n\n Bought 100% of newly mined bitcoins.\n Bought 100% of the BTC sold by GBTC.\n Bought another 4,800 BTC from others willing to sell.\n\nIt's only been 39 trading days since the new bitcoin ETFs opened, in which they've bought 400,000 bitcoins totaling $27 billion and yet they're all in the plus. \n\n3. Most importantly: All this time, rich wallets (with wealth over 100 BTC) were buying bitcoins and poor wallets under 100 BTC were selling them.\n\nDon't say later that the rich are greedy and dishonest and bought up all bitcoin and it's now non-centralized, while the poor are very smart and for justice. You are being robbed in broad daylight, and you continue to believe in ridiculous fantasies of lovers of murky schemes.\n\nTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)",

Nearly two decades before the bitcoin network became a digital revolution, Nobel laureate Milton Friedman foresaw the emergence of digital currencies. His prediction of a digital currency facilitating anonymous transactions was key to understanding the evolution of digital finance.\n\nPrior to the concept of bitcoin, visionaries such as Henry Ford, R. Buckminster Fuller, and Friedrich Hayek envisioned monetary systems resembling modern digital currencies. Their foresight, similar to the cyberpunks, laid the groundwork for the financial revolution that eventually led to the emergence of cryptocurrencies.\n\nIn a 1999 interview conducted by the National Taxpayers Union, Friedman noted, \"I think the Internet is going to be a major force in reducing the role of government.\"\n\nFriedman's prediction emphasized the potential for digital currencies to provide unprecedented privacy and efficiency in financial transactions, laying down a significant shift away from traditional banking systems.\n\nHis foresight of digital currencies such as bitcoin (BTC) reflects his deep understanding of the Internet's potential to change the financial landscape in the infancy of the Internet. Friedman's vision was not just about technology, but also about the broader implications for economic freedom and privacy.\n\nA quote from a 1999 Friedman interview perfectly captures his vision:\n\n\"The one thing we lack, but which will soon be developed, is reliable electronic cash. A method that allows you to make purchases on the Internet, transferring funds from point A to point B without disclosing information about point B, and vice versa.\"\n\nFriedman envisioned that the internet would reduce the traditional means of revenue collection for government in all industries except money printing. He said: \"The most important way I think the Internet will affect the big problem is that it will make it harder for the government to collect taxes.\"\n\nAlthough Milton Friedman passed away without witnessing the realization of his ideas for digital currencies, his predictions for decentralized systems and electronic cash remain relevant today.\n\nFriedman's vision of decentralized currencies and electronic cash did indeed come true with the emergence of Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin. Nakamoto's innovations changed the financial landscape, laying the foundation for new financial technologies that foster freedom.\n\nDespite this, as Friedman pointed out, we stand only at the very beginning of the financial revolution, as governments can still collect taxes and seek to maintain this monopoly forever, even at the expense of creating digital prisons.\n\nHowever, something tells me that the genius of Satoshi Nakamoto foresaw this development and bitcoin simply won't allow the forced transfer of everyone to a global digital paradise. Bitcoin will definitely overcome the predatory world of exploitation that has ruled the earth for millennia.",

      "body": "A new pricing model has emerged that presents a mathematical approach to predicting the future value of bitcoin - \"Bitcoin's Law of Power\". It is based on principles of algebra and laws of nature, predicting that bitcoin will reach record highs, reaching $1 million per unit by 2033.\n\nThis law suggests a predictable trajectory for the price of BTC, reflecting patterns similar to natural phenomena governed by power laws. Fred Krueger and Giovanni Santostasi, proponents of BTC, developed the formula (Indicative Price = A multiplied by (days from GB) ^ n), where GB denotes the Genesis block and (n) is set equal to 5.8, to trace the movement of the BTC price from the beginning.\n\nThis model not only accurately reflects the historical changes in bitcoin's price, but also predicts an increase to $1 million per coin by 2033 and an impressive $10 million by 2045.\n\nFinney, the eventual creator of bitcoin, has previously suggested a value of $10 million per coin, which is consistent with the model's prediction.\n\nThis approach to BTC's growth is consistent with its decentralized nature and assumes a steady increase in interest and adoption over time, instead of sudden fluctuations.\n\nSantostasi's model, validated by regression analysis, predicts growth with 95.3% accuracy, making it highly reliable for backers. It proposes a steady but significant increase in bitcoin's value gradually.\n\nProponents argue that bitcoin's growth exhibits a scalable relationship over time, similar to patterns in nature. This implies a gradual increase in bitcoin's value regardless of its initial size, which is characteristic of complex systems.\n\nWhile explosive growth of bitcoin should not be expected, it will continue to grow gradually according to the logarithmic model, experiencing temporary fluctuations. However, in the long term, bitcoin remains a solid investment instrument, attracting the attention of large investors who are just beginning to invest in it.\n\nTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)",

