How Bitcoin Helped Me Save This Tree

00:01 Bitcoin gives you financial freedom to 00:03 do crazy projects like this. So, uh, in 00:05 one of my properties in Mississippi, 00:07 there is a tree right here that is 00:10 splitting right there. And I had a tree 00:13 crew come in, uh, and put something 00:16 around it to try to keep it from 00:18 splitting. And they did a poor job like 00:19 5 years ago. And the whole thing they 00:21 put in was wrong. And they wrapped it 00:23 all the way around the trunks, which was 00:25 choking off the trunks. And I was like, 00:27 you know what? Bitcoin gives you 00:28 financial freedom. I'm going to go fix 00:30 this problem myself. So, I uh got a 00:34 ladder, the very large extension ladder 00:36 right here. I got 300 ft of 3/4 in uh 00:41 polyropylene rope and I turned it into a 00:43 safety rope by tying loops in it all the 00:45 way up and down. Then I went on Amazon 00:48 and or maybe I don't know if it was 00:49 Amazon. Where have I found it? I found 00:51 the strongest uh tie down wraparound um 00:55 winch whatever ratchet straps literally 00:58 on the internet which is right here. The 00:60 breaking strength of that right here is 01:02 20,000 lb. And it's wrapped where it 01:06 goes around not the whole trunk which 01:08 would have choke choked it out. It's 01:09 wrapped around both trunks up here to 01:11 keep the tree from splitting right there 01:13 which was which is what it was doing. 01:15 this piece of it was about to fall like 01:17 completely down. Um, so anyway, so as a 01:21 now that there are four pieces of it 01:23 total, the total strength uh the braking 01:25 strength up there is 80,000 lb. So that 01:28 can hold 80,000 lb before breaking up 01:31 here. The tree is now happy. It's not 01:33 being choked off. The very poor job they 01:36 did right here is uh, you know, has now 01:39 been eradicated. The tree is now happy. 01:41 And again, it's fun being able to go 01:43 online and buy literally anything I want 01:45 because Bitcoin gives you financial 01:47 freedom. And when you have financial 01:48 freedom, I mean, it doesn't mean you can 01:49 do stupid stuff, but it does mean you 01:51 can go online and buy any random thing, 01:53 regardless of the price to create a uh 01:56 opportunity to create an 80,000lb 01:59 breaking strength uh tree retaining 02:01 system that you just feel like doing on 02:04 a property, a random property in 02:06 Mississippi, because you like half the 02:08 tree and half of it's about to die or 02:10 fall and you don't want it to. So, you 02:12 feel like you just fix it yourself. Now, 02:14 I also have the financial freedom. I 02:16 could have just paid another tree crew 02:18 to come and do it right, but the last 02:20 one did it wrong and I wanted to do it 02:21 myself and it was fun. And so anyway, 02:23 I'm wearing this insane ultra safe 02:26 harness that I also bought online and 02:29 clipped in all the way up that safety 02:30 rope so that when I was working way up 02:33 there, right up there where the sun is, 02:35 I if I fell, nothing bad would happen. 02:37 Anyway, um this is just a tiny example 02:40 of I mean financial freedom is great. 02:42 It's just great to be able to buy what 02:45 you need when you need it without having 02:47 to, you know, it's not that I never look 02:49 at price. If something's insane, I don't 02:51 do stupid stuff. But basically, as long 02:53 as something's not completely stupid, I 02:55 can automatically afford it. And I can 02:57 afford it because I bought a bunch of 02:58 Bitcoin over the years, it's appreciated 03:01 enough in value that I have financial 03:03 freedom that I would never have had. And 03:06 Bitcoin's amazing. And, you know, 03:08 financial freedom is amazing and I love 03:10 it. And this morning my paycheck hit and 03:12 the very first thing I did is I bought 03:14 100% of it with Bitcoin. I mean the 03:16 whole paycheck all Bitcoin on river 03:19 100%. And that's what I do when my 03:22 paycheck hits is I buy Bitcoin no matter 03:24 what the price because in the future 03:26 when I buy Bitcoin this morning at 03:28 116,000 per coin someday in the future 03:31 at 300,000 500,000 or a million dollars 03:33 per coin I will be buying crazy stuff 03:35 like this more that I can do random 03:37 projects. I can do whatever I want and 03:39 it's just life is more fun to live that 03:42 way. In addition to you can be 03:44 incredibly generous. My wife and I give 03:46 away the majority of our wealth to all a 03:49 ton of things we care about and you know 03:51 we can do that because we have the the 03:53 wealth and financial freedom to do that. 03:55 Um and Bitcoin has given us that. So 03:58 anyway, fun time projects and feels 04:01 great to do a project and fix something, 04:03 redeem a little part of God's creation, 04:05 make the world a better
