VanEck's advisor, Gabor Gurbacs, has suggested that countries should adopt Bitcoin instead of rushing into Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in response to the recent announcement by the BRICS nations. The BRICS announcement focused on the creation of an independent payment system based on digital currencies and blockchain technology. However, Gurbacs emphasized the advantages of Bitcoin, such as its scarcity and decentralized nature, over CBDCs. He also highlighted the potential advantages of early adoption of Bitcoin, suggesting that nations stand to gain from embracing the crypto. The BRICS announcement signals a concerted effort to explore alternative monetary systems, with a focus on digital technologies and blockchain.

1confirmation founder: There is a negative correlation between the popularity of the seed round and the success of the project product
On April 29th, Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, wrote on X that there is a negative correlation between the popularity of seed round projects and their success. Participating in a hot round is indeed exciting: high funding amounts, intense competition, big-name investors, and extensive media coverage. However, rarely does participating in such hot projects before the product-market fit is clear bring truly outstanding results. At 1confirmation, some of the most "popular" projects we have invested in have actually performed the worst. -

Trump signed an executive order in early March this year proposing to establish a national strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other tokens, and requested the Treasury Secretary to submit an evaluation report on the legality and feasibility of the plan within 60 days. With less than two weeks remaining until the 60-day deadline set by Trump's executive order, this means that more details about the US Bitcoin reserve will soon be disclosed. Market expectations for this may be one of the important catalysts for the recent rebound in cryptocurrency. In addition, any comments questioning the independence of the Federal Reserve have also had a positive spillover effect on Bitcoin. -
