My MBA alma mater has engaged me to teach a 5 week (10 total sessions) course in #Bitcoin to graduate finance students. I’m assuming they have zero knowledge. What do you think of my class topics? 1. Why Bitcoin Matters —problems with current system and why Bitcoin exists. 2. Bitcoin’s Mighty History —who/how Bitcoin was developed and important dates. 3. Trust in Cyberspace —Byzantine generals, double spend problem, and miner/node security. 4. Bitcoin Tokenomics and Security —tokenomics, UTXOs, fees, public/private keys + wallet transaction demo. 5. Bitcoin Investment Case —Bitcoin’s annualized returns and volatility dynamics. 6. Bitcoin’s Legitimacy in Finance —IRS, ETFs, FASB, SAB121, strategic reserve. 7. Corporate Playbook with Bitcoin —MSTR, SEC40 Act, breaks in conventional corporate strategy. 8. Financial Applications on Bitcoin —borrowing, rewards paid in btc, bitcoin bonds, lightning network. 9. Bitcoin and AI: Opportunities and Threats —scarcity counterbalance to abundance, quantum computing, real time payments, paying AIs. 10. Bitcoin in Your Career —engage Bitcoin at current career, get Bitcoin-based job, Bitcoin in all industries. Each session will have lectures, activities, resources, and assignments. Lmk if there are any suggestions. #asknostr #grownostr #AI #btc #gm #pv

When i type ‘Omw’ and it turns into ‘On my way!’ I will literally delete it and retype. I should probably just change the auto correct in settings but I’ll wait til I can have an #AI agent do it for me. #gm

Thoughts on #bitcoin as a medium of exchange… This will start in the extremes of the bell curve, where some #zap on #nostr and buy coffee, and where nation states transact energy in #btc. Then it’ll become more normalized to purchase housing/hard assets in btc IF the US eliminates a taxable event in purchases made in bitcoin. How you’d prove this would be some sort of hashed invoice from the seller that you present to the IRS, if that exists by that point. Anyway, once bitcoin’s fiat value stables under +/- 20% annual volatility, then the middle bell curve comprising all goods will start to be purchased. At this point energy to btc will be so common that most items may also be priced in #sats and/or two prices will be given where sats would be lower than their fiat equivalent for the same item. The free market would detect this and it would slowly transition our economy to be built atop bitcoin. A much more peaceful flip than the violent economic collapse as many bitcoiners gravitate toward.

The #bitcoin community really needs an open sourced and standardized educational curriculum for grades K-12, undergraduate, and grad school students. This curriculum could be broken down by grade level, and area of expertise, from the philosophy of the technology, to Bitcoin the network and all the technical concepts, to bitcoin the asset and its effect on markets and the macro economy at large. My fear is students, who are the future of our world, are not equipped with sufficient skill sets to enter the workforce and drive meaningful change, in particular to this special protocol. And what’s more concerning is the rise of #AI and how fewer young people will be able to have significant impact in the world. By forming this open sourced curriculum, accompanied with strategic state-funded (not federal) partnerships, it’s possible we will see the rise of a bitcoin-native generation instead of telling them to guess what they should do with no real direction for their futures as we literally enter the most confusing and change-filled time in human history. To close, as a former MBA student, I have been disgusted by the lack of focus on this field. Schools cannot do it from within, they need us to help.

I wake up in the morning, I got #bitcoin on my mind #gm

PSA to all #bitcoin podcasters: 1. Thank you 2. Let the guest speak 90% of the time. We know you’re a bitcoiner yourself, but you don’t need to ‘relate’ to the speaker or over qualify your question. Just ask and let them do their thing.

#UFC 312 wasn’t very good. DDP and Strickland went how I expected, but I’m looking toward the at DDP/Khamzat fight… South Africa??
