Co-Opted By Wall Street: Bitcoin''s Biggest Risk?
11:30pm, Saturday, 04'th Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Co-Opted By Wall Street: Bitcoin''s Biggest Risk? Authored by Rob Price via BitcoinMagazine.com, As bitcoin gains mainstream acceptance from centralized financial institutions, will Wall Street come to ruin what is most powerful about the asset? Bitcoin’s potential is immense — an independent global reserve asset, the foundation of a more ethical financial system, uncorrupted by centralized financial overlords. But what is the risk that bitcoin could become co-opted and corrupted by those centralized financial overlords? What if bitcoin loses its independence? What if bitcoin merely becomes another speculative Wall Street plaything? TLDR: Wall Street’s growing importance is unavoidable as bitcoin goes mainstream, but correlations will not rise indefinitely and bitcoin’s independence remains in the hands of everyday users like me and you. HOW BITCOIN’S TECHNICAL SECURITY ADVANCED IN 2021 The great bitcoin mining migration of 2021 further decentralized bitcoin mining, which enhanced its security and reduced the possibility of a technical attack on the network itself.
Michael Saylor: "Bitcoin Is The Oxygen Mask"
02:55pm, Saturday, 04'th Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Michael Saylor: "Bitcoin Is The Oxygen Mask" "So what is bitcoin, exactly?" Tucker Carlson asks. To explain it, Tucker notes that they scoured the world for someone to explain it that had "skin in the game" and Michael Saylor fits that bill perfectly with billions of his firm MicroStrategy''s balance sheet invested in the cryptocurrency space. Saylor begins: "Bitcoin is the first engineered monetary system in the history of the human racefull stop!" And to explain it, "the first question is ''whats money?''; the second question is ''whats the problem?''; and the third question is ''whats the solution?''." Very effective case for bitcoin here. The oxygen/blood metaphor is excellent. https://t.co/xpotFvXktp Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) December 1, 2021 And so the Microstrategy CEO begins by explaining what is money... "Money is social, economic energy... it is monetary energy." Wending his way from African''s glass beads to gold and on to the present day, the bitcoin advocate notes that "money is that shared ledger of who owes what to whom," explaining the difference between "weak money and strong money" in terms of being able to manufacture glass beads and dump them on Africa-past (glass beads are weak money) analogizing to the dollar (being able to ''manufacture'' dollars and dump them on the world).
