💰 US Financial Update - Thursday 5th September 2024 💰 Koikasians, it has been brought to my attention that the USA economy is on the brink going into a recession sooner than first thought, below I'll breakdown the reasons why this is a likely scenario taking place and explain exactly what is a recession; 💴 What is a Financial Recession 💴 A recession typically comes with two quarters of negative growth. We’re running out of time for that to happen in 2024 because the first half of the year saw positive economic; 💴 Two Traditional Recession Indicators 💴 🔴 The Sahm Rule, when the three month average of USA employment rate is 0.5% higher than the lowest three month average over the previous 12 months. This rule which is simple and accurate has been applicable for every USA recession since 1949; 🔴 Treasury Yied Curve Situation, for a little over two years this has been sending out worrying signals to investors where the curve has remained inverted which means that short-term bonds yields have been higher that long-term bond yields - this isn't a normal condition and typicially indicates that investors are worried about the near-term outlook; 💴 Current Forcasts 💴 💴 JP Morgan = 35% that a recession hits before the end of 2024/45% that a recession hits before the end of 2025; 💴 David Rosenberg - Economist = 85% that a recession will hit in 2024 using a new economic model based on National Bureau of Economic Research within a 12 month time-frame respectively; Rosenberg states "The full model predicted the 'soft landing' we saw in 2023, but now is saying that for 2024, recession probabilities are highly elevated" back in February 2024; ⭐️Below will be a NY Times article exploring the job growth/downfall of various sectors since the pandemic: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/08/27/business/economy/jobs-election-county.html⭐️ 🛡 Koi's Take 🛡 Whether it's going to be this year or 2025, the likelyhood of a USA recession currently is averaging at over 50% using both traditional model and the new model by NBoE which is telling me that starting to save more capital than usual in terms of personal and investments is a wise thing to do and/or start thinking about saving more, plus regarding digital assets industry, start thinking about assets which provide technology and/or a service to the masses as this sector is likely to expand within the coming years respectively, the DePin sector will remain strong, however DeFi sector not so much, please bare this in mind before making any captial investment decisions, plus if you've got any questions regarding this post, please message in the Babylon Chat Channel at: t.me/BoKois; Thank you for your time and I wish you all a smooth morning/afternoon/night whenever your located in the world 🛡

🛡 Koi Update 🛡 Koikasians, it's been 10 days since any new post, this is mainly due to a plethora of new projects coming to the industry, however quality over quantity is so important to remember especially during the current stage of this market cycle; I think this is an important stage within this cycle as more and more institutional capital comes into the industry along with the continuous angel investors and again, that's increasing and we are seeing a healthy dynamic between capital coming into the industry and new projects forming, but that doesn't mean the projects which are getting funded will gain a market share in the sector they've chosen as digital asset sectors are the most competitive they've ever been, so gaining that sustainable impact within the industry and beyond is becoming that much harder to stand out and grab the imagination of the digital assets community aswell as gain tier 1 institutional investment, this is what all projects should be aiming for; Solana guide is coming before the end of this month which has been asked for by the Koikasians which will include, wallets, dexs, sectors to focus and more; If you've got any questions related to this post please come to the Babylon chat at t.me/BoKois; Thank you for your time and I wish you all a smooth morning/afternoon/evening wherever your located in the world 🛡

