Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Bitcoin's recent price correction in the wake of ambiguous news surrounding SpaceX's holdings of Bitcoin, and whether they were completely sold off, or just written down. Either way, it doesn't matter. Elon has been a net negative for Bitcoin, with his Bitcoin energy FUD and pumping of DOGE. Elon doesn't even understand why BTC is faster than DOGE when it comes to final settlement guarantees. As we enter a seasonally weak time for risk assets, Bitcoin may continue to move lower, or it may not. My plan is to continue to dollar cost average and to ignore the fiat price volatility of Bitcoin. The most important point is that BTC continues to make its way from weak hands to strong hands. Those strong hands are highly ideological Bitcoiners like myself who run their own nodes to help to enforce the consensus rules. This is how Bitcoin fiat price dumps help to strengthen the protocol and its social layer. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Vitalik Buterin's revelation that all Ethereum rollups and Layer 2s currently contain backdoors that can be used by developers to change or interfere with the protocol. This is bad for decentralization and censorship resistance, since it means that VCs and insiders (or governments applying pressure to them) can censor transactions or freeze funds whenever they choose. To add injury to insult, the Ethereum base layer is already profoundly compromised and unreliable: 1) Will Vitalik, Joe Lubin, and Ethereum insiders fork Ethereum again and roll back history to erase transactions as they did after the 2016 DAO hack? 2) Beneficiaries of Ethereum's huge premine can now even more easily censor transactions or blocks now that Ethereum has moved to proof of stake (unlike proof of work, the more coins you own under proof of stake, the more control you have) 3) US government censorship (OFAC compliance) of transactions as demonstrated by MEV Watch. Unlike Ethereum rollups, the Lightning Network is: NOT centralized NOT controlled by Lightning Labs NOT controlled by VCs NOT controlled by a centralized multi-sig that can be used to censor you or rug you. There's only one crypto asset that started out highly centralized (on the computers of Satoshi and Hal Finney), and rapidly became decentralized (i.e. not subject to the control of a small group of insiders). And that's Bitcoin. It had an immaculate conception, seeded by an unknown founder who disappeared. Bitcoin had: -- Zero premine -- Zero initial economic value -- Zero venture capitalist investors There is no second best. That's what makes investing in BTC so great: there are literally no real competitors. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin fixes big government and its overreach by helping to defund it and normalize its size vs the overall economy. When government is too big, everything becomes politicized, as people seek to weaponize the government against their enemies or use it as a slush fund for their business. Under a Bitcoin standard, governments will need to persuade or force you (easier said than done) to give them some Bitcoin to fund their operations. If the government wants to "print up some more BTC," it will need to mine like everyone else. It won't be able to just print up fiat and steal from savers through a stealth inflation tax. Bitcoin fixes government overreach by defunding it. If the people decide that something is worth doing it, they will choose to fund it. Bureaucrats won't be able to fund non-economically smart projects (like renewables or forever wars) by diluting savers through money printing. The size of government and its oversized impact on the economy will shrink. No longer will every fight or quarrel be escalated to the political level, simply because there won't be enough money at the political level to weaponize the US government against your enemies.

Join Bitcoin University Premium today: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the risks of trading in and out of Bitcoin, as well as whether it makes post-tax sense to convert some of your Bitcoin holdings into a productive asset or an asset with yield, like stocks, bonds, rental properties, or businesses. I also discuss how to create a "synthetic dividend" for any asset, including Bitcoin. Just as it never makes sense to trade back into a hyperinflationary currency like the Turkish lira or Argentine peso, it probably doesn't make sense to liquidate your Bitcoin for USD. Real estate, stocks, and bonds are great, but they are less portable and more subject to confiscation risks than Bitcoin. There is also the risk that they do not end up preserving your purchasing power as well as Bitcoin. Bitcoin allows one to sidestep operational risk and confiscation, as well as elude regulatory risk thanks to Bitcoin's portability and confiscation resistance. Bitcoin is the apex predator of assets. Moving out of it into anything else is more "di-worsification" than diversification, in my opinion. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the dangers of "taking profits" on your Bitcoin. Converting a really strong asset into a weaker asset is never a good idea-- and it's an especially bad idea against the backdrop of high inflation. If you put your investment profits into a bank, your money can be frozen or hair-cut as part of a bank bail-in. If you invest your profits in any asset that doesn't keep up with the high inflation, you risk once again losing some or all of your purchasing power. Even buying hard assets like a house can be a mistake, due to the high maintenance and replacement costs that come with high inflation. The whole idea of even wanting to "take profits" demonstrates that someone is still trapped in a fiat mindset. Learn to value your wealth in Bitcoin. Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the many similarities between Vitalik Buterin and Sam Bankman-Fried, as well as Vitalik's attempted revisionist history of the topic. I believe that time will show Vitalik to be just as ethically-challenged as SBF. "Crypto with a leader" is a really bad idea. Fortunately, Satoshi had the foresight and humility to disappear, so we don't have to worry about his personal flaws affecting people's views of the Bitcoin protocol. Not investment advice!

