Thank you.Many thanks to all the new subscribers who have joined this week, both paid and unpaid. I put this video of my recent North Sea Oil piece up on YouTube, X et al and it generated something of a flurry.So welcome. I hope you both enjoy and benefit from The Flying Frisby.Before we get started I just wanted to note that Comstock Lode seems to be catching a nice tail wind, which is good. Enjoy the ride. The AGM is later today for the keener of you out there.But we are looking at bitcoin today, and exploring an alternative way to invest in it.I'm going through one of those phases where I feel like I don't own enough bitcoin.So I've bought more.And I've bought it in my SIPP - UK-speak for my retirement account.I'll explain how in a second.Let's just have a quick look at the bitcoin price, and note that we are once again breaking out to new highs.I know it feels like you are late to the bitcoin story, and yes we all wish we bought it at $10, when we first heard about it. But we didn't. We are where we are, and this story is a long way from being over.The next chapter in the odyssey is corporate adoption, and that story is just getting started.I explained the bitcoin corporate treasury model a fortnight ago here, and I've made the article freely available to all, so please take a look, but the TLDR is this.Following a template set by billionaire genius Michael Saylor, more and more companies are converting their treasuries to bitcoin as a means to store value and escape currency debasement. Not only that, they are issuing paper—stock, debt, convertible notes—and using the capital raised to buy more bitcoin. In effect, they are creating fiat money from nothing—it is a debt-based system, after all—and using it to buy a finite digital resource (one that, of course, cannot be created through debt).Many are scratching their heads and saying, “How can this be? It's not possible! It's a bubble.”What Saylor is actually doing, among other things, is exposing the flaws of debt-based fiat currency. There are now some 70 companies employing this strategy. This will eventually be a stampede, which I urge you to front-run. Corporations have much deeper pockets than private investors, meaning this latest cycle in bitcoin's mass adoption could become a mega mania.Shareholders welcome dilution if it means more bitcoin. The problem of corporate dilution has been flipped on its head. Once, if a company issued 20% more stock, you would expect the stock to fall by a concomitant amount to reflect the dilution. But if you're using paper to buy bitcoin, the reverse applies. You can't dilute enough. The purpose of a bitcoin treasury company is to acquire as much bitcoin as possible on behalf of all shareholders, by whatever means.Here is a case in point.Japanese hotel company Metaplanet (3350:TYO) had a small chain of low-budget hotels across Southeast Asia. Covid decimated the business, and it never fully recovered.A year ago, seeking a new direction, CEO Simon Gerovich began copying the Saylor model and started using his cash flow to buy bitcoin, then he began issuing debt. Since spring 2024, when the company began its strategy, the stock has risen thousands of percent from below ¥20 to north of ¥1,000. Last year, it was one of the best-performing companies in the world, if not the best. How about this for a chart?In the time that bitcoin has risen 60%, Metaplanet has risen more than 7,000%. (Saylor's Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) has also outperformed bitcoin. Bitcoin treasury companies give you gearing).With its crap currency and suppressed bond yields, bitcoin is an obvious place for Japanese investors to put their capital, except the government has got in the way.As with the UK, dumb regulations make it very hard for Japanese investors to buy bitcoin directly. (This came as a result of Mt. Gox, the first bitcoin exchange, which went bust after being hacked in 2013-14). To give you an idea how ponderous things are, to register with a bitcoin exchange in Japan , regulators demand you get a letter by snail mail to verify your address. Nuts.What's more, when the Japanese sell, they must pay capital gains tax at 55%.But Metaplanet is a Tokyo-listed company, so investors are buying that instead in their retirement accounts and via their brokers. Far less hassle. Just as, back in 2023, I urged UK readers to buy Strategy as a way to play bitcoin (we are up around 1,000%), Metaplanet has become Japan's bitcoin vehicle—indeed, much of Asia's.For several days in a row, the company has gone limit-up, and trading has been halted. The mother of all short squeezes seems to be taking place. It's the most shorted stock in all of Japan - and the short sellers are struggling to cover.This bubble has, quite literally, been caused by state regulation. We wouldn't be in this situation if it was easy to buy bitcoin. It's enough to make you a libertarian. It's amazing that both Japan and the UK were at the vanguard in bitcoin's early days. Satoshi Nakamoto had a Japanese name and used British English. Now we are both retarded (in both the old sense of the word and the new).How to profit from the maniaIn the UK, Avis-listed The Smarter Web Company (ISIN: GB00BPJHZ015) is now following suit, as several readers have pointed out to me (thank you). It's gone from 5p to 45p in a month. Currently, The Smarter Web Company has a market cap of £72 million, while it holds only £3 million in bitcoin (rounded numbers). Insane, you might think. Probably.Bitcoin Treasury Companies are outperforming bitcoin. They are the new sh*tcoins. So which bitcoin treasury company have I gone for?Here is how I am playing all this.

