🇨🇦 Canadian Bitcoin miner Cathedra Bitcoin completely changes strategy after seven years of mining BTC.

The company is stopping BTC mining to follow MicroStrategy's strategy: acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible on the open market.

Mining has not delivered enough value to shareholders over the past three years, executives say.

“Meanwhile, other listed companies have adopted an explicit policy of increasing bitcoin per share, including MicroStrategy, and have been rewarded by the stock markets.”

Bitcoin Treasuries data shows that the company currently holds 23 Bitcoin, worth $2 .5 million, making it the 45th largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

Crypto markets have suffered noticeable pullbacks following September 10’s highly anticipated presidential debate.

In the wake of self-proclaimed ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump’s performance, scales have tipped in favor of Kamala Harris, with prediction markets illustrating renewed support for the Democrats.

Crypto Markets Tumble as Republican Confidence Wanes
The presidential debate had a resounding effect on the digital asset market. Following the event, $SOL price has dropped 5.1%, sliding from September 10’s high of $137 .9 to currently trade hands at $130 .84.

Beyond asset prices, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index also dropped from a neutral 46.72 to a fearful ranking of 31.6.

The crypto market’s slide is expected to be due to the wider industry’s assumption that a Trump presidency will be favorable for the blockchain industry.

Commentators argue that Trump’s pro-crypto stance will greatly benefit the sector, with many analysts proposing that the approval of a spot SOL ETF hinges on a Republican victory. Meanwhile, some Solana community members expressed that regardless of who emerges triumphant in November, it will make little difference.

Over the past four years, the Biden administration has loomed large over the crypto industry. Gary Gensler and the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchanges Commission) have been widely criticized by the crypto community for their regulation-by-enforcement approach, which has seen the agency hand out a litany of lawsuits to crypto businesses throughout its time in office.

Volume Spikes on Drift Protocol’s Prediction Market
While Trump and Harris clashed heads on camera, traders took their chance to hit the prediction markets. Drift Protocol’s BET platform, a marketplace enabling users to trade the outcomes of real-world events, enjoyed an impressive surge of trading volume during the debate.

According to Dune Analytics, Drift Protocol’s BET protocol witnessed over $851k in daily trading volume. While falling short of market leader PolyMarket’s $14M daily volume, BET’s dramatic volume spike represented a 1,287% increase over the previous day’s trading.

According to BET’s dedicated market, Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election dropped from 54.2% to 49.5% since the debate began.

$TREMP Down, $KAMA Up
Finally, the landmark debate sent waves of volatility through Solana’s PolitiFi memecoin economy.

Unfortunately for $TREMP holders, crypto markets rejected the Presidential hopeful’s debate performance. $TREMP price crumbled under increased selling pressure, plunging 28% from.19 to currently exchange hands at.135, based on Step Finance data.

Meanwhile, the Kamala Harris-inspired $KAMA saw renewed support. $KAMA surged over 34%, rising from 0.007 to currently trade at.0094. Despite $KAMA’s superior performance, the memecoin still has a smaller market cap ($8.3M) than its PolitiFi rival $TREMP ($14.2M).

The debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was heated to say the least...

The summary 👇

What initially got the most attention was that Kamala Harris appeared to have worn "earpiece" earrings so that people could whisper "punchlines" to her.

Tensions over Ukraine:
Harris accuses Trump of literally wanting to abandon Ukraine, acknowledges that Russia has not threatened to use nuclear weapons but advocates a rapid end to the conflict.

Disagreements over foreign policy:
Trump fears global escalation, Harris defends international engagement

Lively exchanges on the economy:
Harris criticizes the tariffs that Trump wants to impose (especially on Chinese products), calling them a "sales tax" on the middle class, and blames it for current inflation.

Heated debate on immigration:
Trump alarmist accuses Biden-Harris administration of letting in "dangerous" immigrants while Kamala Harris accuses him of dividing the nation.

