This week saw heightened activity in crypto regulation news as political tensions escalated and lawmakers renewed their focus on digital asset policy. Regulatory developments moved quickly across the digital asset space, with several key actions and proposals reshaping the conversation. Lawmakers Demand SEC Probe Potential Trump Influence in Crypto Enforcement One of this week’s most pressing developments came from Capitol Hill, where Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Maxine Waters called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to examine whether political interference tied to Donald Trump’s family was influencing the agency’s crypto enforcement decisions. @SenWarren and @RepMaxineWaters have asked the SEC to preserve all records tied to Trump-linked crypto firm @worldlibertyfi World Liberty Financial. #WLF #ElizabethWarren https://t.co/mwxXN5DLPB — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 3, 2025 In a letter to Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda, the lawmakers raised concerns over World Liberty Financial (WLF) , a crypto firm allegedly connected to members of Trump’s family. Warren and Waters requested access to all related internal communications and sought clarification on any enforcement decisions involving WLF. The letter reflects growing concern among Democrats about possible conflicts of interest and political interference in crypto regulation. Fed’s Power to Issue a CBDC Faces Setback In a blow to the Federal Reserve’s digital currency ambitions, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee passed legislation this week designed to prevent the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to individuals. The U.S. House @FinancialCmte passes the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, aiming to block the Federal Reserve from issuing CBDCs, citing privacy concerns and financial autonomy risks. #CBDC #Crypto https://t.co/iqArpCmVg7 — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 3, 2025 Introduced by Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), the bill passed in a 27–22 vote. Emmer, a vocal critic of CBDCs, has warned that a government-issued digital dollar could increase government oversight of U.S. citizens’ financial activity. The vote reflects broader skepticism among Republicans regarding CBDCs and concerns that the technology could expand federal authority over private financial behavior. Stablecoin Regulation Gains Momentum with STABLE Act In a separate move, lawmakers advanced the STABLE Act —short for Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy—through the House Financial Services Committee in a 32–17 vote. The U.S. House @FinancialCmte passes the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, aiming to block the Federal Reserve from issuing CBDCs, citing privacy concerns and financial autonomy risks. #CBDC #Crypto https://t.co/iqArpCmVg7 — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 3, 2025 Sponsored by Rep. French Hill (R-AR) and Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI), the bill outlines requirements for audits, reserves, and licensing for stablecoin issuers. The legislation seeks to establish a legal framework for the issuance and regulation of dollar-pegged stablecoins. The bill marks progress toward formally integrating stablecoins into the U.S. financial system, with bipartisan support boosting its chances of eventually becoming law. CFTC Withdraws Key Crypto Guidelines in Shift Toward Mainstreaming The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) this week withdrew two staff advisories related to the listing of crypto derivatives products, including Staff Advisory No. 18-14 . The #US Commodity Futures Trading Commission @CFTC withdrew two crypto-related staff advisories in yet another shift in the country’s regulatory efforts. #Crypto https://t.co/n05zeJC7wU — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 3, 2025 The documents had previously set out detailed expectations for market participants, particularly exchanges. The withdrawal suggests the agency may now view digital assets as mature enough for regulatory treatment similar to traditional asset classes. Crypto firms will still be subject to oversight, but the shift suggests a more traditional approach may be emerging. Senate Advances Trump Nominee Paul Atkins to Lead SEC The Senate Banking Committee narrowly approved Paul Atkins—nominated by former President Donald Trump—to lead the SEC in a 13–11 vote on Thursday. The Senate Banking Committee voted 13-11 in favor of advancing SEC Commissioner pick Paul Atkins' nomination. #PaulAtkins #SEC https://t.co/Y9M6yVcZ8C — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 3, 2025 Atkins previously served as an SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008 and is known for his deregulatory views. If confirmed, his leadership could signal a change in how the SEC approaches crypto enforcement, particularly amid concerns over the agency’s aggressive stance in recent years. U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies Set to Disclose Crypto Holdings In line with an executive order issued during the Trump administration, the U.S. Treasury Department and other federal agencies are expected to disclose their cryptocurrency holdings on April 5. The U.S. Treasury is set to reveal its crypto holdings, including Bitcoin, on April 5, following Trump’s executive order. #Bitcoin #Crypto https://t.co/Tn82o8kAwE — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 1, 2025 The report is expected to include details on Bitcoin and potentially other assets such as XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The disclosure is intended to increase transparency around government involvement in crypto and could influence sentiment depending on the asset allocations revealed. The week’s developments added fresh complexity to ongoing crypto regulation news across Capitol Hill and federal agencies. Where Crypto Regulation Stands Now Last week’s events underscored how U.S. crypto regulation news remains driven by shifting political dynamics, institutional tensions, and evolving digital asset frameworks. With lawmakers investigating Trump-linked firms, CBDC initiatives facing roadblocks, and stablecoin regulation gaining traction, the path forward for digital assets remains unpredictable. As policy debates continue, crypto businesses and investors will be watching closely—because what happens in Washington no longer stays in Washington.

