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. Not investment advice!

A Beginner's Guide To Bitcoin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RX8Q4ZQ In this video, I discuss the short-term correlation between stocks and Bitcoin, and the differences between a safe haven, stock market hedge, and store of value. Bitcoin is an emerging store of value that is slowly stealing market share from other stores of value like gold. Over the short-term, Bitcoin may crash with stocks, but only because its ultimate value is not yet understood widely by market participants. If you wait until something is fully priced in by the market, you will always miss out on the most price appreciation (e.g. Amazon). Even historical stores of value like gold have a history of selling off during market crashes like 2008 and March 2020. "Store of value" status needs to be measured over decades, not days. Over the long-term, Bitcoin has proven itself to be NGU ("number go up") technology, due to its scarcity and utility. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

A Beginner's Guide To Bitcoin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RX8Q4ZQ In this video, I discuss how Bitcoin transaction fees work, in the context of unconfirmed transactions waiting in the mempool to be picked up by a miner. The more crowded the mempool, the higher transaction fees will usually be. Transaction fees are also determined by the amount of data in your transaction. If you have more inputs or outputs, you will pay a higher fee. At the end of the video, I discuss the importance of doing consolidation transactions when the mempool is relatively empty and fees are low. This will save you money if you ever need to move that Bitcoin later on, by consolidating it into a single UTXO. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I continue my investigation into Monero vs. Bitcoin and examine more trade-offs that Monero has made, in order to increase privacy at the base layer. In particular, I examine how common hard forks are for Monero, especially compared to Bitcoin. Does this imply that the devs have more control than they should in leading the Monero community? Repeated hard forks could certainly hurt Monero's potential classification as a digital commodity by the SEC. My own belief is that a protocol that strives to be money should not be changing things at the base layer/protocol level as frequently as Monero does. If the future of Bitcoin and Monero transactions ends up being off-chain, Bitcoin may have a big advantage thanks to its head start with Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network, eCash (Fedimint, Cashu), and statechains. I conclude by examining some very interesting tweets by Francis Pouliot which examine the greater context of Monero's privacy by discussing anonymity sets, as well as the liquidity and saleability of XMR compared to BTC.
