AI spam is starting to pollute the internet. As people are incentivized to generate as many contents as possible using AI for more views and likes, the problem will only get worse. V4V model enabled by #Bitcoin can help mitigate this problem.

Sure, indeed, bear markets do eventually come to a close, but the timing is always uncertain. Avoid trying to time the market or forecast the future based on past data. Instead, just keep accumulating sats and hold on for the ride.

#Coinone, Korea's third-largest crypto exchange by volume, recently revealed that their PoS #staking product 'Plus' is exclusively accessible to Korean citizens who have completed the full #KYC process. This is due to PoS chain validators stepping up their KYC/AML policies to ensure full #OFAC compliance.
#PoS doesn't seem to address any issues. Instead, it just perpetuates the same old nonsense found in the traditional financial system.

#Bitcoin price drops as Americans grow cautious about future inflation. #ConsumerSentiment shows short-term inflation expectations ⬆️ to 4.6% in April, up from 3.6% in March. Despite #CPI indicating lower inflation, public pessimism about the economy rises. We might face a recession (low growth, mid-high inflation, 4-5% interest rates) longer than anticipated.😟

Subscriptions lead to relentless spending, as they eliminate the need to consider whether each expense is truly necessary. This causes you to lose track of your spending, ultimately resulting in overspending.
Using #Bitcoin for spending promotes an à la carte mindset. Each transaction encourages you to evaluate if the purchase is a wise choice. As the currency appreciates in value, you'll more carefully consider whether a subscription is worth maintaining, instead of mindlessly allowing regular credit card charges. 💸🤔 https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_4bb64875546db0bd06ecc8fd0d3b91019341dc274098b64cac10a86114b68adf.jpeg

In 2021, private equity firms actively used leveraged buyouts (LBOs) to invest in large F&B corporations. Now, due to rising interest rates, these acquired companies face financial challenges.
Most loans have floating interest rates, which fluctuate based on the rates set by the Federal Reserve. As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation, private equity firms worry about the declining value of their investments and pressure management to increase product prices.
This, in turn, makes food and groceries more expensive, worsening inflation instead of easing it. The Fed's monetary decisions often lead to unintended consequences. Is it wise to let a single agency continue making such impactful decisions?🤷‍♂️

Gold price almost hit its all-time high of $2069.40 in Aug 2020, just months into the pandemic. Now, with the collapse of SVB and US-China chip tensions, it's surging again as a safe haven asset (scaled over the key $2000 level earlier this week). #Bitcoin is also rising, up 25% in the past month, solidifying its status as 'digital gold'🥇