Bitcoin Magazine The Future of Bitcoin Mining is Distributed In a recent video interview by Bitcoin Magazine, Troy Cross, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Reed College, delves into the topic of his latest article for Bitcoin Magazine’s “The Mining Issue,” titled “Why the Future of Bitcoin Mining is Distributed.” Watch the full discussion here . In the interview, Troy explores the centralization vectors in Bitcoin mining and presents a compelling argument for the decentralization of hashrate. Despite the economies of scale that have given rise to mega mining operations, he highlights a critical—and potentially economic—imperative for distributing mining power, offering insights into the future of Bitcoin’s infrastructure. The following article is featured in Bitcoin Magazine’s “The Mining Issue”. Subscribe to receive your copy. Table of Contents Intro The Attack How Did Bitcoin Mining End up in Large U.S. Data Centers? Why Mining Will Be Distributed and Small-Scale Once Again Geopolitics Intro When Donald Trump said he wants all the remaining bitcoin to be “MADE IN THE USA!!!” Bitcoiners cheered. Mining is good, right? We want it to happen here! And indeed, the U.S. is well on its way to dominating the industry. Publicly listed U.S. miners alone are responsible for 29% of Bitcoin’s hashrate — a percentage that only seems to be growing. Pierre Rochard, vice president of research at Riot Platforms, predicts that by 2028, U.S. miners will produce 60% of the hashrate. But let’s be honest: Concentrating most Bitcoin mining in the U.S., especially in large public miners (as opposed to a Bitaxe in every bedroom), is a terrible idea. If the majority of miners reside in a single nation, especially a nation as rich and powerful as the U.S., miner behavior would be driven not only by Satoshi’s well-designed incentives but also by the political whims of whatever regime happens to be in power. If Trump ever gets what he said he wants, the very future of bitcoin as non-state money would be at risk. In what follows, I outline what a nation-state attack on bitcoin through the regulation of miners would look like. Then I review the incentive structures that have pushed Bitcoin mining to large U.S. data centers under the control of a handful of companies. Finally, I make the case that the future of Bitcoin mining does not resemble its recent past. Bitcoin mining, I think, will revert to a distribution closer to its early days, where miners were as plentiful and as geographically dispersed as the nodes themselves. I also argue that despite some Bitcoiners’ enthusiasm for “hash wars”, and despite political chest-thumping, nation-states actually have an interest in a future in which no country dominates Bitcoin mining. This “non-dominance dynamic” sets bitcoin apart from other technologies, including weapons, where the payoff for dominating drives nations in a competition to corner the market first. But with Bitcoin mining, dominating is losing. When nation-states come to understand this very unique game theory, they will help defend it against miner concentration. The Attack If the U.S. had the majority of hashrate, how could bitcoin be attacked? With a single directive from the Treasury Department, the U.S. government could order miners to blacklist certain addresses from, say, North Korea or Iran. The government could also forbid miners from building on top of chains with forbidden blocks, i.e., all miners would be forbidden from adding a block to a chain containing an earlier block with a censored transaction. Large U.S. miners — public companies — would then have no choice but to follow the law; executives don’t want to go to prison. What’s more, even miners outside the U.S., or private miners within the U.S. choosing to flout the law, would have to censor. Why? If a rogue miner snuck a forbidden transaction into a block, law-abiding miners would have to orphan that block, building directly atop of earlier, government-approved blocks. Orphaning the block would mean the rogue miner’s own reward, their coinbase transaction, would be orphaned as well, leaving the miner with nothing to show for their work. What would happen next is unclear to me, but none of the outcomes are ideal. We would have a fork of some kind. The new fork could use a different algorithm, making all existing ASICs incompatible with the new chain. Alternatively, the fork could keep the existing algorithm, but manually invalidate blocks coming from known bad actors. Either option would leave us with a government-compliant bitcoin and a noncompliant bitcoin, where the government-compliant fork would run the original code. When I’ve heard Bitcoiners discuss these scenarios, they usually say everyone would dump “government coin”, and buy “freedom coin”. But would that really happen? Maybe we, the readers of Bitcoin Magazine , freedom seekers, and cypherpunk types, would dump the censored fork bitcoin for the new freedom variant. But I doubt that BlackRock, Coinbase, Fidelity, and the rest of Wall Street would follow suit. So the relative economic value of these two forks, particularly another five to ten years into the future, is far from clear to me. Even if a noncompliant fork of bitcoin were to survive and retain much of its economic value, it would be weakened economically and philosophically. Now consider the same attack scenario but with well-distributed hashrate. Suppose U.S. miners represent only 25% of the hashrate. Suppose the U.S. government forces miners to blacklist addresses, and worse, orphan any new blocks containing transactions with blacklisted addresses. This is still bad. But the 75% of miners outside of the reach of U.S. law would continue to include noncompliant transactions, so the heaviest chain would still include noncompliant blocks. If there is a fork in this distributed-mining scenario, it is the government-compliant bitcoin that would have to fork away and abandon proof of work for social consensus. This is still a dark scenario. Custodial services in the U.S. may be forced to support the new compliant bitcoin, and that would pose an economic threat, at least for a time, to the real bitcoin. But if the mining network persists outside the U.S. and has the majority of hashrate, this seems more like the U.S. opting out of bitcoin than the U.S. co-opting bitcoin, as it could with hashrate dominance. How Did Bitcoin Mining End up in Large U.S. Data Centers? Bitcoin mining’s evolution is a case study in economies of scale. Let’s go back to the beginning. What we think of as the distinctive functions of miners — collecting transactions into blocks, doing proof of work, and publishing their blocks to the network — were all part of Satoshi’s descriptions of what nodes do. There were no distinctive “miners”; every node could mine with the click of a button. So in those early days, mining was as decentralized as the nodes themselves. But CPU mining was quickly displaced by mining on graphics cards and FPGAs, and then from 2013 onward, by ASICs. Mining remained a vestigial option on nodes for many years, until in 2016 Bitcoin Core finally dropped the pretense and removed it entirely in version 0.13.0 of the software. Once mining took on a life of its own, apart from node running, using its own specialized equipment and expertise, it started to scale. This was entirely predictable. In The Wealth of Nations , Adam Smith describes a pin factory employing only 10 people that produces 48,000 pins per day, where each employee, all on their own, could make at most 1 pin per day. By specializing in one stage of the pin-making