Just finished reading through a strategic report on de-dollarization and how the euro is apparently the closest contender for reserve currency status. No mention of #bitcoin at all.

Meanwhile dozens of federal, state and municipal governments around the world have or are considering bitcoin reserves.

We hire very smart people in our industry but they all seem to have horse blinders on when it comes to bitcoin 🤦‍♂️

Big news today! The window of opportunity to buy some bitcoin and front run all US state governments is now closing.

Fear of change is such a powerful emotion. Only way through is to face your fear. #studybitcoin

Received my signed copy of The Big Print today, thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsxc56ajk5xtxerf4dqspgrfa0s5elrcr80lnz9nasldq87j3zzf0cpqqq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7ppshj0! I want to share a quick story about this book because it’s really such an amazing personal experience of the power of the human connectivity supercharging Bitcoin adoption.

When I started studying Bitcoin in 2020 Larry was one of the minds I latched onto right away. I went through a good stretch of watching every appearance of his I could find on YouTube.

I was thrilled to meet him when I did and at the time he was someone I was starstruck to have talked to.

Flash forward and we got chatting at @CdnBitcoinConf in Montreal and he took a copy of my book (which in itself was so cool). After reading it he started asking me questions about the process as he was sharing the idea for the book he wanted to write.

I was fortunate to see various versions of Big Print along the way and each draft I saw I had to pinch myself that it was happening.

This is the magic of Bitcoin. A decentralized movement to solve humanity’s most pressing problem.

I strongly believe that any action we take creates the possibility for something greater.

Today there are people out there who don’t understand bitcoin yet, that will play important roles in what is to come.

Someone will be their Larry Lepard.

Take action. You never know what might happen next.

Larry is doing the rounds and there are tons of pods telling his story right now, but he’s our guest on TBR this week. It’s a conversation I enjoyed immensely. (Link below)

Thank you for the incredible book Larry, I can’t wait to read it again.

so cool

Reinsurance and insurance companies still don’t see #bitcoin exposure as viable for their investment portfolios. I think we will start to look at it when long-tail line claims inflation (esp on the insurance side) far exceeds our actuarial estimates and we realize we need a better hedge than holding inflation protected bonds (which are CPI linked). Then maybe the likes of Allianz and Mass Mutual will look like geniuses.
