Liberland President Vít Jedlička has named Justin Sun, TRON founder and former Grenadian ambassador to the WTO, as acting Prime Minister. The announcement, follows Liberland’s first-ever congressional elections, conducted via an algorithmic blockchain-based voting system—a bold experiment in transparency and decentralized democracy. Liberland, a self-declared microstate located on a disputed territory between Croatia and Serbia, has adopted blockchain as the backbone of its governance. Its recent elections, pitched as a foolproof model for democracy, underscore this commitment. While no country formally recognizes Liberland as a state, its leadership remains resolute in demonstrating its viability. The elections also saw influencer Evan…

I have to call BS on this claim that Michael Saylor is now Bitcoin’s overlord and can single-handedly decide its fate. That’s just ridiculous. During some drama about whether MicroStrategy’s valuation makes sense, Vinny Lingham declared Saylor is the second most powerful person in Bitcoin after Satoshi Nakamoto. He argued Saylor can dictate terms by threatening to dump MicroStrategy’s giant bitcoin stash if he doesn’t get his way. While questioning MicroStrategy is fair game, the notion Saylor controls Bitcoin’s destiny is intellectually dishonest drama-baiting. Vinny knows better. Bitcoin is decentralized, permissionless, and based on consensus. No single entity, not even…

Bitcoin’s (BTC) incredible rally hit a rough patch after November 22, as investors appear to have lost their patience waiting for the cryptocurrency to fully close the final $2,000 gap to $100,000. Despite this decline to BTC price today of $93,721, the sentiment remains bullish.Once put in context, the correction appears minuscule as the coin remains 36.70% green in the 30-day chart. Still, the question of what will happen to Bitcoin through the remainder of 2024 and by the first day of 2025 remains open, and the Bitcoin Rainbow chart may offer some insights into things to come. Bitcoin Rainbow…