This could mean that advertising prices in Telegram ADS will be expressed in TON or will move to this currency designation over time. This move promises to be an interesting one, as the volume of ad traffic on Telegram could be a key factor in stabilizing TON, reducing its volatility and providing liquidity. While these changes may not happen instantly, they have the potential to become a reality over time.\n\nAs a result, Durov could create a new reality free of trading bots that manipulate prices on exchanges. The move could also lead to an increase in TON trading and establish it as the main currency on Telegram.\n\nDurov's decision may have to do with the recent disagreement between him and the SEC. He may have decided to de-dollarize his platform, appealing to more users than the US. While this may seem like a fantasy, such expectations have been inherent in many cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.\n\nThe decision to share 50% of ad revenue is a generous gesture on Durov's part. This approach could attract more content creators and help Telegram grow. It is beneficial for all parties and could lead to an increase in activity on the platform.\n\nDurov is acting long-term and his moves could change the game in the cryptocurrency market. He understands the value of data in today's world and aims to use it to his advantage.",

He emphasized that \"At the end of the day, 1 BTC = 1 BTC,\" regardless of changes in the market price. Bukele also pointed out that at high bitcoin prices, the sale would generate a profit of over 40%, but the country's main source of BTC is the bitcoin citizenship program.\n\nBukele noted that many articles in the past have predicted losses from BTC investments, but the authors are now silent. Many have praised his strong stance on bitcoin, although critics, such as Peter Schiff, have called for realizing gains before talking about it. Bukele, however, remains steadfast.\n\nThe Salvadoran government plans to issue bitcoin-backed bonds and continue building Bitcoin City. The IMF has called for BTC to be abandoned as legal tender, but El Salvador remains committed to bitcoin.\n\nThe analogy of herbivores and predators points to the difference in approach to the market. A predator has a strategy, whereas herbivores are exposed to danger and cannot strategize because of the need to search for food on a daily basis. Herbivores that survive maintain a population for predators. As a result, many following the temptation of instant profit may be duped by marketers and manipulators, missing the opportunity for long-term benefits.\n\nStrategists did not take profit on their $64K BTC position yesterday and today. This was done by herbivores. Since they need to eat every day.\n\nBut eventually, they will be eaten by marketers, manipulators, scammers and other hyenas before bitcoin reaches $200,000. The predator feeds solely on meat, the herbivores feed on whatever they find, including bitcoins and HYIPs.",

However, only 10% of those views are currently monetized through Telegram ads specifically designed with privacy in mind.\n\nIn March, Telegram's advertising platform will be available to all advertisers in nearly one hundred new countries. Channel owners in these countries will receive 50% of the revenue generated by Telegram from advertising on their channels.\n\nTo ensure fast and secure payments and withdrawals for advertising, the TON blockchain will be used exclusively. Similar to the approach with Telegram usernames on Fragment, ads will be sold and revenue will be shared with channel owners in Toncoin. This will create a favorable interaction where content creators can both cash out their tokens and reinvest them in promoting and improving their channels.\n\nAfter yesterday's announcement from Pavel Durov about the integration of Telegram ADS with the blockchain and the $TON token, interest in the ecosystem has increased significantly.\n\nJetTon is a gaming platform built on the TON blockchain and integrated into the Telegram messenger.\n\nThe project was launched in August 2023 and already has an impressive track record:\n\n- Over 1 million registered users\n- More than 13,000 daily players\n- TVL of the JETTON token - $1.5 million\n- 3,500 games, of which 19 are developed by the JetTon team\n- Curaçao license\n\nOne of the co-founders of the project is Marat Minkin. Today at 19:00 MSC he will hold an AMA session where he will talk about:\n\n- Updates to the 2024 roadmap\n- New utilities of $JETTON token\n- Launching a gaming ecosystem on the $JETTON token economy\n- Plans to list on Tier 1 exchanges\n- Revenue Sharing mechanism for holders and stakers of the $JETTON token\n\nJetTon already has a finished product and a liquid token. Given the growing popularity of Telegram and TON, the project has every chance to take a leading position in the TON ecosystem.",

