Life can be good on a bitcoin standard. If this vignette doesn’t inspire you, I’m not sure what will

00:03 You know, I have tried basically 00:05 everything to get people to move over to 00:07 a Bitcoin standard, to buy their first 00:09 Bitcoin, if they own Bitcoin, to buy 00:12 more Bitcoin because it's so 00:14 transformational in the impact it could 00:16 have on your life is so material. So, I 00:19 wanted to paint a picture of what life 00:21 might be like on a Bitcoin standard. Uh, 00:24 this is inspired by true events, but I'm 00:26 not going to, you know, tell a specific 00:28 story. I just want to paint a picture of 00:31 what life on the Bitcoin standard could 00:33 look like. And um and you know, maybe 00:37 it's inspiring to you. Maybe you'll 00:38 think, "Hey, some of that might be 00:41 things that would be good for me or my 00:43 family." And that'd be great. Okay, so 00:45 picture this. Um you wake up and you're 00:49 mostly caught up on your email. So you 00:50 finalize details of a ski trip that 00:53 otherwise you really couldn't afford if 00:54 you were not living on a Bitcoin 00:56 standard. So, you know, that's fun. uh 00:58 you get you get all your work caught up, 01:00 you're ready to go, all of that. You you 01:02 wrap up and you think, "Okay, it's the 01:04 end of the workday. You know, 01:05 everybody's settled, every the kids have 01:07 their own activities going on. Uh I'm 01:09 going to go watch a movie." Uh so, you 01:12 decide you're going to go watch a movie. 01:13 So, you get in your car, which drives 01:15 you there because on a Bitcoin standard, 01:17 you feel like you can afford a car that 01:19 drives you there. Uh on a bit on a not 01:21 Bitcoin standard, you couldn't feel 01:23 comfortable buying a car that buys you 01:25 there. But on a Bitcoin standard, you 01:27 feel good enough about your finances 01:29 that you get in your car and your car 01:31 drives you to the movie theater. So 01:33 there you are. Walk into the movie 01:34 theater, you got your tickets. Now the 01:36 tickets are comparatively cheap. It's 01:38 like 11 bucks, but um you know, in the 01:41 evening it's like 17 bucks, but the 01:43 Bitcoin you're buying those tickets with 01:44 cost you like a dollar. So, you know, it 01:47 doesn't matter that much. So you buy a 01:49 ticket and you buy snacks. And of 01:51 course, the snacks in 2025 US terms are 01:54 ridiculous. $8, $11, you know, $16, I 01:58 don't know, ridiculous prices. But 01:59 again, all of the Bitcoin that you use 02:01 to buy or the US dollars you use to buy 02:04 the Bitcoin when you bought it a couple, 02:06 you know, two years, three years, or 02:08 eight years ago, you know, you paid like 02:10 a dollar or two or three for all the 02:12 money you buy with snacks. So, you get 02:15 your snacks. You know, at this point, 02:17 again, you're using Bitcoin that you've 02:18 only spent a few dollars for. So it it 02:20 feels like you're shopping in 1950s 02:23 price terms where everything's just 02:25 radically on sale. So anyway, you go you 02:28 sit down in the movie and you know the 02:30 movie scene opens and you know the the 02:33 it opens over a picture of New York and 02:35 you think, "Hey, I was just there." You 02:38 know, maybe you have a kid who wants to 02:40 watch Yankees games and uh so you took 02:43 your kid to go watch Yankees games in 02:45 New York because you felt like you could 02:47 afford that on a Bitcoin standard. And 02:49 not that you couldn't if you're not on a 02:51 Bitcoin standard, but it's a lot more 02:53 breathing room and a lot easier to 02:56 afford it on a Bitcoin standard. So, you 02:57 felt good about going to New York to 02:59 watch a few Yankees games uh because on 03:02 a Bitcoin standard, you felt like you 03:03 could afford it and maybe otherwise you 03:05 didn't. So anyway, movie opens up, the 03:08 uh the scene is is New York, you know, 03:10 they do all their stuff in New York and 03:12 then, you know, the scene changes and 03:14 they're going to Prague of all places. 