Fitch Maintains Negative Watch on US Rating Despite Debt Limit Resolution Although the U.S. has averted defaulting on its debt obligations, Fitch Ratings still has concerns about the country’s ability to repay its debt. As a result, the credit rating agency has placed the U.S. “AAA” rating on negative watch, emphasizing that recent events have lowered “confidence in governance on fiscal and debt matters.” Fitch Ratings Still Has Concerns About the USFitch Ratings, one of the three largest credit rating agencies in the U.S., announced on Friday that the United States’ “AAA” credit rating remains on “negative watch” despite the recent debt limit agreement reached in Congress. The other two major rating agencies in the U.S. are Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s.

Without the agreement reached in this bill, the country could default on its debt obligations on June 5, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

More People Are Using BTC’s Lightning Network There is good news and there is even better news. The good news is that bitcoin has been doing relatively well as of late. The currency recently hit a six-month high and many investors are becoming more hopeful that the horrors of 2022 are finally being left behind for good. The even better news is that bitcoin adoption appears to be growing, as use of the Lightning Network has hit a new high. Use of the Lightning Network Is More Common Than EverThe heavy use of the Lightning Network suggests that bitcoin is now – at least on a somewhat regular basis – being viewed as a form of currency. It’s being used to purchase goods and services.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele Takes Aim at Bitcoin Detractors, Says the Ones Who Are Afraid ‘Are the World’s Powerful Elites’ It’s been over a year since El Salvador codified bitcoin as legal tender in the Latin American country, and by popping the ‘orange pill,’ the country was propelled into the international spotlight. At the end of September, the 41-year-old Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele penned an opinion editorial that takes aim at the detractors who think it was the wrong decision, those who think it was a good decision but for the wrong reasons, and opponents who “are afraid of our decision.” Nayib Bukele’s Opinion Editorial Tells People to ‘Stop Drinking the Elite’s Kool-Aid’According to Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele, if the bitcoin experiment his country is participating in succeeds, a great number of other countries worldwide will follow in the Latin American country’s footsteps. Bukele said this in a recently penned opinion editorial called “Stop Drinking the Elite’s Kool-Aid,” which was published on September 30, 2022, in English and Spanish. In the editorial, Bukele criticized three camps of detractors and he believes that most of them are simply afraid of El Salvador’s innovative decisions. “The most vocal detractors, the ones who are afraid and pressuring us to reverse our decision, are the world’s powerful elites and the people who work for or benefit from them,” Bukele explains in his article. “They used to own everything, and in a way they still do; the media, the banks, the NGOs, the international organizations, and almost all the governments and corporations in the world.”

El Salvador Buys 21 More BTC Units El Salvador in Central America has just purchased a total of 21 additional bitcoins. The country has made a habit of “buying dips” every time bitcoin’s price goes lower and this incident was no exception. El Salvador Adds to Its BTC StashThe country initially made headlines several months ago when it was announced it was working on a bitcoin-based financial agenda that would see the cryptocurrency – number one in the world – become legal tender. This meant it could be used alongside the U.S. dollar, which El Salvador had long been dependent on. Customers could use BTC to purchase everyday goods and services, and businesses were required to accept BTC as payment. The journey has been relatively rocky in many ways, with El Salvador initially seeking help from organizations like the World Bank in implementing its plans. However, the World Bank ungraciously turned the nation down, saying that bitcoin couldn’t be taken seriously due to its volatility.

US Senators Urge Facebook to Discontinue Crypto Wallet Pilot Citing ‘Insufficient’ Ability to Keep Consumers Safe A group of U.S. senators has asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to discontinue his company’s crypto wallet pilot and commit to not bringing the cryptocurrency Diem to market. “Facebook cannot be trusted to manage a payment system or digital currency when its existing ability to manage risks and keep consumers safe has proven wholly insufficient,” the lawmakers said. US Senators Urge Facebook to Stop Crypto Wallet PilotU.S. Senators Brian Schatz, Sherrod Brown, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, and Tina Smith wrote a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding the company’s cryptocurrency project Tuesday after the social media giant launched a pilot for its crypto wallet Novi. Facebook has chosen the Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange Coinbase as its custody partner for the pilot. “Novi users who can participate in the pilot can acquire pax dollar (USDP) through their Novi account, which Novi will hold on deposit with Coinbase Custody. Novi users will then be able to transfer USDP between each other instantaneously,” Coinbase explained.

