U.S. Embraces Bitcoin ETFs: A New Chapter
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently made history by approving the country's first Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This landmark decision includes an ETF from Brazilian firm Hashdex. This follows years of SEC rejections of Bitcoin ETF applications. BlackRock's proposal earlier in 2023 marked a turning point, generating widespread interest due to their market influence. Standard Chartered Bank predicts these ETFs could attract up to $100 billion in the first year.
Marcelo Sampaio, CEO of Hashdex, views the launch as a significant regulatory step in the U.S. and a victory for digital assets. Despite the approval, SEC Chair Gary Gensler cautions investors, clarifying that the SEC doesn't endorse Bitcoin. To lure investors, companies like BlackRock are cutting administration fees, with some even offering zero fees.
The anticipation of ETF approvals has already boosted Bitcoin's value significantly, with a more than 160% increase over the past year. However, after the announcement, Bitcoin's value momentarily dipped. Analysts predict the ETFs could drive Bitcoin's value to new heights, potentially reaching $50,000 soon and possibly its all-time high later in the year. They also anticipate a favorable impact from the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, which reduces its inflation rate. But there is caution about potential profit-taking once it reaches certain levels.
Nicole Dyskant from Fireblocks notes that the SEC's decision influences more than just market liquidity. It could transform the broader financial and capital markets. The days leading up to the ETF launch saw cybersecurity incidents and criticism. The SEC's Twitter account was hacked, falsely announcing the ETF approvals, which the SEC later denied and began investigating. Gensler has also warned about risks in the crypto market, emphasizing the importance of understanding risks and legal compliance.

🇬🇧 The Prevent video game that treats every teenager like a far-Right extremist
Youngsters threatened with referral to anti-terror programme if they question migration while playing
A state-funded computer game is warning teenagers that they risk being referred to a counter-terrorism programme if they question mass migration.
Pathways is an interactive game designed for 11- to 18-year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, a Home Office programme for tackling extremism.
Young players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy and girl – to avoid being reported for “extreme Right-wing ideology” after discussing migration online.
Characters can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread “harmful ideological messages”, or join protests against the “erosion of British values”. Even researching online immigration statistics is portrayed negatively.
Other in-game pitfalls include sharing a video that claims Muslim men,...
IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE: A BURIED CIA VIDEO JUST SURFACED… AND ERIKA KIRK IS IN IT
https://x.com/hustlebitch_/status/2009688114923745442?s=46
A 10-year-old documentary about EMP attacks and U.S. power grid vulnerability has quietly surfaced - and buried inside it is Erika Kirk.
She’s not observing.
She’s not a host.
She’s in a role most civilians never get near, briefing national security professionals alongside a former CIA National Security & Energy Specialist on how an EMP or coordinated physical attack could collapse the U.S. power grid.
This isn’t casual footage.
It’s technical.
It’s inside-baseball.
And it’s the exact kind of material most people never get near, let alone present.
Which raises some very uncomfortable questions:
Why was she in that role?
What qualified her to brief on national security threats?
Who brought her into that room, and why is none of it explained?
Back then, this clip passed quietly. Today, with everything surrounding her, it ...
