In this video, I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of embedding legal documents like car titles or property deeds on the Bitcoin blockchain. Here are the advantages to putting legal documents on the Bitcoin blockchain: 1) The blockchain is immutable and cannot be censored. 2) Legal docs will remain there forever (that might be good or bad thing). 3) The blockchain provides a pretty good time stamp. Here are the disadvantages to putting legal documents on the Bitcoin blockchain: 1) It clutters the blockchain with non-financial transactions. 2) There is no real-world enforcement mechanism available to the Bitcoin blockchain. If you are holding or moving Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, the Bitcoin network will enforce property rights and consensus rules. That is because BTC is the native token of the network. By contrast, the Bitcoin network has no way of enforcing real-world property rights of cars, houses, etc. For that, you still need judges, police, etc. Do smart contracts solve this problem? No-- you still have the real-world enforcement problem when it comes to physical objects like cars or houses. There's also the "oracle problem." Blockchains are isolated from the outside world. They are very good at verifying stuff that happens onchain like: "did someone sign with the correct private key to unlock BTC from this address?" But blockchains are not good at importing and verifying real world data. For example, how do we really know that a certain team won Monday Night Football, without having to trust a 3rd party that can be bribed or compromised? As far as I can tell, the oracle problem has never been solved in computer science-- and Chainlink (LINK) is a joke, being controlled by just 5 signers in a multi-sig that is easy to capture or control.

In this video, I discuss the ongoing controversy and questions surrounding Ordinals and Inscriptions (NFTs) on Bitcoin. Ordinals are an external labeling scheme that orders satoshis (sats). Inscriptions are digital text or image files that have been linked to a single satoshi and thus can be sent all around the Bitcoin network and even across the Lightning Network. They can be loosely thought of as NFTs on Bitcoin. You cannot stop people from organizing, labelling, and ordering sats. You also cannot stop people from embedding stuff on the Bitcoin blockchain, as they have been doing for years. But as the base layer sees more and more important financial transactions that want to settle on the base layer, transaction fees will rise and make NFTs on Bitcoin a very secondary use case. Inscriptions will be essentially priced out. Inscriptions do not contribute to blockchain bloat, and you are free to ignore them altogether by running a pre-Taproot version of Bitcoin Core. Ordinals and inscriptions are the best proof yet that even Bitcoin maxis do not control Bitcoin. It is truly decentralized and not controlled by some small insider group. This makes Bitcoin even more attractive as neutral money. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss a real-world use case for Bitcoin that refutes the claim that Bitcoin is a useless technology that is fit only for gambling and speculation. 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 one could have protected oneself from by using Bitcoin. To claim that Bitcoin has no use case is to betray one's own first-world "fiat privilege." If your country has a decent banking system and property rights, you probably don't need Bitcoin today or tomorrow. But as more and more fiat currencies fail, the practical use cases for Bitcoin will continue to grow. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss Charlie Munger's recent editorial in "The Wall Street Journal" about the dangers of crypto. Unfortunately, Munger strays outside of his "circle of competence" and lumps Bitcoin in with the rest of "crypto." Unlike most cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is not an unregistered security. Bitcoin is a digital commodity that was not issued by a government or corporation or foundation. Bitcoin is neutral money for the world.

In this video, I discuss further questions raised about ordinals/inscriptions/NFTs coming to Bitcoin. Inscriptions that have been embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain are there forever, and nodes will have to deal with them when they do their Bitcoin audit, whether they are running a full node or a pruned node. Running a Bitcoin full node should (at least theoretically) not open you up to charges of possessing bad images, since intent matters-- at least under US law. Expect Bitcoiners to be scapegoated in the coming decade, and to be blamed for financial collapses that they profited from, but did not cause. If you want to censor NFTs on Bitcoin, you will need to elect a King of Bitcoin, which defeats the whole purpose of having an open, permission-less system to begin with. All things considered, the Taproot upgrade was a good one, even if people are putting it to some uses that we may not like. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

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 "ordinals," which is a new protocol that allows you to number individual sats and inscribe them with text or images, thus creating actual NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain itself. There are 2 strong traditions in Bitcoin culture: 1) Don't shovel unrelated crap into the Bitcoin blockchain: keep the blockchain as small as possible to make it easier for everyone in the world to run a node, which helps to keep Bitcoin decentralized. 2) Allow everyone to use Bitcoin as they see fit: it's an open and permission-less system The advent of NFTs and other inscriptions on Bitcoin provides an interesting battleground for these competing traditions. Thanks to the November 2021 Taproot soft fork, it is now possible to put NFTs and other pictures or text directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, using inscriptions and ordinals. Ordinals allows us to organize sats into a particular order and thus identify individual sats. These sats can then be "inscribed" with actual text or pictures and sent around the Bitcoin network. Inscriptions have the potential to contribute to blockchain bloat, as well as mempool crowding and driving up transaction fees. In addition, if bad images like child porn are inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, governments could use this as an excuse to jail otherwise innocent Bitcoiners who are running full nodes. Bitcoin is open to everyone and permission-less. That being said, if you believe in Bitcoin's fundamental global mission to provide neutral money to 8 billion, you probably won't be putting any of your own inscriptions on the chain and contributing to blockchain bloat. My guess is that people who want to store NFTs and other inscriptions on Bitcoin will eventually be priced out by Bitcoin's better financial uses, including as a global final settlement layer.

