Bitcoin rejoined the crypto rally on Friday amid reports that President-elect Donald Trump could release an executive order making crypto a national priority as soon as day 1 of his new term.

The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by more than 4% at $104,780.10, according to Coin Metrics. The broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, was up another 2%, after a 4% increase Thursday.

Shares of exchange operators Coinbase and Robinhood advanced about 5% and 4%, respectively. Trading activity in small cap cryptocurrencies benefits trading platforms. Appetite for smaller cap, higher risk coins has grown ahead of Trump’s inauguration, with litecoin surging 27% in the past two days.

The moves follow a Bloomberg report late Thursday that Trump could create the crypto advisory council he previously promised, giving the industry a voice within his administration. A bitcoin stockpile is part of discussions about a possible executive order that would cover several areas of crypto policy, the New York Times reported the same day.

Bitcoin trades above $100,000 ahead of Trump’s inauguration

Newly heightened expectations come after warnings from Wall Street this month that although having a pro-crypto Congress and White House in 2025 is sure to be supportive for innovation in the industry and asset class, it could take a while before the market feels the impact.

Coins and crypto projects outside of bitcoin arguably stand to gain more from clear and supportive policy and regulation, as they’ve been more of a target of SEC lawsuits and alleged banking discrimination under the Biden administration. Some investors say bitcoin could see a rocket ship rally, however, if a national stockpile or reserve is established.

Bitcoin has been trading closely with stocks so far this year. It’s been in consolidation mode since late December, when Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell sounded an inflation alarm that subsided this week after two cool December inflation reports. Bitcoin ETFs have seen more than $1 billion in inflows in the past two days.

Investors expect any announcements from the incoming administration next week to send bitcoin higher – potentially to a new record.

“The new administration and a new SEC chairman opens the door for new opportunity in cryptocurrency innovation,” JPMorgan analyst Kenneth Worthington said in a note this week. However, he added, “we don’t see a next wave of cryptocurrency [exchange-traded product] launches as being meaningful for the crypto ecosystem given much smaller market capitalization of other tokens and far lower investor interest.”

This is a viewpoint editorial by Ross Ulbricht, the creator of pioneering Bitcoin market Silk Road, who is presently serving a double life sentence plus 40 years in federal jail. Much more is being stated about Bitcoin nowadays than when I was put in jail. On October 1, 2022, I began my tenth year secured this cage. Now, as I put pen to page, the afternoon sun beams through the bars of my window and the whispering of the other detainees snakes under my cell door. Over the years I have actually heard individuals state all examples about Bitcoin. I have actually heard that "Bitcoin is dead" which "Bitcoin is the future." I have actually heard that "Bitcoin is bad for the environment" which "Bitcoin will set us complimentary." I've discovered that Bitcoin does not appear to care what we state about it. Not the exchange, naturally-- that's driven by the impulses of individuals like all monetary markets. I'm speaking about Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin does not have ears. What we state does not alter it. Disallowing a society-level disaster, Bitcoin will keep including a block every 10 minutes, permanently. That's the entire point. Through all the ups and downs given that Bitcoin's birth more than 13 years back, regardless of the buzz, in spite of the cynics, regardless of whatever, Bitcoin has actually never ever failed. I can't state the very same for myself, however, I am simply human. A number of years after Bitcoin got going, I made the greatest error of my life: I made Silk Road (a confidential online market). Naturally, at the time, I didn't understand it was an error. I believed it was a fantastic concept. I believed I was putting Bitcoin to great usage and offering individuals personal privacy and flexibility. When controlled substances were noted, I believed that was okay too, since I thought drugs ought to be legislated. Nevermind that they were forbidden and I was running the risk of whatever I loved. A number of years later on, I was included jail for drug trafficking and offered 2 life sentences without parole, plus 40 years. I was incorrectly depicted in the media as a violent drug kingpin. The story of Silk Road was decreased to a polices and burglars cliché. I more than failed, I struck rock bottom. I've been here since. Bitcoin never ever failed. Through the fluctuate of Silk Road, through the ruthless years of my imprisonment, through competitors and disaster, Bitcoin keeps going, one block at a time, like clockwork. As Bitcoin has actually progressed, I have actually struggled to rejoin the world beyond my cage. Every year, my household, pals, fans and I have actually been pursuing my liberty, so I can have a 2nd possibility at life. I am worn out. I am stressed out, I desire this problem to end, and I do not understand if it ever will, no matter how hard we operate at it. Before I pertained to jail, I understood absolutely nothing of controlled substances. Ever since, I have actually been secured 8-by-10- foot cells with long-lasting addicts for months on end. I've heard their stories and seen what's ended up being of them. I have actually dealt with the reality that, by making Silk Road, I contributed in harmful lots of lives. I do not even consider drug war politics any longer. I feel in one's bones I might never ever promote substance abuse once again, whether legal or prohibited. How could I, if I would never ever touch them myself? How could I, if I 'd be frightened to find out that somebody I enjoyed ended up being addicted? All I would consider is the males I've familiarized whose lives have actually been destroyed. I've been through lots of stages throughout my jail time: despondence, worry, regret, approval, monotony, feverish desperation, and all the while Bitcoin keeps going. Today, I take motivation from Bitcoin. I will keep going, day by day, simply taking the next action over and over. I will keep including the next block. Either I'll restore my liberty or, at the end of my life, I can recall and state, "At least I attempted.

