YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS ARE ABOUT TO LEARN WHY BITCOIN EXISTS!

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]So, let's talk about why most people still don't get Bitcoin. Most people still don't get Bitcoin. And the other day, I ran into a friend of mine who I've known for many, many years, and he said to me, he said, "How's your Bitcoin going? You know, I hear it's down around 40%.

[00:00:19]How's it going?" And I said, "Well, look, if you want to have a conversation about it, I'm more than happy to to do that. But, uh, as I've learned in the past, trying to, uh, talk to your friends about, uh, something that they don't really want to know about, they just want to kind of make a, you know, a sideways comment on, but when you want to kind of go into a deeper conversation, they tend to just tune out." Uh, you know, I said, "Well, look, you know, let's talk about it." But the reality is is that most people don't really want to know. And that's a really sad thing because even people who, you know, think that they don't need Bitcoin are going to realize that the world that we're moving into, uh, is going to really require of them if they want to protect their purchasing power, their freedom, their sovereignty.

[00:01:10]It's something that they're going to eventually need to pay attention to. But the problem is is that the the barrier to entry particularly in terms of price uh is going to be significantly higher than it is now. And this is why myself and other people who are educating in this space uh are really uh shouting from the rooftops right now and trying to make people understand that the fiat dollar price of Bitcoin is the least most important feature of this monetary system. Everybody measure it measures it that way because that's the only frame of reference that they have.

[00:01:53]This is the thing that creates all of the headlines. And when Bitcoin's price is really moving as it was doing towards the end of last year, everybody was talking about it. It was even on, you know, the mainstream media channels. Uh everybody was piling in because Bitcoin's price was just adding 5 10 15% a day at times. And it was just uh just creating this this euphoria and this FOMO in the market where everybody thought well this is going to go to 200,000 400,000 500,000 maybe it's even going to go to a million bucks and we've seen this movie before and historically when you get into a an Uber and your drivers talking about Bitcoin that typically represents that we're getting pretty close to you know the peak of the of of the cycle in terms of Bitcoin's price and this is what was happening uh you know around September October last year but you know the reality is is that even though Bitcoin's price has come back around 50% since that time it has no bearing on the success of Bitcoin. It has no bearing on the power of Bitcoin as a decentralized monetary uh network, a global free market that you and I and everybody has the opportunity to participate in that can't be stopped.

[00:03:21]And the more that people wake up and start to realize that this is the true revolution of Bitcoin, it is not a trade. We're not trying to enter Bitcoin to create more dollars that we can pull out later. I mean that is financial suicide in my opinion.

[00:03:37]Anybody who's trying to trade Bitcoin uh really needs to do some work because they are completely missing the point.

[00:03:45]Bitcoin is not about creating more dollars. Bitcoin is an exit. It is an off ramp. It is an escape from a broken system. And so it doesn't matter what Bitcoin's price is on any given day. If Bitcoin's price drops, for those who understand this, they just simply see it as Bitcoin being on sale, it's an opportunity to add to your position. And this is exactly what we're seeing right now. Bitcoin right now is boring, okay?

[00:04:16]It's not really moving. There's not much happening. It's very, very uh, you know, flat. It's just sort of, you know, trudging away and not creating any real noise around it. And people are ignoring it. Meanwhile, there's all this chaos going on inside the traditional financial and political and geopolitical system and that's, you know, kind of absorbing everybody's bandwidth and energy and and and attention when what they really should be paying attention to is how they can begin to opt out.

[00:04:51]And so this is the point that I really want to make here is that most people don't get this because they've resigned themsel to a system, a monetary system that is going to rule their life.

[00:05:06]successful people, multi-millionaires, people who are doing it tough, the middle class who are essentially going to end up sitting on the bottom because this is what a socialist uh monetary reset is designed to do.