03:16 And you think, wait a second, I was just 03:18 in Prague. You know, maybe your company 03:20 sent you there. And maybe while you were 03:22 in Prague, you decided to take one of 03:24 your kids along. And that would have 03:26 been a lot less affordable if you're not 03:28 on a Bitcoin standard. And maybe you 03:30 want to give uh your your child a 03:32 special experience going on a work trip 03:35 with their father. So you fly business 03:38 class so that your kid can enjoy the 03:40 amazing, you know, first class 03:42 experience of your own cubby and the 03:44 seat that lays flat and all of that 03:46 stuff. And you're thinking the whole 03:47 time, I can only afford this because I'm 03:49 living on a Bitcoin standard. Otherwise, 03:51 we we back in the back of the plane in 03:54 coach because we just really couldn't 03:57 feel good about our finances doing this 03:59 if unless we were on a Bitcoin standard. 04:01 So anyway, there you go. And you know, 04:04 you're sitting down, you're watching the 04:05 movie, and you're thinking, even though 04:06 you're the literally the only person in 04:08 the theater, you like look around, 04:10 there's not another soul in the entire 04:12 theater. You think, you know what, the 04:14 seat next to my seat is actually 04:16 perfectly centered in this in the 04:17 theater. If I move one seat over, even 04:20 though there's not a single person in 04:22 the entire theater, I risk somebody 04:24 walking in halfway through saying, "Hey, 04:25 that's my seat." And so, again, because 04:28 you're living on a Bitcoin standard, you 04:30 the seat next to your seat because 04:32 again, it's $11, but you you the the 04:34 Bitcoin you bought that's going to pay 04:36 for that $1 seat cost you like $1. And 04:39 so, again, on a on a Bitcoin standard, 04:41 you feel like I can afford that and 04:44 avoid an awkward interaction with 04:45 somebody who randomly buys the seat next 04:47 to the seat. you're sitting in. So, you 04:49 buy a second seat and you move over one 04:51 so that you're perfectly situated in the 04:53 theater all by yourself with everything 04:56 just right and you eat your snacks which 04:58 are heavily discounted. You sit in your 04:60 second seat, which was heavily 05:01 discounted, and you're you feel like 05:04 you're caught up with what you got to do 05:05 professionally again because you've got 05:08 the breathing room financially to 05:10 outsource what needs to be outsourced, 05:12 to uh optimize what needs to be 05:14 optimized in a world that would be hard 05:17 to do that on finances that were not 05:20 living on a Bitcoin standard. So anyway, 05:22 you watch the movie, you know, it's a 05:23 new Keano Reeves, you know, movie that's 05:26 a knockoff of uh, you know, that's a 05:28 knockoff of the John Wick series. 05:30 Anyway, you watch it, it's pretty good. 05:32 It's fun. And, uh, you know, you get you 05:34 walk out of the theater, you get back in 05:36 your car, and your car drives you home 05:39 because you have a car that on a Bitcoin 05:41 standard, you feel like you can afford 05:43 to to to be in a car that drives you 05:45 home. And you also don't feel like 05:48 you're having to sacrifice everything to 05:49 do that. you still have the finances to 05:52 change the world. You still have the 05:53 finances to fund all of the nonprofits 05:56 that you know you've historically funded 05:59 and maybe you put your, you know, 06:02 charitable giving funds in Bitcoin that 06:04 you plan to give away long term and 06:06 maybe those are higher than they've ever 06:08 been. So, you're funding stuff at a 06:10 higher level financially. you know, 06:12 Christian missions and church and uh 06:15 nonprofits and all of the things you're 06:17 passionate and you care about, you're 06:18 funding those at a higher level than 06:19 you've ever funded them before because 06:21 you can because on a Bitcoin standard, 06:24 you have the flexibility and freedom to 06:26 do that that you've never had before. 