Use the discount code YT99 to get the best price.

In this video, I discuss how the unravelling of crypto exchanges like FTX helps to destroy both paper Bitcoin and paper Bitcoiners. If you thought you were holding your Bitcoin on FTX, it turns out that neither you nor FTX were holding any real Bitcoin.

If everyone withdraws their Bitcoin off the exchanges, it will cause the bad exchanges (who are not holding real Bitcoin) to go under, and it will also provide a lesson to surviving exchanges that they should never only partially reserve their Bitcoin.

Grayscale is refusing to provide cryptographic proof of BTC backing their GBTC product. I think that this is a huge red flag, and may suggest that the trust is not fully backed by real Bitcoin.

Why else would they be trying to raise new capital, while refusing to provide proof of reserves? This goes against the whole Bitcoin ethos-- to ask someone to trust you, rather than allowing them to verify your Bitcoin holdings for themselves.

When paper Bitcoin is destroyed (as it was in the FTX blow-up), it should (all else being equal) exert upwards pressure on the price of real Bitcoin.