process, developing tools for each subtask, and combining their efforts sequentially, the employees produced far more pins with the same amount of labor. One way to think about this is that the cost of increasing production by one pin is negligible for a factory already making 48,000, having already sunk cost into the equipment and skills; it would only require a slight addition of labor and materials. But for someone producing one pin a day, the marginal cost of adding one pin to production doubles. Mining, once freed from the CPU, had many features that lent themselves to efficiencies of scale just like making pins in a pin factory. ASICs are specialized tooling, like pin-making machines. So are the data centers designed for the special power density and cooling needs of those ASICs. Likewise, compared to mining in one’s basement, mining in a multi-megawatt commercial facility spreads the same fixed costs over many more mining units. Some examples of relatively scale-indifferent expenses encountered by miners include: Power expertise Power equipment Control systems expertise ASIC repair expertise Cooling expertise Cooling facilities Legal expertise Finance expertise In a larger operation, not only are fixed costs absorbed by a larger number of revenue-producing machines, but one also gains bargaining power with suppliers and labor. Scaling up from one’s basement to the local commercial park, one gets a better price on electricity. Scaling up from an office park presence to a mega-center, one begins to employ power specialists who draw up sophisticated contracts with power suppliers and financially hedge against price movements. Sending one machine off for repair whenever it breaks down costs more — per repair incident — than simply hiring a repair specialist to find failing ASICs and fix them on-site, provided the scale of operation is large enough. And when dealing with ASIC manufacturers, pricing is relative to the size of the order. Major players can drive a harder bargain, squeezing smaller miners like Walmart squeezed main street shops by negotiating lower prices for their wares. Economies of scale should surprise no one, as they apply to some degree to almost all manufactured goods. The benefits of size naturally explain how mining went from something I did with graphics cards in my basement 13 years ago to facilities approaching 1 GW today. But that is why mining has scaled up, not why it has concentrated in the U.S. and in large public companies. To understand the latter requires noticing two more factors. The first is another good that scales: financing. Large public companies can raise cash through diluting their stock or issuing bonds. Neither of these fundraising mechanisms is available to a small-scale miner. True, they can borrow, but not on the same terms as a large company, and the U.S. has the deepest capital markets in the world. Secondly, the U.S. has “rule of law”, a relatively stable legal system, reducing the risk that, for instance, the state would seize a mining operation or that regulators would arbitrarily halt operations. The other feature that drew mining to the U.S. in the past few years was the availability of power infrastructure. After China banned Bitcoin mining, it became profitable to mine virtually anywhere in the world with basically any ASIC. But the U.S. had available power infrastructure, much of it in the rust belt, left behind when U.S. manufacturing made an exit for China. The U.S. also had abundant power in West Texas, stranded wind and solar energy incentivized by subsidies but insufficiently interconnected to East Texas and to the rest of the country. In the wake of the China Ban, miners quickly occupied the underutilized rust-belt infrastructure and took advantage of the abundant power and cheap land to build data centers in West Texas. The ability to raise and deploy large amounts of funding is a striking advantage, and one that compounds with others, given Bitcoin mining’s fixed, global reward. With ample funding from the markets, the largest public Bitcoin miners were able to secure the newest, most efficient, and most powerful ASICs as well as negotiate the best power contracts, hire the best experts on firmware and software, and so on. Not only did this put smaller miners at a disadvantage, but the large miners could then boost global hashrate significantly, driving up difficulty. When the price of bitcoin fell, with a debt-fueled ASIC fleet already deployed, margins shrank to almost nothing for miners that did not have the advantages of scale. Even a public miner in bankruptcy could continue running their massive fleet of machines during restructuring, driving out their smaller competitors while navigating the legal system. Thus did mining grow from hobbyist scale to gigawatt scale, and thus did it settle in America. Mining is a brutally competitive commodity business, and the efficiencies afforded by scale proved decisive, especially when funded by debt and dilution. Why Mining Will Be Distributed and Small-Scale Once Again Just as there are economies of scale, there are also diseconomies of scale, where unit production costs actually increase with size at a certain point. For instance, it’s obvious why there isn’t just one gigantic food factory that feeds everyone in the world every meal. Yes, there are efficiencies in the factory production of food — witness the average farm size over the past century — but there are limits too. Fresh ingredients must be shipped to a factory and the final product then must be shipped to consumers. Both the inputs and the outputs of a food factory are perishable and heavy. Shipping costs to and from a single factory would be exorbitant, and quality would suffer in comparison to more local markets with fresher food. Similar factors explain why sawmills and paper mills are near forests, and why bottling plants are near fresh water. But shipping bitcoin costs nothing: It’s a simple matter of making a ledger entry on the Bitcoin blockchain itself, which takes mere seconds. And although I like to brag about mining our artisanal Portland bitcoin, there are actually no local flavors of bitcoin that differ depending on where it’s made. All bitcoin is qualitatively identical. This is all the more reason global bitcoin production should centralize to the single, very best place to make bitcoin. There’s just one problem with centralizing all mining into a single plant: Bitcoin mining is energy-intensive. In fact, it already uses more than 1% of the world’s electricity. Electricity is the primary operating cost of mining bitcoin, often representing 80% of operating expenses. And unlike bitcoin, electricity does not travel well. Not at all. In fact, electricity is a lot like food that perishes instantly and requires expensive, specialized infrastructure to transport. For electricity, that infrastructure is wires, transformers, substations, and so on — all the elements of an electrical grid. Shipping electricity is actually much of the cost of electricity. What we call “generation” is often a minority of the total cost of electricity, which also includes “transmission and distribution” charges. And while the cost of generation continues to fall with advances in technology and manufacturing efficiency for solar panels, grid investments are only becoming more costly. So it makes no sense to ship electricity around the globe to a single bitcoin factory. Instead, bitcoin factories should sit at the sites of generation where they can avoid transmission and distribution costs altogether, and then ship the bitcoin from those