[00:05:21]It's designed to rip the guts out of the middle class. Okay? And this is why everybody now is up in arms all over social media. Everybody's complaining about, you know, the budget, the pending rule changes to taxation and, you know, negative gearing and, you know, even uh superanuation. All of these things that have recently come out have caused everybody to start saying, well, hang on, we need a shift in direction. We need new political leadership. What they don't realize is that politics isn't going to solve this. The only thing that's going to solve this is making a independent decision to opt out of the of the system to exercise your own agency as a sovereign being. Okay? And the more that people begin to realize this, the more that we're going to see a flight towards Bitcoin, the likes of which you've never seen before. Now, people already in emerging markets and economies that have spent decades in the doldrums that have essentially stripped the lives and the livelihoods of of citizens through monetary inflation and the failure of currencies and uh in many countries even these people, you know, I'm talking about like Central America and and and parts of Africa, people who have never even had the opportunity to have a bank account. These people are leading the charge now. These people are pioneering the way forward in this global decentralized free market system because now they have financial liberation. Now they have the ability to be their own bank. Now they are exercising their right to participate in a free market system that is the separation of money from state. People who are reclaiming their financial sovereignty. And we haven't yet experienced this in Australia, in the US in wholesale form, but that day is coming because a debt-based system and a fiat currency, which is what the Australian dollar is and the Australian, you know, financial system and the US system is, they are designed to gradually strangle participants. All of the wealth concentrates into the top 5%.

[00:07:48]Okay? People like David Ike have been saying this for decades. Where we're heading is towards what is known as a two-tier Hunger Games society. You'll have the top 5% and pretty much everyone else will be sitting at the bottom. Even the middle class, okay? And the most people who are out there in society obviously are in the middle class. That's why they're called the middle class. They're not at the top. They're not at the bottom. They're in the middle. And that's where the greatest concentration of the population resides. But those are the people who are going to have their guts ripped out here. Okay? Boom and bust cycles, attracting people into real estate through very very low interest rates, treat cheap money as we had through the co era, printing more money to drive up asset prices. Okay? Then when everybody's piled in and have taken on these exorbitant amounts of debt, what do they do? They tighten the screws. They dial up the interest rates.

[00:08:45]Now everybody can't afford to hang on to their homes that they were chasing as the market was moving. They were draw drawn in, right? They didn't want to miss the market. Now they've all sitting on this enormous amount of debt and now they're tightening up the interest rates so that people won't be able to afford to hang on to those homes.

[00:09:05]people who are out of the market, guess what? The price of entry is now double, triple what it was five, six years ago.

[00:09:13]So, does that sound like a financial system you want to be a part of? Okay.

[00:09:19]Do you want to be at the whim of a woman that gets up on the lect turn who nobody elected every month and who decides what the monetary policy is going to be that is going to impact your life?

[00:09:31]Okay. Same thing happens with the Fed chair in the US, albeit they've just brought in this wash, this new guy who's apparently a Trump guy and he's going to bring in more favorable monetary policy.

[00:09:46]But remains to be seen what that actually means. But the point is is that you know the more that people begin to realize that we have agency as individuals and Bitcoin is the only tool that enables our sovereignty because what Bitcoin does is two things.

[00:10:06]The first thing that it does is it enables you to store your time and energy in abstract form which is your money. Your money is a function of your time and energy that you expend in abstract form. So if you get up and you go and build a business, do a job, build a career, whatever you put out into the world, you are now expecting something in return for that output. And what you're getting in return is this thing that we call money. But what really is the measuring stick is what you've put out. Your time, your intellectual knowledge, your skill set, your labor, the output is being valued constantly with that piece of paper. And as you begin to realize that that piece of paper you have no control over because it is part of an infinite debt-based system that they control that you didn't vote for that you have no say in the more you realize that you're essentially just handing yourself over every single day that you choose to go and work for that currency. So, the smart people right now are waking up and they're realizing, well, I need to time lock time lock my time, my energy, and my output into a form of money that they can't with. And that's what Bitcoin is. Okay? And so, there is a distinct um clarifying moment that people have when they start to realize that Bitcoin is not a trade. It is a financial revolution. that has been there and available to 8 billion people since October 2008.

[00:11:48]Okay, really January 2009, but the Bitcoin white paper came out on the back of the global financial crisis which was in full swing began in September 2008 and the Bitcoin white paper was released in October 2008 and the first Bitcoin block was mined in January 2009.

