Who Gets Rich First? The €300K Lesson I Learned in 2017

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]If you understand who gets rich first when new money enters the system, the next decade is going to look completely different and most people will not be able to connect these dots. And that's why I'm making this video today.

[00:00:17]Good morning, good afternoon, good evening guys, wherever you are, beautiful world whenever you're watching this video. Welcome to the Bitcoin family channel. For the newcomers, my name is Di. In today's video, guys, one deep core lesson about the Contilion effect, four epic family first charts that you really need to see, and of course, an inspirational quote. Let's jump into it right away, guys. Bam. And yes, guys, today is one of the durable ones. Not news for today, not the price of today, but something that will teach you a lesson every time, again, and again, this will age well, guys. You all know that in 2013, I started with mining bitcoins, guys. So from 2013 all the way 2014, 15, 16, I kept of course reading about Bitcoin and I saw a lot of people talking about Bitcoin on many different forums, many different websites, even some YouTube channels that at that time already guys. And the one thing that I saw every time again again is a difference between the community, a huge part of the community, the peaceful anarchists that want to overthrow their financial system, they were going all in Bitcoin. They didn't need permission.

[00:01:26]They didn't need to wait for governments to tell them now it's legal to buy Bitcoin. They just went for it. the smaller part but still big like let's say 30% was always waiting for clarity.

[00:01:41]Let's wait till the governments and the banks tell us yeah that it's not a multi-level marketing scam. Let's wait for those people that we don't trust to tell us that we should trust them that then Bitcoin would be fine to buy. Now I was of course in the 70% camp. That's the real Bitcoiners at that time. It was not that many but still it was I think 70%. Let's say 60 to 70% guys. Now in 2017 you all know that I made a decision to go all in. Go all into Bitcoin. Now the reason for this was not to get filthy rich. The reason for this was all the lessons I learned being an entrepreneur in the Netherlands. Paying taxes, asking for permission, all of that. When I understood that Bitcoin was not at all about asking permission, that Bitcoin was disconnecting money from the state, that was the moment when something snapped in my brain and said, "Hey, wait. So, this is going to be the future. That fiat system is going to be the past. I want to be part of that future where I don't need to ask for permission, where I don't need to wait for any clarity by a bank or a government, any clarity act that's now so trendy in Twitter. [ __ ] the Clarity Act. What do we need the Clarity Act for? Bitcoin doesn't need a Clarity Act.

[00:03:05]Bitcoin is Bitcoin. The Clarity Act is for the bankers or the wankers or however you want to call them. That's the Clarity Act. It's for the people with the suits. For the people that Bitcoin was invented against, those people need the Clarity Act. Real Bitcoiners don't need any clarity because everything is very clear.

[00:03:25]There's only 21 million Bitcoin. It is the most scarce asset of the world and you need to stack assets as much as possible before those banks do. But of course, they made you afraid in the last decade. Bitcoin is a scam. Bitcoin is illegal. you can't use Bitcoin. During that period, they were stacking their bags. And watch all my old videos. I've been showing you that those banks, those governments were accumulating, confiscating, and doing everything they could to accumulate more Bitcoin. And why? Because they knew there were would be a clarity act. But before the clarity act went live, they already bought. They made you afraid. They filled their bags.

[00:04:05]The big people kept filling and filling and filling while you kept selling each and every top and selling probably also each and every bottom. That's the difference. You need to get the Bitcoin mindset. Understand Bitcoin score fundamentals and you will never wait for permission ever again. Because if I look back then these few things are very important. I I learned them the hard way. The people's closer to the money printer, they will always win. everyone else will pay the inflation tax.

[00:04:36]Institutions don't wait for clarity.

[00:04:38]They create it after they have already positioned themselves into the market.

[00:04:42]And by the time it all feels safe, the asymmetry is gone and you will be left behind. But I'm going to show you this very clear on these four amazing charts.

[00:04:52]Let's jump into the charts now. Bam.

[00:04:56]The first chart for today, guys, important chart. Look, our family's net worth. Fiat versus Bitcoin. Same house, same family. Two complete different outcomes. Guys, we're calculating the last 8 years since we went all in 2017 till 2025.

[00:05:13]If we would have put that euros on the bank account at 300K at that moment and the house would be now 400k value, we could not buy back the house. If you would have kept the house a value of 300K at 2017 and kept that same house, we would now be up 33% in 8 years. The house would now be worth 400K.

[00:05:38]So this is a very beautiful example, maybe even 450K, you know, on how we could be up 33 to 50% in those eight years.