In this video, I discuss OFAC and other censorship at the protocol level (block production) for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. I conclude that Ethereum is at much greater risk, due to its reliance on a proof of stake consensus mechanism that virtually ensures increasing centralization. Large validators like Coinbase and Lido will always be government-regulated, and thus will be forced to censor transactions that the government doesn't like. By contrast, large Bitcoin mining companies come and go, due to the difficulty of mining Bitcoin profitably across cycles. Centralization is much less likely when it comes to proof of work protocols like Bitcoin. Staking pools custody your ETH, making them vulnerable to government regulation and confiscation. By contrast, Bitcoin mining pools exist only in cyberspace, with the actual ASICs distributed across the world in people's basements and garages. The Bitcoin transaction fee market also incentivizes new miners to begin mining once transaction fees get juicy enough. This can help previously censored transactions to make it into the next block.

Join the Trader University email list: https://www.trader.university/email-list In this video, I argue that Bitcoin is NOT violence, but rather a neutral technology like fire, cars, or planes that can be used for either good or evil. Anyone who tells you that Bitcoin is violence is either a spook or someone who doesn't understand Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a voluntary, permission-less system. Bitcoin is a peaceful movement that allows you to defend your property rights (simply by memorizing 12 words) without ever needing to resort to violence. By contrast, the fiat system has been imposed on us under a threat of violence. Bitcoin is for the right, the left, the center, for all tribes, all races, people from every religion and background.

In this video, I discuss the US debt ceiling debate in the context of US unfunded liabilities and foreign buyers' decreasing interest in owning US debt. Ultimately, all US unfunded liabilities will need to be funded by US Treasury debt issuance, and that debt will be purchased by the Fed, ballooning the Fed's balance sheet to $100 trillion and beyond. There is no other way out, now that total US government debt has grown so far beyond the size of the US economy which is meant to service that debt. Fiat devaluation and money printing is the path that will be taken. US debt has no ultimate ceiling, just as fiat money has no floor. The US government and Fed will ultimately print to infinity as they try to remain afloat. Debates about debt ceilings are pure political theater that is meant to distract voters from these fundamental structural issues. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss a new job opening in the UK for "Head of Central Bank Digital Currency," as the UK moves closer to CBDCs. CBDCs make it very easy for governments and central banks to track your income, spending patterns, and to exert their control through targeted stimulus, targeted penalties, and de-platforming enemies of the state. CBDCs are a central pillar of the coming digital prison, which includes control of the money, as well as biometric tracking, social credit scores, and movement controls. Only Bitcoin can slay the CBDC dragon. At some point in time, when there is no more physical cash or credit cards or bank accounts, people will begin to move into Bitcoin out of necessity. At that point, Bitcoin will be the proverbial glass of water in the desert. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss the fair launch of Bitcoin (Bitcoin's "immaculate conception") and whether it can be repeated. Satoshi did not turn to VC's or sell tokens to fund his software development. He simply released a white paper and software code to a mailing list, then mined as little as he could, before leaving the project for good and never selling any coins. His humility and self-control are astonishing and almost super-human. By doing so, Satoshi removed the single point of failure of having a living founder who can be bribed or co-opted, or whose political opinions have the potential to taint the coin for some people. Satoshi's actions gave Bitcoin the best chance possible of being a new neutral form of money. It's probably impossible to do a fair launch of a crypto today due to privacy concerns and financial greed. Let's say that you want to do a "fair launch" coin today: 1) Can you do it and stay truly anonymous?

