In this week's episode of Galaxy Brains, Alex Thorn talks with Sam Callahan, Senior Analyst at Swan Bitcoin, to unravel the dynamics of Bitcoin cycles and the implications of the upcoming halving. Together, they examine Bitcoin’s trading behaviors, historical price trends, and future projections. Alex also sits down with Beimnet Abebe from Galaxy Trading to discuss the latest developments in the U.S. monetary policy, the implications of the recent CPI and PPI data, and how these factors are driving a major repricing across the U.S. yield curve.

On April 20, 2024, Bitcoin will experience its fourth halving at block number 840,000, reducing the block reward from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC and significantly decreasing its annual issuance rate. This halving, a mechanism introduced by Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, combats the debasement of fiat currencies and underpins Bitcoin's transparent and predictable monetary policy, reinforcing its status as a scarce asset.    Our latest report, "Bitcoin Halving: Digital Scarcity in Action," explores the significance of the halving, its impact on Bitcoin mining, and its implications for the network. Additionally, we analyze various market perspectives—bullish, bearish, and neutral—on how the halving could affect Bitcoin's price.    Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eUgWvACr 

I had the pleasure of chatting with Nick Johnson, a long-time Ethereum developer who started working for the Ethereum Foundation in 2016. He went on to found Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a crypto UX tool that enables users to create human-readable aliases for their blockchain addresses. Since the founding of ENS in 2017, the tool has grown in adoption and popularity. It has become the most widely used standard for naming blockchain addresses. Johnson continues to work as Lead Developer on ENS and is presently focused on decentralizing the tool such that its future development is in the hands of users. To learn more about his efforts and views on how to decentralize control over crypto applications and tools like the ENS, listen to our full conversation on today's episode of the Infinite Jungle: https://lnkd.in/eRJeazQT

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the engine of Ethereum that powers smart contract code. Ethereum developers are weighing major changes to the EVM that would improve its security, usability, and upgradeability. On today's episode of Infinite Jungle, I explain the big EVM Object Format (EOF) proposal, what it is, and why it's one of the most controversial proposals being considered for inclusion in the forthcoming Prague/Electra upgrade.
