My Wife - Becs. Her Opinion on Bitcoin - Interview
03/30/25 • 26 min
In this special episode, I sit down with my wife, Becs, for a candid conversation about Bitcoin—why she lets me put all our savings into it, what she remembers about my early obsession with it, and whether we should go as far as selling our flat to buy more. We dive into the deeper questions too, like whether government adoption of Bitcoin could undermine its original mission to empower the unbanked and give financial access to the poor. It's a mix of personal reflection, philosophy, and practical concerns—tune in for an honest look at how Bitcoin impacts our family and the bigger picture.

Why GenZ's and Millennials Can’t Afford a House (And What Inflation’s Got to Do With It)
In this episode, we explore how inflation acts as a hidden tax, making it harder for younger generations to buy homes.
We discuss how, even when general inflation seems low, housing prices have soared, outpacing wage growth and putting homeownership out of reach for many.
Using simple examples, we show how traditional savings lose value over time, while alternatives like Bitcoin might offer better protection against inflation.
We compare how a £20,000 investment in Bitcoin over the past eight years stacks up against cash savings and UK stocks, highlighting Bitcoin's potential as a store of value.
Tune in to learn about these trends and consider strategies to protect and grow your wealth in the face of rising living costs.

Why Saving In A Bank Is Pretty Useless (And What to Do Instead)
🎙️ Bitcoin For Everyone — Episode: How to Get Rich (It’s Not Earning More Money)
In this episode, we break the myth that getting rich starts with earning more. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Instead, we dig into what really sets financially secure people apart—and it has way more to do with discipline, mindset, and long-term vision than hitting a high income bracket.
🧠 Key Takeaways:
1. Before You Invest, Fix Your Financial Foundation
- Pay off your credit card debts and overdrafts—ASAP.
- If your house or rental is too expensive, move.
- Ditch the car you can't afford. Buy a cheap one—or better yet, go without.
- A fancy car doesn’t equal wealth. A bad car doesn’t equal poverty.
2. Understand the Difference: Saving vs. Investing
- Saving is setting aside cash for later.
- Investing is using that cash to grow your wealth through assets like stocks or Bitcoin.
3. My Personal Money Flow (When I Get Paid):
- 25% → Tax
- 10% → Investment
- 10% → Giving
- 5% → Kids' Savings
- 50% → Living expenses
This isn’t what I do because I’m rich. It’s what I did to become rich. Build the habit first—the money follows.
4. Simulated Portfolio Growth Over 10 Years (Saving £1,000/year):
- 💰 Cash Only: ~£10,462
- 📈 100% Stocks (50% US, 50% EU): ~£14,835
- ₿ Bitcoin + Stocks (20% BTC, 40% US, 40% EU): ~£24,466
Even with a Bitcoin crash simulation (losing 30% per year for 5 years), the BTC portfolio still outperformed cash: ~£12,644
5. Time Horizon is Everything
- Stop living for the next dopamine hit.
- Don’t let TikTok convince you that you should be flying private in your 20s.
- You don’t have a money problem—you have a mindset problem.