New Post has been published on https://primorcoin.com/was-the-ethereum-merge-a-mistake/

Was the Ethereum Merge a Mistake?

“What do you think of the merge?” I recently innocently asked William “Wills” de Vogelaere, co-founder of Spankchain and probably half a dozen other protocols in the grisly underworld of Ethereum.

I was, of course, referring to the long-awaited software upgrade which booted Ethereum’s miners and replaced them with a cohort of environmentally friendly stakeholders on September 15. 

“You mean Ethereum’s delusion?” de Vogelaere rejoined bitterly. 

“Oho!” I thought. This could get juicy. It turned out de Vogelaere was voicing an opinion rarely broadcast in public: that the merge was a mistake. Or, if not an italicized mistake, some kind of irrelevant distraction. 

“It didn’t add anything of value really other than the environmental factor,” he fulminated. 

In de Vogelaere’s view, the whole enterprise has been a naive capitulation. The influential people fretting about Ethereum’s enormous carbon footprint, he said, were only ever exploiting environmentalist fears for their own cynical ends. “No one actually gives a shit if something’s green, so long as it works,” he said. “Corporations don’t fucking care as long as they can be perceived to care.” 

Maronn’! Admittedly, it’s not hard to see why people like de Vogelaere are in a bad mood—since the merge unfolded, the price of ETH has tanked. Bitcoin supporters are ridiculing the change. Dark mutterings about Ethereum now being a “security” have raised the hackles of even the most old-school of Ethereum connoisseurs—and even driven some to the embrace of a long-ago spurned band of fanatical Ethereum militants. (We’ll get to that.) 

As de Vogalaere told me, the notion that public opinion of Ethereum would improve in the wake of the merge may have proven to be a canard. The regulators, he said, will hardly change their tune now this one environmental grievance has been eliminated, especially given that newfound willingness to brand it a security. 

And yes, yes, the merge was a fabulous display of technical competence. Merging Ethereum in real-time was the equivalent of switching up a car’s engine as it booms full-throttle down a freeway, so we’re told. It’s groundbreaking from an R&D perspective—but so was the atom bomb.

Even so, de Vogelaere believes, the supposed technical improvements of the merge are overhyped. It was supposed to facilitate various upgrades that would introduce more efficiencies into the network. But de Vogelaere believes these solutions have long existed anyway, in the form of sidechains—appendages to the flagship network that use different validation methods—such as Polygon. Only Ethereum’s computing environment, the “Virtual Machine,” has any real value, he argued—and that isn’t affected in any meaningful way by the shift to the staking model. 

He also (good heavens!) pointed out that those who don’t have the minimum amount to stake independently—32 ETH, around $42,500 dollars and dropping at time of writing—have to stake via centralized exchanges like Coinbase. That means putting the majority of Ethereum on a corporate exchange with a single point of failure. 

