Microsoft needs to evaluate Bitcoin strategic options; the Bitcoin strategy could lead to a trillion-dollar increase in Microsoft's market value, creating $1 trillion to $4.9 trillion in shareholder value. If Microsoft adopts 'triple maximization', its market value could increase by nearly $5 trillion. If Bitcoin standard is adopted, Microsoft will achieve success.

Written by: Deep Tide TechFlow
Memes, as defined by their 'rapid dissemination characteristics', spread rapidly across various sectors of the crypto ecosystem like a wildfire: from celebrity effects, the U.S. elections, to the truth terminal and zoo meetings, every day brings a new Meme narrative to life as soon as we open our eyes (or sometimes before we even have the chance to sleep).

Russian President Putin recently stated that BTC and digital currencies are unstoppable, positioning them as key tools for 'reducing financial inefficiency' and 'enhancing economic stability.'
On December 4, Putin spoke at an investment forum in Moscow, advocating for BTC to be considered a global reserve asset instead of the dollar.
Additionally, Putin criticized the U.S. government for using the dominance of the dollar to further control the currencies of other countries, thereby influencing their politics.
Putin pointed out that after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022, Western countries froze $300 billion of Russia's reserves. This prompted many countries to start looking for uncontrolled alternatives, such as BTC.
Technical Analysis of Stacks: BTC Layer2 'Pioneer'
Written by: Haotian
Riding on the impressive performance of the old coin sector, I would like to talk about the absolute old coin of the Bitcoin ecosystem, @Stacks.
1) Unintentionally riding the FOMO wave of BTC Layer2, but it has long been a 'pioneer';
2) The POX consensus mechanism relies on economic binding to hitch a ride on the rapid growth of BTC;
3) The sBTC native BTC cross-chain design, though lacking the cryptographic techniques of Babylon, is still considered 'native'.
Now, let's analyze the above three points from a technical perspective, point by point:
1) As early as 2017, when Bitcoin was still embroiled in the dispute between conservatives and innovators, conservatives firmly believed in simplifying functions to focus solely on being a reserve asset, while innovators argued that BTC needed to expand more application scenarios to support smart contract functionalities to compete with new chains like Ethereum.
Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way multiple industries operate, from finance to healthcare and beyond. While many associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, its applications have long surpassed the realm of digital currency. In this article, we will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of blockchain, analyze the different types of blockchain, and delve into the unique aspects of XT Smart Chain and its native token, XT.

What is Blockchain? Analysis of Blockchain Types
Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that can record data in a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof manner. Its core technology relies on a network of computers (or nodes) that collaborate to verify and store transaction data, recording it in a chain-structured block format. Each block is tightly linked to the previous one through cryptographic techniques, forming a secure and immutable record chain.
