Satoshi Claus brought gifts of green candles and cheer, As Bitcoiners gathered to wrap up the year. With Elf Economists and Merry Miners in sight, And Freedom Fighters spreading the light, We’ll look back on triumphs, ahead to the new, With insights and wisdom from the Bitcoin crew. Jeff Booth, Larry Lepard, and Preston Pysh too, Alex Gladstein, Peter Rizzo, and many more for you! So join us this season, let’s cele...2024-12-217h 18 $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeBitcoin Melting DownPlease 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.

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 hodling any other crypto will not get you ahead in...2024-12-1809 min $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeBitcoin: Scarce, Useful, ValuableGet 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 brokerage account to hold, unlike stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. If...2024-12-1709 min $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeThe Insane Bitcoin MSTR QQQ Feedback LoopPlease 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 traded companies to add BTC to their balance sheets, as the...2024-12-1611 min $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeThe Quantum Threat To BitcoinPlease 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 legacy addresses to these new addresses.Building consensus for a change like this will...2024-12-1310 min $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeRoger Ver, Tucker, and BitcoinPlease 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 Craig Wright.Bitcoin was never hijacked. Bitcoin cannot be hijacked, because...2024-12-1214 min $Matthew Kratter\'s Bitcoin University on Odysee$ Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University on OdyseeBlackRock, Bitcoin, FUD, and ForksPlease help to support this channel's work:https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/joinIn this video, I answer more questions related to BlackRock and Bitcoin, including attacks on Bitcoin mining, node operator consensus, and exerting control over ASIC manufacturers. 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 BCH).Not investment advice!

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 how they are related.Not investment advice!

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