Please help to support this channel's work: https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/join In this video, I discuss the quantum threat to Bitcoin. A really powerful quantum computer (which probably doesn't exist yet) could use Shor's algorithm (or other quantum algorithms) to reverse-engineer Bitcoin private keys from Bitcoin public keys, thus making it possible to steal someone'e Bitcoin. The solution is the creation of quantum-resistant Bitcoin addresses and then everyone moving their BTC from legacy addresses to these new addresses. Building consensus for a change like this will take time ..read more

Please help to support this channel's work: https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/join In this video, I discuss the recent Tucker interview with Roger Ver, early Bitcoin adopter and cheerleader for the failed B-Cash fork. Unfortunately, Tucker's ignorance about Bitcoin and Bitcoin history enables Roger to put forward a history of the blocksize wars that is simply not true. In addition, Roger has a checkered past, reassuring people that their coins were safe on Gox and endorsing scammers like Craig Wright. Bitcoin was never hijacked. Bitcoin cannot be hijacked, because it is a globally di ..read more

Please help to support this channel's work: https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/join In this video, I answer more questions related to BlackRock and Bitcoin, including attacks on Bitcoin mining, node operator consensus, and exerting control over ASIC manufacturers. I conclude that there is no way for BlackRock to take control of Bitcoin. I finish the video discussing easy ways to profit from a Bitcoin hard fork, whether done by BlackRock or another hostile actor (like Roger Ver did with BCH). Not investment advice!

Fortunately, because Bitcoin runs on a proof of work consensus mechanism, owning more BTC does not give anyone more power over the protocol-- not even BlackRock. Not investment advice!

Get advanced Bitcoin education here: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I examine common misconceptions about Bitcoin, by discussing the points raised in a thread by two people who are discussing Bitcoin hitting $100,000. I discuss whether Bitcoin is in a bubble, whether Bitcoin should be backed by gold or something else, and I also discuss how it is impossible "to miss the boat" when it comes to the opportunity to move your savings from a weak currency to a structurally stronger currency. I also compare Bitcoin ("the money protocol") to internet protocols like TCP/IP, which ..read more

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I discuss whether Satoshi Nakamoto's "Genesis Wallet" is close to being breached, with the result that over 1 million BTC will be stolen and dumped on the market. My conclusion is that this particular "news item" is the result of a trolling post about Kentucky fried chicken. BIP-39 wallets did not even exist in Satoshi's active years.
