Bitcoin Halving: What is it and what to expect for this 2024 ???...

There are currently more than 19,438,900 BTC in circulation, that is, 92% of the total issue, it is guaranteed that the last Bitcoin put into circulation will reach the year 2140.

Halving is “a measure to control and limit the issuance of BTC over the long term.”

What is Bitcoin halving then?:

Bitcoin halving is a phenomenon whereby the reward for mining a block of the Bitcoin network, which is also known as coin base transaction, is reduced by half. It happens every 210,000 blocks, approximately every 4 years. The next halving is scheduled to take place in April 2024.

The halving of Bitcoin is always a highly anticipated moment on the network. Mainly due to the unique nature of the public network's offer and issue program, Bitcoin halvings raise all kinds of speculation about how they will affect the Bitcoin price market and miners' long-term economic incentives.

When will the next Bitcoin halving happen???:

The next Bitcoin halving is expected to occur in April 2024. This time, the current block reward will be reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. It will be the fourth in the history of the cryptocurrency with the most volume: the first one reduced the block reward from 50 to 25 BTC in 2012, the second - from 25 to 12.5 BTC in 2016 and the third - from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC in 2020.

Understanding Bitcoin halving: how it works

To understand halving, let's first look at how miners receive their Bitcoin rewards.

First of all, it is important to note that, being a Proof-of-work network, Bitcoin depends on miners to validate transactions and include them in blocks. To do this, they must have a specialized mining hardware in operation with which to participate in a race that is a lottery to find the solution to the riddle.

With this consensus mechanism, the winning miner issues the next pending block to the network, which then validates the network of crypto nodes. Once the block is approved, it is added to the blockchain. Each correctly mined block generates a reward, which is currently 6.25 BTC. Miners receive these rewards for each block. That is the figure that determines the rate of issuance of bitcoins (BTC) on the network.

Bitcoin Halving: Why is it important?

The halving of Bitcoin is important mainly because of its repercussion. To understand its importance, we have to study the Bitcoin supply and its deflationary model.

Bitcoin has a limited supply:

The total supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million BTC and to date, they are in more than 93% of the circulation supply, which amounts to a total of 19 million BTC. On average, 144 blocks are mined per day, which translates into 900 new BTC per day. This assumes that its current inflation rate is 1.8%. This rate is much more favorable than those of most fiat currencies, which means that your bitcoins do not lose their value over time, as could happen with your dollars, euros or any other currency.

Bitcoin halving promotes deflation

Every four years, the block reward is reduced by 50%. In this way, it is guaranteed that fewer and fewer new bitcoins will be created. This process will continue until the year 2140, when the last BTC will be generated.

With these mechanisms, it is guaranteed that Bitcoin will become increasingly scarce. This is the opposite of what happens with fiat currencies, which governments and central banks can print at will. As the case of gold shows, scarcity can give an asset a much higher value. Thus, Bitcoin was designed in such a way that it was more likely to increase in value over time, rather than being subject to inflation, like fiat currencies. This is the basis of the principle of the relationship between stocks and flows.

What will Bitcoin halving do?

Since the BTC delivered to miners decreases every four years, they need the price per bitcoin to increase in order to keep their business afloat.

Interestingly, some of the selling pressure on the Bitcoin market price comes from the miners. This is because they usually sell the accumulated BTC to buy and maintain the equipment they need. This can be investments in hardware, such as ASICs, to overheads, such as electricity.

As the block reward decreases every four years in halving, it is logical that the selling pressure of miners decreases in the Bitcoin markets, which can cause the Bitcoin price to swing upwards. The models that predict the effects of halving on the Bitcoin market usually take into account the historical evolution of prices. Although it is not a guarantee for the future, so far the Bitcoin price has always responded positively to halvings.

That said, whenever something important happens, it can also cause volatility. If you stay alert and investigate on your own, no matter what, you will know what to do.

Halving de Bitcoin 2024: Qué es y que esperar para este 2024 ???...

Actualmente hay en circulación más de 19.438.900 BTC, es decir, el 92% de la emisión total, se garantiza que el último Bitcoin puesto en circulación alcance el año 2140.

El halving es “una medida para controlar y limitar la emisión de BTC a lo largo plazo”.

¿Qué es el halving de Bitcoin entonces?:

El halving de Bitcoin es un fenómeno por el que la recompensa por minar un bloque de la red de Bitcoin, lo que también se conoce como transacción de base de monedas, se reduce a la mitad. Ocurre cada 210.000 bloques, aproximadamente cada 4 años. Está previsto que el próximo halving se produzca en abril de 2024.

