We also discuss why the financialization of Bitcoin — using it as collateral rather than selling it — represents the next major wave of adoption, and how People's Reserve is building the financial tools to make that possible through Bitcoin-powered mortgages and collateralized sound money obligations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>0:00 CJ's Bitcoin Journey</p><p>4:42 CrowdHealth Sponsorship</p><p>5:55 Mangrove Sponsorship</p><p>6:43 How Bitcoin Mining Predicts Bitcoin's Future Price</p><p>1
