We also discuss why the financialization of Bitcoin — using it as collateral rather than selling it — represents the next major wave of adoption, and how People's Reserve is building the financial tools to make that possible through Bitcoin-powered mortgages and collateralized sound money obligations.Timestamps:0:00 CJ's Bitcoin Journey4:42 CrowdHealth Sponsorship5:55 Mangrove Sponsorship6:43 How Bitcoin Mining Predicts Bitcoin's Future Price10:21 If You Truly Understand Bitcoin, Don't DCA13:53 "The Halving" and Why It's Like Bitcoin's Central Bank17:21 Why Engineered Money is an Advantage Over Gold and Fiat21:43 Bitcoin's Adaptability is its Secret Weapon25:38 You Need to Know Why Bitcoin is Being Monetized31:29 Peoples Reserve Lets You Borrow Against Bitcoin to Pay Your Mortgage35:00 How is Peoples Reserve Funded?41:14 This Is Bitcoin's Next Trigger47:14 Is the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve A Failure Yet?55:05 What Does a Successful Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Look Like?57:12 Closing ThoughtsAbout CJ: CJ Konstantinos is a 10-year Bitcoin veteran who views BTC as the reserve asset of the internet economy and the most pristine form of collateral in the world.