      "body": "A new record has been set. Over the past month, the bitcoin price has risen significantly and by early this week had surpassed the $57,000 mark for the first time since November 2021.\n\nThis price increase has triggered increased interest in bitcoin-based derivatives, leading to record levels of open interest in bitcoin futures. Total open interest reached more than $24 billion, surpassing previous levels set in both 2021 and 2017.\n\nThis increase in activity in the futures market has pushed total open interest to over $24 billion. Since mid-October 2023, bitcoin derivatives have seen significant growth in both open interest and total futures volume.\n\nOpen interest in derivatives markets is defined as the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as futures, that remain active.\n\nThis is an indicator of capital inflows into the bitcoin derivatives market. Currently, open interest in bitcoin futures has reached a record high of $24.44 billion as of February 27, 2024.\n\nThis surpassed the previous record of $23.06 billion set the day before bitcoin reached $69,000 per unit in November 2021.\n\nCME Group leads the bitcoin derivatives market in terms of open interest in bitcoin futures with a volume of 137,550 BTC or equivalent to $7.77 billion, representing a significant 31.79% of the total market share. Binance follows in second place with 108,280 BTC or $6.13 billion and Bybit is in third place with $4.10 billion.\n\nOkx is also a significant market participant with $2.47 billion worth of bitcoin futures.\n\nOther major exchanges offering BTC futures include Bitget, Bingx and Deribit. In addition to the strong performance of bitcoin futures, open interest in bitcoin options is also significantly high.\n\nWhile the current figure has not surpassed the open interest in BTC options recorded in December 2023, it has already surpassed the highs of April and November 2021. On Tuesday, February 27, the bitcoin price in the spot markets reached a high of $57,315 on Bitstamp.\n\nThus, similar to other market signals, the level of open interest in bitcoin futures is a good indicator of trader sentiment. An increase in open interest usually indicates a bullish trend, while a decrease indicates a bearish trend. Right now, a bullish trend prevails by all metrics.\n\nThose who suggest getting ready to short bitcoin positions are probably leaning towards the theory of altcoins taking off. It should be understood that although bitcoin and altcoins are traded on the same exchanges and have similar characteristics, bitcoin is an innovation, while altcoins are more often seen as objects of gambling. The choice depends on your preferences.\n\nTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)",

One email in particular, labeled as number #3, offers unprecedented insight into Nakamoto's thoughts on Bitcoin's scalability, economic framework and prospects.\n\nSatoshi Nakamoto, in detailed correspondence with Martti \"Sirius\" Malmi, outlines the key features of Bitcoin, emphasizing the developers' focus on security and accessibility for users.\n\nEmail #3, reveals Nakamoto's plans to implement an escrow feature to facilitate more secure physical transactions and the eventual exchange of digital currency for fiat money. This strategic approach demonstrates Nakamoto's foresight in creating a solid foundation for Bitcoin's integration into the broader economy.\n\n\"Next, I plan to work on the escrow feature, which is necessary to make actual transactions of physical goods more secure, and before fiat money starts backing the currency,\" Nakamoto explained on May 3, 2009.\n\nSpeaking of Bitcoin's scalability, Nakamoto confidently states that bitcoin can surpass existing payment networks such as Visa in terms of transaction throughput, and Moore's Law guarantees the network's ability to handle growth. \n\nSatoshi's optimism about scalability contradicts the widespread criticism of Bitcoin's performance today.\n\nNakamoto wrote, \"Visa's existing credit card network processes about 15 million online purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale far beyond that with existing hardware at a fraction of the cost. \n\nIt will never actually reach its scaling limit. If you're interested, I can talk about how it will handle extreme loads. According to Moore's Law, we can expect hardware speeds to be 10 times faster in 5 years and 100 times faster in 10. Even if bitcoin transactions grow at a crazy rate, I think the speed of computers will outpace the number of transactions.\"\n\nIn essence, Satoshi Nakamoto's view of bitcoin reveals an extensive plan to create a digital currency that is decentralized, scalable, and secure, all laid out in just one of Malmy's many emails. Nakamoto's recently published records, consisting of more than 100 emails, will likely come under scrutiny during 2024.\n\nOne would very much like to get details from Satoshi himself as to how, with the increase in the power of the mining equipment, the bandwidth of the network will increase. After all, a block is found plus or minus once every ten minutes and the number of transactions in a block is limited by its size.\n\nThe current size of a single bitcoin block ranges from 2.35MB to 1.35MB. The last block processed was 1.9 MB in size. How 150k transactions can be included there to compete with VISA is not clear yet. We are waiting for the remaining hundreds of letters to be checked and interpreted by specialists. \n\nHowever, there is a high probability of manipulation of the bitcoin network. After all, if the letters turn out to be fake, they can affect the core developers and they can make changes in the code, such as increasing the number of blocks per minute or increasing the block in tens or even hundreds of times, which has already been repeatedly proposed by the sent benefactors and was firmly rejected by the team of the core developers.",

