🚨 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

The project $FLUX will deploy its own AI solution 🤖 on August 20, operating thanks to the computing power provided by its FluxEdge network ⛏️

Completely FREE, the ChatBot can be used for personal and professional purposes.

Later, it will be possible to have API access so that developers can connect their Dapps to the network and benefit from its strength.

This is the first draft and "showcase" offered by the FluxEdge network (in which you can participate and receive rewards!!!)

Subsequently, AI models to generate images, videos, voice synthesizers, etc. are also planned and will expand the existing offering.

Even though I have no technical skills in this, I am looking forward to testing the system from a user perspective 🙌

Below, an example of the possibilities offered by the current version of the system ⤵️

🚀 Bitcoin and zombie companies: a new financial dynamic

Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs on the American market, a shock wave has spread in the ranks of traditional finance. Bitcoin, once considered an infrequent option, is now recognized as a "legitimate financial instrument". This transformation is largely anticipated by companies such as MicroStrategy, which holds 226,300 BTC (or $15 billion) and represents more than 1% of the total supply limited to 21 million units.

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, positions himself as a Bitcoin guru. He even evokes "economic immortality" thanks to the holding of BTC. Other publicly traded companies, such as Metaplanet and Semler Scientific, are inspired by this aggressive Bitcoin purchase strategy to boost their shares.

Metaplanet, for example, now holds a portfolio of 245 BTC (or $16 .4 million). Since the announcement of this strategy last April, Metaplanet's share price has risen dramatically, increasing by 980%. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, says that Bitcoin is the supreme monetary asset and that the company aims to own as many as possible.

The arrival of Bitcoin cash ETFs opens up new opportunities for zombie companies in search of excess capital. The simple possession of Bitcoin seems to have the power to revive these companies in difficulty. With the prospect of a $52 million BTC by 2050, Bitcoin continues to attract attention and transform the traditional financial landscape.

AN IN-DEPTH REPORT ON THE STATE OF SOLANA.

The Q2 TLDR? Builders kept building. Here’s some highlights you won’t want to miss:

1. The institutions are coming
Stripe demoed their upcoming payments solution on Solana using Phantom, and PayPal issued their PYUSD stablecoin on Solana. PayPal cited token extensions as a key reason for expanding to Solana — one extension, transfer hooks, enables developers to add custom programmable logic to each transfer.

2. PayFi has arrived
Helio's Solana Pay Plugin on Shopify saved Solana Labs over $1 million in fees for Chapter2 sales compared to traditional payment methods. Now, it's even more versatile: Users can pay in their preferred token, near-instantly swapping to the merchant's preferred currency via Jupiter.

3. Solana is coming to you (not the other way around)
Have a Google account? Congrats, you now have a Solana wallet thanks to TipLink’s Wallet Adapter. No downloads, no seed phrases, no fuss.

And if that wasn’t enough, blinks connected Solana to the entire internet, bringing Solana to millions of active X users. Now, you can vote, mint, swap, and donate directly from your feed. Growth is accelerating: Messari reported blinks for over 20 dApps like Helium, Sphere, and Tensor at publication, while Dialect’s registry shows nearly 100 blinks today.

If you’re looking to build with blinks, Solana Foundation is offering $400k in grants, while Dialect and Superteam have $1k microgrants available.

4. The ecosystem is working hard on scaling solutions
ZK compression, pioneered by Light Protocol and Helius Labs, went live on testnet and drops the state cost for 1M addresses by ~99.9% by storing data via the ledger.

MagicBlock unveiled MagicBlock Engine, which enhances SVM customizability and performance without sacrificing composability. It implements ephemeral rollups: temporary runtimes that mirror programs and accounts from mainnet to improve efficiency before settling state back on Solana. The best part? It's all abstracted away from the user.

5. Solana DeFi is happening, led by LST growth
Liquid staking rate jumped from 5.2% to 6.4%, with Sanctum's LST market share exploding 3,700% QoQ.

What if the bull run started sooner than expected and we're now back on track with the original timeline?

