Most Bitcoiners Are Not Ready to be Wealthy

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Episode zero of the digital homestead. So, a pretty simple agenda today, just like this course. I want to make this course as simple as possible. I'm sure you've all heard this before. Kisss. Most people would say keep it simple, stupid, but I disagree. I say keep it stupid simple because again you can go down as many rabbit holes as you want. You could pay as much money as you want to but you got to keep it simple. And so everything that we talk about this course whether it's security, inheritance, privacy, sovereignty, earning more income, whatever it is, we're going to keep it as stupid simple as possible. That's the whole idea here. That's the whole concept.

[00:00:53]So, just like that, the agenda here is we're going to go through the the W's here. The who, the what, the where, the when, and the how. I guess the WHH, I should put.

[00:01:03]We're going to talk about the big six questions. So, six questions every Bitcoiner needs to ask themselves and then we're going to do some Q&A. So, I'm not going to be paying attention to the chat here as I go through this because I got to be dialed in here.

[00:01:22]But uh we're going to save some time for Q&A at the end. So if you have any questions about this course, if you have any questions about what we're talking about here or anything else, we'll go through it all after. And if you're watching this after, I'm going to have everything that I talk about in the pin comments below or you can shoot me an email to 88s proton.me if you have any specific questions. But other than that, we're going to get right to her here.

[00:01:47]Where is my email address? Right there.

[00:01:52]So, let's get to who who's this who's this course going to be for.

[00:01:59]I mean, the real obvious answer, and I'm actually going to put this in number two. The real obvious answer here is someone with a bunch of Bitcoin and limited knowledge.

[00:02:18]So, I think that this is again the most obvious one here. Somebody who's invested a lot into Bitcoin, allocated a lot of their capital and savings and livelihood into Bitcoin. That's who this is going to be for. But they don't really know what they're doing yet.

[00:02:32]Maybe it's on Coinbase, maybe it's on River, maybe it's in a Bitcoin ETF because they're kind of scared to take custody of it because they don't know what they're doing yet. So, this is going to be an eight-month course, right? It's not going to be a oneweek crash course. This is going to be a course with a very low time preference here.

[00:02:49]So, eight months, it's it's going to be constant repetition. It's going to be focusing on the the right things, the core of the issue, and building a solid foundation because again, you are you are a first generation Bitcoiner.

[00:03:05]And that's kind of what this whole course was inspired by. You are a first generation Bitcoiner. And so, it's kind of up to you. good or bad, blessing or curse, whatever you want to call it, it is up to you. So, this is kind of like the most obvious one here. I'd say somebody else who's just like considering considering a large allocation, maybe you've kind of dabbled and you have like zero knowledge of Bitcoin, this course is still going to be extremely beneficial to you.

[00:03:32]But the most important one here, this is this is who's you might not think would be taking this course or who should be taking this course, but it's actually someone who already has a decent setup, but losing a bit of sleep.

[00:03:52]Obviously, they got some significant allocation. They might have invested already into some security. Maybe they got a couple cold cards. Maybe they even got a multisig.

[00:04:02]Maybe they had somebody help them. They paid somebody thousands of dollars to help them set this up. They're running a node. I'm sure you know, you know, maybe what I'm talking about here. But you're still just not quite sure whether it's safe.

[00:04:16]You're just not quite sure if you're missing something here. And this is the most dangerous one here. This is why I put this one as number one, because this is the most dangerous one. the people who kind of think that they know everything, but they're in the back of their mind, they're like, "What am I missing here? I want to make sure that there's zero leaks. There's zero cracks in my foundation here." So, that that's who this is going to be for. The first generation Bitcoiners probably have a significant allocation. Um, the to the total cost of this course is is kind of laughable to me, but it's the first time we're doing it. So 2026, it's the pilot one. 2027 is probably going to be double, triple, or more to join this course.

[00:04:59]So the total the total cost of this is going to be le less than $200.

[00:05:07]Less than $200. It's $21 a month. It's going to go up after I don't know when. Sometime between today and next Tuesday, it's going to start going up. And every five members that join, we're going to keep bumping it up. But right now, you can join and it's going to be less than $200 because it's $21 a month and there are eight months left in the year.

[00:05:34]I'm pretty sure that's less than $200.

[00:05:36]Yeah, because 10 months would be $210.

[00:05:38]So, it's less than $200.

[00:05:41]And I'm going to I'm going to be talking about this probably several times, but I'm going to make sure that you don't missed this, but it's pretty simple to find. school.com/8h8.

