TD₿: The Emergence of Bitcoin as a Superior Money - (a Swan Signal video segment) with Sam Callahan
TL;DR: The recent Bitcoin halving officially introduced Bitcoin as the hardest money the world has ever known - for the rest of time. BTC is the base monetary unit of account of civilization.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Chris Kuiper, Director of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, shares his extensive work on why investors should look at Bitcoin first and what differentiates it from all other cryptocurrencies with Swan Lead Analyst Sam Callahan.
They discuss Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake, the importance of electricity consumption in Bitcoin's decentralization and security, and how different systems try to bypass the laws of physics and their risks.
Enjoy!