In this video, I discuss what the future may look like on a Bitcoin standard. A Bitcoin standard should bring prosperity similar to what the gold standard brought to 19th century America. Freed from the ravages of inflation, US standards of living rose and were enabled by technological innovations. Since the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, deflationary tech has clashed with central bank monetary policy which seeks to create more inflation, as a form of stealth taxation. Technology is inherently deflationary, which is a good thing, unless you happen to be suffering from a large debt load, like the 21st century US government. If Bitcoin wins, it will usher in a new era of unparalleled prosperity and human flourishing. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss: 1) How Tether makes money for its issuer 2) Whether Tether is responsible for Bitcoin pumps 3) Whether Bitcoin will crash if Tether fails. Tether invests its reserves mostly in T-bills (as far as we can tell), and probably earns north of $3 billion per year from the interest income that these bills throw off. As such, it makes it more unlikely that Tether would risk committing fraud and killing its golden goose in the process. If USDT were to fail, there is a good chance that BTC actually rallies as people exit USDT into BTC. It's the central bank money printers that have a much greater impact on BTC than the Tether money printers. Bitcoin is the apex predator of money, and it will eventually absorb all monetary energy from everywhere, including all fiat and stablecoins. There's nothing stable about "stablecoins." They are backed by a melting ice cube, which is fiat. And they have massive counter-party risk and can blow up overnight like UST did. Bitcoin is the real stablecoin. Its price is volatile, but the Bitcoin network is incredibly stable, robust, and anti-fragile. It is truly stable money, unlike USDT, USDC, or USD. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin mining is being used to fund conservation efforts in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This project goes against the widespread perception of Bitcoin mining as being bad for the environment. Is it actually wasteful to use stranded energy sources to mine Bitcoin, especially if the proceeds can be used to fund conservation as well as to support the local population? What happens if the local population's energy needs grow? It's easy to shut off the Bitcoin miners, and divert the electricity to the local economy. Bitcoin mining creates jobs. Bitcoin mining incentivizes energy infrastructure build-out. Bitcoin mining monetizes stranded energy. Just as we're discovering how amazing Bitcoin mining is for: Monetizing stranded and unused energy sources Providing funding for poor rural populations Preventing unnecessary natural gas venting Monetizing landfill methane So what does Vitalik do? "Hold my beer, we're moving to proof of stake" You can see how fake and financialized the Ethereum economy is. Stake your 32 ETH and earn interest on your unregistered securities until the SEC shuts you down. That 32 ETH is money that could be used instead to build solar farms, wind farms, or nuclear power plants. Capital is fungible and mobile. Ethereum's proof of stake is locking up perfectly good capital in a worthless scheme. And now that scheme has made ETH an OFAC-captured coin. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

WEF hopes to see the "handover of crypto technology and blockchain infrastructure to more regulated and established institutions." I argue that regulated companies are centralized points of failure (e.g. BlockFi, Gemini Earn, Genesis) and have fared much worse than Bitcoin. WEF wants cryptocurrencies that it can control through proof of stake and pressure points like living founders. This is one reason that the Davos crowd dislikes Bitcoin. Only Bitcoin offers us a life-raft in the coming world of CBDC's (central bank digital currencies), which will allow tyrants to control every aspect of our lives. Everyone is eventually going to have to make a choice: Do you want a centrally controlled spy coin that will keep you and your descendants in a digital prison?

In this video, I discuss Jamie Dimon's recent comments about Bitcoin at Davos. In particular, I cover the larger context of JP Morgan's criminal history, as well as the myth that Satoshi could return and increase the maximum supply of Bitcoin beyond 21 million coins. In order to do such a thing, Satoshi would need to convince a significant number of Bitcoin nodes to run his revised software-- which would directly go against the incentives of Bitcoiners not to do anything that dilutes their holdings of Bitcoin. Jamie Dimon demonstrates an arrogance and lack of intellectual curiosity that is difficult to fathom. He resorts to outdated talking points like "Bitcoin bad, blockchain good," without realizing how ignorant he sounds. He also doesn't seem to understand that Bitcoin software is open source and available for anyone to peruse. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss Bitcoin and greater fool theory. Are the critics correct that all you can do with Bitcoin is sell it to a greater fool? Absolutely not. There's something quite significant that you can do with your Bitcoin besides sell it to a greater fool: You can send your Bitcoin to anyone on the planet using Bitcoin's global financial network, in a p2p manner and without needing to ask a bank or anyone else for permission. You can send your Bitcoin to a politician or human rights advocate who is trying to help overthrow a violent and corrupt regime. You can send your Bitcoin to someone in the Global South who needs it to pay for food or shelter, without having to pay Western Union a 40% fee. Here's something else that you can do with your Bitcoin besides sell it to a greater fool: You can store it in your house on a hardware wallet, along with a 12 word recovery seed engraved on a steel plate. If you do this, you don't have to trust a bank not to freeze or steal your money. And you don't have to trust a central bank not to debase your money. Is there anywhere on earth that this might be useful? Why do "greater fool theory proponents" never mention these uses? Could it be that they are either ignorant or just apologists for the fiat financial system like Warren Buffett? Near the end of the video, I also discuss how Bitcoin offers zero cash flow, like all bearer assets like gold, jewelry, fine art, etc. An asset can generate zero cash flow and still have significant value. If you hold Bitcoin or physical gold in self-custody, no one can freeze them or turn them off. That's definitely not true for cash held in a bank, or stocks or bonds held in a brokerage account. In a world of political persecution, WEF-dominated narratives, central bank debasement, and CBDC's being rolled out, is there actually zero use for a bearer asset like Bitcoin? History will show that those who failed to buy any Bitcoin were the true greater fools. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I argue that Bitcoin is not backed by anything, though it is certainly "secured" or protected by Bitcoin miners and the general hash rate of the network-- which provide protection from malicious chain rewrites. Bitcoin miners help to secure the Bitcoin blockchain by making it time-consuming and expensive to rewrite blocks in the blockchain. This security is provided by the combination of highly efficient hashing hardware plus electricity, as well as certain economic incentives. At the end of the video, I discuss various things that 51% attacks by malicious Bitcoin miners cannot do: 1) They cannot change the consensus rules 2) They cannot print up fake Bitcoin 3) They cannot steal your Bitcoin They can only attack the tip of the blockchain and cause temporary problems. If you attack Bitcoin and lose, it only strengthens the network and helps to deter future attackers. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss the problems with crypto/coins/tokens that are backed by something else like gold or US dollars. Something-backed tokens must rely on a trusted third party to store and custody the underlying asset, as well as facilitate redemptions (i.e. conversions of the token into the underlying asset). This itself is a huge attack vector: if you want to attack the token, you need only attack the custodian or other centralized third party. The failure of the gold standard and Nixon suspending the USD's convertibility into gold is a perfect example of failure mode. If you own a something-backed token, you need to trust the issuer to keep its promises (unlike the US did to France)-- and you also need to trust that the issuer itself will not be pressured by a stronger outside party to do the same thing. Trust, trust, trust. Why in the world would we ever want to reinvent this kind of system that has failed again and again? When you hold your own Bitcoin private keys, your Bitcoin is a bearer asset that cannot be turned off, frozen, or deactivated by anyone. You also need a native bearer asset like BTC to pay the Bitcoin miners. If they were being paid in USD or physical gold, that would be another attack vector. At the end of the video, I discuss how Bitcoin has no competitors as a digital bearer asset. Ethereum's premine, its move to proof of stake, and its repeated hard forks makes it unsuitable.

