Soul bound tokens #SBTs are the craziest yet. Why would you need a blockchain for something like this? https://twitter.com/iamjasonlevin/status/1527316022457356301
https://twitter.com/AnselLindner/status/1527811999937306624

Apparently Soul Bind Tokens (SBTs), which are NFTs that can’t be moved, may be the new thing

E.g.; (NFTs of) college degrees shouldn’t move hands

However, if the proof that I own the degree (SBT) is still a digital signature & I give you my sig, wouldn’t that still be the case?

Good video to better understand the current monetary policy of the FED and how it impacts #bitcoin 👀

TODAY on an epic Alpha Beta Soup, we're talking econ:

💸 Bitcoin + QT
💰 The wealth effect
🏠 Home prices vs Income
🛍️ Consumer strength
🗒️ The Fed's plan

Pour a beverage and keep a second close by. Lots to discuss, friends!

2/2 When split per 4-year halving cycle, we see that BPT 🌡️ rose early but never peaked as high as previous cycles

The result of naturally dampening 4-year volatility, an unfavorable broader macro-economic landscape, or perhaps both? 🤷‍♂️

1/2 As anyone sees by now, the #Bitcoin Price Temperature (BPT) 🌡️ has cooled off drastically & is even nearing its freezing point at ~$21.2k ❄️

No guarantees that price will do a full 4-year mean reversion, but there's confluence for a potential bottom in the mid-to-low $20k's

Interesting career switch from leading efforts to build a stablecoin for Facebook to starting a #bitcoin-focused company 👀

I wanted to share that we are starting a new company called @lightspark to explore, build and extend the capabilities and utility of #Bitcoin. As a first step, we’re actively assembling a team to dive deeper into the Lightning Network. (1/3)

Amidst downside price exploration of Coinbase's stock price following bearish earnings reports, the "Coinbase Premium" (difference between Coinbase's BTCUSD & Binance's BTCUSDT pairs) is at a discount not seen since mid-2019 🐻

An alarm bell 🚨, or an arbitrage opportunity ⚖️?

#Bitcoin balances on spot (🟩) and derivatives (🟥) exchanges, as per @cryptoquant_com

Interesting divergence over the last couple of days. Could be a visualization of funds getting sucked up by derivatives exchanges as the result of margin calls during the current dip?

My thoughts are with the retail traders and speculators that fell for the flashy marketing and over-confident promises related to #LUNA ✌️

If you ever wondered where "toxic Bitcoin maximalism" comes from; it is this type of crap, often even an attempt to prevent casualties 👎

I've seen a fair amount of questionable altcoin rug-pulls and implosions over the years, but this rise and fall of #LUNA is probably in a league of its own

At least we have a real blockspace market again now! 😅 #glasshalffull

The mempool is currently "full" which means that network nodes with the default setting of 300MB memory size will kick out and reject low fee transactions currently at 2 sat/vB and lower.

Oh, and don’t toy around with leverage - especially in this environment

If you aren’t bearish enough on “crypto” yet read this thread 🤒

These shenanigans don’t imply to #bitcoin but a collapse is ofc not good for price short-term ❌

Awesome discounts from long-term perspective though ✅

Stay humble, stack sats & don’t put in money you need soon™

Markets are expecting the FED to hike rates all year long, all the way up to 3%

Can the markets handle this without too much mayhem?

Would the FED remain disciplined regardless?

Could they change course as soon as inflation cools down?

Either way; all 👀 on the FED this year

Interesting field study, where the authors conclude that adoption of #bitcoin as a medium is exchange in El Salvador 🇸🇻 is low & declining

One caveat is that it is *very* early to draw “definitive” conclusions. Lets monitor the process & readdress in a few years ✌️

The Central African Republic’s 🇨🇫 adoption of #bitcoin as legal tender is even more interesting when you know a little about their (monetary) history 👀