Learn how to make Bitcoin your bank: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss why the world needs Bitcoin, rather than fiat money, gold, real estate, or other cryptocurrencies. Unlike these other assets, Bitcoin allows you to save for the future, without having to worry about governments or corporations seizing your money or destroying its purchasing power through money printing. If your money can be censored or frozen, then it's impossible to have free speech or freedom to protest government or corporate policies. Unlike Ethereum, XRP, Cardano and all other altcoins, Bitcoin cannot be changed or controlled by a small group of people. Bitcoin is extremely safe, stable, base layer money. Bitcoin frees people to pursue their hopes and dreams. Bitcoin frees human culture from monetary enslavement. Bitcoin allows the arts and sciences to flourish without being held captive by government financing, interference, and control. Bitcoin allows regular people to get on with their lives and spend time with their families, instead of being glued to their computer checking their stock portfolios, monitoring massaged government economic reports, or worrying about the latest bank failures. Bitcoin is freedom money for you and me. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

PayPal management also seems to have forgotten that US regulators do NOT want on-shore USD stablecoins.

This is definitely bad news for Ripple and XRP, and we will continue to see the repercussions in future rulings.

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the Fitch US debt downgrade, and what it means for the future of the US dollar as global reserve currency, as well as its purchasing power. Will the US do a hard default on its debt (i.e. fail pay interest or principal)? No-- because it doesn't need to. The Fed can print up new money to buy new US debt, which can then be used to pay down old debt ("rolling the debt"). The US will continue the soft default that it has been in since at least 1971, when Nixon closed the gold window. Purchasing power of USD against real goods and services will continue to plummet. Unlike US Treasuries and US dollars, Bitcoin has: 1) Zero counter-party risk 2) Zero debasement risk Bitcoin is a scarce digital bearer asset, not the liability of a spendthrift, geriatric government.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss both the Fedimint protocol and Fedi the company to see how federations might be used to scale Bitcoin to billions of users. Fedi's software allows you to set up a "federation" controlled by trusted members of your community called "guardians." Or you can use the open-source Fedimint protocol for free and write your own software that does this. A federation is a place for a real-world community (like a village, neighborhood, extended family, group of artisans or farmers, etc) to gather online to trade goods and services, message each other, store individual or community data in an encrypted manner, etc. Think of it as a cross between a community bank and a Facebook group, but much better because it is run by local people who are much easier to trust than bankers or large tech companies. Let's say you join your local village "federation" by simply downloading the Fedi app on your phone and then scanning a QR code invite from your community. You may also choose to send in 100,000 sats (1 Bitcoin= 100 million sats), which is about $30 today. Those sats immediately get secured by the multi-sig setup on-chain and then you are issued e-cash (also denominated in sats) that you can use to pay people inside of the federation. Now you can use that e-cash to pay the local butcher, farmer, artist, or family member who are also part of the federation. Those e-cash payments within the federation are basically free and instant. If your phone is offline, you can still pay people successfully using this e-cash, since Chaumian e-cash is a bearer asset. That's one answer to people who wonder how Bitcoin might work if the local internet is down. Note that this e-cash is not an altcoin-- it can at all times be cryptographically proven to be fully backed by real BTC that is being held in that multi-sig address by the federation. At any time you want, you can ask the guardians to convert your unspent e-cash into sats and withdraw it to self-custody either through an on-chain payment or using the Lightning Network. Now imagine a world of thousands of federations (different communities) each linked to each other using the Lightning Network. Here's another plus: guardians of the federation CANNOT see how much Bitcoin you hold inside the fedimint or what transactions you are making with people inside of the federation. This is what we mean by making Bitcoin usage more private at higher layers. If successful, Fedimint and federations will be one more tool in our toolbox of ways to increase global Bitcoin adoption.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the recent SEC lawsuit against Richard Heart, the founder of HEX and PulseChain, as well as a possible incoming lawsuit against Vitalik Buterin, Joe Lubin, and the Ethereum project. The latter appears to be even more likely, now that we've learned that the SEC considers all crypto except for Bitcoin to be a security-- per Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's discussions with the SEC before they were sued. HEX, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies clearly pass the Howey Test, and I expect this to eventually be the overwhelming consensus that emerges from the US courts. Holders of ETH will almost certainly end up as financially rekt as holders of HEX have been. As a unique digital commodity, Bitcoin stands and will continue to stand in a class of its own.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss why access to banks is akin to access to public utilities like water and electricity and thus should not be politicized. Banks are a weird hybrid of public and private elements. They receive frequent bailouts, in which the losses are socialized, while the profits during good times are privatized. Banks also frequently receive sweetheart deals, where they get all of the upside, while the public is left paying for the downside. For these reasons and more, banks should not be allowed to ban people or close their accounts due to their political beliefs. Access to banking services and fair money is a universal human right. Bitcoin runs on decentralized proof of work, because this ensures that Bitcoin cannot be controlled or captured by anyone. It is what makes Bitcoin neutral money that anyone can use without being censored or bullied. You can safely ignore mining, hash rates, block times, etc and just let Bank of America run your medium of exchange for you-- but then your money is subject to capture, censorship, and control.