Historians will look back on Buffett as the quintessential example of Cantillon wealth and fiat privilege, given his investment reliance on fiat food, government bailouts, rent seeking, and central bank money printing. Buffett benefited greatly from the 2008-2009 bank bailouts. For US banks, it's heads I win, tails you lose. They privatize the profits in good times and socialize the losses in bad times. Even Buffett's concept of a moat (sustainable competitive advantage) relies heavily on government intervention and regulatory barriers that make it difficult for new entrants. In everything Buffett touches, he reminds us how anti-progress and pro-rent-seeking he is. He only embraced Apple and Amazon when they became rent-seeking monopolies of their own. He has zero interest in pushing forward humanity with new tech. So it's no surprise that the guy who has benefitted from peak fiat doesn't like Bitcoin and calls it rat poison. History will not smile kindly on the life and investments of Warren Buffett. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Join the Trader University email list: https://www.trader.university/email-list In this video, I examine the many differences between Bitcoin (a digital commodity without issuer) and XRP (an unregistered security that's been used by Ripple Labs to fund its operations and enrich its founders, as well as pay for anti-Bitcoin marketing campaigns). Ripple and XRP are the antithesis of Bitcoin, by being highly centralized, pro-CBDC, and wide open to government attack, without true decentralized consensus. Bitcoin is a decentralized protocol that no small group of insiders can control or change--unlike Ripple and XRP. Decentralization is important if you want your money to be neutral. If you don't care about decentralization, just stick to the USD because it is backed by nukes and men with guns that Apple or Ripple can never compete with. Not investment advice!

In this video, I discuss the ongoing lawsuit by the SEC against Ripple Labs, and its possible outcome. According to legal filings, Ripple Labs and its executives were given repeated warnings by the SEC about XRP being an unregistered security. In spite of this, Ripple allegedly ignored all warnings and instead chose to fund lobbyists in Washington DC to try to get an exemption for XRP. Based on the evidence that I present in this video, I believe that Ripple will lose its case to the SEC-- and thus remain cut off from US capital markets. Why do I hate Ripple, Ethereum, Cardano, etc? They are unethical. They are decentralized in name only. They are constantly muddying the waters. They are constantly funding attacks on Bitcoin.

In this video, I discuss various scenarios surrounding GBTC and its possible liquidation. Liquidating this trust would almost certainly have a large impact on the short-term price of Bitcoin, as all of those Bitcoin held by GBTC hit the market. However a dissolution or liquidation of the trust is highly unlikely simply because it throws off so much cash from its 2% management fee. It would make more sense for DCG to sell GBTC to another sponsor, rather than liquidating it. If you hold real BTC in cold storage, you don't even need to follow this saga about reckless over-leveraged companies. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
