Bitcoin's Post-Halving Supply Change Is Permanently Locked by Mathematical Rules

The fourth Bitcoin halving occurred on April 20, 2024, at block height 840,000, reducing the block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. This event, programmed into Bitcoin’s protocol and triggered automatically every 210,000 blocks, reinforces its deterministic and transparent monetary policy. Post-halving, daily Bitcoin issuance dropped by approximately 50%, from about 900 BTC to 450 BTC, with annualized issuance falling to around 164,250 BTC. This reduced Bitcoin’s annual supply inflation rate to roughly 0.83%, lower than gold's estimated 1–2% growth and contrasting sharply with central bank-controlled fiat systems. By the end of 2024, approximately 19.7 million BTC were in circulation, leaving fewer than 1.3 million left to be mined. Over 93.8% of the total supply has already been issued. The halving also shifted miner economics, significantly increasing the proportion of transaction fees in their total revenue. This aligns with Bitcoin’s long-term design, where security gradually transitions from block subsidies to fee-based incentives. Unlike traditional monetary systems, Bitcoin’s supply schedule is fixed, irreversible, and independent of market conditions. The next halving, expected around 2028, will further reduce the block reward to 1.5625 BTC. With the latest halving complete, Bitcoin’s low issuance rate is no longer a short-term event but a permanent baseline feature—verifiable, predictable, and enforced by code and consensus.

Will the United States Use Encryption Technology to Resolve the 37 Trillion Dollar Debt Crisis?

The article explores the United States' potential use of cryptocurrency and stablecoins to manage its $37 trillion national debt, as suggested by a senior advisor to Russian President Putin. The core idea is that the U.S. could leverage its control over the global reserve currency to "export" inflation and effectively devalue its debt through digital asset systems, forcing other nations to bear the cost. This would not involve direct default but rather a strategic devaluation via monetary expansion, a historically common tactic. Stablecoins, backed by U.S. Treasury assets, could distribute this debt globally. As adoption grows, losses from dollar inflation would be shared by all stablecoin holders worldwide, not just U.S. citizens. This system offers the control of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) without the political baggage. However, trust remains a critical issue: stablecoin reserves cannot be fully independently audited, and the U.S. could unilaterally change rules, as it did when decoupling the dollar from gold in 1971. While a direct government move—like selling gold to buy Bitcoin, as proposed by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor—is unlikely, the U.S. may instead allow private companies to lead the adoption. Firms like MicroStrategy accumulating Bitcoin could serve as a backdoor for eventual state interest. The article concludes that some form of digital asset strategy to address the debt crisis is probable, though it may unfold gradually and discreetly.

Trip.com Overseas Version Launches Stablecoin Payments, Supports USDT and USDC

Trip.com, the overseas version of Chinese travel giant Ctrip, has launched a stablecoin payment option for its global users, supporting both USDT and USDC. The feature, confirmed by sources to Foresight News, is already operational. A user in Vietnam successfully booked a hotel using USDT in under 10 minutes, noting that prices for some bookings were even lower than on the main Ctrip platform or with traditional payment methods. The service is integrated via Singapore-based licensed crypto payment institution Triple-A and supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. A key advantage noted is enhanced privacy; for hotel bookings, only a name and email are required, though flights still need standard compliance information. This move is seen as a response to growing global user concerns and a major trust incident Ctrip faced recently. The article positions this within a broader trend of major corporations—including PayPal, Ant Group, Grab, and manufacturers like BYD and Toyota—adopting stablecoins. The driving forces are varied: for some, it's about becoming stablecoin issuers; for others, it's a pragmatic solution for users in regions with high inflation and limited access to international credit cards. The piece highlights severe currency devaluation in countries like Bolivia, Iran, and Turkey, where stablecoins are becoming a necessary alternative to unstable local currencies. Ultimately, stablecoin adoption is presented not as an idealistic choice, but as the least bad option in areas where traditional financial systems are failing.