El halving de Bitcoin es siempre un momento muy esperado en la red. Principalmente debido a la naturaleza única del programa de oferta y emisión de la red pública, los halvings de Bitcoin suscitan todo tipo de especulaciones sobre cómo afectarán al mercado de precios de Bitcoin y a los incentivos económicos a largo plazo de los mineros.

Cuándo ocurrirá el próximo halving de Bitcoin???:

Se espera que el próximo halving de Bitcoin ocurra en abril de 2024. Esta vez, la recompensa actual por bloque se reducirá de 6,25 BTC a 3,125 BTC. Será el cuarto en la historia de la criptodivisa con más volumen: el primero redujo la recompensa por bloque de 50 a 25 BTC en 2012, el segundo, de 25 a 12,5 BTC en 2016 y el tercero, de 12,5 a 6,25 BTC en 2020.

Comprender el halving de Bitcoin: cómo funciona

Para entender el halving, veamos primero cómo reciben los mineros sus recompensas de Bitcoin.

Antes que nada, es importante destacar que, al ser una red de Prueba de trabajo, Bitcoin depende de mineros para validar las transacciones e incluirlas en bloques. Para ello, deben tener en funcionamiento un hardware de minado especializado con el que participar en una carrera que es una lotería por encontrar la solución al acertijo.

Con este mecanismo de consenso, el minero ganador emite a la red el siguiente bloque pendiente, el cual a continuación valida la red de nodos cripto. Una vez que el bloque se aprueba, se añade a la cadena de bloques. Cada bloque correctamente minado genera una recompensa, que actualmente es de 6,25 BTC. Los mineros reciben estas recompensas por cada bloque. Esa es la cifra que determina el ritmo de emisión de bitcoins (BTC) en la red.

Halving de Bitcoin: ¿por qué es importante?

El halving de Bitcoin es importante principalmente debido a su repercusión. Para comprender su importancia, tenemos que estudiar la oferta de Bitcoin y su modelo deflacionario.

Bitcoin tiene una oferta limitada:

La oferta total de Bitcoin está limitada a 21 millones de BTC y a la fecha, están en más del 93 % de la oferta de circulación, lo que supone un total de 19 millones de BTC. En promedio, se minan 144 bloques al día, lo que se traduce en 900 nuevas BTC por día. Esto supone que su tasa de inflación actual es del 1,8 %. Esta tasa es mucho más favorable que las de la mayoría de las divisas fiduciarias, lo que significa que tus bitcoins no pierden su valor con el paso del tiempo, como sí podría ocurrir con tus dólares, euros o cualquier otra moneda.

El halving de Bitcoin promueve la deflación

Cada cuatro años, la recompensa por bloque se reduce en un 50%. De esta forma, se garantiza que cada vez se creen menos bitcoins nuevas. Este proceso continuará hasta el año 2140, cuando se genere la última BTC.

Con estos mecanismos, está garantizado que Bitcoin será cada vez más escasa. Esto es lo opuesto a lo que ocurre con las divisas fiduciarias, que los gobiernos y bancos centrales pueden imprimir a su antojo. Como lo demuestra el caso del oro, la escasez puede dar a un activo un valor mucho mayor. Así pues, Bitcoin se diseñó de forma que tuviera más probabilidades de aumentar su valor con el tiempo, en lugar de verse sujeta a la inflación, como las divisas fiduciarias. Esta es la base del principio de la relación entre existencias y flujos.

¿Qué hará el halving de Bitcoin?

Dado que las BTC entregadas a los mineros disminuyen cada cuatro años, estos necesitan que el precio por bitcoin aumente para mantener a flote su negocio.

Curiosamente, parte de la presión de venta sobre el precio de mercado de Bitcoin proviene de los mineros. Esto se debe a que suelen vender las BTC acumuladas para comprar y mantener el equipamiento que necesitan. Esto puede ser inversiones en hardware, como los ASICs, hasta gastos generales, como la electricidad.

Como la recompensa por bloque disminuye cada cuatro años en el halving, lo lógico es que la presión de venta de los mineros disminuya en los mercados de Bitcoin, lo que puede hacer que el precio de Bitcoin oscile al alza. Los modelos que predicen los efectos del halving en el mercado de Bitcoin suelen atender a la evolución histórica de los precios. Aunque no es una garantía a futuro, hasta ahora el precio de Bitcoin siempre ha respondido positivamente a los halvings.

