  • No Keys, No Cheese w/ @BitcoinZay & @Bitcoin_Vegan

    Welcome to Episode 43 of The Halving Report!

    The market capitalization of cryptocurrency recently flipped that of silvers. We're seeing asset prices increase rapidly as government's around the world increase the money supply in effort to stifle the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. Many predict that Bitcoin will be the biggest beneficiary of this.

    Justin Rhedrick (Bitcoin Vegan)  and Isaiah Jackson (The Gentlemen of Crypto, Author of "Bitcoin and Black America") join me today to tell us why they have the majority of their wealth stored in Bitcoin, and why they don't plan on touching it for a very long time.

    Interestingly, Isaiah has been featured on @Coindesk @Forbes @CNBC @FOXBusiness @YahooFinance @BlackEnterprise and was the one to draw Justin into the Bitcoin space as well.

    Some of the topics we discuss include:

    - "Bitcoin and Black America" 1st and 2nd edition
    - Justin's book "In A Ocean Filled With Sharks: Be The Orca"
    - Dogecoin, and the Elon Musk affect
    - Hardware wallets: No Keys, No Cheese
    - The Satoshi millionaire campaign w @cashapp
    - Why BV and Zay are Bitcoin maximalists

  • Out with the (G)old, In with the NEW! BTC eating GOLD ETFs.

    Hey whats up everybody? Welcome to Episode 36 of The Halving Report with your host, Brad Mines.

    The price of Bitcoin is about $15,500.00 US dollars, or $21,100.00 CDN dollars at the time of this recording. There is about 1275 days or 42 months until the 2024 halving. If you play your cards right, you can benefit from the current Bitcoin cycle and anticipated bull run.

    Go to www.thehalvingreport.com to find out more, and check out all affiliate links and bonuses. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to direct message us on Twitter or Instagram.

    Recently, someone said to me that until Bitcoin is accepted by the government and institutions, they will continue to use
    the current system. The article https://u.today/jpmorgan-says-institutions-ditching-gold-etfs-for-bitcoin shows that it IS accepted by governments and institutions, and you just have to do a little more research.

    IMO, due to the characteristics that make Bitcoin valuable, eventually all governments will accept cryptocurrencies. I also think getting into Bitcoin just a few years earlier can make all the difference in your life. Just think, if the stock-to-flow model is accurate, Bitcoin is said to go 10x every 4 years. How much inflation does the dollar see over 4 years? Can we ever actually know that true figure?
       
    I think Jason Williams of Going Parobolic recent tweet said it best:
    "If you don't have Bitcoin in your portfolio right now slap yourself."