Abortion Clash:
Harris defends abortion rights, Trump calls for return of decision to states.

Post debate:
Taylor Swift, "America's Sweetheart," has announced her support for Kamala Harris. The potential impact on "young people" is massive

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

This is crazy:

Interest expenses on the US federal debt have surpassed a RECORD of $3 billion PER DAY.

TRIPLING the amount paid 10 years ago and DOUBLING the amount paid just 2.5 years ago 😅💸

The bubble just keeps getting bigger, and the worst thing is that they are not doing anything to try to stop it...

Thanks Satoshi for getting us out of this... #Bitcoin

📆 13 years ago, on September 7, 2011, 2008 Nobel Prize winner in economics Paul Krugman accused Bitcoin of being a “dumb money.”

10 years later, on September 7, 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

Sorry 🤭

The crypto market jumps as the US unemployment rate hits 4.2% as expected compared to 4.3% previously easing recession fears. Investors are bracing for September rate cuts, and optimism grows over the market’s near-term outlook.

The employment report 🇺🇸 is not bad

Just like ISM Services yesterday

They seem pretty consistent (so far) with the soft landing scenario

However, the probabilities of a 50 bps rate cut at once at the next meeting have climbed considerably in the minutes following the publication of the figures, which could reflect certain market fears about the US economic trajectory

#bullish

📆 On September 6, 2021, El Salvador announced the acquisition of its first 200 bitcoins!

3 years to the day, the country holds nearly 5,900 and continues to buy 1 BTC daily 🇸🇻

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO DePIN GROWTH??
In a recent appearance at ETHToronto, Frank Mathis highlights the next steps for DePIN’s future.

GenesysGo founder Frank Mathis is no stranger to the highs and lows of crypto’s thriving DePIN sector.

Drawing on his years of experience, Mathis joined other DePIN thought leaders at ETHToronto, including Helium COO Scott Sigel, to discuss the future of the sector.

“If DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable”
Like many passionate crypto community members, DePIN advocates staunchly argue that DePIN is inevitable. Speaking to hundreds of crypto enthusiasts at ETHToronto, Mathis offered a refreshing point of view.

The GenesysGo founder argues that value creation for contributors is one of the most integral aspects of running successful DePIN networks. Mathis highlighted that, while DePIN promises to reward contributors as decentralized software scales, “it’s shocking how much of that is running on AWS and Google Cloud.”

For example, over 50% of Ethereum node operators are hosted on AWS, Hetzner, and OVH servers.

Reiterating the importance of wealth creation for contributors, Mathis contends “what DePIN really is, is an attempt to take one of the most centralized layers of the stack and decentralize that amongst the people such that they start to participate in the growth and success of these models.”

GenesysGo’s ShdwDrive is one such example. The decentralized storage solution empowers users to earn $SHDW tokens by providing unused mobile storage to a distributed network, directly generating income from a device that lives in their pocket.

Reflecting the ideal DePIN model proposed by Mathis, network contributors benefit from the growth and success of the platform. The GenesysGo founder reinforced this notion, opining “DePIN is only as inevitable as the value that participants in the network get from it… if DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable.”

POOR PERFORMANCE “ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILINGS OF DePIN”
On paper, the benefits of DePINs are obvious. However, in practice, these platforms often sacrifice performance and scalability in favor of decentralization. While this aids in value creation for contributors and increases security, it actually hamstrings performance and growth.

DePIN is often considered the natural evolution of the sharing economy, which delivered iconic businesses like Uber and Airbnb.

Drawing parallels between the pearls of the sharing economy and emerging DePIN projects, Mathis illustrated that “Uber became highly successful, not just because you’re able to share in pieces of things you don’t use everyday.. but because it worked well, it was fast, it was easy to use.”

Mathis argues that for DePIN projects to truly take off, they need to rival the performance standards set by centralized industry leaders. Referencing his experience with GenesysGo, the founder posits “in our case, our first principle [is] decentralized storage needs to be as fast, as secure, as stable, and perform every bit as well as a traditional Web2 cloud service.”

