A German lawmaker criticized the government's ongoing selling spree of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), a move that has put significant downward pressure on the world's largest cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Joana Cotar, a member of the German Bundestag, took to X Thursday to label the large-scale selling of state-owned Bitcoin as "insensible and counterproductive."
She argued that Bitcoin could be effectively used as a strategic reserve currency instead, as is being debated in many countries, including the U.S.

The MP appealed to high-ranking government officials including Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Finance Minister Christian Lindner to look into these concerns and invited them to attend the upcoming "Bitcoin Strategies for Nation States" event, which will focus on ways to use Bitcoin to improve the economy&#8217;s financial health.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The German government has liquidated more than 7,000 Bitcoins, worth $387 million, since June 19, <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany">according </a>to blockchain analytics firm Arkham.&nbsp;
The government-linked wallet still had 42, 740 Bitcoins at the time of writing, worth $2.34 billion, exacerbating concerns of further sell-offs and price drops.&nbsp;
These assets were confiscated from the operators of Movie2k.to, a notorious film piracy website active in 2013. A total of 50,000 Bitcoins were seized as part of this operation.

Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun Offers To Buy Bitcoin Off-Market From German Government To Minimize Price Impact, Lawmaker Slams Authorities For Selling

Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, shared his take on the cognitive decline of former President Ronald Reagan during his second term, seemingly comparing it with ongoing concerns over President Joe Biden&#8217;s condition,
What Happened: On Independence Day, Novogratz took to X, formerly Twitter, to compare Reagan&#8217;s medical condition to the current political climate, sparking a debate on the ethics of concealing such information from the public.
Novogratz wrote, &#8220;I remember the last few years of Reagan's second term when there was real speculation that he was missing a step, was suffering cognitive decline&#8230; we can debate if it was ethical that Nancy and his advisors hid that from us.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I remember the last few years of Reagan's second term when there was real speculation that he was missing a step, was suffering cognitive decline He fell asleep at a meeting with the pope, botched a debate, etc. we can debate if it was ethical that Nancy and his advisors hid…
&mdash; Mike Novogratz (@novogratz) <a href="https://twitter.com/novogratz/status/1808892994516295819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 4, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
He did, however, point out that Reagan did not seek re-election and was diagnosed with Alzheimer&#8217;s four years later.
Novogratz&#8217;s shots were seemingly fired toward incumbent President Joe Biden amid questions over his ability to lead the Democratic party in the upcoming presidential election.&nbsp;In fact, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39620336/biden-contemplates-future-in-2024-race-after-poor-debate-showing-report">reports suggest that Biden himself </a>is contemplating his candidacy after a subpar presidential debate last week.

Why It Matters: Novogratz&#8217;s comments come at a time when he has been vocal about the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. He recently expressed optimism about the future of digital assets legislation,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39620095/mike-novogratz-were-going-to-get-positive-crypto-legislation-no-matter-who-wins"> regardless of the election outcome</a>, saying, &#8220;No matter who wins the next election, we're going to get positive crypto legislation, I know that.&#8221;
A well-known cryptocurreny bull, Mike Novogratz also predicted a bullish future for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). Last month, he reiterated his prediction that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39169067/mike-novogratz-predicts-bitcoin-to-100k-by-the-end-of-2024">Bitcoin would reach $100,000 by the end of 2024</a>, citing regulatory tailwinds and increased institutional adoption as catalysts.

Bitcoin Bull Mike Novogratz Brings Up Reagan Amid Question Mark Hanging Over Biden's Candidacy: 'Power Is A Strange Drug'

Jameson Lopp, a software engineer and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advocate, while highlighting two significant busts involving the theft of Bitcoin mining equipment, questioned the objectives of the robbers behind doing so.
What Happened: Lopp took to X on Thursday to share news of two separate arrests made in connection with the theft of Bitcoin mining hardware. One arrest occurred in Los Angeles, while the other took place in Baton Rouge. Lopp pointed out the folly of such thefts, noting that the stolen devices quickly depreciate in value when not in use.
The Los Angeles Police Department recovered $579,000 worth of stolen Bitcoin mining computers and arrested a suspect. In the second case, the Baton Rouge Police Department unearthed 247 stolen machines and booked the suspect for illegal possession of stolen property.