sites for free. This is already happening, in fact. It’s called putting your Bitcoin mine “behind the meter”. Mining companies will play up their differences: firmware, pools, cooling systems, finance, power expertise, management teams. But at the core of what they do, there is little to separate different mining companies from one another: The product is identical, it costs nothing to ship, and they use exactly the same machines (ASICs) to convert electricity to bitcoin. Differences in electricity cost largely determine which miners will survive and which will not. In a prolonged period of price stagnation, or even a steady rise, only those companies with access to the cheapest electricity will be operating. The master argument, then, for a global distribution of miners in the future goes as follows. First, Bitcoin mining, by design, is driven to the cheapest energy in the world. Second, cheap energy is distributed around the world, and also “behind the meter”. So, third, mining will be geographically distributed and behind the meter too. For the sake of argument, imagine Donald Trump’s wish is granted and all mining is in the U.S. and that mining is in equilibrium, i.e., mining margins are extremely tight. If someone finds power elsewhere in the world that is cheaper than the average U.S. miner’s, and deploys ASICs there, hashrate will increase and some U.S. miners (those with the highest expenses) will go out of business. This process will repeat until mining only happens on the cheapest energy in the world. Cheap energy takes different forms: gas in the Middle East and in Russia; hydro projects in Kenya and Paraguay; solar in Australia, Morocco, and Texas. The reason energy is distributed is that nature has distributed it. Rain and elevation changes (i.e., rivers) are everywhere. Fossil fuel deposits are everywhere. The wind blows everywhere. The sun shines almost everywhere. In fact, the global distribution of energy is somewhat guaranteed by the solar path around the planet. As the sun shines most brightly, its energy is bound to be wasted by solar-powered systems, as power infrastructure is never designed for peak generation. I predict that in the future, a substantial portion of the hashrate will follow the solar path, with machines using the excess solar either overclocking during that period or, if they are older and otherwise unprofitable, turning on only for that brief period when the system is producing more electricity than the grid demands. The master argument above can be slightly modified to reach other conclusions about the future of mining. I also think, for example, that there is abundant cheap power at a small scale, and a limited amount of cheap power at a truly massive scale (100 MW+). It follows that, provided Bitcoin mining continues to grow, small-scale mining will make a return and the trend toward megamines will reverse as large-scale sources of cheap power disappear. To see why cheap power exists mostly at the small scale, we could go on a case-by-case basis. For instance, we could look at why flare-gas waste happens in a distributed small-scale way, and why solar inverters are undersized, leading to clipped power all over the system. But I would rather think about the broader principle. Where we have cheap power at scale it is a massive mistake . For instance, the mistake may be building a dam or nuclear plant no one really needed. Massive mistakes are limited in number: They’re expensive! There is a limit to fiat stupidity. Smaller-scale mismatches of supply and demand are going to be more common, all else equal. If gas production at an oil well is big enough, for instance, it will make sense to build a pipeline to ship it out; if it’s relatively small, it will not make sense to build the pipeline and the gas will be stranded. Likewise for landfills. The largest landfills have generators and are grid-connected, but the smaller landfills often fall short of even collecting their methane, let alone generating electricity with it and feeding that electricity to the grid. The same is true of dairy farms. Further, bitcoin is not the only form of energy-intensive computation. If there are large quantities of cheap energy, other forms of computation will take up residence there and, being less sensitive to the price of electricity, they will outbid bitcoin miners. Those other forms, at least at present, do not scale down as well as bitcoin. It follows that the days of mining on supercheap, large-scale power are numbered. On the other hand, if you are mining bitcoin by mitigating flare gas on a desolate, windswept oil patch far from a pipeline, there is virtually no chance anyone will outbid you in order to do AI inference at your location. The same is true if you are mining on overprovisioned home solar. Small-scale energy waste is far less appealing to competitors but usable for Bitcoin miners. Mining can scale down enough to reach into these crevices of energy, whereas other kinds of energy consumers cannot. Another version of the argument above trades on the distributed demand for waste heat. All of the electrical energy entering a bitcoin miner is conserved and leaves the miner as low-grade heat. With this waste energy, miners are heating greenhouses, villages, and bathhouses. But heating needs can typically be met with a small deployment of machines. An ASIC or two can heat a home or a swimming pool. Yet using waste heat to substitute for electrical heating improves the overall economics of mining. Other things equal, a miner selling their heat will be more profitable than a miner not selling their heat. So here is another argument that mining will be globally distributed and smaller scale: The demand for heat is globally distributed — though greater in the far north and south — and at a very limited scale. As I’ve said, I believe Bitcoin mining will be driven to the world’s cheapest energy. But this is the trend only if the price of bitcoin rises slowly. In an aggressive bull market — and we have seen several — Bitcoin miners will use any energy available, wherever they can plug in machines. If bitcoin’s price rockets to $500,000, all my models are destroyed. But in this bullish scenario, too, mining becomes globally distributed, this time not because the cheapest power is distributed but because available power is distributed. Bitcoin at $500,000 means all ASICs are profitable on any power, and the U.S. alone does not have the infrastructure to handle that kind of demand shock even if it wanted to. So, bitcoin will be distributed either way. It is worth noting, too, that high-margin times are short-lived, as ASIC production will always catch up, in the pursuit of profits, driving margins back down. So, over the long term, the distribution of Bitcoin miners will still be determined by the distribution of the world’s cheapest energy. For my arguments to work, the diseconomies of scale must outweigh the economies of scale listed above. To determine the balance of these two requires nothing less than a deep dive into the spreadsheets of each kind of mining business, which would be inappropriate here. Suffice it to say I believe that if the difference in the cost of electricity is great enough, then it outweighs everything else. But I can’t pretend to have provided anything like a proof here. These are the broad strokes; the finer details remain an exercise for the reader. Geopolitics Thus far, I’ve contemplated miner incentives without regard to nation-states themselves. We know that just as some countries are buying bitcoin, others are mining bitcoin with their energy