[00:05:51]So again, we're going to be talking about who this is for, how we're going to do it, when it is, where it is, all this stuff. And then at the end of it, we're going to be going through a six-part six six questions here that everybody needs to be asking themselves.

[00:06:08]Everybody, I don't care who you are. I don't care how much Bitcoin you have. I don't know how much I don't care how much knowledge you have. You got to go through these six questions and be very honest with yourself. So that's what we're going to do right after this.

[00:06:21]So who that's who it is. That's who this is for. Not not for everybody, but kind of my general rule of thumb is a 5% allocation to your security.

[00:06:35]And the cool thing is like you do it once, right? This isn't like uh the traditional system where you pay like 2% a year or 1% a year, whatever it is.

[00:06:43]This is this is going to be like a one-time investment. That's what this course is. It's not an expense. It's an investment. But it should be you should be allocating at least 5% of your stack to your security. Otherwise, you're it's going to be worth nothing anyways. This kind of minimum 5%.

[00:07:02]So, with that in mind, I mean, if you got I don't know what the math is on that, but based on this, based on the course costing less than $200, then probably if you have more than $5,000 worth of Bitcoin, would it be? Yeah. Then this course is going to be for you.

[00:07:21]If you got less than that, go buy more Bitcoin.

[00:07:26]Go buy more Bitcoin. Come back next year.

[00:07:30]Okay. Okay. So, here it is. What is it?

[00:07:32]So, this is all the tangibles. I was thinking through this last night. What What's somebody going through this course going to get?

[00:07:38]Well, by the end of it, this is by December 31st, 2026. So, we got a very hard deadline on it all. But, you're going to have a multi-IG, which again, going back to what we've been talking about here in the show today, multiig where you have no single point of failure. That's kind of the key there. No single point of failure. So, you want to have your private keys, which is really the key to your Bitcoin. You want to have those geographically dispersed in different locations, physical locations. I think one of the biggest mistakes, one of the biggest mistakes that Bitcoiners have is they've bought one of these. They bought a cold card and this thing comes with this. And I love Coin Kite. I love the cold card.

[00:08:24]It's my most recommended device. But they send you this. They send you this wallet backup card here and most people are like, "Okay, well, I powered it on.

[00:08:32]I wrote down my words. I got my anti-ishing code words, whatever the hell that means, and I should be good to go."

[00:08:40]But that's really just the beginning of it. That's like the very first step. You haven't even got into the game yet. And the first thing that I would do, and I was going to save this for the course, but I figure it's probably a better idea right now. But the first thing I would do is this.

[00:08:56]get rid of this because the only time that I've ever seen anybody lose their Bitcoin is because they put their 12 words on this and they lost it.

[00:09:06]And this is a key to your Bitcoin here.

[00:09:08]So, if somebody's cleaning up your desk or you're cleaning up your desk and it actually falls in the trash or it gets water damaged or whatever it is, this is one of your keys to your Bitcoin.

[00:09:19]So, you want to put that on steel or something, right? But that's just like one component of it, too. even on steel, that's not going to save you. So, the biggest mistake that people make, and the reason why steel is not going to save you, is because those words, those 12 or 24 words are written in plain text, and that's one of your keys to your Bitcoin, which means that if somebody finds that piece of steel, even if it survives a fire somehow, somebody finds that piece of steel, they have your 12 words, they put it into a wallet, they send the Bitcoin to themselves, your Bitcoin's gone. So, you want to have this in one spot. You want to have your steel plate or your 12 words in a different spot. And you want to have a passphrase in a different spot. So, this is kind of what this this course is going to start with. Very simple, very simple triangle there. Obviously, we're going to get into a multi-IG later, but that's kind of like the first step for people is is getting away from that. And I I think that most Bitcoiners, that's the setup, right? And consider this, too. You got this and you got your 12 words in your house.

[00:10:22]What if there's a hurricane? What if there's a tornado? What if there's a fire fire? And this it's part of the six questions we're going to ask today. But you really want to get those keys away from your house. That's kind of like the the intangible part of this is you're going to have all your Bitcoin away from your house. You maybe keep like five five or 10% of it with you for multiple reasons, but the majority of it is going to be far away from your house. You want it difficult for you to access and therefore very difficult for anybody else to access, which is going to protect you against wrench attacks. It's going to protect you against social engineering attacks and mostly it's going to help you sleep better at night knowing that there's no single point of failure in your setup.

[00:11:07]If you only if you only knew how valuable what you're holding right now is, I think people would think a lot differently about this whole thing.

