In the February 2024 patron Q&A, Andreas answered questions related to DCA (dollar cost averaging) purchasing and avoiding dust (too small to move due to fees) transactions. The question made a great point - which was how to balance the competing mantras: (1) buy using DCA, which means buying small amounts each week regardless of price, (2) don't leave bitcoin on an exchange, and (3) don't reuse addresses. In this video, Andreas discusses how to balance those mantras and suggests one possible solution. As always, your risk model and your needs will be your own - use this information as a guide for you to evaluate your risks, your needs, and your goals.

There has been a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to multisig. When it's a good idea to use and when it's not. Like any tool, in the right hands it becomes an excellent way to achieve your goals; in the wrong hands, using it can lead to disaster. In this video, Andreas clarifies when it's a good idea, and a not so good idea, for you to use multisig as part of your bitcoin and cryptoasset security system. If you're watching this video, you might also be interested in the Path to Self Custody workshop bundle which includes a hands-on demonstration of how to set up, test, use, and restore a hardware wallet. Andreas' workshops come with a 14 day money back guarantee, so you can try it without risk -- this might just be the LEAST risky thing in bitcoin!

This short video was taken from Andreas' April 2023 Q&A for patrons, in response to a question about the effects of CBDCs on privacy and the freedoms promised by open finance tools, like bitcoin. Video summary: Today, we're stepping into the world of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, CBDCs are centrally controlled, and they come with strings attached. They will be used to implement anti-money laundering controls. But these controls aren't about stopping big players from making controversial purchases - they're more likely to prevent everyday folks like us from buying Bitcoin.But CBDCs are more than just digital money. They're an integrated system of command, control, and surveillance. Money has traditionally been seen as a means of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account, but with CBDCs, we see the emergence of a fourth aspect - money as a means of control. This shift could have significant implications, marking a kind of 'Nirvana' or dystopian end, depending on how you see it, in the evolution of money.If you'd like to learn more about this topic, take a look at a longer talk from Andreas entitled: Money as a System of Control: https://youtu.be/FyK4P7ZdOK8 This talk is featured in The Internet of Money volume 3, which can be purchased in multiple languages in paperback, ebook, or audiobook: https://aantonop.comIf you'd like to support this work, we invite you to join us at https://www.patreon.com/aantonop COMMENT below and let us know what you think of the video.

This Q&A is an excerpt from an answer Andreas gave during the March 2023 Q&A session for patrons. The question was related to the large reorg that happened during Bitcoin's early days and specifically what happened to the transactions that weren't actually confirmed. During the answer, it became clear that people needed clarification as to what "the" mem pool actually is and what it's not. Hint: there is no "the" mem pool.

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan for a discussion about the origins and evolution of Bitcoin maximalism.Bitcoin maximalists – the self-described pro-Bitcoin, anti-altcoin faithful – have been around for longer than most modern crypto projects. The term was coined by Vitalik Buterin prior to Ethereum's release. Buterin intended the term to be a direct criticism of individuals with an unwavering view that Bitcoin was the only true option for cryptographic token use-cases.In this episode as we explore the phenomenon's' motivation and roots, we also draw from Speaking of Bitcoin's extensive library. It features the very first recorded explanation of why there should only be one cryptocurrency and why should be bitcoin as explained by Hashcash inventor and bitcoin developer Adam Back . That clip is excerpted from episode 77 Mindtomatter – E77-the-adam-back-interview (December 2013) before Adam became personally involved. It's a fascinating journey and one you won't want to miss.CreditsToday’s show featured Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Jonathan Mohan, Stephanie Murphy and Adam B. Levine, with editing by Jonas and Adam B.

In this livestream, Andreas talks about the IMF and El Salvador, the IMF and Bitcoin, and what it means for a country to adopt bitcoin as national currency. He also answers questions about the metaverse, no not the facebook one, cryptocurrency cold storage and so much more. Chapters0:00:00 Beginning of stream0:02:04 Beginning of sound0:04:13 Three related questions together:Do you believe using BTC as a national currency is a good thing? If so, what are some reasons that countries should make the switch? [walter]What are the implication of Bitcoin as legal tender. What can the IMF do or say about it? [Becker]What do you think of the IMF telling El Salvador to remove bitcoin as legal tender?0:11:26 What do you think about the relationship between blockchain technology and the metaverse? Is this something forced and overhyped, or is this actually a practical solution to social and financial issues? [Walter]0:15:39 I heard that your YouTube channel got hacked, alongside many other crypto YouTubers. Do you believe this is an inside job? Is such an inside job likely or realistic at a crypto exchange?0:19:48 In general tax on crypto gains are based on gain/loss between value at purchase date and value at sale date. When I take some BTC out of my cold wallet to sell it, how do I know what specific BTC from my previous purchases am I selling now? [Crytocat]0:23:30 Is there any truth to the argument that bitcoin will have more than 21 million coins. The claim is the security model breaks when there are only transaction fees. What are your thoughts on this?0:29:46 Cold storage is always air-gapped in my mind. My friend believes you can produce a hot wallet and turn it cold. Thinking "Cold"/"Hot" relates to being online or offline at a particular time, not a past or future condition. Your thoughts? [TheVoice]0:33:45 I calculate it on excel. 21 million is approximate. if the block is created strictly every 10 minutes, even after 500 years there will be only 21,024,000 bitcoin [SinisterCr03]0:34:52 Thank you to supporters0:36:56 AOPP Address Ownership Proof Protocol is highly discussed right now. I think it's an glass half full/empty argument. Both sides have valid arguments. Can you explain AOPP in detail? Especially what is sent and recieved? [Becker]0:46:34 Moxie recently wrote an article saying web3 is not decentralised because people don't want to run servers and everyone makes api calls to the same servers such as opensea do you agree? do you think web3 will be more decentralised than web2?

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan for a discussion about crypto cycles and consequences.As 2022 kicks into gear many of us are wondering what's in store for bitcoin and the broader crypto markets. Our lives, although our own, are driven by cycles which are often outside of our control. These cycles create the environment in which we each try to find happiness and success. But we can't see the cycles, at least not until they've come to pass and so we can't tell if this time is different until it's too late.Credits:Today’s show featured Andreas M.
