Yeah I do think that played a large role along with Vance's age. He was the youngest person in the Senate!
I am listening to CNBC and they do not think this changes the rate changes but does see another stock market pullback
Thank you! So here are the people on the board when the deal closes... I do not know anything about them honestly but was happy to see the CEO of Fold will be staying on the board!
Fold Director Reeves will be joined on the combined company’s Board of Directors by Brace Young and FTAC Emerald Director Andrew Hohns, along with Jonathan Kirkwood of Ten31. Mr. Young is the President and CEO of FTAC Emerald, and previously served as CEO of Mariner Investment Group and Managing Director of Goldman Sachs. Dr. Hohns is a Director of FTAC Emerald and the CEO of Newmarket Capital, the structured finance asset manager, and its subsidiary, Battery Finance, focusing on bitcoin-driven credit and specialty finance. Dr. Kirkwood is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Ten31, a leading bitcoin venture capital and private equity platform.
I do not know anyone that is around her staff enough to really say for certain but I would say if you are going to Mark Cuban to explain BTC and crypto stuff to you I feel like you are pretty out of the loop.
Trump is pretty educated in the area and more importantly with what he doesn't know he has surrounded himself with people that do know and can inform him. JD Vance is a BTC owner and a very vocal Sen. on the hill about the government having a very very light touch when it comes to crypto and imposing regulations
Thank you for this fantastic breakdown! I have a couple of questions if you are able to clarify some things with this I'd appreciate it! What is toxic waste in the way you are mentioning it and what does it do? Also, could you explain a little what the difference is between a multisig escrow instead of an on-chain ZKP verifier?
Thanks in advance!
Realistically how close are we to real covenants then? This was the first time I had ever heard of them and was instantly fascinated by the idea because of what I feel they could unlock! Or are they something that really likely will never come to fruition for either technological or use case issues?
For the most part in Congress the politicians that are going to change have and those that haven't wont. Elizabeth Warren made it clear today that she isn't going to change her mind and in the Ohio Senate race BTC and crypto have become a huge focus as the Sen. running for reelection is the one that has stonewalled all crypto legislation in the Senate for the last few years!
Yeah Im not gunna lie I was surprised it didnt gain more traction either! It doesn't require a hard fork I did get a little confused if it would need a soft fork or not but none the less it is a remarkable advance in tech! Esp this section
ZKPs can be used to create covenants—conditional payments that cannot be executed unless the right proof is provided. This is the key to building a decentralized Bitcoin bridge
If I had to guess it is because she does not know anything about BTC and the policy. Mark Cuban has already come out and said her campaign reached out to him to help educate her and her team doesn't want her to embarrass herself while she has the momentum.
9:30 PM
FINAL UPDATE
All road closures and building restrictions/closures have been lifted. It seems like it is dying down and I haven't heard any helicopters in the last half hour which is nice.
Sidenote
Tomorrow is the last day the House of Reps will be in session till Sep. 9th. While we have not been told of any changes to the security posture it will be interesting tomorrow morning on if the fencing is still all up and if PD is still on alert. Tomorrow is when The PM and VP are supposed to meet.
On a funny note left-leaning/left-wing X is melting down that Sen. Fetterman wore a suit for a joint session with a foreign dignitary. He is being compared to simping for Hilter which... I mean wow....
In my eyes DEI was never supposed to turn a profit rather it was supposed to make the public and shareholders happy. Given that it hasn't produced results they could point at and was a cash-burning pit yeah it was dragging down profits and they did not get anything out of it. I mean there has been growing backlash against DEI because they have not produced meaningful results
Update as of 8 PM EST
The BIG hot spot Union Station was absolutely trashed
- American flags were pulled down and lit on fire Palestinian were raised in their place
- Statues and a bell covered in spray paint, worse the spray paint read "Make us proud. Take another solider down" and "Hamas is Coming"...
- Police officers were assaulted plan and simple some idiots tried to attack police officers and it didn't go well
Other areas
- Pepper spray was used a lot all over DC with these protests
- Arrests were made but not of everyone... thankfully there are more videos and pictures of these people to identify them and bring them to justice.
One place of concern at least for me is once the sun sets what is going to happen then... this could get kickstarted again
Ngl they are dead. The people protesting here today I would like to think do not represent the US because of how unhinged they were. At one point they started attacking and trying to drag off police officers
Lol! I mean no hate to the person but I found it funny since we used the same site and everything! I thought there was a mech. to catch dupes but I guess it is either outta service or has some areas that need to be worked on!
Huge kudos to the in-depth and well written issue here! I look forward to reading the comments to see what other people are thinking because I am honestly right in the middle about what should or should not be done. I see the pros and cons of both and maybe someone in the comments will finally hit me with a point that swings me more one way or another!
They dumped on Lightening Network big time to....
“The Lightning Network was, unfortunately, a very overhyped scaling solution,” said Edan Yago, core contributor to BitcoinOS, to Decrypt. “As a technology, because it’s pre-funded, and because you need to hop between multiple players, it is only appropriate for a very small number of niche applications.”
It is odd to me that somehow you were able to post the same article as me though lol
