The Winklevoss twins created a crypto casino and a toxic yield product (Gemini Earn), and are now seeking to deflect blame by attacking Barry Silbert and the Digital Currency Group. Barry Silbert has proven himself an enemy of Bitcoin again and again, especially during the blocksize wars of 2016-2017. The past few months have shown that the biggest thing holding back the industry is not Bitcoin maxis, but rather unscrupulous shipcoiners like the Winklevii and Silbert. Not investment advice!

Join the Trader University email list: https://www.trader.university/email-list In this video, I discuss the Bank of Japan struggling to maintain yield curve control (YCC), and one possible solution that could be tried by a new BoJ governor in April 2023: 1) Sell off large holdings of US Treasuries for USD cash 2) Sell USD cash, buy JPY 3) Use JPY for yield curve control and monetizing Japanese government deficit spending. The big picture is that both friends (Japan) and enemies (Russia, China) of the US are slowly moving away from holding US Treasuries as a reserve asset. The whole world is beginning to explore alternate financial systems that could be based on commodity-backed currencies, or even a Bitcoin standard. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss Satoshi's approach to Bitcoin network security, and how he was not averse to using more powerful hashing hardware to defend the network. Trying to make your crypto ASIC-resistant is like mandating that you can only bring a knife to a gun fight. There's nothing virtuous or commendable about it. Satoshi understood that a hash arms race would unfold. He was correct, and now Bitcoin has passed the "ASIC event horizon" unlike any other crypto. If Monero ever actually became valuable like Bitcoin, companies would develop ASICs for it. There's no way to stop people from building highly specialized hardware to mine your crypto. You can keep changing the hashing algorithm, but if it makes economic sense, large companies will develop ASICs to mine it. This creates massive centralization and benefits large incumbents with billions of dollars to spend on R&D. Bitcoin has fortunately passed the ASIC event horizon. Bitcoin ASICs are no longer made by a single company like Bitmain. Bitcoin ASICs are becoming commodified, and there's no other crypto asset that has made this transition. Not investment advice!

In this video, I dispel the FUD surrounding the concentration of Bitcoin mining pools. Bitcoin mining pools are nothing more than node services that exist in cyberspace. They do not custody the actual Bitcoin mining machines (ASICs), which are free to come and go as they please. If a Bitcoin mining pool does something shady, people will point their ASICs to a different mining pool, as happened with Poolin in 2022.

In this video, I discuss whether Bitcoin has reached full global adoption and whether it is currently at the top of its S-curve, as crypto promoters like Richard Heart claim. I provide data that suggests that Bitcoin adoption is currently at approximately 0.36% of the global population. In other words, Bitcoin still has a very long runway ahead, and is nowhere close to the top of its S-curve. Bitcoin is superior monetary technology. It cannot be censored or debased, and it is a neutral money without an issuer. These superior properties suggest that it will continue to climb the S-curve for many decades to come.

In this video, I discuss Ray Youssef and Paxful's decision to delist Ethereum from its platform. This is the right decision to make, both for ethical reasons and business reasons. There is a very good chance that Ethereum ends up getting regulated as a security by the SEC this year, and so it makes good business sense to avoid having it on your platform. In addition, Ethereum's large pre-mine and move to proof of stake render it unethical money, and a huge distraction from the goal of banking the Global South and providing freedom money to the world.

In this video, I provide a 2022 "year in review" analysis of Bitcoin and the crypto implosion. Bitcoin bids farewell to 2022 and enters 2023 stronger than ever, while many tokens in crypto land will never come back. 2022 has been a great year for teaching investors the hard lessons about the differences between Bitcoin and crypto, as well as the importance of self-custody when it comes to Bitcoin. If you own only Bitcoin and hold it in cold storage (rather than keeping it on an exchange), you can sleep quite well at night-- no matter what is happening in the crypto toilet. Another important lesson is to never give your Bitcoin to someone else in order to earn yield on it. There is a good chance that the Bitcoin that you lend out will be re-hypothecated, and you will end up losing most or all of it. Many good things happened to Bitcoin in 2022: 1) It made its way from weak hands to strong hands. 2) A lot of "paper Bitcoin" was destroyed forever. 3) Retail investors continued to stack and hodl and now own more Bitcoin than ever before. This is great for Bitcoin's decentralization, as well as for its social layer and governance. As we enter 2023, remember that Bitcoin is digital gold, and crypto is digital toilet paper.

