- Cryptocurrencies Fail as Economic Uncertainty Hedge, Study Finds
A recent study published in the International Review of Financial Analysis casts doubt on the ability of cryptocurrencies to serve as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty. The research, led by Barbara Będowska-Sójka and colleagues, analyzed the relationship between ten major cryptocurrencies and various measures of economic uncertainty from April 2018 to December 2022.
The study found that while cryptocurrency returns showed some positive correlation with stock market and oil price volatility, they exhibited no significant association with other uncertainty proxies such as geopolitical events, economic policy, and bond markets. Furthermore, the transmission of volatility from uncertainty indices to cryptocurrency markets was generally weak, intensifying only during turbulent periods like the COVID-19 outbreak and the Ukraine war.
These findings challenge the notion that cryptocurrencies can effectively hedge against economic risks, a promise that has been a key driver of their adoption and valuation. The researchers suggest that the pricing of cryptocurrencies remains largely disconnected from economic fundamentals, with speculation and investor sentiment playing a more significant role.
The study's conclusions have important implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and investors. Regulators may need to reconsider their approach to containing risks associated with cryptocurrency markets, while investors should be cautious about relying on crypto assets as a safe haven during times of economic turmoil.
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, further research will be crucial to understanding its complex dynamics and interconnections with the broader economy. For now, however, the study by Będowska-Sójka and her team serves as a timely reminder that the promise of cryptocurrencies as a hedge against uncertainty may be more illusion than reality.

To bring Ethereum to the masses, ZKsync must maintain strong social and technical decentralization guarantees. To remain resilient in the journey ahead, ZKsync depends on ZK Nation, a vibrant community empowered to drive meaningful change through protocol governance.
The ZKsync protocol token, through ZK Nation's onchain governance framework, is designed to empower token holders to delegate, propose protocol upgrades, deliberate, and vote.
More details will be unveiled this week about the ZKsync protocol delegation process, ZKsync’s protocol token allocation, and how you can actively contribute to the evolution of ZKsync.
Welcome to ZK Nation.
- Outskirts of Gusu City and Hanshan Temple,
Midnight toll, and the arrival of the passenger boat.
- River maples, fishing lights, and the sleep of eternal gloom.
- Moon's down, raven's caw, and the frost-filling skies,
- In order to take in a boundless view,
Ascend another floor.
- The white sun behind the mountain falls,
The Yellow River into the seas flows.
- So deep in the forest the sunset glow can cross
That it seems to choose to linger on the moss.
- Raised my head to gaze at the moon,
And lowered it to think of home.
- Thoughts in the Still of the Night,
A pool of moonlight before the bed,
Took it to be frost on the ground.
- Far off I watch the waterfall plunge to the long river
- Sunlight streaming on Incense Stone kindles a violet smoke
- And came down stream in a day
One thousand li to Jiangling.
- I’ve done my last p2p . Goodbye Crypto 💀
- The screams of monkeys on either bank ,
Had scarcely ceased echoing in my ear
- When my skiff had left behind it
Ten thousand ranges of hills.
- Hoeing in the paddy under the mid-day sun,
Sweat dripping to the soil underneath the plant.
- Who knows that the meals in our plates,
Every morsel of them comes with toil and pains.
- Why can't I tell the true shape of Lu-shan?
Because I myself am in the mountain.
- Now that the spring breezes have reverdur'd the south bank,
When will the bright moon see me on my homebound way?
- Beyond the River lies Jingkou, from which Zhongshan
Is but a span of several mountains away.

- But conservatives have long complained that the president should exercise more control over the federal bureaucracy, and Trump in particular has said it needs to be “brought to heel.”
Trump created Schedule F in an [October 2020 executive order](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/26/2020-23780/creating-schedule-f-in-the-excepted-service). Under that order, federal workers involved in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making and policy-advocating positions” — a vague description that would include at least tens of thousands of people — would be stripped of their civil service protections and reclassified as “at-will” appointees, meaning they could be hired or fired for any reason, or none at all.
- Schedule F is a new category, or schedule, of federal workers who are exempt from codified job protections, like being hired and fired based on merit and having the ability to appeal disciplinary action.
The majority of federal civil service employees, from climate scientists to bank examiners to IT specialists, are covered by these protections; some positions, like postal workers and intelligence officers, are currently exempt. That system ensures that experience and skill, rather than political favoritism or personal connections, guide hiring and firing decisions within the federal government.
- I want the @club/collectable club to be a place where you can come to find the best @club/collectable posts on @lens/orb . I have been lightly curating the club feed and have been contemplating being more heavy handed. I want to keep the club free from shills, bots, low value posts and anything that lowers the utility of the club. Would this be something club members would support? Mint to support.
- Donald Trump has no greater enemy than the United States’ federal bureaucracy — what he calls the “deep state.” And he has a plan to bend it to his will if he’s elected in November.
The plan, to create something called “Schedule F,” would make tens of thousands of civil servants easier to fire, fundamentally changing the nature of the federal government — and, some worry, paving the way for authoritarianism.

- Federal employees, political scientists, union leaders and watchdog groups told HuffPost that Schedule F could lead to a “chilling” effect. At-will employment, they said, would make it harder for government workers to raise concerns that go against their bosses’ political loyalties. That could lead to a degradation of public services like disaster relief, financial regulation and the administration of government benefits.
“You can see where it can grind work to a halt, because even people who are trying to do the right thing \[would] be afraid that if they do something wrong, they’ll be out of a job,” said Joe Spielberger, a policy counsel at the Project on Government Oversight who has [raised alarms](https://www.pogo.org/analysis/schedule-f-plan-to-gut-civil-service-puts-seniors-at-risk) over how the implementation of Schedule F would harm key welfare programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Schedule F would be the “fundamental element of an authoritarian agenda,” he said, allowing Trump to take control of the vast federal bureaucracy and reverse generations of reforms.
- The Shenandoah school board voted last month to revert Mountain View High School to its former name, Stonewall Jackson High School, and to revert Honey Run Elementary School to Ashby-Lee Elementary School. Both schools are in Quicksburg, Va.
In a contentious board meeting, opponents of the move — including some current students — noted that the 1959 decision to name the schools after Confederate generals came at a time when Virginia's leaders were fighting to keep the state's schools racially segregated, despite the Supreme Court's landmark 1954 decision in the case of *Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas*. By embracing the Confederate names now, they said, the board would brand their county as a haven for backward and racist thinking.
- Supporters of undoing the 2020 change said that taking Confederate figures' names off the schools was a "knee-jerk" reaction to protests of George Floyd's murder by police. The removal, they said, looked to erase the region's history and silence its majority. Some also said the change had been adopted after little debate and notice. In the end, the board approved changing back to the Confederate names by a 5-1 vote.
On Tuesday, a student who spoke at the NAACP news conference said that the decision made her feel "unwelcome in a place that I go every day, which should never be the case."
Officials from the Shenandoah County School Board did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. The board is slated to hold its monthly meeting on Thursday.
