An excerpt taken from our member live stream. I was asked about money as a belief system and I laid out my argument for why that's incorrect. Through out the 90 min live stream I was asked repeatedly about it, so I cut them all out and posted here. Please support our content by becoming a member on Patreon.

This week I go in depth on the Bitcoin price and the way in which the price is set. Many people disparage technical analysis and chart reading, but they also support other psychological measures.

Hit me back with fe...

What a great week for Bitcoin. Congress grills Libra and talks bitcoin. Price is strong, but with a bit of downside risk. Altcoins continue to decouple, as they can't keep up with bitcoin. As time goes on, the silly narrative that bitcoin is used for illicit exchange is going to explode in their faces. On the macro side, the price of oil is dropping, so queue Iran FUD. It all comes down to the Fed...
