  Taking Care of Bitcoin with Gabriel Bloyd

  Aug 10, 20261h 10m

  Bitcoin, Debasement, and Self-Custody: A Newcomer Conversation with Gabriel Bloyd TCB speaks with Bitcoin newcomer Gabriel Bloyd, a married father of four who first heard about crypto in 2014–2015 from a high-school friend. Bloyd asks how Bitcoin’s easy cross-border transfer and fixed supply affect governments, taxation, and a dollar he sees as losing value. The host argues U.S. monetary debasement is inevitable due to compounding debt and deficits, claims the dollar has lost over 99% of its value since 1913, and frames Bitcoin as a jurisdiction-less, uncensorable asset that enables capital to “exit,” forcing governments into competition. They discuss Bitcoin’s volatility versus long-term trends, dollar-cost averaging, and why timing trades fails. The host recommends learning before investing, experimenting with small transactions, and explains custodial exchanges versus self-custody, suggesting Strike and the Muun wallet, plus books like Economics in One Lesson, The Price of Tomorrow, and The Bitcoin Standard. 00:00 Copy of cloudRecording_FullConference_Take_1 00:23 Introduction & Guest Background 02:07 First Impressions of Bitcoin 05:04 Bitcoin Questions Begin 08:15 Dollar Debasement & Monetary Policy 15:43 Bitcoin Volatility & Risk 34:06 How to Get Started with Bitcoin 45:21 Recommended Apps & Wallets 01:04:12 Book Recommendations & Wrap-Up X: @TCBcoin https://x.com/TCBcoin Instagram: @TCBcoin https://www.instagram.com/tcbcoin/ www.takingcareofbitcoin.com https://www.takingcareofbitcoin.com/

  Taking Care of Bitcoin with David Biles

  Jul 17, 202658 min

  Taking Care of Bitcoin with David Biles! Housing, Inflation, and Sound Money TCB talks with David Biles, who says he’s new to economics but thinks deeply about money, housing, and broader impacts. They discuss why housing has been treated as an appreciating asset and connect rising prices across industries to currency debasement from ongoing money printing tied to U.S. debt and deficits. The host explains Bitcoin’s origin after the 2008 crisis, its fixed 21 million supply enforced by decentralized consensus, and why users are disincentivized from changing issuance. They cover Bitcoin’s volatility as a global price-discovery process, its competition with store-of-value assets like gold, bonds, real estate, and currencies, and potential upside if it captures parts of that market. They also discuss divisibility into satoshis, payments via the Lightning Network, merchant fee savings versus Visa, Square/Block enabling adoption, global usage, and Bitcoin’s benefits for censorship resistance and portability. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:38 Housing as Money Debate 02:24 First Bitcoin Memories 03:23 Why Bitcoin Exists 08:45 Fiat Printing and Inflation 12:50 What Gives Bitcoin Value 15:25 Bitcoin as Engineered Money 18:24 Bitcoin Upside and TAM 23:51 Divisibility and Layer Twos 26:12 Lightning Payments in Practice 28:08 Cutting Out Visa Fees 29:59 Small Business Payments 30:38 Lightning QR Demo 31:57 Banks Fight Back 34:18 Protocols Don’t Replace 37:13 Inflation Steals Time 42:48 Bitcoin Everywhere Now 45:35 Programmable Money Fears 49:06 Escape With Your Wealth 52:07 Fix the Math Problem 54:53 Wrap Up and Plugs Check out David on TikTok @aviddn and YouTube @ttv.aviddn X: @TCBcoin https://x.com/TCBcoin Instagram: @TCBcoin https://www.instagram.com/tcbcoin/ www.takingcareofbitcoin.com https://www.takingcareofbitcoin.com/

  TCB Short - Isn't Volatility a Problem for Bitcoin?

  Jul 14, 202614 min

  Today we answer the question: Isn't Volatility a Problem for Bitcoin? Is Bitcoin Volatility a Problem—or Proof It’s Still Monetizing? TCB argues that Bitcoin’s volatility is not evidence it is failing as money, but evidence it is still monetizing through global price discovery. Comparing Bitcoin to mature systems like the U.S. dollar is framed as like comparing a startup to a Fortune 500 company; a better comparison is early-stage monetary goods such as gold or emerging national currencies. Bitcoin is described as naturally volatile because its supply is permanently fixed at 21 million, so price—not supply—must adjust to changes in demand, like a never-ending global auction. As adoption grows, liquidity deepens, and markets become more efficient, volatility should gradually decline, which the script says has broadly happened over Bitcoin cycles. It distinguishes short-term price stability from long-term purchasing power, suggests dollars may remain transactional money while Bitcoin serves as long-term savings, and outlines money’s progression from store of value to medium of exchange to unit of account. 00:00 Volatility Objection 01:04 Monetization In Progress 01:20 Volatile Compared To What 02:18 Fixed Supply Explained 03:13 Worlds Largest Auction 04:33 Price Discovery Over Time 05:14 Static Vs Dynamic Stability 06:50 Why Volatility Declines 07:53 Price Vs Purchasing Power 08:44 Different Jobs For Money 10:07 Three Stages Of Money 11:19 Volatility Reframed 13:02 Closing Thoughts X: @TCBcoin https://x.com/TCBcoin Instagram: @TCBcoin https://www.instagram.com/tcbcoin/ www.takingcareofbitcoin.com https://www.takingcareofbitcoin.com/