ABSTRACTION IS KEY
The Web3 user experience has long been considered one of the industry’s biggest obstacles to adoption. The complexities of wallet management and security have discouraged newcomers to space for over a decade, and continue to repel potential users today.

Mathis insists that abstracting the end-user experience away from blockchain technology is key to the success of the industry. Reinforcing this belief, the founder affirms “Your end user shouldn’t know that they’re interacting with Web3”

Looking towards the future, Mathis considers DePIN regulation will present a significant obstacle to the sector’s growth. However, instead of taking a chagrined approach to future regulatory concerns, the GenesysGo founder suggests that DePIN projects need to take on some responsibility.

📵 The Solana Saga 2 smartphone may never see the light of day.

OSOM, the company responsible for designing the Saga 2 smartphone #Solana , appears to be in serious financial difficulty 💸

Today, many people do not invest in #Bitcoin because they believe it is supposedly too expensive.

👉 It's a bit like in 2017, when some people were saying: "The #btc is too expensive" when it was at $5 ,000.

But today, with $5 ,000, you only get 0.09 #btc . That is 11 times less than 7 years ago.

👉 Certainly, 1 #btc is now inaccessible for many. However, imagine in 2040, when 0.09 #btc will also be inaccessible.

🔷 In 2040, these same people will say: "If only I had bought 0.09 $BTC in 2024."

🔶 While in 2024, they were saying: "BTC is not worth it, it is already too expensive."

👉 Obviously, you are not going to make a x10 in a year, unlike some #altcoins . However, #Bitcoin is made to be kept.

This is why I tweeted a few days ago, saying that not having a single dollar of #btc in your wallet is a big mistake.

Some people did not understand this post, saying:

“It’s too expensive, we won’t make big multiples unlike altcoins, etc.”

However, at no point did I say that you had to be 100% on #Bitcoin , but simply have a little in your wallet.

Thank me in 15 years. 🚀

📅 13 years ago someone sold 30,000 #Bitcoin for.03 per BTC which was around $900 at the time.

Today, these 30,000 #btc would be worth more than 1.7 billion dollars...

BTC, Bitcoin's local setup is still holding, holding the local support zone. But still, now the main movement is following a medium-term setup, a medium-term pattern. Now the price is just below the middle of this pattern and below 60,000, there has been no consolidation below. The bulls have literally several days to return the level of 60,000 and go above the local resistance zone. Also, the local key zone is 62,000, where there is an open level. Let me remind you that many major players and traders are waiting for September 11th. US inflation data, which can be used to predict a future rate cut on September 18. Two key days in September! There is minimal time left. A market reversal is more than likely to occur during these dates. But don't expect that one candle will reach the highs in one hour! The altseason is 21 years old, the main part of altcoins went to the historical max. 8 months. And a number of other altcoins were moving towards a historical maximum of +-16 months (for example, LUNA). On this squiz, the whales actively bought Bitcoins and took them off the exchanges while the paper snot whined and sold their bitcoins.

the withdrawal from the exchanges exceeds the input - 40%, 17,000 btc

Altcoins, the month of September will be key, an additional set of altcoins will be closer to September 11th. It is on the dogosrok-the average day. The turnaround will be fast and many will bite their elbows. But there is still time and perhaps one of the last chances. Let me remind you that we are at the beginning of a new cycle!

BIG SUPPLY, BIG PROBLEMS AS SOLANA’S NFT MARKET REJECTS LARGE COLLECTIONS

Fresh minting mechanics are bringing greater security to Solana NFTs, but new mints and large collections struggle to garner attention and are trading below mint price.

New NFT collections have learned a painful lesson this week. If it wasn’t obvious due to stagnant floor prices and diminishing trade volume, launching a fresh collection in these conditions is a difficult task.

Despite commentators claiming these hyped collections will usher in a “new era” and whitelist spots selling at over $50 apiece on open markets, launches from Pathfinders and Hermans have failed to meet expectations.