However, the exchange itself is also in danger of being shut down.\n\nThe historic $4.3 billion settlement with Binance has been approved by a Seattle judge. Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by international trading volume, must pay the said amount after Judge Jones authorized the plea agreement.\n\nThis settlement agreement is considered the largest in the history of litigation. All previous settlements, including the $3.5 billion deal with American Home Products, the $3.2 billion settlement with Tyco International and the $2.83 billion in fines paid to Cendant Corporation, were smaller.\n\nThree days earlier, prosecutors had asked a U.S. court to approve the fine imposed on the cryptocurrency exchange. The court's decision was covered Friday by Bloomberg's Sabrina Wilmer and Anna Edgerton. They quoted Judge Jones' opinion, saying, \"This is really a case where a company's ethics were undermined by greed.\"\n\nIn addition to a hefty fine, Binance agreed to oversight by an outside watchdog, and its founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, was ordered to step down. Richard Tan, Binance's global head of regional markets, was appointed CEO. Binance's deputy legal director, Josh Eaton, admitted that the cryptocurrency exchange \"accepts full responsibility for its past and for what led to the present situation.\"\n\nThe attorney also emphasized that the company is proud of the \"compliance improvements\" it has implemented. CZ is preparing for sentencing, which is scheduled for April, and faces approximately 18 months in prison.\n\nDespite attempts to secure permission to leave the U.S. prior to sentencing, the former CEO has been ordered to remain in the continental United States. CZ's plea bargain was accepted by the court in December 2023.\n\nThus, U.S. regulators came to the decision to fine the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and left its founder without a position and imposed an incredibly large fine.\n\nThe terms under which Binance will continue to operate include full oversight of the exchange by a representative of the US government for five years, effectively meaning indefinite oversight.\n\nGoodbye, world's largest exchange, you will be missed. Unfortunately, the usual case of raiding and illegally disposing of the assets of the best and most liquid crypto exchange in the world has occurred. The exchange's only crime is that it has become too large and influential.\n\nAttempts by American bankers to displace Binance from its leading position have failed. FTX was once a serious contender for global supremacy, but found itself targeted by banks and the US Democratic Party to undermine stablecoins and confidence in the industry.\n\nCoinbase, which could rather be called a \"junk exchange\" than a crypto exchange, was also under the scrutiny of bankers and actively supported by them.\n\nIn the U.S. market, action was taken against Bitfinex, Kraken, Gemini, and many other trading platforms were destroyed or banned in order to undermine all legal crypto trading.\n\nto bring all legal cryptocurrency trading under control. Now Binance has become the object of similar measures.",

The photo was provided by one of his cellmates who left his face uncovered.\n\nSBF is awaiting sentencing by the court on March 28, 2024. In late January, the current FTX management finally gave up on trying to rebuild the exchange. Customers are expecting compensation for their lost funds. Their cryptocurrencies will be returned in dollar equivalent at the exchange rate at the time of the bankruptcy, roughly the bitcoin price of $17k.\n\nIt's a good scheme. You open a crypto exchange, use other people's money to buy bitcoins, then transfer part of the money to the US Democratic Party under the pretext of guaranteeing freedom, and transfer the other part of the stolen funds to a safe place for safekeeping.\n\nAfter that, you leave a fourth part, wait for bitcoin to grow 4 times, and return all the dollars at the exchange rate at the time of the hack, promising to remove all claims to the exchange.\n\nYou file an appeal with the court, providing all statements of settlement with creditors, showing \"pure contrition\" and refunds to creditors. The court, given the remorse and repayment, enters a judgment of acquittal and releases you from custody right in the courtroom.\n\nThus, you go free as an honest billionaire, albeit without reputation, but with money. Perhaps not everything will go smoothly in the prison environment in the next couple of years, but you can promise a share for good behavior and serve your time softly. However, anything can happen in these places. People have already joked about Sam's dangerous prison environment under the photo.",

In the past, the predictions of public gurus have not always matched the actual results.\n\nIt is not only what a person says that matters, but also what they do. For example, Mike Saylor compared bitcoin to gold in his portfolio. He purchased his first bitcoins on August 10, 2020. Since then, bitcoin is up 333% while gold is down 1%.\n\nAnother well-known investor, Stanley Drakenmiller, formerly associated with George Soros' Quantum Fund, has gotten rid of tech stocks. He sold $112 million worth of Alphabet (Google) shares in the last quarter of 2023 after buying them in the third quarter of 2023. He also got rid of shares of Amazon and Broadcom.\n\nHowever, while expressing optimism about gold, Drakenmiller made small bets on two gold mining companies, Barrick Gold and Newmont.\n\nIn addition, Drakenmiller maintains an interest in artificial intelligence. He owns more than $400 million worth of Microsoft stock and Nvidia stock. He has also reported buying shares of Adobe and Arista.\n\nIn addition to bitcoin and gold, real investors are also actively investing in artificial intelligence. Sam Altman's Worldcoin Project (WLD) is up 160% in just a few days after launching its Sora product. This technology can create cinematic quality without the need for expensive filming and movie studios.",
