Fabian (npub1n0s…lahe) explains that the Hot and Media Gallery feeds in Nostur are ranked based on who you follow, so should not be affected by the “fake likes” many users were seeing recently.
In Nostur the Hot feed and Media Gallery are ranked on likes and reposts. If you are wondering if all the fake likes today are messing it up, don’t worry, it’s based only on likes and reposts from people you follow.
WoT fixed this.

LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a) explains how banks are arbitraging the Fed with the BTFP (Bank Term Funding Program).
The Fed's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), the facility that they introduced after the March 2023 banking crisis, now offers lower borrowing rates than the Fed pays in interest on reserve balances.
So, banks are arbitraging this by borrowing from the facility (i.e. from the Fed) at one interest rate, and then depositing that borrowed money with the Fed to earn a higher interest rate, and thus are earning that risk-free spread. They're arbitraging the Fed.
Will the SEC give the Bitcoin ETF a green light by January 10th?

“There is a fight being had right now about the future of Bitcoin and you have to decide which side you’re on.” Listen to independent journalist Whitney Webb (npub1g05…40hv) discuss alternative media, the rise of tyranny, risks of AI and the potential for government and Wall Street’s attempts to control Bitcoin.
I joined What Bitcoin Did to discuss the importance of independent journalism, the challenges of media manipulation and the rise of tyranny. They also talked about the risks of AI, the influence of powerful figures like Elon Musk and the need for public scrutiny, and the potential co-opting of Bitcoin by powerful institutions.—--------------------------