[00:12:10]And so Bitcoin is a financial revolution and it is designed to liberate 8 billion people worldwide. But the thing is it doesn't really care who joins it and when it does and when they join when they join the network when they choose to participate.

[00:12:27]But again, as we see throughout history, when you have these technologies and these protocols that are extremely disruptive and have the ability to completely shake out the legacy way of doing things, they don't happen overnight. They take time to evolve.

[00:12:45]Okay? And this is what is happening with Bitcoin. It is taking time to evolve.

[00:12:49]There is this gradually phase and then all of a sudden there is a moment in time where everything flips.

[00:12:59]Everything becomes sudden. Everything goes from gradual to sudden. We saw it with the internet. We saw it with Uber.

[00:13:08]We saw it with Netflix. We saw it with the list goes on. The iPhone, you know, we saw it with cable TV.

[00:13:18]Cable TV. we saw it. And so these are the disruptive technologies that transform the way that we do things, that transform the future.

[00:13:29]And so anybody who's sitting there who is spending any amount of time studying Bitcoin and its fundamentals and the fact that it is a decentralized monetary network that can't be stopped, that is becoming more and more decentralized and more secure every 10 minutes, right? because that's [clears throat] how Bitcoin runs. It is a a monetary system that essentially is authenticated and verified and secured by nodes and miners every single 10 minutes.

[00:14:04]And as a participant in that network, if you're running your own node, you have the ability to have granular visibility over what is happening on the Bitcoin ledger, on the blockchain, and where you fit into that picture. And I know this is kind of more advanced kind of stuff, but the reality is is that people at some point are going to wake up and realize that they need to start storing their time and energy time locked in a decentralized ledger that nobody can manipulate. That is not governed by a central banker. is not governed by any one particular government.

[00:14:50]And so the two things that Bitcoin promises is number one, the ability for you to time lock your time and energy in a way that can't be diluted because they can't inflate Bitcoin. Bitcoin, there's 21 million. That's the most that there'll ever be. There's 2.1 quadrillion units, Satoshi's that make up the entire Bitcoin network. 100 million SATs per Bitcoin, 2.1 quadrillion SATs or Satoshi's make up the entire monetary system. And so SATS is going to be the transactional layer where all the infrastructure is being built now that is going to enable people who are storing their time and energy, time locking their time and energy in Bitcoin to then go and spend their Bitcoin sats via the lightning network by via these layer 2 solutions that they can pay similar to tap and go. your daily coffee, your haircut, your set of new tires for your car, right? Whatever it might be. You want to buy a new apartment, you'll be able to pay in sats. Ferrari, one of the most prestige motor companies on earth, they just started accepting Bitcoin.

[00:16:04]So, you know, this is an unstoppable force now. So, Bitcoin enables you to time lock your time and energy so that it's protected in terms of long-term purchasing power. But the other thing that it does, it enables you to protect and preserve your savings, your wealth in a completely decentralized autonomous way where you do not have any layers or counterparties that sit between you and access to your money.

[00:16:32]Right? This is why when you hold Bitcoin in self-custody, and there are different levels to this, but if you hold Bitcoin in self-custody and you own the keys to your Bitcoin, you and only you can access that. Nobody else. It can't be seized. It can't be stolen. It can't be frozen. They can't suspend access to it.

[00:16:51]Nothing can be done to separate you from access to your savings, your wealth, your capital, and your money. And this is why people in Africa are loving this right now. people in Central America, this is why they're loving this right now. Why? Because they are used to having the rug pulled from underneath them and that it's not happening anymore. Why? Because they are liberated financially. They have a Bitcoin wallet on their phone and they have their own agency. Nobody can stop them from sending and receiving their their money.

[00:17:27]So the power of Bitcoin cannot be underestimated and very soon people are going to start waking up and they're going to realize that politics is not going to save the traditional financial system. The only thing that's going to save it is people saving themselves.

