Bitcoin was introduced in 2008 by an enigmatic figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity remains one of the biggest mysteries in the tech world. Nakamoto published a whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," outlining a decentralized currency system that operates without a central authority. This groundbreaking idea aimed to offer a new form of money that could be transferred instantly and securely across the globe. The story begins with the mining of the first Bitcoin block, the Genesis Block, in January 2009. Nakamoto himself mined this block, embedding a cryptic message about the financial crisis, hinting at Bitcoin's purpose as a response to traditional banking failures. Over the next year, Bitcoin remained an obscure experiment, used primarily by a small group of cryptography enthusiasts. In 2010, Bitcoin began to gain wider attention when it was first used in a real-world transaction. A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz famously paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas, an event now celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day. This transaction highlighted Bitcoin's potential as a medium of exchange and sparked broader interest. As Bitcoin's popularity grew, so did the community around it. Developers continued to refine the software, enhancing its security and functionality. In 2011, Nakamoto vanished from the public eye, leaving behind a legacy that would be carried forward by others. This period saw the emergence of Bitcoin exchanges, enabling users to trade bitcoins for traditional currencies. The following years were marked by rapid growth and significant milestones. Bitcoin's price began to climb, attracting both investors and scrutiny from regulators. The infamous Mt. Gox exchange hack in 2014, where millions of dollars' worth of bitcoins were stolen, underscored the need for better security measures in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market. Despite challenges, Institutional interest grew, with major companies and financial institutions recognizing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. By the end of the 2010s, Bitcoin had cemented its status as "digital gold," a store of value comparable to precious metals. Today, Bitcoin remains at the forefront of the cryptocurrency revolution. Its decentralized nature, limited supply, and robust security make it a unique financial instrument in an increasingly digital world. As Bitcoin evolves, it continues to inspire discussions about the future of money, technology, and trust in an ever-changing global economy.

Giovanni Santostasi is an Italian Physicist and Chief Scientific Officer at Deepwave Technologies. I discovered his Reddit post “15 years of BTC Power Law” a few months ago, which was a follow-up to a post called “Bitcoin power law, over 10 years, all the way to Genesis Block.”, which he posted 5 years ago. I was instantly triggered because I had read about power laws before, and his username ‘Econophysicist1' was even more intriguing. In the past months, his model blew up and got more attention on Bitcoin Twitter, so I thought it was time to dive into this super interesting, entertaining, and challenging subject. → Follow Giovanni on https://x.com/Giovann35084111 → Giovanni's Reddit post: reddit.com/r/bitcoin/comments/18z04kp/15_years_of_btc_power_law → Learn more: Why do Power Laws work so widely? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYQT9_ymsVY

New 'Sode of GlitterLedger with Steven Eisman Alexis: Is there anything that you find appealing?Steven: About crypto?Alexis: YeahSteven: Nothing Alexis ZeroSteven: ZeroAlexis: Even the art?Steven: Nothing :D Fresh off of Eth Aspy and still High off of the altitude, and my own grandiose delusions, I have time to reflect on the groundbreaking takeaways of said conference. I have none. Well except to sell my SOL gains for Loubs and mix Lithium and Glitter in a blender From Duane Reade. My conference was spent on a quest for the next billionaire knee deep in an algorithmic pegged to the yen Ponzi scheme based in a tax haven country with decent restaurants. I am the most shameless fame seeker of my generation and would eat glass for the chance be instagrammed with a Household name, whether you created Optimism or Waitressed on Vanderpump Rules, or shorted sub prime mortgages; As long as you can fund the lifestyle to which I am accustomed I will love you endlessly. Which brings me to my guest Steven Eisman, an unsung Hero of our time, best known for Steve Carell's portrayal of him in The Big Short. The creation of Bitcoin is owed to the genius of Steven Eisman. Had he not predicted the mortgage collapse spurring the Financial crisis, nothing would have incentivized Craig Wright to write a White paper. Steven and I first met on the set of the Big Short many years ago when I auditioned to play the role that ultimately went to Ryan Gosling. But I stayed on to help with Craft Services and organized the first cast after party at a college bar in New Orleans. Steven has had a fascinating existence and has had a tremendously successful career. His claim to fame beyond his full head of hair is for shorting collateralized debt obligations, and I'm working on a rap song to further educate. Cardi B you know where I'm at Steven drops some advice on my crypto burgeoning hedgefund called Veni Vidi Vici Off Chain and I'm raising at a 10 billion dollar valuation FDV TVL LTP Safe 1:1 with a soft soft bank commitment. It's a long, short very biased Staked Liquid ETH Strategy light on Stacks and Dogwif hats,) And then he provides great (not) financial career advice, behind the scenes E True Hollywood takes on the film, and industries outside of digital assets that one could pay attention to if one can drag oneself away from DeFi meme pools. Steven's pedigree is a Jewish Girl's Hinge dream what with his Harvard degree coupled with his employment as MD PM for Neuberger Berman's Private Asset Management Divisj. Beyond blockchain's goal of creating an underpinning of a new financial infrastructure, it is that girls in crypto end up a with a man like this. There is an ordinal written in the Genesis Block after the Brink of Collapse that spells this out. Steven's other wisdom besides “ Incentives trump ethics every time, ” is that he does not own any crypto but he has also been wrong. He has also been very right. #GlitterLedger

