#FractalBitcoin #Tokenomics #MainnetLaunch #Crypto #Blockchain #ProofOfWork #Mining #Ecosystem #CommunityGrants #Presale #CoreContributors #Advisors
According to Foresight News, Fractal Bitcoin has revealed its tokenomics model as it prepares for its mainnet launch in approximately 11 hours. The model outlines the distribution of its total token supply of 210 million tokens, with 80% allocated to the community and 20% to the team and contributors, subject to a lock-up period.
Half of the total supply (50%) will be allocated to Proof of Work (PoW) mining. Additionally, 15% of the tokens will be reserved for the ecosystem treasury, and 10% will be allocated for community grants. Both the ecosystem treasury and community grants have a distribution cap of 10% of the total annual allocation, which will continue for 10 years. Another 5% of the tokens are designated for presale.
The remaining 15% of the tokens will be allocated to core contributors. The unlocking schedule for presale and team tokens has been clearly defined from the outset. According to the terms, these tokens will begin unlocking at the end of the 7th month and will be released linearly until the end of the 12th month. Additionally, 5% of the tokens are currently reserved for current and future advisors, with an annual distribution cap of 20% over a period of 5 years.#FractalBitcoin #Tokenomics #MainnetLaunch #Crypto #Blockchain #ProofOfWork #Mining #Ecosystem #CommunityGrants #Presale #CoreContributors #Advisors
π Bitcoin ATM Growth in the US Raises Cybersecurity Concerns
#Bitcoin #ATMs #Cybersecurity #Cybercrime #Cryptocurrency #Hacking #FinancialFraud #BitcoinDepot #Vigilance #Technology #BTC
According to BlockBeats, the number of Bitcoin ATMs in the United States is rapidly increasing, raising concerns among experts about the growing threat of cybercrime. Bitcoin ATMs function similarly to traditional cash ATMs, requiring a PIN code and a withdrawal fee. However, the high value of cryptocurrencies makes these machines prime targets for hackers. Unlike cash ATMs, which might go unnoticed in a gas station, Bitcoin ATMs attract more attention from criminals.
Timothy Bates, a cybersecurity professor at the University of Michigan's School of Innovation and Technology, stated that these machines are particularly vulnerable to both physical and cyber threats, making them a primary target for hackers and thieves. Data from Frei indicates that nearly 74% of ATMs worldwide are managed by ten operators. The largest Bitcoin ATM operator, Bitcoin Depot, runs over 8,000 machines. Its CEO, Brandon Mintz, mentioned that their machines are designed to prevent hacking but questioned the notion that Bitcoin ATMs are a major target for cybercriminals.
Mintz explained that because the hardware and Bitcoin wallet environment are separate, Bitcoin ATMs are generally not a high-priority target for cybercriminals. He also noted that Bitcoin Depot does not store any Bitcoin locally on the ATMs and has multiple layers of verification and approval processes to prevent unauthorized access to their wallets. Additionally, Mintz pointed out that most Bitcoin ATMs, including those operated by Bitcoin Depot, only accept cash, eliminating the possibility of criminals using card skimmers as they might with traditional cash ATMs. However, he advised users to remain vigilant against scams, noting that basic protocols protecting consumers from traditional financial fraud also apply to the world of cryptocurrencies.#Bitcoin #ATMs #Cybersecurity #Cybercrime #Cryptocurrency #Hacking #FinancialFraud #BitcoinDepot #Vigilance #Technology #BTC

π Elon Musk Unveils Plan For Human City On Mars
#ElonMusk #Mars #SpaceX #Starship #HumanCity #Multiplanetary #Blockchain #Satellites #SpaceExploration #Technology
According to Cointelegraph, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has outlined an ambitious plan to establish a human city on Mars within the next few decades, starting with uncrewed Starship voyages in 2026. Musk aims to begin crewed trips by the end of the decade if initial tests are successful.
SpaceX plans to launch Starship spacecraft with the goal of landing on Mars in two years, coinciding with the next Earth-Mars transfer window in late 2026. The first flights will be uncrewed to test Starshipβs landing capabilities and ensure crew safety. Crewed voyages are expected to commence between two and four years later, depending on the outcomes of these initial tests.
Musk has emphasized the urgency of these missions, citing lower birthrates as a significant threat to humanity. He believes that becoming a multiplanetary species will increase the probable lifespan of human consciousness by not relying solely on Earth.
The ultimate goal of the Mars venture is to build a functional human city within the next 20 years. Musk highlighted the economic and technological challenges, noting that the current cost of transporting useful payloads to Mars is about a billion dollars per ton. This cost needs to be reduced to $100,000 per ton to create a self-sustaining city, requiring a 10,000-fold improvement in technology.
NASA research suggests that blockchain technology could be crucial for advancing space-based logistics and communications. SpaceX, with its extensive network of Starlink satellites, is well-positioned to implement blockchain technology for satellite communication and logistics. A recent report from The Independent indicates that SpaceX has 6,370 active Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit, controlling more than 62% of all active satellites.#ElonMusk #Mars #SpaceX #Starship #HumanCity #Multiplanetary #Blockchain #Satellites #SpaceExploration #Technology