resources. Nation-states have incentives independent of anything Satoshi contemplated. For instance, Iran may mine bitcoin in order to monetize its oil because sanctions make selling it on the open market impossible, or expensive at any rate. Russia may mine for similar reasons. Such nation-state actors could “mine at a loss” relative to a miner paying for their own power, because the nation-state’s cost of energy is subsidized by the taxpayer. Their mining at scale, in turn, could make it less profitable for everyone else, and push marginally profitable miners out of business. I do not see nation-state mining as ultimately concentrating hashpower, however. As things stand, mining in Russia and Iran is actually good for bitcoin, as it checks the advance of mining by U.S. public companies, which dwarf them in scale. Moreover, if some nation-state begins to produce a disproportionate share of the hashrate, while bitcoin is an important piece of the global economy, I expect other nation-states with a stake in bitcoin’s success — or even large bitcoin holders — would also begin to mine at a loss in order to keep mining decentralized. The game theory here is not intuitive. Rather than a competition to dominate, bitcoin is a game in which everyone wins when no one dominates and everyone loses when anyone dominates. For virtually every other technology or weapons system in the world, the best strategy is to achieve global dominance. Thus, we see a race to dominance in battery technology, chip manufacturing, drones, AI, and so on. This is called the “Thucydides trap” in foreign policy because it dictates a preemptive attack on a rising rival: The reward is immense for coming in first, and the loss is incalculable for coming in second. But if you dominate Bitcoin mining, that is bad for Bitcoin mining, and therefore bad for bitcoin and therefore bad for you. As Bitcoin mining concentrates in one nation, everyone sees the possibility of an attack on the neutrality of bitcoin, which lies at the core of its value proposition. For instance, Russia might hold bitcoin to avoid the U.S. freezing its reserves, as the U.S. did with Russia’s fiat reserves upon their invasion of Ukraine. But if mining is concentrated in the U.S., Russia could not trust that their addresses wouldn’t be blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury Department. Russia, therefore, would dump its bitcoin for some other asset if it saw this threat arising. Miners in the U.S. would see their share of block rewards rise as they achieved dominance over other miners, but the value of their block rewards would drop as the price of bitcoin itself dropped. Other things equal, then, miners in the U.S. would not want Russians to stop mining and dump their bitcoin. U.S. miners should not want to “win”, at least not in this way. And if bitcoin is a meaningful enough part of the U.S. economy, the U.S. itself should not want its miners to win. Rather, if any nation approaches dominance, we should expect those heavily invested in bitcoin, including nation-states, to mine enough to prevent losses to their own investments. Bitcoiners should hope that the USA will mine enough bitcoin that no country, including itself, mines a majority of it. That’s a terrible slogan for a campaign rally, and it doesn’t capture the imagination like “hash wars”. But as a Bitcoiner, it is the only rational preference one should have.

Hold onto your hats, crypto enthusiasts! The latest U.S. jobs report has just dropped, and it’s a mixed bag that could send ripples through the crypto market. While the headlines scream about a significant jump in job creation, a closer look reveals a more nuanced picture, especially when considering its potential effects on your digital assets. Let’s dive into the details and break down what this all means for the world of cryptocurrency. Decoding the US Nonfarm Payrolls Surge: A Closer Look The U.S. labor market delivered a powerful punch in March, with US nonfarm payrolls exploding by a whopping 228,000 jobs. This figure dramatically exceeded market forecasts, which had anticipated a more modest increase of 137,000. Think of it like this: economists were expecting a gentle stream of new jobs, but instead, they got a roaring river! This positive surprise initially suggests a robust and resilient economy, which is often seen as a good sign for risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Here’s a quick breakdown of the key figures: Indicator March Data Expectation Previous (Revised) US Nonfarm Payrolls 228,000 137,000 190,000 Unemployment Rate 4.2% 4.1% 4.0% However, before we get too carried away with the positive job numbers, there’s another side to this story: the unemployment rate . While job creation was strong, the unemployment rate actually ticked upwards to 4.2%, slightly above the expected 4.1%. This rise, though marginal, introduces a layer of complexity. It suggests that while many jobs are being added, more people are also entering the labor force and are still seeking employment. This could be due to various factors, such as increased labor force participation or people re-entering the job market after a period of absence. Unpacking the Unemployment Rate Rise: What Does it Signal? The increase in the unemployment rate, even by a small margin, is a noteworthy detail. It prevents us from painting a completely rosy picture of the jobs report analysis . Here’s what this subtle rise could indicate: Increased Labor Force Participation: A higher unemployment rate alongside strong job growth might indicate that more people are actively looking for work. This is generally a positive sign in the long run, as it suggests a growing and dynamic workforce. Mismatch in Skills: It could also point to a potential skills gap in the labor market. While jobs are available, individuals may not possess the specific skills required to fill those positions. This is a structural issue that requires longer-term solutions like retraining and education initiatives. Lagging Sectors: Certain sectors of the economy might still be struggling, leading to job losses in those areas, even as other sectors are booming. A deeper dive into the sectoral breakdown of the jobs report would be needed to confirm this. For the crypto market, this mixed data creates uncertainty. On one hand, strong job growth is typically seen as positive for the overall economy, potentially leading to increased investment in riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, a rising unemployment rate could signal underlying economic vulnerabilities that might eventually dampen investor sentiment. Crypto Market Impact: Navigating the Economic Indicators So, how does this seemingly contradictory economic indicators data translate to the crypto market? The immediate reaction might be a bit muted due to the mixed signals. Here’s a breakdown of potential short-term and long-term impacts: Short-Term Crypto Market Reactions: Initial Hesitation: The market might experience initial hesitation as investors digest the conflicting data points. Traders will be trying to gauge whether the strong job growth outweighs the concern of rising unemployment. Dollar Strength: Stronger-than-expected payrolls could initially boost the U.S. dollar, which can sometimes have an inverse relationship with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, the unemployment data might temper this dollar strength. Volatility: Expect increased volatility in the crypto market as traders react to the news and try to interpret its implications for future monetary policy and economic growth. Long-Term