In this unforgettable episode of Beyond the Code, Yitzy Hammer sits down with Bitcoin OG and serial entrepreneur Charlie Shrem for a raw, unfiltered journey through the birth of Bitcoin, the collapse of early crypto infrastructure, and the deeply personal trials that shaped one of the industry's most iconic—and controversial—figures.Charlie opens up about how a small Israeli charity called Tikvot led him to Bitcoin, the early anarchic energy of the online forums where Satoshi once roamed, and how he helped pioneer one of the world's first Bitcoin exchanges, BitInstant, with nothing but bar mitzvah money and a handshake agreement.They talk Mt. Gox, the founding of the Bitcoin Foundation, and how a single Skype message from Roger Ver changed the course of Charlie's life. But this episode doesn't shy away from the dark turns: Charlie reflects on the moment federal agents arrested him at JFK, his experience in solitary confinement, the fallout with his family and community, and the harrowing prison conditions that tested his spirit.We also explore the redemption arc: house arrest in Pennsylvania, quiet reintegration into the crypto world, life on a boat, podcasting, venture investing—and a spiritual journey that defies binaries.Topics Covered:How PayPal freezing donations led to discovering Bitcoin;The mechanics of BitInstant and why it succeeded;Mt. Gox, Silk Road, and the cracks in early crypto;Charlie's arrest, conviction, and incarceration experience;Leaving Orthodoxy, family estrangement, and Jewish identity;Starting over, rebuilding wealth, and finding purpose;This is more than a conversation about Bitcoin—it's a story about resilience, belief, exile, and finding your people on the internet.

Pete Rizzo Thinks We're Losing Bitcoin's History. I'm Helping Him Fix That.Pete Rizzo's been called Bitcoin's historian — and after this conversation, you'll understand why.He's spent the past few years diving deep into the stories, people, and drama that built Bitcoin from nothing into a global force. We talk about that work — the threads, the archives, the stories that never made it into the headlines — and how much of our history is already at risk of being forgotten.This one goes deep: early Mt. Gox days, the Silk Road fallout, Ross Ulbricht, Julian Assange, the Dragon's Den Slack channel, Bitcoin IRC logs, and even a theory that maybe Satoshi was Julian himself. There's a lot here — from serious analysis to our own untold stories.We also get personal: Rizzo opens up about why preserving this history became his mission, and I share how prison, books, and a Muslim roommate changed how I see the world — and Bitcoin.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Pete Rizzo's “Bitcoin Legends” Twitter threadsThe Genesis Book by Jonathan BierThe Satoshi Affair by Andrew O'HaganAssange's RubberHose encryption protocolBlockworks' Supply Shock PodcastFollow Pete:Twitter/X: @pete_rizzo_Podcast: Supply ShockQuotes:"Bitcoin is the only asset where history actually matters — and yet we're letting it disappear." "We treated Ross like a pariah. Now he's a symbol. That didn't happen overnight.""People think Bitcoin started with Satoshi. It didn't. It started with the people who kept it alive after Satoshi left.""When I left prison, I was at zero — actually, below zero. But I came out with the most valuable thing: stories."

