ISTANBUL, May 25 (Reuters) -Turkish fiscal policy will not add to inflationary pressure as the country begins to experience some disinflationary relief in the second half of the year, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Addressing the Foreign Economic Relations Board, Erdogan said annual inflation should peak in May before cooling, echoing the forecasts of the central bank and offering his latest endorsement of the economic programme.

"We will enter a disinflationary period in the second half of the year. We will not allow for inflationary pressures through fiscal policy," he said.

Annual consumer price inflation was near 70% in April and is expected to touch about 75% this month.

Vitalik Compares the L2 and Ethereum Sharding Visions – Bankless

Today, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin released an analysis of Layer 2s (L2s) and base layer execution sharding in scaling Ethereum, highlighting the key similarities and differences in these approaches.

In his new post, Buterin explored the parallels between L2s and sharding, noting how these approaches similarly aim to handle a large volume of transactions efficiently.

He emphasized that the endgame for both these methods is relying on ZK-SNARKs for computation verification and Data Availability Sampling (DAS) for data verification. Despite these similarities, he went on to explain how there are distinct differences that persist.

Buterin wrapped up by reiterating that while L2s and sharding have their idiosyncracies and are often seen as distinct scaling strategies, they are fundamentally similar in their general technical approaches.

The main difference, he noted, lies in who builds and maintains these components and the level of autonomy they possess. He concluded by emphasizing the need for addressing the coordination challenges of an L2-centric approach to fully realize its potential.

Some people in the Ethereum community still long for the original sharding vision, though as Vitalik's new post demonstrates, Ethereum has taken an approach via L2s that, in effect, is shardingit's just arrived along a different path than was initially planned. While pure sharding has its pros, the flexibility possible with rollups is a big leg up and highlights how Ethereum is now well-suited for development efforts of all stripes.

Shiba Inu: K9 Confirms to Burn 410M KNINE to Honor Vitalik Buterin’s 2021 Shib Burn – The Crypto Basic

The community behind K9 Finance DAO passes a proposal to incinerate 410 million KNINE tokens.

The upcoming burn is K9 Finances way of honoring Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for reducing Shiba Inus circulating supply via the burning of 410 trillion SHIB tokens in May 2021.

In a recent X post, K9 disclosed that voting ended on May 18th, with most community members supporting the proposal to burn 410 million KNINE in honor of Buterin.

K9 took the snapshot for the votes at block height 19,862,183. While 81.66% of the total votes supported the proposal to burn 410 million KNINE tokens, the remaining 18.34% were against the initiative.

It bears mentioning that the community surpassed the quorum for the proposal, which required at least 5 billion KNINE. Interestingly, the community splashed 13 billion KNINE voting on the proposal to honor Buterin SHIBs burn.

As revealed by K9, the 410 million KNINE tokens will be obtained from the marketing allocation of its treasury. Notably, the team behind K9 will send the 410 million KNINE tokens to a dead blockchain-based wallet on May 31st, thus permanently removing them from the circulating supply.

K9, which became a Shiba Inu partner in February, revealed plans to honor Buterin for making SHIB a crypto behemoth.

Recall that Buterin burned 410 trillion SHIB from the 500 trillion tokens (50% of SHIBs total supply) he received as a gift from Shiba Inus pseudonymous supply on May 16th, 2021.

Furthermore, he allocated the remaining 90 trillion tokens for charitable causes. This symbolic gesture helped put Shiba Inu in the limelight as top crypto exchanges proceeded to list the tokens.

Consequently, Shiba Inu registered an all-time high of $0.00008845 five months after Buterin burned the tokens. At the current exchange rate of $0.00002399, Shiba Inu has fallen 72.87% from its previous all-time high.

Despite Shiba Inus massive plunge, several analysts still believe the crypto asset would surpass its previous ATH, potentially hitting $0.001 before the end of this bull cycle.

Hillary Clinton Has Some Tough Words for Democrats, and for Women – The New York Times

Hillary Clinton criticized her fellow Democrats over what she described as a decades-in-the-making failure to protect abortion rights, saying in her first extended interview about the fall of Roe v. Wade that her party underestimated the growing strength of anti-abortion forces until many Democrats were improbably taken by surprise by the landmark Dobbs decision in 2022.

In wide-ranging and unusually frank comments, Mrs. Clinton said Democrats had spent decades in a state of denial that a right enshrined in American life for generations could fall that faith in the courts and legal precedent had made politicians, voters and officials unable to see clearly how the anti-abortion movement was chipping away at abortion rights, restricting access to the procedure and transforming the Supreme Court, until it was too late.

We didnt take it seriously, and we didnt understand the threat, Mrs. Clinton said. Most Democrats, most Americans, did not realize we are in an existential struggle for the future of this country.

She said: We could have done more to fight.

Mrs. Clintons comments came in an interview conducted in late February for a forthcoming book, The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America.

The interview represented Mrs. Clintons most detailed comments on abortion rights since the Supreme Court decision that led to the procedure becoming criminalized or restricted in 21 states. She said not only that her party was complacent but also that if she had been in the Senate at the time she would have worked harder to block confirmation of Trump-appointed justices.

And in a blunt reflection about the role sexism played in her 2016 presidential campaign, she said women were the voters who abandoned her in the final days because she was not perfect. Overhanging the interview was the understanding that had she won the White House, Roe most likely would have remained a bedrock feature of American life. She assigned blame for the fall of Roe broadly but pointedly, and notably spared herself from the critique.