Based on previous cycles, Delphi predicted BTC hitting its previous ATH in Q4 2024 after a two-year bear market.

Yet, we passed it in Q1'24 thanks to the BTC ETF!

If that's the case, expect BTC to rally again and hit a new ATH by Q4 2025.

This prediction is based on previous cyclical patterns (more on it in the comments).

Plus, BTC halvings and prices have historically aligned with global liquidity.

However, interest rates in the US are expected to change later this year, while in the EU and Canada, they have already been decreased.

If this all plays out, it's a tough situation for those who missed the initial rally and bought in at local highs.

Selling now, fearing the bull run is over, could lead to more regret if BTC follows its usual cycle and bounces back.

What is magicblock?

It's a taste of what's to come in the Solana gaming scene 🎮

A beginner's guide to the Onchain Game Engine 👇

Onchain game engines make it easier to build games with no external dependencies beyond their underlying blockchain.

To me, this is one of the most exciting areas of development in crypto today, and that’s why my curiosity was piqued when I recently came across MagicBlock Engine.

MagicBlock is a game engine that’s innovated an Ephemeral Rollups architecture for powering flexible and performant onchain games on Solana.

I think MagicBlock is an interesting look into what's to come in the Solana gaming scene, so let’s catch you up on all the basics.

What Is MagicBlock?
MagicBlock is a gaming framework built on top of Solana, designed to facilitate the development of fully onchain games and apps.

Recently, MagicBlock Engine showcased its capabilities at an a16zcrypto Demo Day event.

The demo featured a real-time, fully onchain game deployed entirely on Solana, and two clients played the game simultaneously with no lag thanks to the MagicBlock’s ability to delegate accounts into fast Solana validators.

What Are Ephemeral Rollups?
MagicBlock extends Solana's capabilities by introducing Ephemeral Rollups (ERs), which are designed to efficiently facilitate state transitions without fragmenting a game’s state.

MagicBlock’s Other Main Features

⚡️ BOLT — A framework that uses the Entity Component System (ECS) pattern to streamline the development of onchain games. It allows developers to quickly create modular, reusable, and extendable game components and logic.

🪪 SOAR — SOAR stands for Solana Onchain Achievement & Ranking. This reputation system lets developers readily define achievements based on onchain activities, track and display user rankings, and deploy rewards.

🔑 Session keys — MagicBlock recently helped add support for session keys in the Solana Unity SDK, making it easier for its game devs to eliminate the need for repeated wallet popups during frequent in-game interactions in a secure fashion.

MagicBlock’s angle is to bypass these fragmentation issues by keeping assets on mainnet Solana, thus maintaining the possibility for atomic composability, while still achieving scalability with ERs. This way you get high throughput, customizable runtimes, and the ability for games and apps to seamlessly interact without needing interoperability solutions.

What to Watch Going Forward?
1. MagicBlock is new and still rearing up. Which onchain game will be the first to officially use this engine?

2. The recent MagicBlock demo achieved 50ms latency, which is competitive with modern gaming standards. Can we expect further optimizations that bring this latency even lower for even better real-time gameplay?

3. Earlier this year, Parallel announced its AI game Colony would be based on Solana. Could the Parallel team adopt MagicBlock Engine to meet its infrastructure needs here?

4. With MagicBlock maintaining assets on the Solana mainnet, developers have the potential for atomic composability. What use cases will emerge from this capability?

5. Onchain games benefit greatly from user-generated content (UGC) and user-generated logic (UGL). Will the SOAR system be used to incentivize these sorts of creations?

The Bottom Line
While MagicBlock is still in its early stages, its potential to catalyze Solana’s fully onchain gaming scene seems considerable, as its Ephemeral Rollups architecture can help it bypass key challenges faced by other gaming engines while still ensuring high performance. Looking ahead, be sure to stay updated on the team’s progress by following them on Twitter— they’re ones to watch in my opinion!

⚠️ A fake application of the Phantom wallet promoted on the iOS AppStore drains users' funds.