Tigran Gambaryan⁠ spent 8 months in grueling conditions in a Nigerian prison. But that's not what made him famous.Episode 52 of Beyond the Code dives into Tigran's incredible journey. For those of you who don't know, Tigran started off as an IRS special agent, where he used a simple Excel spreadsheet to reverse engineer the Bitcoin blockchain and track major crypto criminals such as those responsible for the Mt. Gox hack, Welcome to Video, Alpha Bay and Silk Road —earning him the nickname, “the man who broke Bitcoin”. After a decade in Government law enforcement, Tigran took up a pivotal role at Binance leading their financial crimes unit and fostering global regulatory ties. Tigran's story is one of innovation and grit, as chronicled in Andy Greenberg's Tracers in the Dark. But things took a turn for the worse for Tigran when he made a trip to Nigeria last February and what was supposed to be a simple training session spiraled into detention, interrogation, and bribes and imprisonment, exposing systemic corruption. After 8 grueling months in Nigeria's Kuje prison, through media pressure and U.S. diplomatic efforts, Tigran's release was finally secured and thankfully he is now home with his family. Links to videos and articles:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Caa4X7GqTkQ https://www.wired.com/story/tigran-gambaryan-us-congress-resolution-hostage-nigeria/https://fmino.gov.ng/disregard-falsehoods-being-peddled-by-tigran-gambaryan-against-nigerian-government-officials-fg/https://www.wired.com/story/tigran-gambaryan-us-congress-resolution-hostage-nigeria/https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/02/14/nigeria-used-binance-as-scapegoat-wanted-150-million-bribe-tigran-gambaryan/ https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1832182160918503643 For those interested, you can buy Andy Greenberg's book, Tracers in the Dark, on Amazon: https://a.co/d/3umNV17If you want to do it right (chronologically), start with Nick Bilton's book, American Kingpin (https://a.co/d/hTRVY2C), which tells the story of Ross Ulbricht and the Silk Road. These books are imperative to understanding how the space migrated from basically a hub for libertarians, Cypher punks and criminals, into what it is today.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tigran-gambaryan-0852679a/ X: https://x.com/TigranGambaryan

Did you know you can specialize when you work in primary care? As a surgical PA, I've worked in various surgical subspecialities, but the concept of primary care subspecialities was brand new to me. My guest today, Alex Childs, shares his story of specializing in pharmacogenetics as a primary care PA.  Alex is a PA with a Doctor of Medical Science degree working in family medicine in Utah. Alex's doctorate research focused on implementing genetic testing in primary care. In practice, he has done this with hereditary cancer risk testing and pharmacogenetic testing. In today's episode, Alex shares what he loves about working in primary care and gives actionable tips on how to thrive as a primary care provider. Alex also explained what the heck pharmacogenetics is and how he uses it to provide high quality care and early interventions with his patients. He also describes how he began working as an medical science liaison (MSL) in industry while still working as a family medicine PA. I think my favorite part of our discussion was talking about how every medical provider can get their joy back when it comes to practicing medicine.