💥 Keeping your Data Safe within the Digital Assets industry and beyond 💥 As technology advances, the sophistication of cyber crimes will increase, however with having a structure in place and a understanding of the processes involved will help prevent your data getting into the wrong hands; 💥 Email Management and Awareness 💥 Whether it's signing up for a newsletter or streaming site, the majority of people today only have one email address, however with the risks increasing in cyber crimes, I would advise the following; Have a set of 5 emails addresses and code them with the following: ▫️Everyday Activities e.g newsletters, streaming platforms; ▫️Financial and Personal Activities e.g Banking, Home Utilites, Health related apps and establishment's; ▫️Digital Assets Daily e.g any Project newsletter, whitepaper download *some require an email prior to downloading*, any industry bulitins/newsletters/data feeds; ▫️Digital Assets X e.g anything your unsure about giving your email too, whether that's signing upto a project and/or service/utility, this email is practically a testing ground for you to decide if the project/service/utility is legitimate and safe for you to use your Digital Assets Daily email, keeping your data safe; ▫️Backup Only e.g if your data gets breached from one of the above addresses, this is the address you turn too as your new main address for one of the categories above; 💥 Email Safety Best Practice 💥 ▫️ Be cautious of emails from unfamiliar or misleading domains; ▫️ Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unsolicited sources; ▫️ Be wary of emails that claim to offer token airdrops; ▫️ Don't open emails from strangers; ▫️ Don't send confidential information by email; ▫️ Don't open attachments you don't trust or haven't scanned; ▫️ Use a spam filter and avoid unsolicited bulk messages; ▫️ Don't give your email address to sites you don't trust; ▫️ Don't post your email address to public places online like message boards, comment boards, or even your personal website; ▫️ Keep your personal email private except from people that you really want to hear from. You can set up a second email account for registering for public websites; ▫️ Use Anti Virus Software ▫️Keep passwords secure. It's recommended to change your passwords at least every 60 days, particularly if you currently view and manage your email on a public computer. Use a mix of letters and numbers, as those passwords are harder to break and if there is a 2FA *Two Factor Authentication* option, select that route, but don't link it to your mobile device. The password should not be easy to guess. Never share your password with anyone; ▫️Keep away from Open Wifi Networks. When you're connected to a public and open WiFi network, there is increased potential for hackers to access your accounts. It's best to avoid connecting to these networks entirely. If you do connect, don't sign into any accounts with sensitive information stored, if you really need to use a public and/or open network, use a VPN for that extra layer of security; 💥 Centralised Exchanges Mitigation Measures 💥 ▫️ Enhance Personal Security Awareness: Always maintain a high level of skepticism and awareness regarding personal security to all information; ▫️ Install Extensions Only from Trusted Sources: Use extensions from the Chrome Web Store or other reputable sources. Read user reviews and permissions requests, and avoid granting unnecessary access; ▫️ Use a Secure Browsing Environment: Avoid installing extensions from unknown sources. Regularly review and remove unnecessary extensions. Use different browsers to separate browsing with plugins from financial transactions; ▫️ Regularly Monitor Account Activity: Periodically check account login activities and transaction records. Take immediate action if any suspicious activity is detected; ▫️ Always Log Out After Use: Ensure to log out after using web-based platforms. Staying logged in for convenience can pose a security risk;

▫️ Use a Hardware Wallet: Store significant assets in a hardware wallet for enhanced security; ▫️ Browser Settings and Security Tools: Use secure browser settings and extensions (such as ad blockers and privacy protection tools) to mitigate the risks of malicious extensions; ▫️ Use Security Software: Install and use security software to detect and prevent malicious extensions and other malware; ▫️ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Use 2FA for logging in and performing important actions (such as trading, placing orders, and withdrawing funds); ▫️ Session Management and Security: Implement session timeout strategies to automatically log out inactive sessions, reducing the risk of session hijacking; ▫️ Monitor IP Addresses and Geolocation: Detect and block login attempts from unusual IP addresses or locations when necessary; 💥 What is Kucoin doing to improve their platform and security measure 💥 ▫️ Security Notifications: Send instant notifications to users about important account activities, such as logins, password changes, and fund withdrawals, via email or SMS to alert them of unusual activities; ▫️ Account Freeze Option: Provide an option for