Does Bitcoin Have Intrinsic Value?

In this video, I discuss the various definitions of "intrinsic value" in finance to see what applies to Bitcoin.
I conclude that there is no such thing as "intrinsic value" in finance. Options can have intrinsic value if they are in the money, but commodities, stocks, etc. don't really have an intrinsic value.
They might have a cost of production or a market value or a utility value, but not an intrinsic value that can be easily defined or agreed upon by everyone.
Bitcoin may not have intrinsic value, but the market clearly finds it valuable and has done so for many years now. People who think that they know better than the global market and that Bitcoin is worth zero are suffering from intellectual myopia and probably haven't done their research.
Bitcoin is an extremely robust global monetary network, as well as a digital commodity without a corporate or government issuer.
Bitcoin has verifiable scarcity that is enforced by various equilibria conditions that harness human greed for human good.
Bitcoin is the only bearer asset in the world that can be instantly zapped anywhere in the world.
Bitcoin allows human beings to send value to each other digitally and store that value without needing permission or help from a government or bank or other corporation.
If that's not intrinsic value, it is certainly utility value.
If you don't think that Bitcoin has utility--
It is probably because you live in a country with a strong rule of law, strong property rights, a relatively stable banking system, etc. and you're suffering from the worst kind of first-world privilege and myopia.
Even very civilized places are usually only a few steps away from fiat breakdown and total societal collapse, as we've seen with Lebanon and Turkey recently.
Bitcoin offers hope to the world.

In this video, I discuss common questions about Bitcoin including:
1) Its MIT license
2) Whether the NSA controls the SHA-256 hashing algorithm
3) Whether the government knows who Satoshi is
4) Bitcoin's speed
5) The price of Bitcoin and Bitcoin transaction fees
6) Bitcoin's scalability
7) Bitcoin's energy usage
I conclude that Bitcoin has a robust, anti-fragile design and will continue to take market share from traditional stores of value like gold and real estate.
Bitcoin is hope-- and its future is very bright indeed.

New BRICS Gold Currency?
Join Bitcoin University Premium:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com
In this video, I discuss the BRICS proposal to issue a new trade currency backed by gold.
There are many pitfalls that cannot be avoided by a gold-backed currency: gold is expensive and difficult to store, assay, and move around to settle trade imbalances. It is outdated 19th century monetary technology in a digital world.
The gold standard has already been tried and been found wanting. A gold standard always inevitably leads to massive centralization, as well as having to trust governments and central banks that they won't print more money than they have gold to back it.
But aren't central banks loading up on gold?
Yes, they certainly are, but remember that these are highly politicized entities that are not investing for returns, but usually with more geopolitical objectives.
And they have an abysmal track record. If you loaded up on US Treasuries when they did, your returns have been terrible. Central banks are loading up on the one asset that will be the first to be demonetized by Bitcoin, which is the ultimate in economic poetic justice.
Unlike gold, Bitcoin is modern monetary technology. It is easy to store, verify, and zap around the world.
The BRICS countries would be much better off just using Bitcoin, rather than trying to reinvent a system that has already failed before.

How Bitcoin Fixes Gold and Housing
Get The Ultimate Guide To Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin is in the process of demonetizing inferior forms of money like houses and gold, which then frees up those assets for their real utility value.
Rental houses and other investment properties are a better store of value than the US dollar (which is why many wealthy investors and pension funds seek them out).
The problem with rich people using rental houses as a store of value is that it unnecessarily drives up the cost of housing for the working and middle class.
Bitcoin fixes this, by providing an environmentally friendly store of value that does not increase the cost of living for the poor and middle class.
Likewise, Bitcoin is in the process of demonetizing gold, thus freeing it up for the artists and for its use in electronics and other high tech inventions.
Bitcoin makes the world a better place: gold for the artists, housing for the people, and pure ethical digital money for 8 billion people.

The Real Cause Of Inflation (Beyoncé)

In this video, I discuss the various excuses that mainstream media and Keynesian economists use to explain high inflation, from pop concerts to climate change to video games.
The real cause of inflation is money printing by central bankers, who try to do their best to obscure the origin-- and even go as far as ECB head Christine Lagarde and claim that it just appeared "out of nowhere."
Bitcoin fixes this.

