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.

In this video, I discuss how to find the strongest momentum stocks to buy on a market pull-back. When the S&P 500 dips, it becomes easier to see which stocks have good relative strength. These are usually stocks that are being accumulated by institutional investors, who must slowly ease into a stock because they are investing such large amounts of money. When the S&P 500 begins to recover, these stocks that have had good relative strength are often the first to break out to new highs. This makes them excellent candidates for day trading or swing trading. Not investment advice! Consult a financial adviser.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com In this video, I discuss why Bitcoin has made the conscious design choice to be inefficient in the interests of remaining neutral and decentralized. If you want a really efficient monetary system, just use PayPal or Venmo. Centralized services are almost always more efficient, cheaper, and faster than Bitcoin. But Bitcoin offers neutrality, censorship-resistance, and the ability to shield your savings from central bank devaluation. Under proof of stake (like Ethereum), if an attacker can gain control of more than 50% of the coins, it's over. If he keeps staking all of his coins, he will eventually control the entire system, as he earns more and more rewards with every block that he wins. At this point, the system is permanently broken and there is no fix. By contrast, under proof of work, you can always build more mining rigs to fight off an attacker. So if (blockchain + PoW) is so great, can you create a new crypto by recreating Bitcoin by pairing blockchain with PoW today? You can try, but it's too late. The cat is already out of the bag. You will never catch up to Bitcoin, which has a 14-year head start. Also, it's impossible to recreate Bitcoin's immaculate conception in this day of global surveillance. If Satoshi had launched Bitcoin today, all of the 3 letter agencies would know who he is. Satoshi was also a very rare and special type of person, who was humble enough to walk away from riches and glory. By contrast, all of the crypto billionaires are still public figures involved in their projects and have been actively dumping on their followers. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

Get my new Bitcoin book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RX8Q4ZQ In this video, I discuss Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs above $63,000, as well as why I believe that this party is just getting started. There are still huge inflows coming into Bitcoin, and these will only increase as a US Bitcoin ETF is finally approved, and corporations continue to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. There is a very good chance that we have just entered the Bitcoin super-cycle, where institutional buyers buy every dip and chase Bitcoin much higher. Not investment advice!