users to quickly freeze their accounts in emergencies to control the extent of damage; ▫️ Abnormal Behavior Detection: Use machine learning and big data analysis to monitor user behavior, identify abnormal trading patterns and account activities, and intervene promptly; ▫️ Risk Control Alerts: Issue alerts and impose restrictions on suspicious activities, such as frequent account information changes and multiple failed login attempts; ▫️ Improve Login State Storage Security: Implement lifecycle management and background verification; ▫️ Enhance Detection of Abnormal Trading Activities: Detect and prevent abnormal trading and wash trading; If you've got any questions related to this post, please come to the Babylon chat at t.me/BoKois Thank you for your time and I wish you all a smooth morning/afternoon/night whenever your located in the world 💥

💶 $ETH ETF *Exchanged-traded Funds* Introduction and Update💶 💶 What is a $ETH ETF💶 🟢 An Ethereum ETF is a financial product designed to track the price of Ethereum, enabling investors to buy and sell shares on traditional stock exchanges. This regulated investment avenue offers a convenient way for investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market without directly managing digital assets. The ETF mirrors the performance of Ethereum, providing exposure to its value without the complexities of ownership; 🟢 The Ethereum ETF operates within the regulatory framework of traditional financial markets, providing investors with a regulated and secure channel to engage in cryptocurrency investments. This regulatory oversight enhances investor confidence and ensures compliance with established financial standards; 🟢 In addition to accessibility, Ethereum ETFs offer benefits such as regulatory oversight, ease of trading, and the ability to diversify investment portfolios. These funds are traded on major stock exchanges, providing liquidity and simplicity for investors who may be new to cryptocurrency markets; 💶 What are the main types of ETFs in digital assets industry💶 🟢 Spot ETF: Trade crypto tokens directly on behalf of investors, buying bitcoins or other digital assets and storing them; 🟢 Futures ETF: Funds track the expected price of one or more cryptocurrencies by trading futures, which are standardized agreements between two parties to exchange a specific quantity of assets on a particular day for a preset price. For instance, a bitcoin futures ETF uses futures contracts to mimic the fluctuations in the price of that currency; 💶 Why investors consider ETFs 💶 🟢 Accessibility: Trade Ethereum easily through traditional brokerage accounts on stock exchanges; 🟢 Regulation: Benefit from oversight and regulation within traditional financial markets; 🟢 Diversification: Diversify your portfolio by including a cryptocurrency asset class; 🟢 Simplicity: Avoid complexities of owning and securing actual Ethereum while gaining exposure to its value; 🟢 Liquidity: Enjoy the liquidity of ETFs, making it easier to buy and sell shares on the stock market; ⭐️ The key factor what ETFs hold is being able to diversify capital to crypto assets without storing and buying the assets yourself ⭐️ 💶 $ETH ETF Latest Update 💶 Following Bloomberg adjusting the percentage from 25% to 75% likely that Ethereum ETFs will be approved, this has resulted in a rally on the upside in the markets, however please bare warning as I see this playing out though Q2 and well into Q3 with the final deadlines for Ethereum ETFs coming in August 2023; When looking at this information, the key funds to keep a close eye on and are the most likely to get approved first: 💶 Blackrock 💶 Fidelity For the Ethereum ETFs to be approved, the SEC must approve both the 19b-4s (exchange rule changes) & S-1s (registration statements) fillings. Only after both are approved will we see the first ETH ETFs on the market, so with this news, approval for $ETH ETF fund is not a guarantee With $BTC already having a successful ETF launch with AUM *assets under management* currently being over $57BN which launched last January, with the momentum turning to Ethereum and the magnitude surrounding this potential approval in the future, this is only positive for the digital assets industry; 💶 Crypto Assets ETFs Learning Links 💶 🟢 Investopedia: https://www.investopedia.com/investing/understanding-cryptocurrency-etfs/ 🟢 Tracking Insight: https://www.trackinsight.com/en/education/guide-crypto-etfs-bitcoin-ethereum-more 🟢 Corporate Finance Insitute: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-etfs/ 🟢 Crypto ETF Database: https://etfdb.com/etfs/currency/cryptocurrency/

