With faster blockchains now enabling speeds of over 100,000 TPS and nearly instantaneous finality, Bitcoin’s potential is limited by its antiquated TPS. As flexible blockchains continue to advance in cryptocurrency, Bitcoin’s centralized governance stifles innovation and puts it at risk. BTC faces security threats as fees fall short of funding; forced inflation or “death spiral” risks could impact investor trust. Bitcoin (BTC) is increasingly seen as outdated, with its technological and economic flaws sparking concern across the crypto industry. BTC’s limited transaction speed, which maxes out at a modest 7-13 transactions per second (TPS), falls far behind the capabilities of…

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and other Wall Street banks continued buying shares of the spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds on behalf of clients.

The current generation of virtual private networks (VPNs) has a problem, according to Nym CEO Harry Halpin. “They basically say, ‘Trust us, we’re not going to log or copy your data’,” he said onstage at Web Summit, “but actually they can. You just have to trust them.” Independent audits can be faked, he added, or are “not particularly trustworthy themselves.” “Two or three large VPN companies actually run most user-facing VPNs,” he explained, adding that because they’re centralized, “you’re not really making your connection private in any meaningful sense—you’re just trusting some other company with all of your network data.”…

We can’t transcend politics ‘because we have bitcoin now, bro’. Sometimes I see this kind of t-shirt or sentiment being shared online, but it’s simply misguided. Just to prove I’m not strawmanning, here’s another similar example: If you just mean “I’m not interested in politics” or you don’t like one particular party’s politics, that’s one thing, but it’s still not sufficient to secure your own liberty.
