Na een week vol bewegingen staat Bitcoin nog steeds boven de 100.000 dollar. Andere munten doen het zelfs beter, maar afgelopen maandag leden speculanten in één klap 1,5 miljard dollar verlies. De grootste verliezen werden vooral geleden bij Altcoins, die tot wel 25% daalden in enkele uren tijd. Donald Trump ziet Bitcoin als een belangrijke meetlat voor zijn toekomstige presidentschap. Bronnen dicht bij de nieuwe president wijzen op een koersdoel van 150.000 dollar per Bitcoin. Als onderdeel van deze strategie is David Sacks benoemd tot 'Crypto Tsar', een tech-investeerder uit de PayPal-Maffia die bekend staat om zijn voorkeur voor minimale regelgeving. Microstrategy, het bedrijf van Michael Saylor, maakt opnieuw furore. Bloomberg meldt dat het bedrijf mogelijk wordt opgenomen in de NASDAQ 100-index. Dit zou kunnen resulteren in maar liefst 2 miljard dollar aan kapitaalinstroom van passieve beleggers. Saylor koopt elke week voor miljarden aan Bitcoin door aandelen of obligaties uit te geven, wat het bedrijf tot een van de snelstgroeiende aandelen op de Amerikaanse beurs heeft gemaakt. Riot Platforms gaat voor 500 miljoen dollar aan obligaties uitgeven om Bitcoin te kopen. Het is wederom een Bitcoinminer die deze strategie volgt, maar grote bedrijven volgen Saylor nog niet massaal. Bij Microsoft kwamen activistische aandeelhouders met een voorstel om cashreserves om te zetten in Bitcoin. Ondanks een presentatie van Saylor aan het bestuur ging Microsoft niet overstag. Aandeelhouders van Amazon moeten ook stemmen over een soortgelijk besluit. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met de CEO van Quantoz, Arnoud Star Busmann. Dat is een bedrijf uit Utrecht dat Stablecoins bouwt. Digitale euro's en dollars dus. We weten dat Tether, de bekendste stablecoin, daar vele miljarden mee verdient. De vraag is of Quantoz dat ook gaat lukken, want je moet toch een bepaald netwerkeffect bereiken. Co-host is Bert Slagter. Trump heeft oog op 150.000 dollar David Sacks crypto tsaar Bloomberg ziet Microstrategy opgenomen worden in NASDAQ 100 Microsoft aandeelhouders lopen niet warm voor Bitcoin Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, I sat down with Pierre Rochard, VP of Research of Riot Platforms Inc, at the Adopting Bitcoin Conference, and we covered a lot. Pierre shared how he first discovered Bitcoin, his journey from traditional finance to becoming a leader in the Bitcoin space, and how his passion for accounting and open-source software led him to build tools like the Node Launcher and Lightning integrations.We also dove into the challenges and opportunities in Bitcoin mining, especially in the U.S., where Pierre has been on the frontlines of regulatory battles to protect the industry. He explained why Texas is a hotspot for mining, how the U.S. can stay ahead in the global mining race, and why nuclear power could play a big role in the future.Of course, we had to talk about El Salvador—what Pierre loves about the country, its leadership under President Bukele, and its potential to become the Singapore of Latin America.

My friend Pierre Rochard (VP Research at Riot Platforms) rejoins me on the show to discuss some of his latest views. Summary In this conversation, Stephan and Pierre discuss the concept of long-term savings in Bitcoin and its product-market fit. Pierre introduces a metric for measuring long-term savings by looking at the age of UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs). They also explore the idea of rebalancing and the importance of aligning financial decisions with personal goals. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of running a profitable business in a Bitcoin standard and the role of passive index equity investing in a hyper Bitcoinized world. Further, Pierre and Stephan discuss the implications of individuals and governments holding Bitcoin. They explore the idea of investing time in Bitcoin rather than just money, and how businesses can leverage Bitcoin without large capital investments. They also touch on the moral implications of educating others about Bitcoin and the potential cultural changes that may occur on a Bitcoin standard. The conversation concludes with a discussion on government adoption of Bitcoin and the impact it may have on society. Takeaways Bitcoin has found product-market fit in the area of long-term savings, as evidenced by the increasing number of UTXOs that have not moved in more than a year. The age of Bitcoin UTXOs can provide insights into the behavior of hodlers and the overall health of the Bitcoin network. Rebalancing should be driven by personal goals and values, rather than trying to time the market or follow others' advice. In a Bitcoin standard, it may be challenging for businesses to outperform Bitcoin in terms of returns, but there may still be a role for active investing and supporting entrepreneurial ventures. Passive index equity investing may become less prevalent in a hyper Bitcoinized world, as individuals prioritize holding Bitcoin and investing in businesses they are actively involved in. Investing time in Bitcoin can be just as valuable as investing money. Businesses can leverage Bitcoin without large capital investments. Educating others about Bitcoin is important, but it's not necessary to force people onto the Bitcoin journey. Cultural changes on a Bitcoin standard may include a shift towards lower time preference and more focus on family and spirituality. Government adoption of Bitcoin can move them away from being a state and towards a more decentralized entity. The amount of Bitcoin a government holds should be based on their immediate needs and the uncertainty of the future. Government adoption of Bitcoin can accelerate Bitcoin adoption among individuals. The moral implications of the government holding Bitcoin depend on whether it leads to the violation of the non-aggression principle. Taxation with Bitcoin becomes more difficult, which may lead to a reduction in government spending. Advocating for a strategic reserve of Bitcoin can lead to more conversations and ultimately more Bitcoin adoption.