Will Solana’s NFT market ever witness another successful 10,000 NFT collection? Or are small supplies the only way of conserving value?

ONLY 21% OF PATHFINDER'S RISK-FREE NFTs MINTED

Despite proposing a new, risk-free method of launching Solana NFTs, the Pathfinders collection faces difficulty minting out. At press time, only 2,125/10,000 NFTs have been minted, falling well short of expectations.

Pathfinder’s novel LST-backed NFT collection launched with noble intentions. Providing an alternative mechanic that aims to protect minters, the collection has launched Solana’s first un-ruggable NFTs.

Unlike standard NFT mints, Pathfinders NFTs are minted using pathSOL, the project’s native liquid staking token. Holders reserve the right to redeem their NFT for the underlying pathSOL used to mint the asset, essentially securing the NFT’s value at a minimum of 2pathSOL.

Regardless, Solana’s NFT community has largely ignored the project’s novel approach to minting. Supporters of the new mechanic took to social media to express their disappointment with the NFT community’s apparent apathy. 

Commentators noted that network participants have collectively poured thousands of SOL into extractive and malicious actors, but are unwilling to support builders providing meaningful alternatives.

‘Hyped’ New Mint Immediately Under Floor - Are Presales to Blame?

Boasting a sold-out presale that constituted 55% of the total supply, the Hermans NFT collection suffered a similar fate. Priced at 1.5 SOL per NFT, Hermans struggled to attract interest during the public mint, forcing the team to take drastic action.

Hermans trading on secondary marketplaces like Tensor and Magic Eden was locked until the mint was complete, meaning holders were unable to list their assets. The team took it upon themselves to buy all unminted assets. The Hermans’ treasury now holds over 1,600 NFTs, roughly 33% of the supply.

Almost immediately, the collection began trading beneath mint price as presales and regretful minters clamored to liquidate their holdings for SOL. Hermans currently exchange hands at 0.84 SOL, down 44% from the original mint price.

While poor NFT market conditions are a significant contributor to the recent slew of disappointing NFT launches, social media commentators have argued that NFT presales are also to blame.

Low Supply NFT Collections Retain Value

In recent years, NFT markets have witnessed countless large supply collections suffer devastating downtrends. 

Top Solana collections like Mad Lads, Tensorians (pictured), and Claynosaurs have all endured significant drawdowns, while dozens of less-resilient projects have effectively plummeted to zero.

Comparatively, low supply and 1/1 NFT collections have retained their value remarkably well. Limited supply art collections like Boogles, Dead King Society, and The SixNine are typically only available through OTC deals and have maintained comparatively stable floors, regardless of SOL price fluctuations.

Arguably, this suggests that the most valuable utility NFTs offer is access to exclusive communities. Alternatively, it could also indicate that low-supply collections with low market liquidity create an elite sense of perceived value, which has supported the valuations of these co

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad", speaks out once again on X about #Bitcoin

https://x.com/therealkiyos...

BTC, over the weekend, Bitcoin practically stood still on small volumes. There was an attempt to storm 60,000, but it failed to break through and gain a foothold higher. For many, it is already good that the price of Bitcoin has not gone into correction, as it was last weekend. The local support zone has been retained so far. But still, Bitcoin is now moving inside the pattern, this is its main movement. As I wrote in previous posts, the main growth should be expected only after the breakdown of the key resistance zone of 70,000-73,000. This week may bring enough manipulation of the whales and the Market Maker, which I use to enter some positions. Let me remind you that this week on Friday there will be a speech by Jerome Powell. Which is able to expand the market. Based on data including inflation received last week.

withdrawal from exchanges exceeds input - correlation
Minimum volumes!

Altcoins, I will use the possible volatility this week to enter some positions that I still want to purchase. Coins with good growth potentials! Let me also remind you that many coins are either at the lower boundary of a wide flat, which has already been happening for two and a half years of crypto winter.
