Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) will eventually go away forever, as people flee to Bitcoin to escape hyper-inflating fiat currencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). A lot of Bitcoin FUD will also disappear as previous large critics of Bitcoin (like BlackRock) begin to buy Bitcoin and issue Bitcoin-related financial products. In the long run, greed always trumps FUD. Just like with the internet, most people will begin to use Bitcoin in their daily lives and not worry about understanding its inner plumbing. Bitcoin is a life raft-- and no one who is drowning or freezing to death in the fiat water will have time to engage in Bitcoin FUD. They will climb onto the Bitcoin life raft and never look back. That's how the world moves to a Bitcoin standard. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss whether XRP, ETH, and LINK are in fact decentralized, or just DINO ("decentralized in name only"). If you are a centralized corporation that magically ended up with a huge amount of the premine and you also publish a recommended list of "company-approved" nodes-- If you have a living founder who proposes a roadmap and directs development from his bully pulpit-- If you have a living founder who approves of rolling back the chain in order to bail out his buddies-- If you have moved to proof of stake, and a centralized, government-regulated staking service is taking over much of the chain's validation-- If you have an insider multi-sig that controls all DeFi price oracles-- Then your crypto is probably not at all that decentralized. Bitcoin is decentralized, not because it has nodes and miners all over the world, but because it is not controlled by a small group of insiders who can force protocol changes on everyone else. Bitcoin protocol change is a contentious, messy process, which suggests that there is no one in control or in charge. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor. Ethereum Merge?

Get my Bitcoin course here: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin The Bitcoin University Forum: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/bitcoin-forum In this video, I discuss common mistakes that people make using hardware wallets that result in their Bitcoin being stolen instantly. When you set up a new hardware wallet, you should always generate a fresh recovery seed and then a fresh receive address. Use your old hardware wallet to sign a transaction that sends your BTC to that new fresh receive address that's controlled by the new hardware wallet. If you input your old recovery seed into a new hardware wallet, you've basically just reconstituted your Bitcoin holdings and their private keys on that new device. This is fine if your only goal is to have a new signing device to use. It's not fine if you are worried about your old hardware wallet and recovery seed having been compromised.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin can help everyone to win the "money lottery," regardless of their place of birth or residence. When the local fiat money is weak, it can be difficult or impossible to trade goods and services for money, or to store your savings in a way that preserves its purchasing power. Bitcoin fixes this, by enabling global fair trade in goods and services, and by enabling people everywhere to secure and protect their monetary energy from debasement and loss of purchasing power.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com Should Bitcoin Be Backed By Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6pGmGESjHw&ab_channel=BitcoinUniversity In this video, I discuss how any system based on a gold standard contains the seeds of its own demise, and will eventually devolve into paper banking plus central banks. Here's a common example of "gold failure mode": I pay my bank an annual fee to store my physical gold. (If you're really wealthy with physical gold, the only two options are using a bank or creating a small private army, which comes with its own problems). That bank has a competitor that instead lends out its depositors' gold for a fee. This competitor bank is then able to offer a reduced or zero annual storage fee, thus stealing all the business from conservative banks that don't lend out their depositors' gold. Pretty soon you only have partial reserve gold banks, because the banks that didn't do it were driven out of business. If a lot of people ask for their gold at the same time in a context of fractional reserve banking like this, you then end up with widespread bank failures. That's when people decide to create or recreate "central banks" that can bail out or stabilize the banking system. Voila! You've just put your money into the control of very small group of people who will eventually do stupid and corrupt things. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how the US political system can no longer be reformed from the inside out, but rather requires an external carrot and stick in the form of Bitcoin. Expect each and every politician (even Bitcoiners) to let you down. Even if they're approaching the job with great intentions, they will be coopted or corrupted and then swallowed up by the system once they're elected. Bitcoin is both a carrot and a stick. The carrot: Bitcoin is a beacon of hope and freedom that rewards you with higher purchasing power over time and the ability to freely transact with anyone globally. The stick: You are going to continue to get poorer until you join Bitcoin. That's why long-term critics of Bitcoin have so much Bitcoin derangement syndrome: they've been wrong for so long, and they've had to watch their opponents get wealthier and wealthier over time, so it's much more painful than just losing a rhetorical argument. They've lost the economic and financial argument as well. More of Bitcoin the stick: Bitcoin defunds corrupt governments that are used to stealing from their people through inflation or asset seizure. When you trade your USD for BTC, you are actively helping to defund the US gov. You are both opting out of the system and weakening the system just a bit, by going long BTC and going short USD. That's the kind of change that I can believe in. Here's how to actually change the world: Get yourself, your family, and your friends on a Bitcoin standard. Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Justin Trudeau's recent comments on alleged grocery store price gouging in Canada. If there were price gouging taking place, we would expect to see elevated grocery store profit margins-- which we do not. It's more likely that Canada's grocery price inflation is driven by government regulation and central bank money printing. Blaming businesses and threatening taxes or price controls is ironically the fastest way to get food price inflation to actually accelerate even more. Fortunately, we have Bitcoin to protect us from the policies of corrupt politicians and their central bank masters. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Ethereum's poor performance since the September 2022 merge, and some reasons behind it. One of the worst things about Ethereum is this: The whole system is set up to maximize rent-seeking by large ETH holders and beneficiaries of the huge premine/presale. Most Ethereum sheep don't even realize this. Ethereum extracts money from its users/transactors and gives that money to large Ethereum stakers (the more Ethereum you own and stake, the higher the probability that you will get to win the next block). How does this work? When you make an Ethereum transaction, you pay a base fee and a priority fee (tip) to the validators (i.e. people who have staked their ETH). Unlike in BTC, in ETH you even pay this fee whether or not your transaction goes through. The base fee is burned (EIP 1559), thus decreasing the overall supply of ETH and helping ETH stakers/validators. ETH stakers/validators keep the priority fee/tip, thus getting even richer. Do you see what is happening? The entire system is set up to rent-seek off of transactors, in order to benefit holders. Kinda reminds you of the endless tolls and fees in the traditional fiat system that enrich banks and payment processors. Summary: Users get financially penalized for using the network, while holders/stakers of ETH get rewarded. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Here's how DarthCoin describes his Bitcoin citadel: "This citadel is not a Death Star, a castle, a mansion or an Eiffel Tower. Nothing like that. Will be just a homesteading place, with some small houses, a vegetables garden, fruit trees, some domestic animals and other utilities, enough to live a simple life in a self-sustaining way as much is possible." DarthCoin's building method is a great example of a beautiful meditative practice, working slowly with his hands, grounded in the earth, pulling out rocks-- true proof of work. There's something about Bitcoin that reminds people of the old-fashioned virtues of self-sufficiency (unstoppable money, food, water, etc), and localism (don't trust those 3,000 miles away to look after your best interests). Bitcoin is this weird marriage of conservatism and progressivism, which makes it the perfect medium for uniting people: Scruffy old goldbug mentality meets starry-eyed techno-futurist. Bitcoin is the unexpected, shocking love child of the past mating with the future. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Nic Carter's recent tweet comparing Bitcoin to USD stablecoins, in which he concludes that Bitcoin has failed as a medium of exchange. Nic assumes that the present is a good predictor of the future, failing to recognize how Bitcoin will continue to steal market share from the USD as the latter becomes an increasingly less stable store of value. Will people still want to accept USD stablecoins as payment when the USD is losing significant value even overnight? Of course not. They'll want to be paid directly in a hard currency like BTC. That's when BTC as both a medium of exchange and store of value will really shine. Nic fails to break out USD stablecoin usage for moving money between exchanges, which is not really a good proxy for Bitcoin's value as a medium of exchange. Finally, Nic fails to include economic value that is transmitted over the Bitcoin Lightning Network, including instead only channel openings and closings. Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss how to position your personal life and business life in order to benefit from Bitcoin's coming ascent. If you hitch your life to the Bitcoin locomotive, it can take you places that you've only dreamed of. Not only is it important to own BTC, if you believe in it.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I discuss the debate surrounding drivechains (BIPs 300 and 301), as well as how I think we should think about the possible unintended consequences of making changes to Bitcoin's code. Bitcoin is really, really difficult to change; and this is a feature, rather than a bug. If Bitcoin were easy to change, any government, central bank, or other attacker could swoop in, make changes, and castrate Bitcoin. Fortunately, they cannot. The Bitcoin ecosystem is still in the process of absorbing the implications of the last two soft forks (Segwit, Taproot), so it's far too early to be talking about another soft fork anytime soon. Let's revisit this drivechains discussion in 10 years from now. In the meantime, Paul Sztorc is welcome to try out his new ideas on a low-value chain like LTC or BCH. Not investment advice!