Dicho esto, siempre que ocurre algo importante, también puede causar volatilidad. Si permaneces alerta e investigas por tu cuenta, pase lo que pase, sabrás qué hacer.

2 Ethereum niches are preparing to "explode" in this bullish cycle...

Galaxy Digital analyzes various statistical graphs and comes to the conclusion that there are "vibrant" ecosystems on Ethereum.


Galaxy Digital, an American company that manages investment funds, identified two niches within the Ethereum ecosystem that are emerging as key candidates to "exploit" during the current bullish cycle.

In a recent report, in which they analyze various statistical graphs, the firm has come to the conclusion that the sector of real-world assets (RWA, for its acronym in English) tokenized in cryptocurrency networks and decentralized finance (DeFi) show signs of vitality and potential expansion.

Before continuing, it is important to clarify that “tokenized assets” are called those tokens that represent real-world assets, such as fiat currencies, stocks, government bonds and real estate.

This sector is presented as an incipient industry in the year 2024. The total capitalization of the RWA has reached all-time highs, reaching approximately 2,774 million dollars as of February 2, highlights Galaxy Digital.

The market for tokenized financial assets, including U.S. Treasuries, private credit and real estate, has reached new highs, standing at $1.614 billion on February 8.

The dominance of the products that offer yields, between Treasury bills and bonds is 58.1%. Bonds are the favorite option of investors within tokenized real-world assets, as reported by CriptoNeticias.

The following image shows the market capitalization of RWAs, which is headed by gold and precious metals, followed by US Treasury bonds, private credit, real estate, company stocks and carbon footprint compensation bonds.

Despite the fact that the market capitalization of RWA tokens reached new highs, the dominance and use of these "on-chain products has been receding." This decrease suggests a shift in preference towards crypto-assets rather than on-chain RWA, indicating a "growing demand for cryptocurrencies in general."

However, analysts such as Mandela Amoussou, believes that this trend will be reversed and the tokenized RWAs will take strength again to "alter almost all industries” and "reshape markets".

DeFi attract with airdrops and cheap commissions on Ethereum second layers

The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to attract users thanks to attractive strategies such as airdrops and the growth of Ethereum's Layer 2 (which charge much cheaper commissions than the main network).

An airdrop consists of "the free and mass distribution of a certain amount of tokens or cryptocurrencies." It is a strategy used to reward the loyalty of the community, encourage participation and increase the adoption of the platform.

The token delivery boosted the number of daily active addresses using DeFi on major Layer 1 and 2 networks, reaching a two-year high with 576,000 addresses by February 1.

Below, you can see the number of daily active addresses on the Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Solana and Base networks. Between January and February you can see the uptick of Solana (in green).

Despite the growth of Solana, the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem (which includes both the main network and the second-layer scalability solutions) is still constantly growing. Taking into account the failures of Solana that sometimes cause network outages, it would not be uncommon for Ethereum to have a significant uptick in activity, caused by those who want to operate in a more secure environment.

While Ethereum faces competition in the DeFi space, its persistent commitment to the second layers highlights the importance of efficient scalability to meet the growing demand and ensure a relevant role in the current bullish cycle.

2 Nichos de Ethereum se están preparando para "explotar" en este ciclo alcista...

Galaxy Digital analiza varios gráficos estadísticos y llega a la conclusión de que hay ecosistemas "vibrantes" en Ethereum.


Galaxy Digital, una empresa estadounidense que administra fondos de inversión, identificó dos nichos dentro del ecosistema Ethereum que están surgiendo como candidatos clave para "explotar" durante el ciclo alcista actual.

En un reciente informe, en el que analizan diversos gráficos estadísticos, la firma ha llegado a la conclusión de que el sector de activos del mundo real (RWA, por sus siglas en inglés) tokenizados en redes de criptomonedas y finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi) muestran signos de vitalidad y potencial expansión.

Antes de continuar, es importante aclarar que los "activos tokenizados" se denominan aquellos tokens que representan activos del mundo real, como monedas fiduciarias, acciones, bonos gubernamentales y bienes raíces.

Este sector se presenta como una industria incipiente en el año 2024. La capitalización total de la RWA ha alcanzado máximos históricos, alcanzando aproximadamente 2.774 millones de dólares al 2 de febrero, destaca Galaxy Digital.

El mercado de activos financieros tokenizados, incluidos los bonos del Tesoro de los EE. UU., el crédito privado y los bienes raíces, ha alcanzado nuevos máximos, situándose en 1.614 millones de dólares el 8 de febrero.

