The Delphi Podcast - Jake Brukhman: Backing The Best In Crypto & NFTs '" Metaverse Musings Ep 23

In the last week, bitcoin broke $50,000 for the first time, a significant milestone, helped by corporate adoption. Tesla's $1.5bn bitcoin buy was a watershed moment. Still, it would likely not have happened without MicroStrategy, who themselves announced this week that they would be raising another $900 million to acquire more bitcoin. Using Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset is only expected to grow, with some bitcoiners suggesting that as many as half the S&P500 will hold bitcoin in their balance sheet before the end of 2021. The next logical step after corporate adoption of Bitcoin is the nation-state. With India looking to ban Bitcoin, it is clear there is still a large amount of scepticism from nation-states. However, the first country to embrace Bitcoin will likely see the same benefits as MicroStrategy did. In this interview, I talk to Bill Barhydt, the CEO and Founder of Abra. We discuss what $50k bitcoin means, increasing corporate adoption and which nation-state will be the first to embrace Bitcoin.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, the whole gang is together again to talk about 'œChina unbans bitcoin!', the weekend flash crash, Coinbase execs selling into the IPO, Signal's MobileCoin, Xinjiang power blackout affecting mining, and when it is and is not OK to tickle people. From Ban Hammer to inclusive fluffer, the Chinese government has now labeled bitcoin as an 'œinvestment alternative' CNBC reports. 'œWe regard Bitcoin and stablecoin as crypto assets ... These are investment alternatives,' Li Bo, deputy governor of the PBOC. 'œThey are not currency per se. And so the main role we see for crypto assets going forward, the main role is investment alternative.' Has Bitcoin gotten the CCP to throw in the white towel? '" https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/19/china-calls-bitcoin-an-investment-alternative-marking-shift-in-tone.html Bitcoin is Crashing! BTC dropped $8,000 on Sunday but quickly recovered. While we try very hard not to talk about the price on the show, there has been MUCH less of this type of activity this bull run compared to 2017. What do we think could be the difference and will we see more or less of this type of volatility going forward? Coinbase went public last week with a market cap of around $86 Billion. (Congrats Coinbase.) Did 'œinsiders' 'œdump' billions of dollars worth on unsuspecting simps? '"https://twitter.com/fintechfrank/status/1384009278667689987?s=21 Signal integrated their own altcoin in their messaging app: 'œWe want payments in Signal to be fast, private, and work well on mobile devices. The first payments protocol we've added support for is a privacy focused payments network called MobileCoin, which has its own currency, MOB. Signal Payments makes it easy to link a MobileCoin wallet to Signal so you can start sending funds to friends and family, receive funds from them, keep track of your balance, and review your transaction history with a simple interface. As always, our goal is to keep your data in your hands rather than ours; MobileCoin's design means Signal does not have access to your balance, full transaction history, or funds. You can also transfer your funds at any time if you want to switch to another app or service.'