#Bitcoin Wissen für Nerds! Im heutigen Video sprechen Richy und Bitcoin Experte Roman Reher aka der Blocktrainer über Themen, die vielleicht nicht in aller Munde sind. So zum Beispiel den Genesis Block, warum dieser verbuggt ist, und wie das Ganze ablief. Fakt 2 behandelt das Thema Halving und warum es nicht exakt alle 10 Minuten einen neuen Bitcoin Block gibt. Weiter geht es mit dem großen Thema Mining und dessen Komplexität. Wird Mining wirklich so viel komplizierter? Und was hat Mining mit Würfelspielen zu tun? Der Blocktrainer erklärt das Thema Hash und Mining so einfach, dass es wirklich jeder verstehen kann. Zuletzt reden die zwei über die Anzahl der Bitcoins. Gibt es wirklich 21 Millionen? Definitiv nein. Aber wie viele Bitcoins sind denn eigentlich “verloren”?

Pleb Miner Redux – What is a Bitcoin Miner. The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom. To kick things off @JonPDiGiacomo explains - what is a pleb miner…… “Who and What is a Pleb Miner” The original Bitcoin miner, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Genesis Block with a reward of 50 Bitcoin, Bitcoin that can't be spent as the Genesis Block is hardcoded into new nodes as the root of the blockchain. The signature of his mining was later analyzed by Sergio Lerner. He dubbed Satoshi's miner as Patoshi and its signature as the “Patoshi Pattern”. The technique that Lerner used determined that Patoshi hashed a different set range of nonces. This behavior created a unique saw pattern in nonce data analysis. It's estimated that he had up to 48 CPUs mining with another controlling the operation and/or on standby to protect against a 51% attack. Satoshi mined solo until he invited Hal Finney and Martti Malmi to join the network. Famously on January 10, 2009, at 10:33 PM, Hal Finney was “Runnin' Bitcoin”. Soon others joined in. It's fascinating to look back at those first blocks: difficulty of 1, block reward 50 BTC, the delicate balance of the 10-minute mark not quite there yet. In reviewing this short Bitcoin history lesson, we bring light to the fact that Satoshi wasn't running a giant mining operation with a cool name, a board with multiple investors, and billions in capital expenditures. He was possibly a guy in his basement or garage that he considered his lab. He shared the code with associates he knew online. Their goal was to discover blocks and secure the network. He mined because he was passionate about the innovation that he built. He was the original miner, he was a Pleb Miner. Sometime in May of 2010, Satoshi turned off the Patoshi miner, confident that he had passed the torch on to the next generation of miners…….. Link to full article bellow.

