Why Main Street Needs Bitcoin Before Wall Street Takes Over

00:01 Bitcoin is for everyone, but Wall Street 00:03 is going to catch up to Main Street and 00:06 surpass Main Street if Main Street 00:08 doesn't wake up. If there's anything I 00:11 could do to prevent that that I'm not 00:13 already doing, please let me know. 00:15 Bitcoin is the first real opportunity 00:18 that is available to everyone. Everyone 00:20 in the world has the ability to convert 00:22 their money in their local currency to 00:24 Bitcoin from money that anyone in the 00:27 world can make more of to money that 00:28 nobody in the world can make more of. 00:30 It's the first thing that's like that. 00:31 The average person around the world 00:33 cannot invest in Amazon or Apple or 00:35 Tesla or any stocks. They have access to 00:38 their local currency and if they have a 00:40 lot of it, maybe they can buy some real 00:42 estate. But the average person really, 00:44 Bitcoin is the first thing in the world 00:47 that was a ticket out of poverty, a 00:49 ticket to sound money, a ticket to an 00:51 asset that they can store up for the 00:54 long haul. For a long time, for I would 00:56 say the first 10 years of Bitcoin's 00:58 life, Bitcoin's been around 17 years 00:59 now, it was just entirely individuals. 01:02 Like almost nobody on Wall Street was 01:04 buying Bitcoin. Companies were not 01:06 buying Bitcoin. Like really for 10 solid 01:09 years, it was just individuals, which 01:11 was fantastic. Good for them. That's 01:13 amazing. between 2019, the 10-year mark 01:16 of Bitcoin, and today, that has started 01:20 to flip pretty significantly where Main 01:22 Street is still adopting Bitcoin very 01:25 slowly. But Wall Street has figured out, 01:27 as they often do, that mass adoption is 01:30 coming and Wall Street is trying to 01:32 frontrun that mass adoption, which makes 01:35 me sad. I want Main Street to have all 01:38 the Bitcoin. I want normal average 01:40 people to have all the Bitcoin. There's 01:42 no benefit in my world with people on 01:45 Wall Street having more Bitcoin. The 01:46 people on Wall Street already have the 01:48 wealth. There's no reason they need more 01:50 wealth. Now, I don't hold it against 01:52 them. I mean, it's a free market system. 01:53 I believe in voluntary association, 01:56 voluntary interaction, free market 01:58 system. If somebody on Wall Street is 01:59 smarter and they figure out Bitcoin is 02:01 the future faster than somebody on Main 02:03 Street, they have every right to do that 02:05 and good for them. But that's not how I 02:07 wish the adoption would happen. And if 02:10 you if somebody said, Joel, paint the 02:12 most likely scenario that things don't 02:15 turn out the way you wanted, my answer 02:18 would not be that the government somehow 02:20 bans Bitcoin, which is not going to 02:21 happen, or that quantum computers 02:23 somehow causes a problem, which again is 02:26 not going to happen. Like there's all 02:27 these things that I really think are 02:29 kind of irrelevant. I think the most 02:31 likely undesired outcome for Bitcoin is 02:35 that it's adopted worldwide by everyone. 02:38 But the wealthy figure it out first. The 02:42 people on Wall Street figure it out 02:43 first. The companies figure it out 02:46 first. And Main Street, Main Street gets 02:48 left behind. Now, in every other 02:50 scenario, it makes sense why Main Street 02:53 got left behind. Because if you wanted 02:55 to invest in Amazon or Tesla or Apple or 02:58 Facebook, you could not do that until 03:01 they went public. So, a huge amount of 03:03 wealth was created before they went 03:05 public. Only after they went public was 03:08 the average person able to invest in 03:10 those things. So, Bitcoin is the first 03:13 thing where literally anyone in the 03:15 world could invest in it. And they could 03:17 have invested in it for years before 03:20 Wall Street showed up. Now, it's still 03:22 not too late. The vast majority of 03:24 people on Wall Street still have not 03:26 adopted Bitcoin. And the vast majority 03:28 of people on Main Street still have not 03:29 adopted Bitcoin. But that the window of 03:33 opportunity is closing with each passing 03:36 month and each passing year. The people 03:38 on Wall Street are figuring it out 03:40 faster than the people on on Main Street 03:42 because again for about 10 years it was 03:44 just individuals. But for the last 6 03:46 years, Wall Street has been 03:48 accelerating. Main Street is still 03:50 figuring out, you know, which way is up 03:52 and what is Bitcoin. And when I talk to 03:54 people who are exposed to Bitcoin for 03:56 the first time, it's a long process, 03:58 right? I mean, they got to figure it 03:59 out. and they don't have the incentive 04:02 of people on Wall Street that they got 04:03 analysts sitting around waiting for 04:05 something to do and all you got to do is 04:06 say, "Hey, go analyze this thing and 04:09 come back and tell me all about it." The 04:10 average person has to watch YouTube 04:12 videos, ask chat GPT, Google it. You got 04:16 to figure it out. Um, and there's nobody 04:18 there's no technical analyst sitting on 04:20 Wall Street waiting for to to coach Main 04:23 Street step by step. Now, I try to do 04:26 what I can with everybody that I can 04:28 reach on Facebook and YouTube and 04:29 everywhere else. Um, and