[00:11:16]So that's that's kind of like the the key to this and it's going to take some time. Maybe we spend a couple weeks on multisig, but we're going to build up to that. We're going to we're going to get things in place first and we're going to build up to the multisig. So you're also going to have an inheritance plan, too.

[00:11:31]Right off the hop, you're going to have a very basic inheritance plan where if something were to happen to you tomorrow, your family would be able to recover your Bitcoin. By the end of the course, we're going to have a more detailed, more in-depth, more robust inheritance plan. We're going to work up to that, too.

[00:11:47]So, you start with one very simply to make sure that if something were to unexpectedly happen to you, your family can recover it. Then, we're going to make it a little bit more robust by the end of the course, but we're going to work to it. You're going to have a full blueprint of where things are. Take inventory of where you are and where you want to go and then how to get there.

[00:12:08]You're going to have a bit Bitcoin cheat sheet that you can always refer back to.

[00:12:10]You can study it like it sits at the side of your bed every night. So, it's like 10 points and if you can do those 10 points properly, your Bitcoin is going to be much safer than 99% of everybody else.

[00:12:24]So, that's the Bitcoin cheat sheet. You also get into a private group chat, which I haven't really formally announced yet, but that's something we're going to be doing. So, all the students who are going through this course here are going to be in their own private group chat where they can ask questions with me. They can share ideas, they can share concerns, they can have discussions privately, encrypted conversations. So all the students who are going through this course, if they want to, they can be part of this group chat that we have on Signal.

[00:12:54]If you're somebody who's trying to learn, somebody who's just kind of getting started in Bitcoin, this community here on school, you're going to have unlimited Bitcoin content. You could probably watch content for the rest of the year and still have half of it to go. So, there's a ton.

[00:13:10]There's 365 videos from last year, 365 days of Bitcoin. There's 106, I believe, from this year. And there's other courses in there as well. So, there's about 500 videos altogether. So, if you're somebody who loves consuming Bitcoin content on a variety of topics, then you're going to have that included with this multiple streams of income. So again, kind of this course obviously we want to focus on the technical side of things.

[00:13:38]We want to make sure that you have a good understanding what you're holding, grow your conviction, grow your knowledge so you're you're much less emotional.

[00:13:46]But there's going to be other focuses too because you want to continue to add value to this world. That's what Bitcoin is. It's a store of value. It's one of its properties.

[00:13:55]So the key here is that you want to make sure that you have your Bitcoin stack and that number never goes down. that balance only goes up. So, you're never going to be forced to sell. You're never going to be in a situation where you need to liquidate your Bitcoin. You want to We're going to talk about techniques and strategies and tips. And actually, at the end of every episode here, this is kind of a bonus, but we're going to spend 30 minutes each session focused on this because this is important.

[00:14:25]If you don't have any value to store, then this isn't really relevant to you.

[00:14:29]So, you got your Bitcoin. You want that balance to go up and we're going to spend time whether you're thinking about leaving your job or you're looking for a couple side hustles. Whatever that is, we're going to spend 30 minutes each session talking about how you can do that. You want to become a Bitcoin educator, maybe tons of opportunity. I'd say there's more opportunity in that than anything else in the world right now. So, we're going to talk about that.

[00:14:52]How do you do it? What do you need? Some tips, some strategies, what works, what doesn't work. I've been doing this for three years now. I was a CPA before this as I'm sure most people know, but I've learned a lot. And kind of the whole value part of this course is I've gone through it. I've put in the time. I've spent the money. I've I've lost the sats doing all of this so that you don't have to. That that's the real value ad here. Again, going to the going back to the cost, $200 for the year, and what you're going to get back from it is going to be exponentially higher here, which you can see at the at the bottom. Like, I'm so convinced that the discrepancy between what you're paying versus what you're getting is so large that I'm going to provide a 100% sat back guarantee, which means there's zero risk to you. If you pay for this course and you're not satisfied with it, no questions asked, I will send you back your entire membership fee in SATS. You paid in fiat, I'll send it back in sats. That's how confident I am that the the value that you receive from this course is going to be way way way more than what you pay for it. And that's how it should be. I think uh you're also going to get an annual maintenance schedule. So again, it's easy to set up. It's easy to watch a half an hour video on how to set up your cold card, but what do you do? What else do you need to do? Do you have to do something every month? Do you have to do something every six months, every year? So, this is going to be an annual maintenance schedule that all the students are going to have a copy of that you can always refer back to. Uh, you got earning potential within the community. So, as this visionaries community grows, we're going to be looking for different roles and it's obviously all going to be paid in Bitcoin, but it's going to be for members because they're already in interested. They're already invested in this. They've already put in the proof of work. So, there's going to be earning potential within the community optional.

