Bitcoin University's video: Did Satoshi Understand Store of Value

Get channel emojis and extra videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University/join In this video, I discuss whether Satoshi understood money's function as a "store of value." I also discuss the common critique that Bitcoin has failed as a medium of exchange. The monetary functions of "store of value" and "medium of exchange" are conjoined at the hip, and cannot be understood apart from one another. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor. Praxeologically, "medium of exchange" is defined by the intention of acquiring a good for future exchange rather than when it is spent: https://x.com/bitstein/status/1697725561513349360 Early Satoshi post on Bitcoin and the problems with conventional currency: https://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source Satoshi's "grey metal" thought experiment: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583.msg11405 Satoshi/Malmi email exchange: https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/ I am not being paid or otherwise compensated by any company or cryptocurrency project that I mention in my videos.
