Today’s Bitcoin news!

First we look at the history of the Bitcoin price when each halving happened. It’s so telling when you zoom out this far!

Here are the two articles about how Bitcoin mining is helping so many people in Africa:

With 1.5 BILLION active users, Telegram has added a Bitcoin and crypto wallet — https://primal.net/e/note1g6aduqdt39ql250s7qlw80t69helkvkxtp5dy3d4phr553tljq7sstdj49

A great option for merchants who want to accept Bitcoin payments: Blink and BTCPay Server —
"I can confirm that this set up is amazing. I set up two merchants today using @blinkbtc and @btcpayserver. If you're pushing adoption with merchants in your area, you'd be hard pressed to find an easier setup. 👏 Huge thanks to @nicolas @kukks and @ROCKSTAR for making this happen!”

Abolish the IRS already!:
"To threaten people with a felony charge for not playing the role of tax collector on behalf of the IRS is one of the most despicable and insulting things that has come out of the US government in recent years.”

An important distinction about Nostr:
"You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.”

The price of bitcoin currently around $45k. It went up around 5% ($3k) over the past day or so. But it wouldn't be weird or bad if the price came back down below $40k for a bit until it continues its surge upward over the next 18-24 month bull run.

Jim Cramer, a well-known Bitcoin skeptic, has recently changed his stance on the cryptocurrency. Acknowledging its resilience, he remarked, "you can't kill it," and admitted to its technological marvel. This sentiment echoes that of Michael Saylor, who has long recognized Bitcoin's significance, stating, "Bitcoin is a reality. It’s a technological marvel, and people need to start recognizing that it’s here to stay." Together, their statements mark a notable shift in the perception of Bitcoin's role and longevity in the financial world.

In a bewildering turn of events, Sam Bankman Fried, previously embroiled in a political donation fraud case involving $100k of misappropriated funds mainly given to Democrat organizations, astonishingly had all charges dropped. The rationale provided by the court is as perplexing as it is frustrating – they expressed a desire to expedite his other legal proceedings and swiftly move beyond this issue. This decision starkly illustrates a disturbing pattern of privilege and protection among political elites, a luxury blatantly denied to ordinary citizens.

After the approval of its ETF, gold experienced an 8-year bull run. With the imminent approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF, it's intriguing to speculate how much Bitcoin, a VASTLY superior asset compared to gold, will outperform it. Given Bitcoin's history of consistently outperforming gold, this upcoming phase could be even more significant.

The Bitcoin spot ETF race:
	“SEC tells spot Bitcoin ETF applicants to update submissions by December 29 if they want to be approved in the first wave” - Reuters.
	FIDELITY BITCOIN ETF — A spot Bitcoin ETF will give 124m Americans immediate and direct access to Bitcoin through their brokerage accounts. Fidelity has 43 million brokerage accounts for customers. Fidelity also has a Bitcoin ETF application.
	CNN says "The spot Bitcoin ETF could quickly reach your 401(k) retirement plan...It’s a big step toward mainstream adoption of bitcoin." 🚀

Barry Silbert has resigned as the chairman of Grayscale Investments. He will be replaced by Mark Shifke, the current Chief Financial Officer of Digital Currency Group (DCG), effective January 1. This change was reported in a recent SEC filing by Grayscale. The company is currently awaiting a decision from the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the transformation of its Bitcoin Trust into a U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). Additionally, Mark Murphy, DCG's president, also resigned from the board. This move comes amid ongoing legal challenges faced by DCG, including a lawsuit from the New York Attorney General for alleged investor fraud.

2024 promises to be INSANE!:

In 2024, several major events are expected to occur that have Bitcoin enthusiasts excited and anticipating a significant price increase. These events include:

1. Bitcoin Halving: The Bitcoin halving, also known as "The Halvening," is a significant event expected to occur in April 2024. This event, which happens approximately every four years, will reduce the reward for mining Bitcoin blocks by half, making the supply of new Bitcoins more scarce. Historically, Bitcoin's price has significantly increased a year before and after the halving

2. Bitcoin Spot ETF Approval: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve several spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first quarter of 2024. This approval is anticipated to increase institutional support for Bitcoin, which is considered a significant bullish factor for Bitcoin in 2024.

3. Regulatory Developments: Analysts expect a more aggressive bid to drive bad actors out of the industry, which will help the cryptocurrency market mature and gain mainstream legitimacy.

4. Federal Reserve Rate Cuts: The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its key rate to around 3.75% by the end of 2024. Lower interest rates typically make riskier assets like Bitcoin more attractive, potentially driving up its price.

5. Presidential Election: While the search results do not provide specific information about the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election's impact on Bitcoin, it's worth noting that such major political events can influence financial markets, including cryptocurrencies.

