Is Bitcoin Crashing? Here’s What You Need To Know
Are we in the middle of a Bitcoin crash?
Let's take a look at Bitcoin's pricing history. One Bitcoin sold for $4,000 in early 2020, and by November 2021, it had risen to $69,000.
Many people became millionaires, but the price has dropped dramatically from November to May 2022, to roughly $30,000. This is a reduction of more than half. As a result, many investors who bought Bitcoin when it was in the stratosphere are now losing money.
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are open 24 hours a day, so prices can fluctuate drastically. Is this, however, the worst Bitcoin crash ever? Let's take a look

Is the Government Telling Us the Real Inflation Rate?
What is the real inflation rate, how is it measured and do the numbers tell the whole story?
You may have heard a lot about inflation and “CPI” recently given that the US is currently experiencing its worst inflation in nearly half a century. CPI stands for the consumer price index and it is the most notable measure of inflation. But some argue that the CPI does not tell the whole story and that inflation is even higher than the CPI figure quoted by the government.

Can We Combat Climate Change? Marian Tupy on Biggest Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know
Are things truly getting worse?
Ashton is joined by Author and Editor of Humanprogress.org, Marian Tupy to explore the most important global trends which receive limited mention in the media but are making the world a better place.
In their talk, Ashton and Marian explore:
Why the majority of Americans think things are becoming worse?
Why do brilliant people who are normally well positioned economically have the most negative opinions about the world?
How the last 40 years saw the biggest decline in global poverty of all time.
Why, despite the narratives propagated by climate alarmists, deaths from natural disasters have fallen 99 percent over the previous century?
Why are there more trees than at any point in human history?
How cancer deaths have declined dramatically since the 1990s
Why crime declined significantly since the 1970s and why it is starting to go up again?
Why are airplanes slower than they were in the 1970s?
And much more.

Bitcoin v. Ethereum: Which Is Better?
Is Bitcoin better than Ethereum? Check out the video to learn why!
Welcome to Bold TV with Ashton Cohen. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe to Bold TV for all things Bold.
#bitcoin #ethereum #financialnews
The two most popular cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, are fighting for the future.
Who will emerge victorious? Bitcoin is the first and most valuable decentralized cryptocurrency, with a market cap of over $700 billion.
Bitcoin is estimated to be owned by 46 million Americans now. In addition, a number of public companies, hedge funds, and institutional investors have invested. Furthermore, countries have now adopted Bitcoin as their official currency, and numerous towns are mining Bitcoin and issuing coins on the blockchain.
However, many individuals believe Ethereum is the way of the future. They argue that Ethereum is the superior crypto-asset because its blockchain is more advanced and scalable than Bitcoin's.
Ashton disagrees. Bitcoin is digital gold, and it cannot be controlled by anybody or any company, unlike Ethereum or any other government-backed fiat currency.
Bitcoin's supply is likewise capped, whereas Ethereum's is not. Government-backed currencies are rapidly growing their supply, causing inflation and robbing ordinary citizens of their money.
While Bitcoin's price is erratic, it has the ability to preserve wealth, provide property rights, and promote liberty for people all around the world.
Which do you think is better? Let us know in the comments below.

Democrats as the Party of the Rich? Republicans as the Working Class Party? Guest: Yuval Levin
Clip from Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast. Ashton is joined by one of the most astute thinkers and observers in American politics today, Dr. Yuval Levin. Ashton and Yuval have a fascinating discussion focusing on what the hell has gone wrong to American politics and American society. In particular, the two discuss: why US politics have become so polarized and if reasonable voices will prevail in the future; why every aspect of American society has become politicized; why seemingly every member of society’s “elite,” across every industry, shares the same opinions as each other and increasingly oppose the viewpoints of ordinary Americans; how the two parties are shifting their voting bases; why the Republican Party is starting to resemble the New Deal Coalition while the Democratic Party now resembles the Eisenhower coalition; how the ruling gerontocracy is failing the United States and what the country will look like once the octogenarian ruling class is out of power; and much more.