What is a Genesis Block? Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english. Today, we explain in simple terms what a Genesis Block is. A Genesis block is the first block to exist in a blockchain. But let's take a step back and revisit the concept of blocks to fully understand what that actually means. Think of a blockchain as nothing more than a long history of financial transactions, saved indestructibly on many computers at the same time. If you know the history of who sent whom how much, you can easily determine what is in each person's wallet. It's like a family tree: History is represented by generations – parents have kids, and kids have grandkids. If you know that Peter is Christian's son, and Audrey is Christian's daughter, you can determine that Christian has two kids. But back to transactions now! Blocks are groups of those transaction records, and they simply exist to make it easier for computers to process many of them at the same time. A Genesis block gets its name from the biblical story of God creating the world out of nothing. That's kind of what is happening with crypto too: Someone just decides to start somewhere - for example 50 Bitcoins. It's an arbitrary starting point, and the amount is set by the inventor of that blockchain. Everything after then is up to the users of the blockchain. There you have it. All history has to start somewhere, including that of blockchains. And sometimes, there are some interesting nuggets to be found: Bitcoins Genesis block for example contained the headline of an article about banks being bailed out in the financial crisis of 2008. This led many to speculate it was invented as a currency that can't be controlled by governments. Disclaimer: This podcast references our opinion and is for information purposes only.

In this episode, I chat with Jason Civalleri, Esq., about some thorny legal issues and trends affecting crypto, decentralized finance, DAOs and DAO governance and "NFTs as securities". Jason also dives into the hot off the presses SEC settlement agreement with BlockFi about its lending product deemed to be a security. Jason explains why the decision may actually provide a light at the end of the confusing tunnel of when lending products require registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Jason is an attorney with the boutique law firm Horizons Law, with a deep knowledge and appreciation for crypto. He has helped to advise many notable projects including Dapper, Solana, Synthetix, Orca, Genesis Block, Grayscale, and Coinlist. During his tenure there, fully decentralized business entities, represented anonymous hackers and those that stop them, merged billion-dollar DAOs, advised on emerging DeFi derivatives and products, pioneered new open-source licensing, and even pioneered methods for clients to offer high-yield centralized lending products without authoritative backlash.SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY With Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the way, the cryptocurrency market is booming.

Legend Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin, joins hosts Steven McClurg and C.J. Wilson on the podcast this week to talk about Bitcoin and Litecoin. Lee shares his story about starting out in the crypto space by buying bitcoin at an ATH of $30 before it dipped to $2. Even after this dip, he bought more, explaining that the community didn't lose faith. He tells the hosts that back in the day, he used to buy bitcoin by meeting up with a stranger at a Starbucks or McDonalds with cash. However, he would wait there for the transaction to confirm which was around 10 minutes, but sometimes it would take up to an hour. He also shares that he's done cash-bitcoin transactions in bank lobbies and at the steps of police stations, where it felt like a drug transaction. “For certain people who aren't very technical, being on an exchange is safer,” Lee advises, “For people who are more technical, I would recommend they handle it themselves. For those who can't do it themselves, I recommend an ETF rather than buying coins and leaving it on an exchange.” Back in the day, Coinbase was making it easy for people to get into Bitcoin, which is why Lee joined them as an engineer and was one of the first five team members. Now, the exchange has grown to around 5,000 team members. In his time at Litecoin, Lee observed that, “90% of new users get in at the All-Time-Highs, and that's always been the case.” The hosts ask Charlie Lee about Litecoin, which he founded. McClurg compares Bitcoin to gold, and Litecoin to silver. Lee talks about how Bitcoin is almost perfect, except for the fungibility, so that is one thing he is focused on in terms of Litecoin's evolution. Lee shares how he always thought the 10 minute restriction to mine one block on the bitcoin blockchain was too conservative, and he wanted to create something faster. Litecoin is fast and cheap. Wilson states, “Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general has been best oriented towards private transactions, even though they're peer to peer. Balancing that one-on-one, as opposed to the anonymity or pseudonymity is one of the coolest things that's happened.” He goes on to share how transacting in bitcoin at his car dealership works, and how it's the next development in the space. McClurg expresses how when people look at an 8% drop of Bitcoin and mention the volatility, he points out how fast the prices of cars, groceries, etc. are going up right now due to inflation or supply chain issues. “If that's not volatility, I don't know what is,” he says. “Right now Bitcoin is volatile, but in the long term, it will be less and less volatile,” Lee states, “Before we know it, the dollar will become a lot more volatile than Bitcoin.” The three close out the episode with continued conversations about the future of Litecoin, l “I put in extra effort to make it fair, where everyone had an equal chance to mine blocks. I, just like everyone else, had to mine the blocks.” Lee shares that pretty much all the code for Litecoin is forked from Bitcoin. The only thing Bitcoin didn't have was the code to create the Genesis Block, which Lee had to create himself for Litecoin. Just like what Satoshi did put a quote from a recent newspaper from the time of genesis, Lee did something similar in the Litecoin Genesis Block. Listen to the episode to find out more!

