🎉 This Week in Bitcoin is back after my holiday break and with a whopper. I packed the episode. Fiscal dominance is taking stage, and I think Bitcoin will benefit, but I'm not nearly as bullish on 2025 as most, and I think I have the receipts to back it up: Plus, I had a chance to review the Blockstream Jade and Block's BitKey wallets and discuss how they compare to each other and the ColdCard. Don't miss the excellent links in the show notes either; cream of the crop: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/41 In your player of choice: https://episodes.fm/1733733790/episode/OTQzNzE0YjAtMzE3Ni00OWI0LTg1OWQtN2E0Yjg5NjgwODc3

Santa got Levi the Pod Dog some things to keep him warm on winter walks. 😋 Merry Christmas!

Why did the market tank when the Fed cut rates? And are normies finally realizing inflation is staying higher for longer? I break it allll down, and why I'd rather not see an Executive Order to create a #Bitcoin Reserve in the US, but there is at least one upshot. 🎉 Enjoy, it's the last planned episode of the year! 🎅 https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/the-15-trillion-tantrum

What's wild to me is how most of the free software and #Linux community is just totally sleeping on Bitcoin. Still. Let's not lose sight of the fact that #Bitcoin is open source code. Just because most of the open source community don't recognize or celebrate what an achievement $100k is, that doesn't take away from how historic it actually is. Bitcoin is not some Apple product or something Elon is selling, it's owned by the people because "everyone" else slept on this technology for 14+ years.

$100k! Not gonna lie, it does feel like a bigger deal than $20k did. What's even more impressive is just the insane amount of trading volume happening right now. When do these people sleep? 😉

Hey #nostr frens 👋 I think Bitcoin adoption might be the best thing to happen to the dollar system, and I discuss my thoughts around #Bitcoin backed loans, and why everyone can calm down about the Bitcoin ETFs.