So, we’ve established that Ethereum’s price is now in the shitter and the regulators are on the move. But is de Vogelaere’s view perhaps just a minority one? 

Not so! Kristy Leigh-Minehan, a longtime Ethereum miner (who may admittedly be a little bit biased), is not quite anti-merge in the same rancorous vein as our de Vogelaere. Rather, she wonders whether it came about a bit too soon. “The move to proof of stake is a key part of Ethereum’s DNA and was always intended,” she said. “It was necessary and required for future optimizations and scalability features—the question everyone needs to ask themselves is: was now the right time?”

Minehan isn’t so sure. “I, personally, do not think it was in the current regulatory climate,” she said. She wonders whether the prospect of ETH being newly classed as a security could risk “scaring validators, operators, and entrepreneurs.” The primacy of American regulators in particular, she added, can be unnerving. Echoing de Vogelaere, she said: “There is no denying Ethereum has taken root in the USA–that will be its biggest strength and weakness.”

At least some pedigreed Ethereum advocates remain sanguine. “It could be the case that this has some impact on regulatory decision making,” ventured Mat Dryhurst, a left-leaning podcaster and one of the earliest adopters of NFTs. “But to be honest, I don’t get much of an impression that is too much of a concern on the dev side. People are excited to build more utility for the network, and the merge felt like a celebration of another milestone on a long roadmap.”

But isn’t it admittedly a bit overhyped? “It is not a grand technological innovation, and I don’t think it was intended to be,” Dryhurst demurred. “Rollups, zkEVMs [zero-knowledge virtual machines] etc are still needed to scale. I think if anything it just establishes credibility for this corner of crypto, and increases confidence that other ideas being discussed will be executed upon.” He added that he was recently at ETH Berlin and that the energy was “as optimistic as ever.”

The gleeful old guard

There is, maybe, one cohort that fully agrees with all de Vogelaere and his ilk’s dire diagnoses of the merge—and is unabashedly jubilant about them. They are the custodians of another now-defunct network that, they would argue, was, like the miners, also betrayed by the craven handlers of Ethereum proper: an older, abandoned iteration of Ethereum network called Ethereum Classic whose supporters are arguably the most OG that you can get in the brief but melodramatic lifespan of Ethereum politics.

Ethereum Classic was born in 2016 in the wake of a deleterious hack of the Ethereum network’s first decentralized autonomous organization, or The DAO. Mainstream Ethereum developers voted overwhelmingly to “roll back” the hack and make victims’ whole, which a few sticklers viewed as a deadly betrayal of Ethereum’s core principle of immutability. They clung to the old, hacked network, and Ethereum was cleft in two. They have been waiting ever since for the merge, believing that newly unemployed miners (whom they actively tried to seduce) would flock to Ethereum Classic in search of new revenue. 

Incredibly, after six years of patient anticipation, they were right. 

“We’ve seen significantly increased interest in Ethereum Classic in the last couple of months,” said Bob Summerwill, the executive director of the ETC Cooperative, the foundation behind the development of Ethereum Classic, whose ticker is ETC. “The merge was obviously a catalyst.” He added that the amount of mining power on the network has since increased around tenfold, and that Ethereum Classic is now the third largest proof-of-work chain by market cap and second by volume. 

Summerwill, as with others, pointed out that fears around U.S.-capture of the network and newly vigorous regulators may have galvanized many of these miners and driven them to ETC. “Ethereum Classic seems to be benefitting from providing a known and likely safer alternative on these concerns,” he said. It has nevertheless been a bumpy start: Ethereum Classic, as with many others, took a recent dip, and its miners are operating at a loss. “We’re still trying to find a new equilibrium,” Summerwill said. 

Still, it’s a somewhat stunning reversal. After years of agonizing waiting, you have to wonder whether the curmudgeonly old pedants of the Ethereum Classic network—and, even, Ethereum’s would-be regulators—have got the last laugh. 

As de Vogelaere said: “ETH may have played its motherfucking self.”
