Bitcoin will perform like Nvidia and record several major corrections on its path to new all-time highs, analyst Jordi Visser said. The path to new Bitcoin (BTC) all-time highs will continue to feature major corrections of 20% or more, including possible corrections during Q4, despite it typically being a good quarter for crypto asset prices, according to market analyst Jordi Visser. Visser said Bitcoin is part of the AI trade and compared BTC to Nvidia, a high-performance computer chip manufacturer that has become the world’s most valuable publicly traded company and the first public company to hit a $4 trillion valuation.

Bitcoin (BTC), a supply-capped, decentralized, neutral money, can help reduce warfare by eliminating the currency printing that governments use to finance war through the hidden tax of inflation, according to author Adam Livingston. Livingston pointed to the World Wars of the 20th century, which saw the rise of central banking and the erosion of the gold standard, as the prime example of how fiat money fuels endless wars that the public would not have supported if a transparent wartime tax had been levied. He also cited the collapse of the paper currency under the Song dynasty in 13th-century China and the hyperinflation of Assignats in 18th-century France as examples of how governments financed war beyond their means and debased their currencies. Livingston said: Read more -

Web3 launchpads have become cash-grab funnels funding ideas without substance. The industry needs platforms that build better, not just raise more. Opinion by: Tim Hafner, founder and CEO of OpenServ Launchpads were introduced to give Web3 projects access to early investors.
