The "Experts" Are Always Wrong (Airplanes, Trump, Bitcoin)
In this video, I discuss how the "experts" always underestimate the power and speed of technological change. They were wrong about airplanes, electricity, the Panama Canal, the internet, and most recently Bitcoin.
One should only listen to experts who have what Taleb calls "skin in the game." If a so-called expert has nothing to lose from a wrong prediction, he or she should not be relied upon. "Skin in the game" implies that you have something to lose (job, money) if your prediction is wrong.
Beware of listening to experts and talking heads-- they will steer you away from the best investments and into the worst investments. Turn off your TV and throw away your newspaper, especially if it is the New York Times.

In this video, I discuss whether Bitcoin is a bubble, as well as its carbon footprint and environmental impact.
If you are going to call Bitcoin a bubble, there must be something (whether price or fundamentals) that can be allowed to falsify your hypothesis. Otherwise you will remain stubborn and bearish all the way up to $1 million Bitcoin.
The tulip bubble popped once and never came back. Amazon popped, then came roaring back. Bitcoin appears to have much more in common with Amazon (network effects, etc) than with tulips.
Critiques of Bitcoin's energy usage and carbon footprint always fail to compare it to the costs necessary to secure the current fiat financial system, which includes endless war and hundreds of skyscrapers full of money manager, lawyers, and accountants who are trying to help you fight the Fed's currency devaluation.
More troubling, there is another double standard at work. The elites are allowed to have lots of children and fly around on private jets, while normal people are told to get rid of their car and not have kids.
Bitcoin is the money of the people. It is our best hope of changing the current wasteful and corrupt fiat financial system.

In this video, I discuss the UK travel rule, as well as crypto exchanges in Australia and the US limiting Bitcoin withdrawal amounts.
At some point, it may become impossible to withdraw any amount of Bitcoin from a regulated exchange or entity to self-custody. This could become necessary to help to close the exits from a rapidly inflating fiat currency.
In this context, I discuss how FDR closed the gold exits in 1933-1934 with Executive Order 6102, before massively devaluing the US dollar against gold. Something similar could happen if a government chose to seize a Bitcoin ETF custodian's holdings of BTC.
You could still get rich holding a Bitcoin ETF, but you won't get free.

In this video, I discuss the Evergrande default and its implications for global financial contagion, as well as the insights it provides into China's domestic policies surrounding wealth inequality.
China is trying to steer a course between the Scylla of wealth inequality and the Charybdis of household wealth being stored in real estate.
Is Evergrande another Lehman moment? I don't think so. This time around, like March 2020, central banks will react much more quickly to try to stabilize global asset prices.

In this video, I discuss more bad news for Ripple the company and for XRP the cryptocurrency.
Early investors are trying to sell shares of Ripple at a $6 billion valuation, which is well below where Ripple raised money in December 2019 at a $10 billion valuation. This is also a steep discount to the value of Ripple's XRP holdings, which are currently at least $14 billion. Insider selling at a deep discount provides an interesting window into what sophisticated investors believe Ripple XRP's future to be.
In addition, as the price of XRP has risen, it looks like Jed McCaleb (a co-founder) has increased the size of his daily XRP sales.
Retail investors who buy XRP are the bag-holders. As Warren Buffett is fond of saying, "If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy."
Bitcoin is the next Bitcoin.

In this video, I discuss alleged intimate connections between Ethereum, Joseph Lubin, and JP Morgan.
An audio tape has emerged that allegedly shows Joe Lubin showing potential ETH whales how to bypass concentration controls.
There is a new shareholder lawsuit that alleges that Infura and MetaMask were transferred from one corporate entity to a new corporate entity without full shareholder approval. This new corporate entity appears to be 10% owned by JP Morgan.
This allegedly gives JP Morgan and Joe Lubin extraordinary control over Ethereum infrastructure and wallet usage, and might help to explain the recent blocking of users in Venezuela and Iran.
It has also emerged that Ethereum insiders and JP Morgan have been working together since before the launch of Ethereum.
If you want an alternative to fiat that is also controlled by the bankers and corrupt insiders, Ethereum might be just the thing for you.
If you don't want a centralized, proof of stake controlled coin, there's only one real alternative-- which is Bitcoin.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
Joseph Lubin is an honorable man and brilliant entrepreneur. All of my sources are just random gossip on the internet, that may or may not be true. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. This video is just my wild speculations.

In this video, I discuss different approaches to starting new Bitcoin citadels and Bitcoin countries.
Perhaps the best solution is an interconnected global network of Bitcoin citadels that each cater to the peculiarities of their residents. This decentralized approach would be much more difficult for nation-states to attempt to stop.
Bitcoiners are already a global tribe, a decentralized and distributed country of like-minded people who love Bitcoin but still pursue their many individual interests.

In this video, I discuss important FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) accounting changes that will have long-term positive effects on corporate Bitcoin adoption.
By Bitcoin being moved to fair value accounting on corporate balance sheets, companies will now be able to both write up and write down their Bitcoin holdings, with the result probably flowing to the income statement.
Under the previous Bitcoin accounting regime, companies could only write down their Bitcoin holdings and take impairment charges.
People always underestimate the long-term effects of accounting changes on asset prices. This is huge win for publicly traded companies that choose to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, like MicroStrategy.
This accounting change will encourage many more public companies to buy and hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
Fiat is a melting ice-cube. If you are a company holding large amounts of cash on your balance sheet, you are destroying shareholder value and should instead be moving a portion of that fiat into Bitcoin.
Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
