Hamas-Israeli conflict triggered a rise in interest in crypto assets; Ferrari and Taylor Swift accept Bitcoin payments; Can AI interpret dreams come true? | XWORLD Daily
Israel attack could spark interest in gold, cryptocurrencies and safe-haven assets
The Israel-Hamas conflict is a long-running, deep-rooted dispute between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas group, primarily centered in the Gaza Strip.
The ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Hamas, have inadvertently highlighted some potential positive impacts on cryptocurrencies. First, rising geopolitical tensions may fuel interest in digital assets as safe-haven investments.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are increasingly viewed as ādigital goldā due to their limited supply and decentralization, making them an attractive option for investors seeking refuge in uncertain times.
As traditional safe-haven assets such as gold and the U.S. dollar face challenges, cryptocurrencies may emerge as alternative stores of value.
Second, the conflict highlights the utility of cryptocurrencies in facilitating cross-border transactions and providing financial services to individuals affected by political unrest.
In regions with strict capital controls or unstable financial systems, cryptocurrencies can provide a means to preserve wealth and conduct international trade outside of the traditional banking system.
The conflict underscores the need for borderless and censorship-resistant financial instruments, reinforcing the role of cryptocurrencies in financial inclusion and resilience in areas of geopolitical tension.
The conflict in the Middle East indirectly demonstrates how cryptocurrencies can facilitate global investment and financial empowerment in crisis-affected regions.
SkyBridge Capital founder: The Federal Reserve system has fundamentally collapsed, and Bitcoinās market value may reach $15 trillion
Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital, said in an interview that although the Fed is performing well, the system in which the Fed operates is fundamentally broken. He cited concerns about the devaluation of fiat currencies and said the U.S. government was spending more than it was taking in.
He explained that this situation is dangerous because the borrowed money must be repaid with more dollars, which could lead to a severe economic recession. Therefore, he concluded that the Fed would eventually find itself in trouble due to a system breakdown.
As a solution, he proposed an alternative, an immutable asset with clear scarcity that is essentially a transparent transaction ledger. He pointed out that no asset has such characteristics except Bitcoin, which he believes is evolving into a store of value that may be more valuable than gold.
He predicted that in the event of a collapse of the U.S. financial system, Bitcoinās market capitalization would reach $15 trillion.

New tattoo machine can imprint NFTs on arms, allowing artists to collect royalties
Tattoo robots capable of delivering computer-generated ink to humans have been around for years, but a new device goes a step further by offering designs that are also stored on the blockchain, allowing creators to collect royalties.
An Austin-based company called Blackdot launched a device of the same name and counts NFT pioneer Tyler Hobbs as one of its backers.
āWhen I started to understand what the Blackout device was capable of, the level of precision and detail it achieved was amazing,ā Hobbs said. āIt seemed like a natural fit, this fusion of the digital and the human, bringing the human and the machine together in some way, which is really a great passion of mine for art, so the opportunity to work with Blackdot came to me. Itās really exciting.ā
Blackdot plans to offer custom designs from a number of different artists who will create the tattoos, which the recipient will also own as NFTs.

Generative AI makes it easier for ordinary people to create art and other content. It also makes it easier to create something truly wild and controversial, like an AI-generated image of SpongeBob SquarePants or Nintendoās Kirby flying a jetliner into the World Trade Center.
Social media platforms have been flooded with images of stickers purportedly created using Facebookās AI-powered sticker generator. These include images of Elmo brandishing a knife, Mickey Mouse in a toilet, Wario and Luigi from the Super Mario series holding rifles, and even scantily clad Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau image.

The content of our dreams can reveal a lot about ourselves, what is going on in our lives, and our subconscious concerns. To tap into these insights, Prophetic is developing a ānon-invasiveā neural device to induce and stabilize lucid dreams, in which dreamers are aware that they are dreaming.
āIf you look at the history of prophets, whether itās Abraham, Muhammad or Buddha, they all received prophetic wisdom from dreams,ā said Prophetic co-founder Eric Wollberg. āThe goal here is to make anyone a prophet and give people access to prophetic knowledge, wisdom and interface.ā
āWe believe that lucid dreaming is a particle accelerator of consciousness: a state that allows objective observation of the neural basis of self-awareness, (meta)cognition and sensory perception,ā Prophetic said.
