I'm joined by Tuur Demeester from Adamant Capital. We discuss investment strategies for accumulating BTC and generating returns against BTC (instead of USD). 

While most investment strategies focus on generating returns in US Dollars, Tuur focuses on generating returns in BTC. He measures his success against Bitcoin, which over the course of Bitcoin's short history, is a much higher bar for an investor. There is a growing number of crypto fund limited partners looking for funds denominated in BTC, and which charge fees based on returns in BTC.

Our deep dive into investing for Bitcoin accumulation will be covered in two parts and split into four chapters:

- Chapter 1: Why one would invest to accumulate BTC vs. USD- Chapter 2: How Bitcoin accumulation investment methods differ from methods for generating returns against the US Dollar- Chapter 3: The methods of investing for Bitcoin accumulation - Chapter 4: Tuur’s unfiltered thoughts on Ethereum and his take on the future of Bitcoin In today’s episode, we focus on Chapters 1 and 2. In this episode we discuss:

  • How Tuur got involved in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community
  • Tuur’s explorations around freedom, sovereignty, and location independence 
  • Why Tuur prefers living in the United States (for now)
  • How Bitcoin enhances mobility
  • The philosophical case for investing for Bitcoin accumulation
  • The tax advantages to denominating in BTC
  • Why diversification matters
  • Proof of stake
  • How investing for Bitcoin accumulation is different than investing for USD accumulation