Yael is Deputy Director at the Consumer Choice Center and a visiting fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Pierre is VP of Research at Riot Platforms.

In an exciting development this week, former President Donald Trump made a bold declaration about cryptocurrency, showcasing his belief that the U.S. has the capacity for immense growth and 'energy dominance.' This forward-thinking stance took shape during Trump's late-night message shared through Truth Social, wherein he posited that Bitcoin mining in the U.S. could serve as a defense against a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This indicates Trump's transformative vision wherein he envisions a surge in U.S. based mining operations utilizing local resources. The Trump administration was known for disruptive innovation, and the former President's interest in Bitcoin signalizes a reinforcement of this ethos. Trump, recognized as the initial U.S. Presidential candidate to accept crypto donations, hosted an influential meeting early Tuesday with members of CleanSpark Inc. and Riot Platforms, both prominent players in the Bitcoin mining industry and listed giants on Nasdaq. The conversation that unfolded at Mar-a-Lago was one of possibilities, highlighting the stabilizing role miners play in the energy grid. With Bitcoin's supply cap at 21 million, the mining process set to conclude around the year 2140 as per Coingecko, having mined 90% of the supply presently, the idea of centralizing this process domestically offers a strategic advantage. Trump, who made headlines earlier in the month when he threw his support behind Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency industry during his address at the Libertarian National Convention, denoted a stark shift from his previous apprehensions. As his endorsement echoed around the world, it underlined the growing momentum of crypto and its increasing influence in politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pierre Rochard is a VP of Research at Riot Platforms and Morgen Rochard is the founder and lead financial planner of Origin Wealth Advisers LLC. In this interview, we discuss the potential of Bitcoin, its growing legitimacy, the importance of using it responsibly and the misconceptions surrounding it. We also discuss the potential impact of a Bitcoin ETF, the role of stablecoins, and the state of the global economy. - - - - Pierre & Morgen Rochard have expertise across both the technical and financial aspects of Bitcoin. It was therefore an opportune moment to take a deep dive into where we currently are in relation to Bitcoin's purpose, its security and susceptibility to attack, its role as part of an investment portfolio, and its fundamental role as a new form of money. We discussed Pierre's evolved perspective on the interaction of transaction fees, energy use and security. Fundamentally, does the brilliance of Bitcoin's original design and the game theory behind a 51% attack, mean that it is unlikely to be attacked? Therefore, is the effort in trying to ensure transaction fees are high enough to increase security becomes moot? Further, we talk about the importance of using Bitcoin responsibly and in a way that can make the world a better place. Should the freedom provided by Bitcoin be used to make positive choices and improve the world, rather than for non-essential purposes like putting jpegs on the blockchain? If blockspace is a scarce and valuable commodity, should there be a moral consensus on how it is used? Morgan shared her perspective on investing in Bitcoin and the general advice to consider it as a long-term savings asset. Morgan advises against using leverage and suggests a 30-50% allocation as being appropriate for most people. We also discussed the topic of adoption and whether it needs to be at a slow pace to enable the rebalancing of portfolios. This is important as people realize that Bitcoin is a backup plan in case the fiat economy fails. We discussed the growing legitimacy of Bitcoin within important groups. This reinforces the importance of investing in education and public policy to fight misconceptions and ensure that the truth about Bitcoin is being shared. We also touched on the potential impact of a Bitcoin ETF, highlighting the limitations of ETFs, and the importance of encouraging individuals to own Bitcoin outright and holding their own keys. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-financial-advice This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

“In order to match inflation, to meet long term goals, and to do all the things people want to do in their lives, they're being forced beyond their risk tolerance…in my mind, Bitcoin even though it's a volatile asset, you're actually not being forced beyond your risk tolerance because it's a savings vehicle.”— Morgen RochardPierre Rochard is a VP of Research at Riot Platforms and Morgen Rochard is the founder and lead financial planner of Origin Wealth Advisers LLC.
