TD₿: The TRUE Value of Bitcoin Explained! - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Bitcoin is the solution to inflation and broken money, preserving $450 trillion in global wealth. Trump’s potential Day-One executive order could reshape the economy.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Bitcoin has surged past $100K, attracting global attention, with more world leaders endorsing it. In today’s video, Hurley cover the growing momentum for the U.S. to create a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Leaders worldwide, including in Russia, China, and Europe, are calling for Bitcoin adoption to protect against inflation and avoid a centralized, controlled digital currency. Notably, European MP Sarah Nefo praised Bitcoin for its potential after El Salvador's success.
The key benefits of Bitcoin as money lie in its scarcity, liquidity, divisibility, portability, and authenticity. Unlike traditional fiat currencies that can be debased, Bitcoin offers a more moral and transparent alternative, preserving the value of people’s labor and time.
This potential shift toward Bitcoin represents a $450 trillion opportunity and would reshape how wealth is stored and exchanged globally if a Bitcoin Standard is adopted.

Nasdaq Proposes Rule Change to Enable In-Kind Bitcoin Redemptions for BlackRock ETF
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF may undergo a major update, as Nasdaq proposed a rule change allowing in-kind Bitcoin redemptions. This would let large institutional investors redeem ETF shares directly for Bitcoin, instead of selling the Bitcoin through market makers for cash, as is currently required.
The new rule, if approved, would simplify the redemption process by reducing the number of steps and parties involved. It could also reduce the amount of Bitcoin sold during ETF redemptions, potentially lessening market pressure. This change follows the SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 under the Biden administration.