  TCB Short - Won't Bitcoin Fall into a Deflationary Spiral?

  Jun 23, 202616 min

  Today we answer the question: Won't Bitcoin Fall into a Deflationary Spiral? Will Bitcoin Trigger a Deflationary Spiral? Productivity, Inflation, and AI Abundance TCB addresses the objection that Bitcoin would cause a deflationary spiral by encouraging hoarding, arguing instead that deflation is often the natural result of free-market productivity gains. It distinguishes “bad deflation” from collapsing credit (e.g., debt crises) versus “good deflation” from innovation and efficiency, noting consumers still spend due to positive time preference. The speaker claims inflation and monetary expansion prevent consumers—especially the working class—from fully receiving productivity benefits, shifting gains toward early recipients of new money via the Cantillon effect. With AI potentially becoming a major deflationary force by automating cognition and driving near-zero marginal costs, the debt-based system may face stress as prices fall faster than policymakers can inflate. Bitcoin is presented as fixed-supply “monetary ruler” that reveals abundance and enables purchasing power to rise, posing a choice between greater intervention/centralization and monetary realignment. 00:00 Bitcoin Deflation Fear 01:36 Deflation Spiral Explained 02:09 Good vs Bad Deflation 03:46 Why People Still Spend 04:56 Hidden Cost of Inflation 05:55 Cantillon Effect Inequality 07:57 AI as Deflation Engine 09:41 Debt System Under Stress 11:37 Bitcoin as Honest Ruler 12:23 2050 Abundance Thought Experiment 13:06 Answering the Spiral Question 13:52 Monetary Realignment Choice 15:27 Closing Takeaways X: @TCBcoin https://x.com/TCBcoin Instagram: @TCBcoin https://www.instagram.com/tcbcoin/ www.takingcareofbitcoin.com https://www.takingcareofbitcoin.com/

  Taking Care of Bitcoin with Cale McQuitty

  Jun 18, 20261h 13m

  Bitcoin, AI, and the Future of Money with Cale McQuitty TCB talks to Cale McQuitty, a Houston-based fabrication company co-owner who has pivoted into data centers, about how he first encountered Bitcoin, moved past “get rich quick” impressions, and came to see it as a mix of money, technology, and a network. They discuss institutional and nation-state involvement (including ETFs and a U.S. Bitcoin reserve holding confiscated BTC), Bitcoin’s roles as store of value and settlement layer, and how AI could be deflationary while debt-driven fiat systems require inflation. They explore risks such as government crackdowns and quantum computing, arguing Bitcoin is highly secure and adaptable. They also cover mining’s difficulty adjustment, hash rate impacts from AI/data centers, grid “buyer of last resort” dynamics, merchant adoption, and the idea that Bitcoin adoption happens “gradually, then suddenly.” 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:43 Cale Background in Fabrication 01:33 First Bitcoin Encounter 02:06 Conviction Through Volatility 03:48 Institutions and Nation States 05:57 What Bitcoin Really Is 10:23 Network Effects and Mycelium 12:09 AI Hype vs Bitcoin Cycles 15:07 AI Deflation Meets Debt System 18:08 Housing Leverage and Job Disruption 20:43 AI Agents Using Bitcoin 24:33 Bitcoin as Truth Ledger 26:19 Risks Government and Quantum 35:27 Quantum Threat Beyond Bitcoin 35:46 Nation States And IMF Pressure 39:18 Hidden Mining And First Mover Race 41:26 AI Data Centers Versus Hashrate 42:29 Difficulty Adjustment And Grid Flex 47:06 Stranded Energy And Hybrid Builds 48:32 Small Business Bitcoin Strategy 52:46 When Bitcoin Becomes Money 56:41 Gradually Then Suddenly Adoption 59:05 Why People Still Dont Get It 01:06:05 If Bitcoin Went To Zero 01:09:38 Peaceful Revolution And Closing X: @TCBcoin https://x.com/TCBcoin Instagram: @TCBcoin https://www.instagram.com/tcbcoin/ www.takingcareofbitcoin.com https://www.takingcareofbitcoin.com/
