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.

Analysts are optimistic about Medtronic (MDT) after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed to cover renal denervation for uncontrolled hypertension.CMS on Thursday posted its proposed decision memo, stating that it proposes to cover radiofrequency renal denervation and ultrasound renal denervation for uncontrolled hypertension. The agency is now seeking comments on its proposed decision, and a final decision is expected by October 8.Renal denervation (RDN) is a new technology that uses catheters placed into the renal (kidney) arteries to ablate, or destroy, the renal sympathetic nerves to reduce blood pressure. RDN is intended to complement medications and lifestyle changes in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.Hypertension can lead to serious problems such as heart attack and stroke, the agency noted.Medtronic, the medical technology provider, has an RDN system called Symplicity Spyral, which was granted FDA premarket approval in November 2023. The system disrupts the overactive sympathetic signaling between the kidneys and brain to reduce blood pressure.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MDT">MDT shares </a>were trading 1% higher at the time of writing.&nbsp;Several analysts reacted to the news:<ul style="list-style-type:square;"><li>Stifel maintains a ‘Hold’ rating and $87 price target on Medtronic shares. The Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services' initial proposal for renal denervation reimbursement "seems positive," the firm noted.</li><li>JPMorgan, meanwhile, keeps a ‘Neutral’ rating on Medtronic. JPMorgan told investors in a research note that there is no arguing that a broad national coverage decision for renal denervation is a win for Medtronic. This will enable the company to begin targeting the potentially multi-billion-dollar opportunity once the final rule is released in October, according to the analyst. However, JPMorgan believes it will "take some time to get there" as the company will need to educate primary care physicians and general cardiologists.</li><li>BTIG analyst Ryan Zimmerman keeps a ‘Neutral’ rating on Medtronic.
