What's Next for Bitcoin
There are a number of significant events on the horizon for Bitcoin, including ETFs:
The next Bitcoin halving: Bitcoin halvings occur every 210,000 blocks, which is approximately every four years. During a halving, the amount of Bitcoin rewarded to miners for each block mined is reduced by half. This event is significant because it reduces the supply of new Bitcoin entering the market, which can lead to price increases. The next Bitcoin halving is expected to occur in 2024.
The approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF in the US: There are a number of Bitcoin ETF applications that are currently pending with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If the SEC approves a Bitcoin spot ETF, it would be a major milestone for the cryptocurrency and would likely lead to increased institutional investment in Bitcoin.
The development of new Bitcoin-related technologies: There are a number of new Bitcoin-related technologies that are under development, such as the Lightning Network and Taproot. These technologies have the potential to make Bitcoin more scalable, secure, and user-friendly. If these technologies are widely adopted, they could have a major positive impact on the Bitcoin ecosystem.
In addition to these specific events, there are a number of other factors that could have a significant impact on Bitcoin in the coming years.
For example, the regulatory environment for Bitcoin is constantly evolving, and changes in regulation could have a major impact on the price of Bitcoin. Additionally, the global economic outlook could also have an impact on Bitcoin, as Bitcoin is often seen as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.
** Impact of Bitcoin ETFs** A Bitcoin spot ETF would provide investors with a way to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to purchase and store the cryptocurrency themselves.
This would make it more convenient and accessible for investors to invest in Bitcoin. Additionally, a Bitcoin spot ETF would likely lead to increased institutional investment in Bitcoin, as institutions such as pension funds and mutual funds would be able to invest in Bitcoin through the ETF.
AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