Learn to build your own Bitcoin vault: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the complexity, security, and privacy tradeoffs of using single sig, multisig, and collaborative custody multisig Bitcoin cold storage. Multisig is definitely not for beginners, but I think it is the logical final step for serious Bitcoiners who want to secure large amounts of their net worth in Bitcoin. While single sig only really requires you to store one item securely (your 12 or 24 word recovery seed), multisig requires you to secure at least 2 out of the 3 recovery seeds in addition to a multisig wallet configuration file. The latter config file is more like a treasure map, which if compromised can leak information about where your Bitcoin is held, but cannot result in the loss of your Bitcoin unless the attacker is also able to gain control of 2 out of 3 of your private keys. My favorite multisig solution is a DIY multi-vendor, multisig vault that uses your own node to access the Bitcoin network, which I teach about in my paid course: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin For many people, collaborative custody using a company like Unchained will make the most sense, if they are OK with leaking some privacy: https://unchained.com/vaults Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Grayscale's recent legal victory over the SEC, and what it means for Bitcoin spot ETFs going forward. This ruling does NOT mean that Grayscale has been given the automatic go-ahead to convert GBTC to a spot ETF, but it does provide the legal justification for backing ETFs with spot Bitcoin, which behaves similarly to Bitcoin futures, especially at the front month. Meanwhile, GBTC's discount to spot BTC has narrowed. The SEC has 45 days to appeal this ruling, and so we should have greater clarity soon as to when a Bitcoin spot ETF is coming to the US. I still expect the BlackRock Bitcoin spot ETF, along with a few other spot ETFs, to be approved in the next 6 months. This will mean massive institutional money flows into BTC. Not investment advice!

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the race between nation-states to set up Bitcoin mining operations and to get their hands on some Bitcoin. Following China, El Salvador, Bhutan, and Russia, now Oman will be investing over $1 billion in eco-friendly Bitcoin mining operations. Oman will be using wasted flared gas and new sources of hydro-energy to generate the electricity used to power the Bitcoin mining rigs. In the process, Oman will be diversifying away from its heavy reliance on physical commodities like crude oil and into the world's strongest digital commodity, which is Bitcoin. Not only is this great news for the Bitcoin network (which continues to get stronger and grow in hash), but it's also groundbreaking news for Bitcoin and Islamic finance. Oman has concluded that Bitcoin is halal, which bodes well for other Islamic countries and people to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is freedom money for people everywhere, from all races, all tribes, and all religions. It is digital money for 8 billion humans who want a better life and place to store their savings. Smaller nation-states like Oman will move to a Bitcoin standard before larger nation-states, which are plagued by the "incumbent problem." If you're big and established, you get lazy and begin to think you have the divine right to everything. This is why large corporations (BlockBuster, Kodak, Xerox) often get out-innovated and displaced. And it applies to nation-states as well. Will the US be the last country on earth to move to a Bitcoin standard? I certainly hope not. Bitcoin is freedom money, and aligns perfectly with the US founding fathers' vision for the country. But we shall see. Fortunately Bitcoin and Bitcoiners are highly mobile and can choose to live wherever they are treated best. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join Bitcoin University Premium today: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss whether Bitcoin has any utility. Altcoin promoters frequently assert that Bitcoin has no real use case, no utility, and is rather just a speculative asset. That's just because altcoin promoters have something to sell you. I conclude that Bitcoin has the largest utility and greatest total addressable market of any crypto asset, since it provides a neutral digital store of value that can be transmitted across digital communications channels in a permission-less, censorship-resistant manner. Bitcoin is easier to transport, verify/assay, and self-custody without counter-party risk or risk of confiscation than any traditional asset like gold, stocks, bonds, or real estate. You can send Bitcoin to anyone in the world, without needing to open up an account, get a license, or get permission from any person, group, or government. You can mine Bitcoin without needing to ask for permission. You can sell goods or services and get paid directly in Bitcoin without needing to ask for permission. When someone tells you that Bitcoin has no utility, you know they are either an altcoin promoter, or are a victim of altcoin promoters and just repeating the same talking points.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the impact of fiat money on our food supply, as well as on food science. Why is it that many of the same people and organizations who hate Bitcoin just happen to also be extremely pro-vegan? As a Bitcoiner, if you don't trust the WEF or Bill Gates when it comes to Bitcoin, sound money, and human freedom, should you really accept their views on nutrition uncritically? Could Bill Gates' investments (mono-crop farmland, Impossible Meat) possibly be influencing his vegan advice? Many of the assumptions behind veganism (for example, that saturated fat and cholesterol are bad for you) are being overturned by contemporary nutritional science, and are given the lie by traditional cultures that value meat highly. Bitcoin is freedom money. It's unstoppable, censorship-resistant money that allows you to live your life as you see fit. Bitcoin is money for people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Bitcoin is money for people from all races and cultures. Bitcoin is freedom money that ensures that you can transact with people who grow or make the food that you want to eat. Remember, it's not the Bitcoiners who are going to force you to eat certain foods or avoid certain foods. It's the politicians and central bankers who want to control you through social credit scores linked to CBDCs. If you do choose to eat meat, please try to support small family ranchers who treat their animals and the land much better than factory farming does. Even better, support small family ranchers that accept Bitcoin like Jason Wrich: https://wrichranches.com/ (I don't know Jason personally and I'm not being compensated by him in any way) Not investment advice!