Clip: Does Cuba Have Great Healthcare? Guest: Ted Henken
Clip from Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast. Ashton is joined by Ted Henken, a distinguished scholar on Cuba and professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY).
Ashton and Ted have a fascinating conversation on all things Cuba and discuss: How Cuba's digital revolution and Cuban's increased access to the internet is changing Cuban society; How stable is the current Cuban regime under President Miguel Díaz-Canel?; Why hasn't Cuba followed in the footsteps of Communist led nations such as China & Vietnam who have embraced more free-trade and economic liberalisation? What is the truth about Cuba's often applauded healthcare system? Why some of the most educated and talented people in Cuban society chose to be taxi drivers, bakers, and even enter prostitution?

How Taxes Lead to Wars, Bitcoin's Future, & USD's Global Reserve Status w/ Dominic Frisby (CLIP)
Clip from Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast.
Ashton is joined by one of the most interesting and intelligent commentators on financial topics and the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency world, Dominic Frisby @Money, Markets & More with Dominic Frisby .
Ashton and Dominic have a fascinating discussion on the history of taxation and how our modern-day progressive tax system created the nation-state and enabled the destructive wars that defined the last two centuries.
Dominic and Ashton then discuss: Why progressives continue to support a tax system that hurts those its intended to help (i.e. working/middle-class, young people and immigrants) and helps those its intended to hurt?; Will the US Dollar lose its global reserve status?; Have the government overreaction to the Trucker Protests in Canada and the Russia/Ukraine war further catalyzed the rate of Bitcoin adoption?; Will Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) propel the West to adopt a more Orwellian/Chinese Social-Credit type of system?; Will many of the Nation-States in existence today disintegrate as we move into a more decentralized world? Why hasn't Gold appreciated much in value during an era of massive uncertainty and inflation? and much more.

Historian Sean McMeekin on Why Putin/Russia Wants Ukraine (CLIP)
Clip from Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast. Ashton is joined by historian and Bard College Professor of European History Sean McMeekin. Ashton and Sean begin the conversation by discussing the rationale and motivations for Russia/Putin in attempting an invasion of Ukraine.
Ashton and Sean then transition the conversation into the subject of McMeekin's latest book: Stalin's War: A New History of World War II.
McMeekin's revisionist approach to World War II is fascinating as he effectively makes the case that Stalin, not Hitler was the central figure of that era. This is an episode that novice and serious history buffs alike will find enjoyable.

Creating a Better California for the Middle Class. Guest: Pete Peterson (CLIP)
Clip from Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast. Ashton is joined by Pete Peterson. Pete is an expert on California politics and public policy and serves as the dean of Pepperdine’s School of Public Policy. Ashton and Pete discuss solutions to California's biggest problems which have resulted in a net migration of 1 million people moving out of California in the last decade (and 367,000 residents left California in 2021 alone).
Progressive politicians who run California declare that they are fighting for diverse, working class & middle class families. Yet as Peterson explains, most of the individuals who have left California over the last decade are working-class and middle-class families with minor children (and are disproportionately black and hispanic) while the relatively few people who have moved to California during the same time period are older, white Americans.
In addition, California ranks #49 out of the 50 states in income inequality, #49 in housing affordability, and California is home to half of the nation's homeless despite compromising only 12% of America's population. California also has the highest energy costs in the nation, highest taxes in the nation and students in California rank near the bottom of the nation (#45 out of the 50 states) in math and science proficiency.
How have progressives in California - who claim to represent the interests of the working class & the middle class - delivered the worst results in the nation for people in the stated socio-economic categories?
What can be done to fix California's numerous problems including homelessness, housing, taxation, costs of living and education? Ashton and Pete have a riveting discussion on the possible solutions to these problems.

The Ongoing Joe Rogan Censorship Crusade
Once again the US corporate news media has set its sights on annihilating the biggest threat to “democracy.” No, we’re not talking about the Chinese Communist Party, or Soros-funded district attorneys who refuse to prosecute crimes, or activist judges who undermine the Constitution, or deep-state agencies who routinely violate the civil liberties of every American.
This threat is far more dangerous than all those combined. It comes in the form of a 5’8 stand-up comedian/cage fighting commentator whose humility and attempt at objectivity stands in direct contrast to virtually every person with legacy media platform. This menace goes by the name of Joe Rogan.
Ashton explains how this effort to destroy Rogan is about much more than just cancelling him.
