Research Round Up – Week of April 21 2024
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Another halving in the books, eh? So many of you probably went to outstanding parties, celebrated with friends, or sat in your basement watching mempool.space on your phone while playing video games (me). Halvings are great – they remind us why we’re in Bitcoin: the predetermined nature of the issuance policy, the […]
Upcoming Week For The CBP – April 21, 2024
Blockheight: 840205 Howdy Bitcoiners, With the halving taking place on April 19, 2024, we have entered Bitcoin’s 5th epoch. What’s in store moving forward? Nobody knows. Anyone who claims to know what will happen is full of shit, and they are likely talking about “projects” that are nearly risk free. Fuck them all. Another […]
Upcoming Week For The CBP – April 14, 2024
Blockheight: 839186 Howdy Bitcoiners, The last 24 hours shows how finicky are bitcoin traders. So many questions: how much would the price of bitcoin have been impacted if this happened when ETFs are being traded? Why didn’t Coinbase go down? Why are people selling bitcoin when a conflict means money printing? Why is […]
Research Round Up – Week of April 14 2024
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES We’re poorer now than we were a week ago but we’ve made so many friends along the way that it doesn’t matter. It also doesn’t matter because the ETFs are still absolutely screaming in terms of inflows and GBTC is slowing down it’s outflows as clients either decide they don’t want the […]
Upcoming Week For The CBP – April 7, 2024
Blockheight: 838132 Howdy Bitcoiners, The halving is upon us, transaction fees are still cheap, and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of hype around what is coming up. For those who have not yet done so, it is a good time to consolidate your transactions. As of writing this, average fees are […]
Research Round Up – Week of April 7, 2024
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Are you sure, I mean REALLY SURE, that the economy is that bad? Or is it possible that it’s just you? That you’ve imagined all of this, in some kind of odd fever-dream, and that things are really just gucci as the kids say (they might start saying something else soon, given that saying gucci […]
Why Do I Need 5 Different Payment Apps?
Why do I need 5 different payment apps? Bitcoin Scribe (@BitcoinScribe) Let me set a familiar scene: You’ve just finished dinner with several friends. Wine bottles and large plates littered with empty t-bones are scattered across the table. The waitress asks how you’d like to split the bill. Knowing the absolute chaos a bill split […]
Upcoming Week For The CBP – March 31, 2024
Blockheight: 837101 Howdy Bitcoiners, Bitcoin art blocks. WTF is this shit? The less written about it, the better. The good news is that the filter movement continues to gain steam. There seems to be a lot more options available to node runners, to quickly and conveniently filter out the trash from their mempool. […]
Research Round Up – Week of March 31, 2024
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Happy Easter, first of all – whether you’re a religious person or not, it feels good to see some physical and spiritual signs of life out there after another Canadian Winter – though, I must say, the Winter does go by just a little bit faster when you spend your days bundled […]
Research Round Up – Week of March 24 2024
FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Since many of you have asked over the years, I’m going to start posting some of the research I do for The CBP Monday show in advance of the stream (if I remember) for your reading and browsing enjoyment. This week TD Talks Federal Budget: Freeland’s recent comments on Liberal budget promises […]
