In this video, I discuss common questions about Bitcoin including:
1) Its MIT license
2) Whether the NSA controls the SHA-256 hashing algorithm
3) Whether the government knows who Satoshi is
4) Bitcoin's speed
5) The price of Bitcoin and Bitcoin transaction fees
6) Bitcoin's scalability
7) Bitcoin's energy usage
I conclude that Bitcoin has a robust, anti-fragile design and will continue to take market share from traditional stores of value like gold and real estate.
Bitcoin is hope-- and its future is very bright indeed.

In this video, I discuss the confluence of 3 trends that could lead to a thousand-year prison for humanity:
1) Movement passports
2) Internet passports
3) Money passports
The ultimately goal of the surveillance state is to control not only a population's physical movement, but also their movement in cyberspace, as well as the movement of their money.
A large cyberattack, followed by a KYC ("Know Your Customer") internet, would be one way of bringing this to fruition.
The rise of CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) is another way to control a population by controlling their money.
Bitcoin will be one of the most important ways to exit this system and be able to live outside of it.

In this video, I discuss recent volatility in Bitcoin, and how I deal with it.
Rather than constantly checking the fiat price of Bitcoin, I prefer to "value my wealth in Bitcoin." I believe that Bitcoin is a scarce asset, just like gold, beach real estate, or Picasso paintings. As such, it should function as an excellent "store of value" over time, unlike fiat currencies like the US dollar.
You should make sure that you understand how Bitcoin works before you invest in it. Even then, you should only invest as much as you are able to lose. There are known risks with Bitcoin, as well as unknown risks, which could lead to it going to zero.
I believe that Bitcoin is a category winner in the category of "store of value." It benefits from network effects in the same way as companies like Facebook or Amazon. When there are network effects at work, there is a tendency for a single company or currency to win out-- called the "winner take all" endgame.
I value my wealth in Bitcoin, which means that I am constantly looking for ways to buy more Bitcoin, rather than constantly checking what the USD price of Bitcoin is.
Bitcoin, like software, is eating the world. Because of the game theory involved, early adopters stand to benefit the most, with everyone else (whether it is pension funds, corporations, or even nation-states and central banks) playing catch up.

In this video, I discuss whether Ethereum passes the Howey Test and must thus be classified as a security. This discussion extends to all of the DeFi tokens that have been built on top of Ethereum.
SEC Chief Gary Gensler certainly believes that Ethereum is a security, as he details in his 2018 cryptocurrency course at MIT.
I believe that regulatory risks are not currently being priced into the DeFi space. Let the buyer beware.

In this video, I attempt to "steelman" the arguments in favor of Ordinals/inscriptions/NFTs on Bitcoin.
I conclude that adding inscriptions to the Bitcoin blockchain might be a good way of preserving documents or images in a way that cannot be censored or edited and that is globally distributed.
This is definitely not the best and highest use of the Bitcoin blockchain (which is to provide a decentralized ledger for the world's most sound money), but it's an interesting potential application.
Here are some interesting things that you could permanently embed in the Bitcoin blockchain using Ordinals:
Bitcoin white paper
US Constitution
Bible
Koran
Vedas
Shakespeare sonnet
Mozart string quartet
Maxwell's Equations
Einstein Field Equations
Schrodinger Equation
How To 3D Print Something To Protect Your Family
How To Synthesize Useful Chemical Compounds
Political manifestos
1984
Brave New World
A true history of the events of 2020-2023
Critiques of CBDCs and warnings
Once embedded, these documents can never be erased, even if the original poster changes his mind or is coerced to change his mind.
It's almost like putting a very special ant in amber and saving it for the ages. This is Bitcoin as a "free speech repository."
I still wish that there weren't NFTs on Bitcoin, but I found this steelmanning exercise to be quite useful.

In this video, I discuss "Proof of Work" (PoW) and "Proof of Stake" (PoS) as consensus mechanisms for cryptocurrencies. I conclude that PoW is more secure and less vulnerable to bad incentives and attacks than is PoS.
In PoW, miners use expensive equipment and lots of electricity to secure the network.
PoS uses a lot less electricity than PoW, but is not nearly as secure. This is demonstrated by the relative amounts of wealth secured by Bitcoin vs. PoS coins like Cardano.
Problems with PoS include:
1) The rich get richer: PoS looks very similar to the current Federal Reserve system and its constituent banks. PoS suffers from the Cantillon Effect, just like the current fiat system.
2) Under PoS, the entire network can be taken down if the validators decide to collude. There may be financial or political incentives to do this that will exceed the cost of the lost coins that were staked.
3) There is no way to settle fork disputes with PoS.
4) It is much more expensive to rewrite previous blocks in the blockchain under PoW than it is under PoS. This makes PoW inherently more secure.

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.
Actual concentration and custody does exist in Ethereum staking pools, and has led to OFAC censorship at the protocol level.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
