What I’m BUILDING to educate and onboard people to bitcoin in 2026!

Here is what I am building to educate and onboard people to Bitcoin in 2026. Uh, first off, I've not done as many videos lately. Uh, and part of that is my family and I were sick a week or two back, and it took a few days to get over that, and it's hard to record Bitcoin videos when you're sick. Second, my daughter broke her ankle quite badly about three uh about 10 days ago. She broke the ankle bones in three different places and like pulled or sprained or strained a ligament. Anyway, it was quite bad and so it's taken a lot of time with my wife and I to uh nurse her back to health. She's doing a little better. Uh but it's going to be a long road to recovery. So obviously hard to do Bitcoin videos when you're running around town going to the pharmacist and you know operating on suboptimal amounts of sleep. Uh but anyway, I have been building nonetheless. And so for 2026, I've got about five major initiatives that I'm either helping, supporting, financing, or uh or actively doing to advance Bitcoin. So, you may be wondering, for example, in the recent price dips, you know, why is Joel not recording 10 videos a day holding your hand through the price dips? And the answer is because I'm working on major initiatives that will educate and onboard people to Bitcoin. Just like back in the 2022 bare market, there were people like Michael Sailor who were very helpful for me to understand what was going on, but at the same time, he was building. So, he did not have every minute of every day. And I remember sometimes the price would dip in 2022 and I'd be thinking, "Where's Michael Sailor? Uh, I need him to hold my hand." And the truth is, no, he's like building. And when you're building, you don't have as much time to hold people's hands. And uh I'm very thankful for everything Michael Sailor was building in 2022. and I'm glad he allocated his time accordingly. So, here's some of the big things I'm working on. The biggest thing is a major effort to understand the messaging of Bitcoin. Why is it that people adopt Bitcoin? What is their hesitancy to adopt Bitcoin? What are their concerns? And all of that can be determined through a combination of focus groups, message testing, polling, market research, market uh message research, all of those things. So, I am embarking and it's been in the works for the last couple months now on a major effort to understand Bitcoin adoption in the United States. What holds people back? What is it that they need to understand about Bitcoin to adopt it? Uh what they currently don't understand, what they misunderstand. Anyway, it's a multi00,000 massive undertaking that is a combination of market research, message research, message testing, polling, focus groups, follow-up message testing, all of that to again try to understand what it takes to unlock people's understanding of Bitcoin. So, that is the biggest project happening right now. Also, there's a bunch of media resources that me and others are working on that will support that effort where we attempt to deliver the messages that uh are most effective at helping people understand and on board and educate themselves about Bitcoin, how do we get that message to those people? So, that is a major multi00,000 effort, not only to figure out what the message is, but then to message it effectively uh to the masses. Uh then there is more localized efforts. Uh I'm working with and helping fund Alli Shaw who's doing a bunch of Bitcoin education and onboarding for young people and some international outreach. I'm working uh closely and helping fund Joy Lavali who's doing uh education and onboarding for Bitcoin to uh people in the professional trades uh and people who work in uh you know electricians and plumbing and uh welding and you know just all of the uh the professional trades that keep the world going round and there's a lot of unique things that Bitcoin is a good fit for in that world and uh Joy Levali lives deep in that world. So, I am super excited for all of the things I'm working on with a bunch of different people. Uh, some of which for various reasons are confidential at this point, but will be made public at some point. Uh, but it would be names you recognize. Uh, so anyway, I'm super excited about all of that. So, the whole time that Bitcoin's price has been dipping and recovering and down to $60,000, freaking everybody out, instead of being freaked out, I have been building, building, building, building building, building building, raising the many hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be required to do all of these projects effectively, uh, getting together and assisting with proposals and, uh, you know, aligning all the resources, interviewing people, interviewing pollsters and focus groups and message testing resources and all of that. Anyway, that's been most of December and January, February, and so far in March has been putting all of those pieces together so that we can roll out throughout 2026 some major initiatives that will advance and educate and onboard people to Bitcoin. So, that's super exciting and I figured I'd give you a quick update on that. One, in case you've been wondering what have I been up to the last couple months, um the answer is I've been working on major long-term Bitcoin education and onboarding initiatives. Um, and then second, why have there not been as many videos the last two weeks? And the answer is, well, a, I was sick, and B, other people in my family were sick, and C, my daughter broke her ankle. And that'll take the wind out of anybody's sales who has already a lot going on and is doing education and onboarding in their spare time. When your spare time drops to zero, it's hard to keep doing that. But anyway, lots of exciting stuff coming in 2026. Hopefully $60,000 was the bottom of this Bitcoin bare market. And that already happened back on February 5th. So hopefully we're however long this is. Hopefully we're a month and 10 days. Uh what is that? Five, six weeks. Hopefully we're five or six weeks past the uh the the bottom of this bare market, which means we are in a new bull market. Uh again, per the two videos I just did, that could not be the case. There is a 40% chance we go revisit the low 60s uh or even slightly below 60,000. I don't think it's likely. It could happen. If it does happen, I don't think we'll be down there very long, but who knows? Nobody literally nobody knows. I don't know. Michael Sailor doesn't know. God himself is the only person that knows what is going to happen in the future. And none of us are him. So that means we just have to buy as much Bitcoin as we can and hold on to it for as long as conceivably possible because that's all we can do. But all these initiatives are super exciting. Uh each of them in their own way will help educate and onboard the next generation of Bitcoiners thereby un unleashing and freeing them from the shackles of fiat currency that keep them chained to a uh a neverending treadmill that's always moving you backwards which is what governmentisssued which is called fiat made up out of thin air currency like the US dollar is doing to people. So, I hope to unchain and unleash through all these initiatives and I'm super excited about them and they're taking a ton of time, ton of energy, ton of money, uh, and all I believe very much worth it and all very much worth doing right now. As the famous saying goes, uh, bare markets are for builders. That means the best time to be building things is in a bare market, which means then you can spread your wings and fly in the bull market, which is the up market that always follows a bare market. Uh, so what you don't want to do in a bare market is shut down, stop paying attention, unplug, or worst of all, sell your Bitcoin. What you want to be doing in a bare market is building building your Bitcoin position, acquiring as much Bitcoin as you possibly can, learning as much about Bitcoin as you possibly can. Bare markets are for builders and Bitcoin and builders are the people who end up being the wealthiest uh around the world in Bitcoin terms and in non- Bitcoin terms. So, that's where we are. We're hopefully emerging from this bare market. Bare markets are for builders. Lots of exciting stuff in the pipeline for 2026. And I will try to record as many videos as I can and put out as much other content as I can while keeping these major initiatives going with lots of exciting stuff in the queue. So, if I can do anything for you, let me know. I'm always here to serve. Thanks, everyone.