[00:05:50]Now if we now calculate the different path, the bitcoin path, the bitcoins needed to buy that house in 2017 was 100 bitcoin.

[00:06:00]Today buying back that house is around four bitcoin. Let's make it five as we are down below 100k. So we're down 96% in 8 years in bitcoins purchasing power.

[00:06:14]So we need to use less bitcoin to be able to buy back the house. 96%.

[00:06:21]So it's the same house in the same location, eight years difference, same family goals, two pass, two results, one choice. 2017K, now we would have a value of 4K. The fiat result, yes, 100,000 increase, 33% more euro, but of course because of the inflation, buying less. Now if you look at Bitcoin 27100 Bitcoin, now we buy it back for four Bitcoin. The Bitcoin result is 96% less Bitcoin needed to buy this.

[00:06:55]So please understand the purchasing power in Bitcoin increased tremendously while the purchasing power in euros because of staying the house would have been devastating just 100k the canillion effect rewards those closest to the printer. We chose a system that has no printer. That is what you need to understand. But I'm going to show you this a little bit more clear with some other charts, guys. Here, this one. This is the Canellian effect explaining to you what happens when new money gets printed.

[00:07:29]Now, let me put my face on the right place again. I'll put my face in the title. It can tell in effect who gets the money first, guys. Let's go and check that. Now, every time the same thing happens, the printer starts to print money. Over here you can see this is a printing cycle. Then that first part of the money is spent at the top.

[00:07:50]Then all the institution will get like banks, institutions get access to very cheap credit.

[00:07:57]Then it reaches the public. By the time it reaches the public, the prices already are up. We have an inflation and a crash. The purchasing power is destroyed. The cycle will repeat. So the money that's being printed out thin air, 1% goes to the closest to the printer.

[00:08:16]They create money, they set the rules, they bill out their friends, they socialize losses, and they privatize gains. That's what's happening in this one over there, the central banks and the governments.

[00:08:28]Then their friends get money 10% next closest to the printer. It's the banks and the institutions. They get access cheap money. They buy stocks and real estate. They frontr run inflation and they stack Bitcoin early. They buy before the crowd.

[00:08:46]And then your turn. That's 90% of the population that's farthest from the printer. The wages lag inflation. Prices already are higher. Forced into risk assets laid by stops and panics. Last to receive, first to suffer.

[00:09:05]This is how it works. The fiat system is invisible, unfair transfer of wealth.

[00:09:10]You print more, you inflate depth, you reward leverage, punish savings, and wealth flows to the top. We choose the Bitcoin system. Transparent, fair, and hard money. Fixed supply, no insider printer, transparent rules, rewards, patience, and everybody buys the same market. The fiat is a hidden tax system.

[00:09:32]Inflation isn't an accident. It's a wealth transfer.

[00:09:36]The Bitcoin system is designed to keep you busy earning, not building wealth.

[00:09:44]Institutions, they have stacked Bitcoin early and retail is often buying the top because of fear. Institutions buy the fear. Retail buys the narrative. Please understand this chart. Pause this video and analyze the whole chart if you want.

[00:10:01]There my face is away. You can make a screenshot now. And let's go into the next one. This one is about the monetary supply and the printing and expansion of that monetary supply. Guys, please understand the money printer has been full power running for a long time guys.

[00:10:20]For a long time now let me take a look.

[00:10:24]If you look since 1971 the money dollars same goods but less purchasing power. 71 Nixon closes the gold window. End of the Breton Woods fiat money unchained. The printing press goes. That's what they say. That's when we lost the gold standard. So the money supply since that moment over there, at that moment it was 1 trillion in 1971. 1 trillion of money supply.

[00:10:52]At the moment we are talking 21 trillion.

[00:10:56]21 times more supply than 1971.

[00:11:02]21 times more dollars chasing the same goods. Inflation can be and is the only result. Here we stopped the gold standard. That is when in the 80s the money supply start to accelerate. Easy credit expansion in the 2000s. 2008 quantitive easing begins. Pandemic printing in 2020 2024 depth up money up.

[00:11:26]More money doesn't make you richer.

[00:11:28]Early your ex does. The cantillian effect, the people closest to the printer benefit first.

[00:11:36]Bitcoin is different, guys. No central bank, a fixed supply of 21 million, a fixed supply of 21 million, no central bank, no money printing, no canilian pyramid. Everyone gets the same issuance schedule.

[00:11:51]Please, predictable, transparent, trustless, immutable. Two systems, two outcomes. Fiat inflationary by design.

