Really great explanation of the monetary history and current situation of #Argentina I have several Argentinian friends and colleagues and I've recently visited and experienced the currency situation firsthand. It's definitely unique and interesting, but mostly very sad for everyone not savvy enough to find solutions and just see their savings and pensions dwindle before their eyes.

Seems like all the scaling upgrades mentioned in the previous roadmap are about done (segwit, lightning network, taproot, schnorr signatures...) I guess drivechain would be nice to see, but I haven't heard of any updates on that project in a while. Are there any other plans to look forward to?

We've defeated bills with essentially this same text four times before in previous years when the now disgraced anti-bitcoiner Dababneh was a California Assemblymember. But now there are others introducing the same language we defeated years ago. This bill, AB 39, was introduced by Assembly Member Grayson (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Petrie-Norris), (Principal coauthor: Senator Limón). In addition to pressure on legislators to oppose it, if you are in Grayson's district you will need to ask Grayson directly to drop and withdraw the bill. Thank you.
Bitcoiners are among the few people who make a cult out of spending as little money as possible in our current consumer culture. With memes like "Stacking Sats," "Hodl," or "BTFD" ("buy the fucking dip"), they not only intelligently overcome the emotions of the market. But, there's much more to it: It's the rebirth of a savings culture.

ZURICH, July 15 (Reuters) - A parliamentary investigation into the collapse of Credit Suisse will keep its files closed for 50 years, according to a parliamentary committee document, a level of secrecy that has triggered concern among Swiss historians. The document means the investigating commission would hand over its files to the Swiss Federal Archives after a longer gap than the usual 30 years to ensure high levels of confidentiality apply to the investigation, which has generated huge public interest. The investigation will focus on the activities of the Swiss government, financial regulator and central bank in the run up to the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS in March. The investigation is only the fifth of its kind in the country's modern history and the committee of lawmakers conducting it has sweeping powers to call on the Swiss cabinet, finance ministry and other state bodies. "After the completion of the investigation, the files shall be handed over to the Federal Archives and shall be subject to an extended protection period of 50 years," the committee said in a strategy paper outlining its communication policy. Advertisement · Scroll to continue The Swiss parliament declined to comment on Saturday after the 50-year requirement was first reported by newspaper Aargauer Zeitung. The Swiss Society for History raised concerns about the length of time, with its president Sacha Zala writing to commission head, Isabelle Chassot, a law-maker from the Swiss upper house of parliament. He also stressed that it is important Credit Suisse opens its own archives for historians.

"Ideally, it should be possible to secure and make accessible the archive after an appropriate protection period has expired and, if necessary, subject to historical research conditions," he added. The committee held its first regular meeting in Bern on Thursday, where it stressed the confidentiality of its proceedings, which could include interviews with bankers. Advertisement · Scroll to continue Possible punishments for breaching that confidentiality ranged from being barred from speaking at the committee to being barred for six months to three years in prison and fines. "All persons participating in the meetings and the questioning are subject to the duty of secrecy, not only the members of the commission, but also the interviewees themselves," it said. "Indiscretions complicate the work or damage the credibility of the commission and can have negative consequences for the Swiss financial centre," the committee added.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Christopher Pissarides believes there’s no need for the Federal Reserve to keep raising interest rates in the coming months, saying policymakers at the U.S. central bank should instead look to take a breather in the battle against inflation. His comments come shortly after data on Wednesday showed U.S. inflation fell sharply to a two-year low of 3% in June. The reading appeared to underscore the Fed’s relative success in containing price rises following a rapid increase in interest rates. The Fed has previously signaled its intent on pushing ahead with additional monetary policy tightening. “It takes time for these to have their full effect, so given that inflation is moving in the right direction, that interest rates are high, I would just wait and see what happens next,” Pissarides, a professor at the London School of Economics, told CNBC’s “Street Signs Europe” on Thursday. “I don’t expect anything to happen to make them want to increase interest rates more, but I would definitely wait this time,” he added. Pissarides was jointly awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2010 for his work on the economics of unemployment. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during a news conference following the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, at the Federal Reserve in Washington, DC, on June 14, 2023. Mandel Ngan | AFP | Getty Images The U.S. central bank held its key borrowing rate steady in a target range of 5% to 5.25% last month, but policymakers at the meeting indicated the likelihood of half a percentage point more of additional tightening before the end of 2023. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has repeatedly reinforced this message, saying at a forum in late June that he expects multiple rate hikes ahead, possibly at an aggressive pace. “Inflation is coming down, the labor market is not as tight as it was — or at least not getting tighter — so I don’t think there will be inflationary pressure coming from that direction,” Pissarides said. “On balance, I don’t think there will be a need for further hikes in the [United] States at least, Europe might be a different story but the [United] States not.” ‘We need clarity’ Pissarides acknowledged his call for a pause stood in contrast to the view of some economists and investors, but said “that’s what I would do if I were there.” Investors see a more than 92% chance of a 25-basis-point hike at the end of the Fed’s two-day policy meeting on July 26, according to the CME’s Fedwatch tool, before cuts are seen from early next year. Asked whether the primary reason the Fed may consider further raising interest rates would be to push inflation down toward 2% sooner rather than later, Pissarides replied, “It could be, but you see here we need more patience.” He added, “You were absolutely right when you said that the last bit is always more difficult than the beginning, especially when you are very high, it is easy to come down quickly.” Pissarides nevertheless said that inflation persisting at or around 3% — rather than the Fed’s target of 2% — is not likely to cause problems for the U.S. economy, adding that this is “too small a difference” in the inflation rate. “Be patient. Businesses will react better if they think that eventually we are going to get there, and they will pursue their longer-term investment plans. And we’ll get there even faster if that doesn’t do anything,” Pissarides said. “We need clarity,” he continued. “They could say we’re seeing a softer landing coming, and we’re seeing delays in going down to 2% because the last bit is always difficult, but we have done well so far and let the economy take its course. It is a free market, well-functioning economy.”
