Beyond Bitcoin – WEB3 Offers More For The Average Joe
A Savings Mechanism Years ago, I published an article addressing Bitcoin’s superiority as a savings protocol. This remains relevant today, even more so. ETFs and a strategic Bitcoin reserve place Bitcoin in high demand, especially when supplemented by institutional and retail demand. However, I still maintain a favorable view of WEB3 and its many expressions…

Will The ETF Effect & A Trump Presidency Adjust Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle?
Significant Developments Despite external factors, Bitcoin has remained within the confines of its 4-year cycle ever since the first halving event. I remember writing an article in 2020 addressing Bitcoin’s future cyclical behavior. It’s important to note that even though the bear market of 2022 was incredibly harsh regarding the events surrounding the collapse of…

The Only Argument For Maximalism Is Perfection
The Debate Rages On In many ways, Bitcoin has proven itself as a store of value, especially when compared with gold. This is, however, over a medium to long-term investment period. Nobody has ever lost money holding Bitcoin over 5 years. The same however cannot be said of gold. In fact, up until very recently,…

Cryptocurrency – Delayed Realization & The Stage Of Confusion
I Thought Bitcoin Was A Hedge Against Inflation? This has been brought up numerous times throughout the mainstream media, as well as the Crypto media.

How To Harness The Price Performance Of Crypto With Reduced Risk
Short-Term Gains One of the most attractive aspects of Crypto is the investment time frame. Investors generally realize significant gains in little to no time, especially when compared to traditional investment vehicles.

Understanding The Bitcoin Store Of Value Argument
Everyone Lapped Up The “Bitcoin Is Digital Gold” Narrative Looking back to when this narrative was born, I immediately disagreed but perhaps not in a way that many would expect. Regular readers will remember my post, “Bitcoin Is Not Gold 2.0 – So What Is It?” in which I went on to break down my…

Impure Bitcoin – Is This Going To Become An Issue?
Transactional History Unlike fiat currency, a public ledger reveals the history of Bitcoin transactions. This is both a blessing and a curse, which can be used either positively or negatively. There has been some talk over the years that perhaps Bitcoin might succumb to a grading system, similar to gold, which is graded according to…

Gold Is Failing As A Store Of Value
Bitcoin Is Not Gold 2.0 – So What Is It? It is more than a year ago since I posted “Bitcoin Is Not Gold 2.0 – So What Is It?”. I think many who read it did not really agree with my thesis. However, it is now proving to be an accurate prediction. In hindsight,…
