Bitcoin Melting Down

2024/12/20

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss Bitcoin's recent price meltdown, and the importance of keeping perspective: Bitcoin is still up over 130% for the year, and nothing has changed with its fundamentals.Bitcoin is always volatile, but you can expect increased volatility with the new Trump administration cutting government spending when debt/GDP is still so high.Either way, Bitcoin has no top, because fiat has no bottom

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

Is XRP Better Than Bitcoin?

2024/12/18

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

Bitcoin: Scarce, Useful, Valuable

2024/12/17

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

The Insane Bitcoin MSTR QQQ Feedback Loop

Matthew Kratter"s Bitcoin University on Odysee ·

2024/12/16

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

The Quantum Threat To Bitcoin

2024/12/13

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

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

I conclude that there is no way for BlackRock to take control of Bitcoin. I finish the video discussing easy ways to profit from a Bitcoin hard fork, whether done by BlackRock or another hostile actor (like Roger Ver did with

BlackRock Taking Over Bitcoin?

Matthew Kratter"s Bitcoin University on Odysee ·

2024/12/10

Get advanced Bitcoin education here:https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/joinIn this video, I discuss BlackRock's supposed plans to take over Bitcoin, by buying up Bitcoin mining companies, buying up lots of BTC, wielding influence over Bitcoin devs, and possibly even attempting to change the 21 million max supply cap. Fortunately, because Bitcoin runs on a proof of work consensus mechanism, owning more BTC does not give anyone more power over the protocol-- not even BlackRock.Not investment advice

BIP-39 wallets did not even exist in Satoshi's active years.I conclude by discussing HD wallets, recovery seeds, xpubs, Bitcoin addresses, and

MicroStrategy Leveraged ETFs (Danger)

Please help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the daily compounding effects that make it risky to hold leveraged ETFs for any longer period of time than intraday trading. There is also the risk that the ETF might not be able to get enough exposure for the next day, if MSTR experiences a volatile market close. In conclusion, leveraged ETFs are best used solely as intraday trading vehicles. If you hold them overnight or for multiple

If BTC and MSTR rally a lot, this debt gets converted to equity, so I include this scenario as well, where shares outstanding increases. I also include a link to a spreadsheet that allows