[00:16:53]There's going to be private support. So, there's going to be a higher tier where if you want to have a little bit more than what everybody else is getting in terms of like some one-on-one time with me, it's going to be pretty discounted, I'd say.

[00:17:06]Uh, which also includes this. There's going to be an option for a physical backup of your keys. So, I'm kind of working on something right now where if you don't have anybody in your life that you can trust, we're going to have a solution to that. Again, it's going to be optional. It's going to be additional to this, but it's only going to be for members of this course.

[00:17:24]and uh a private Bitcoin node. I we kind of took this from the Maple community here, the one the Maple community where we have a Bitcoin node that members are allowed to sync up with connect to. So you're not really you're not relying on Blockstream's node or Luke's node or the Electrum node. You have somebody in the community that you can connect to. So your all your transactions are going to be more private. So privacy is a big part of this course. Privacy is a massive part of this course. We're going to be talking about many different tools, VPNs, exchanges to become more private. That's the almanac part of the course. So that's the tangibles and this is the intangibles. So you're going to get weekly support. It's going to be constant repetition.

[00:18:12]You're going to have greater conviction.

[00:18:14]You're going to have greater confidence.

[00:18:17]You're going to have a sense of community. You're going to have a sense of comfort helping you sleep better at night and you're going to have a brand new mindset. Like that's that's a big part of being a Bitcoiner is a is a different mindset. We have this fiat brain because we've been born into it.

[00:18:33]We spent our whole life in the fiat system. And so at the end of this course, you're going to have a much different mindset, which is arguably the most important part of this. So again, we're going to focus on a bunch of different things here. This isn't just going to be technical. Of course, it's going to be a part of it, but you're going to get the technical side of things. You're going to get the mindset.

[00:18:52]You're going to get the tangibles, and you're going to learn how to make more money, which is kind of crazy that this kind of part of this course, but it it all ties together. learn how to become more valuable and a sense make more money, earn more sats that you need to be protecting, but also probably the most important part of this is learn to enjoy life. A lot of Bitcoiners out there, they're kind of racing. They're racing to accumulate, which is which is good. They're looking at the price every day. They're wondering when they can retire, and they're kind of putting everything off until it gets to that point. But we don't have a very long time here on Earth. It's it's very short. And so it's great. One thing I've noticed about Bitcoiners that we all have in common is that we all have we're we're very unselfish.

[00:19:45]Everybody says, "I want Bitcoin so that my kids have this. I want Bitcoin so that my grandkids have this." But you got to be a little bit more selfish here because the only thing that really really matters is how much you enjoy yourself while you're here.

[00:20:01]And so obviously you want to get as much as you can, you want to protect it as much as you can, but you also want to enjoy life as much as you can. And so again, through weekly sessions, through constant repetition, through a brand new mindset, this is kind of all going to tie together in this one course.

[00:20:20]So where's it going to happen? It's all going to happen on school. We have the ability to set up a a show in there so you can join. It's going to be about an hour and a half each week and you can connect in there. You can turn on your camera. You can turn on your microphone.

[00:20:35]You can be part of the whole session. A little bit different than just being in the comment section, a live chat. So, it's going to be a fullon experience like an actual school. So, school.com88s, it's all run through school. There's going to be no Zooms. There's going to be no YouTube private email And that's really why I did the show on YouTube today because I don't need to be collecting your emails. I could have done a seminar where everybody had to sign up with their email and I would bother you for the next six months to join this course. I don't you know I'm going to explain the benefits to you, but I'm never going to sell this to you. You know in your heart whether or not you need this course. So I figured I would just do it on YouTube. I don't need to be bugging you. If it if it's not the right time for you, that's okay.

[00:21:24]But if you have that feeling in your heart and in your gut, whatever you want to call it, then join us.

[00:21:32]It's going to be weekly. So again, we're going to be doing about 90 90 minute sessions on Tuesdays.

[00:21:41]Going to be live going to be you can join. Again, you can join with your camera. If you don't want to, you can just turn your microphone on or you can just hang out and watch. Doesn't matter.

[00:21:50]and all sessions will be recorded and posted.

[00:21:59]So, how to join? Again, you just go to school.com88s.

[00:22:04]You're probably going to want to join the next couple days because again, the I'm going to start increasing the price as this course starts. Every five members that join, we're going to raise the price.

[00:22:14]So, keep that in mind.

