    🔐 What is a Crypto Wallet? It's the interface that enables you to send, receive, and securely manage your digital assets. On Uphold Academy, we break down the key differences: Custodial Wallets: Managed by third parties, offering ease of use and recovery options but with less control over your assets. Non-Custodial Wallets: You hold full control over your private keys, providing maximum security but with increased responsibility. Hot vs. Cold Wallets: Hot wallets are connected to the internet, offering convenience for frequent transactions. Cold wallets are offline, providing higher security for long-term storage. For those seeking the best of both worlds, the Uphold Vault offers a hybrid solution, blending the security of self-custody with the convenience of custodial wallets.

    Every single crypto narrative has been proven wrong this year. From yesterday’s digital weekly “f life is a rollercoaster, then Bitcoin is the Kingda Ka, the world’s largest. On Monday, over $250 million rushed into Bitcoin ETFs in expectation of a continued recovery, on Tuesday, Bitcoin plunged 6000 points, wiping out all of last week's gains. At the time of writing, we are again under 60k, and the charts look terrible once more. Seized crypto is being sold by the US, miners are dumping BTC, and perhaps some early investors are cashing out. For an asset that is supposed to be reaching $1 million dollars, a sobering performance, especially considering the macroeconomic news and expected rate cuts. The mood in the market is somber after this week’s fall. It’s not just retail that struggles to regain confidence, even institutional investors are more hesitant after every single narrative since the introduction of ETFs has been proven false. Altcoins suffered alongside Bitcoin, and retail investors got burned once again, having already lost confidence in the market. Now, the pundits are predicting another round of selling down to the 30k level, which makes even the hardiest orange fan a bit queasy on this gigantic rollercoaster. Curiously enough, in the doom and gloom of this week, we remain firmly optimistic. It will take more time to shake out the fickle players, but we are still seeing more new buys than ever before, and we are seeing very positive developments across the space. For many who are getting into crypto for the first time through ETFs now increasingly being made available through retail channels, this may be a good buying opportunity before we’ll see what everyone is still expecting: the big run up, way past 100k – at which point we must hope we are not actually on a rollercoaster and go down again immediately. Good news and bad news in one delivered a solo Bitcoin miner who mined block 858978 this week and received a 3.27 BTC reward for their efforts. Good news, because individuals still can beat the odds and mine blocks; bad news because the fact that this is news is a sign of how much Bitcoin is now dominated by the large miners. If you need to report such a story, then Bitcoin has failed as “the people’s coin.” The story of the week were of course NVIDIA numbers, which were good, but not good enough. The stock fell in the after market and dragged most AI-related crypto assets with it. After the excessive hype of the first half of the year, a bit of respite is in order. Despite the setback, news from the AI camp continues to come in at record speed, all AI platforms have announced new features and innovations for Q3/Q4.

    Always a pleasure to talk to Tony Edwards on the Thinking Crypto podcast… I’d say may rather than will rally.

    💡 What is the Double Spend Problem? 💸 Double spending occurs when the same digital currency is used more than once. In traditional banking systems, centralized entities like banks track transactions in real-time, ensuring that funds aren't spent twice. But in decentralized digital currencies, how is this prevented? 🔗 Blockchain technology—the backbone of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—solves this issue by maintaining a public, immutable ledger where transactions are verified through a consensus mechanism. This ensures transparency and security without the need for a central authority. ⛓️ Proof of Work (PoW) is one of the key methods cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use to prevent double spending. Transactions are validated by miners who solve complex cryptographic puzzles, securing the network and preventing malicious actors from altering transaction history. 🌐 The decentralized nature of blockchain offers a new way to address financial security challenges, reducing reliance on centralized systems and opening up new possibilities for secure digital transactions. As digital currencies grow, understanding the double spend problem and how blockchain addresses it remains crucial for ensuring trust in decentralized financial systems. 🔍 Want to dive deeper into blockchain and cryptocurrency topics?
