That uncertainty would rattle Bitcoin and the wider crypto market. Traders are especially focused on the jobs report. It’s supposed to drop this Friday, but if there’s no funding, it won’t. That’s a problem, because employment data…

The banking forecasts followed a weak August jobs report that saw only 22,000 jobs added for the month, versus expectations of about 75,000. Analysts at Bank of America, a banking and financial services company, reversed their long-held stance of no rate cuts in 2025 and are now projecting two 25 basis point (BPS) cuts, one in September and another in December, according to Bloomberg.

Trustlessness In Blockchain Still Can’t Be Trusted. But It Can Be Improved

BlockchainOct 1

When we talk about trustless systems, we’re implying some kind application that doesn’t require users to trust it. The idea is that it just works, accurately and fairly, every single time, without ever cheating users. They’re designed in such a way that there’s no need for users to trust any single human or entity. Trustless systems are an alternative to the centralized applications in use today, which are totally reliant on trust. Take your mobile banking application, for example. No doubt, you’re fairly confident that nobody is going to steal your life savings, because you trust that the bank itself…