Why It Matters: The theft of Bitcoin mining equipment is a growing concern in the cryptocurrency community. 
These machines, which are used to solve complex mathematical problems to earn Bitcoin, are expensive and in high demand. However, as Lopp pointed out, their value rapidly decreases when they are not in use, making the thefts somewhat futile.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg celebrated the Fourth of July, surfing in a suit with a beer in hand and the American flag waving, reminding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21849969/oh-the-cringe-the-memes-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-shares-patriotic-surfing-video-in-honor-of-four">people about his 2021 video</a>.
The celebration was shared through a video on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/488826550181525">Facebook</a> and Instagram.
What Happened: The latest video of the Meta CEO shared on Facebook and Instagram, showcased him on a hydrofoil, donning a tuxedo, a chain necklace, and what seemed to be a pair of Meta Ray-Bans. The video also featured Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s &#8220;Born in the USA&#8221; as the soundtrack.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: This year&#8217;s celebration is a shift from Zuckerberg&#8217;s infamous sunscreen look that was made public in 2020, where he smeared his face to avoid paparazzi attention, a move that went viral instead.
In 2021 also, Zuckerberg posted a video on July 4 while surfing that quickly became a topic of discussion and was turned into a meme. The video at the time had John Denver's &#8220;Take Me Home, Country Roads,&#8221; as a soundtrack, a detail that did not go unnoticed by social media users.
Aside from his role as the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the worl<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/05/39005559/5-mark-zuckerberg-hobbies-that-you-can-adopt-without-spending-much">d, Zuckerberg is known for his passionate hobbies</a>. He has often credited his side projects for teaching him more than his college courses ever did, highlighting their role in skill development and innovation.

Mark Zuckerberg Recreates His Cringe Fourth Of July Video From 2021, But This Time With Extra Swagger: 'Happy Birthday, America'

The cryptocurrency market bled profusely Thursday, as investors shuddered about the movement of billions of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ahead of a probable sell-off.

What Happened: Bitcoin nosedived to the $57,000 zone, its lowest since Feb. 28. Since the beginning of this week, the world's largest digital asset has slumped 9.5%, nearly 21% down from its all-time high clocked earlier this year.
The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, also crashed to a six-week low, erasing all the gains made since the hype of spot ETF approvals in mid-May.&nbsp;
The sell-offs were precipitated by the<a href="https://x.com/ArkhamIntel/status/1809023951932162227"> movement of 47,228 Bitcoin, worth $2.7 billion</a>, by defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox from a cold wallet to a new wallet, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39577189/will-mt-gox-really-dump-9b-in-bitcoin-on-the-market">possibly in preparation for payouts to its creditors</a>.
The slump forced the largest wave of liquidations since mid-April, as $541.45 million in future contracts was wiped out in the last 24 hours. Long liquidations accounted for a whopping $472 million.
Bitcoin's Open Interest plunged 7% in the last 24 hours. A fall in price, coming alongside a fall in OI, is viewed by some analysts as a good sign because they think the downtrend will end once all long sellers have closed their positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index flashed a "Fear" signal, implying that investors were bearish on the market prospects. But such conditions also provide buying opportunity for bold dip buyers.&nbsp;

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez sounded a bearish alarm, with more potential downsides to follow for Bitcoin.&nbsp;
"Bitcoin closing below $57,000 could spell trouble, with potential support only at $51,000," Martinez stated.&nbsp;
"If BTC can break past this level, the next significant target is $78,700," Martinez explained.&nbsp;

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin In Full Meltdown As Mt.Gox Moves $2.7B To New Wallet: King Crypto Decline To $51K Feared By Analyst

In a recent leaked video, former President Donald Trump has made unfounded allegations about President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, causing a stir.
What Happened: Reuters reported, citing The Daily Beast, on Thursday that Trump was filmed at his golf course making baseless claims about having forced Biden out of the presidential race. He also disparaged Harris, who is expected to succeed Biden if he were to withdraw. In the video, Trump is heard saying, &#8220;He&#8217;s quitting the race &#8230; I got him out,&#8221; and then proceeds to criticize Harris, stating, &#8220;She&#8217;s so bad, she&#8217;s so pathetic, she&#8217;s just so f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing bad.&#8221;
Despite Trump&#8217;s assertions, Biden, 81, confirmed on Wednesday that he is still in the race. His campaign responded to Trump&#8217;s remarks with a statement from spokesperson Sarafina Chitika, highlighting Trump&#8217;s own controversial actions and behaviors.
Trump&#8217;s campaign defended his statements, with co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita asserting, &#8220;Nothing in this video is incorrect.&#8221; The video was reportedly confirmed to have been filmed at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump's Unfounded Claims About Kamala Harris Stir Controversy: 'She's So Bad, She's So Pathetic'

