Bitcoin investors are now moving to gold citing the cryptocurrency’s issues with liquidity and store of value.

That seems highly unlikely. Primarily because the price of gold doesn't fluctuate like the price of Bitcoin does, so the chance of a big profit is no longer a possibility for them.

Jack dorsey who owns Cash App caught promoting bitcoin without revealing to viewers the partnership between the joe rogan podcast and jack dorsey's Cash App. Cash app is a smartphone app that can be used to transfer bitcoin from user to user.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Dorsey is just a fan of bitcoin, and wants to see it prosper. Therefore, he is talking highly of it.
There is literally no bad side to this, everyone benefits.

I was thinking about the ways to make the blockchain smaller, and the most obvious and simplest solution that I came up with consists in restarting the blockchain one day. For example, we can start with an empty blockchain every year with only initial balances written on it and without any transactions. I think that would make the whole network more reliable, while full nodes easier to maintain

Of course, the previous blockchains should be available at all times as well, whoever may need them. We may have to tie them up into one whole using links or whatever so that we could always trace all transactions back to the genesis block. Note that we don't necessarily have to restart with an empty blockchain as we can, for example, save the last 2-3 years of transactions once the blockchain is restarted

Is this a good idea?

If you are talking about linking an old blockhain to a new one, then there are a couple of things you should be aware of.

Primarily, expect the old one to die, because of the massive migration of people form the old one to the new one.
Additionally, it would just end up as starting from the UTXOs, which i don't know if you really want.

Taking into consideration the potential that cryptos and blockchains have shown, it's safe to say that they aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Hey guys, just came across this article on Ars Technica..
Bitcoin Based Gambling to Expand in 2013

I'm impartial to the expansion of gambling and the use of Bitcoin with it, but I do think this will ultimately lead to an increased USD/BTC price overall (obviously not immediately). Thoughts?

Despite the significant growth of the online gambling industry, several on-going issues have made some countries (the US most prominently) reluctant to legalize online gambling. Additionally, a large number of people are deterred from trying out betting games due to problems with trust, security and reliability.

Also, problems such as account restrictions due to location, withheld bonuses, withdrawal fees and restrictions among other tend to deter people from even trying out online betting.

Our Team at Faireum aims to get rid of the restrictions placed upon the online betting community, and along with that, all the insecurities plaguing the minds of potential clients.

By creating a new blockchain and a set of protocols with custom features to meet Online Gambling requirements, Faireum will introduce a platform that is trustful, borderless, secure, and fast for blockchain-powered online gambling, therefore:

-Our Solution Reducing operational costs of online gambling therefore providing higher payouts

-Reducing the risk of fraud Reducing the cost of user accounts and money management for online casino operators

-Creating an open ecosystem of provably fair interoperable online casinos

-Providing third parties with trustful and transparent services to fit development under Faireum protocols
