In this video, I discuss similarities and differences between Bitcoin and Kaspa.
While Kaspa does many things right (no premine, proof of work, capped supply), its concentrated founding team and devs have loudly-stated public political views that undermine the supposed neutrality of its founding, as well as leading to concerns down the road when it comes to future forks.
Because Yonatan did not disappear like Satoshi, Yonatan's personality and political likes and dislikes will always loom over the project, and lead to questions about his potential influence over Kaspa's future.
I am especially concerned about how this might make Kaspa unsuitable for Palestinians, or Muslims from other countries.
Competitors always underestimate the importance of Bitcoin's immaculate conception, its network effects, and its head start.
Creating a new money is not just about the tech-- it is also about the social context and neutrality of its founding.
Money is a winner take all competition. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be the sole winner.

In this video, I discuss Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), a US Bitcoin mining company that continues to innovate at the cutting edge of corporate stupidity.
In the past, MARA has participated in OFAC censorship, spammed the chain with inscription garbage that crowds out legitimate monetary transactions, and now in a final act of desperation is mining shipcoins.
To add injury to insult, MARA management's compensation continues to rise, even as the stock price continues to fall.
Short sellers would seem to agree with this analysis, and there is a very real chance that this company does not survive.

In this video, I discuss how to deprogram yourself, and get on the path to recovery from years of abuse and gaslighting by governments, schools, corporations, lobbying groups, and the media:
1) Follow the incentives
2) Don't be mesmerized by the white lab coats
3) "97% of experts agree" red flag
4) Most government officials are clueless muppets
5) There are very few awake adults on the planet
6) The stated official reason is never the real reason
7) When the government tells you that something will last 2 weeks, it really means years or decades
8) The fiat financial system is a gigantic scam
How to deprogram yourself:
1) Always pay attention to the incentives
2) Never take financial advice from poor people
3) Never take medical or nutritional advice from unhealthy people
4) Stop listening to the "experts"
5) Stop following "the news"
6) Learn to actually think for yourself, instead of just repeating something that you read online this morning
7) Stop scrolling
8) Read more things that were written over 100 years ago
9) Hang out with more Bitcoiners and other insane conspiracy theorists

In this video, I discuss the power of dollar cost averaging into Bitcoin, rather than entering via a single purchase.
Dollar cost averaging (DCA) imposes the discipline of buying fewer sats when the fiat price is higher and more sats when the fiat price is lower, thus giving you a lower fiat cost basis.
In addition to dollar cost averaging, it's important to hodl BTC, instead of trading in and out. As Jack Bogle used to say, "time in the market beats timing the market."

In this video, I discuss the possibility that Bitcoin might be a psyop (psychological operation) that is being used by governments against their citizens.
I conclude that fiat money is the real psyop, not Bitcoin. Fiat money is perhaps the biggest psyop in human history.
It's crazy that we allow a small group of people to determine the price and supply of money, and to print up unlimited money ex nihilo to fund bureaucrats and sociopaths. The fact that we allow this shows that we are all victims of a massive, multi-decade psyop.
Opt out of this madness, and opt in to Bitcoin, which is freedom money.

In this video, I discuss the coming distribution of BTC from Mt Gox's bankruptcy trustee, and what it could mean for Bitcoin's price action in the coming weeks.
Creditors have had many years to sell their claims, and hedge funds who bought those claims have been able to easily hedge their positions, so this market response is probably an overreaction and a good buying opportunity.
Long-term hodlers should ignore news and flows like this, and focus instead on using lower fiat prices to accumulate more BTC if possible.

In this video, I discuss crypto's fatal flaw, which is that it is neither special nor scarce. Anyone and everyone can and does try to print up their own money, dump it on naive retail investors, and then buy BTC with the proceeds.
Only Bitcoin is a truly scarce digital commodity, with credible forward monetary policy. By contrast, Ethereum is still controlled by a small group of insiders and premine beneficiaries who like to repeatedly hard fork and keep changing the monetary policy.
Bitcoin: there is no second best.

In this video, I discuss how sound money, free markets, and corporations can work together to coordinate and scale human activity and productivity.
The effectiveness of corporations when it comes to raising capital and then designing, building, and distributing complex modern items like computers and aircraft suggests that there will still be stocks on a Bitcoin standard.
At the same time, it's important to remember that stocks are not neutral, censorship-resistant p2p money that you can send to anyone or move anywhere in a brain wallet.
Rather, stocks are paper assets that are at the mercy of company management, the board, and myriad operational, regulatory, and jurisdictional risks.

In this video, I discuss how free markets do a much better job of providing goods and services to people than do centrally-planned economies.
It's a common mistake today to think that "really important things" (like education, healthcare, defense, food production, etc) should be delegated to the government.
If something is really important, then it is too important to be left to the government-- and should be handled by the free market instead.
So who will build the roads? That's like asking who will make the pencils, or run the grocery stores, or build the rockets, if the government doesn't do it. The answer is: anyone who wants to, or thinks that they can make a profit by doing so.
In the first few decades of the US, most roads were privately financed and constructed. And are modern government roads really that great after all?
Take healthcare out of the hands of the government. Take education out of the hands of the government. And most importantly: take money creation out of the hands of government.
Stop brainwashing people in school that money is another one of those essential government services (chartalism), or that money needs any sort of government blessing in order to function effectively.
It doesn't. Gold and silver emerged as money spontaneously over thousands of years. Gold and silver did not become money because governments blessed them. It's actually the opposite: governments began to issue coins made out of silver and gold, because the free market had already converged on those precious metals.
Government schools are responsible for teaching the big lie of chartalism, that money can only come from the government. But don't be surprised when a government warns you how essential its services are. What else would you expect to hear from a self-interested monopoly?