[00:22:16]Um, okay. So, let's go to it. We're we're actually going to go into Oh, we're going to go into um this nice little slide deck I got for you.

[00:22:32]I'm pretty proud of this. This is my first slide deck that I built. So, here it is.

[00:22:40]Here it is. This is the engineering and gener generational legacy. So, these are the six questions that you're going to be asking yourself and that we're going to be going through in this course. This is just kind of a sneak peek, but it should get you thinking about things. So, building and securing the digital homestead.

[00:23:01]Hopefully, everybody can see this. Okay.

[00:23:03]But, uh, we're shifting the posture.

[00:23:06]We're shifting the mindset from paranoia to actual architecture, right? Like you got to be thinking very far out with this stuff. Again, you we focus on what's right in front of us, but we also need to prepare and plan for 500 years down the road because that's what Bitcoin's built for. Bitcoin's like buying, as Sailor said, land in London in 1600. That's where we are right now.

[00:23:31]We're first generation Bitcoiners. We're the ones building the foundation. We're the ones who hopefully will benefit the most from this. Well, shouldn't say that, but we get to go through it. It's kind of cool. But we're the architects here. That's what we need to switch to.

[00:23:43]We don't need to be scared. We just need to set things up properly.

[00:23:48]And so you have uh the mindset here is paranoia and isolation for the defensive hold.

[00:23:54]Reacting to attacks. The vocabularies are threats, bunkers, fortresses, and the outcome is a fragile system that break under pressure or lock out airs.

[00:24:08]So fragile systems that either if you haven't done them properly, they're easily hacked, easily accessible, or you over complicate it, you make things too complex where something happens to you and your family can't actually access your Bitcoin. So that's what we want to move from and we want to move to the homestead builder, which is a mindset of sovereignty and permanence.

[00:24:33]We're engineering robust and enduring systems built to last. We're focusing on the bedrock, the blueprints, the silos, and the succession.

[00:24:44]And the outcome is going to be a resilient digital estate designed to outlast its creator and yield a generational harvest.

[00:24:52]Love this slide. Absolutely love this slide. And again, think about this. Just think about this logically. Is this something that you could do in 2 hours and pay somebody $2,000 to help you with or is this something that you really need to think through that you really need to take time and understand so that you can do things properly? And that's why this course is 8 months. We could have made it eight weeks easily. But you have to take the right approach to this and this is something that takes a lot of time to truly understand. And so that's why this course is the way it is.

[00:25:28]So here's the eight pillars. We got the land grant kind of the establishment part is the the land grant the claiming sovereignty uh design the architecture which is the blueprint and anchoring to absolute mathematical truth which is the bedrock.

[00:25:44]So this is kind of like the first part the pillars one to three. Every session that we do is going to be focused on one of these eight things. the land grant, the blueprint, the bedrock, the almanac, your privacy, the forge, the tools, the silo, the multi-ig, the harvest, earning more, and the succession, your inheritance. Then we go to operations, the pillars four to six, documenting the truth, the almanac, privately, shaping the tools, the forge, and securing the vaults, the silo.

[00:26:17]And then the last part here is your legacy, reaping the economic energy, the harvest, and executing the generational transfer, the succession.

[00:26:28]So that's the eight pillars. Every session that we do is going to focus on one of these eight things.

[00:26:38]So one of the most important ones here, I kind of I kind of focused on two. It should be three. Succession should be part of this, but we kind of focused on two here. pill or two which is assessing the terrain which is basically like seeing where you are taking inventory of where you are. So before you start pouring concrete you map out the landscape you understand exactly what digital properly is being held and how you need to be thinking about it how you need to be treating its operational requirements and then you start drafting. You design the security protocols based on what you have, based on what's available, based on the terrain. You define the hardware, the geographic distribution of the assets, and the legal structures required to protect your legacy, your your estate.

[00:27:27]So, the cool thing about this is we talked about the forge, we talked about the the hardware, the tools. The cool thing about this course is I'm I'm completely free to talk about whatever I want. There's no company that's paying me to do this course.

[00:27:43]There's no sponsors on this channel which are going to be influencing my direction. In fact, the tool that I recommend here, we already talked about one of the tools is probably the worst referral program in Bitcoin.

[00:27:57]You just get store credit to Coin Kite.

[00:27:59]So, I love Coin Kite. They got the best product, but they got shitty backup cards and they got a shitty referral program. So, there's no sponsors.

[00:28:09]There's no sort of influence that way.

[00:28:11]We're going to focus on the best because when we're talking about the best asset here in human history, you want the best tools to protect it.

