TD₿: Bitcoin is a... Financial Insurrection? - (a Swan original video series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: What is Bitcoin to you? You know nothing, Gary Snow!
Hey Bitcoiners,
Meet the Sharpe ratio; the Sharpe ratio meet Gary Gensler…
The Sharpe ratio measures risk-adjusted return or how much excess return you receive for the volatility of holding a riskier asset. The current Bitcoin Sharpe ratio is 3.30 or 42.12% higher than the AMZN Sharpe Ratio of 1.39…
Gary, per usual (and Mark Cuban, for that matter), doesn't understand the difference between 'currency" and the Bitcoin Standard.
When you ask your friend, "Can I borrow some money for a coffee?"
They didn’t ask you for money; they asked to borrow currency - it's an exercise in the belief that the piece of paper in your pocket will buy them the same coffee the next day.
Maybe? Maybe not!
While the Dallas Mavericks continue to accept Dogecoin and Cuban pushes altcoin "DeFi" nonsense on retail - Bitcoin hit an all-time high this week, and the bull run is officially underway.
Take the hot takes of billionaires with a grain of salt. You are holding the hardest asset and form of money ever.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten

Quote of the Day
“Bitcoin is a discovery on par with that of the wheel, the number zero or the ability to start a fire, mistaken for a gimmick by the masses.”
