In this video, I discuss how to create your own high interest rate savings account using ETH and DeFi protocols like MakerDAO, Uniswap, and Aave. This is a brand-new, permission-less form of online banking that runs on the Ethereum network and uses decentralized apps (DeFi protocols). Transaction fees are still very high in this space, but should come down in the future, if Ethereum is able to scale. DeFi is still very new and untested, so don't risk any money that you cannot afford to lose. Not investment advice! Consult a financial adviser.

In this video, I discuss various ways that a 51% attack on Bitcoin could be stopped by Bitcoin Core devs, full nodes, and ASIC manufacturers. 51% attacks are not as dangerous as many people believe. They CANNOT be used to rewrite the whole Bitcoin blockchain, print fake Bitcoin, increase the Bitcoin max supply of 21 million, steal your Bitcoin, or change any of the consensus rules. They CANNOT be used to make a lot of money from double spends either, so it is unlikely that a profit-minded attacker would ever use it. All that 51% attacks can do is to annoy people by making Bitcoin transactions take longer, censoring certain transactions, or temporarily stopping all Bitcoin transactions by mining a series of empty blocks. To do a 51% attack, a government would need to buy, build, or steal a lot of Bitcoin mining rigs (ASICs), which is basically impossible to do without the world noticing. So what happens when Bitcoiners learn that a 51% attack by the US government is on the horizon or has already started? Bitcoin Core devs create one line of code that blacklists miners with US-based IP addresses and whitelists miners with overseas IP addresses. These devs cannot force full nodes to run this software, but economically incentivized Bitcoiners running nodes will certainly run it. Mempools would also back up, leading to much higher transaction fees, that would incentivize more economically minded Bitcoin miners to plug in, thus reducing the attacker's % control of the hash rate. Bitcoin has a very strong social layer (smart, wealthy) that will do everything in its power to defend Bitcoin. Nobody is just going to sit on the sidelines and watch Bitcoin die. Once the 51% attack was over and the world saw the Bitcoin network still operating as usual-- There would be a mad rush to get some of this special money that even a nation-state attacker like the US government was unable to stop.

Join the Trader University email list: https://www.trader.university/email-list In this video, I discuss the most recent FOMC statement, and its implication for the Fed's taper. It appears that the Fed is determined to reduce purchases of long-term government debt by $10 billion every month, and the US Treasury is secretly cooperating by issuing less debt at the far end of the yield curve The US government still needs to borrow massive amounts of money, which we would expect it to do at the front end of the curve (T-Bills). The Fed can then use its Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF) to prop up the front end of the curve. In this way, the Fed can have its cake and eat it too. Expect stocks, housing prices, and Bitcoin to continue to appreciate sharply, since it is likely that the Fed will need to keep the money printers going for the rest of this decade.

This is not a product endorsement. Rather, I view it as an interesting window into the future of Bitcoin loans. Bitcoin is the ultimate liquid, pristine collateral, and as such will form the foundation of the new financial system. With Abra, you can currently borrow 15% of the value of your Bitcoin (15% LTV loan to value) at a zero percent interest rate. This could allow one to retain exposure to Bitcoin's upside, avoid paying taxes that are due when selling Bitcoin, and also purchase another asset like real estate that has both upside and utility. The main downside here is that you have to trust Abra to hold your private keys. One also needs to be careful about how deep the next drawdown will be for Bitcoin. One would only get a margin call on a 15% LTV loan if Bitcoin went down more than 85% from its price at loan origination. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
