E123 - BitPod | 3 Events To Impact Bitcoin's Price with Jarrett Carpenter May 20, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, Jarrett discusses three events that will impact Bitcoin price: the Bitcoin halving, the US election, and quantitative easing.The Bitcoin halving, which already occurred, will lead to a supply shock and eventually drive up the Bitcoin price. The US election, regardless of the outcome, is likely to create uncertainty and could result in a dip in Bitcoin price in the short-term. In the long-term, each candidate has different ideas about how to regulate and corral Bitcoin. Finally, quantitative easing, or money printing, is expected to occur in the spring of 2025 and could lead to inflation and a further increase in Bitcoin price. Understanding these events is crucial for understanding the future of Bitcoin's price discovery.

E119 - BitPod | My Bitcoin Price Predictions Til 2033 With Jarrett Carpenter Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

Bitcoin's growth over the next decade is so wild even posting this social media post that inspired this episode felt weird but here we are. We live in a world where fiat can be printed infinitely which, in theory, means that Bitcoin, a finite resource, could see its price appreciate at an astronomically rate as its adoption continues. This episode, like all MTB episodes, is NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. The reality is that no one knows where Bitcoin's price will go over the next decade and it will be interesting to see how closely it does or does not follow these price predictions.

E118 - BitPod | Digital Ownership Is Priceless with Jarrett Carpenter Mar 27, 2024

Show notes

Originally on this episode, I was going to share my thoughts and data on why owning 0.1 BTC will be the future of generational wealth. However, after seeing some infographics on Instagram from friends in Guatemala and Mexico, I decided to pivot and discuss the importance that digital ownership will likely play in the future of impoverished communitIes in the developing word who will be impacted by the climate crisis and therefore may need to move to find new opportunities.

Whether it's Bitcoin, crypto or NFTs -- owning blockchain backed assets provide the underbanked, unbanked and those on the economic fringes something that has always seen nearly impossible -- OWNERSHIP.

Show notes

As we get closer to the Bitcoin Halving, it's important to have both a 'Plan for Profits' and an understanding of the historical scams that have happened in crypto to be able to avoid them. Many people go into a new bull run without either of these present and it shows, as they'll more often than not never take any profits and are also susceptible to being swindled.
