Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss how River makes it possible to earn BTC yield on a US dollar savings account.This is not a product that lends out your BTC for yield, but rather earns a fiat yield that accrues daily and is used to purchase BTC for your account that is paid monthly.I also discuss the folly of staking your BTC for yield, which you should probably never do (e.g. Celsius, BlockFi, Voyager, etc).Lots of people using BTC yield savings accounts like this would put a perpetual daily bid under Bitcoin.Not investment advice!

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the many differences between XRP and Bitcoin. XRP is the complete antithesis of Bitcoin. XRP is highly centralized, had a 100% premine, and the parent company Ripple is actively collaborating with governments to build CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) that can be used to enslave and control a population. XRP is anti-freedom money.By contrast, Bitcoin is freedom money.Trading or hodling any other crypto will not get you ahead in BTC terms over the long term. That's why I just hodl Bitcoin. XRP will continue to trend to zero against BTC over time.In time, more and more people will begin to understand that XRP is less of a crypto, and more of a social disease. Not investment advice!

Get advanced Bitcoin education here:https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/joinIn this video, I discuss the interplay between Bitcoin's scarcity, its utility, and its valuation.Scarce things are not necessarily valuable, unless they are also useful. Bitcoin is an extremely useful monetary technology that allows anyone to exchange economic value with anyone else in the world, without needing to ask permission or involve a third party. Bitcoin is also useful, in that it doesn't require a bank account or brokerage account to hold, unlike stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. If you hold your own keys, Bitcoin is a bearer asset with zero counter-party risk.Bitcoin's scarcity relative to fiat ensures that it will pump forever, which makes it more valuable today, as more and more people wake up to this fact. I also discuss the concept of "intrinsic value," which doesn't exist for Bitcoin or any other asset. The value of things is not inscribed deep inside of them, nor set by the amount of labor input (pace Marx), but rather by the free market.I also discuss the idea of a "monetary premium," and how this can help us to understand why Bitcoin is a much better form of money than copper, silver, or gold.Not investment advice!

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the feedback loop, where companies like MicroStrategy get added to stock market indices, which enables passive stock index flows to flow into BTC itself. As more companies add BTC to their balance sheets, it pumps BTC, which pumps the stocks of these companies, increasing their weightings in the indices, and thus leading to even more capital flowing into BTC.Expect other large publicly traded companies to add BTC to their balance sheets, as the MSTR playbook spreads.Bitcoin will end up on the balance sheets of households, corporations, pensions, endowments, central banks, and countries everywhere.

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the quantum threat to Bitcoin.A really powerful quantum computer (which probably doesn't exist yet) could use Shor's algorithm (or other quantum algorithms) to reverse-engineer Bitcoin private keys from Bitcoin public keys, thus making it possible to steal someone'e Bitcoin.The solution is the creation of quantum-resistant Bitcoin addresses and then everyone moving their BTC from legacy addresses to these new addresses.Building consensus for a change like this will take time, so it's a good thing that people are already proposing quantum address BIPs (Bitcoin improvement proposals).The only things more vulnerable to a quantum computing attack than Bitcoin are the traditional financial system, banks, military databases and encrypted communications, and everything else in the world (including the whole internet) that relies on public/private key cryptography.I also discuss the reasons why it's important never to reuse Bitcoin addresses, due to both security and privacy concerns.Not investment advice!

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the recent Tucker interview with Roger Ver, early Bitcoin adopter and cheerleader for the failed B-Cash fork.Unfortunately, Tucker's ignorance about Bitcoin and Bitcoin history enables Roger to put forward a history of the blocksize wars that is simply not true. In addition, Roger has a checkered past, reassuring people that their coins were safe on Gox and endorsing scammers like Craig Wright.Bitcoin was never hijacked. Bitcoin cannot be hijacked, because it is a globally distributed protocol that has no leader or "pilot" who can be hijacked. What in fact happened to Roger is just that he fell out of consensus with the wider community.I wish Roger the best, and hope that he doesn't have to spend any more time in jail. But I would never trust a single word from his lying mouth. Not investment advice!

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I answer more questions related to BlackRock and Bitcoin, including attacks on Bitcoin mining, node operator consensus, and exerting control over ASIC manufacturers. I conclude that there is no way for BlackRock to take control of Bitcoin.
