This is a collection of topics you might find interesting. I’ll add more periodically as I’m focusing on publishing my book before I add a lot more here. Only read what catches your eye. Life is too short to waste time on something you're not interested in.

The Bitcoin White Paper

By: Satoshi Nakamoto

This is the original thesis written by the creator of Bitcoin on October 31, 2008. It explains the structure of Bitcoin. It’s only 9 pages so a very easy read. If your learning about Bitcoin, it’s best to start from the beginning!

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

March 6, 2025 the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve was issued to store their bitcoin in the US Federal Reserve to treat Bitcoin the same as gold. The order authorizes the Secretary of Treasury and Commerce to develop budget-neutral strategies to for acquiring additional bitcoin without imposing costs on American Tax Payers.

The Bitcoin Bond Treasury Proposal

Following the creation of the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve on March 6, 2025 this is the leading proposal for the US to issue 2 Trillion Dollars in US bonds backed by bitcoin. The genius of this proposal is it forces the next administration to not change the current Bitcoin bill where the US cannot sell their bitcoins as the bond contract specifies the purchasers benefit from the security of the bond and capital gains free growth, but also get 50% of the upside potential after the guaranteed 4.5% growth. This proposal would take 2 years for full adoption where the US Treasury would buy 200 billon dollars of bitcoin (approx. 2.2 million bitcoins @ $90,000/coin). Since only 10% of the funds raised to issue the bonds buys bitcoin, it also raises more capital to reduce the burden from the largest federal debt rollover in the history of the US over the next 3 years (14 trillion dollars). This proposal is worth a read as its a major chance for the US to maintain their world currency dominance, as China has been competing by rapidly increasing their stockpile of gold since 2008 to back the Yuan. If this proposal is adopted it could change the course of history and balance the US Federal budget for the first time since 2001.