El predominio de los productos que ofrecen rendimientos, entre letras del Tesoro y bonos es del 58,1%. Los bonos son la opción favorita de los inversores dentro de los activos tokenizados del mundo real, según lo informado por CriptoNeticias.

La siguiente imagen muestra la capitalización bursátil de las RWA, encabezada por el oro y los metales preciosos, seguida de los bonos del Tesoro de EE. UU., crédito privado, bienes raíces, acciones de empresas y bonos de compensación de la huella de carbono.

A pesar de que la capitalización de mercado de los tokens RWA alcanzó nuevos máximos, el dominio y el uso de estos "productos en cadena" ha ido retrocediendo."Esta disminución sugiere un cambio en la preferencia hacia los criptoactivos en lugar de los RWA en cadena, lo que indica una" creciente demanda de criptomonedas en general."

Sin embargo, analistas como Mandela Amoussou, cree que esta tendencia se revertirá y los RWA tokenizados tomarán fuerza nuevamente para "alterar casi todas las industrias" y "remodelar los mercados".

DeFi atrae con lanzamientos aéreos y comisiones baratas en segundas capas de Ethereum

El auge de las finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi) sigue atrayendo usuarios gracias a estrategias atractivas como airdrops y el crecimiento de la capa 2 de Ethereum (que cobran comisiones mucho más baratas que la red principal).

Un airdrop consiste en "la distribución gratuita y masiva de una determinada cantidad de tokens o criptomonedas."Es una estrategia utilizada para premiar la lealtad de la comunidad, fomentar la participación y aumentar la adopción de la plataforma.

La entrega de tokens aumentó el número de direcciones activas diarias que utilizan DeFi en las principales redes de capa 1 y 2, alcanzando un máximo de dos años con 576.000 direcciones el 1 de febrero.

A continuación, puede ver el número de direcciones activas diarias en las redes Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Solana y Base. Entre enero y febrero se puede ver el repunte de Solana (en verde).

A pesar del crecimiento de Solana, el ecosistema DeFi de Ethereum (que incluye tanto la red principal como las soluciones de escalabilidad de segunda capa) sigue creciendo constantemente. Teniendo en cuenta las fallas de Solana que a veces provocan interrupciones de la red, no sería raro que Ethereum tuviera un repunte significativo en la actividad, provocado por aquellos que desean operar en un entorno más seguro.

Si bien Ethereum enfrenta competencia en el espacio DeFi, su compromiso persistente con las segundas capas resalta la importancia de una escalabilidad eficiente para satisfacer la creciente demanda y garantizar un papel relevante en el ciclo alcista actual.

Bitcoin Halving: What to expect from halving by April 2024?

The Bitcoin halving is one of the most anticipated events by cryptocurrency enthusiasts. This is the halving of the reward that miners receive for generating new blocks of transactions. This mechanism, designed by the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, aims to control the issuance of the currency and preserve its value. Every 210,000 blocks, halving happens and changes the rules of the game. What can we expect from the next halving, which is expected soon?

How can beginners learn from Bitcoin?

The halving and the price of bitcoin.

One of the most obvious effects of halving is the impact it has on the price of Bitcoin. By reducing the supply of new bitcoins, halving increases the scarcity of the currency and, therefore, its value. At least, that's the theory. In practice, the price of Bitcoin depends on many other factors, such as demand, competition, regulation, innovation, etc. However, there is no denying that halving has coincided with some of the most bullish moments in Bitcoin's history.

The first halving occurred in November 2012, when the block reward went from 50 to 25 bitcoins. A year later, the price of bitcoin reached an all-time high. The second halving was in 2016, when the reward dropped to 12.5 bitcoins. At the end of 2017, the price of Bitcoin reached almost $20,000, setting another record. The third halving was in May 2020, when the reward was reduced to 6.25 bitcoins. At the beginning of 2021, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $40,000, doubling its previous high.

Can we expect the pattern to repeat at the next halving?

It is possible, but it is not absolutely certain. The cryptocurrency market is very volatile and changing, and it is not possible to predict exactly what will happen. In addition, each halving has its own characteristics and circumstances, which can influence the behavior of investors, miners, developers and regulators. For example, the 2020 halving occurred in the midst of a global health and economic crisis, which affected both the supply and demand of Bitcoin. The 2024 halving could happen in a different context, with more competition, more adoption and more regulation.