[00:28:22]Step three is building in the redundancy. So, constant repetition, redundant backups. If something happens to one thing, you got two other things there.

[00:28:30]Something happens to one location, you got other places you can go to to restore your Bitcoin. So building in redundancy, a proper blueprint assumes failure points and engineers around them, ensuring the structure stands even if one pillar cracks, which means you eliminate your single points of failure.

[00:28:50]That's the whole point.

[00:28:52]And this is the other one here. This is what we're working towards. So we got the the silo, the multi-IG. The silo operates on a two of three or three of five structural logic. A single key cannot breach the silo.

[00:29:04]So if you got 12 words in one location, somebody finds those 12 words, they can't do anything with it.

[00:29:11]If something happens to that location that those 12 those 12 words are being stored or that device is being stored, doesn't matter. That's just one key. You have two more or you have four more. So if one key is destroyed in a fire season by an adversary, the structural integrity of the the silo remains uncompromised. The harvest inside remains secure. I love this. I love the theme with this because it's just such a good way to think about it.

[00:29:38]So, here we go. This is our homestead resilience drill. This is what I want everybody to pay attention to here. And, uh, if you want to write them down, you can. But, we're going to be going through this again in like episode one, two, or three of the course.

[00:29:53]But, uh, for everybody out there, I didn't want this just to be a sales pitch. Again, I'm not trying to sell you on anything. You know, if you need this or you don't. I'm trying to explain what it is.

[00:30:02]And I want to add some value too because you're taking your time to watch this today. And so this is going to be extremely valuable for getting you thinking about where you're at.

[00:30:13]So the first one here, these are the drills.

[00:30:16]So the first one is your inheritance drill. The the scenario you pass away today.

[00:30:23]You're on your way to work or on your way home for work or on your way to meet a client. Car passes the road, crosses the line, you're gone.

[00:30:32]So that's the scenario. Instruct your next ofkin, your spouse or your kids or whoever to retrieve your digital assets.

[00:30:38]So the constraint here, obviously this is a hypothetical scenario.

[00:30:43]Hopefully nobody actually dies today, but the constraint here is that they are only allowed to use the information they possess right now. No new notes, no questions, no head nods, no instructions at all.

[00:30:59]they have to restore your Bitcoin based on the information that they have today.

[00:31:07]So that's the the first part here. So without you to guide them, does the succession architecture hold or is the harvest locked in the silo forever?

[00:31:16]How freaking cool is this?

[00:31:19]So that's the first question.

[00:31:22]I guarantee I guarantee that 99% of people watching this right now and later would fail that.

[00:31:32]And that's like the first one that that's that's the softball here, the easy one.

[00:31:39]So the next one here, scorched earth. So the scenarios, pretend your phone Oh, this is even it's just scary to think about this stuff right now. And I know people watching this are like, "Shit, I need to uh I need to do something here."

[00:31:53]Pretend your phone, your PC, and every single item in your home and office are completely destroyed. So, these questions I forgot to mention off the hop here, but I want to give a shout out to uh to Mike. Mike gave these six questions to me, one of the guys in the community, and said, "We need to be focused on this. These are very important things that most Bitcoiners are completely missing."

[00:32:14]So this scenario here pretend your phone PC and every single item in your home has been destroyed.

[00:32:20]So the constraint you got no use of your phone you have no access to your home and you have no access to existing paper or notes or anything on the premise.

[00:32:36]So the recovery here is you need to initiate the geographical redundancy protocol. retrieve your assets entirely from distributed off-site components. So again, the whole point of this is we want to move the Bitcoin away from you.

[00:32:48]You want to remove that single point of failure.

[00:32:52]It's funny. I I'm watching the numbers here on YouTube just dropping because people are like, "H, it's so crazy to me. People just like they'd rather not think about this than actually take action."

[00:33:04]It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy to me.

[00:33:07]But uh anyways, I mean they'll uh you got to learn you you'll learn the hard way or uh you'll get things protected here.

[00:33:16]So that's scenario number two. Scenario number three is the perimeter breach drill. So this is a really good one to think about. Two or more armed attackers are at your main premise. They have disabled all means of calling for help.

[00:33:29]They know you have a safe and they will find it.

[00:33:33]So what are you going to do in this?

[00:33:34]What are you going to do in this situation? Have you thought about this?

[00:33:37]Have you thought about it more than one time? Do you actually have a plan?

[00:33:41]Two armed attackers are at your house.

