In this video, I discuss Bitcoin Knots nodes hitting 15% of the network, and how running Knots can help to mitigate Bitcoin's spam problem.

Bitcoin Knots is the best way to run a Bitcoin node, so that you can verify that your BTC is real-- and so that you don't need to trust someone else's node.

Bitcoin Knots gives you much more configurability than Bitcoin Core and makes you the king of your own mempool, rather than forcing you to rely on the whims of Bitcoin Core devs.

Bitcoin Knots allows you to fight back against malicious mining pools, crypto VC's, and Bitcoin Core devs who are working together to make it easier to spam the network.

Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

In this video, I discuss why Bitcoin's fiat price pumping really matters:

1) Bitcoin's price pumping is its marketing department, drawing in new people who come for the gains, but stay for the freedom and enlightenment

2) Bitcoin's price pumping gives Bitcoin couples the financial confidence to start a family, and allows Bitcoiners to push back against authoritarian regimes

3) Bitcoin's price pumping increases its market cap, liquidity, daily trading volume, and daily settled value, which makes it an increasingly competitive investment asset like gold, stocks, bonds, and real estate

4) As Bitcoin pumps, it demonetizes gold, reducing demand for new gold and helping to prevent future damage from gold mining operations

5) As Bitcoin pumps, it demonetizes housing as a store of value, thus increasing housing affordability

6) As Bitcoin pumps, it becomes large enough to service the global economy as money.

In this video, I discuss MARA, which may be the worst publicly traded Bitcoin mining company in America.

Not only do they run a money-losing operating business, but they are also poor stewards of the Bitcoin network, previously overcomplying with OFAC-compliant blocks, mining competitor chains like Kaspa, and collecting extra fees from putting spam into Bitcoin blocks.

In spite of MARA's very poor stock performance since taking the helm, Fred Thiel continues to take home $35-40 million per year in annual compensation-- probably because he is both CEO and Chairman of the Board.

If you own MARA, you should ask yourself why you own a stock that insiders continue to dump.

In this video, I discuss Bitcoin's USD fiat price hitting new all-time highs, what the "experts" got wrong, and where Bitcoin is headed next (hint: millions of dollars per coin).

At the end of the video, I also discuss how Bitcoin can enrich not just our financial lives, but also our personal and family lives as well. Bitcoin buys you time to pursue what's really important to you in life.

In this video, I discuss how to mine Bitcoin at home using a Start9 server, a Bitcoin Knots node, Datum Gateway, and a Bitaxe miner.

This is your chance to support the Bitcoin network by:

1) Running a Knots node that will help to stop spam from being sent around the network

2) Building your own spam-free blocks

3) Giving yourself the chance to win over $325,000 in BTC if you solo mine a block

It's a fun project that will teach you a lot, and it will give you the chance to play the "Bitcoin lottery" every 10 minutes.

In this video, I discuss the various talking points that pro-Bitcoin-Core people have been using to justify their decision to blow open the spam filters.

This gaslighting includes pretending that they have no idea what you mean by "spam," then later asserting that spam does exist, but will be magically priced out by monetary uses of Bitcoin.

I also discuss allegations that some Bitcoin Core devs don't even use their own software, and also that some may have blown up and lost a lot of their BTC using too much leverage in the last bear market.

For these reasons (and many more), I've personally dumped Bitcoin Core software and now run only Bitcoin Knots.