Even though the fake app has obvious redflags:
➡️ A slightly different logo
➡️ Published by Meta Voxify (not Phantom Technologies)
➡️ only 1 review and 1 star.
➡️ Listed in the "Education" category as opposed to "Utilities", where the original application exists.
➡️ The application has existed in the store for “17 years” and therefore well before the very existence of Solana and even Bitcoin.

It can happen to anyone to miss out and be fooled...

In addition, the fraudulent application is highlighted thanks to advertising and therefore it appears first during searches...

Be very careful and always check several times before downloading applications related to #crypto .

Crypto in 2024: Mid-Year Reflections

4 takeaways 👇

Crypto moves fast – like blink-and-you-missed-it fast.

The first half of this year has been no different, with new chains and applications emerging daily and the crypto industry gaining mainstream acceptance in the financial world.

Amid the Twitter echo chambers and the frenzy of bull market price action, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. So, let's zoom out and focus on the signal amid the noise.

TL;DR Crypto is just getting started; don't get shaken out.

Today, we’ll take a step back to reflect on the key developments of H1 2024, exploring the significant events and trends that highlight the progress we've made this year. 👇

1️⃣ Crypto is now mainstream
Remember the days when crypto was a niche plaything for cypherpunks? Those days are well over.

In the first half of 2024, crypto broke through to the mainstream with a vengeance.

The turning point was the long-awaited approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January. Suddenly, Wall Street had a comfortable on-ramp to crypto, and they took it in a big way. Eleven ETFs launched in one day, and volumes broke records.

And it didn’t stop at Bitcoin. The SEC finally greenlit eight spot ETH ETFs in May, further validating the entire crypto ecosystem, and opening the door for even broader institutional adoption.

2️⃣ Crypto Adoption Accelerating
Crypto adoption is accelerating at a remarkable pace. The number of active users across blockchains is up big time, hitting an all-time high of 42.92 million active addresses in April.

Another factor is the resurgence of DeFi. DeFi activity and mindshare are on the rise again, signaling a renewed interest and activity onchain, one that's moving beyond simple speculation to perhaps some real-world utility, like in the form of stablecoins for payments and asset tokenization for RWAs such as government securities.

The momentum is clear: more people are coming onchain, and they're finding more reasons to stay.

3️⃣ Ethereum Still Dominant, But Solana Rising
Ethereum remains the dominant force in crypto. Over 60% of the total value locked in DeFi sits on Ethereum, a testament to the lindy ecosystem, which acts as a foundation for countless applications and chains.

This dominance is not just a matter of capital but also technological progress on the roadmap. Ethereum is scaling through L2s like Base who have seen robust adoption this year, and thanks to the most recent Dencun upgrade, offer users significantly lowered gas fees.

Moreover, Solana’s innovation engine is running hot. Tech advancements like zk-compression and user-friendly features like Blinks are setting the stage for broader adoption, and we can see that Solana’s network effects are taking root in real time.

Make no mistake: Ethereum isn't going anywhere. Its established network effects and vast developer community ensure its continued importance in crypto. But Solana's impressive strides can't be ignored. Both ecosystems are thriving, each in its unique way. This parallel adoption is a win for crypto users, as it accelerates innovations and drives the entire industry forward.

4️⃣ More Chop Ahead, Then Up-Only
Bitcoin broke its all-time high in March, briefly breaching the $70 ,000 mark. While that party seemed to end pretty abruptly, let's not get carried away. This bull market is far from over.

The long-awaited ETH ETFs are nearly here, interest rate cuts are likely on the way, and crypto will likely continue to earn a place on the national stage during the U.S. elections with potential positive policy shifts in play.

💭 Closing Thoughts
So, has the first half of 2024 been all smooth sailing for crypto? Not quite.

The bull market must go

💬 Bitcoin will skyrocket thanks to the collapse of Japanese banks

This is what Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, thinks.

He says the Japanese banking system is in deep trouble and the consequences will only drive up the bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets.