Resources: https://neo.org/ Background: Neo (formerly Antshares) is an open-source decentralized blockchain decentralized application platform founded in 2014 by Da HongFei and Erik Zhang. Since its rebranding to Neo from Antshares in 2017, the project's vision is to realize a "smart economy" by utilizing blockchain technology and smart contracts to issue and manage digitized assets. The Neo network runs on a proof of stake decentralized Byzantine fault tolerant (dBFT) consensus mechanism between a number of centrally approved nodes, and can support up to 10,000 transactions per second. The base asset of the Neo blockchain is the non-divisible Neo token which generates GAS tokens. These GAS tokens, a separate asset on the network, can be used to pay for transaction fees, and are divisible with smallest unit 0.00000001. The inflation rate of GAS is controlled with a decaying half life algorithm that will release 100 million GAS over approximately 22 years. A total of 100 million Neo were created in the Genesis Block.50 million Neo were sold to early investors through an initial coin offering in 2016 that raised US 4.65 million, with the remaining 50 million Neo locked into a smart contract. Each year, a maximum of 15 million Neo tokens are unlocked which are used by the Neo development team to fund long term development goals. The core of the Neo feature set revolves around tools that allow developers to efficiently deploy and scale smart contract applications on the Neo blockchain. X.509 Digital Identities allow developers to tie tokens to real world identities which aids in complying with KYC/AML and other regulatory requirement ------------------------ This is a link to Coinbase, a US based wallet, If you decide to use we both are gifted with Bitcoin. https://www.coinbase.com/join/cooper_beo2

Sometimes people call Bitcoin a religion pejoratively, as a way to sneer at its disciples. Or they call it a cult. Or they just use "religion" to imply that the whole thing is irrational. But I mean it with no judgment one way or another. Just that it's literally a religion. There's plenty of evidence for it.It has a prophet. Satoshi, who not only has never been identified but who has apparently departed the world.Not only is there a prophet, but Satoshi was also apparently in it for the benefit of all mankind. There's no evidence that Satoshi ever sold a single coin.Bitcoin's first block was called The Genesis Block.Bitcoin has a sacred text: The White Paper. A short nine-page document that still gets passed around in printed form like Gideon's Bible.Bitcoin has original saints and apostles. Early figures like Hal Finney, who spoke with Satoshi, are revered in the community for their forward vision and their role in establishing the faith. Finney was the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction.Bitcoin has its own Talmud-like texts. The early Bitcointalk.org message boards are still studied today, where the first users discussed the endeavor, and analyzed today in order to help guide the community.Holidays. Every May 22, Bitcoiners remember a famous transaction, where someone spent 10,000 Bitcoin on two pizzas. Meanwhile, every four years, Bitcoiners celebrate the halving, when the pace of new Bitcoin issuance gets cut in half. There's other holidays too... yesterday as Proof Of Keys day, for example.Dietary customs. Many of the most orthodox Bitcoiners adhere to a diet of strictly eating meat.Schisms. Just like with any religion, there have been breakaway attempts, with disciples branching out onto their own, dividing the community, a la the creation of Bitcoin Cash in 2017.Disputed claims to the crown. Some people have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, engendering huge controversy and anger in the community.Fury at apostasy. While Bitcoiners are resentful of people who aren't part of the faith (Nocoiners) they hold in particular contempt apostates who abandon ship as part of a ragequit.Sayings and incantations. Just check out some Bitcoiners on Twitter, and it's basically a stream of repetitive phrases, meant to hammer home key ideas to the flock.Prophets, apostles, holidays, dietary customs, sacred texts, schisms, sayings, and more. Bitcoin isn't like a religion. This is just what religion is.🌊Best Links of The Week🌊Here is a paper from Emily Strauss of Duke Law School, titled “Is Everything Securities Fraud?”China v. Alibaba, continued - China is digging deeper on Alibaba, and Ant Financial, its payment affiliate (Alipay), floating all sorts of options including a breakup of some kind. As observed in previous issues of this newsletter, it's unclear to China analysts how much this is about things done by Alibaba (and hence with read-across for other big Chinese tech companies), how much it's about Jack Ma, and how much this is pour encourager les autres.SolarWinds hackers viewed Microsoft source code - This story isn't going to go away. The (almost certainly Russian) hackers who breached a lot of big companies and government targets last year managed to get sight of some of Microsoft's source code. This probably doesn't create new security issues, since Microsoft's strategy has been to write code on the presumption that source can be viewed, but it still illustrates the scale of the breach, and we're still learning about more targets.

