Happy Easter, peeps! ???????????????? This week’s Friday edition of The Wise Guy newsletter is packed with egg-citing stories ???????? that will have you hopping with excitement!
- ???? BRICS nations exploring a unified CBDC
- ???? Was Steve Jobs the real Satoshi Nakamoto?
- ???? Binance says no to Justin Sun’s Huobi stake sale offer
- ???? Dogecoin enthusiasts panic as Twitter Birdie disappears!
BRICS Nations Challenge the Dollar
unified CBDC ???????? from the BRICS nations has the potential to impact the global economy and allow these nations to bypass traditional payment systems, such as SWIFT or correspondent banking.
BRICS: Brazil+Russia+India+China+South Africa
This could be a significant shift in the world of finance, as it would challenge the supremacy of the US dollar and potentially tilt the balance of power in the global economy. ????????
Yo, here’s the deal on CBDCs:
???? CBDC stands for Central Bank Digital Currency, which basically refers to a form of digital money issued by a central bank.
???? Designed to be practical and efficient, offering features like fast transaction times, low costs, and greater transparency while also addressing issues concerning privacy and fraud prevention.
???? Used as a substitute for physical cash, and they can also be used for cross-border payments and peer-to-peer transactions.
Did Steve Jobs Create Bitcoin?
Apple’s MacOs comes with something extra special? That’s right, a hidden copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper! ????????????
Some say that an Apple employee who’s a big fan of BTC added it as an Easter egg. But, here’s a real wild conspiracy theory: what if Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, was actually Satoshi Nakamoto? ????
It’s true that both Jobs and Nakamoto have strong backgrounds in technology, and they both have a thing for Japanese culture. Jobs even visited Kyoto and the Soto School of Zen Buddhism. He also took his kids there! Now, this may sound suspicious.
Now before you start packing your bags for a trip down conspiracy lane, let’s get real for a minute. Jobs passed away in 2011, 10 months after Satoshi’s disappearance from the online world. While it’s possible that Jobs worked on Bitcoin until his illness got worse, it’s still just speculation.????
????But let’s keep in mind that Apple was just on the verge of revolutionizing the mobile phone world with the iPhone during Bitcoin’s creation. So, the chances of Jobs juggling both the iPhone and Bitcoin at the same time were slim. And, according to another Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Jobs wasn’t an expert coder.
Twitter’s Birdie Logo Returns, Crypto Twitter Upset
It looks like the Dogecoin enthusiasts ???? experienced a bit of a panic attack recently as Twitter temporarily replaced its iconic blue-bird logo with the beloved Shiba-Inu dog meme associated with the cryptocurrency.
And wouldn’t you know it, as soon as Twitter’s logo went back to the bird, Dogecoin plummeted by as much as 9%. In fact, many Crypto Twitter users took to the platform to express their displeasure ????????????, lamenting the loss of the Shiba-Inu dog and its cute little face plastered on the Twitter page. Some even went so far as to declare a boycott of Twitter until the dog meme was restored to its rightful place!
Binance Rejects Justin Sun Offer – Why?
???? Well, well, well, looks like Binance ain’t playing with Justin Sun and his toys anymore. Apparently, Sun tried to offer his stake in Huobi to Binance, but they weren’t down for the ride. Rumor has it that the reason for saying “no thanks” was because of Huobi’s questionable ties to mainland China. I guess Binance didn’t want to catch any “China Syndrome” in the process. ????♀️
What’s the hoot with CZ and Sun? ????????
???? Justin Sun and Binance are both facing an SEC lawsuit for the unregistered offering and sale of “crypto asset securities”.
???? Binance may not want to get involved in any legal battle or controversy with Justin Sun and his companies.
???? Sun’s removal from his post as Ambassador of Grenada to the World Trade Organization may have made Binance hesitant to do business with him.
????♂️ Binance may want to distance itself from any kind of controversy and focus on maintaining its reputation as a transparent and trustworthy exchange.
Market Watch ft. Wise Guy
Including the rise of some major players like FTX, Voyager, Celsius, LUNA, and 3AC, we could see a continued climb from $15,000 to $28,500 to $40,000-$50,000 over the coming months.
BTC Target: $15,000 → $28,500 → $40,000 → $50,000
Support levels: ↓ $27,600
Resistance level: ↑ $28,600
But hold up, fam. Before BTC can get there, it needs to search for some lows. That means altcoins like Ethereum might be a better bet for now. They’re looking a bit stronger as Bitcoin tries to find its footing.
Honorable Mentions
- ????The head of the European Central Bank recently revealed that CBDCs could be used for “control” during times of financial instability.
- ????MicroStrategy is on a buying spree! The company just acquired another 1,045 bitcoins, bringing their total crypto holdings to a whopping 140,000.
- ???? ZkSync has come up with a solution to the smart contract issue that left $1.7 million stuck. Cue a sigh of relief from anyone affected by the problem.