Tether公司作为USDT美元稳定币的发行商，已成为全球金融体系中不可忽视的力量。2024年，Tether实现净利润137亿美元，超过贝莱德、阿里巴巴等金融和科技巨头，以仅150名员工创造了惊人的人均9300万美元利润。 因为能与美元实现一比一的兑换，USDT在许多隐秘的金融交易中扮演着关键角色：从杀猪盘、毒品交易到恐怖组织融资，从俄罗斯军火商到委内瑞拉国有石油公司，USDT被广泛应用于法律制裁无法触及的灰色地带。然而，对于通货膨胀率高达200%的委内瑞拉普通民众来说，USDT又成为保存财富、接收汇款的重要工具。 Tether的崛起之路同样充满争议：创始团队身份复杂、银行关系模糊，到资产储备真实性被质疑，再到被指控操纵比特币市场，Tether曾多次面临生存危机。自从进入加息周期之后，通过将用户存入的资金投资于美国国债和企业债券，Tether在零成本资金与国债收益之间实现了巨大的套利空间，甚至成为了排名前二十的美国国债持有人。 在剧烈波动的加密货币市场，胆大者往往能获得惊人的回报；而当一个体系足够庞大，它就能从“被监管”变为与监管者“互相制衡”。本期节目将起底这个亦正亦邪，一路从争议中成长起来的稳定币公司Tether。 【主播】 泓君Jane，硅谷101创始人，播客主理人 【嘉宾】 杨民道，dForce创始人 刘锋，BODL Ventures 合伙人，前链闻总编辑 【你将听到】 印钞暴富 03:39 “印钞机”模式：零成本资金换取高收益美债 07:25 发行量暴增：牛市需求与美债高收益的双重作用 09:56 反直觉市场转向：USDT的发行量在以太坊超过波场 12:34 备受争议但难以动摇：流动性的网络效应+先发垄断优势 政商关系 16:39 Cantor的911悲剧与卢特尼克崛起 20:00 华尔街背书：Cantor成为国债购买与托管核心 22:57 山洞里的秘密：卢特尼克之子曾清点Tether黄金储备 争议中成长 25:00 非主流团队颠覆精英叙事：整形医生、贸易商创立的全球最赚钱公司 30:43 核心成员：技术极客与高举高打 34:17 比特币操纵疑云：凭空发行USDT去买币 36:36 “94禁令”意外催生出全球最大的稳定币 38:17 银行断供风波：Noble银行暴雷，USDT脱锚大跌 41:38 套利大师：做市商如何在Tether危机中赚翻 壁垒与挑战 44:57 加密货币核心价值在“非许可”而非“去中心化” 48:38 司法部也难以撼动：持有大量美债形成互锁 52:48 从商票到国债：透明度提升但争议未消 57:05 金融新秩序：点对点结算如何挑战Visa和Mastercard 01:00:18 降息之后：美债收益下滑，被迫寻找新增长点 格局推演 01:03:41 传统金融机构布局稳定币，探索许可链 01:05:21 贴牌工厂：Paxos成为“稳定币富士康” 01:07:56 稳定币只是区块链金融的起点 01:10:41 螺旋式进化：丑闻和崩溃让币圈"走三步退两步" 01:12:22 AI大撒钱：12亿美元投资Northern Data，转型算力巨头 01:20:01 7.75亿入股Rumble，连接加密货币与右翼社区 彩蛋 01:24:58 特朗普的加密货币野心：虹吸全球流动性，再造链上纳斯达克 【文中提到相关信息】 文中提及的Tether公司的核心高管： 1. 詹卡洛·德瓦西尼（Giancarlo Devasini）：Tether联合创始人之一，前整形外科医生，意大利都灵人，现任公司首席财务官（CFO）。他还参与了加密货币交易所Bitfinex的开发。 2. 帕奥罗·阿尔杜伊诺（Paolo Ardoino）：自2017年起担任Tether的CTO，并在2023年12月被提升为首席执行官（CEO），同时继续担任CTO。Paolo Ardoino还在Bitfinex担任首席技术官，并且是Holepunch的首席战略官。 3. 克里斯托弗·哈伯恩（Christopher Harborne）：又名查克里·萨昆克里特（Chakrit Sakunkrit），英国和泰国双重国籍商人，他通过关联公司与其他三位共同控制Tether超过80%的股权。 其他相关人物： 卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）：美国商人，曾任 Cantor Fitzgerald 和 BGC 集团的首席执行官，并在本届特朗普政府中被提名商务部长。 Brock Pierce（布洛克·皮尔斯）：美国童星。2014年，他与Reeve Collins（前首席执行官）和Craig Sellars（前首席技术官）共同创立了Tether的前身RealCoin，并推动其成为首个与美元锚定的稳定币项目。皮尔斯是波多黎各Noble银行的实控人，该银行曾是Tether和Bitfinex的主要资金托管机构。RealCoin在2014年底更名为Tether后，其所有权被转让给加密货币交易所Bitfinex的母公司iFinex。 Steve Bannon（史蒂夫·班农） ：美国极右翼政治人物、前白宫首席战略师，同时也是特朗普政府早期的核心幕僚。他以推动民族主义、反全球化政策及“美国优先”理念闻名。 加密货币相关术语： USDC：由Circle和Coinbase联合发行的美元抵押稳定币，以合规审计和透明度著称。 94禁令：2017年9月4日，中国人民银行等七部门联合发布《关于防范代币发行融资风险的公告》，正式定性ICO（Initial Coin Offering，即首次代币发行）本质上是未经批准非法公开融资行为，要求立即停止所有代币发行融资活动。 Ether（以太坊）：以太坊是一个开源区块链平台，它的原生加密货币叫做Ether（ETH），用于支付智能合约执行和交易手续费。 Circle：USDC发行方，金融科技公司，由杰里米·阿莱尔（Jeremy Allaire）领导。 Cantor Fitzgerald ：是一家美国知名的投资银行和金融服务公司，美国国债市场的主要经纪商之一。 索拉纳（Solana）：一个高性能的区块链平台，以其快速、低成本的交易而闻名。USDC在Solana上作为原生代币发行，支持快速的交易和低费用。 Bitfinex：加密货币交易所，与Tether同属iFinex旗下，因资金混用问题备受争议。 iFinex：是Bitfinex注册于香港的母公司，负责运营Bitfinex交易所。 门头沟Mt.Gox：Mt.Gox曾是最大的比特币交易所之一，但在2014年因安全漏洞和管理不善而倒闭，导致大量用户资金损失。 FTX：一家曾经是全球领先的加密货币交易所，创始人是Sam Bankman-Fried，在2022年11月因财务危机和管理不善宣布破产，导致大量用户的资金损失，成为加密货币历史上最严重的交易所崩盘事件之一。 Coinbase：美国合规加密货币交易所及上市公司，支持多种资产交易与托管服务。 Northern Data：德国区块链基础设施公司，主营比特币挖矿与AI数据中心业务。 Rumble：一个去中心化的社交媒体平台，强调言论自由，成为部分区块链项目的推广平台。 本节目不构成任何投资建议，投资有风险，入市需谨慎。 【监制】 杜秀 【后期】 AMEI 【BGM】 The Deal - Ruiqi Zhao Horse Power Brass - Bonkers Beat Club The Big Truth - August Wilhelmsson 【在这里找到我们】 收听渠道：Apple Podcast｜Spotify｜YouTube｜小宇宙 联系我们：podcast@sv101.net

The life of Michael Parenti is truly extraordinary, as he witnessed two significant cultural movements that changed the word. Growing up in Malibu, he went to school with the likes of Sean Penn and Charlie Sheen, met a young Madonna before she was an international star, hung out in Bob Dylan's house, and saw live acts like Nirvana and Red Hot Chilli Peppers long before MTV made them famous. As an internet entrepreneur, he became involved with the Bitcoin Foundation and also saw the early days of Ethereum. He attended hundreds of events, spoke with some of the people who are completely unapproachable today, and found himself in the middle of something magical, naive, and revolutionary. In this episode, we talk about the backstage politics that Michael Parenti witnessed and what it was like to believe in the cyhpherpunk dream more than a decade ago.