I don't mean to deny that halving can repeat history. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. What I mean is that we should not blindly trust what happened before. Doubt is good. It makes us think, investigate, learn. To believe that the past will repeat itself is a false certainty that deceives us. Repetition of patterns may or may not be likely. But we cannot confuse the probable with the certain. The future is uncertain.

Financial education: key to harnessing the potential of Bitcoin

Halving and network security:

Another effect of halving is the impact it has on the security of the Bitcoin network. By reducing the income of miners, halving can cause some of them to stop participating in the transaction validation process. This can decrease the computing power of the network and, therefore, its resistance to attacks. However, this risk can be mitigated with other incentives, such as transaction fees, which increase when the network is congested, or the revaluation of the Bitcoin price, which compensates for the lower reward per block.

In addition, halving also has a positive effect on network security, by reducing the possibility that a single actor or group controls more than 50% of the computing power. This is because halving makes mining more difficult and expensive, and only the most efficient and committed can stay in business. Thus, halving favors the decentralization and diversity of the network, which makes it more robust and reliable.

Halving and the adoption of Bitcoin.

A third effect of halving is the impact it has on Bitcoin adoption. By reducing the issuance of new coins, halving makes Bitcoin more attractive as a store of value and medium of exchange. This can boost the interest and demand for Bitcoin by users, merchants, institutions and governments. At the same time, halving also increases the number of people who own Bitcoins and who are not miners, which can favor the diversification and inclusion of the cryptocurrency.

Halving, therefore, can be a catalyst for bitcoin to consolidate as an alternative to the traditional financial system, based on fiat money and controlled by central authorities. Bitcoin offers a more transparent, democratic, scarce and censorship-resistant form of money, which can benefit millions of people around the world. Halving is a way to remember and reinforce these advantages, and to attract more people to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Of course, narratives are powerful. They shape the way we see the world and act in it. The halving narrative tells us a story of scarcity, of value, of exchange. He makes us hope for the best. It motivates us. In other words, the halving narrative is as important as the halving itself. Because halving is not just a technical event. It is also a human event.

Does Bitcoin need Wall Street?

Halving and the future of Bitcoin:

The bitcoin halving is an event that generates a lot of expectation and speculation. However, it is not the only factor that determines the future of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a living and dynamic project, facing many challenges and opportunities, both internal and external. Halving is an important part of Bitcoin's design, but it's not the only one. So are code, community, innovation, competition, regulation, etc.

Therefore, halving should not be seen as an end, but as a means. A means to maintain the scarcity, security and adoption of Bitcoin. A means to boost the development and evolution of Bitcoin, and the entire cryptocurrency sector. A means to build a better, freer and more just future, for everyone.

Halving de Bitcoin: ¿Qué esperar del halving para abril de 2024?

El halving de Bitcoin es uno de los eventos más esperados por los entusiastas de las criptomonedas. Se trata de la reducción a la mitad de la recompensa que reciben los mineros por generar nuevos bloques de transacciones. Este mecanismo, diseñado por el misterioso creador de Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, tiene como objetivo controlar la emisión de la moneda y preservar su valor. Cada 210,000 bloques, el halving ocurre y cambia las reglas del juego. ¿Qué podemos esperar del próximo halving, que se prevé dentro de poco?

¿Cómo pueden los principiantes aprender de Bitcoin?

El halving y el precio de bitcoin.

Uno de los efectos más evidentes del halving es el impacto que tiene en el precio de Bitcoin. Al reducir la oferta de nuevos bitcoins, el halving aumenta la escasez de la moneda y, por tanto, su valor. Al menos, esa es la teoría. En la práctica, el precio de Bitcoin depende de muchos otros factores, como la demanda, la competencia, la regulación, la innovación, etc. Sin embargo, no se puede negar que el halving ha coincidido con algunos de los momentos más alcistas de la historia de Bitcoin.

El primer halving ocurrió en noviembre de 2012, cuando la recompensa por bloque pasó de 50 a 25 bitcoins. Un año después, el precio de bitcoin alcanzó un máximo histórico. El segundo halving fue en el 2016, cuando la recompensa bajó a 12.5 bitcoins. A finales de 2017, el precio de Bitcoin llegó a rozar los 20,000 dólares, marcando otro récord. El tercer halving fue en mayo del 2020, cuando la recompensa se redujo a 6.25 bitcoins. A principios de 2021, el precio de Bitcoin superó los 40,000 dólares, duplicando su máximo anterior.

¿Podemos esperar que el patrón se repita en el próximo halving? 