In this video, I discuss how free markets are a coordination mechanism that allows millions of people to cooperate peacefully together, build things, and exchange things voluntarily.
Price signals in a free market convey important information, which if ignored or suppressed can lead to shortages, capital misallocation, and a lower standard of living.
Bitcoin is returning us to a world of free markets, underpinned by a neutral commodity money that is ready for the digital age.
The Bitcoin Revolution is leading us to the Bitcoin Renaissance: a better and more fair world of human flourishing in the arts and sciences-- and a world where unproductive people cannot siphon off the economic energy of productive people through money printing.

In this video, I elaborate on yesterday's video, demonstrating how the US-Saudi petrodollar deal was not a legal agreement with an expiration date, but rather a global consensus that has been unravelling over the past few years, as nation-states begin to trade in crude oil using rupees, rubles, yuan, and gold as payment.
The end result of this unravelling is that there will be fewer nation-state, central bank, and corporate holders of USD and US Treasuries, which puts pressure on the Fed to make up the difference. This has inflationary consequences, but is good news for Bitcoin's fiat price.
I also discuss how holding Bitcoin ETFs instead of real BTC puts you at a huge disadvantage when it comes to self-custody and censorship-resistant payments.

In this video, I discuss the history of the petrodollar system, and how it was used after the ending of the gold standard to encourage demand for USD and US Treasuries.
Saudi Arabia recycled its petrodollars back into US Treasuries, thus helping to keep US interest rates low, even in the face of decades of deficit spending and massive issuance of US government debt.
China did something similar, recycling its trade surplus back into US Treasuries, keeping US interest rates low and thereby helping to prop up US consumer demand (via taking on debt) for more Chinese goods.
That old world is now ending, with countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China willing to trade directly in yuan, commodities, or manufactured goods, thus bypassing the need for US dollars.
As nation-states and their central banks hold fewer US Treasuries, the burden is shifted to the Fed to print money and buy them as the buyer of last resort.
The world will never return to a gold or oil standard, but will instead embrace Bitcoin as the new global reserve asset.

In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin (BTC) is the next GameStop.
Bitcoin is the real way to fight this revolution, by opting out of the broken and corrupt fiat financial system and opting into an asset that you can control, without needing to rely on banks, brokerages, custodians, or regulators.
Instead of trading inside of a rigged system, consider just buying BTC, withdrawing it from the exchange into cold storage, and heading to the beach.
It's a peaceful life-- but it has the potential to defund corrupt governments and central bankers.
And make you rich at the same time.

In this video, I discuss how OTC desks work, as well as how the global arbitrage of Bitcoin's price works. This ensures that OTC desks or exchanges can never run out of BTC to sell.
If there is a shortage of BTC for buyers, the price of BTC will adjust upwards to draw in new sellers, just as prices adjust for stocks, bonds, and commodities.

In this video, I discuss the wall of institutional money that is headed for BTC and the spot BTC ETFs. Even if institutional investors like pension funds allocated just 1% to Bitcoin, the resulting inflows would be enormous.
The good news is that when institutional investors (banks, pensions, endowments, hedge funds, etc) buy the spot Bitcoin ETFs, it has the paradoxical effect of also enriching Bitcoiners in Nigeria or Venezuela or Turkey (or the US) who own real BTC.
There's no zero sum game here.

In this video, I compare Solana and Bitcoin's on-chain transaction volume, uptime record, as well as the requirements for running a node.
Solana has high throughput and low fees, but at the expense of true decentralization. The cost and technical expertise needed to run a Solana node puts it out of reach of 99% of people on earth.
Solana also had a large premine, and suffers from the same problems that plague all proof of stake networks.
Ignore everything in this space except for BTC, because there is no second best.

https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/bitcoin-forum
In this video, I discuss Bitcoin's scarce blockspace and high transaction fees, with reference to Yogi Berra's famous aphorism: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
Bitcoin has higher transaction fees than most blockchains because its digital real estate has the most demand. The only reason that your blockchain has lower transaction fees is because your coin is losing and global demand for it and associated blockspace is not as high as it is for Bitcoin.
Having high transaction fees is a feature, not a bug. It helps to compensate Bitcoin miners against the backdrop of an ever-decreasing block subsidy (currently 3.125 BTC and trending to zero).
If people don't want to hodl your coin, then your coin will never develop a strong circular economy, where people want to both earn it and spend it.
And if no one wants to hodl your coin, then you are at a distinct disadvantage to Bitcoin, which not only has many more merchants and other people who want to accept it as payment (strong network effects) than any other crypto in the world, but which also has the strongest hodler community in the world.
Bitcoiners invented "hodling," and no one does it like a fanatical committed Bitcoiner. Altcoiners are constantly searching for the next pump, so that they can dump their current coin and buy more BTC with the proceeds.
That's why every single altcoin chart will continue to go to zero against BTC forever. No one wants hot potato money. Everyone wants digital gold.
"Transaction fees are so high that no one wants to use Bitcoin anymore."
This common cope has strong Yogi Berra vibes: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
The only reason that your blockchain has low fees relative to Bitcoin is because your blockchain is losing against Bitcoin.