This all gives the lie to those first-world privileged people who say: "Bitcoin has no use cases except for speculation and gambling" People who say things like this must be blissfully unaware that money and banks have been and will continue to be weaponized against people to stifle free speech, to control the political opposition, and ultimately to control whole populations (like the CCP does to China). The coming global digital prison will include: Movement passports Medical passports Internet passports Money passports (CBDCs) Don't toe the party line? All of your money will be instantly frozen by the central bank. People who value their freedom might want to get their hands on some Bitcoin before CBDCs are rolled out globally.

Not only has the company exploited poor people from developing countries, but the biometric data that they are collecting can be used to help to put humanity into a digital prison that is controlled by a few tech elite. We CANNOT allow ourselves to be put into a digital prison of CBDCs, movement passports, medical passports, internet passports combined with personal biometric data.

Join Bitcoin University Premium today: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss 3 different versions of a BlackRock 51% attack on Bitcoin that could include: 1) BlackRock purchasing 51% or more of all 21 million coins 2) BlackRock gaining control of 51% or more of all Bitcoin nodes 3) A traditional 51% attack by BlackRock using Bitcoin mining rigs All financial incentives point towards BlackRock wanting to help Bitcoin and drive up its price, thus driving up the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF's AUM and fee revenue. I conclude by noting that there is nothing that BlackRock can do to destroy Bitcoin, though a BlackRock ETF for a proof of stake coin like Ethereum, Cardano, or Solana could be disastrous for those protocols. Fortunately, Bitcoin runs on proof of work, which provides much greater security and assurances against capture or control by a nation-state or other large financial actor. Not investment advice!

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss what would happen if BlackRock tried to control Bitcoin by buying up all of the Bitcoin mining rigs in the world, or by otherwise trying to exert its influence on Bitcoin block production. If all ASICs drop off the Bitcoin network because BlackRock has acquired them and shut them down, it will again be possible to mine BTC using GPUs or CPUs, as the difficulty target adjusts to make it easier to mine BTC. Also, just because BlackRock wants to buy a mining rig does not mean that the owner will sell it to them-- especially owners of ASICs in other countries who are not big fans of BlackRock or American financial imperialism. By contrast, a successful BlackRock Ethereum ETF would be terrible news for Ethereum, as BlackRock and its custodian Coinbase take over more and more block production and even employ government-ordered censorship. Fortunately for Bitcoiners, Satoshi made Bitcoin proof of work. Unfortunately for Ethereum, Vitalik never really understood what makes proof of work so special, which is why he forked Ethereum to proof of stake. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin changed BlackRock. BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink used to spend his time attacking Bitcoin as being bad for the environment and enabling money laundering. Now, whether through pure greed or some greater form of enlightenment, Fink has become a vocal advocate for Bitcoin, as BlackRock prepares to launch their proposed ETF. BlackRock's move sends the signal to institutions that Bitcoin is now a safe and acceptable investment asset. Even though the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF will be Bitcoin IOU garbage, it will still contribute to Bitcoin adoption. The great thing about Bitcoin is that it channels human greed to spread itself and spread its benefits to humanity. Greedy humans see "number go up." Meanwhile, humanity gets neutral, sound money.

