Understand the problems, before understanding Bitcoin

There’s something sinister on the horizon for global markets right now. Any rational person can see it.

Bitcoin has been grappling with the Macro outlook, Faketoshi’s lawsuit and the lingering after effects of Luna and other scams that gobbled up the leverage throughout the crypto system.

However, when chatting with Bitcoiners who ignore the noise and focus on the long-term; there is still a strong presence of positivity and patience.

Let’s take a look at a few things that have been happening recently…

What can we expect from Bitcoin this year?

There are a lot of possibilities this year and the biggest short-term factor will undoubtedly be what Central Banks decide to do. Dovish or Hawkish – either will drive the price.

In the long-term, however, it doesn’t matter. This is why we implore people to have a long-term perspective on their Bitcoin holdings.
As Bitcoin adopters put in more time and effort to understanding this asset, we will likely see this asset move from risk-on to risk-off, with a lot of volatility in between.

Sit back, focus on the things that matter, don’t try to time the markets, stack more Sats, have a long-term perspective and enjoy the ride.

Have a great year ahead!

The real reasons why you shouldn’t keep your Bitcoin on exchanges

You may have heard about the famous exchange hack on Mt. Gox where hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin were stolen from users. Bitcoiners learnt a very valuable lesson from that, and since then around 75-78% of Bitcoin is kept in cold storage, and off exchanges. 

This wasn’t the last hack. There was one 2 months ago, on the Japanese exchange, Liquid, where around $80m in Crypto was stolen.

What is the Bitcoin ETF and what does it mean?

The Bitcoin ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track and mimic the value of Bitcoin. These are traded on traditional market exchanges and allow individuals and more importantly, institutions to indirectly invest in Bitcoin, without having to own or custody it themselves. In other words, the Bitcoin ETF will allow investors to seek return via the Bitcoin price, without actually owning the asset themselves.