🍥 web3 Sector Showcase 02 Part 3 #depin 🍥 KoiKasians, you learnt about the economy of the DePin sector and how web3 is revolutionising the sharing economy model, here you'll find out why the DePin sector are the future and be introduced to DePin assets already on the market; 🍥 Why DePin Sector are the future in web3 industry 🍥 ▫️Collective Ownership Through the use of token rewards, contributors are encouraged to deploy and maintain infrastructure. DePIN's bottom-up approach means that the network is collectively owned by its participants, rather than a small group of shareholders; ▫️ Distributed Infrastructure Cost A decentralized physical infrastructure network reduces overhead and expenses by leveraging the collective resources of a network's participants; ▫️ Decentralisation A decentralised network offers a more resilient & secure infrastructure compared to traditional, centralized infrastructure networks. Building a network in a decentralised manner means that the network is less susceptible to corruption, hijacking & hacks, & other negative externalities associated with centralised control; ▫️ Open Competition & Innovation DePIN enables new levels of innovation across various sectors. By removing the barriers to entry associated with traditional infrastructure networks, DePIN encourages new entrants to compete in markets that were previously dominated by a few established players; 🍥 Examples of DePin assets on the market 🍥 ▫️$WIFI - Wifi Map https://weconnectu.io/ ▫️$HONEY - Hivemapper https://hivemapper.com/explorer ▫️$HNT - Helium Network https://www.helium.com/ ▫️$AKT - Akash Network https://akash.network/ ▫️$RNDR - Render https://render.com/ 🍥 DePin Sector Summary 🍥 The DePIN landscape's potential market size is estimated at approximately $2.2 trillion, projected to reach $3.5 trillion by 2028 based on Messari research: https://messari.io/report/state-of-depin-2023 So by going with the numbers Messari has projected, this sector as all the tools to become a leading sector in web3;

🍥 web3 Sector Showcase 02 Part 2 #depin 🍥 You all now have learnt about the what the DePin sector is and the journey behind the sector evolving, here you'll be learning about the economy and the advantages this has over centralised physical inferstructure networks; 🍥 DePin Sharing Economy Model 🍥 ▫️ Companies like Uber and Airbnb have unlocked massive amounts of value utilizing this Sharing Economy model. This model describes how Uber, Airbnb, & others leverage contributors *and their assets* to provide valuable goods & services; ▫️ The sharing economy is transformative & disruptive. It accelerates efficiency & effectiveness, e.g reducing transaction fees. Businesses benefit from the sharing economy as it increases the rate of goods consumption & recirculation, the exchange of services & the sharing of productive assets. It also stimulates market competition; 🔘 What's wrong with the centralised Sharing Economy 🔘 ▫️ The sharing economy today may pretend to be peer to peer *P2P*, but it’s the opposite. It’s highly centralized, meaning we have to trust corporations with our most intimate data, trust that they use our data in our best interests & not their own, trust that they don’t leak any data or get hacked, trust that they treat the buyers & sellers on their platforms; 🔘 How is web3 evolving the Sharing Economy 🔘 ▫️ In a decentralized sharing economy built on web3 *blockchain*, people can continue to buy & sell goods and services via apps the way they do today  without having to trust corporations who are notorious for misusing & selling our data, being hacked and unethical business practices; ▫️ Blockchain technology replaces corporations at every level by removing the need to trust a third party at every level. The essence of blockchain is that we no longer need to trust central authorities because we can trust the permanent unalterable ledger which we all have equal access to & rights over, instead. This essence is now replacing the need for trusted intermediaries in the sharing economy;

