![](https://i.imgur.com/vTEShcE.jpg) ​ Photo by [Mikhail Pavstyuk](https://unsplash.com/photos/EKy2OTRPXdw) on Unsplash --- Market indecision has been the hallmark of this week's crypto volatility. Some Alts such as Link made significant moves but the sustainability of these price gains is entirely unproven. As usual, lots more than price discovery going on in this space.The Bitwise ETF was shot down as expected though the firmness of the rejection was perhaps a surprise. The IRS issued draconian tax guidance for US citizens and Bakkt trade volume picked up just a little bit. Given that this is the 50th edition of this series it's worth re-stating the goal it strives to achieve: The purpose of this weekly series is to recap some of the interesting ideas and concepts across a wide range of disciplines which each and every week in crypto seems to throw up. This ‘learners paradise’ is a great space to explore but also asks a lot of those who delve into it. Got a grasp on basic programming logic, how about Austrian economics, or quantum computing or precisely how hashing algorithms underpin blockchains? Taking a moment to reflect or recap on the recent concepts and ideas crossing the crypto landscape can be very beneficial whether you are a hardcore crypto enthusiast or just exploring a casual interest in the space. It’s important to note that not every idea here reflects my own bias or opinion. If it’s here, it’s because it made me think. --- # Picks of the Week This [article](https://uncommoncore.co/research-paper-a-model-for-bitcoins-security-and-the-declining-block-subsidy/) on Bitcoin's security. A [forecast](https://youtu.be/DA2cWMGR11c) into 2020 and this irreverent [discussion](https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/aleks-svetski-founder-amber-why-bitcoin-price-is-wrong/id1434060078?i=1000452270641) of BTC. --- # Twitter As you can see there really isn't any basis to pursue crypto: https://twitter.com/Rhythmtrader/status/1180256599203614722 Bitwise ETF doomed from the start?: https://twitter.com/Rptr45/status/1182093405297549312 Stacking sats seems to work: https://twitter.com/matt_odell/status/1182121647928684545 Here's what interest on 10 BTC amounts to (risk, risk, risk): https://twitter.com/danheld/status/1136264342612140033 Binance needs to thread softly in China: https://twitter.com/truthurtm/status/1182304264036601856 Nick Szabo on money/ evolution of the dollar (recommended); https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1147723003716751360 EOS needs a well-tested backup plan: https://twitter.com/ryaneos42/status/1181453142673592321 Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the pain: https://twitter.com/MoonOverlord/status/1181201267214950402 Tether skepticism is probably a reasonable position: https://twitter.com/lawmaster/status/1181571057662271488 --- # Articles An examination of Bitcoin security with particular reference to block subsidies - follow link to download full pdf.

See you back down this wonderful crypto rabbit hole before you know it! --- **Note on Sources**: *Twitter & Reddit (cryptos current meta-brains) / Medium / Trybe / Hackernoon / Whaleshares / TIMM and so on/ YouTube / various podcasts and whatever else I stumble upon. The aim is a useful weekly aggregator of ideas rather than news. Though I try to keep the sources current – I’ll reference these articles and podcasts etc. as I encounter them – they may have been published just a couple of days ago or in some cases quite a bit earlier.* --- Also published on TIMM. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Mye4GzV.png)
