The post StarkWare CEO Proposed 4% Bitcoin Inflation Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The debate over whether Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap should be lifted has resurfaced after StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson suggested Tuesday that it should replaced with a 4% annual issuance rate. In a post to X on Tuesday, Ben-Sasson said the current 21 million cap “doesn’t make sense” because private keys are lost over time and “as time goes to infinity, all keys will be lost.” Crypto wallet hardware provider Ledger estimated in November that up to 4 million Bitcoin had been burned or permanently lost.

On July 7, Meta unveiled Muse Image, which is the first independent image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). The new image generation capabilities are already incorporated into the Meta AI app, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Facebook and Messenger will gain the same feature in the coming weeks. Interestingly, a new default setting will enable people to use pictures from their public Instagram accounts to create AI images. The settings allow anyone to do so unless they choose to opt out. This change could have an impact on a considerable segment of Instagram users. Instagram reaches a coverage of approximately 3 billion users in 2026. However, it is not specified with accuracy which portion of these accounts remains public. All public accounts have a right-by-default to opt out of the opt-out feature. Thus, to prevent misuse of one’s images, the owne