Es posible, pero no es absolutamente seguro. El mercado de las criptomonedas es muy volátil y cambiante, y no se puede predecir con exactitud lo que pasará. Además, cada halving tiene sus propias características y circunstancias, que pueden influir en el comportamiento de los inversores, los mineros, los desarrolladores y los reguladores. Por ejemplo, el halving de 2020 se produjo en medio de una crisis sanitaria y económica global, que afectó tanto a la oferta como a la demanda de Bitcoin. El halving de 2024 podría ocurrir en un contexto diferente, con más competencia, más adopción y más regulación.

No pretendo negar que el halving pueda repetir la historia. Tal vez lo haga, tal vez no. Lo que quiero decir es que no debemos fiarnos ciegamente de lo que ocurrió antes. La duda es buena. Nos hace pensar, investigar, aprender. Creer que el pasado se repetirá es una falsa certeza que nos engaña. La repetición de patrones puede ser probable o no. Pero no podemos confundir lo probable con lo seguro. El futuro es incierto. 

La educación financiera: clave para aprovechar el potencial de Bitcoin

El halving y la seguridad de la red:

Otro efecto del halving es el impacto que tiene en la seguridad de la red de Bitcoin. Al reducir los ingresos de los mineros, el halving puede provocar que algunos de ellos dejen de participar en el proceso de validación de las transacciones. Esto puede disminuir el poder de cómputo de la red y, por tanto, su resistencia a los ataques. Sin embargo, este riesgo se puede mitigar con otros incentivos, como las comisiones por transacción, que aumentan cuando la red está congestionada, o la revalorización del precio de Bitcoin, que compensa la menor recompensa por bloque.

Además, el halving también tiene un efecto positivo en la seguridad de la red, al reducir la posibilidad de que un solo actor o grupo controle más del 50% del poder de cómputo. Esto se debe a que el halving hace que la minería sea más difícil y costosa, y solo los más eficientes y comprometidos pueden mantenerse en el negocio. Así, el halving favorece la descentralización y la diversidad de la red, lo que la hace más robusta y confiable.

El halving y la adopción de Bitcoin.

Un tercer efecto del halving es el impacto que tiene en la adopción de Bitcoin. Al reducir la emisión de nuevas monedas, el halving hace que Bitcoin sea más atractivo como reserva de valor y medio de intercambio. Esto puede impulsar el interés y la demanda de Bitcoin por parte de los usuarios, los comerciantes, las instituciones y los gobiernos. Al mismo tiempo, el halving también aumenta el número de personas que poseen Bitcoins y que no son mineros, lo que puede favorecer la diversificación y la inclusión de la criptomoneda.

El halving, por tanto, puede ser un catalizador para que bitcoin se consolide como una alternativa al sistema financiero tradicional, basado en el dinero fiduciario y controlado por las autoridades centrales. Bitcoin ofrece una forma de dinero más transparente, democrático, escaso y resistente a la censura, que puede beneficiar a millones de personas en todo el mundo. El halving es una forma de recordar y reforzar estas ventajas, y de atraer a más personas al ecosistema de las criptomonedas.

Claro que las narrativas son poderosas. Moldean nuestra forma de ver el mundo y de actuar en él. La narrativa del halving nos cuenta una historia de escasez, de valor, de cambio. Nos hace esperar lo mejor. Nos motiva. En otras palabras, la narrativa del halving es tan importante como el halving mismo. Porque el halving no es solo un evento técnico. Es también un evento humano.

¿Bitcoin necesita de Wall Street?

El halving y el futuro de Bitcoin:

El halving de bitcoin es un evento que genera mucha expectación y especulación. Sin embargo, no es el único factor que determina el futuro de la criptomoneda. Bitcoin es un proyecto vivo y dinámico, que se enfrenta a muchos desafíos y oportunidades, tanto internos como externos. El halving es una parte importante del diseño de Bitcoin, pero no es la única. También lo son el código, la comunidad, la innovación, la competencia, la regulación, etc.

Por eso, el halving no debe ser visto como un fin, sino como un medio. Un medio para mantener la escasez, la seguridad y la adopción de Bitcoin. Un medio para impulsar el desarrollo y la evolución de Bitcoin, y de todo el sector de las criptomonedas. Un medio para construir un futuro mejor, más libre y más justo, para todos.

A team of Special Forces (USA) and Spetznas (Russia), crushes the Adrenochrome cartel in Ukraine...

