Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss the problems with using a metric like "Bitcoin dominance" when analyzing Bitcoin's market share and adoption. Bitcoin dominance is defined as Bitcoin's market cap as a percentage of the total crypto market cap. But not only does the Bitcoin dominance index include centralized, premined proof of stake coins, but it also includes melting fiat ice cube USD stablecoins like USDT and USDC. There is no rational reason to group such disparate categories together in the same index. Bitcoin dominance is also a very misleading metric because the basket of coins is constantly changing and includes a lot of survivorship bias. A true Bitcoin dominance index would also take into account traditional stores of value assets like gold, stocks, and real estate that Bitcoin continues to steal market share from. True decentralization (as only Bitcoin possesses) might not matter to investors today, but it will be critical going forward as nation-state attacks on crypto and Bitcoin escalate. Only Bitcoin is neutral, anti-fragile money-- And as such, will continue to eat the world. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss how the U.S. government stole its citizens' gold through FDR's Executive Order 6102. In 1933, all Americans were required to turn over their gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates to the U.S. government in exchange for $20.67 per ounce. Failure to comply meant a fine of $10,000 (about $170,000 in today's dollars) or up to 10 years in prison. Immediately after the U.S. government had collected this gold (which is now housed in the U.S Bullion Depository in Ft Knox, Kentucky), it devalued the US dollar against gold, by setting the new exchange rate at $35.00 per ounce. This 40% devaluation of the U.S. dollar was done without the consent of the American people, and constituted a huge theft of wealth. Today, the Federal Reserve continues to steal from the holders of U.S. dollars by constantly printing new USD and thus weakening the purchasing power of the currency. Good ways to hedge against this continued theft include gold, Bitcoin, and stocks, all of which should do well over the next 10 years as the Fed continues its money printing. Not investment advice!

Here's how DarthCoin describes his Bitcoin citadel: "This citadel is not a Death Star, a castle, a mansion or an Eiffel Tower. Nothing like that. Will be just a homesteading place, with some small houses, a vegetables garden, fruit trees, some domestic animals and other utilities, enough to live a simple life in a self-sustaining way as much is possible." DarthCoin's building method is a great example of a beautiful meditative practice, working slowly with his hands, grounded in the earth, pulling out rocks-- true proof of work. There's something about Bitcoin that reminds people of the old-fashioned virtues of self-sufficiency (unstoppable money, food, water, etc), and localism (don't trust those 3,000 miles away to look after your best interests). Bitcoin is this weird marriage of conservatism and progressivism, which makes it the perfect medium for uniting people: Scruffy old goldbug mentality meets starry-eyed techno-futurist. Bitcoin is the unexpected, shocking love child of the past mating with the future. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Get my new Bitcoin book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RX8Q4ZQ In this video, I discuss yesterday's Bitcoin flash crash and possible causes, which include: 1) "Buy the rumor, sell the news" 2) An intervention by the IMF 3) Liquidation of leveraged longs 4) Insider knowledge of the SEC's attack on Coinbase's new lending product, which was revealed publicly by Brian Armstrong this morning. Whatever the cause, sharp dips in Bitcoin are always good news for Bitcoiners with low time preferences who want to accumulate more. Bitcoin is the honey badger of money, and even the IMF is beginning to realize that Bitcoin cannot be stopped. Not investment advice!