In this episode, we will discuss the upcoming WordPress 5.6 release, latest Black Friday deals for Bloggers and Genesis Block Theme BETA for WordPress.
Hello Happy Site Owners and Webmasters! Tips this week include: The deep dive I’m doing into extra video SEOWhy I have to make time to do woodworking postsThe price of successThe caveats and rewards of mixing pleasure and businessWhy I don’t monetize my passionsFinding your creative balanceWhat’s up with a rash of connection, purging, and image issues latelyMy first look at the new cPanel WordPress ToolkitWhat’s in the new Collections for Genesis BlocksA preview of Gutenberg as a full theme builderHow to take just a database or limited set of files backup in UpdraftPlus Listen to the Podcast Join me Live to Discuss Tips Tuesday I hope you’ll join for tonight’s livestream at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on the BlogAid Facebook Page. It’s a great way to get the deeper story on what’s reported in Tips Tuesday. And, I almost always have breaking news for the day too. So come join us live for the party. Replay Who I Help All tips, advice, and suggestions in this, and all BlogAid posts and tutorials, are intended to empower DIY site owners who are serious about making money with their sites and are not on hosting that is restrictive in what you can and can’t do with your site and hosting setup. If you have any doubts about what type of host you are on and if the tips I give will work there, see this post on What is Managed Hosting? BlogAid Happenings I sure hope you’re having a good week. The weather in my neck of the woods has been perfect and I find that truly energizing. And, I’m looking forward to a continuation of decent weather for my short vacation that I’ll be taking soon. I’ll be deep in the woods and totally unplugged this coming weekend while I visit my brother who lives on a lake in the southern part of the state. It’s a beautiful drive too. Deep Dive Into Extra Video SEO Last week I started all of the research and testing into the extra schema markup for embedded videos. This week I’m doing a deep dive into coordinating the SEO of videos that come from multiple sources, like video ads, videos in recipe cards, and more. Then I’ll be starting my new tests on speed when videos are in use on the post. It takes a LOT of deep digging to get all of these answers. But it’s going to be well worth it as I will have a video SEO course like no other, and one that will be especially appealing to folks who run ads. Those video ads are very lucrative. But, those site owners also want to get their YouTube videos, as well as videos for social media platforms working for them too. So, this is a rather complex thing to accomplish, and I will find how to make it all work together. Making Time for HWA Posts If you saw my recent post in the Hobby to Money-Making Site series titled Does a Try This, Try That Blog Strategy Work, then you know I’m 3 woodworking builds behind what I’ve been posting. These past few weeks I’ve struggled to keep my new office hours and so that I can have a little time away from BlogAid and its client work to do other things that interest me, and have a wee bit of time away from my desk for at least half days. And part of that time is hacking away at new posts for the builds I already have. While that means being at my desk, it also means that I’m making progress on these posts so I can get past them and begin implementing my new strategy of making fewer series posts that will allow me to get more posts out quickly and still satisfy my ultimate goals with this side-gig site. It is a big proving ground for the courses I teach on Gutenberg, SEO, and the new Video SEO course that is underway. The Price of Success There is a Jerry Rice quotation I see paraphrased a lot by online business coaches: “Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I will do what others can't.” I see that paraphrased as doing what others won’t so I can have what others can’t. And there is a quotation from Walden that I’ve seen paraphrased a lot lately: ...

