Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Wave Coming

Please help to support this channel's work:

From Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University # Video Description > In this video, I discuss the changes that are making it easier for US corporations to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. > Bitcoin now has regulatory clarity as a digital commodity, so it doesn't count towards the 40% of assets upper limit that was set by the Investment Company Act of 1940. > Additionally, FASB has adopted fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin that will be used by all US companies, beginning in early 2025. > The last remaining piece of the puzzle is allowing large US banks to custody Bitcoin. When that piece is in place, the corporate arms race to accumulate Bitcoin will commence with full force. > Bitcoin is a much better store of value for corporate balance sheets than US government bonds, which lose purchasing power every year. originally posted at

Tether's Circle of Death

Please help to support this channel's work:

From Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University # Video Description > In this video, I discuss how Tether and USDT help to extend US dollar hegemony, while simultaneously helping to fund US government wars and covert operations. > Tether is one of the fastest growing exporters of US dollar colonialism. Here's how it works: 1) Encourage more people in the global South and elsewhere to use USDT 2) More global demand for USDT leads Tether to buy more US Treasuries to back new USDT 3) The issuance of more US Treasuries helps to fund US overseas adventurism, war, and CIA coups which hurt the very people in these countries who are buying USDT. > It's the circle of death: 1) You buy our USD deathcoin. 2) We'll use it to fund US government activities. 3) The US government will destabilize your country through war and coups-- 4) Thus leading you to need more USD because your local currency has been destroyed-- 5) So you buy more USDT and the cycle repeats. > What's a much better and more ethical way to spread Bitcoin adoption? You onboard people directly into Bitcoin, not the USD dollar or USD stablecoins. This is what is taking place in Bitcoin Jungle, where a real circular Bitcoin economy is developing. originally posted at

Well, we had it, Japans sudden rate hike broke a lot of things including stock trading platforms that shut down and stopped working, it broke prices as circuit breakers in Japan and the US were triggered, And it seems to have broken peoples view on their asset prices and investments, but… is it all warranted? Are more importantly, are the markets really melting down, was this just a warning before the big crash like lots of headlines are stating or… Is this a magic setup that will blast our assets off into next year?