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the recent news that two KYC'd mining pools (Foundry USA and AntPool) now control over 50% of the Bitcoin network's hash rate. So what are the real risks? 51% attacks are difficult both to initiate and to maintain, especially if they require the cooperation of two countries like the US and China that are increasingly having trouble doing anything together. In addition, a 51% attack cannot create fake Bitcoin, steal your Bitcoin, or rewrite the whole blockchain. Empty block attacks are more a temporary nuisance than an existential threat to Bitcoin. What seems more likely is the possibility of government-imposed censorship on certain transactions. The US government can contact Foundry USA (since it's regulated by and located in the US) and tell them that they are not allowed to include certain potential Bitcoin transactions in a block. The US government could also contact AntPool, but they are unlikely to comply unless it's also in China's interest to censor a certain Bitcoin transaction. Likewise, Foundry USA will probably ignore phone calls from China. What should someone do if their potential Bitcoin transaction is being actively censored (not included in a block) by Foundry or AntPool? You simply need to wait for a miner from the other 49% of the network to include that transaction in a block. You could also raise the transaction fee to tempt one of the other miners to include the transaction in a block. Conclusion: Even with 51% of the Bitcoin network being controlled by hostile, government-controlled mining pools, anyone would still be able to transact using the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin transaction fee market ensures this. Unlike Ethereum (which runs on proof of stake), Bitcoin would be able to recover from these kinds of attacks-- and would emerge on the other side even stronger. Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss Paul Krugman's encouraging the Fed to increase its inflation target from 2% to 3%. If you can't win the war on inflation, perhaps it's best just to move the goal posts, according to Keynesians. Keynesian economics is a pseudo-science whose primary purpose is to provide the fake theoretical justification for massive amounts of economic central planning, government spending, and money printing. Krugman says that Bitcoin is evil, but doesn't think it's evil to debase the purchasing power of the working and middle classes through money printing. Bitcoin fixes this. Bitcoin will slowly "right size" the US government. Governments can print fiat, but no government can print Bitcoin to pay its bills. Governments will need to mine it, earn it, or obtain it through reasonable tax policy. And if they try to turn us into economic or political serfs again, we'll just take our Bitcoin in our brains and leave. Now you can see why people like Buffett and Krugman hate Bitcoin so much: it defunds their little fiat racket, while giving the little guy sound money that cannot be censored or debased by unelected people who live thousands of miles away.

Since the Bitcoin futures curve is almost always in a state of contango, holding Bitcoin futures will almost always lead to underperformance, due to the negative carry. I think it's much safer to avoid any tracking error or counter-party risk by holding BTC itself on a hardware wallet like the ColdCard or Blockstream Jade. Not investment advice!

Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin In this video, I discuss the factors to consider when thinking about how much Bitcoin you should own. There's no "one size fits all" solution to this, since everyone has different net worths, income levels, expected expenses, risk tolerance, etc. Asking other people how much Bitcoin you should own is a little bit like people asking Mozart for permission to get into the symphony writing business. Holding Bitcoin without understanding Bitcoin is a recipe for disaster. You'll never survive the FUD and volatility. That's why you need to do a lot of research and not rush into large allocations to BTC. And that's why you cannot ask other people how much of your money you should put into BTC. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