談到比特幣,我們要先從一段歷史談起。2008年9月華爾街巨頭雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)轟然傾塌,標誌著全球金融危機進入高峰。其實早在2007 年 ,美國銀行業者,受房地產 「次級貸款」的影響,就已經開始顯現出流動性危機的徵兆。雷曼兄弟倒台後,聯準會宣佈出手援助美國保險巨頭 AIG(American International Group Inc, AIG-US)。財政部長鮑爾森(Hank Paulson)和聯準會主席柏南奇(Ben Bernanke)聯手全力向市場挹注資金。全球央行也同步開啓了印鈔模式,四大央行的總資產,從2002年的2.8兆美元,一路飛奔到現在的20兆美元,最高的時候接近21兆美元。2008 年 10 月 31 日,正當各國央行極力救市的當頭,中本聰發布論文名為 《比特幣:點對點電子現金系統》,次年 1 月 3 日,中本聰挖出比特幣的第一個區塊「創世區塊(Genesis Block)」,暗示,「比特幣是為了應對金融危機而生」。同樣的問題,我們想問,比特幣在十二年後已經是真正的貨幣了嗎?對了,還是要再拜託你,如果你喜歡這期節目,趕緊訂閱+5顆星評價轉發給你的朋友,我每週一、三、五早上八點準時更新。 如果你已經下載Telegram,直接在「聊天」搜尋:@billskitchen,加入「比爾的財經廚房」頻道!可以更直接跟我互動。 你可以在下面連結閱讀文稿:https://medium.com/@channelzkimo/39談食材-比特幣是真正的貨幣嗎-d8a4fac178da --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/u694au6bd4u723e/message

THE CRYPTO RUNDOWN INAUGURAL EPISODE: LOOKING BACK AT A CRAZY 2018 HOST: MARK LONGO, CEO - THE OPTIONS INSIDER MEDIA GROUP CO-HOST: TOBY ALLEN, HEAD OF DIGITAL ASSETS, AKUNA CAPITAL INTRO/OVERVIEW WHAT IS THIS SHOW ABOUT? WHAT CAN THE AUDIENCE LOOK FORWARD TO IN FUTURE EPISODES? THE BITCOIN BREAKDOWN SEGMENT The world's first bitcoins were mined ten years ago this week. The first bitcoins were mined in a block of 50 coins called "Genesis Block" on January 3, 2009 2009: The first-ever bitcoin transaction took place on January 9, 2009 between Nakamoto and software developer Hal Finney. 2010: It's widely believed the first real-world bitcoin transaction was made in May 2010 by programmer Laszlo Hanyecz. Hanyecz spent 10,000 bitcoins on two Papa John's pizzas; those pizzas would now be worth more than $30 million at today's bitcoin price. 2010: Bitcoin gained public attention later in 2010 with the creation of an exchange called Mt. Gox. The Tokyo-based exchange allowed investors to trade bitcoin, which was priced around $0.07 per coin for most of that year, according to CoinDesk. 2011- Bitcoin's price hit a milestone $1 in 2011. But a series of hacks on the Mt. Gox exchange that year exposed the cryptocurrency's vulnerability to big price swings. 2014: MT GOX HACK, BTC HIT $300 AND STAY THERE FOR THREE YEARS 2017: BTC CROSSED $1000, HIT $2000 IN JULY AND NEARLY $20K IN DECEMBER BITCOIN BREAKDOWN SEGMENT - LOOKING BACK AT 2018 THE THEME FOR BITCOIN THIS YEAR WAS “DOWNSIDE” - BITCOIN SIMPLY COULDN'T SUSTAIN MUCH UPSIDE MOMENTUM IN 2018. BITCOIN MARKET CAP: Throughout the entire year, all of the biggest coins by market valuation have lost more than three-quarters of their net worth since December 2017. The entire ecosystem's market valuation saw an all-time high of more than half a trillion dollars and today that metric is just above $100 billion. BITCOIN VOLATILITY: NOT AS VOLATILE AS MOST PEOPLE ASSUME CRYPTO QUESTIONS SEGMENT QUESTION FROM 77RT: When will we see bitcoin options on an exchange? QUESTION FROM BNUNES: What's the truth about bitcoin as an asset class? Some say crypto is digital gold and it's inversely correlated and others say that's nonsense. Which is it? QUESTION FROM SURREALGENTLEMAN: Heard a lot of noise over the past year about how bitcoin options skew would shape up if they were listed. Any idea how that that skew would look? Are the calls bid? Are the puts bid? Are they both bid? QUESTION FROM ELLEN KEMP: Seems like CME BTC contract won the horse race this year. Are you surprised that more people seem to prefer a five coin contract vs the one coin CBOE contract? QUESTION FROM JORDAN: Outlook for the crypto market in 2019?

