What Bitcoin Really Is

The golden standard behind Bitcoin is not the technology. It’s the community that came together, developed the technology, reached an agreement, and executed it.

This distinction matters more now than ever. As we face the quantum computing challenge, we need to remember what actually makes Bitcoin valuable. The cryptographic algorithms can be changed. The code can be upgraded. What cannot be replicated is a global community capable of coordinating complex technical decisions without central authority.

At a time when the strongest government in the world shuts down because it cannot have a civil conversation, we have an opportunity. Let the Bitcoin community show the world what real governance looks like. We created an alternative to a failing fiat system. Now we can demonstrate that decentralized decision-making isn’t just an idealistic dream but a practical reality.

The quantum threat is real. But it’s also an opportunity to prove that Bitcoin’s true innovation isn’t the blockchain technology. It’s us.

The Uncomfortable Truth We Need to Face

A conversation is currently taking place that many in the Bitcoin community would prefer to avoid. It’s technically uncertain and deeply inconvenient. It challenges assumptions we’ve held for years. And most dangerously, it has the potential…

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