Crypto Market Outlook: Inflationary Pressures: Sustained strong job growth could contribute to inflationary pressures. In an inflationary environment, some investors might turn to cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation, potentially driving up demand. Federal Reserve Policy: The Federal Reserve will be closely watching these US nonfarm payrolls and unemployment figures as they formulate monetary policy. Stronger job numbers could embolden the Fed to continue with its current path of interest rate hikes to combat inflation. Higher interest rates can sometimes make riskier assets like crypto less attractive compared to safer investments. Economic Resilience vs. Slowdown: The long-term impact on crypto will depend on whether the U.S. economy demonstrates continued resilience or if the rising unemployment rate is a harbinger of a potential economic slowdown. A strong economy generally supports risk asset growth, while a slowdown could lead to risk aversion. Actionable Insights for Crypto Investors Given this mixed economic data, what should crypto investors do? Here are some actionable insights: Stay Informed: Keep a close eye on further economic data releases and Federal Reserve communications. Understanding the broader macroeconomic picture is crucial for navigating the crypto market. Diversify Your Portfolio: Diversification is always a good strategy, especially in times of uncertainty. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments across different asset classes. Manage Risk: Be mindful of risk management. Consider using stop-loss orders and avoid over-leveraging in volatile market conditions. Long-Term Perspective: Remember that the crypto market is inherently volatile. Focus on the long-term potential of your chosen cryptocurrencies and avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. Fundamental Analysis: Continue to focus on the fundamentals of the crypto projects you are invested in. Strong projects with solid use cases are more likely to weather economic uncertainties.

As a result, traders and investors have since taken a keen interest in the digital coin. Moreover, the Hedera Hashgraph network shows prospects of becoming a force in the blockchain space. Every crypto investor asks: When will HBAR’s price rise again? Despite the overall bear market, the price momentum of the HBAR coin has been somewhat positive. With trading indicators pointing at a possible uptrend and the positive perception of HBAR, we might see a bullish scenario happening sooner: perhaps a retest of its all-time high.

Image Source: Trading view Based on the 1-day chart of HBAR on April 4, the asset is currently attempting to stabilize after a prolonged downtrend. The price is trading slightly above the lower Bollinger Band, which indicates potential short-term support around $0.157. However, the RSI at 37.65 remains in the lower range, suggesting that bearish momentum is still present and the market is not yet oversold. The middle Bollinger Band, acting as a dynamic resistance near $0.181, needs to be breached to confirm any bullish reversal. Until then, price action is likely to remain constrained within the current channel, with potential for modest upside if buyers gain traction. HBAR/USD 4-hour price chart HBAR/USD chart . Image Source: Trading view Based on the 4-hour chart of HBAR, the token appears to be in a consolidation phase following an extended downtrend. The price moves between the lower and middle Bollinger Bands, suggesting limited bullish momentum. The MACD remains below the signal line and near the zero axis, reflecting a lack of strong directional bias. However, the Balance of Power indicator shows a mild positive value of 0.19, implying slight buying interest. Resistance lies around $0.181, while support holds near $0.157. Without a breakout above the midline, further sideways action or mild upward correction is likely in the near term. What can you expect from the HBAR price analysis next? Based on both the 4-hour and 1-day charts, HBAR appears to be in a cautious recovery phase following prolonged downward pressure. On the 1-day chart, the price remains below the midline of the Bollinger Bands with an RSI of 39.41, suggesting mild bullish momentum but still within a neutral range. The MACD remains bearish but is showing signs of flattening, indicating weakening selling pressure. The 4-hour chart supports this outlook with the price attempting to hold above the lower band and a modest Balance of Power reading. If support around $0.157 holds, HBAR may gradually climb toward the $0.181 resistance level.

Hedera Hashgraph distinguishes itself with its Hashgraph consensus algorithm, which promises higher speed, security, and scalability than traditional blockchain technologies. This positions HBAR as a potentially innovative player in distributed ledger technology, catering to various applications, including smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). These notable features could spur HBAR to new highs in the coming months and years, making it a profitable investment tool. Will HBAR reach $1? Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) reaching $1 is possible but depends on several key factors, including market conditions, adoption rates, and overall crypto sentiment. HBAR has strong fundamentals with its fast, low-cost transactions and backing from major enterprises. If adoption grows within industries like DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications, demand for HBAR could push prices higher. However, competition from other layer-1 blockchains and regulatory factors may slow its growth. A bullish crypto cycle and wider institutional interest would be necessary for HBAR to reach $1. While achievable, sustained utility and investor confidence are crucial for long-term price appreciation. What will HBAR be worth in 2025? By 2025, HBAR is expected to be worth $0.34 How much will HBAR cost in 2030? By 2030, HBAR is expected to be worth $2.10 Can HBAR reach $20? HBAR reaching $20 would require an extraordinary market rally and widespread adoption, making it highly unlikely in the near future. For context, with HBAR’s current circulating supply of around 33 billion tokens, a $20 price would push its market capitalization to $660 billion, placing it among the largest cryptocurrencies, rivaling Bitcoin and Ethereum. Where to buy HBAR? Traders and investors can buy Hederah Hashgraph (HBAR) on these CEXs: Binance, KuCoin, HTX, Bybit, Bitget, and others. Will HBAR reach $10? HBAR reaching $10 is highly unlikely, requiring a massive market cap increase. Predictions for 2030 estimate HBAR could reach between $2.23 and $2.65, making $10 an unrealistic target without extraordinary market changes Will HBAR reach $100? Hederah Hashgraph (HBAR) reaching $100 is highly ambitious and would require exceptional growth, widespread adoption, and wild market speculation. Does HBAR have a good long-term future? HBAR has the potential for a good long-term future if it continues to gain popularity and adoption. Analysts project a market price of about $0.34 by 2025 and $0.50 by 2030. However, as with all meme coins, its future is uncertain and highly dependent on market trends and community support. Recent news/opinion on HBAR Nasdaq has applied to list an ETF holding Hedera’s HBAR token. This follows multiple filings by exchanges and asset managers seeking altcoin-based ETFs. The SEC must approve the listing before trading begins. In November, Canary Capital filed for its Canary HBAR ETF to provide investors exposure to Hedera’s native currency.