RFK Jr.'s proposal to eliminate all capital gains taxes on Bitcoin should be seen in this wider context. Backing the USD dollar with Bitcoin or anything else would probably still not be enough to constrain politicians' spending, but putting any amount of Bitcoin on the US government or central bank's balance sheet would certainly help to mitigate the US's huge debt problem.

Retail buyers of XRP clearly had a reasonable expectation of profits due to the efforts of Ripple, as we can see from multiple YouTube comments, as well as internal Ripple emails that discuss how to "generate speculative interest in XRP." This also suggests that Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen will lose their trial by jury. Retail investors in ADA and ETH were also quite aware of the parent company's role in pumping their tokens, including managing the road map. By contrast, commodities like Bitcoin never have a road map or centralized leadership. If Ripple loses their appeal, they will need to pay back the $728 million raised from institutional investors plus hefty fines. This suggests that XRP will continue to face strong price headwinds as insiders use this brief window to continue dumping XRP on retail. Investing in shipcoins (altcoins) like XRP, ADA, and ETH is hazardous to your wealth. Expect shipcoiners to continue to underperform Bitcoiners in the next cycle as well. Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the problems with using a metric like "Bitcoin dominance" when analyzing Bitcoin's market share and adoption. Bitcoin dominance is defined as Bitcoin's market cap as a percentage of the total crypto market cap. But not only does the Bitcoin dominance index include centralized, premined proof of stake coins, but it also includes melting fiat ice cube USD stablecoins like USDT and USDC. There is no rational reason to group such disparate categories together in the same index. Bitcoin dominance is also a very misleading metric because the basket of coins is constantly changing and includes a lot of survivorship bias. A true Bitcoin dominance index would also take into account traditional stores of value assets like gold, stocks, and real estate that Bitcoin continues to steal market share from. True decentralization (as only Bitcoin possesses) might not matter to investors today, but it will be critical going forward as nation-state attacks on crypto and Bitcoin escalate. Only Bitcoin is neutral, anti-fragile money-- And as such, will continue to eat the world. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the various reasons why you should value your wealth in Bitcoin. Altcoiners are trapped in a fiat unit of account mentality and still prefer to value their wealth in US dollars or other fiat currencies. They are quite focused on pumps and XYZ coin to the moon, while missing the big picture. Holders of weak fiat currencies like the Argentine peso have a much better understanding of why you should hodl. There's no rational time to convert your US dollars back into Argentine pesos. Likewise, there's no rational time to "take profits" and move your Bitcoin savings back into fiat which stores your economic energy as well as a melting ice cube. It's quite unlikely that you will be able to successfully outperform just hodling Bitcoin by trading shipcoins (altcoins), especially after paying all of those short-term capital gains taxes, while also having to avoid accidentally stepping on a land mine. Capital will continue to flow from the weakest forms of money (shipcoins, fiat) to the apex predator of money (Bitcoin). Don't be like a shipcoiner who thinks only in fiat. Slowly let Bitcoin become your unit of account. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the recent ruling in the SEC vs Ripple case. The judge found that dumping tokens on smart investors was illegal, while dumping tokens on dumb investors was perfectly legal. I expect this very convoluted and confused ruling to be overturned by an appeals court. If you are cheering for Ripple, you're on the side of scammers who have destroyed the financial lives of thousands of people with their scammy token (in my opinion). You're also on the side of government collaborators who are actively working to enslave us with CBDCs (in my opinion). If you're cheering for Ripple and XRP, you are actively helping to muddy the waters and delay the Bitcoin revolution. Nothing has changed with Ripple's fundamentals: It's still a highly centralized project, With an initial unfair distribution, With a centrally managed ledger, Managed by slimy executives (in my opinion). Ripple and its executives will continue to dump their XRP tokens on naive retail investors for now. And XRP will continue to lose value against BTC, which remains the apex predator of money.