[00:11:59]More money supply unlimited purchasing power always declining benefits early insiders result you work day print the Bitcoin system sound money by design guys supply fixed 21 million purchasing power long long time long-term rising access full equal for all guys and the results you save you win Bitcoin has a fixed supply and an unleashed potential fiat has a infinite supply infinite debasement. Guys, please understand these differences. Very important lesson today, guys. If you want to screenshot it, screenshot it over there. Bam. Now, one more chart over here. This one, the dollar collapsed since 1971.

[00:12:46]Please understand what this means. This means that the purchasing power of the dollar has decreased tremendously. $1 became 15 cents.

[00:12:59]$1 purchasing power in 1971 buys you now worth of 15 cents today.

[00:13:06]This is because that gold window closed because there was no supply fixed to gold anymore. This is when the fiat era began with printing.

[00:13:18]$1 1971 buys what 15 cents buys today, guys. That's a 85% loss of purchasing power.

[00:13:26]85% loss of purchasing power in 50 years of quiet theft.

[00:13:34]They keep printing more. They keep inflating debt away. They punish savers.

[00:13:38]They reward insiders and the hidden tax through the inflation. Bitcoin is the opposite. I will keep repeating it. Fix supply, transparent rules, rewards patients, no central authority, hard money for the world. Please understand this difference. the Bitcoin supply moves like this 21 million in the end in a year of 2140.

[00:14:02]So why your money keeps losing value is very simple not because you spend it but because the people closest to the printer spend it first and you will pay the tap through inflation. Central banks create money, new money and system into financial markets and governments first.

[00:14:20]Then the assets prices will rise, stocks, real estate, bonds, commodities and by the time it reaches you, the prices are already higher. You lose purchasing power sly, steadily, relentlessly.

[00:14:34]So please understand this left bottom part.

[00:14:38]You are paid last. The printer spent first. you pay last. Inflation is not an accident. Is a wealth transfer. You're handing over your wealth to decentralized entities like governments and central banks. And that was the last chart, guys.

[00:14:56]If you did learn something from these charts, guys, and of course, give us a follow and maybe even subscribe or hit that bell so you'll be notified every time when I create this new content, guys. Now, what leads me to the next part of the video, guys. First, some more coffee. Wow, it's really early.

[00:15:11]How do you drink your coffee? Let me know down below. The cantellion effect, guys, is invisible until you see it. For the people that don't know what the canilian effect is, this means when money is being printed out of thin air, just new fake money, it is never being distributed evenly. Probably the rich and the big companies get most part of it and a little part will go to the normal people. You know, that's how it works in every kingdom. That's also how it works nowadays. But now they are a little bit more smart to cover it all up and call something like inflation or deflation. Depends on which country you're living. But that's the cantellion effect. Not evenly distributed. You're less worthy, he's more worthy. That's the real hardcore truth. And that effect is invisible until you see it. Then it's everywhere. Institution don't wait for clarity. They position first and then clarity will follow. Guys, now you can do exactly the same thing. You need to zoom out on the charts and you need to zoom in on life. That is how you lose the short-term focus and understand the long-term plan behind Bitcoin.

[00:16:19]That is what you need to understand. And this leads to this very special quote.

[00:16:23]It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system. for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. Henry Ford, guys, did you understand what I just say? If not, skip 10 seconds back and listen to it again because Henry Ford saw this already a century ago. The system works because most people never ask who benefits first. The Canillian effect isn't a bug. It is a complete design to keep you poor and to enrich the top layer of society. That is what the Canarian effect does. And that is why this powerful quote by Henry Ford is such a powerful quote. If people would really know how the system works, banking and monetary, there will be a revolution before tomorrow morning. And now the most important part, Bitcoin opts completely out of that design.

[00:17:22]Completely. Bitcoin is your escape from that cantilian effect. Bitcoin is your escape from the state. Disconnecting your financial situation from the state without ever having to ask permission again. That is Bitcoin, your tool to opt out. And yes, people keep asking me, how did your family actually frontr run that system? What did you do in 2017 that let you opt out before it was too late? We have put the whole blueprint that we have created out of the experience since 2016 all in in Bitcoin, traveling unbanked for almost 10 years now, all over the world, 44 countries. We have created that blueprint as a family, guys. And you can get that blueprint for free if you just comment freedom down below this video. We will send you a DM with that free blueprint directly today, guys. And if you want to see two more epic videos, there's really a good pair to today's video. It's these two videos.

[00:18:23]Of course, one is about the Bitcoin price, but the other one tells you even more simple what the world looks like if you would take one or two different steps. Now, let's go.