In the thrilling world of cryptocurrency, where volatility is the norm and fortunes can change in a heartbeat, one thing remains constant: the unwavering interest in Bitcoin. Even as Bitcoin (BTC) dances around the $80,000 mark, a fascinating trend is emerging. Data from Glassnode, highlighted by CoinDesk, reveals a surprising Bitcoin accumulation pattern. Both short-term and long-term holders are not just holding their ground; they are actively increasing their Bitcoin stashes in April. Let’s dive deep into what this means for the crypto market and what insights we can glean from this bullish behavior. Decoding Bitcoin Accumulation: What’s Driving the Buying Spree? Before we delve into the specifics of short-term and long-term holder activity, let’s understand what Bitcoin accumulation signifies. In essence, it’s the process of investors increasing their Bitcoin holdings. This can happen for various reasons, from anticipating future price increases to viewing Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. Accumulation phases are often seen as positive indicators for the market, suggesting growing confidence and demand. But what makes the current accumulation particularly noteworthy? Consider these points: Price Resilience: Bitcoin hovering near all-time highs might typically deter buying, yet we see increased accumulation. This suggests strong conviction among holders. Broad-Based Interest: Both short-term traders and long-term investors are participating, indicating a widespread belief in Bitcoin’s potential. Market Maturity: This behavior could signal a maturing market where investors are becoming more sophisticated and less reactive to short-term price fluctuations. Let’s break down the activity of each group to understand the nuances of this accumulation trend. Short-Term BTC Holders: Are They Seizing the Moment? Short-term BTC holders, often considered more speculative and reactive to market swings, are defined as those holding Bitcoin for less than 155 days. According to Glassnode data, this group has added a significant 15,000 BTC to their holdings since the beginning of April. This brings their total stash to over 3.7 million BTC. Why are short-term holders increasing their Bitcoin investment now? Several factors could be at play: Momentum Trading: The persistent strength of Bitcoin’s price could be attracting short-term traders looking to capitalize on the upward momentum. Anticipation of Further Gains: Despite the high price, short-term holders might believe there’s still room for significant upward movement, especially with institutional interest and potential ETF inflows. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): As Bitcoin remains in the spotlight and traditional finance increasingly acknowledges crypto, the fear of missing out on potential future gains could be driving some short-term buying. While short-term holder activity is often associated with volatility, their current accumulation suggests a degree of confidence in Bitcoin’s near-term prospects. However, it’s crucial to remember that this group is also more likely to react quickly to negative price action. Long-Term BTC Holders: Steadfast Believers Doubling Down on Their Crypto Strategy On the other end of the spectrum, we have long-term BTC holders. These are the steadfast believers, the ‘hodlers’ who have weathered crypto winters and understand the long-game potential of Bitcoin. Defined as those holding BTC for 155 days or more, this group’s behavior provides valuable insights into the underlying conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition. The data reveals that long-term holders have been on a consistent long term crypto strategy of accumulation. Since February, they have added a massive 400,000 BTC to their holdings, pushing their total well above 13.5 million BTC. This is a substantial increase, especially considering the already large holdings of this group. What drives this persistent accumulation from long-term holders? Store of Value Narrative: Long-term holders often view Bitcoin primarily as a store of value, a digital gold that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. Current global economic conditions may be reinforcing this belief. Decentralization and Scarcity: The fundamental properties of Bitcoin – its decentralized nature and limited supply of 21 million coins – remain powerful attractions for long-term investors seeking alternatives to traditional financial systems. Institutional Adoption: The increasing adoption of Bitcoin by institutional investors and corporations further validates the long-term investment thesis for this group. Reduced Selling Pressure: As more Bitcoin gets locked up in long-term holdings, it reduces the available supply for trading, potentially contributing to upward price pressure over time. The consistent accumulation by long-term holders is a strong signal of conviction and maturity in the Bitcoin market. It suggests that a significant portion of the Bitcoin supply is being moved into cold storage, intended for long-term holding rather than active trading. April’s Crypto Market Trends: A Deeper Dive into the Data Let’s take a closer look at the numbers to truly appreciate the scale of this crypto market trends and accumulation: Holder Category Accumulation Period BTC Accumulated Total Holdings Short-Term Holders April (Month-to-date) 15,000 BTC > 3.7 Million BTC Long-Term Holders Since February 400,000 BTC > 13.5 Million BTC These figures are not just numbers; they represent significant capital flows into Bitcoin, even at elevated prices. The combined accumulation from both short-term and long-term holders paints a picture of robust demand and underlying bullish sentiment. Is Now the Right Time for Bitcoin Investment? Actionable Insights The question on everyone’s mind is: Is now a good time for Bitcoin investment given this accumulation trend? While past performance is not indicative of future results, the current data provides some valuable insights: Positive Signal: Increased accumulation, especially by long-term holders, is generally seen as a positive signal for Bitcoin’s price trajectory. It indicates strong underlying demand and reduced selling pressure. Market Confidence: The fact that accumulation is happening at high prices suggests a high degree of confidence in Bitcoin’s future potential, even