Your money is vulnerable. 

It’s tied to institutions even more prone to disaster than that aging wallet you keep losing.

But what if you could make your money invulnerable?

And you don’t even need rounds of genetic splicing or an adamantium skeleton to do it.

Come with us. We have such sights to show you.

Crypto is complicated enough without having to stress about the safety and security of your assets.

Your average browser wallet is vulnerable to countless hacks, and your average crypto exchange is vulnerable to countless sleazy CEOs. That’s why we always advocate using a cold wallet.

Cold wallets provide an added layer of security so your crypto can’t be easily removed from your wallet. That’s why we use Trezor wallets. Trezor is the industry leading hardware wallet and it’s both safe and easy to use.

Trezor wallets will help you protect your assets and unlike other companies… they can’t access or share your secure keys.

So stop stressing about security and check out the Trezor Model T and the Model One today to secure your hard-earned crypto.

☕️ Binance Transfers Users to Dutch Competitor 🪙 🇳🇱

As Binance slinks its way out of the Netherlands after failing to secure regulatory approval, the exchange will be transferring its customers to its Dutch rival, Coinmerce.

In addition to Binance’s failure to secure a license, Binance was also hit with a $3.4 million fine for servicing Dutch customers without the required registration.

Now, those customers will go to Coinmerce, a Dutch crypto exchange based in Schiphol. Schiphol literally translates to “ship hole” for the many boats lost to the region’s lake.

Ironically, many departing Binance employees remarked that “the place was a [ship] hole anyway.”

☕️ “Threads” Goes Live 🧵 ✨

Meta has launched “Threads” — its alleged Twitter-killer.

Threads is a text-based social media platform, much like Twitter, but it’s connected to users’ Instagram accounts.

This connection aims to combat one of the biggest detractors of adopting a new social media platform: having to start your account from scratch.

But many Twitter users remain unimpressed. Twitter’s CEO Linda Yaccarino even took to her platform to tweet in vague reference to the development.

There have been more than 30 million signups on Threads since its launch on June 29.

However, these brave pioneers are a little unsure of how to comport themselves, and the sentiment seems to be that this may be more of an experiment than a true Twitter-killer.

For the time being, Threads seems to be a little… bare.

☕️ Heat Your Home With Bitcoin Mining ⛏ 🏡

If any longtime readers recall the Brooklyn spa that kept its tubs warm with Bitcoin, well, it seems the Bitcoin heating fad has gone domestic.

Independent Bitcoin miners are finding new uses for the process’s excess heat, namely, heating their homes.

And companies are being built around this pragmatic and environmental solution.

For example, Heatbit and Bit-Heater both offer solutions to Bitcoin miners looking to cut heating costs. “Earn Passive Income while heating and purifying your home,” reads the copy on the Heatbit homepage.

It’s certainly a welcome alternative to my father’s method of keeping our family warm during the winter, which involved a horrifying combination of wool sweaters and beer farts.

5 Ways Bitcoin Can Make You Invincible 🦾 🤖

Since the days of ancient Greece, man has been fascinated with invincibility.

There was Achilles, whose mother dipped him in the river Styx except for that one crucial part of his foot that arrows seemed to love.

Millennia later, another figure would emerge in humanity’s mythos, one much faster and stronger than Achilles.

Superman, or “Kal-El;” the last son of Krypton, who can fly faster than a speeding train, bounce bullets off his chest, and leap tall buildings in a single bound.

But what do these men have in common? They were invulnerable. Well, not quite invulnerable. But really really hard to kill.

When it comes to your portfolio, Bitcoin is the closest thing to having Superman in your starting lineup.

And why? Well, it comes down to five, simple points and we’ll break them down for you right now.

1. Deflationary Hedge

Bitcoin is inflation-proof. It has already developed a well-earned reputation as both a deflationary and recession hedge, like gold or diamonds.

Because Bitcoin has a fixed amount and the supply and demand are well-maintained by the Bitcoin halving every four years, Bitcoin will never weaken like a fiat currency, where the government can simply print more.

2. International

Bitcoin is a coin with no nation, which is exactly how you want your finances to be.

If your finances are tied to a single fiat currency or nation’s stock market, then you’re leaving yourself vulnerable to the follies of big government.

You may not decide to start that war or sign that trade tariff, but your finances will certainly feel the sting of that government’s decisions.

With crypto’s cross-border payments, why let import/exports have all the fun?

3. Decentralized

This is the very ethos behind DeFi. Even among the many varieties of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is the most decentralized. It’s not tied to any exchange, has no spokesperson, and we don’t even know who created it. Not with certainty.

4. Intangible

No matter how much merch people try to sell, you’re not going to find a physical Bitcoin anywhere in the world.

Much like freedom or autonomy, Bitcoin can never truly be denied or criminalized. It’s as accessible as the internet.

As Sophocles first said (later popularized by that white mask guy from “V for Vendetta”): “You can kill a man, but you can’t kill an idea.”

5. Bitcoin broke the Banks

After years of criticism and negative press, the giants of old finance realized that Bitcoin is an unavoidable certainty.

That’s why they’re pouring all of their money and attention into Bitcoin in the forms of Bitcoin ETF applications and EDX Markets, a Bitcoin-focused exchange backed by Wall Street giants such as Schwab, Citadel, and Fidelity.

They realize that Bitcoin is the future, and you should too.

So, whether you’ve already gone all-in and are currently holding Bitcoin, or you’ve been hesitantly speculating, waiting for just the right time to buy, take this as your sign.

Bitcoin isn’t just invincible, it’s inevitable.

Meme of the Day

It’s the superior money, plain and simple. 😎

Crypto 101

Cross-border Payments: Because crypto is inherently borderless, transactions aren’t limited to geographical regions.

You can send crypto from New York to someone in Tokyo through a P2P (person-to-person) blockchain transaction.

That means no international banks or unwieldy intermediaries. Say goodbye to wire fees and hello to international, digital freedom.

The Last Sip

The Last Sip: In addition to Achilles and Superman, here are some of the most powerful, invulnerable entities of all time.

3. Jesus. You just can’t kill this guy. Though, yeah, he doesn’t have the martial prowess of Achilles or Superman, a three-day respawn rate is a pretty handy tool to have in your back pocket.

2. The Indefatigable Human Spirit. Wars. Famine. Global Warming. There’s always going to be a kindly peasant woman giving somebody eggs.

1. 50 Cent. This rapper was shot nine times at close range in the year 2000. Three years later he released “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” featuring his hit single “In Da Club.” Clearly, 50 Cent (or Curtis Jackson to his friends) is more powerful than Achilles, or even Jesus.
