    Great interview, Troy is fantastic and has done amazing work. Note for the host: You need to stop pushing the narrative that progressives are anti bitcoin; just because the politicians that call themselves progressive might be foolishly against it doesn’t mean the people considering themselves as such are. Fidelity is the most progressive finance company on earth and the CEO was mining bitcoin in 2014 in her office. We’ll never depoliticize bitcoin if you keep repeating divisive ideas like this

    Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!

    Why would you suggest ETF is like and exchange. It is ot something you can selfcustody. So the balances going up or down are about buying and selling. That is fundamentally different to exchanges where buying and selling happens there and coins going off th exchange are possible. Not the same thing or metric at all

    • @LarsLarsen77
      @LarsLarsen77 7 днів тому

      An ETF is a private sidechain like an exchange is. The exchange doesn't own your bitcoin, it's got a fiduciary duty to hold it for you. Same with an ETF. You can't see what the allocation to each person is, because it's a private sidechain.

    The Pi Cycle Top indicator, which has accurately predicted all Bitcoin cycle tops within three days of signaling, triggered in April 2021, prematurely ending the cycle due to COVID stimulus and excessive money printing that flooded too much capital into the asset too quickly, spooking investors. While some see diminishing returns, the reality is that with Bitcoin’s fixed supply, growing adoption, and endless fiat expansion, exponential growth will continue inevitably.