In a surprising revelation, former Obama administration official, Van Jones, has indicated that Democrats are privately considering the replacement of President Joe Biden.
What Happened: Jones disclosed that the internal discussion among Democrats is focused on &#8220;how&#8221; to replace Biden, not &#8220;whether&#8221;. He added that the Democrats defending Biden publicly are having &#8220;completely different&#8221; discussions behind closed doors. This comes amid rising apprehensions within the party about Biden&#8217;s standing as the presumptive nominee, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4755101-van-jones-democrats-how-to-replace-joe-biden/">reported</a> The Hill.
Jones described a &#8220;full-scale panic&#8221; behind the scenes, with legal memos and PDFs being shared on WhatsApp as party members explore possible options for Biden&#8217;s replacement while ensuring he feels respected.
According to Jones, Democrats are assuming that Vice President Kamala Harris would be the successor for the top spot. The question of who should be Harris&#8217;s vice president is also under consideration.
Although Jones commended Biden as &#8220;a great candidate&#8221;, he stressed that Democrats must be responsible in determining the best path forward. He suggested that while Biden loves the country and has given his all, he may not be able to cross the finish line.

Obama-Era Official Says Democrats Discussing 'How' To Replace Biden: 'Full-Scale Panic' Behind The Scenes

Whistleblower Edward Snowden&#8217;s Fourth of July social media post reminds Americans of the revolutionary origins of the holiday, sparking a deeper conversation about government power.
What Happened: On Thursday, Snowden, former NSA contractor, took to X to share a thought-provoking message. He urged his followers to remember the historical context of Independence Day, stating, &#8220;As you celebrate the Fourth with your family, remember what it is that the holiday commemorates: shooting at the government. &#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8;&#x1f386;&#8221;.

Trump: New Poll Shows President Still Very Much In Race Despite Debate Fiasco But Final Outcome</a>
This post follows a series of comments made by Snowden earlier this year, where he expressed concerns over the erosion of civil liberties and the increasing power of the government.
Why It Matters: Snowden&#8217;s tweet draws attention to the ongoing debate about the balance of power between citizens and their government. 
In January, Snowden expressed his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36626089/collapse-of-the-american-century-snowden-blames-gold-standard-abandonment-union-busting-and-post-911">views on the perceived decline</a> of the &#8216;American Century,&#8217; attributing it to factors such as the abandonment of the gold standard, union busting, and the erosion of liberties post-9/11. His tweet on Independence Day seems to be a continuation of his commentary on the state of American democracy. 
In February, Snowden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37281732/edward-snowden-thinks-people-should-outrage-more-over-drone-swarms-and-military-robots-than-expressi">voiced his concerns</a> over the misuse of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, arguing that software engineers were being &#8220;henpecked&#8221; by an aggressively ignorant crowd&#8217;s &#8220;agenda.&#8221; 
&#8220;People should spend more time agitating against drone swarms and military robots—which are already killing people—than they do trying to cripple LLM chatbots and diffusion models,&#8221; said Snowden at the time.

Edward Snowden Reminds Americans About Origins Of The Fourth Of July Holiday: 'Shooting At The Government'

Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, recently expressed her concerns about Donald Trump&#8217;s potential reelection, warning of the threat he poses to democracy.
What Happened: On Thursday, Harris took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice her apprehensions about Trump&#8217;s intentions if reelected. She stated, &#8220;If reelected, Trump has vowed to be a dictator on day one and openly said he intends to weaponize the Department of Justice against his enemies.&#8221;