[00:17:44]Now this is exactly why I've put together these two Zoom live streams this week. I'm holding two sessions. One is on Wednesday night the 3rd of June at 7:00 p.m. Sydney time. We're going to be going for about 90 minutes. Uh me together with Bisher from Storm Rake.

[00:18:01]Storm Rake is one of Australia's best known Bitcoin brokerages. They place hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin trades. They help every single year. They've helped countless people uh in Australia and now in the US. They've just opened an office in Dallas to onboard into Bitcoin in the most seamless way possible. Bisher is an extremely knowledgeable guy. And so we we've already received a whole bunch of questions for this week's uh these two sessions. Um, so if you want to have your finger on the pulse right now and really understand what's happening at the coalace, um, in terms of the regulatory framework, how this could impact you as a Bitcoiner, uh, things that you need to do before, uh, July 1 in Australia if you're a Bitcoin holder. Uh, is now a good time to be buying Bitcoin, adding to your Bitcoin possess position? Uh, I've got questions in there about SMSFs, people who are wanting to set up a Bitcoin friendly retirement plan, questions around that. We'll be addressing how to do that. So, there's a whole bunch of of questions in this um, you know, cohort that have have been given to us from people who have registered. And so, I'd highly recommend that you show up. Uh, if you can't make it, at least register and you'll get access to the content because we'll be sending out the recording. But these sessions I'm putting together because I want people in my community uh to have access to the right information. There's a lot of noise out there on social media and uh it's all very much sound bites designed to get views and clicks and design designed to create anxiety and uh you know to kind of scare people and shock people. But this is going to be a calm dedicated session over about 90 minutes where you're going to get the truth from somebody who's right at the coldface, who's had to jump through all the hoops, who runs a very very busy and growing Bitcoin uh brokerage. Um and so take the time to to get the truth, please. That that will be my uh advice to you. So, Wednesday night, uh 7:00 p.m. if you can make that one.

[00:20:05]The other session we've got uh is on Friday morning, June 5th, which will be 10:00 a.m. Now, for those of you in the US, if you want access to this particular session, uh 10:00 a.m. on Friday is going to be, I think, 5:00 p.m. uh West Coast time. So, LA time, 5:00 p.m. on Thursday evening. So, it gives you the opportunity to also jump uh on board and tune in in with us. So, I'm going to leave it there today. I hope you got some value today. Uh, there's a lot of people out there who are still very confused about what Bitcoin is, even smart people. And I just really invite you to tune in to real signal right now, not noise, signal. And I'm going to be jumping on a plane next week to Prague. I'm going to Bitcoin Prague. And I'm really looking forward to that. I'll be spending some time in Europe and uh I'll be coming to you from there next week. But I'll definitely be seeing you hopefully this week. couple more videos before I jump on a plane and I'll be sharing some stuff with you uh from the conference at Prague as well. So, uh thanks for tuning in. Please leave a comment, please like, please share, please subscribe, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now.

[00:21:17]All right, since you made it this far in the video, I want to quickly share three resources with you that can really help you on your Bitcoin journey. Number one, buying Bitcoin. I personally recommend Storm Rake. They are a full-ervice brokerage based in Melbourne. They'll help you to set up your account, to buy your Bitcoin at the best possible price, and even to withdraw your Bitcoin into your own private wallet when you're ready to do that to open an account with Storm Rake. You'll see a link below, and one of the team will contact you.

[00:21:49]Secondly, securing your Bitcoin. If you're ready to take full self-custody of your Bitcoin, I personally recommend that you set up a free 30inut call with the world experts at the Bitcoin Way.

[00:22:02]I'm a private client of the Bitcoin Way.

[00:22:04]I highly recommend their services.

[00:22:07]Again, book a free 30-inut call. You'll see a link below for that. And just finally, if you would like my personal guidance, I offer two services. My one-on-one coaching calls on Zoom. I'll answer your questions. We'll talk about strategy, everything that is personalized for you and what you need in Bitcoin. And I also have a private mentorship group called My Bitcoin Success Circle. A growing community of like-minded people, a great way to stay connected and to stay on track. And there's a link below for that as
