Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

He said the partnership will concentrate on shipbuilding, semiconductors, secondary batteries, biotechnology, and energy.Lee and Lam also agreed to deepen cooperation in critical minerals, defense and infrastructure during talks on Monday.&nbsp;South Korean companies are expected to participate in Vietnam's major infrastructure projects, including the development of new cities, high-speed rail systems, and nuclear power plants.

strategy.South KoreaSouth Korea’s top trade official said Monday that the country may reach an “agreement in principle” with the U.S. on tariffs before the Aug. 1 deadline, according to local media cited by&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"

following high-level talks in Washington last week, said “twenty days are not enough to come up with a perfect treaty that contains every detail,” and noted “considerable progress” on industrial cooperation.Yeo said that South Korea may need to make a “strategic judgment” on&nbsp;the agriculture and livestock sectors, suggesting that while “sensitive” areas may require protection, some aspects could be considered within the broader deal framework.&nbsp;He added that South Korea is working to avoid “unfair” U.S. tariffs on autos and steel that could damage industrial ties with its closest security ally.Trump said, “South Korea wants to make a deal right now,” without providing details.South Korea is hoping to avoid a 25% tariff set to begin Aug. 1, after a delayed start to negotiations following President Lee Jae-myung’s June 4 inauguration.&nbsp;According to Korea Customs Service data, South Korea recorded a $55.6 billion trade surplus with the U.S. in 2024, up 25% from the prior year due to rising car exports.ThailandIn Thailand, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said Monday the government is considering zero tariffs on more U.S. imports, according

Minister Pham Minh Chinh said Friday that the U.S. and Vietnam have reached a consensus on a tariff deal framework, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"

nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-11/vietnam-surprised-by-trump-tariff-announcement-seeks-lower-rate">reportedly</a> surprised by Trump’s recent announcement of a 20% tariff deal, and the country is now supposedly seeking a lower rate.&nbsp;Chinh urged U.S. businesses to support a detailed agreement on product-level terms, oppose trade defense actions against Vietnamese goods, and press the U.S. to recognize Vietnam as a market economy.JapanMeanwhile, tensions have also emerged in U.S.-Japan trade relations.&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/rubio-says-no-drama-or-division-us-relations-with-japan-2025-07-11/">reported</a> Friday that the U.S. Secretary of

areas like security, food, and energy.Trump announced a 25% tariff on Japanese imports last week.&nbsp;Japanese media previously reported the U.S. had asked Japan and other Asian allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, which the Financial Times said led to Japan canceling a key bilateral defense and foreign ministers meeting.Rubio rejected claims of pressure, saying Washington merely encouraged Tokyo to invest in certain capabilities.He added that Japan's push for greater military autonomy was welcomed by the U.S. “Anyone looking for drama or division... shouldn’t be doing it,”