right now, I 04:32 mean, one of the reasons I decided to 04:33 record this video is I want to 04:37 educate and onboard as many people as 04:39 possible to Bitcoin and as fast as 04:42 possible because I know with each 04:44 passing day, week, month, and year, it 04:47 the window of opportunity closes for 04:48 Main Street. Wall Street's got so much 04:50 money that they're going to buy a bunch 04:52 of Bitcoin no matter what. Main Street 04:54 doesn't. The more the higher the price 04:55 of Bitcoin goes, the harder it will be 04:58 for people to get to one Bitcoin, the 04:59 harder it will be to get to half a 05:01 Bitcoin, the harder it will be to get to 05:02 a quarter of a Bitcoin, the harder it'll 05:04 be to get to a tenth of a Bitcoin. All 05:06 of those hurdles get harder for Main 05:08 Street the longer they wait to adopt. 05:10 Versus Wall Street, they generally are 05:12 making enough money that they can afford 05:14 to buy Bitcoin later. Same with rich 05:16 people with a lot of wealth. They can 05:17 afford to buy Bitcoin later. People 05:19 without a lot of wealth need to get on 05:21 the bus as soon as possible. So, right 05:23 now, this year in 2025, I have averaged 05:27 on average, I'm spending about $25,000 05:30 a month on efforts to educate and 05:34 onboard people to Bitcoin. That's just 05:36 education and onboarding people to 05:38 Bitcoin. That's it. That's not all of my 05:40 other philanthropic efforts. That's not 05:42 personal expenses. That's just efforts 05:45 that are charitable, nonprofit efforts 05:48 to educate and onboard people to 05:50 Bitcoin. And that that's about $25,000 05:53 per month so far in 2025. Now, a bunch 05:56 of people have bought a bunch of Bitcoin 05:57 based on my efforts to educate and 05:59 onboard people, but as a percentage of 06:01 all of the people that are friends of of 06:03 mine on Facebook, it's a small percent. 06:06 As a percentage of everybody that ever 06:08 sees my posts, it's a small percent. So, 06:11 my hope is I really wish Main Street 06:14 would get with the program. I have been 06:16 screaming from the rooftops for at least 06:19 the last three years. Please adopt 06:21 Bitcoin. Please adopt Bitcoin. You can 06:23 frontr run Wall Street. You can frontr 06:27 run Wall Street. But you got to get with 06:29 the program. I don't care how busy you 06:31 are. Get on Chad GPT and ask it what is 06:34 Bitcoin and then just keep asking 06:36 questions until you get it. Get on 06:38 YouTube and type what is Bitcoin and 06:40 keep asking questions until you get it. 06:43 Get on Google, whatever it takes, 06:45 however you learn, figure out what is 06:48 Bitcoin, how does it work, and how do 06:50 you get some, and how do you get as much 06:51 as you possibly can. My recommendation 06:53 is the same. Buy it on River. R I 06:56 Ver.com. 06:58 Link your bank account to River. Buy as 06:60 much Bitcoin as you can. That's my 07:02 advice. That's the easiest way to 07:03 onboard. If you want $100 of free 07:06 Bitcoin, message me on Facebook 07:08 Messenger. River100. $100. River space 07:12 dollar sign one 0. If you want $100 on 07:16 River, I will send you a $100 of my 07:18 Bitcoin. Not like charitable donation 07:20 Bitcoin, but like my hard-earned 07:23 Bitcoin, I will send you a $100 of my 07:25 very own hard hard-earned Bitcoin that I 07:28 could use for anything. I will send that 07:30 to you. If you message me on Facebook 07:32 Messenger, River $100, I will send you 07:35 $100 of free Bitcoin on River, which is 07:37 a great way to start out if you're just 07:39 starting out for the first time and 07:41 you're not sure how to get Bitcoin and 07:42 how to set it up and how to do it right. 07:44 If I send you a link to $100 of free 07:46 Bitcoin on River, it guides you through 07:48 the process of creating an account and 07:49 waiting for you on the other side is 07:51 $100 of free Bitcoin. So, I'm happy to 07:54 provide that to anybody if you don't 07:55 already have $100 of free Bitcoin on 07:58 River. happy to send that your way. If 08:01 you're sitting on a ton of Bitcoin, I'm 08:02 not trying to just give you more Bitcoin 08:04 for no reason. I'm trying to onboard 08:06 people that are new. So, if you are new 08:07 to Bitcoin or if you don't have a River 08:09 account or if you have a small amount of 08:12 Bitcoin or less than $100 of Bitcoin, 08:14 message me river $100 and I will send 08:16 you $100 of free Bitcoin on River to 08:18 help get you started. I'm doing 08:20 everything I can. If there's anything I 08:21 could possibly be doing, I am attempting 08:24 to shout from the rooftops. I'm doing 08:26 everything I can conceivably think of to 08:28 do to educate and onboard people to 08:31 Bitcoin. But if you can think of 08:32 something I'm not doing to educate and 08:34 onboard people to Bitcoin, please let me 08:36 know because the window of opportunity 08:39 is closing for Main Street. It is not 08:41 closed yet. The window of opportunity is 08:44 closing for Main Street. It's not 08:45 closed, but it's not going to stay open 08:47 forever. And the more time that goes by, 08:50 the harder it is for Main Street to 08:52 frontr run Wall Street. So, please 08:54 everybody get with the program, learn 08:56 about Bitcoin, and get as much Bitcoin 08:58 as you can. And I'm here to help you and 09:00 be your sherpa and guide you.
