It’s no secret that storing your wealth in dollars is not the greatest idea. We all look for ways to maintain or increase our purchasing power. We take dollars and we trade them into something that will hold value as a solution to the depreciating money problem. One solution that I’m not on board with is treasury bonds.
A treasury bond is essentially a claim for future dollars, but what will those future dollars be worth? The value of the dollar is variable. It’s difficult to predict the purchasing power of a dollar in 10 to 30 years, but it is a given that it will be worth less. It’s ironic to run away from the dollar by investing in dollars. A better solution is investing in an asset that you see value in. Invest in an asset that is appreciating, not one that is constantly depreciating.

I expect a decent move to the upside for Bitcoin prior to the Spot ETF approvals in early January. We’re going to see both big and small players front-run this bullish catalyst.

I recently purchased a subscription to ChatGPT Plus. I have been blown away by the capabilities of GPT 4 (Chatbot) and DALL-E 3 (Image Generation). The above images were generated by DALL-E 3. This is a great investment for anyone looking to learn or design.
This is a great tool to increase productivity & efficiency. In my personal experience, chatGPT has allowed me to research more effectively and save time. I’m planning on utilizing DALL-E 3 moving forward to take my content creation to the next level. It’s crazy to think that we are only in the early innings of artificial intelligence. You’ve gotta be bullish!
Check it out if you haven’t gotten the chance! I’m sure there are great alternatives in the market/in development as well. I’m excited to see these products evolve.

What are some use cases for Bitcoin besides money? I think Bitcoin is going to be a base layer of trust for society. It’s a ledger and we can use it to store different types of information. What else can we use this ledger for?

What’s the most important piece of advice you’ve received?
Bitcoin is not an investment vehicle for more dollars, Bitcoin is the dollar’s replacement.
If you ask someone who understands this, “What price would you sell at?”, for many that price is probably not in US dollars. Why sell better money for worse money.
Speaking for myself, I’m only selling my Bitcoin if it’s the only medium another will accept for something I need/want, or if I need to exchange it into another medium for something I need/want.
As Bitcoin continues to grow and fiat currencies continue to depreciate, this will accelerate Bitcoin’s function as a medium of exchange and this replacement process.
I think this process is faster than most people are forecasting. The more Bitcoin grows, the more people will realize that it’s better money. This will get to a tipping point, where people stop accepting the dollar and start accepting Bitcoin.
I think of it like a seesaw. Once Bitcoin gets enough momentum, it will hyper-accelerate its growth/adoption. On the other side of the seesaw, it will hyper-accelerate the devaluation of the dollar/fiat currencies.

If something is inevitable, I believe it will happen sooner than expected
I see rate cuts and quantitative easing next year leading up to the election. The question is the timing? Will we see a preemptive pivot, or a reactionary pivot. Loading up on long bets, and you know my favorite bet.

I’ve been on Nostr for about 5 months now. I love the authenticity and purity of this platform. Most social media platforms feels polluted and manipulated. Nostr feels a lot healthier and I’m excited to see this platform grow.

I’m bullish on batteries! More specifically, the key metals (lithium, cobalt, nickel) used in the composition of lithium-ion batteries.
We’re in the first inning of the internet era. Over the recent decades we’ve witnessed the arrival of computers, cell phones, electric vehicles, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, etc. These technologies will continue to grow and will lead us to discover/produce new technologies we couldn’t see before.
Lithium-ion batteries are currently the main source of power for many of the technologies we use today. As the internet revolution continues to evolve, I see an increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. However, the supply of lithium, cobalt and nickel is limited.
With increased demand and a limited supply, I see the value of these metals going up over time.
I will note, the extraction of these metals, in particular cobalt, has historically been done in an inhumane way. Those who work in cobalt mines often have unsafe working conditions, are paid next to nothing and are often children. There has been an effort to replace cobalt in lithium-ion batteries. This is something to keep an eye on, and could have a significant impact on the value of cobalt.
For these metals, I am looking for ethical investment vehicles.

I was unaware they changed the criteria for M1. Thank you for correcting my error here. The increase in the money supply was less substantial than what I have stated above.
Why have prices gotten so high over the past couple of years? Is that annual ski trip starting to become a little over budget? The answer is simple.
This is a chart of the M1 money supply. The M1 money supply is a measurement of the most liquid forms of money (cash, checking accounts, travelers checks, etc). I decided to use this measurement here because it best represents the money that is circulating through the economy. In 2020 we saw the M1 money supply skyrocket like never before.
Following this increase, the markets ripped. People were unable to go out and spend money since everything was closed, so what did they do? Everyone started throwing money into the stock market, crypto, and other investments.
Once things opened back up in 2021, we saw a lot of this new money travel into goods and services as people looked to spend again. The result… higher prices for everyone.
Increasing the money supply does not increase value, it just reprices everything higher. When the circulating money supply increases over 4x in a year, you can expect a substantial increase in the price of investments, goods & services, assets, etc over time.
