While discussing a recent Bitcoin Core pull request [0] it was pointed out that in the original Bitcoin code, or more accurately the first commit on Github, the miner produces a coinbase scriptSig as follows: CTransaction txNew; txNew.vin.resize(1); txNew.vin[0].prevout.SetNull(); txNew.vin[0].scriptSig << nBits << ++bnExtraNonce; txNew.vout.resize(1); txNew.vout[0].scriptPubKey << key.GetPubKey() << OP_CHECKSIG; What could have been the reason of adding nBits? It’s already in the header. Yes, it ensures compliance with the minimum coinbase length rule, but he could have picked a different rule: if (vin[0].scriptSig.size() < 2 || vin[0].scriptSig.size() > 100) return error(“CTransaction::CheckTransaction() : coinbase script size”); Maybe Satoshi had some…

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity: these are the new operating environments. Your content must be invokable inside them, or no one will see it. At SMX Advanced, I broke down how to build an AI visibility engine: a system for making your net-new facts reusable by humans and agents across synthesis-first platforms. It goes beyond publishing to show how teams can deploy structured content that survives LLM compression and shows up for buyers during their purchasing decisions. It’s what we’re building with clients and inside XOFU, our LLM visibility GPT. Here’s how it works. Find the FLUQs (Friction-Inducing Latent Unasked Questions) Friction-Inducing…

Google’s John Mueller announced Google is “simplify the search results page” by removing “some features that aren’t being used very often and aren’t adding significant value to users.” This means more structured data types will be removed, but for some reason, Google did not specify exactly which ones are going away.Google did tell me features including “Today’s Doodle” box, nutrition facts, nearby offers and events, local bikeshare station status, and the TV season selector in Google Search are going away. I am surprised by the Doodles box and nutrition facts going away – also those nearby offers and events.Plus Google…

According to on-chain data, the XRP Ledger recorded a sharp influx of new addresses over a two-day span this week. Santiment reported 21,595 new wallets created in 48 hours — the biggest jump in eight months. The move came as XRP dropped to $2.06 before rallying back to about $2.33, a roughly 13% gain from that low. Related Reading Surge In Wallets Draws Attention Based on reports, the spike in wallet creation has captured market attention because it breaks a recent pattern of heavy selling. Data showed long-term holders were offloading about 260 million XRP per day during last month’s…

The question dominating crypto desks this week is whether the cycle is intact, and when the bull run will return. Two widely followed macro commentators sketched the same causal chain from public-sector cash management to crypto asset beta, arguing that the current drawdown is a liquidity story first and a sentiment story second—and that its reversal hinges on the mechanics of the US Treasury General Account (TGA), Federal Reserve balance-sheet policy, and the timing of Washington’s reopening. Crypto Market Awaits US Government Shutdown Resolution Macro analyst @plur_daddy on X summarizes the current state bluntly: “We are seeing the contraction in…

Markets ebb and flow; they go up, they come down and they move sideways. The primary ways we make sense of these movements are analyzing the price action as well as the levels in the market where price bounced higher or rotated lower, we call these levels support and resistance. Support and resistance levels form the foundation of technical analysis and they help us build a framework from which we can understand the market. For price action traders, support and resistance levels help us plan our stop loss placements and profit targets, but perhaps more importantly, these levels give us…