As the world awaits Israel’s next move in Gaza, a battle of equal significance has been raging like an unstoppable inferno in Eastern Europe: the fight to finally demolish Ukrainian child trafficking syndicates and Adrenochrome farms, two goals inextricably linked since the criminal Biden regime began funding Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his criminal coconspirators in early 2022.

In August, Real Raw News exclusively reported on a joint U.S. Special Forces-Russian Spetznas team that joined forces, pooling their abilities, to search for missing children in Ukraine and Poland, as approved by General Eric M. Smith and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Their directive also included destroying Adrenochrome laboratories and their operators, middlemen, and honchos.

According to sources in Gen. Smith’s offices and at the FSB, Russia’s Federal Security Service, the joint unit capsized a multi-billion-dollar Adrenochrome cartel that had been operating with impunity along the Ukraine-Poland border. Sources said the unit spent the first half of October dismantling the Radchenko Cartel, which kidnapped countless children, sucked their adrenal glands dry, and, after nourishing them back to reasonable health, sold them to pedophiles and into sex slavery. Reportedly, children can be drained several times before adrenal fluid becomes inert.

The FSB said Petro Radchenko’s cartel was indirectly financed by the Biden regime and handled fifty percent of Adrenochrome exported beyond Ukraine’s borders.

“Your fake pResident Biden gives the dog Zelenskyy money. Zelenskyy gives it to the cartels. The cartels make and ship the Adrenochrome,” FSB agent Andrei Zakharov told RRN.

Principal intelligence leading to the cartel’s holdings came from electronic devices belonging to Mykola Taran, the Adrenochrome peddler Special Forces/Spetznas killed in August. Data on Taran’s hard drives led the elite commandos to an unguarded shipping warehouse in Ustyluh, Ukraine, less than a mile from the border into Poland.

On paper, the building was leased to Neptune Company Ltd., “the only domestic manufacturer of chewing gum for children with stickers and tattoos for especially young children under 15 years in Ukraine,” according to Ukraine’s Ministry of Economic Development and Trade website.

Special Forces/Spetznas surveilled the building and saw no bubblegum or tattoos, and whoever had occupied the warehouse appeared to have departed hastily, leaving behind three dozen medical-grade refrigerators, often used to chill Adrenochrome, and 6,000 grams of fentanyl, one of several synthetic opioids common in Adrenochrome formulations. They also found the decomposed remains of a man with a bullet in his head and whose identification and cell phone the killers had conveniently left at the scene. Spetznas knew him as Sergei Nicholas, a prolific Ukrainian drug trafficker with a penchant for peddling drugs to school kids. For reasons unknown, the cartel had apparently whacked its henchman.

The Special Forces-Spetznas team set explosive charges and destroyed the building.

Information on Nicholas’ phone led the team across the border into Hrubieszów, Poland, where they sought a man named Arek Ordyan and his wife, Tamara. These international Adrenochrome brokers masqueraded as itinerant civil rights activists while on hiatus from moving thousands of liters of refined Adrenochrome across Europe and into the United States. According to the FSB, the Ordyans were friends of Zelenskyy and the Radchenko Cartel’s most profitable salespeople.

Among their 13 homes in seven countries was a charming two-story house with trimmed front and rear lawns, manicured shrubbery, a vine trellis, a white picket fence, and four Kalashnikov-toting security guards walking the perimeter. The unit dealt with the guards and entered the home. They found the couple stoned out of their minds on Adrenochrome in an upstairs bedroom beside a pair of depleted infusion bags. The woman tried to speak, but her words came out slow and odd, incoherently, while Arek Ordyan displayed unnatural strength, lifting a 200-pound cement pedestal with one hand and hurling it at a Spetznas. If the pharmaceutical cocktail enhanced strength, it did not confer invulnerability to bullets. Rounds from the Spetznas’ AK-74s and Special Forces’ M4 carbines lit Arek up like a Christmas tree. He lay dead on a shag carpet saturated in blood. His wife wore an expressionless face, devoid of emotion. “It’s just a little candy,” she said. She then tried to parley, offering the unit sex for her freedom.

“You have something we want,” a Spetznas told her, “and it’s not your body.”

She glanced at her husband’s ventilated corpse. “He was just a meat sack anyway. You know the expression? I don’t even know when or where I am right now.”

“We will find out together,” the Spetznas said, and injected her with his own candy, Naxolone to counteract the Adrenochrome’s dizzying effects, and Polonium, a highly radioactive poison that can kill quickly in concentrated doses.

He showed her the syringe. “This will kill you fast. If you tell us what we need to know, and you are telling the truth, I will give you an antidote. Or you die here bleeding through every orifice,” the Spetznas said.