Global Emergency (Incoming)
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss a common government technique to consolidate and expand control, which is to take advantage of crises to roll out more control and surveillance.
Taken to its logical conclusion, this strategy could be used to set up global government control in response to a real or perceived global threat like a pandemic, cyber attack, alien invasion, climate change, etc.
Our best defense against increased government control is decentralized software protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr, as well as traditional "meatspace" solutions like owning productive land and increasing overall self-sufficiency.
In the coming 12-24 months, I would not be surprised to see a major cyber attack, followed by huge government pressure to institute "internet passports."

Banks Being Weaponized (You're Next)
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss Nigel Farage having his bank accounts involuntarily closed down in the context of a wider global government crackdown on free speech, as well as the right for anyone to use money and the banking system, regardless of political views.
Cutting off banking access was once a punishment reserved mostly for nation-state actors (Venezuela, Russia, Iran, etc). Over the past few years, we've seen it increasingly used, even in developed countries with rules of law, by governments to target individuals whose political opinions go against the establishment.
"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 is 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.

High Inflation, Or Bankrupt Banks?
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss how the Federal Reserve and other central banks must ultimately choose between allowing inflation to run hot, or attempting to control inflation and blowing up the banking system instead.
After signaling that they would keep monetary policy loose, the Fed raised rates at the fastest rate in 80 years and thus rendered large swathes of the US banking system insolvent. To add insult to injury for banks, the Fed has kept the yield curve highly inverted, which also blows up banks' basic business model of borrowing short and lending long.
If the Fed doesn't cut rates soon, banks will continue to blow up.
If the Fed does cut rates, inflation will continue to run hot.
That's the problem with being at the end of the long-term debt cycle-- there are no good choices left.

How Much Money To Moon Bitcoin?
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss how capital inflows affect the price of Bitcoin.
Contrary to popular opinion, you don't need inflows of $500 billion in order to double the market cap of a $500 billion asset like Bitcoin. In fact, you may require far smaller inflows, since price is set at the margin and the average Bitcoiner is not willing to sell his Bitcoin at any price.
The real question is not "how much money does it take to moon Bitcoin?"
The real question is "how desperate will people become as they see very high and long-lasting inflation worldwide?"
How much monopoly paper funny money will people want to convert to scarce digital gold nuggets?
The answer is 100%
Every last cent of fiat will be seeking a home in Bitcoin before we're done.
Bitcoin is the apex predator of money and will consume everything.

Enormous Tumor Attacks Bitcoin (So Tragic)
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss Nassim Taleb's recent attacks on Bitcoin in the context of the Lebanon liquidity crisis and Taleb's Wall Street background.
I conclude that Taleb has allowed his own personal animus against Bitcoiners to cloud his understanding of Bitcoin as a real tool and life raft for those trapped in countries with high inflation.
Taleb says that Bitcoin is a useless technology that is fit only for gambling and speculation. But that's just not true. Bitcoin is a useful technology for those who don't want their savings to be confiscated or devalued by their government or central bank.
The Lebanese liquidity crisis is a perfect example of a tragic series of events that Taleb's Lebanese friends and family could have protected themselves from by using Bitcoin.
To claim that Bitcoin has no use case, as Taleb does, is to betray one's own first-world "fiat privilege."
In his CNBC interview, Taleb says that he prefers the Fed over Bitcoin, because at least the Fed can be influenced. Bitcoin will help to fix this corrupt system.