January 3 2019 marks ten years since the creation of the very first block on the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. Known in more technical parlance as a “genesis block,” the first block on a blockchain is unique in that it — logically — contains no reference to any previous blocks, and is always hard-coded into the network’s software, establishing all of the necessary variables required to create the ensuing blockchain. Whereas Bitcoin’s theoretical foundations were laid with the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper on Oct. 31, 2008, Jan. 3, 2009 heralds the first practical implementation of the world’s first cryptocurrency — the realization of a peer-to-peer and cryptographically secure system for transacting in digital cash. As data from the Bitcoin Block Explorer tool indicates, block 0 — counted as block 1 in very early versions of the blockchain — was mined on Jan 3, 2009 at 1:15:05 p.m. EST, with a reward of 50 BTC. Today, the reward would be worth about $191,350, but at the time its value was inestimable — Bitcoin’s first ever recorded trading price was noted on Mar. 17, 2010, on the now-defunct trading platform bitcoinmarket.com, at a value of $0.003. The cryptocurrency’s inventor — the still-mysterious person or collective identified only as Satoshi Nakamoto — embedded the hexadecimal code of the genesis block’s coinbase with an encrypted Times headline from Jan 3, 2009, referencing the bailout of the United Kingdom’s banks. When decoded, this covert nod to the economic and political context that gave the impetus for the coin’s invention reads as follows: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” The aftermath of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in fall 2008 had been the tipping point for economic turmoil, global recession and, subsequently, the controversial “too big to fail” rationale for state intervention. In the midst of this context, Nakamoto’s innovation proposed a bold alternative — a disintermediated, non-state-controlled digital exchange and store of value — to the ailing incumbent system. Ten years on, the mystery enshrouding Bitcoin’s inventor remains as impenetrable as ever. Those both within and without the crypto community began attempting to determine Nakamoto’s identity as early as October 2011, just a few months after the mysterious figure first went silent. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading at $3,831 — up 127,699,900 percent since its first recorded traded value. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nolan-emmett/message
"Sie werden so schnell alt" - und schon sind 10 Jahre seit dem Genesis Block vergangen. Die Bitcoin Blockchain schlägt weiter ihr emsiges Herz und bringt der Welt finanzielle Freiheit. Was hat sich seit 2009 noch gleich alles verändert? Phil und Alex sprechen über die wichtigsten Meilensteine.

