I'm your host, Robert Warren, and today, we're reviewing the top stories from our weekly newsletter.We begin with the soaring Bitcoin mining difficulty, which has reached an unprecedented 110.45 trillion. This marks the eighth consecutive positive adjustment, a pattern reminiscent of the 2018 bear and 2021 bull markets. As the network hash rate surges to 775 exahashes per second, with potential to hit 1 zeta hash per second, the Bitcoin network's resilience and growth are evident. Miners are adapting by diversifying into high-performance computing and AI to stay competitive.Next, we discuss the Human Rights Foundation's first Financial Freedom Report, which highlights Bitcoin's role in challenging global financial repression. The report covers various international developments, such as Nicaragua's financial reforms, China's censorship of economists, and Iran's restrictions on cryptocurrency exchanges. On the tech side, Live Wallet and Bold Bitcoin are enhancing privacy features, emphasizing the importance of privacy in financial transactions.We also explore River Financial's new security tool, Forcefield, designed to protect Bitcoin from theft through a combination of send limits and deactivation delays. This tool addresses the risks associated with self-custody and exchange losses, reinforcing River's reputation as a security-first Bitcoin company.Finally, we cover Coinbase's launch of Bitcoin-backed on-chain loans in partnership with the DeFi protocol Morpho. This new service allows customers to borrow up to $100,000 in USDC using Bitcoin as collateral, blending traditional and decentralized finance. The loans are over-collateralized, with interest rates adjusting dynamically based on market conditions.Stay tuned for more updates from Bitcoin Park, and don't forget to follow us on Nastr and Twitter for the latest news in the Bitcoin world.
