The attention may have been with DeFi when it was warm, but as the cold winds of COVID-19 return fears and election volatility blow, bitcoin is resuming narrative dominance. Our main discussion is a narrative shift from DeFi back to bitcoin. Over the summer, DeFi led the crypto charge. From growth in total value locked to narrative dominance to even leadership in the all important category of crypto drama, DeFi was it. Now, as a potentially turbulent macro environment rears its head, the narrative is shifting back to a focus on bitcoin. Source link

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump’s administration was preparing to carry out an “immigration enforcement blitz” in October that would target US “sanctuary” cities and jurisdictions. One expert tells Sputnik that this is nothing more than an attempt at increasing 45’s chances of reelection. Patrick D. Anderson, a visiting assistant professor of philosophy at Grand Valley State University, contributor to Black Agenda Report and editor-in-chief of the WikiLeaks Bibliography, joined Radio Sputnik’s Political Misfits on Wednesday and emphasized that the present state of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could have been prevented while former US […]
According to the hacktivist collective, the files provide, for the first time, “a detailed map” on the British intelligence services’ clandestine operations in Syria to fund, arm and provide a sanitized, publicly acceptable media voice to an array of opposition militants and jihadists seeking to topple the Assad government. Anonymous, the international hacking group behind the 2018 publication of documents detailing the UK government’s Integrity Initiative media manipulation project, has released a new trove of dozens upon dozens of files on a separate, clandestine project by the British and American governments to handcraft a broad, pro-opposition, anti-Assad propaganda narrative which has […]
It’s pretty much guaranteed at this point that higher inflation is coming. The Federal Reserve, which has already printed about $3 trillion of new money this year, is now explicitly devoted to reducing the dollar’s purchasing power in a bid to revive the economy. Higher inflation also typically happens when a country gets laden with debt and interest rates are cut to zero, as is now the case in the U.S. “We’re at a moment where you may see some inflation,” Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said last week. The trend could be good for bitcoin, which many crypto investors believe […]
US Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie dismissed media reports that Donald Trump disparaged the nation’s war dead as “losers,” saying the president honors those who fought for the country by taking real steps to help them. “I judge a man by his actions, and the actions have been beneficial to veterans all across this country in ways we’ve not seen since the end of World War II,” Wilkie said Sunday in a CNN interview. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie says he does not believe Pres. Trump made disparaging remarks about US service members and veterans and has never heard the President […]
“YAMs = Ponzinomics of AMPL + Chad launch of YFI + Meme math of Tendies,” Messari analyst Ryan Watkins tweeted about the latest decentralized financial application to set crypto atwitter. It’s the type of back of the napkin logic that looks like gibberish on its face, but has an internal cohesion that makes sense to insiders. Yams, chads and tendies. “In this market, where there are so many different projects already fighting for attention and new ones launching everyday, it is important for projects to try and get people motivated to spend their time learning about THEIR project,” Anil Lulla, COO […]

Guest post by Lawrence Sellin Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the Chinese Communist Party has desperately tried to convince the world that SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, was naturally transmitted from animals to humans. That is, SARS-CoV-2, over time, naturally mutated in animals until it attained structures capable of infecting humans. A new scientific study, however, demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 could not have “jumped” from animals to humans in the way China claims, because it is probably incapable of infecting bats or pangolins (scaly anteaters), the only two animal hosts that could have harboured the virus.

In 2015, I was standing in an elevator with long golden-brown braids down my back, silver dangling earrings, a nude lip, and thrilled about experiencing my first night out in Dublin, Ireland, as a college student. However, before I could even step outside of the elevator, my mood shifted as an older white man began to yank on my braids, pulling my head into a backward motion. I looked at him puzzled, as he continued to tug on my hair. He said very little, and I quickly shrugged him off and walked away. It wasn’t the first time a white person […]
The View’s resident conservative co-host Meghan McCain on Tuesday defended the white St. Louis couple who brandished guns at Black Lives Matter protesters near their property, claiming the recent “defund the police” narrative from activists “breeds hysteria and it breeds fear.” Earlier this week, video and images of personal injury lawyers Mark and Patricia McCloskey pointing firearms at demonstrators in front of their mansion went viral. Protesters, who were marching to Mayor Lyda Krewson’s house to call for her resignation, entered the private street through a gate, prompting the McCloskeys to exit their home with guns to yell at the demonstrators.

In a world where conventional wisdom has never been more up for grabs, one VC explains why there is opportunity in alternative narratives. The battle to control narratives is the battle to shape how people understand the world around them. But the traditional gatekeepers of narratives – the media – have never had more competition to shape what is perceived as truth. In this episode, NLW speaks with Bedrock Capital founder Geoff Lewis about what it means to seek out opportunities in “narrative violations.” They also discuss: Disclosure Read More The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that […]
