Remember NFTs? One of their main use cases rn is in approval phishing scams. A fake NFT pops up in a target's wallet with some kind of call to action (fear or greed based). This leads them towards signing a malicious contract. Click approve and their 'crypto' goes bye bye. https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/approval-phishing-cryptocurrency-scams-2023/

Property valuations in freefall Last November I shared a post referencing a 2-bed flat on the market in central London. The asking price was £1.4m, spotted today it's been revised down to £1.25m (-11%) In Bitcoin terms, the asking price was 47.1 BTC, today 27.8 BTC (-41%)

How did we end up with committees attempting to centrally plan the price of capital? Future generations will look back in disbelief.

Touching grass in the South Downs this weekend. Some beautiful spots in blighty when the sun comes out.

Spotted a clip from the documentary "Four Horsemen" on the timeline today. I remember watching it as an undergrad student almost 10 years ago, very formative looking back. "Human beings go mad in crowds and come to their senses slowly and individually. History is littered with examples of people who threw off the yoke of oppression to adopt radical change, only to end up with popular new rules that maintain the status quo. To really understand something is to be liberated from it. Dedicating oneself to a great cause, taking responsibility, and gaining self-knowledge is the essence of being human. A predatory capitalist's truest enemy, and humanity's greatest ally, is the self-educated individual who has read, understood, delays their gratification, and walks around with their eyes wide open." The full doc is still available on YouTube and well worth a watch .

Just saw a rare BTCGBP order flash up on bisq, ask ~2% below spot price. Too slow to hit it 😅 more people in the market these days...

How long has the tokenisation narrative got left? Whether it's with real estate, gold or stablecoins, tokenisation is a buzz word for securitisation (but a less efficient version...) Great 10 minute summary 🔥 View quoted note →

One for the 'blockchain technology' enthusiasts... Architect Cedric Price's famous provocation from 1966: "Technology is the answer, but what was the question?"

House prices still crashing against #bitcoin 2024 house price index in BTC is going to be wild. https://x.com/btchpiuk/status/1757767271412371878

The #bitcoin network is hovering at around a $1 trillion valuation. Lesser appreciated, it's also settled $1+ trillion per month on-chain over the last three months.

The UK has the world's oldest fiat currency, London has long historical roots as a financial hub. With #bitcoin and the future of money, discourse in the UK mainstream is painfully far behind. Maybe the value of Bitcoin surpassing GBP's monetary base will help move things along?

November 2021 - the last time 1 BTC changed hands for £50k. The Bank of England base rate was 0.1%. (absurd) BTCGBP is now back at £50k, the base rate is at 5.25% (5150% higher). Fiat currencies are like measuring tapes that change length each time you use them.
