🔥 THE BEST BUYING TIME

Rare Signal Emerges Hinting Now Is The Best Time To Buy Bitcoin
By Namcios

A metric with a proven track record of spotting opportunistic entry points for bitcoin has just recently presented a buy signal, indicating it's now a great time to purchase the peer-to-peer currency.

The indicator is known as hash ribbons, and it intends to capture the end of miner capitulation, showing when hash rate appears to be beginning a recovery period. In this signal, the short-term 30 day moving average of the hash rate starts to look better than the long-term 60 day moving average.

Historically speaking, buying at the end of the miner capitulation period has often produced long-term outsized returns for investors.

Only time will tell if history repeats itself to maintain the performance of such indicator.

🏦 POTENTIALLY CORRUPTED

Environmental, Social And Governance Is A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
By Macro Jack

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is a criteria that some investors use to evaluate opportunities when considering where to allocate their capital. Although at face value the concept sounds harmless and seems to be a good initiative to approach environmental or social issues, in reality, the ESG evaluation process is arbitrary, opaque and centralized, leaving significant room for corruption.

Similar to the social credit system imposed by the Chinese Communist Party, ESG is just another measure of the elite’s agenda to consolidate capital and centrally plan the allocation of resources, destroying the remains of the free market in the process.

If you don't believe it, just know that Larry Fink, one of the key proponents of ESG and CEO of the world's largest asset manager (managing more than $10 trillion), enjoys flying private and relaxing in his Aspen mansion while telling you to reduce your carbon footprint.

An Overview Of The Tradeoffs For Different Sidechains Implementations
By Namcios

Sidechains is one of the most discussed topics among Bitcoin Core developers lately. Many of the ongoing Bitcoin Improvement Proposals are about the implementation of sidechains as a scaling and feature extension mechanism for Bitcoin.

In this article, Shinobi goes into further detail on the topic and, after explaining all there is to know about spacechains, use cases, softchains, drivechains and federated chains, he now discusses the tradeoffs that these kinds of implementations could bring to the ecosystem. Ultimately, each Bitcoin sidechain implementation brings about different centralization and consensus issues to weigh and consider.

Hopefully, one day the technology to implement sidechains without significant tradeoff will be developed, but currently nothing in existence has come close.

MEME OF THE DAY 

By Bitcoin Magazine

Bitcoin should be a one-way street for everyone. People should just buy bitcoin and never sell it.

This does not mean one should not use it, but storing value, or exchanging it for something of value is different than selling for "a profit" in fiat currency.

There is another saying which goes around the Bitcoin ecosyste:

"Friends don't let friends sell bitcoin."

Enjoy your day,