Mt. Gox è stata la prima exchange di Bitcoin al mondo. Fondata nel 2010, quando Bitcoin era poco più che un giochino per appassionati di crittografia, e fallita nel 2014 dopo aver letteralmente perso tutti i Bitcoin che custodiva per i suoi utenti, in quello che ancora oggi è il più grande scandalo del mondo delle criptovalute. Prima del suo fallimento infatti, Mt. Gox era il centro di tutto l'ecosistema Bitcoin. Se volevi comprare dei Bitcoin negli anni tra il 2010 e il 2012, Mt. Gox era praticamente l'unico posto dove andare. E anche nel 2013, quando avevano già cominciato ad emergere piattaforme come Coinbase o Bitfinex, il 70% di tutte le compravendite di Bitcoin passava ancora da Mt. Gox. Mt. Gox e Bitcoin erano praticamente sinonimi. Inevitabilmente quindi, questo podcast è tanto la storia di Mt. Gox quanto è la storia dei primi anni di vita di Bitcoin; la storia di come una tecnologia nata per essere una forma di contante digitale – una cosa che si usa per comprare cose – si è trasformata in una forma di investimento – una cosa che si compra sperando di diventare ricchi. La storia di Mt. Gox e del suo fallimento è una storia vecchia, vecchissima se consideriamo quanto è cambiato il mondo delle crypto dal 2014 a oggi. Ma è una storia che mette in luce i problemi strutturali di Bitcoin. Gli stessi problemi che stanno alla base di tutti gli scandali venuti dopo.

Trump's election win has supercharged the crypto market, with altcoins like Dogecoin and Cardano surging, and Bitcoin hitting new highs over $82,000. The crypto community is optimistic about a pro-crypto regulatory environment as Trump plans to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler and possibly introduce crypto ETFs for more assets. Potential new SEC leaders, like "Crypto Mom" Hester Peirce and "Crypto Dad" Chris Giancarlo, bring even more excitement. Charles Hoskinson of Cardano is also opening a DC office to advocate for crypto-friendly policies. Meanwhile, the FTX estate's lawsuits and Mt. Gox's BTC movements continue to shape the landscape, hinting at big shifts and potential market impacts ahead.RESOURCEShttps://protos.com/whos-in-line-to-replace-gary-gensler-at-the-sec/https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/charles-hoskinson-pledges-crypto-friendly-policy-in-the-us/https://www.theblock.co/post/325376/alameda-research-sues-waves-founder-to-claw-back-90-million?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rsshttps://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/11/11/mt-gox-shuffles-24b-bitcoin-between-wallets-as-btc-hovers-near-82k-arkham/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=rss&utm_campaign=headlineshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-11/dogecoin-doge-tops-bitcoin-btc-as-trump-spurs-crypto-speculation?embedded-checkout=truehttps://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/11/10/solana-joins-100b-club-hitting-nearly-a-three-year-high-above-210/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=rss&utm_campaign=headlinesSecure your Business & Digital Life with Cyber Strategy Institutehttps://cyberstrategyinstitute.com/warden/ https://csi-store.samcart.com/products/wardenguard-personal-1device-annual/?coupon=DCN_Wardenhttps://csi-store.samcart.com/products/wardenvault-personal-managed-1device-annual?coupon=DCN_Warden——————————————————————***NOT FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR TAX ADVICE!