06:28 All of those things are powerful. All of 06:30 those things involve living life with 06:33 margin. Um having space in your life to 06:37 do the things you want to do that 06:38 improve the lives of you and your 06:40 family. And you can do that because you 06:43 made the decision to live on a Bitcoin 06:46 standard and convert a large percentage 06:49 or in my case 100% of your assets to 06:52 Bitcoin and you've been patient enough 06:54 that those assets have appreciated 06:57 enough that you've got the breathing 06:59 room to do all of the things I'm talking 07:02 about on that video. So, I'm not going 07:04 to tell you if that's like a real story, 07:06 if that like that just happened to me 07:08 this week. I'm not going to go into 07:10 that. I'm saying that is what life might 07:12 be like on a Bitcoin standard. That is 07:14 what financial freedom could look like. 07:17 It could look like living in a world 07:19 where your family loves you. You love 07:21 your world. Uh your family, you love 07:23 your professional world. All of that is 07:26 you're in a world where the human 07:27 relationships are working. Um your 07:30 finances are working. All of that is 07:33 healthy. and you have the breathing room 07:35 to do fun things, but also change the 07:38 world and do things you're passionate 07:39 about and you care deeply about. And 07:41 sometimes in in you're in that when 07:43 you're in that world, you might be 07:45 sitting in a car that's driving itself 07:47 thinking, I wish more people had that 07:50 experience. And you might be inspired if 07:54 you think, I wish more people had an 07:56 experience that you have just had that 07:58 you might record a video encouraging 08:00 people to buy Bitcoin because it is the 08:04 la the life raft because it is the 08:06 escape belt to financial freedom because 08:09 it is the back door of the financial 08:11 system that lets you escape the 08:14 insanity. And uh that's what it is. And 08:17 if you have the patience and the hard 08:19 work to accumulate the wealth that can 08:22 be stored in Bitcoin, Bitcoin can be 08:24 very good to you with that wealth. Um, 08:27 so that's what life might look like, 08:30 could look like, maybe does look like on 08:33 a Bitcoin standard when you're patient 08:35 and you're hardworking and you've 08:36 accumulated assets and you're living 08:39 with a substantial or in my case all of 08:42 your assets in Bitcoin. That's what it 08:44 might look like. Not saying it will. I'm 08:46 not making any promises. I'm just saying 08:48 that's a real world picture of what it 08:50 could be. And I hope that's inspiring. 08:53 You know, I hope people buy more Bitcoin 08:55 because as amazing if Bitcoin is and as 08:58 assured as I am that one day it'll be 09:01 worth substantially worth more than a 09:03 million dollars. The whole world seems 09:05 to be asleep. Nobody seems to be 09:07 listening. Nobody seems to be paying 09:08 attention. You know, Bitcoin jumps 4% in 09:11 the last 24 hours. Everybody's asleep. 09:13 Everybody's asleep at the switch. 09:15 Nobody's nobody seems to care. Um, 09:17 Bitcoin's going to go to a million 09:19 dollars. It's going to bore everybody to 09:20 a million dollars. And at a million 09:23 dollars of Bitcoin, everybody's going to 09:24 feel just like they do right now. 09:26 They're going to say, "Well, you know, I 09:28 heard about it, but I, you know, didn't 09:29 take it seriously, didn't look into it, 09:31 and now it's like a million a coin, so 09:33 they're feel going to feel like they 09:34 were late." Um, here we are at like 109. 09:38 And all the people that feel the way 09:40 they do right now at 109 are going to 09:42 feel the exact same way. a million 09:44 dollars of Bitcoin, they're going to 09:46 feel the exact same way at $3 million of 09:48 Bitcoin. Here we are. So hopefully that 09:51 story is inspiring. Um, I'm just trying 09:54 everything. I'm trying I'm throwing 09:56 spaghetti at the wall here. Trying every 09:58 conceivable thing to get people to take 10:00 Bitcoin seriously and to enable them to 10:04 get the financial freedom that Bitcoin 10:06 can can provide and the way it has 10:09 provided for me and that it could 10:11 provide for you. I'm just trying 10:14 everything to get people off the fence, 10:16 get them off of zero, and uh unleash the 10:19 potential of financial freedom that 10:21 Bitcoin provides in a way that literally 10:23 nothing else in the world does right 10:25 now. So, have a great evening everyone. 10:27 Thanks,