Will Quantum Computing Break Bitcoin?
Learn to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss whether quantum computers will be able to destroy Bitcoin.
When discussing possible quantum computer attacks on Bitcoin, it's important to remember that there's no community in the world that is more focused on cyber security than Bitcoiners.
By contrast, the US banking system and US government are only able to hire mostly second-rate tech employees who enjoy dealing with bureaucracy and taking long lunch breaks.
Quantum computing is thus a much bigger threat to the US government or the US banking system than it is to Bitcoin.
In the event of a quantum attack on Bitcoin, the current signature algorithms would need to be replaced with a quantum-secure signature algorithm-- and all BTC at those old addresses would need to be moved to new quantum-secure addresses.
This would be disruptive, but would not ultimately destroy Bitcoin. Once you understand that the essence of Bitcoin is the social layer, the social consensus surrounding it, and Bitcoin's whole UTXO set, you begin to see that technologically driven attacks on Bitcoin (like a quantum computer attack) are much less dangerous than social attacks.
The best defense against social attacks on Bitcoin is Bitcoin education for everyone.
If Satoshi's coins ever move, we can be reasonably sure that there is a new powerful quantum computer working in the world.

Seizing Andrew Tate's Bitcoin?
Learn to build your own private Bitcoin vault:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss whether it is possible for a government or other hostile attacker to seize or freeze your Bitcoin.
Unlike almost every other traditional asset (stocks, bonds, bank accounts, etc), Bitcoin has no counter-party risk and cannot be frozen at the press of a button.
The only way that someone can steal your Bitcoin is if you store your recovery seed (the human readable version of your Bitcoin private keys) in a place where it can be viewed and used to sign a transaction stealing your Bitcoin-- or if an attacker can get extended access to your hardware wallet and is able to extract your private keys.
In the case of Andrew Tate, it appears that authorities were able to get their hands on at least some of his hardware wallets. But an order to seize his Bitcoin is quite different from the actual act of seizing his Bitcoin, which does not appear to have happened yet.
Multi-sig cold storage is the best solution for long-term Bitcoin savings, and can make it almost impossible for an attacker to seize your Bitcoin.

Could BlackRock Destroy Bitcoin?
Learn how to buy anonymous Bitcoin and do coinjoins:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss possible downsides to BlackRock becoming a large player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
What happens if BlackRock accumulates a lot of Bitcoin and then loses all of it, such that it is no longer accessible (private keys have been lost)?
In that case, BlackRock has just made a large pro-rata donation to the whole Bitcoin network and Bitcoiners like ourselves.
Could BlackRock issue a lot of "paper Bitcoin" and thus suppress the price of Bitcoin? Possibly, but then so can anyone else.
BlackRock is economically incentivized NOT to suppress the price of Bitcoin, if it wants the largest AUM and hence the most fee revenue as possible.
BlackRock could of course be forced by a hostile outside actor like the US gov to create a lot of paper Bitcoin to suppress the price.
One thing is certain though:
-- Central banks are not going to want to hold paper Bitcoin.
-- Nation-states are not going to want to hold paper Bitcoin.
-- Billionaires are not going to want the counter-party risk that comes with holding paper Bitcoin.
-- Serious Bitcoiners are not going to want to hold paper Bitcoin.
Issuing paper Bitcoin also comes with huge risks. If enough people ask to convert their paper Bitcoin into real Bitcoin (i.e. withdraw from BlackRock's ETF) and BlackRock doesn't have enough real BTC, then they will need to go into the open market and buy real BTC. The resulting spike caused by this short squeeze could easily bankrupt BlackRock.
It's much more difficult to suppress the price of an easily portable digital commodity than it is to suppress the price of a bulky physical commodity like gold. Taking delivery of BTC takes 10 minutes. Taking delivery of physical gold takes a lot more time, money, and coordination. It is also much easier to verify/assay Bitcoin and provide proof of reserves than it is with physical gold.
BlackRock could also fork Bitcoin and create its own proof of stake version. However, they cannot force Bitcoin node operators to run this new software or hodl the new tokens. I would take any PoS BTC tokens issued to me and dump them for real proof of work BTC. Something similar happened with BCH, which made that hard fork unsuccessful. I would also never run a PoS version of Bitcoin on my nodes.
The PoW fork of Bitcoin (i.e. real BTC) will not be just for pirates and El Salvador. It will be for anyone who doesn't want BlackRock to control their money, like:
-- Freedom-minded individuals
-- Billionaires seeking to escape the tentacles of the US
-- Nation-states
-- Foreign central banks
That's a lot of capital, and it's not going to want to house itself inside of a BlackRock or US gov walled garden.
Finally, under a proof of work protocol, owning more BTC does NOT give you additional control over the protocol. In a proof of stake protocol, it does. For that reason, Ethereum better hope that BlackRock never comes out with an ETH ETF lol.