In this video, I discuss the Impervious browser, which is a layer 3 app that is built on top of Bitcoin's Layer 2 Lightning Network. Bitcoin has made some very wise scaling decisions over the past decade, with a focus on building a really strong, decentralized foundation before moving on to higher layers. The Lightning Network is a robust layer 2 built on top of Bitcoin that enables very fast and cheap transactions. The Lightning Network itself can be built upon, as we see with the Impervious browser. The Impervious browser is really a suite of apps, including a privacy-focused browser, a messaging app, a document sharing app, a Zoom-like video app, as well as the ability to stream sats between peers using the Lightning Network.

In this video, I discuss the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2022, and its assault not just on Bitcoiners, but also on the Constitutional rights as well as basic human rights of all Americans. This bill would force software devs, and anyone who runs a full node or Bitcoin miner, to register as a Financial Institution (FI). It would effectively make private ownership of Bitcoin illegal in the US. Almost everything in this bill is unconstitutional, and will be struck down by the courts if it passes.

Join the Trader University email list: https://www.trader.university/email-list In this video, I discuss crypto's dirty little secret-- which is that most Bitcoin FUD is being actively funded by crypto scammers and their air tokens, including SBF and FTX, a16z, Ethereum, Cardano, and Ripple, among many others. This dirty money sought to capture and corrupt regulators, the mainstream media, crypto news sites, academia, and even pop culture. When altcoiners tell Bitcoiners to "stay in their own lane," they miss the larger context of this informational warfare. If the SEC had done its job over the past few years, we would not be seeing these waves of propaganda that have been funded by dumping tokens on naive retail investors. These crypto founders and VC's are constantly muddying the waters re Bitcoin's energy usage, the actual security of proof of work vs. proof of stake, and are actively diverting capital from Bitcoin and thus delaying the Bitcoin revolution. When you shine light on crypto scammers, it helps to defund them and their lies. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss the fragility of protocols that run on proof of stake, like Ethereum. The lower Ethereum's price falls, the more people will choose to unstake their coins, which further erodes Ethereum's security and could lead to a death spiral. By contrast, capital deployed into the Bitcoin mining ecosystem remains there and cannot be withdrawn in the same way. Bitcoin mining machines (ASICs) can stick around for 6 years, and profit margins for ASIC manufacturers get reinvested into producing more powerful and efficient new ASICs thanks to human ingenuity and Moore's Law. Because these ASICs have only one use (mining Bitcoin), the capital cannot flee the Bitcoin mining ecosystem as easily or as quickly as staked deposits can flee the Ethereum staking ecosystem (once withdrawals are allowed by Ethereum devs). Regulators need to look into whether proof of stake protocols like Ethereum and Cardano are at risk of catastrophic implosions like Terra Luna. Institutional investors need to be able to explain to their LPs how and why their investment in ETH won't end as badly as Terra Luna. Do you feel lucky, punks? Not investment advice!

