Who was the Welsh guy who threw away $200 million of Bitcoin?

My aim with each blog post is to help you move to a better financial future. I believe that there is not enough financial education in the national curriculum and I intend to share anything helpful that I have learned along the way. I am by no means a financial expert. None of the information on this website constitutes financial advice and is provided as general information only. This is my personal finance blog; my marketing blog is over here and I have been blogging there since 2010. I hope you have found this information useful. Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Mike

Nayib Bukele and Bitcoin

This is the story of Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador. In 2021, as one of Bukele’s intiatives, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Bukele gave citizens of El Salvador $30 worth of Bitcoin that they could spend via the Chiva App and Chiva wallets. Restaurants and shops were instructed to accept payments in Bitcoin. In an extremely bold and courageous move for a political leader Bukele started using the country’s money to invest directly in Bitcoin in the hope of making a profit. He received considerable criticism from around the world for doing so but at the time of writing (December 2023) this has proven to be a successful move.

Please watch the video to discover the full story of Nayib Bukele’s investment in Bitcoin. After you have watched the video, please let me know your thoughts in the comments under this post or under the video on YouTube.

Will Mount Gox Change the Price of Bitcoin?

This post may contain affiliate links please read our disclosure for more info. This video was first published on my YouTube channel; you can subscribe to my channel here http://bit.ly/1BuKsoM

Mount Gox (Mt.Gox)

This is the story of Mount Gox, one of the earliest Cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Mount Gox was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 2010 by Mark Karpelès and at one stage it was handling 80% of all worldwide Bitcoin transactions. Unfortunately in 2014 Mount Gox was forced to close its website down because it had been hacked and 800,000 Bitcoins had been stolen.

However, after a protracted legal battle with Japanese authorities that lasted nine years and many attempts to recover Bitcoins on behalf of his customers Karpelès is now able to offer 10,000 Mount Gox customers a refund in Bitcoin. As you imagine Bitcoin has increased in price a lot since 2014.

Please watch the video to discover the full story and the likely impact that Mount Gox refunds will have on the price of Bitcoin.

Is crypto a Hedge against Inflation?

This post may contain affiliate links please read our disclosure for more info. This video was first published on my YouTube channel; you can subscribe to my channel here http://bit.ly/1BuKsoM

Inflation

Inflation is the rate at which the purchasing power of the money you hold decreases over time. In this context a hedge is a protection against or a way to avoid the impact of inflation on your money.

In this video, I explain the effects of inflation on the money that you hold and assess the levels of interest being offered to savers by banks and building societies in the UK. I then compare these interest rates with possible returns from investing in Crypto assets and give my opinion about whether Crypto is a hedge against inflation. This does not constitute financial advice.