$100 Invested In Raymond James Finl 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Delta 8 THC — popularly known as "intoxicating hemp" — regulation bills were voted on in the New Jersey l<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thc">egislature on July 1</a>. 
The bills passed in both the Assembly and State Senate, with amendments allowing liquor stores to sell hemp drinks after obtaining proper permission. To this end, the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) must now set up new rules and issue a special license.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legalization and Licensing</h3>
<a href="https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/S3235/bill-text?f=S3500&amp;n=3235_R3">Bill S3235</a> regulates the production and sale of certain intoxicating hemp products. Originally set to regulate a demand covered by dispensaries, the legislature made amendments to allow big alcohol to compete. 
Now the state&#8217;s CRC will oversee the licensing process for liquor stores to sell hemp drinks together with their usual offer. Although expedited, the approval of the bill broadly changes the landscape for the adult use of hemp products. 
On the bright site, the regulation will help ensure products are tested and meet quality standards. In this manner, New Jersey has addressed the big issue of how to deal with Delta 8 synthetic compounds.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Amendments Favoring the Alcohol Industry</h3>
The amendments allowing liquor stores to sell hemp drinks have sparked significant debate. This move is seen as a win for the alcohol industry, giving them a new product line and potentially increasing their customer base. 
However, this amendment has faced criticism from cannabis advocates. They argue that it undermines the specialized regulatory framework intended for cannabis products. The bill specifies that hemp products cannot contain more than 0.5 milligrams of total THC per serving and 2.5 milligrams of total THC per package.
&#8220;Safeguarding drinking products is only what the amendment talks about,&#8221; defended State Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz. Yet, opponents like Susanna P. Short argue, &#8220;I have yet to hear a compelling argument why liquor stores need to participate in the sale of THC.&#8221;, <a href="https://headynj.com/politics/nj-delta-8-thc-intoxicating-hemp-bills-pass-legislative-committees/">reported</a> HeadyNJ.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Dispensaries Vs Liquor Stores</h3>
At the hearing, a heated debate took place. Among others, Bill Caruso supported the bill but opposed the liquor amendment. He emphasized the need for the NJCRC to regulate THC amounts and criticized the unregulated sale of Delta 8 THC hemp in liquor stores. 
&#8220;This is being sold right now, unregulated, untested, and to children even in liquor stores,&#8221; Caruso exclaimed. "Do the right thing here. Pass the bill in front of you as is. Work on separate legislation to figure out how the liquor industry comes into the cannabis world properly tested, safe, regulated, and without the threat of being sold to kids.&#8221;
Scott Rudder, President of NJCBA, echoed concerns about public safety and the inconsistency in product ingredients. &#8220;There is no such thing as intoxicating hemp,&#8221; Rudder argued, addressing that the limited amount of THC on the beverages won&#8217;t give you that much of a high.
Finally, lobbyists for the alcohol industry emerged victorious. Now, the CRC will have the task of issuing special licenses and controlling liquor stores aiming to sell the product.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Regulatory Debate Surrounding Delta 8</h3>
There is a bigger picture to the whole situation.
Delta 8 THC remains broadly unregulated across the U.S., making it widely available, even in states where adult-use cannabis is illegal. 
Although it&#8217;s safe to say that the primary concern with Delta 8 is the lack of controlled manufacturing processes, we also don&#8217;t know that much about the Delta 8 compound itself. Delta 8 proliferated after a loop whole in Farm Bill 2018 led to hemp manufacturers producing a chemical synthesis of a THC molecule that is scarce in the hemp plant, but can be concentrated in a lab.
Delta 9, unlike Delta 8 THC, is what we call &#8220;just THC.&#8221;It&#8217;s naturally present in high quantities in cannabis flowers, federally forbidden, and (hopefully, not for much longer) scheduled as a substance controlled by the DEA.
Thus, the unregulated status of Delta 8 raises safety issues since the compound is not yet so broadly studied. Products can be mislabelled and contain harmful contaminants. 
As Delta 8 is synthetically produced, this adds another layer of complexity. Finally, when unregulated, Delta 8 products end up in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38226058/is-gas-station-weed-on-its-way-out-u-s-cannabis-council-proposes-regulation-of-delta-8-texas-wan">gas stations</a>, and it&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30442687/controversial-delta-8-thc-products-garner-2b-in-sales-over-2-years-so-whats-the-problem">profitable business</a>.
Several states have taken different approaches to Delta 8 situation. States like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/21/11/23881344/its-official-new-york-bans-delta-8-thc-products-allows-hemp-flower-sales">New York </a>and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/21/05/21262790/colorado-and-new-york-join-other-states-banning-hemp-based-delta-8-thc">Colorado</a> have banned it outright, citing safety concerns and the need for better regulation. South Dakota has also banned the sale of Delta 8 and other unregulated hemp products. 
Other states, such as Connecticut have imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39623568/minnesotas-expungement-new-medical-marijuana-plan-nevada-disqualifies-cannabis-lounges-connectic">severe restrictions</a>, while some have done nothing, allowing the product to remain in a legal gray area. New Jersey is now allowing it for adult-use beverages.