​​A lot of good deals in September. Look at one more of them. As always, excellent performance from our TrendGuru AI. 💵💵💵 Closed deal FTM/USDT Open: $0.26867, 06.08.2021 Close: $1.3955, 08.09.2021 Profit: +419.41% Duration: 33 days 💵💵💵 What Is FTM? Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019. The platform’s compatibility with Ethereum means that users can purchase an ERC-20 standard FTM, which is automatically converted to native FTM once received to their wallet. Another version of FTM is available on Binance Chain using its BEP2 standard. Only the native FTM can be used on the Fantom OPERA mainnet itself. Fantom attempts to use a new scratch-built consensus mechanism to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. The mechanism, Lachesis, promises much higher capacity and two-second transaction finalization, along with improvements to security over traditional PoS algorithm-based platforms. Matching Ethereum, the project appeals to developers looking to deploy decentralized solutions. According to its official literature, its mission is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.” Its in-house PoS token, FTM, forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

How Henry Ford Envisaged Bitcoin 100 Years Ago — A Unique ‘Energy Currency’ That Could ‘Stop Wars’ 55 days from now will be the hundred-year anniversary of when the American industrialist and business magnate Henry Ford talked about a unique “energy currency” that could “stop wars.” The well known founder of the Ford Motor Company suggested that a currency could be backed by energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh) in a similar fashion to the way energy is leveraged to mine bitcoin. New York Tribune, December 4, 1921: ‘Ford Would Replace Gold With Energy Currency and Stop Wars’Close to 100 years ago on December 4, 1921, Henry Ford discussed an idea he conceived in the New York Tribune. The title of the published article was called “Ford Would Replace Gold With Energy Currency and Stop Wars.” Ford is well known for developing the assembly line technique and creating one of the first mass-produced American-built automobiles. Ford’s energy currency concept describes a digital currency much like Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin and one that is also scarce.

Twitter Unveils New Bitcoin Payment Option for Users Twitter is unveiling a new “bitcoin pay” option that will allow as many as 330 million active users to send BTC funds between each other. Twitter Will Allow Users to Exchange Bitcoin with Each OtherThe company is going to harness the power of the Lightning Network to initiate this feat. The Network has garnered a solid reputation in recent years thanks to its ability to take payments and transactions off-chain. Many smaller bitcoin transactions are bogging down the blockchain, leading to slower speeds and congestion. The Lightning Network was designed to deal with this problem and allow for small crypto trades to occur off-chain so speeds could at least remain the same for larger transactions. Many are claiming that the recent news surrounding Twitter is likely what’s allowing bitcoin to remain somewhat stable when it comes to its price. The currency fell to about $42,000 over the weekend not long after China announced that it was ending all bitcoin transactions and related activity within its borders. The country has deemed all digital currency transactions illegal, and thus traders cannot engage in virtual token trades without facing legal consequences.

Here’s What’s ‘Accidentally’ Boosting Crypto Adoption, According to US Senator Cynthia Lummis US Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming says the adoption of cryptocurrencies is being driven primarily by one thing. Senator Lummis says that a loose fiscal policy is working in favor of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and is an “undesirable way” to popularize the asset class. “Big [government] spenders are (accidentally) doing far more to accelerate the adoption of digital assets than I am. The debasement of our currency is causing a flight to digital assets like bitcoin that are a store of value.” But spending America deeper into a hole is a stupid, inflationary & altogether undesirable way to drive [people] to digital assets. I want USD to continue as the reserve currency. We need to reign in spending & support financial innovation on US soil to protect the status of [America].”

Crypto Whales Abruptly Move $175,000,000 in Ethereum and XRP – Here’s Where the Crypto Is Going Crypto whales are once again on the move as they abruptly relocate hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Ethereum and XRP. The large crypto transfers were initially detected by blockchain tracker and analytics tool Whale Alert. Whale Alert reported that on Thursday, a crypto whale sent more than $84 million worth of XRP from an unknown wallet to another unknown wallet. On the same day, a crypto whale transferred 50,000 ETH worth nearly $91 million from a wallet of unknown origins to a separate unknown wallet. The sending whale still has over $50 million worth of Ethereum left in its wallet and over $112 million worth of other ERC20 tokens. Most of the mega whale’s crypto assets are either in the form of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) or stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT). The receiving wallet sent away the 50,000 ETH almost immediately, transferring the sum to a crypto whale with over $672 million worth of altcoins. In other whale news, Whale Alert reports that a large Bitcoin holder paid 3.64 BTC worth over $100,000 to a confirmed Bitcoin scam. The scam is a fake giveaway, one of the most popular types of scams that seek to part BTC holders with their precious digital asset.