🍥 web3 Sector Showcase 02 Part 1 #depin 🍥 Welcome to the second Sector Showcase, these showcases are made for you all to gain knowledge and grasp opportunities within the sector provides. I've already shared with you #koi and #grass opportunities respectively and they fall under the DePin sector, now it's time to learn about DePin; 🍥 What is DePin 🍥 ▫️ DePIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. It's a new way to build and maintain infrastructure in the physical world; ▫️ This "Infrastructure" can be anything from WiFi hotspots in wireless networks to solar powered home batteries in energy networks. DePINs are built out in a decentralized way, by individuals and companies all over the world, for anyone to use. In return, these contributors receive financial compensation and an ownership stake in the network they're building and the services they're providing (via token incentives); ▫️ DePINs are made possible through widespread Internet connectivity and technological advancements in blockchain infrastructure and cryptography; 🍥 The Origin of the DePin Sector 🍥 ▫️ The term "DePIN" is the acronym the industry has settled on to describe this up and coming sector of crypto. We have Messari to thank for suggesting this acronym and uniting the space under one banner, but there have been a few other terms used to describe this sector in the past that are worth exploring; ▫️ In November 2021, IoTeX became the first to place a label on this up & coming sector, calling it MachineFi (a play on words combining "machine" with "DeFi" to represent the financialization of machines and their data); ▫️ On December 22, 2022, in its annual "Theses", Messari mentioned "DePIN" in research for the first time, stating that it "will be one of the most important areas of crypto investment for the next decade"; On January 19, 2023, Messari published a report devoted entirely to DePIN and the rest is history; IoTeX is the pioneers behind the DePin sector, paving the way for new projects to prosper and grow;

The Bitcoin Bubble of 2011 becomes a major event in the history of Bitcoin. While Bitcoin was created in 2008, it wasn’t until 2011 that its price really began to skyrocket. 📜 Bitcoin Blockchain Developments 📜 ▫️Liquid Launches - October 12th 2015 The cryptocurrency landscape witnessed a significant development with the launch of Liquid. Liquid, often referred to as a Bitcoin sidechain and layer, introduced a novel approach to enhancing the functionality and versatility of Bitcoin, addressing some of the limitations inherent in the Bitcoin blockchain. Liquid was designed to operate as a separate blockchain, running in parallel to the Bitcoin network; ▫️ SegWit Activation Day - August 17th 2017 SegWit is activated on August 24, 2017 at 1:57 UTC at block height 481,824, marking the launch of one of the most significant developments to the Bitcoin network aimed at addressing several long-standing issues, such as transaction malleability and scalability. For many in the Bitcoin ecosystem, SegWit's activation marked the end of the block size wars that divided the Bitcoin community, thereby cementing August 1 as Bitcoin Independence Day; Segregated Witness, often abbreviated as SegWit, was proposed as a solution to these problems. It sought to increase the capacity of the Bitcoin blockchain by separating transaction data from the digital signatures. This innovation aimed to reduce the size of transactions, allowing more of them to fit within a single block and thereby increasing the network's throughput. Additionally, SegWit brought on several security improvements, making Bitcoin transactions more resilient to certain types of attacks; ▫️ Smart Contracts and $BTC get closer to Reality - January 1st 2018 The launch of IOVlabs brought Bitcoin and smart contracts closer to each other. IOVlabs was created to bring smart contract capabilities to the Bitcoin network through the Rootstock platform. Rootstock, often referred to as "Smart Bitcoin" or "RSK," is a Turing-complete smart contract platform that is merge-mined with Bitcoin. This means that Bitcoin miners can secure both networks simultaneously, enhancing security while enabling smart contract execution on Bitcoin's blockchain. IOVlabs served as the development and operational arm of Rootstock, driving its growth and adoption; ▫️ Stacks Bitcoin Layer Launches - January 2021 The Stacks Bitcoin layer launches to enable smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and other additional use cases for Bitcoin. The Stacks project was originally known as Blockstack and co-created by Trust Machines CEO Muneeb Ali and Ryan Shea. The layer features its own programming language, Clarity, and consensus mechanism known as Proof-of-Transfer (PoX). Together, they allow for the execution of smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain; ▫️ Taproot Upgrade largest $BTC advancements since 2017 - November 14th 2021 The Taproot upgrade activation is successfully achieved, marking the largest advancement to the Bitcoin core following 2017’s SegWit activation; It was designed to enhance the privacy, security, and flexibility of Bitcoin transactions by introducing several important features. The most notable of these features was the ability to combine multiple transaction scripts into one, enhancing privacy and efficiency for bitcoin transactions. Additionally, Shnorr signatures and smart contract functionality improvements were also introduced; ▫️ The BRC-20 Token standard - March 2023 The BRC-20 token standard was created in March of 2023 by a pseudonymous on-chain analyst named Domo @domdata on X. Domo was playing with creating fungibility on Bitcoin using Ordinals inscriptions, a concept that then took off as the popularity of Bitcoin Ordinals grew. By early May 2023, what Domo initially emphasized was a "fun experiment" on Twitter ballooned to $991 million in market cap, effectively putting BRC-20 tokens on the map;

