Bitcoin Mining Could Be a $20 Billion Market With US Hardware Push: Bernstein
U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for the country to dominate global Bitcoin production could lead to a booming business opportunity alongside more American-made hardware, according to analysts at investment firm AllianceBernstein. “In view of U.S. election season and Trump’s recent push to make Bitcoin in America, we believe this could be an important tailwind for the mining sector,” Bernstein wrote.

Why the US’s $35 Trillion National Debt is ‘Good for Bitcoin’
The U.S. federal government’s outstanding borrowing has now reached a staggering $35 trillion. In the past and among other nations, rising national debt has led to increased inflationary pressures and eroded confidence in traditional fiat currencies. Yet unlike other times in history, sovereign nations and investors alike have an opportunity to buy crypto as a hedge against those pressures, Rich Rosenblum, co-founder of trading firm GSR, told Decrypt. “The fact that much of the world has balloo…

There’s a Problem With Senator Lummis’ Bitcoin Reserve Plan, Cato Institute Expert Says
Self-proclaimed “Bitcoin senator” Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) announced legislation on Saturday that aims to build a government Bitcoin reserve of 1 million BTC within the next five years. But can it be done? According to one expert, the actual plan to do so is nothing like Lummis suggested on stage at Bitcoin 2024, where she said the coins would be paid for with “excess reserves” from the nation’s twelve Federal Reserve banks. “The plan is much less ambitious than that,” George Selgin, director emeri…

Bitcoin Above $69,000 as Inflation Shows Signs of Easing Ahead of Fed Meeting

The Commerce Department reported on Friday that consumer spending slowed slightly last month. Easing price pressures and a cooling labor market may bolster Fed officials’ confidence that inflation is trending toward the central bank’s 2% target. Data showed that the price index of personal…