π US August Unemployment Rate Declines, Labor Market Remains Stable
#UnemploymentRate #LaborMarket #USEconomy #JobGrowth #FederalReserve #InterestRates #SoftLanding #CICC #NonFarmPayrolls
According to BlockBeats, a research report by China International Capital Corporation (CICC) on September 9 indicated that the decline in the U.S. unemployment rate for August reflects a reversal of temporary unemployment, aligning with expectations. However, the slowdown in the increase of non-farm payrolls suggests that corporate demand for labor is also decreasing. The positive aspect is that there are no significant signs of mass layoffs, and the number of unemployment benefit claims remains low. This indicates that the labor market remains stable and has not experienced a sharp decline.
Looking ahead, the U.S. economy is still expected to achieve a soft landing, but the Federal Reserve must also take action. The likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in September is higher, and it may consider further rate cuts depending on the situation thereafter.#UnemploymentRate #LaborMarket #USEconomy #JobGrowth #FederalReserve #InterestRates #SoftLanding #CICC #NonFarmPayrolls

π Market Anticipates Lower Volatility Ahead Of US CPI Data Release
#CPI #USCPI #MarketVolatility #FederalReserve #InterestRateCuts #Inflation #EmploymentTrends #EconomicOutlook #RecessionRisk #InvestorsStrategies
According to BlockBeats, the United States is set to release its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data this Wednesday, September 9. Options traders generally expect market volatility to be lower than previously anticipated for CPI release days. This shift in expectations is attributed to the ongoing decline in inflation towards the Federal Reserve's target, which has led to preparations for potential interest rate cuts by the Fed. Consequently, the CPI data has become less significant for the stock market. Instead, the focus has shifted to the weakening employment situation and whether the Federal Reserve can avoid a hard landing for the economy.
Eric Diton, President and Managing Director of Wealth Alliance, highlighted that the critical issue for stock market investors is whether the Federal Reserve has delayed interest rate cuts for too long. He noted that the risk of recession is now higher than it was two months ago, making inflation a less pressing concern. The evolving economic landscape has prompted investors to reassess their strategies, with greater attention now being paid to employment trends and the broader economic outlook.#CPI #USCPI #MarketVolatility #FederalReserve #InterestRateCuts #Inflation #EmploymentTrends #EconomicOutlook #RecessionRisk #InvestorsStrategies

π Wall Street Donors Urge Changes In FTC And SEC Leadership
#WallStreet #Donors #FTC #SEC #KamalaHarris #LinaKhan #GaryGensler #BarryDiller #ReidHoffman #MarkCuban #PoliticalFunding #TechIndustry #EconomicSectors #CapitalMarkets
According to BlockBeats, major Democratic donors on Wall Street are intensifying their efforts to urge Vice President Kamala Harris's team to replace Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler if they win the November election.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that during calls and fundraising events with Harris's team, these wealthy donors have repeatedly criticized Khan, accusing her of hindering the development of the tech industry and other economic sectors. The discussions about replacing Khan have become more intense since IAC Chairman Barry Diller and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman publicly called for her removal in July.
Additionally, some insiders noted that donors from both parties are dissatisfied with Gensler, perceiving his attitude towards Wall Street as arrogant. Billionaire Mark Cuban told CNBC this week that he has asked the Vice President's team to consider him for the SEC Chair position.
Despite the ongoing private lobbying, donors are unlikely to stop their contributions over the issue of Khan's tenure. Harris's team has not made a clear stance on Khan's position to the donors. FTC spokesperson Douglas Farrar declined to comment, while an SEC spokesperson stated that their initiatives are aimed at enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and resilience of the U.S. capital markets.#WallStreet #Donors #FTC #SEC #KamalaHarris #LinaKhan #GaryGensler #BarryDiller #ReidHoffman #MarkCuban #PoliticalFunding #TechIndustry #EconomicSectors #CapitalMarkets

π Top Trader Eugene Discusses Market Volatility and Future Prospects

According to BlockBeats, on September 9, top trader Eugene shared his insights on social media regarding the recent six months of market volatility. He described this period as extremely harsh but ultimately constructive in the long term, as it has created conditions for large-scale contrarian positioning.
Eugene noted that market participants have become accustomed to selling during price increases and trading within ranges, as doing otherwise often leads to endless back-and-forth trading or worse outcomes. He emphasized that when the majority decide to hold tokens again, no one will be prepared for what happens next. Those who blindly bought and held have faced significant losses, making such individuals rare in the current market.
He mentioned that the spark for a trend change could be anything. While he did not claim that the market has reached its bottom, he expressed his willingness to make enough attempts, with stop-loss measures in place, to ensure he is among the first to capitalize when a significant upward movement eventually occurs. Eugene stated his readiness to make multiple attempts if necessary to achieve this goal.#Trader #MarketVolatility #FutureProspects #ContrarianPositioning #PriceIncreases #TradingStrategies #MarketTrends #Investing #StopLoss #Capitalizing