In this video, I discuss a number of reasons why Ethereum is and should be regulated as a security in the US. Ethereum clearly passes the Howey Test, as we see from early videos of Vitalik pitching investors to give him money to invest in a common enterprise, with a reasonable expectation of profits, derived from the efforts of Ethereum developers. You're definitely not a commodity if you have a leader with a bully pulpit, and a roadmap. You're also not a commodity if you do one hard fork after another-- including changing your consensus mechanism and monetary policy 8 years into the project. Bitcoin is different-- it operates through incremental changes expressed through soft forks, not hard forks. Making any changes to Bitcoin's code is always messy, contentious, and chaotic, because there is no one like Vitalik in charge. Bitcoin devs can unilaterally change the code, but nodes may refuse to run the new code. To change Bitcoin's code, you need a buy-in from disparate groups like miners, nodes, devs, hodlers, etc. This is extremely important to remember: unlike Ethereum, there is no small group of people who can unilaterally push through changes to the Bitcoin protocol. Bitcoin is a commodity because it does not have an issuer. It was not issued by a corporation, by a corporation pretending to be a foundation, or by a government. Ethereum will need to register with the SEC (which will involve disclosing executive compensation and risk factors), or risk losing access to the deepest capital markets in the world (US). Either way, I think things will go really badly for holders of ETH. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss the importance of spending Bitcoin in order to help jump-start the Bitcoin circular economy. You leave your long-term savings in cold storage, but create a separate hot wallet that you use to: 1) Spend BTC and replace by buying more BTC with fiat 2) Earn BTC and spend BTC I also highlight a couple of Bitcoin businesses based in Colorado, including Peony Lane Wines and Wrich Ranches. Bitcoin's social layer continues to get stronger, driven by rugged individuals who value self-sovereignty. Ranchers and independent farmers are a natural constituency of Bitcoin for this reason. If you are a business, it's important to remember that Bitcoiners are going to be a very wealthy and influential demographic worldwide. It's smart business to try to attract them. Accepting Bitcoin enables you to avoid that 3% credit card fee, and the hassle of having to deal with chargebacks. So many cryptos and blockchain projects offer absolutely nothing to the outside world, beyond a few insiders and venture capitalists. By contrast, Bitcoin offers a global monetary network that is open to everybody-- including vegans, vegetarians, carnivores, and omnivores. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss the ongoing dumpster fire at Ethereum, including OFAC censorship by Coinbase, the CFTC backing away from ETH as a commodity, as well as the ETH staking withdrawal fiasco. Commodity: 1) not issued by a government or corporation 2) cannot be changed by a small group of people Think crude oil, gold, etc. No one can deactivate the gold in your home safe. Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation can certainly deactivate your ETH. That's what they did with a chain rollback after the DAO hack in 2016 A commodity is not something issued by a software company like Ethereum or Cardano that is pretending not to be a software company. That's a security. Just because you did your ICO in Japan or Switzerland does not absolve you from registering as a security with the SEC, especially if your token is going to be trading on US exchanges like Coinbase. Ethereum is a software company. Vitalik is the CEO. ETH is an equity token that was issued to fund software development in order to make money for investors. Therefore ETH passes the Howey Test and is a security. The project is controlled by a few key people at ConsenSys and the Ethereum Foundation like Vitalik and Joe Lubin. The CFTC is finally waking up to these facts and backing away from ETH. This is very bad news for Ethereum, as it means that it will almost certainly end up being regulated by the SEC and having to file lots of disclosures that will cause investors to jump ship.

In this video, I discuss Bitcoin's speed, average block time, and final settlement assurances-- compared to traditional payment processors like Visa as well as "faster" blockchains like Litecoin (LTC). Satoshi chose a 10-minute average block time for a number of reasons: 1) To allow plenty of time for new blocks to propagate from node to node across the network globally (especially in a situation where there are many more nodes than there were in Satoshi's day or today); 2) To allow plenty of time for these nodes to check that each new block is following the consensus rules; 3) To minimize the number of chain reorgs and temporary forks. You can make faster blocks, but that will not provide greater final settlement assurances. Security and finality is provided by the amount of energy/time/work that an attacker would need to expend to rewrite the blockchain from your transaction block up to the present. Litecoin has faster average block times, but much slower final settlement times. Visa is even worse. Bitcoin focuses on a decentralized, secure base layer-- which allows for higher layers like the Lightning Network to handle faster, cheaper transactions that don't demand the same level of final settlement assurances. Satoshi made the average block time 10 minutes. This suggests that he was NOT designing the system to be used for small, fast payments like buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks. The Bitcoin base layer will eventually be used exclusively for settling large important transactions in the billions of dollars. It is a final settlement layer that is unparalleled.

