Crypto speak: WTB/WTS
These are a couple of very simple abbreviations.
🔸 WTB is “want to buy”
🔸 WTS is “want to say”
Given the uncontrollable desire of crypto enthusiasts to constantly buy and sell their positions, the appearance of such abbreviations in chats and Discord servers was simply bound to happen.

📊 Bitcoin mining consumes more energy than some entire countries.
This issue is unavoidable, but we have to face it head-on: PoW blockchains—especially Bitcoin—consume enormous amounts of energy and may be harmful to the environment.
In 2021, Bitcoin used more electricity than in Kazakhstan and the Philippines.
Bitcoin’s energy consumption accounts for 0.5%–1% of the world’s total energy use.
Thankfully, few blockchain networks operate via a PoW consensus algorithm, meaning most networks use PoS, which we’ll tell you about in another post.

🎉 Welcome to a Post-Halving World 🎉
The much-anticipated fourth Bitcoin halving is now a part of history, and here's what it has brought us:
At block 840,000, the miner's reward was successfully halved from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block. This historic block was mined at 02:09 Central European Time, boasts a size of 2.33 megabytes, and contains approximately 3063 transactions.
The outcome?
The daily production of new Bitcoins is now halved to 450 BTC, and Bitcoin's inflation rate has dropped from 1.8% to just 0.85%.
🥇 In comparison, the stock of gold, Bitcoin's physical counterpart, grows by an estimated 1.6% annually, with a steady trend.
Bitcoin has thus reached a new milestone and is officially scarcer than gold.
After the halving, comes the anticipation of the next.
5️⃣ The forthcoming fifth halving is scheduled for the year 2028 at block 1,050,000, which will further reduce the block reward to 1.5625 BTC.

Are there really anonymous cryptocurrencies?
In a previous post, we told you that most blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are “pseudonymous.”
However, there are also completely private projects that have made it impossible to track transfers.
Let’s take the example of the Zcash cryptocurrency, which has advanced cryptography and the highest level of confidentiality.
Zcash uses a cryptographic protocol called zk-SNARKs. With the help of this technology, users can make completely private transactions when the sender, recipient, and cost of transactions can be hidden on the blockchain.
At the same time, privacy on Zcash is optional; users can choose between “transparent” transactions (like Bitcoin) and “hidden” transactions, providing a balance between transparency and privacy.
The world of blockchains is diverse. Research shows that most users do not strive for 100% anonymity; however, the industry does offer solutions for true cypherpunks as well.😎

The old man showed growth amid rumors of interest from institutions. Allegedly, the coin is as similar as possible to BTC and therefore a spot ETF for it may appear earlier than for Ethereum.
For now, this is all just talk, but if at least one decent investment company applies for an ETF, the price will noticeably accelerate.
Traders are already drawing charts with future growth from a modest $200 (↑90%) to an insane $10,000 (↑9,625%)

Crypto speak: Bitcoin maximalists
Bitcoin maximalists, or “maxis,” are people who believe that Bitcoin (BTC) is the only necessary cryptocurrency.
They view BTC as the truest form of digital currency that follows the original philosophy of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin maximalists often claim that the decentralization, finite supply, and security of Bitcoin make it the ultimate digital store of value — or, as many call it: “digital gold.”
They usually consider other cryptocurrencies, or “altcoins,” inferior or unnecessary, believing that Bitcoin will eventually lead in all blockchain use cases.
Do you think we need other coins besides Bitcoin?

When was Bitcoin created, and who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Bitcoin was created by a person (or a group of people) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Somehow, we still know very little about the father of Bitcoin.
In 2008, Satoshi released Bitcoin’s white paper, a document that describes and explains the principles and inner workings of a blockchain network and its native cryptocurrency. Finally, in 2009, Satoshi mined the genesis block, Bitcoin’s first-ever block.
Satoshi included a message in the inaugural block that perhaps expressed their feelings toward the global financial climate: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
For the next two years, Satoshi would be an active participant in forming a crypto community, chatting with developers and exchanging opinions and ideas.
However, in 2011, Satoshi announced he would step away from the project and hasn’t been heard from since.
Myriad theories abound the internet on who really is behind the pseudonym, but none of them carry definitive evidence to corroborate any claims. The entity that is Satoshi Nakamoto could be a programming genius or an entire team of people.
Moreover, Satoshi owns around 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, which has been left untouched this entire time

What is a retrodrop?
It’s been a popular trend these days, so let’s break it down.
A “retrodrop,” short for “retroactive airdrop,” is a retrospective distribution of tokens from the project to loyal users for their previous on-chain and off-chain activity.
More specifically:
Any early-stage crypto project is strongly interested in users who will create activity, give feedback, help test services, etc.
And sometimes, the project rewards early adopters for being active.
Usually, retros are not announced in advance (that’s why they are called retro), and you never know for sure whether the protocol will thank you for being active or not.
Sometimes, gratitude comes, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes, you will be rewarded with a very small, symbolic amount, and sometimes, these amounts are huge: In May, for example, the Arbitrum project distributed more than $1 billion of its tokens to 600,000+ wallets, with users earning an average of $1,500—with some getting $20,000–$30,000.
Not all retrodrops are so generous, but regardless, this form of “giving back to the community” has become popular recently.