[00:33:44]They have disabled all the means. They cut off your communications. They know you you have a safe. And one of the big tips in this course is actually not to keep your private keys in your safe for that reason. So they threaten violence and directly force compliance. So what do you do? What do you say? Where's your Bitcoin? Where are you going to take them to? Like you just have to think about this stuff right now. Just imagine somebody breaks in your house right now.

[00:34:10]They say, "Give me your Bitcoin. Give me your private keys." What do you do? What do you say? Where do you take them to?

[00:34:18]What Bitcoin will be exposed?

[00:34:20]Do you have decoys? Do you have the majority offsite? Do you have a small balance at your house that you can give to them as like a take it and go?

[00:34:34]And so what exact assets can they physically extract? How many private keys do you have lying around your house? And does your silo architecture ensure that a local physical breach yields minimal capital while protecting the core treasury there? So again, you can have 5 or 10% of your Bitcoin at your house. the rest of it should be away from it.

[00:34:56]And that's that's what we're designing here. That's what we're building.

[00:35:00]Next one here. Over a period of 3 weeks, you suffer from illness, amnesia, dementia, or extreme trauma. So, you get sick or you get hit by a bus. All your memories gone. You forget entirely how how your storage system operates.

[00:35:15]Again, scary as hell. Hopefully highly unlikely for most people here, but and definitely not zero chance. Definitely not zero chance.

[00:35:25]So, how do your loved ones or your living assistants reliably rebuild and comprehend your storage architecture to care for you?

[00:35:34]So, kind of going back to the the original part of this is like you can you can make your security comp uh setup as complex as possible, but it's not going to help with things like this.

[00:35:47]It's going to basically ensure that your family does not get your Bitcoin.

[00:35:51]So, you really need to focus on simplicity and being as robust as possible.

[00:35:57]So, that's this is a scary one.

[00:36:01]Next one here, the inspection drill. You are labeled a political enemy. Accused of misinformation or a crime. The state secures a search warrant for your house, office, bank, and safe deposit box. The constraint here is assume agents successfully find a 12 or 24word passphrase on your premise. So if they found that, would they be able to sweep all your Bitcoin or is it just a chunk of it? Can a single agent sweep your entire life's work with that one piece of information?

[00:36:29]Again, most people watching now and later, the answer to that would be yes.

[00:36:38]and the the political enemy, the accused of misinformation or the crimes, the goalposts are always moving there.

[00:36:46]They're moving every single day here.

[00:36:49]So, how do you know? How do you know what's going to be labeled a crime or misinformation or whatever in the future?

[00:36:57]So, the last one here is the midnight mitigation drill or sorry, midnight migration. So, you got to you got to leave.

[00:37:04]Extreme turmoil strikes your country.

[00:37:06]You have exactly 24 hours to pack your bags and flee across the borders. The constraint is that the banks and safety deposit locations are shuttered. You will never be able to return to your home country. Can you transport your wealth silently across borders and reliably access your digital harvest in a new jurisdiction?

[00:37:27]This is probably the hardest one.

[00:37:31]This is the hardest one.

[00:37:33]And you might not have all of these perfectly solved, but you need to ask these questions and you need to start working towards the solutions. So now we know what we have to do. And basically these next eight months here, everything that we talk about are going to get us to into a position where all six of these drills you will comfortably be able to do this. And again, I'm just going to throw this out there.

[00:37:58]I'm going to guess that like 99%. And I keep saying 99 because I think that the amount is very high.

[00:38:05]99% of people might not even pass one of these tests.

[00:38:13]Do you know how scary that is? We look at the price, we get excited about it.

[00:38:17]We look at people buying, we get excited about it.

[00:38:22]We look at how many individuals just like us, just like me, just like you own Bitcoin. We get excited about it. But we're all taking this for granted. We're all focusing on the wrong things. The only thing that matters right now is setting this up because if you don't do it properly and one of these six things happen, there's probably six more we could think of, but these are kind of like the core six.

[00:38:47]It's gone.

[00:38:51]So we got the drills, we got the threat vectors, and then we want to build the mechanism into it. So that's whether it's a multi-IG, whether it's geographically distributed keys, whether it's decoy wallets, passphrases, redundancy, backups, backups, backups.

[00:39:09]Uh two of three brain wallets are globally distributed keys.

[00:39:18]That's what we're focused on here.

[00:39:19]That's what we're building.

[00:39:22]So I really like this. True sovereignty isn't measured by what you hold today.

[00:39:25]And I think that that's what people get wrong. I think people look at their Bitcoin balance, they're like, "Oh I'm good. My family's good forever."