BlackRock Blessing Bitcoin (Super Bullish)
Learn how to buy anonymous Bitcoin:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/courses/76599-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
In this video, I discuss the bullish side of BlackRock possibly launching a Bitcoin ETF (technically a trust, but with daily redemptions and creation). In a subsequent video, I will cover possible downsides to BlackRock's entering the space.
Why is BlackRock entering the space bullish?
1) This will mean really large capital flows into Bitcoin, which may enable it to hit a new all-time high in the 12 months after this ETF is approved and starts trading.
2) BlackRock entering the space is validation of our long-held position that Bitcoin will not be banned in the US anytime soon.
3) BlackRock confers an air of legitimacy to Bitcoin as an investment for corporate balance sheets (e.g. MicroStrategy), as well as retirement accounts.
4) By creating a Bitcoin ETF, BlackRock is also implicitly giving its blessing to Bitcoin as an ESG-friendly investment-- which is what it has always been all along.
Bitcoin is much more ESG-friendly than central bankers and fiat money.
Bitcoin is fair and neutral money for 8 billion people.

BlackRock's Big Bitcoin Bet
Join Bitcoin University Premium:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com
In this video, I discuss BlackRock's new Bitcoin trust application, the odds of it getting approved by the SEC, and what it means for the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Even though this product is packaged as a trust, it will have daily creation and redemption of units, which means that it should never trade at a significant premium or discount to Bitcoin itself-- unlike GBTC.
This is the real deal, and it may be yet another catalyst for massive capital flows into Bitcoin.
In the next bull market, don't be surprised to see Bitcoin outperform everything else. Liquidity and high market cap beget even more liquidity and a higher market cap, as we have seen with FAANG stocks for the past decade.
Fortunately, the fact that Bitcoin is proof of work means that owning more coins will NOT give BlackRock additional power over the protocol.
Not so for proof of stake protocols like Ethereum, which could easily become captured and controlled by a BlackRock ETF.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

The End of Stablecoins (Goodbye, Tether)
Join Bitcoin University Premium:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com
In this video, I discuss how the US government is in the process of shutting down ALL stablecoins like USDC and BUSD-- and soon to come, USDT.
The US gov simply will not allow public or private corporations to issue US dollars or USD stablecoins. That is a very special power reserved for the money cartel, Federal Reserve and US banks.
If Circle or Tether were still allowed to do it, what's to stop China or Russia from issuing their own USD stablecoins and thus obtain various currency powers?
The crypto industry still doesn't understand that ALL USD stablecoins are going to zero. They will be regulated out of existence. Expect a lawsuit or other attack on Tether and USDT in the coming months.
When the dust settles, the only major crypto asset that will be left standing in the US is Bitcoin. Prepare your crypto portfolio accordingly.
An implosion of Tether would actually be bullish for BTC, as capital outside of the regulated banking system finds its way from USDT to BTC.

Coinbase Is Literally Junk (Tragic)
Join Bitcoin University Premium:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com
In this video, I discuss the bond market pricing in a Coinbase bankruptcy.
Coinbase has a large amount of debt and negative free cash flow. When you combine this with the possibility that it loses access to the US customer market, there is a good chance that this stock is a zero.
Coinbase bonds are already indicating such an outcome, trading at junk yields.
I think it's a good idea to remove all fiat cash and Bitcoin from the platform-- unless you want to end up being included as one of the creditors, as happened with BlockFi and Celsius.

Crypto Is An Attack On Freedom
Join the Bitcoin University email list:
https://www.trader.university/bitcoin-email-list
In this video, I discuss the various ways in which crypto is an attack on both Bitcoin and freedom.
Crypto projects like Ethereum/ConsenSys and Ripple/XRP are actively soliciting and collaborating with governments to build government surveillance coins like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Ripple/XRP is responsible, in my opinion, for funding much of the energy FUD against Bitcoin that we have seen.
If you support or own any crypto besides Bitcoin, you are actively helping to fund the opposition and slow down the Bitcoin revolution.

