Chinese officials visited Moscow’s central bank, finance ministry, and other key agencies to analyze how Russia navigated economic restrictions. This proactive approach speaks to fears China may have over its $3.3 trillion in foreign reserves and overseas bank assets, which would face significant restrictions under Western sanctions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, China is working to diversify away from dollar-denominated assets and reduce reliance on US Treasury bonds, which underpin the global financial system. This comes amid escalating tensions with the US after Washington approved an arms shipment to Taiwan, prompting Beijing to vow “resolute countermeasures.” FinancialFreedomReport.org - BDK Code Audit https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2024-q4-code-audit/ - Eclair v0.11.0: Official Bolt 12 Support, Splicing, Liquidity Ads & On-The-Fly Funding Prototypes https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/eclair-v0-11-0/ - Damus Notedeck Alpha Now Available to Purple Subscribers https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/damus-notedeck-v0-2-0/ - Coinbase says to not use VPNs https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/coinbase-asks-users-to-stop-using-vpns-and-ad-blockers/ - Alex Mashinsky: founder of bankrupt crypto firm to plead guilty to fraud https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/03/alex-mashinsky-crypto-fraud-celsius - U.S. Officials Urge Americans to Use Encrypted Messaging Apps https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/u-s-officials-urge-americans-to-use-encrypted-messaging-apps/ - Corporate Transparency Act blocked nationwide by Texas judge https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/corporate-transparency-act-blocked-nationwide-by-texas-court - what bitcoin did relaunches - 1123 days, shoutout to yellow https://x.com/ICOffenderII/status/1864574706583547911 0:00 - Intro 3:52 - Let’s gooooooooo 11:57 - Bitstein video 16:30 - Trump says you’re welcome 18:15 - Shoutout to Yellow 20:29 - Dashboard 27:15 - Strike launches bill pay 30:47 - Putin bitcoin comment and BRICS talk 38:38 - Healthcare assassination 41:41 - HRF Story of the Week 43:34 - Boosts and Primal/Fountain talk 50:47 - Software updates 57:22 - Coinbase says no vpns 1:00:09 - Mashinsky guilty plea 1:08:15 - Marty failed Barstool 1:11:07 - US officials encourage encrypted comms 1:22:34 - Corp Transparency Act blocked 1:27:22 - WBD relaunch 1:29:40 - Get back to work Shoutout to our sponsors: Unchained https://unchained.com/concierge/ Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ Stakwork https://stakwork.ai/ TFTC Merch is Available: Shop Now https://merch.tftc.io/ Join the TFTC Movement: Main YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ Website https://tftc.io/ Twitter https://twitter.com/tftc21 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/ Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Nostr https://primal.net/odell Newsletter https://discreetlog.com/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/
