Building Bitcoin Wealth for Everyone – Epi-59
Jul 1501:55:11Tap to summarizeBitcoin recently hit an all time high over 122,000 dollars and now has fallen to about 118,000 as I write this. Long gone are the days of 300, 600, 6,000 or even 25,000 dollar Bitcoin, but you know what hasn’t changed, unit bias bullshit! I heard it so many times over the years, “I wish I would have listened earlier but I missed the opportunity” and I have always responded with “no you didn’t miss it, you are missing it right now” and that too has not changed. Unit bias is where a person says “but I will never even … Continue reading → The post Building Bitcoin Wealth for Everyone – Epi-59 first appeared on The Bitcoin Breakout.
Transcribe →The Great Monetary Divide – Epi-58
Mar 19, 202502:08:53Tap to summarizeThe world is changing fast. The EU and the head of the ECB Christine Lagarde (who I call Euro Karen) have announced that the entire EU will be under a CBDC by fall. China basically already is and they also have a “social credit system” to control the population. Odds are if the EU doesn’t have a social credit score when the Central Bank Digital Euro drops they will soon after. Dark days indeed. Hold the phone though, what is going on in the US? The US government is adopting Bitcoin as an economic reserve, bringing Stable Coins under the … Continue reading → The post The Great Monetary Divide – Epi-58 first appeared on The Bitcoin Breakout.
Transcribe →What Happens When We Simply Call Bitcoin Money – Episode-57
Feb 26, 202501:46:25Tap to summarizeBitcoin arguments get weird fast. Proponents say never spend it, but imagine saying, “Never spend your money.” Others insist you must spend it to help it gain acceptance—would you ever say, “You have to spend YOUR MONEY to make it legitimate?” Meanwhile, critics call it volatile while ignoring that the dollar has lost 99% of its value. The confusion vanishes when you strip away the hype and just call Bitcoin what it is: money. In this episode, I break down the nonsense from both sides, showing how many so-called debates fall apart the moment you apply the same logic to … Continue reading → The post What Happens When We Simply Call Bitcoin Money – Episode-57 first appeared on The Bitcoin Breakout.

Jun 24, 202401:34:51Tap to summarizeTo be clear there is at this point no risk on the long term holding of Bitcoin at this point in history.

Short of nuclear war and a ELE nothing can stop the inevitable. The only Bitcoin risk now is not having any.