📜 The History of Bitcoin $BTC 📜 We are 3 days off the next $BTC Halvening, an event which happens every 4 years, however without knowing the events which came before this, understanding the whole process and the magnitude of the Halvening, it'll be hard to truly appreciate the journey Bitcoin has been on since it's inception in 2009; 📜 The Birth of Bitcoin 📜 💰 Bitcoin was first introduced to the world in 2008. The goal was to create a decentralized digital currency free from the control of governments and central banks. On October 31st 2008, the Bitcoin whitepaper is released by an unknown individual or group of individuals going by the pseudonym 'Satoshi Nakamoto', The whitepaper, titled 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' was also published on the Cryptography Mailing List. The whitepaper described a decentralized digital currency system which it proposed the use of a blockchain, a public ledger that would record all transactions in a secure and transparent manner. The Bitcoin network would rely on a network of computers to validate transactions and maintain the integrity of the blockchain. 💰 Unlike conventional currencies, Bitcoin functions on a peer-to-peer network, which means that transactions happen directly between users without a middleman such as a bank. This decentralization is a defining feature of Bitcoin, which differentiates it from traditional currencies. 💰 Bitcoin was officially launched on Jan. 3, 2009, when the first block of transactions, known as the genesis block, was mined. 💰Bitcoin’s supply is limited to a maximum of 21 million coins. This means no additional coins will be generated or created after reaching the 21 million limit. Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the concept of limiting the quantity of crypto and making it more valuable to combat inflation. 📜 Bitcoin Early Years 📜 ▫️ 1st Ever Recorded Price of $BTC - March 17th 2010 March 17, 2010 was the first-ever recorded price of bitcoin at a value of $0.003 on the now-defunct bitcoinmarket.com. This event’s implications while seemingly minor at the time would contribute to the gradual emergence of bitcoin as a recognized and valued asset; ▫️Bitcoin Pizza Day - May 22nd 2010 The first known commercial transaction takes place using Bitcoin when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two large Papa John’s pizzas, which were delivered to him in Jacksonville, Florida; At the time of the transaction, the value of the 10,000 bitcoins was only a few dollars. However, the transaction has become infamous as an example of just how much the cryptocurrency has appreciated in value; ▫️ Mt Gox Founded - July 18th 2010 On July 18, 2010, Mt. Gox was founded by programmer Jed McCaleb. Initially, it got its unlikely start as a platform for trading virtual cards in the game Magic: The Gathering, then evolved into a pioneer Bitcoin exchange. Its history was marred by chaos, hacks, and scandals, ultimately culminating in its downfall and the ongoing legal proceedings involving its ex-owner, Mark Karpelès; Mt. Gox, originally mtgox.com, was a platform that exchanged fiat currency for Bitcoin. It was one of the first Bitcoin exchanges, signaling the growing interest in cryptocurrencies as a form of digital value; ▫️Current $BTC Logo Released - November 1st 2010 Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, initially offered two earlier versions of the Bitcoin logo, the first at Bitcoin’s inception, and then an updated version the next year. However, the infamous Bitcoin logo that we have come to associate with the cryptocurrency was created by an unknown artist using the handle “Bitboy"; The new logo effectively took Satoshi’s earlier creations and improved upon them to create a distinct look for the Bitcoin blockchain. “Bitboy” rendered a white and slanted “B” on top of a bright orange background in a design that reminded many of payment companies, like Mastercard; ▫️1st $BTC Bubble - June 2021
