An interview I recorded with the one and only Matty Sats earlier this week talking about bitcoin mining - what it is, what the myths are, who you should mine with - and who you shouldn't - and how I got started.

013: Why Bitcoin at $18k today is completely different to Bitcoin at $18k in 2017 Nov 23, 2020

We've been here before, haven't we? No, not even close, and here's why:
"If 2017 was an epic Ibiza style beach party full of inexperienced kids overdoing it to excess without a thought for any consequences, 2020 is a reserved corporate black tie affair, with a six course meal and jazz band."
Find out why this surge in Bitcoin price is something we haven't seen before and what might happen next ...

011: As Bitcoin’s Price Hits a New All Time High, What Happens Next? Oct 09, 2020

I was pretty surprised to discover Bitcoin had hit a new all time high this week, apparently entirely unnoticed. But the story took an unexpected turn when additional research revealed some mind blowing facts that, it seems, most of us hadn't spotted. Listen now for the full explanation.

009: The Microstrategy deal is even bigger than you think Sep 16, 2020

This episode was originally called "Microstrategy is to Bitcoin as Roger Bannister is to the four minute mile" being loosely based on an article I'd written recently, but as I went to record it there was a new development! It made sense to add it all in and discuss it in one go, so here's a slightly longer podcast than usual covering a very cool development in the Bitcoin world - and one that is likely to act as catalyst for what is to come.

008: The Case for Bitcoin in Your Portfolio Aug 19, 2020

A live recording of the presentation I gave at the TradeON Summit Conference on July 28th 2020 outlining the key reasons why you should have at least some Bitcoin in your portfolio as a long position, especially given the rapidly changing global financial situation.

Offer will end automatically when all redemptions are claimed. There is a written version of this podcast, loosely based on the same structure, here.
Instructions for downloading and setting up the app are here. You can claim additional Bitcoin for free by joining my mailing list, watching this webinar or buying my book, but please note that in all cases you need to be over 18 with ID and reside in the UK or Europe to claim.

007: My Neighbour, the Markets and What Happens Next Jul 11, 2020

How a chance (socially distanced) conversation with my neighbour got me thinking about what's going on behind the numbers. The markets imply that everything is rosy, but I have a different view. Here's my thinking about why any stock market investment right now should be done with extreme caution! (Not financial advice, do your own research)

003: Is now the time to invest back in the stock market? Apr 07, 2020

With the sell off of equities caused by Coronavirus, is now a good time to be getting back into the markets? Is that why they've been rising so much since the sell off? Is this even a good thing? Maybe, maybe not. Jason Deane tries to make sense of what is going on.

If you don't own any Bitcoin at all, time is running out to get hold of some cheaply and easily, especially with the next halving event due in May 2020.

001: Has Bitcoin just proved itself as the perfect store of value? Mar 21, 2020

Something unexpected just happened. As the global market meltdown caused by Coronavirus unfolded, Bitcoin found itself among the assets being sold off.

Jason Deane looks at the evidence.