Carnage In Crypto Land (Bitcoin Wins Again)
Join Bitcoin University Premium:
https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com
In this video, I discuss the ongoing carnage in crypto land, as well as how Bitcoin will be the only crypto left standing.
The SEC is seeking to freeze all Binance US assets, while ETH is clearly being grouped with other securities in the Coinbase lawsuit. Expect SEC lawsuits against ADA and ETH in the coming months.
Meanwhile, Gary Gensler was on CNBC saying that we already have a digital currency called the USD. Too bad it is such a bad store of value and has been weaponized as a political cudgel (thus no longer being a neutral global medium of exchange).
Bitcoiners know that it's impossible for Gensler to do to Bitcoin what he's doing to crypto casinos and unregistered securities masquerading as crypto.
State-sponsored attacks on an asset are a part of the free market competition between different forms of money.You might want to pick a money like BTC that can actually survive such an attack.

HEX Rekt (So Sad)

Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.
In this video, I discuss the continuing unravelling of HEX, including the disastrous launch of Pulsechain and PulseX.
HEX continues to crash relative to both the US dollar and Bitcoin, as Richard Heart followers begin to realize that they've been scammed. They sent him $1 billion and all he did was fork Ethereum to make Pulsechain.
Bitcoin continues to appreciate against all other asset classes, both scams and legitimate asset classes.

Bitcoin Ordinals, Inscriptions, and Prime Real Estate
Get the "Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin" course:
https://www.trader.university/courses/38824-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.
In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin block space is prime real estate, both for financial transactions, as well as for embedding things that you wish to distribute globally and free from censorship for all time.
Non-financial uses of Bitcoin blockspace like inscriptions will almost certainly get priced out by financial uses of Bitcoin blockspace over time, but it is important in the meantime not to throw the baby out with the bath water by advocating for rolling back updates like Segwit or Taproot.
I also discuss Erik Cason's ideas about creating a "Library of Satoshi" on the blockchain.
It might make sense to embed important documents on the Bitcoin blockchain before we enter an era of global surveillance and rewriting history.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Bitcoin Mining Tax Defeated (Debt Ceiling Deal)
Get the "Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin" course:
https://www.trader.university/courses/38824-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.
In this video, I discuss the breaking news that the US Bitcoin mining tax has been eliminated from the debt ceiling bill.
This was an unfair tax that politicized the use of electricity and would have had the undesirable effect of driving large US Bitcoin mining companies to dirtier grids overseas.
Banning Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining is like sawing off the branch that you are sitting on. It ends up hurting you and your country much more than the branch.
If you support technologies that make human lives better like:
Light bulbs
Electricity
Running water
Indoor heating and cooling
Then you should also support Bitcoin, which offers private property rights for 8 billion people that protects them from dictators and totalitarians.

Biometric Digital Prison Is Coming (Worldcoin)

Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.
In this video, I discuss Worldcoin, Sam Altman's project to scan the eyes of poor people in exchange for a shipcoin, and use this biometric data as a global surveillance tool.
We CANNOT allow ourselves to be put into a digital prison of CBDCs, movement passports, medical passports, internet passports combined with personal biometric data.
Such a digital prison would be almost impossible for humanity to escape from.
Bitcoin will play a major role in protecting the self-sovereignty and monetary control of people against totalitarian governments and corporations.

Why Bitcoin-Only Wallets Are Best
Get the "Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin" course:
https://www.trader.university/courses/38824-the-ultimate-guide-to-bitcoin
Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.
In this video, I discuss why Bitcoin-only hardware wallets are best.
Hardware wallets that support 6,000 shipcoins/altcoins need to have much more complicated hardware and software than wallets that support just BTC. This increased complexity results in a much wider attack surface, which makes the wallet less safe for ALL coins.
By contrast, Bitcoin itself has extremely good native security, both for single sig and multisig, which Bitcoin-only hardware and software wallets can leverage.
I cannot recommend any altcoin wallets, because I cannot recommend holding altcoins at all.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