In this video, I discuss whether Litecoin is better than Bitcoin. By comparing market cap, liquidity, global brand recognition, Lightning Network liquidity and number of channels, and other factors, I conclude that Litecoin has been unsuccessful at catching up to Bitcoin. Even if Litecoin turns out to be a commodity under US law, it doesn't mean that it will be a good investment going forward. Manure is also a commodity. Litecoin's own founder exited the project completely in December 2017, which can be taken as a strong sign that he didn't believe in its forward viability. The fact that Litecoin couldn't even make a new high against Bitcoin during the last bull market is another sign that Litecoin is a dying protocol. Bitcoin is the apex predator of money.

In this video, I discuss Bitcoin's distribution, and whether it could have been made more fair by allocating an equal share to every single human being in the world. What we see from Russia's voucher privatization program of 1992-1994, as well as El Salvador's Bitcoin distribution, is that people do not value things that they don't understand or that they get for free. To properly hodl Bitcoin for the long term, you have to understand it at a deep level. Only then will you be able to psychologically weather the volatility. Today you can get almost 6,000 sats for $1.00 and still no one cares. Everyone gets their Bitcoin at the price that they deserve. Fortunately, because Bitcoin is proof of work, having more coins does not give you additional control over the protocol. The morale of this story is that you can give people free things like Bitcoin, but most people will not value it. Instead, they will sell their Bitcoin to people who do value it, in which case you end up in a very similar situation to how Bitcoin's distribution actually worked. Not investment advice!

In this video, I discuss Satoshi's real innovation, which is combining blockchain with distributed proof of work. Blockchain by itself is not very interesting. Blockchain provides a way of showing if the history of transactions has been tampered with. But only by adding in proof of work do you make it impossible to edit the history of transactions, thus ensuring the immutability of the ledger. Satoshi's genius was combining blockchain, distributed proof of work, a network of nodes, public/private key cryptography, etc. People who say "blockchain, not Bitcoin" are either altcoin scammers or people who simply don't understand what a blockchain does.

In this video, I discuss the irony of the ECB (European Central Bank) arguing vehemently against Bitcoin, even though they pretend to be convinced that it is about to disappear forever. This blog post is nothing more than a rehash of Bitcoin FUD 101: Bitcoin is too slow, it wastes energy, it's used mostly for illegal transactions, etc. What the ECB is actually concerned about are potential exits (like Bitcoin) from the Euro fiat nightmare. The ECB balance sheet has skyrocketed over the past decade, inflation is still running hot in the Eurozone, and the ECB cannot turn the money printers back on without exacerbating already high energy prices. Central bankers and fiat finance will be consigned to the dustbin of history. While the Euro will no longer exist in 10 years from now, Bitcoin will be larger and more powerful than ever.

In this video, I discuss Casa adding multi-sig support for holders of Ethereum. Not only is this a betrayal of Casa's Bitcoin-only roots, but it also widens the attack surface of their product. For this reason, I would personally not feel safe holding any Bitcoin on the Casa app after this announcement. This is definitely great news for supporters of US Treasury and OFAC censored coins like Ethereum. Now there's finally a place where you can safely store your pre-mined, unregistered securities, while you wait for the next big change in monetary policy from the oligarchs that control Ethereum. If you actually care about the financial health of your company and your customers, you will be a Bitcoin-only company. This is probably the beginning of the end for Casa, as they sell their soul to try to survive. Jameson Lopp has done a lot of good for the Bitcoin space, so I am very sad to see this development. I hope that he takes the time to reconsider and is able to push back against these stupid crypto VC's. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