[00:39:34]But it's measured by what you can build, secure, and what you can pass down.

[00:39:43]So you engineer the blueprint, you construct the silo, you build it, and you secure your legacy.

[00:39:49]And that's uh scary. It's scary. And the reason why that stuck out to me, the reason why I thought we could bring it into this course is because when I first read those six questions, I'm like, "Holy Holy I talk about Bitcoin every day. My life's work is Bitcoin security and I would have failed some of those tests. I still would today."

[00:40:17]And that's the whole thing here, right?

[00:40:19]Like, we're going to build this whole thing together. We're going through this whole thing together.

[00:40:23]This isn't just going to be me telling you and and preaching to you what you need to do. We're thinking about this stuff. And that's why having the community, having the signal group, having all this stuff is going to be the support that you need to kind of build this whole thing.

[00:40:38]So, it's it's horrifying. Truly is. So, again, hope you join us. This is episode zero. We're going to start episode number one. The first week is going to be next week on school. It's not going to be on YouTube. And so you can join by going to school.com88s.

[00:40:56]school.com88s.

[00:41:00]You can't miss it. I I'll link it below, but uh it's very easy to find. I I don't I don't think anybody hopefully can screw that up.

[00:41:11]Marco says, "A member of the community."

[00:41:13]He said, "Uh, the hardest thing for you to explain, Jor, is how good this community is."

[00:41:20]Well, there you go. That's uh that's a pretty good way to end it, I'd say. So, again, we got 20 How many people are in there right now?

[00:41:31]You can join for free. You can be part of the community using that link. Uh, but you should consider joining as a premium member because that's what's going to get access to the course.

[00:41:43]So, just uh just one more time here.

[00:41:48]One more time through. No, just kidding.

[00:41:51]Um, so it's $21 a month to join. It's going to be an eight-month course. You can stick around if you want to or you can leave. So, which is less than $200.

[00:42:01]Again, kind of laughable to me, but it's the first it's the first run through of it.

[00:42:09]We're going to do this next year. We're going to do it the year after. This is going to be the course that you want to go through to make sure that your Bitcoin's safe. It is.

[00:42:18]And so, the first one is going to be the the cheapest one. We're going to raise the price every week probably as more people join. So, you want to get in earlier. That's how it's always been with these communities. It's how it's always going to be. Um, but the other part too is there's zero risk to you.

[00:42:33]Zero risk. You join, you're not completely satisfied. You get 100% back, no questions asked. Again, that's how confident I am that the things we're going to be talking about, the questions we're going to be asking this community, part of it, big part of it. The discrepancy there between what you're paying to be in here and what you're getting back from it is very wide.

[00:42:58]We have a 98% retention for the people who have signed up. I don't know how many communities on school have a 98% retention, but it's not many. And that just shows how much value you get from being a member in there of how few people leave the community.

[00:43:16]So, uh, thank you, Marco. I appreciate that. That's a good way to end it. So, yeah, you want to join probably before the first course, but if you're watching this after, you can always catch up. All these sessions are going to be recorded.

[00:43:27]We hope that you show up every week and as part of the the sessions and uh that's it. So, I'm not going to end the episode here yet, but I'm going to end this kind of part of it. And so, uh school.com/88s.

[00:43:40]If you have any questions, again, you can email me, you can leave a comment, or you can join for free and check it out yourself, and then you can always upgrade after.

[00:43:50]But it's uh that's the email and then the course is 88 sats school right here.

[00:43:58]So that's it. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

[00:44:00]Hopefully that uh made you think a little bit differently asking yourself some questions because that's the main thing. You just need to think about it.

[00:44:07]Most people don't.

[00:44:09]Most people it's crazy but most people just don't think. And the more thinking you can do, the more planning you can do, the more visualization you can do, uh it's all going to come full circle here. and make sure that uh your Bitcoin safe and everything that you've worked for in your life up until this point can be passed on to your kids and their kids.

[00:44:30]So that's it. You can always increase your Bitcoin security. Going back to Cody Johnson here, that song till you can't. You can always improve it. You can always set up a multi. You can always get a cold card. You can always sign up for a course. Till you can't.

[00:44:45]And life is very, very unexpected. So you want to take action. And that's kind of the key thing here. 2026, you take 8 months of your life, very minimal amount of investment financially wise, financially speaking, but it takes time.

[00:44:58]That's probably the biggest downside to this course is it it takes time. It's repetition.

[00:45:04]It's weekly. And it's just having to think and prepare and take action. So, hope you join us. I really do because uh it's going to be one heck of a