among short-term traders. Long-Term Perspective: For those considering a long term crypto strategy , the accumulation by long-term holders reinforces the narrative of Bitcoin as a viable store of value and long-term investment. However, it’s crucial to consider the risks: Market Volatility: Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile. Bitcoin prices can experience sharp corrections, even after periods of strong accumulation. Regulatory Uncertainty: Regulatory developments can significantly impact the crypto market. Changes in regulations could introduce downside pressure. Macroeconomic Factors: Broader macroeconomic conditions, such as interest rate hikes or economic downturns, can also affect Bitcoin and the entire crypto market. Actionable Insights: Due Diligence: Thoroughly research Bitcoin and the crypto market before making any investment decisions. Understand the risks involved. Diversification: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your investment portfolio across different asset classes. Long-Term View: If you believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin, consider adopting a long-term investment horizon and avoid being swayed by short-term market fluctuations. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): For those looking to accumulate Bitcoin, consider using dollar-cost averaging to mitigate the risk of buying at market peaks. Conclusion: A Confident Bitcoin Market? The April data on Bitcoin accumulation paints a compelling picture of a market brimming with confidence. Both short-term and long-term holders are actively increasing their positions, signaling a strong belief in Bitcoin’s current and future value. While the crypto market remains inherently risky and volatile, this widespread accumulation trend suggests a robust underlying demand and a potentially bullish outlook for Bitcoin. Whether this trend continues and translates into further price appreciation remains to be seen, but the current signals are undeniably positive for the leading cryptocurrency.

Despite the tariff shock, a few assets seem to defy the odds—find out which.
The meme coin arena just reminded everyone how wild things can get—and fast. MUBARAK, which exploded onto the scene riding influencer buzz, just pulled a full 180. After a massive price spike, the token plunged 40% in a single day, erasing most of its early gains and sending traders scrambling for the next big move. And where are they heading? All eyes are on Dragoin ($DDGN) —a dragon-themed meme coin that’s bringing actual firepower to the table. With real use-case mechanics, deflationary design, and a potential 100x return baked into its presale, Dragoin isn’t just surviving the meme coin chaos—it’s thriving in it. MUBARAK’s Collapse: From Hype Darling to Warning Sign It all started when Binance’s CZ reportedly scooped up 20,000 MUBARAK tokens, igniting a rally from $0.07 to $0.21 almost overnight. The crypto crowd pounced, expecting MUBARAK to be the next meme sensation. Then the floor dropped. Just 24 hours later, MUBARAK sank to $0.08, nearly back to launch levels. Billions in market cap were wiped out in hours, and the dream turned into a cautionary tale. Why? Because hype without structure just doesn’t hold up anymore. And as confidence in MUBARAK fades, Dragoin is soaking up all the momentum. Dragoin ($DDGN) Isn’t Just Hype—It’s Built for Battle (Literally) So what makes Dragoin different? Simple: it’s not just a meme—it’s a game, a strategy, and an ecosystem. At the heart of Dragoin is a Telegram-based play-to-earn (P2E) game where users hatch, train, and battle dragons. Every action earns $DDGN tokens, creating organic demand that has nothing to do with influencers or Twitter pumps. And that’s only the beginning. Dragoin’s 25-stage presale gives early buyers the ultimate advantage. The current token price? $0.0000292. The confirmed launch price? $0.002. That’s a built-in 100x opportunity—for those who get in now. Plus, any unsold tokens are permanently burned at the end of each stage, reducing supply and boosting scarcity. This isn’t just marketing—it’s economics that work in favor of the community. Deflation, Scarcity, and Momentum—Dragoin’s Winning Formula Unlike MUBARAK, Dragoin isn’t trying to ride the hype wave without a paddle. Its total supply is capped at 200 billion, and 50% is allocated to presale—but it gets even better. With the burn mechanic, Dragoin ensures that supply tightens with every phase, putting constant upward pressure on token value. The more users join the ecosystem, the more valuable every token becomes. And with features like staking rewards, referral incentives, and an immersive dragon-battle game, Dragoin doesn’t just hold attention—it earns it. Community Control Is the Secret Weapon One major reason traders are turning away from tokens like MUBARAK? Centralized control. When one wallet holds too much power, the risk of rug pulls or surprise dumps skyrockets. But not Dragoin. At the end of the presale, the team will renounce ownership of the smart contract. That means no dev wallets, no surprise moves, and no centralized manipulation. The community takes full control—just as it should in any true DeFi project. Pair that with a Q2 launch plan featuring staking, influencer-backed growth campaigns, and CEX listings in Q3, and you’ve got a clear roadmap with serious upside potential. The Meme Rotation Is Real—And Dragoin’s Leading It With meme coin season roaring back to life, timing is everything. Bitcoin remains steady above $85K, altcoin volume is surging, and meme coins are once again the hottest tickets in town. The difference this time? Only the best will survive. Dragoin checks every box: utility, scarcity, decentralization, and momentum. It’s not just another speculative gamble—it’s a fully loaded opportunity with game mechanics and burn mechanics working in harmony. If you missed Dogecoin in 2017… If you missed SHIB in 2020… This might be your shot. With $0.0000292 still on the table and $0.002 launch confirmed, Dragoin is the early-stage bet that could define this meme coin cycle. Bottom line? MUBARAK may have flared up fast—but it faded even faster. Dragoin is built to last, built to grow, and built to deliver. The next meme coin legend is already writing its opening chapter—and the smartest players are getting in before page one turns.
