The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut the key borrowing rate by 25 basis points, bringing down the federal funds rate to the 4% to 4.25% range, in line with market expectations.This is the first rate cut announced by the Fed in 2025.&nbsp;The rate reduction comes at a time when inflation hasn’t shown any signs of a significant rise.&nbsp;On Tuesday,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-fed-should-be-independent-should-listen-to-smart-people-like-me/chwylmVRdzX">President Donald Trump stated</a> that while the Fed should be independent, it should also listen to “smart people” like himself.The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) highlighted the moderation in economic activity. It also touched upon the weakness in the labor market, stating that “job gains have slowed” while noting that inflation remains “elevated.”“Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen,” the FOMC said.The Committee voted 11-to-1 to cut rates by 25 bps, with President Trump’s pick and newly-confirmed Governor, Stephen Miran, voting for a 50 bps cut.&nbsp;According to the dot plot projections, one of the votes was in favor of a 125 bps cut this year. Overall, nine of the 19 participants favored one additional cut, while 10 voted in favor of two cuts.Earlier, President Trump called on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to be open to feedback and to listen to him. “If you look, all the economists got it wrong, I got it right along with some other people out of a hundred. So they should listen to people that are smart, there’s nothing wrong with that, but they have to make their own choice. But they should listen,” Trump told reporters at the White House.Meanwhile, U.S. equities edged lower in Wednesday’s midday trade.

Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.
