Isaiah Jackson - Bitcoin and Black America

Isaiah Jackson unites two seemingly unrelated topics in his book titled Bitcoin and Black America. The book is an excellent resource for learning about Bitcoin, but also about the plethora of economic injustices felt by the community of black american people. It is not immediately clear how Bitcoin, the dominant internet money can help with solving these problems. Fortunately, Isaiah Jackson is a master of breaking down the technical aspects of Bitcoin, and connecting them with articulate solution statements.

Dan Clarke - How to Live Without a Bank Account

Have you ever wondered whether or not you can live without a bank account? It turns out you can. A number of people have already accomplished this. Perhaps the most notable person to do so is Andreas Antonopoulos, stating on the Joe Rogan Podcast that he has lived on bitcoin for more than a year, and this was in 2014. Now, in 2020, living without a bank account, or “Going Full Crypto” as we call it, is much easier.

Turning Cash Reserves Into Bitcoin

It was quite the day when I woke up to find that a publicly traded company called MicroStrategy had turned $425 million dollars of cash reserves into bitcoin. To be honest, this came out of left field. I had a feeling this would happen someday, I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Just eleven years after the launch of Bitcoin, and companies are already buying it as a wealth preservation strategy. BUT WHY!?

Bitcoin, The Land Amongst the Sinking Titanic

This thing (Bitcoin) that emerged out of nowhere in 2009, invented by someone(s) who has no identity, is Bitcoin. We're now at a point where it has become worth several hundred billions of dollars. It's not like in 2017 when this price was fragile, Bitcoin has never been stronger. How ridiculous is it that the world is turning to this esoteric form of money in favour of their government sponsored money? The answer, in my estimation, is quite ridiculous. Yet, here we are.

Keeping Your Keys Safe

This is an important topic because if you fail to follow the rules of key safety, you can lose all of your funds with zero chance of recovery. This is an aspect of cryptocurrencies that actually turns a lot of people off.

It is not Too Late to Buy Bitcoin

What we encourage people to do, is to recognize that we are in the early stages of the digital revolution. The entire planet is undergoing rapid changes to digitally connect each and every human being. The foundations of the internet were laid in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and it wasn’t until the 1990’s that the internet was commercialized. Asking whether or not it is too late to invest in bitcoin, is like asking whether or not it is too late to invest in the internet in 1990.

Answers from Money, Bitcoin, and Time

At the same time that money contains these useful properties, it starts to feel strange when we consider that money is paradoxically valueless. Both bitcoin and paper bills are without value in the absence of people to believe it has value. In that sense, money is a belief system first.

The Coming Currency Wars

Currencies compete. They compete for attention, they compete to be held, and they compete to be spent. The more a money is held, and spent, the more dominant it is. Have you ever wondered why you think of the value of something in dollars, yuan, or rupee? It is the money you think and communicate in. Entire wars have been fought over money, and what we decide to call money.