Genesis Block News is designed to provide raw, uncensored, and decentralized news for Crypto Anarchists. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has the potential to take over the global financial system and become the dominant form of money on the planet Earth, and in the rest of the universe. However, cryptocurrency is under attack by the wealthy establishment, in this world which has become a totalitarian oligarchy. A news site is needed which is not scared to get to the point and be aggressive, in order to get the truth out there and fight the establishment which is trying to silence cryptocurrency. The survival of cryptocurrency depends on free speech, aggressiveness, and unity in anarchy. At Genesis Block News we are not going to pull any punches, and we will save the crypto space. The Bitcoin messiah is here, and like the messiah in the Torah, with the help of God, King of the Universe, we will tear down the iniquitous establishment. No form of crypto or blockchain news will be censored on this site, unlike other sites which are worried what governments, powerful people, and corporations will think of the news they post. Practically all of the current crypto news sites have become watered down to the point that the information they post is not useful, and prone to mainstream manipulation. At Genesis Block News we are not fearful of swimming against the rip current which is drowning the crypto space. Board the spaceship, strap in, buckle up, activate the ion shields, hit the thrusters, and join the crypto revolution. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/genesisblocknews/support
Epicenter - Learn about Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed Technologies
Public blockchains produce enormous amounts of data. In theory, anyone can access the raw contents of transaction and blocks. In practice, however, querying blockchains can prove to be a daunting task. The difficulty lies in the fact that blockchains are particular types of distributed databases and thus carry several limitations. Most, if not all, blockchains lack the most basic SQL querying capabilities supported by nearly every off-the-shelf database system. Take Bitcoin as an example. Its API lacks even the most basic calls which would allow a user to query any address and receive the balance. In order to achieve this, block explorers and alike have developed sophisticated middleware infrastructure that parses the blockchain, normalizes the data, and stores it in a database, where it can be queried. In the best of cases, companies offer API calls for only a limited set of operations. Google hopes to change this by freeing blockchain datasets. We’re joined by Allen Day, Science Advocate at Google’s Singapore office. Earlier this year, he and his team released the Bitcoin blockchain as a public dataset in Big Query, Google big data IaaS offering. In August, they added Ethereum to their list of freely available public datasets, which includes US census data, cannabis genomes, and the entirety of Reddit and Github. Anyone wishing to query the data can do so in SQL on the Big Query website or via an API. For instance, a relatively simple query would return the daily mean transaction fees since the Genesis Block in just a few seconds. Coupled with Google’s AI and Machine Learning infrastructure and other open data sets, one can only imagine the potentially groundbreaking insights we could gain from this data. Topics covered in this episode: Allen’s background as a geneticist The similarities between blockchains and evolution process in lifeforms Google’s cloud platform and its various components Big Query and its publicly available datasets The Bitcoin and Ethereum datasets in Big Query Why this data is useful to the public and for what it may be used The particular challenges in implementing Ethereum as opposed to Bitcoin Insights we may gain by crossing blockchain dataset with other data How machine learning and AI could help us better understand specific transaction patterns Episode links: Bitcoin in BigQuery: blockchain analytics on public data Bitcoin Blockchain Public Dataset Ethereum in BigQuery: a Public Dataset for smart contract analytics Ethereum in BigQuery: how we built this dataset Ethereum Blockchain Public Dataset Change Agent by Daniel Suarez Real-time Ethereum Notifications for Everyone for Free ethjs-abi library, compiled for use in Google BigQuery Kaggle: Your Home for Data Science The Strange Inevitability of Evolution - Issue 20: Creativity - Nautilus Reddit_ Google Cloud Thank you to our sponsors for their support: The open, decentralized trading protocol for ERC20 tokens using the Dutch auction mechanism.

Today we're taking a walk down memory lane to discover just where the very first Bitcoin were 'mined' and how it came to be. What about the time when nobody, and I mean NOBODY owned a single Bitcoin? That is, no address had any Unspent Transaction Outputs because there were no transactions, no users, and most importantly no Bitcoin to spend.

In this episode host Sam Davidson interviews Nicki J Crawford. ABOUT NICKI J. CRAWFORD: "Niki J. Crawford’s first EP titled the Genesis Block is carried by soaring and multi-layered vocals, her most fully realized work to date that is finely attuned and anchored by the type of rhythmic instrumentation that allows her range and depth to be heard in its finest hour. The songs are rooted in unabashed free expression with profoundly selfless lyrical compositions usually reserved for the most mature of songwriters. Each track teeters on themes of romance and conceit while remaining heartfully optimistic throughout the final verse". Niki J Crawford and her band bring the heat with a high energy soul get down.