“You all know what this means for bitcoin and cryptocurrency… which is why I thought it was necessary to alert readers to another avenue of stealth money printing.”

This month, Japan's fifth-largest bank, Norinchukin, confirmed plans to sell $63 billion in U.S. and European bonds by March 2025.

According to Hayes, this is just the tip of the iceberg, as Japanese banks hold a total of "$850 billion in foreign bonds until 2022", including "nearly $450 billion in 'American bonds'.

Holdium is planning to airdrop 5% of its total supply to customers who pre-order Solana Mobile's "Chapter 2" smartphones. This follows the trend of leveraging airdrops to add value to pre-orders, a tactic successfully employed with Solana Mobile's first smartphone, the Saga, which saw a significant boost in sales thanks to bundled airdrops of meme coins like $BONK and $MEW .

The "Chapter 2" smartphone, expected to ship in 2025, has already garnered over 100,000 pre-orders. This strong demand is partly due to the anticipation of similar airdrops and the lower price point of $450 compared to the Saga's.

These airdrops not only enhance the perceived value of the phone but also serve as a powerful marketing tool within Web3 community.

The Open Network has been a rare rocket ship during choppy markets 🚀

Here's how you can get started with the chain 👇

It's been hard to miss the rise of $TON over the past few months

Thanks to its integration with Telegram
& persistent price action The Open Network ecosystem continues to gain traction rapidly

These are the most active areas in the ton_blockchain
:

🎮 Telegram-Based P2E Games

Gaming has become a stand-out feature for TON, first with Notcoin and now with other games like CatizenAI and Hamster Kombat.

In summary, gaming on TON, whether through Catizen or Hamster Kombat, offers some (very) simple entertainment and real-world rewards, making it an attractive option for early speculators.

🔒 Liquid-Stake your TON for additional rewards

Like most PoS ecosystems, liquid staking with Tonstakers or Bemo Finance lets you use your TON to earn additional rewards.

- bemo_finance is another non-custodial liquid staking protocol on TON. It allows users to stake TON tokens and receive $stTON tokens in return that can be freely used in DeFi and increase in value as staking rewards are earned.

Both Tonstakers and Bemo Finance offer excellent opportunities for users to earn rewards through staking, making them valuable tools for maximizing your TON holdings.

🫳 Swap tokens on DEXs

DEXs lie at the center of TON’s DeFi ecosystem to drive the network forward, particularly http://STON.fi and DeDust.

💰 Lend through money markets

Lending platforms on TON offer additional ways to leverage your assets and turn a profit.

- evaaprotocol is a lending platform on the TON network that allows users to lend and borrow assets like TON, stTON, $tsTON , and $USDT directly from Telegram.

With double-digit interest rates for TON and USDT, the platform stands out as a competitive option for participating in DeFi and earning additional yield on your TON — way higher than with staking! The protocol currently has an XP points program, which can be later burned in exchange for the $EVAA token when it launches.

-
daolama_ton offers NFT lending for TON, currently supporting over 35 collections. On the platform, users can choose an NFT they’d like to rent out in exchange for TON, create a proposal, and then, when confirmed, receive TON based on the proposal's guidelines. Additionally, DAOLama’s marketplace offers a Buy Now, Pay Later feature for NFTs, allowing you to purchase NFTs like Anonymous Telegram Numbers 👀 for 41 TON instead of 113 TON.

In conclusion, Evaa Protocol and DAOLama TON offer unique and user-friendly lending solutions, providing even more avenues for earning yield on TON.

🤑 Trade crypto derivatives

For fans of derivatives trading, TON comes ready for platforms for trading crypto assets on up to 50x leverage.

storm_trade_ton is a decentralized derivatives trading platform built on TON and directly integrated with Telegram. Accessible via a web app and Telegram bot, Storm Trade provides trading features like leverage up to x50, instant price updates, and trading pairs with collateral in TON and USDT.