6. Institutional Adoption: U.S. financial institutions are set to take even bigger steps into crypto and Bitcoin in 2024. This increased demand from institutions is expected to drive up Bitcoin's price.

It's important to note that while these events are expected to have a positive impact on Bitcoin's price, they also come with risks. For instance, the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF could potentially lead to a "sell the news" event, causing Bitcoin's price to decline. Additionally, the global regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies remains uncertain, which could lead to unforeseen events.

Time Preference (low and high):

Time preference, when it comes to investing in Bitcoin or any other asset, refers to an individual's inclination towards immediate gratification (consumption) versus future benefits (savings and investment). It's a fundamental concept in economics and behavioral finance that helps to explain an investor's behavior and decision-making process. Here's how it applies to Bitcoin:
— Low Time Preference: Individuals with a low time preference prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards.
— High Time Preference: In contrast, individuals with a high time preference favor immediate gratification and are less inclined to delay rewards.

- wikistr: a wikipedia-style nostr client https://github.com/fiatjaf/wikistr

he doesn’t always like being in the spotlight but the work he does is some of the most important for the overall health of the protocol. thank you fiatjaf! Excited for what’s in store for next year 🎉


What are the most important fundamental aspects of Bitcoin to monitor besides price? Things like hash rate, number of wallet addresses, amount of Bitcoin that hasn't moved in more than a year, etc.

Is there a dashboard somewhere that monitors all this? #asknostr #Bitcoin #BTC

Barry Silbert has resigned as the chairman of Grayscale Investments. He will be replaced by Mark Shifke, the current Chief Financial Officer of Digital Currency Group (DCG), effective January 1. This change was reported in a recent SEC filing by Grayscale.

How did I end up on a spam list?


A letter from the American Founding Fathers:

Title: "On the Principles of Liberty and the Promise of Bitcoin"

To the Esteemed Citizens of the Year 2024:

In the spirit of liberty and the pursuit of untrammeled prosperity, we, the architects of your nation’s infancy, address you from the annals of history with a matter of grave importance and profound potential: the advent and significance of Bitcoin in your era. Just as our struggle for independence was guided by the luminous principles of freedom and self-determination, so too does Bitcoin embody these eternal ideals in your digital age.

1. Decentralization as a Reflection of Self-Governance

During our quest for independence, we championed the principle of self-governance, freeing ourselves from the tyrannical yoke of a distant monarch. Bitcoin, in its essence, represents a similar form of decentralization. It is a currency unbound by the whims of central authorities, offering financial autonomy akin to the political autonomy we so dearly fought for. The decentralized ledger of Bitcoin mirrors the checks and balances we instituted in governance, ensuring no single entity wields unchecked power.

2. Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Our revolution was a testament to resilience, as was the winter at Valley Forge, where perseverance in the face of adversity was paramount. Bitcoin, too, demonstrates resilience, surviving and growing despite numerous challenges and skepticism. It reflects our unwavering commitment to ideals, even when besieged by the forces of doubt and uncertainty.

3. Transparency and Accountability

The Boston Tea Party was not merely a revolt against taxation but a demand for transparency and fairness from our rulers. Bitcoin, with its public and immutable ledger, offers a new paradigm of transparency in financial transactions. In an age where the integrity of financial institutions is often questioned, Bitcoin provides an avenue for accountability, much like our demands for representation and fair governance.

4. Revolutionizing Commerce and Trade

Our rebellion was also a fight for economic independence and the right to trade freely. Bitcoin, in enabling global, borderless transactions, stands as a digital embodiment of these principles. It removes barriers and democratizes access to markets, much as we sought to do in casting off the restrictive trade policies of colonial rule.

5. An Emblem of Innovation and Progress

Finally, just as our Constitution was a groundbreaking document, a beacon of innovation in governance, Bitcoin represents a revolutionary advancement in the realm of currency and finance. It challenges conventional norms and paves the way for a new financial order, reflecting our belief in progress and the relentless pursuit of a better future.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, dear compatriots of the future, Bitcoin is more than a mere digital asset; it is a manifestation of the ideals we held sacred. As you navigate the complexities of your era, we urge you to look to #Bitcoin not just as a technological marvel, but as a symbol of the principles that gave birth to our great nation. May you wield it with the same spirit of liberty, resilience, and foresight with which we founded your Republic.

With Utmost Sincerity and Timeless Solidarity,

[Signatures of the American Founding Fathers]

Maybe a pep talk from Bobby Knight will help. LOL https://youtu.be/Chdg7wEGfYw


After our 10-second Bitcoin price update, we explored several exciting developments and events in the Bitcoin space.

