  • Bitcoin Army: Dollar Cost Average vs Lump Sum | THIS WILL SURPRISE YOU with Haas McCook

    Dollar cost avraging or buy bitcoin in one lump sum? Which is better? Most investor that are new to bitcoin and investing aren't familiar with the term dollar cost average. In this video, Haas McCook breaks down why he believes the dollar-cost averaging strategy is the most effective way to acquire bitcoin. 

    Currently, the price has been trading sideways between $30k to $40k for the last three months. During this time you've heard moon boys calling for $100k by "the end of each and every month" and the bearish of bears calling for sub $25k. 

    So who is right?

    The answer is nobody REALLY knows. 

    This makes it extremely difficult to time your purchases in bitcoin. 

    Dollar-cost averaging is taking a lump sum of money and dividing it up over a set period of time.

    DCA is an effective way to acquire bitcoin while taking the emotion out of it and is one of the reasons Haas McCook is so passionate about it. 

    Haas has run the numbers and if 70 million bitcoiners were to purchase $10 of bitcoin a day we would quickly see an $800,000 bitcon. Fast forward to the next halvning cycle in 2024 when the daily supply is cut from 900 bitcoin to 450 bitcoin. This would put the price of bitcoin at $1,600,000 per bitcoin. 

    To hit these numbers a strong price floor needs to be established and dollar cost averaging is the best way to do it..

  • Are Bitcoin Gains Taxable and How To Protect Them with Brian T. Bradley | RHF 020

    There's often mass confusion about bitcoin and taxes. Many new bitcoiners are simply unaware and don't know what is/isn't a taxable event. In today's episode, Matthew chat's with Brian Bradley an asset protection lawyer about bitcoin taxes and how to protect them. 

    If you plan on going to El Salvador as a US citizen to spend some of your bitcoin you may want to think twice. The IRS classifies bitcoin as property and will tax it accordingly. If you buy a coffee using your Lightning Wallet you are technically selling your property and creating a taxable event. 

    Now, will you report this bitcoin taxable event? 

    That's up to you. 

    Brian's clients are High Net Worth Individuals who understand the privy of taxes. They want to pay the least amount of taxes on their bitcoin and protect it.  

    Setting up a domestic trust in the US is a great way to protect your bitcoin from litigation and frivolous lawsuits and should be strongly considered by bitcoiners with large bags.

  • Long Term Debt Cycles Explained and Bitcoin Hyperization | THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE!!! with Dylan LeClair | RHF: 018

    Long-term debt cycles typically play out every 100 years according to Ray Dalio which means most of us haven't been around to witness it. Bitcoin is the solution to the current long-term debt cycle set to blow up at any moment.

    In this video, Matthew chat's with Dylan Leclair from Bitcoin Magazine to discuss his inciteful article Conclusion Of The Long Term Debt Cycle and The Rise of Bitcoin. They discuss topics such as long-term debt cycles, bitcoin, negative interest rates, bonds selling off, bitcoin hyperization, quantitative easing, and much more.

    Most investors are familiar with short-term debt cycles between 5 to 10 years. However, we're not too familiar with long-term debt cycles and how they really work. Ray Dalio from Bridgewater Associates is one of the biggest asset managers in the world and wrote about this topic.

    In his book Principles, he explains how every 100 years there's a deleveraging event that shocks the financial system.

    Currently, in 2021, we're approaching the end of this long-term debt cycle.

    So what will save us?

    The answer: Bitcoin

    In the near future after the long-term debt cycle unwinds the financial system will be seeking a currency in which they can trust. Bitcoin is the hardest, most sound money to ever exist, and is the answer to the end of the debt spiral.

  • Ledn.io - Best Bitcoin Lending Platform | Can We Trust Them with Mauricio De Bartomeleo | RHF 017

    Lending out your bitcoin is risky but Lendn.io is leading the charge in mitigating its risk. In this video, Mauricio De Bartomeleo the Co-Founder of Ledn.io breaks down how lending works and why full transparency and audits are what differentiates the company.

    Bitcoin lending platforms are becoming the new norm for earning a yield on your bitcoin but not all platforms are the same. Most investors will usually run to the platform which is offering the highest yield while not fully understanding the risk.

    Ledn.io does a great job being fully transparent and is the ONLY crypto lending platform to run an audit every 6 months.

    This process in and of itself has caused me to have more confidence in Ledn.io and I would recommend you look into this platform further if you're looking to gain a yield on your bitcoin.

  • The Truth About Bitcoin Energy with Adam O | RHF 015

    Does bitcoin mining kill the planet? This is a FALSE notion and isn't true about bitcoin. In this video, Adam O tells us the truth about bitcoin and how it consumes energy responsibly. 

    You may have recently read an article online stating how bad bitcoin is for the planet and how anyone who is involved in bitcoin doesn't care about the earth. Well, these reports couldn't be more inaccurate and farther away from the truth. 

    Bitcoin mining forces miners to look for the cheapest forms of energy and how to best utilize it. Currently, 75% of all the bitcoin mining comes from renewable energy but this fact is often overlooked.

    Oil refineries,  dams, you name it all produce energy that is often wasted, can't be sold, or just lost. Bitcoin miners are capture this energy and are put it to good use mining bitcoin. 

    Gone are the days of wasted energy. Bitcoin can now preserve the value of energy thus causes entities to think about utilizing their resources.

  • Global Currency Reset with Bitcoin with Greg Foss | RHF 014

    Greg Foss explains to use how the global markets work, what's wrong with them, and how bitcoin will become the new global currency in the future.

    The US dollar continues to be debased year of year and is losing its value. This is a cause for concern for investors who have traditionally used and seen the US dollar as a store of value. The smart money knows this and sees a global currency reset coming and is looking to a new alternative - bitcoin!

    Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer distributed asset with a network effect that can't be debased or manipulated.
