  • MVMT: What Determines Bitcoin’s Price?
    Dec 11 2024

    Ever Wonder What Determines Bitcoin’s Price? MVMT founder Richard Pasqua & team explore the supply, the demand, and the many ideas that move Bitcoin's price.

    1. Supply and Demand: The price of Bitcoin is primarily influenced by the balance between supply and demand. When demand increases, the price rises, and when demand falls, the price drops.
    2. Greed and Fear: Investor sentiment, driven by emotions such as greed and fear, plays a significant role in shaping Bitcoin’s price. As investors speculate on potential returns, they drive up or down the price.
    3. Block Reward Halving: The reduction in block rewards every 210,000 blocks (approximately every four years) affects the supply of new bitcoins, leading to scarcity and potentially driving up the price.
    4. Miner Activity: Miners’ creation of new blocks and the subsequent release of new bitcoins into circulation influence the supply and, subsequently, the price.
    5. Global Economic Events: Economic events, such as stock market fluctuations, global financial crises, and geopolitical tensions, can impact investor sentiment and demand for Bitcoin, affecting its price.
    6. Popularity and Adoption: The growing base of users, merchants, and startups accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment contributes to its value and price.
    7. Mathematical Properties: Bitcoin’s decentralized, trustless, and transparent nature, backed by its mathematical design, provides a foundation for its value and price stability.
    8. Other aspects that will determine Bitcoin price in the near future: As our founder Rich Pasqua mentions to us all the time, there are many internal and external factors that can drive prices up and down. One of which is Global adoption of Bitcoin as a national reserve. With the United States leading the way in planning an aggressive Bitcoin national reserve, many other nations will follow suite, over the next few years. We are talking Trillions of dollars of inflow.

    Another aspect that will drive Bitcoin’s price that we are already seeing, via “MicroStrategy” is, midsized and large organizations are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. This is being done as a hedge against the inflationary dollar.

    We will also see more and more money flow into Bitcoin ETFs, which are currently offered by Blackrock, Fidelity, Vanguard, Grayscale and others. Additional ETF’s like the Ethereum ETF are set to launch in 2025.

    Lastly, as we see the balance of power shift globally through recent elections, we will see more “Crypto-friendly” legislation being passed, making the process of creating new financial products more fluid, which ultimately gives retail investors more investment options.
    These factors interact and influence one another, making Bitcoin’s price volatile and subject to fluctuations. The search results emphasize that Bitcoin’s price is not controlled by a central authority, unlike fiat currencies, and its value comes directly from people willing to accept it as payment.

  • MVMT: Understanding The Cypherpunk Movement!
    Dec 9 2024

    The Cypherpunk movement is a socio-political movement advocating for the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a means to effect social and political change. Rooted in libertarian philosophy, cypherpunks believe in decentralization, individual autonomy, and freedom from centralized authority. Their impact on society is undeniable, from influencing the development of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to mainstreaming encryption in everyday technologies like secure messaging apps.

    History:

    While cryptography was largely confined to military and intelligence agencies until the 1970s, the publication of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the first publicly available work on public-key cryptography brought it into the public sphere. David Chaum's 1985 paper, "Security without Identification: Transaction Systems to Make Big Brother Obsolete," further laid the groundwork for Cypherpunk ideas.

    The term "cypherpunk" emerged in the late 1980s, and the movement gained momentum with the establishment of the "Cypherpunks" electronic mailing list in 1992. The list, described as "a very active forum," hosted discussions on a range of topics, including mathematics, cryptography, computer science, political and philosophical discussions, personal arguments, and even spam.

    Key Principles:

    The Cypherpunk ethos is captured in Eric Hughes' 1993 "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto":

    "Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age...We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy… We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. … Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and … we're going to write it."