First, a funny meme because it’s true: “Has anyone ever heard of this altcoin called USD? I hear it has no cap and isn’t backed by anything. Is it a scam?” LOL

We started with the groundbreaking news that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) met with multiple applicants for spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) on December 21. There's a strong indication that January 10, 2024, could be a pivotal date for the approval of these ETFs. This development is significant as it potentially opens the floodgates for institutional investments in Bitcoin. Market analysts are predicting a staggering influx of about $30 trillion into the Bitcoin market over the first few years post-approval. Additionally, this move would allow individuals to allocate a portion of their 401k retirement savings to Bitcoin, marking a major milestone in Bitcoin adoption. LINK: https://crypto.news/sec-met-multiple-spot-bitcoin-etf-applicants-on-dec-21/

An article from Decrypt discusses a UK court case involving Craig Wright, who claims to be the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. A judge has ordered Wright to provide proof of his claim, including printed evidence from a recently found USB drive purportedly showing his involvement in Bitcoin's creation. Wright has been involved in several lawsuits and has faced skepticism and legal challenges over his claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto. LINK: https://decrypt.co/210675/satoshi-not-satoshi-craig-wright-uk-case-inches-further-forward

My local Bitcoin Meetup last night was awesome! I’m learning so much and meeting so many cool Bitcoiners. Definitely check YOUR AREA for in-person Bitcoin meetups and attend as much as you can. LINK: https://www.meetup.com/cosbitcoin/

After coming home from the meetup I caught the end of the tunestr.io Live concert with Just Loud performing. The performance AND the sound were great! He ended the two days of livestreaming on tunestr.io on the value for value tour. LINK: https://welcome.tunestr.io/
Also, Ainsley Costello, the other performer, posted on Nostr expressing her gushing gratitude and the astonishing amount of satoshi’s zapped to her during her performances. LINK: https://primal.net/e/note1zc6qkuxeh220l37ueww8tgzmt63gzq2h3az75jf5mw9rpfn7jl3qu20me5

Bitcoin Magazine's "21 Days of Bitcoin" campaign was another highlight. This initiative aims to educate people about Bitcoin through a 21-day program. Participants can earn 2,100 satoshis while learning about Bitcoin. The campaign targets both Bitcoin newcomers and young people interested in the cryptocurrency, offering lessons through daily emails or via a comprehensive post on Bitcoin Magazine's website. LINK: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/learn

Lastly, we discussed the launch of Fountain 1.0, a new podcast listening app available on iOS and Android. What sets Fountain apart is its integration with the Bitcoin Lightning Network, enabling listeners to directly support their favorite podcasters with Bitcoin, bypassing traditional middlemen. This development is a significant step in the integration of Bitcoin into the media and entertainment industries. LINK: https://twitter.com/fountain_app/status/1737899570909097989

Just signed up for Flare.pub to post my daily short videos. 10k sats for 2GB uploads. Happy to support this cool new project! #Flare


After our 10-second price update for Bitcoin, we discussed several groundbreaking developments in the world of Bitcoin adoption and digital innovation, each marking a significant stride in their respective fields.

Our discussion opened with a momentous announcement from Diana Mondino, Argentina's Minister of Foreign Affairs. She declared that contracts in Argentina can now be legally agreed upon using Bitcoin. This landmark decision is a huge leap for Bitcoin adoption globally, indicating a growing acceptance of Bitcoin at the governmental level. Argentina's bold move could potentially pave the way for more countries to follow suit, and it highlights the increasing influence of Bitcoin in the global economy.

We then shifted our focus to the advertising realm, particularly a Bitwise commercial featuring "the most interesting man in the world." This intriguing advertisement raises a crucial question: Will institutions begin to run Super Bowl commercials for their spot Bitcoin ETFs? The involvement of such a high-profile event in the promotion of Bitcoin ETFs would signify a major shift in how financial products are marketed and reflects the growing mainstream interest in Bitcoin.
LINK: https://nostr.com/note1wljq30kyp9l69zv7hx022q526cdtmpnwqwyc67ktzylftz98kylqumgxex

Another exciting topic we explored was the introduction of River Link, a service that significantly simplifies the process of sending Bitcoin. With River Link, users can now send Bitcoin via text, DM, or email, even to individuals who aren't Bitcoin users. This innovation makes Bitcoin more accessible and user-friendly, potentially expanding its user base by simplifying sharing.
LINK: https://river.com/river-link

We also discussed Tunestr.io, a platform that livestreams music, allowing fans to directly support artists by 'zapping' them with satoshis, Bitcoin's smallest unit. This direct-to-artist payment system not only empowers musicians but also fosters a closer connection between artists and their audience, potentially transforming how artists are compensated for their work.
LINK: https://tunestr.io/

Lastly, we talked about Flare.pub, a new platform poised to challenge YouTube's dominance. Built on the Nostr protocol with Bitcoin Lightning network integration built-in, Flare.pub offers an alternative to the traditional video-sharing model. Its innovative approach provides content creators with direct Bitcoin support from their fans, more freedom and control over their work, and it represents a significant advancement in the evolution of digital content distribution.
