Because Yonatan did not disappear like Satoshi, Yonatan's personality and political likes and dislikes will always loom over the project, and lead to questions about his potential influence over Kaspa's future.I am especially concerned about how this might make Kaspa unsuitable for Palestinians, or Muslims from other countries.Competitors always underestimate the importance of Bitcoin's immaculate conception, its network effects, and its head start. Creating a new money is not just about the tech-- it is also about the social context and neutrality of its founding.Money is a winner take all competition. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be the sole winner. Not investment advice!

Get your Bitcoin University channel membership here:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss how free markets do a much better job of providing goods and services to people than do centrally-planned economies.It's a common mistake today to think that "really important things" (like education, healthcare, defense, food production, etc) should be delegated to the government.If something is really important, then it is too important to be left to the government-- and should be handled by the free market instead.So who will build the roads? That's like asking who will make the pencils, or run the grocery stores, or build the rockets, if the government doesn't do it. The answer is: anyone who wants to, or thinks that they can make a profit by doing so.In the first few decades of the US, most roads were privately financed and constructed. And are modern government roads really that great after all?Take healthcare out of the hands of the government. Take education out of the hands of the government. And most importantly: take money creation out of the hands of government.Stop brainwashing people in school that money is another one of those essential government services (chartalism), or that money needs any sort of government blessing in order to function effectively.It doesn't. Gold and silver emerged as money spontaneously over thousands of years. Gold and silver did not become money because governments blessed them. It's actually the opposite: governments began to issue coins made out of silver and gold, because the free market had already converged on those precious metals.Government schools are responsible for teaching the big lie of chartalism, that money can only come from the government. But don't be surprised when a government warns you how essential its services are. What else would you expect to hear from a self-interested monopoly?Not investment advice!

This has inflationary consequences, but is good news for Bitcoin's fiat price.I also discuss how holding Bitcoin ETFs instead of real BTC puts you at a huge disadvantage when it comes to self-custody and censorship-resistant payments.Not investment advice!

Get your BU channel membership here:https://www.youtube.cm/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss the history of the petrodollar system, and how it was used after the ending of the gold standard to encourage demand for USD and US Treasuries. Saudi Arabia recycled its petrodollars back into US Treasuries, thus helping to keep US interest rates low, even in the face of decades of deficit spending and massive issuance of US government debt.China did something similar, recycling its trade surplus back into US Treasuries, keeping US interest rates low and thereby helping to prop up US consumer demand (via taking on debt) for more Chinese goods.That old world is now ending, with countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China willing to trade directly in yuan, commodities, or manufactured goods, thus bypassing the need for US dollars.As nation-states and their central banks hold fewer US Treasuries, the burden is shifted to the Fed to print money and buy them as the buyer of last resort.The world will never return to a gold or oil standard, but will instead embrace Bitcoin as the new global reserve asset.Not investment advice!

Get your BU channel membership here:https://www.youtube.cm/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I discuss how Bitcoin (BTC) is the next GameStop.Bitcoin is the real way to fight this revolution, by opting out of the broken and corrupt fiat financial system and opting into an asset that you can control, without needing to rely on banks, brokerages, custodians, or regulators. Instead of trading inside of a rigged system, consider just buying BTC, withdrawing it from the exchange into cold storage, and heading to the beach.It's a peaceful life-- but it has the potential to defund corrupt governments and central bankers. And make you rich at the same time.Not investment advice!

Join Bitcoin University Premium:https://www.bitcoinuniversity.comIn this video, I discuss how OTC desks work, as well as how the global arbitrage of Bitcoin's price works. This ensures that OTC desks or exchanges can never run out of BTC to sell.If there is a shortage of BTC for buyers, the price of BTC will adjust upwards to draw in new sellers, just as prices adjust for stocks, bonds, and commodities.