In addition, Storm Trade offers opportunities to earn through tournaments or by providing liquidity. In their daily tournaments, users compete for Storm Trade NFTs, which will whitelist them for the exchange’s token at launch. In their vaults, users can provide liquidity to act as a counterparty to traders on the platform and earn 70% of protocol fees. This can all be done directly from Telegram, making trading available on the go.

Is OP_CAT the missing piece for BTC L2s?

This opcode has everyone talking; what does it do?

A beginner's guide 👇

Bitcoin L2s are the talk of the town, but not much of their promise has been realized yet.

What are Bitcoin's builders waiting for?

One significant proposal could help mature the Bitcoin L2 landscape: the reintroduction of OP_CAT. This opcode, which was disabled early in Bitcoin's history, could unlock new capabilities and pave the way for more sophisticated and trustless Bitcoin L2 solutions.

Let's dig into why this opcode could be so transformative for BTC 👇

What is OP_CAT?
Okay, so why is this seemingly random opcode so controversial? OP_CAT, or "Operation Concatenate" is an opcode in Bitcoin's scripting language that allows for the concatenation of two data elements.

Initially proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto, OP_CAT was disabled in 2010 due to security concerns related to its original implementation, specifically potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks caused by unbounded memory usage.

The introduction of the Taproot upgrade in 2021 has mitigated these original concerns. Taproot enforces a maximum stack element size of 520 bytes, addressing the memory usage issue that led to OP_CAT's deactivation. With this security improvement and resurgent Bitcoin development interest, thanks to Ordinals and Runes, a movement to reintroduce OP_CAT to enhance Bitcoin's scripting capabilities is gaining steam, aiming to put more complex transaction capabilities in reach.

Are Covenants and Smart Contracts Different?
One reason why OP_CAT is so compelling is because it can actualize covenants, i.e. spending conditions, on Bitcoin. Covenants and smart contracts are both mechanisms for controlling the flow of funds in a blockchain network, but they operate in distinct ways.

Covenants:
Purpose: Restrict how funds can be spent in future transactions.
Functionality: Implement specific spending constraints, such as limiting addresses or setting conditions on fund transfers.
Complexity: Generally involves simpler, deterministic logic without loops or complex computations.
Implementation: Can be implemented using Bitcoin Script with enhancements like OP_CAT.

Smart Contracts:
Purpose: Automate a wide range of processes and transactions.
Functionality: Handle complex tasks such as decentralized exchanges, token issuance, and multi-party agreements.
Complexity: Support complex conditional logic, including loops and intricate computations.
Implementation: Commonly implemented on platforms like Ethereum using high-level programming languages.

Why Does OP_CAT Matter for Bitcoin L2s?
OP_CAT would prove crucial for advancing Bitcoin L2 solutions because it enhances the scripting capabilities needed for more complex and trustless Bitcoin infra. First, OP_CAT allows for covenants, enabling the construction of more complex scripts. This is essential for creating advanced transaction conditions and functionalities required for L2 solutions.

Additionally, if OP_CAT is activated, projects like StarkWareLtdare on standby to develop atop it. StarkWare has plans to leverage OP_CAT for bringing zero-knowledge (ZK) scaling to #Bitcoin to enable advanced financial instruments and apps on the network. StarkWare’s involvement here underscores the broader ecosystem's readiness to capitalize on the enhanced capabilities that OP_CAT would introduce.

As such, as the community continues to explore and test the possibilities around this proposal, the future of Bitcoin L2s looks promising and ripe with potential. At this point, reactivating OP_CAT seems like a matter of when not if!

The bane since last Wednesday during the last FOMC!

And yes, the FED has really hampered our plans.

For the moment cryptos are under great bearish pressure from the FOMC. But the S&P500 and NASDAQ are holding up. But be careful because if they start to correct it, we'll pay twice as much.

Afterwards, we can decorrelate this summer thanks to the ETH SPOT ETF but not sure...

So yes I am Bullish in the medium and long term as explained in previous tweets but in the short term I don't like it at all.

So do you think you'll see a Bull or Bear summer?
