1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / 💥😮Ripple Launches CBDC Platform For Banks, Governments🏦 on: May 19, 2023, 04:41:47 PM


Ripple, the digital payment network behind XRP, has launched a new platform that allows central banks, governments, and financial institutions to issue their own central bank digital currencies (CBDC). The platform, called Ripple CBDC Platform, leverages blockchain technology to manage and customize the life cycle of fiat-based CBDCs and stablecoins. Despite concerns about CBDCs posing risks to financial privacy and economic freedom, Ripple believes its platform will enable instant settlement of domestic and cross-border payments, reduce risk, and improve the user experience. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also revealed plans to focus hiring efforts outside the US to expand the company's international footprint.

What do you think about this new Ripple initiative? Is it against financial freedom then?

                                               What is the Bitcoin Halving (Halvening)?
New bitcoins are issued by the Bitcoin network every 10 minutes. For the first four years of Bitcoin's existence, the number of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes was 50. Every four years, this number is cut in half.

In 2012, the number of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25. In 2016, it dropped from 25 to 12.5. In the most recent May 11, 2020 halving, the reward dropped from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC per block.

In the upcoming 2024 halving, the reward will drop from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.

The next bitcoin halving is less than two years, to me, this period will be different because, for the first time, I really am paying attention to important aspects of btc and keeping myself updated as well.
I can't really say much about previous halving other than just reading about them (probably because I was not holding btc) but now is different because I have been accumulating in every little way I can.

So dear colleagues, What are your expectations? other than price increase  Cool
*Do you expect to see widespread adoption and acceptance?
*More involvement from big companies?
*More popular?
*Increase number of users?
*Any other.......


Bitcoin managed to break through the USD 17,000 mark inevitably coming out of the recent price range and reaching a three-week high.

Dear  Senior/knowledgeable/very experienced  miners,  could  I  gain  your  thoughts  please...

Please  kindly  bestow  any  information  you  would  you  kindly  help  in  as  much  depth  as
possible  with  this  question  as  I  require  more  than  just  yes/no  :

Is  it  really  worth  it  as  an  individual  these days  given  all  the  mining  farms  and  their
power,  to  achieve  solo  results?  it's  just  I'm
genuinely  curious  about  the  realistic  potential  of  the  individual  miner  gaining  positively?
thoughts please?

Many  thanks  in  advance.

Hello friend, I have a BTC mining machine but currently it has not been giving me the profits it was giving me a while ago, even taking into account that my electricity cost is low.

It is not easy to make profit mining any btc at the moment of that I am sure.

It will all depend on the cost per watts you have in your country and there you make an evaluation. Don't think the profits will be immediate.

Don't invest too much money in a machine for now, try to buy an economical one and be patient.
