The majority of people will have their wealth progressively eaten away by the devaluation of money, according to Arthur Hayes, the co-founder and former CEO of crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX.
According to Hayes, due to the huge amount of public debt accumulated by the world’s largest economies, governments will have no choice but "inflating it away" through money printing.

Investing in assets "outside of the traditional financial system” is the only way to preserve one’s wealth, according to the former BitMEX CEO.

Ethereum whale population drops after Shapella — Will ETH price sink too?
Ethereum's supply across whale addresses has dropped consistently since March 2020, offset by greater retail interest.
Ethereum whale population drops after Shapella — Will ETH price sink too?
The share of Ethereum (ETH) held by so-called whale addresses has dropped since Ethereum's Shapella upgrade in mid April, suggesting that large investors may be leaning bearish in t near term.
ETH whale population shrinks post-Shapella
The amount of Ether held by addresses with 1,000-10,000 ETH, or "whales," was over 14.033 million ETH on May 1, according to Glassnode data. In comparison, the count was 14.167 million ETH on April 12, when Shapella went live on Ethereum.

"Shrimps" only ones buying ETH since Shapella
Ether's price is down over 3.5% since the Shapella upgrade— suggesting that several whales may have indeed "sold the news."
Interestingly, other address cohorts also showed a decline, including sharks (100-1,000 ETH), fishes (10-100 ETH), crabs (1-10 ETH), and even mega-whales (10,000+ ETH).
BTC price may need a $24.4K dip as Bitcoin speculators stay in profit
Bitcoin short-term holders are slowly seeing profits evaporate as BTC price action trends lower, but more downside could be next.
BTC price may need a $24.4K dip as Bitcoin speculators stay in profit
Bitcoin (BTC) has room to drop below $25,000 to flush out a recent influx of speculators, research shows.
In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, “The Week On-Chain,” analytics firm Glassnode flagged the ongoing influence of “short-term holders” (STHs) on BTC price action.
Profitability reset point lies below $25,000
BTC/USD has struggled to overcome $30,000 resistance in recent weeks, and multiple fakeouts have frustrated Bitcoin bulls.
In its latest investigation into on-chain activity, Glassnode revealed that market newcomers may be responsible — speculative behavior, including profit-taking, has become prevalent in 2023.
Among the metrics contributing evidence is market value to realized value (MVRV), which tracks spot price and the on-chain cost basis of specific investor segments. STH-MVRV reflects the relationship as it impacts STHs, defined as those hodling Bitcoin for 155 days or less.

Crypto and AI: Control the robots, incentivize the humans
Does AI need blockchain and crypto to incentivise the humans in the loop — or to help keep the robots in line?
Crypto and AI: Control the robots, incentivize the humans
Text generator ChatGPT is the fastest-growing consumer app ever, and it’s still growing rapidly.
But the dirty secret of AI is that humans are still needed to create, label and structure training data — and training data is very expensive. The dark side of this is that an exponential feedback loop is being created where AI is a surveillance technology. And so, managing the humans in the AI loop is crucial.
Some experts believe that when (potentially) robots take over the world, they’d better be controlled by decentralized networks. And humans must be incentivized to prepare the data sets. Blockchain and tokens can help… but can blockchain save humanity from AI?
ChatGPT is just regurgitated data
ChatGPT is a big deal according to famed AI researcher Ben Goertzel, given that “the ChatGPT thing caused the Google founders to show up at the office for the first time in years!” he laughs. Goertzel is the founder of blockchain-based AI marketplace SingularityNET and an outspoken proponent of artificial general intelligence (AGI) — computers thinking for themselves. That means he sees where ChatGPT falls short more clearly than most.
“What’s interesting about ChatGPT and other neuro models is that they achieve a certain amount of generality without having much ability to generalize. They achieve a general scope of ability relative to an individual human by having so much training data.”
