Bitcoin's Bad Rap - The Scam Connection Exposed
01:13:20
A breakdown of Bitcoin credibility attacks this week, plus a review of some macro-sickness and the no-good, real lousy month for Bitcoin miners.
Inflation be damned, central planners have decided to lower the cost of money. How the banks lowering rates impacts Bitcoin. Plus, the shocking stats of the Bitcoin ETFs, project updates, and more.
Inflation is back—what it means for Bitcoin. Why the media is wrong about who's selling BTC, and I make the case that Bitcoin loans beat selling your sats every time.
Blackrock's CEO has become openly bullish on Bitcoin, why he's taking a victory lap this week. This halving will actually be different, and I'll make the case why. Plus, a new project that could replace Lightning for the plebs.
The four horsemen of the apocalypse are riding roughshod over Bitcoin… and the no-coiners are cheering. I'll break down the FUD, separate facts from fiction, and explain what set all this off.
Gold sends a quiet signal about Bitcoin's next chapter, institutions hint at a shifting world order, and why tariffs might be noise—but something deeper is unfolding beneath the headlines.
Conference hype vs. reality check. Plus, the big banks admit massive KYC/AML failures and then offer worse solutions. Plus, why the Ethereum ETF won't dethrone Bitcoin.
The Trump strategy is backfiring. Tariffs are the decoy. It’s a high-stakes reshuffle of global power, and Bitcoin may be the only asset seeing it clearly.
Bitcoin at $100K has summoned the FUD swarm — from quantum computer panic to 'national security threat' hot takes. I’m calling out the bad logic, breaking down every attack, and arming you with the facts.
Illicit transactions constituted only 0.34% of the total on-chain transaction volume for 2023
The total value received by illicit cryptocurrency addresses dropped to $24.2 billion in 2023
Breakdown of Illicit Activities

Crypto scams and hacking revenue both decreased significantly, with total illicit revenue down 29.2% and 54.3%, respectively.
Stablecoin Usage
Stablecoins accounted for the majority of criminal transactions for the second consecutive year, aligning with the recent increase in stablecoin share of all crypto activity.
It's more than Trump. The three major shifts compelling the White House to halt their attack on the Crypto industry. Plus, the details around the new FIT21 bill that takes power away from the SEC, and why I think an Ethereum ETF might be bad for Bitcoin.
More pro-Bitcoin voices are featured, but are some wolves in sheep's clothing? I'll examine the Pomp Problem and the Bitcoin beachhead spreading from state to state. Why the market bracing for higher inflation for longer, is not great news for Bitcoin in the short term.
🔄 Lightspark’s SDKs, APIs, and developer tools streamline Lightning Network integration, while Lightspark Predict optimizes liquidity requirements and routing in real time.
🔐 Coinbase will use Lightspark’s remote-key signing implementation, allowing Coinbase to benefit from a scalable and reliable node infrastructure without managing Lightning keys.
This seems to be after a team internally looked at standing up Lightning.
Powell pulls the punchbowl and $1.5 trillion in 'paper wealth' vanishes. I'll unpack Wall Street's meltdown, JPOW's 'maybe we'll cut, maybe we won’t' strategy, and how inflation still runs the show.
Then, we take a serious look at the idea of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Could an executive order make it happen overnight?

A seismic shift is unfolding as fiscal dominance takes center stage. I'll explain the forces driving this new economic reality, the history we can learn from, and why Bitcoin stands poised to thrive in the chaos.
Given all the caveats, I believe I answered the question I posed at the outset. That is, the sasa of a letdown by team Trump on his proposed pro-crypto and pro-business legislation can be covered by an extremely positive dollar liquidity environment, an increase of up to $612 billion in the first quarter. Right on schedule, just like almost every other year, it will be time to sell in the late stages of the first quarter and chill on the beach, at the clerb, or on a ski resort in the southern hemisphere and wait for positive fiat liquidity conditions to re-emerge in the third quarter.
Bitcoin faces two major headwinds: memecoin mania draining liquidity and gold’s price run pulling in capital. But tides may be turning. I break down why these trends matter and what’s shifting.

Using a Bitcoin lens, I'll explain why the housing market is propping inflation numbers up and why traditional "experts" can't explain it.