Hey hey! Welcome to Rare Sats and Virgin Coins: Bitcoin Happy Hour with George Burke and Deedle of PortalLast week, we had an engaging and insightful discussion with some of the OGs in the crypto space. Here's a rundown of what we covered:Introduction and Special GuestWe kicked off the episode with a bit of banter about "proof of ice" and "proof of happy hour," setting a light-hearted tone. I was excited to announce that a very special friend and my ex-co-founder would be joining us. Although he was a bit elusive at first, we eventually got him on board.Market Cap's State of Crypto ReportWe delved into Market Cap's first half of the year state of crypto report. The report highlighted various trends, including memecoin communities, Bitcoin L2s, and Rune-related projects. It also featured a hypothetical section on market cycles, which sparked an interesting discussion about the future of crypto markets.ECC Conference and Trump AnnouncementWe touched on the ECC conference moving from Paris to Brussels and then to another location due to safety concerns. Additionally, we discussed Trump's announcement about speaking at Bitcoin Nashville and the introduction of the "Trump pass," which led to a broader conversation about the intersection of politics and Bitcoin.Ross Ulbricht and Criminal JusticeThe conversation took a serious turn as we discussed Ross Ulbricht's case and the broader issues of criminal justice reform. We debated the fairness of his sentence and the potential for a presidential pardon.Bitcoin as a Sovereign ToolWe explored how Bitcoin serves as a sovereign tool, enabling individuals to question existing financial systems and media narratives. This led to a discussion on the psychological impact of Bitcoin's price fluctuations and strategies to mitigate emotional responses.Cold Storage and SecurityWe shared various strategies for securing Bitcoin, including using cold storage and multisig wallets. One interesting anecdote involved a friend who keeps his BTC in a safety deposit box in a flyover state, making it difficult to access and thus less likely to be impulsively sold.Bitcoin Debit and Credit CardsWe reminisced about the early days of Bitcoin debit cards and the challenges we faced. My co-founder and I had worked on FreshPay, one of the first Bitcoin debit cards in the U.S., and we discussed the evolution of this concept over the years.Guest IntroductionsWe had several guests join us, including Deedle from Portal, Vic from CakeWallet, and Petty from Runes Terminal. Each shared their background and current projects, adding depth to our discussion.Bitcoin Scaling and InnovationWe discussed the future of Bitcoin scaling, including the potential of runes and other innovations. Petty provided insights into the current state of the market and the challenges of user adoption.Silent Payments and PrivacyVic introduced us to the concept of silent payments, a new privacy feature in CakeWallet. This led to a broader discussion on privacy in Bitcoin transactions and potential future developments.Mt. Gox Creditors and Market ImpactWe talked about the long-awaited repayment to Mt. Gox creditors and its potential impact on the market. Opinions varied on whether this would create significant selling pressure.Nation States and Bitcoin AccumulationWe speculated on whether nation states are quietly accumulating Bitcoin and the strategic implications of such actions. This included a discussion on the role of government seizures and stealthy market purchases.Taxation and Selling BitcoinFinally, we touched on the complexities of taxation for long-term Bitcoin holders and strategies to minimize tax liabilities, including moving to Puerto Rico under tax act 60.Thank you for tuning in! We hope you enjoyed this episode and gained some valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of Bitcoin and crypto!Charlie

Ten and a half years after filing for bankruptcy, Mt. Gox is finally set to disburse 142,000 Bitcoin worth nearly $9 billion to creditors between July and October.  Market concern has been growing over the potential impact on Bitcoin prices, but Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, explains why only a small fraction of those bitcoins will be sold.
