    EP98: Weekend at Bernie's

    We’ve always wanted to do an “Orange Pill Live” episode, to test our abilities in answering the questions of a precoiner and to see if (during the course of a podcast) we could convince someone to buy themselves their first Bitcoin.  That was the intention of this episode, but in the time it’s taken us to schedule the pod with Bernie, he’d already got himself off zero!  However, Bernie is Brendo’s mate, so we thought we’d go ahead with the call and press record anyway, and only publish it if we thought it might help someone out there.  It turns out, Bernie has gone from zero to well down the road of hero in 2 short months, but he gave us a great perspective on the issues and questions a new Bitcoiner has right now.    We discuss:  Bulked-up Brendo  “Crypto” misconceptions  What made Bernie take the first step into Bitcoin  The challenge of buying a home and deposit requirements  University (HECS) debt indexation  Lack of government support, lies about inflation, stimulus cheques, UBI and something having changed  Trying to outrun inflation  Savings accounts, stocks, risk taking and having a go  What Bernie did practically when he decided to buy some Bitcoin  Hot and Cold wallets  Understanding a non-physical asset  Personal responsibility, 2FA and key storage  Steel Seedplates  Speaking in Bitcoin or Sats  The gradually then suddenly event horizon  Volatility, risk taking and bag pumping  Rewards programmes  Why does Bitcoin crash and is it a buying opportunity  Murrurundi golf    Pod Shout-outs  HardBlock  https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/hats     The Bitcoin Adviser (Peter Dunworth)  *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact    Bitcoin Bush Bash  http://bitcoinbushbash.info/       Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com

    EP97: Dunworth Squared

    *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact    If you’ve not heard Peter Dunworth’s valuation model for Bitcoin (frankly, what are you doing with your life), go back and listen to episodes 70 and 77, but although he’s been spruiking it all over town and asking someone to challenge it, no one has...until now.  We, completely unfairly invited Pete back on under false pretences and then hit him with “his nemesis waiting in the green room”.  We wanted to see if we could shake his conviction or rattle his composure.  Listen to find out if we could.  Settle in with a coffee. This is long one.  We discuss:    Exponential rise of Bitcoin and fall of Fiat  Positioning and wealth preservation  The distinction between risk and volatility  Resistance to change  The opportunity of buying in a SMSF  The importance of mobile  Kids with Bitcoin wallets  Never needing a bank account  Blackrock, ETF’s and what does Larry Fink  Liquidity drain  Client’s will demand Bitcoin exposure from their financial adviser  Banking restrictions  Why does the bull run ever stop and the point of no return  Taking profit, a risk on behaviour  What happens when AI and the machines start draining liquidity  Why ransomware only ever wants Bitcoin  Uber  ELI5 and ELI2  The Bitcoin Adviser  Starved of original thought  Unit bias  Moving towards self-actualisation  Lambos and Yachts  Holy Moly and It’s a Knockout  An App Store for Keys    Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/MichaelDunwort1   https://twitter.com/wavlake   https://twitter.com/w_s_bitcoin   https://twitter.com/luke_broyles   https://twitter.com/BTCSchellingPt   https://twitter.com/Meta_Trav   https://twitter.com/AndyBTCAdviser   https://twitter.com/JakeBTCAdviser   https://twitter.com/Rob1Ham       *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact     Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com

    EP93: Life’s a Breez with Ivan Makedonski