Real Raw News’ sources in Gen. Smith’s office and at the FSB have disputed nuances of the above interaction. FSB agent Andrei Zakharov said the U.S. Special Forcers leader opposed the poisoning, while Smith’s office said both leads agreed to poison “the bitch.”

Regardless, she talked, divulging the supposed whereabouts of Radchenko and his stockpile in Ukraine. When asked about the tens of thousands of missing and kidnapped children, she fell silent momentarily. Then she said that Rodchenko didn’t abduct children or siphon adrenochrome, that he only distributed the finished product after “others” had done the dirtiest work. The soldiers disbelieved her, but she had nothing to say except, “give me the cure!”

“Oh, there is no antidote,” she was told and was left to die.

“You know now how we do things in Russia,” the Spetznas told their American counterparts. “We do not bring the guilty to trial. It wastes time. She deserves much worse.”

Her information brought the unit back to Ukraine, where they split into two tactical teams. One penetrated the Deep State coven of Kyiv and put surveillance on Radchenko’s lavish townhouse in the wealthy Pecherskyi District, along the Dnipro River, a region magically unscathed after two years of alleged unremitting hostilities.

“We do not bomb civilians like your media says,” a Spetznas told his Special Forces associate. “We do like you. We attack only the Deep State.”

Meanwhile, the second team embarked on a lengthy trip to historic Lutsk in northwestern Ukraine, where five miles north of the city, they found an industrial park teeming with suspicious activity—8-man security teams patrolled a razor-wire fence and checked IDs of persons in vehicles wishing to pass through a single point of ingress. At least 50 cars and a dozen tractor-trailers were parked in a lot watched by surveillance cameras everywhere. A swerving gravel road outside the fence led to an uncontrolled airfield with a 5,000-foot paved runway, upon which sat an idling Antonov AN-140 turboprop. Men were loading medical coolers onto the plane. On either side of the runway, guards in technical vehicles—military jargon for a light improvised fighting vehicle, typically an open-backed civilian pickup truck or four-wheel drive vehicle, mounting a machine gun—watched the loaders and traffic entering and leaving the airstrip.

“Adrenochrome?” asked a Special Forces operator.

“Adrenochrome,” a Spetznas confirmed.

The unit, agent Zakharov told RRN, considered storming the airfield and industrial park but hesitated because they could not know whether kidnapped children were inside strapped to gurneys with needles and polyurethane tubes protruding from their necks.

“If even one child is there, they not want to risk it,” Zakharov said.

That evening, they singled out a worker, tailed him from the industrial park to his Lutsk apartment, and intercepted him at his doorstep. When a Special Forces soldier threatened to slice the man’s throat from ear to ear, he cowered and acquiesced to demands for information, saying, though, that the industrial park held no children, only 250,000 liters of refrigerated Adrenochrome and a paramilitary force large enough to wage a small war. He said if he didn’t report to work at 6:00 a.m. the following day, that force would investigate his absence.

“You tell me the truth about how many children are in there and we will let you live,” a Spetznas told him.

“No children. I swear,” the worker replied.

“If you lie, we’ll come for you. We’ll come for your family. If you have no family, then your friends. No one you know, not even your dog, if you have one, will be safe,” the Spetznas said.

“I swear,” the man repeated, “we have no children.”

The Spetznas sliced his throat from ear to ear and left him to bleed out.

Both teams notified Defense Minister Shoigu of their progress, and a decision was reached.

At 11:00 p.m. on October 10, an hour after the worker bled to death on his doorstep, Russian cruise missiles rained down on the Industrial Park and airfield, cratering the runway and razing the buildings until all that remained were piles of smoldering rubble and twisted steel.

As the missiles showered the park, the Kyiv team raided Radchenko’s villa, killing him, his mistress, two dozen armed guards, and, unfortunately, the 9-year-old boy Radchenko had been raping.

“The innocent sometime get caught in the fog of war. There’s no such thing as a perfect plan; it’s a myth,” our source in Gen. Smith’s office said. “This should put big dent in the Adrenochrome trade, but there’s so many kids unaccounted for still.”

“Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu calls the mission a big success,” Zakharov told RRN. “The Adrenochrome would’ve been exported to U.S. and Russia, to everywhere. The loss of young boy is tragic, but what life could he have after being repeatedly raped by that monster. He is with God now—the boy, not Radchenko. He is somewhere else.”

The team, sources said, is continuing the search for imprisoned children.
