    Tony Yazbeck: The Ship Is Sinking & Bitcoin is Your Life Raft

    In this episode of The ZT Podcast, I'm joined by Tony Yazbeck, founder of The Bitcoin Way, one of the world's leading Bitcoin education and self-custody coaching companies. Tony's personal experience with the financial crisis in Lebanon fundamentally changed his understanding of money, financial freedom and the importance of having complete control over your wealth. And Tony believes that today's cost of living crisis and growing geopolitical tension could lead to a "Lebanon Moment" for many western nations too. Today, his mission is to help people around the world understand why Bitcoin is an escape hatch from a broken monetary system. And just as importantly, why Bitcoiners must secure their holdings properly to ensure greater financial independence and sovereignty. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore some of the biggest questions facing Bitcoin and the people who own it. In this episode, we discuss: 🔸 Has Bitcoin Lost Its Way? — From recent security concerns and protocol debates to the growing influence of Wall Street, institutions and governments. Are these developments strengthening Bitcoin or threatening its original purpose? 🔸 Bitcoin as an Escape Hatch — Could Western nations eventually experience financial crises similar to Lebanon? What role could Bitcoin play in protecting individuals and families? 🔸 Bitcoin as Money — Will Bitcoin eventually fulfil its original vision as peer-to-peer electronic cash? What needs to change before spending Bitcoin becomes commonplace? 🔸 The Importance of Self-Custody — Why controlling your private keys matters, where beginners should start and how to progress towards a more secure Bitcoin setup. 🔸 Hot Wallets, Cold Storage, Nodes & Multisig — Understanding the different levels of Bitcoin security, their advantages and the risks of unnecessary complexity. 🔸 Collaborative Custody & KYC — The trade-offs between different custody arrangements and why privacy should be part of every Bitcoiner's long-term strategy. 🔸 Bitcoin + A Plan B — Why Tony believes financial sovereignty goes beyond Bitcoin self-custody, and why The Bitcoin Way is helping people explore second residency options, including Panama. 🔸 The Next 5–10 Years — CBDCs, capital controls, financial surveillance, inflation and the potential catalysts that could finally drive widespread Bitcoin adoption. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Personal Strategic Bitcoin Guidance & Set Up - 1️⃣ Book a 1-on-1 Zoom Strategy Call with Zane: https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/ 2️⃣ Buy Bitcoin in Australia, New Zealand & USA with Stormrake: - Create an account online: - Email the team: trade@stormrake.com - Book a call directly with Bisher: https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT https://stormrake.zohobookings.com.au/#/bisher 3️⃣ Self Custody Your Bitcoin: - To learn about 100% self custody, book a FREE 30 minute call with The Bitcoin Way: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane - To learn about collaborative self custody, book a FREE introductory call with The Bitcoin Advisor: https://thebitcoinadviser.com/zane

    Bitcoin Reprices Everything - Is $10 Million Possible By 2040? | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 14

    As political unrest, rising debt and economic uncertainty continue to challenge confidence in the traditional financial system, one question becomes increasingly important: Is Bitcoin becoming the ultimate financial escape hatch? What about Mark Moss's prediction this week where he stated the case for a $10 Million Bitcoin be 2040. In this week's episode of Bitcoin in Brief, Bisher joins me from Denver as we unpack some of the biggest developments and ideas shaping the Bitcoin conversation. We begin with reports of social unrest across Europe, including France and Italy, and explore the underlying economic and political tensions. Are rising living costs, declining purchasing power and growing distrust in governments signs of deeper problems within the financial system? From there, we discuss Bitcoin as an OPT OUT — a decentralised, non-sovereign monetary network that operates independently of governments and central banks. We also cover: 🟠 BITCOIN PRIVACY 101 — Why financial sovereignty comes with responsibility, and three practical steps every Bitcoiner should consider to improve their privacy and security. 🟠 $10 MILLION BITCOIN BY 2040? — We explore Mark Moss's long-term Bitcoin valuation thesis and how Bitcoin could potentially capture a growing share of the world's store-of-value assets. 🟠 ARE YOU BORED YET? — Stormrake's latest Morning Note explores Bitcoin's sideways price action and why these quieter periods can test the patience of even the most committed Bitcoiners. 🟠 PRICED IN BITCOIN — What happens when we stop measuring wealth in dollars? We examine traditional assets, including property in Texas, through a Bitcoin measuring stick — and the results may surprise you. The bigger message? Bitcoin isn't just about price appreciation. It's about protecting purchasing power, building financial sovereignty and thinking differently about your future wealth. While much of the world remains focused on short-term headlines, long-term Bitcoiners continue to study, secure and accumulate.

    Why Bitcoiners Need A Plan B | Passports, Residency & Self-Sovereignty

    What if financial sovereignty isn't just about owning your Bitcoin? In this episode, I sit down with Katie from Citizen X, a specialist in international residency, citizenship and what is often called a “Plan B.” For many people in Western countries, the idea of having a second passport or alternative residency would have seemed unnecessary just a few decades ago. Stable governments, relatively strong currencies, political freedom and economic opportunity made it easy to assume that your home country would always remain a safe and prosperous place to live. But the world is changing. So we explore an important question: Can you really be sovereign if you have financial sovereignty through Bitcoin, but remain completely dependent on a single jurisdiction? In this episode, we discuss: ☑️ What exactly is a Plan B? ☑️ Why are more people considering Plan B options? ☑️ Bitcoin & jurisdictional sovereignty ☑️ What does a second passport actually provide? ☑️ Citizenship vs residency vs tax residency - Why simply leaving your country is not enough without a proper exit plan. ☑️ Different pathways to citizenship Citizenship by investment, descent and naturalisation — and how they differ. And Katie shares a philosophy I think is particularly relevant: “Be a prepper, not a doomer.” This isn't about living in fear or assuming everything is going to collapse. It's about having options before you need them. If you're interested in Bitcoin, self-custody, financial sovereignty, international mobility or simply understanding what a genuine Plan B could look like, this is a conversation worth watching. 🌎 ABOUT CITIZEN X Citizen X helps individuals and families explore international residency, citizenship and Plan B options.

    Smart Money Is Buying Bitcoin - Before The Next Leg Up | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 12

    Bitcoin is moving into a very interesting phase of the current cycle — and the question is no longer simply “Is Bitcoin going up?” but how much longer will the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin at today’s prices remain? In this episode of Bitcoin in Brief, Bisher and I look at the latest Bitcoin outlook and some of the biggest developments shaping the market. We start with Stormrake’s Q4 Outlook and the shift in market psychology from “Depression” to “Disbelief” — and why that could suggest there is still significant growth ahead in this cycle. We then look at the potential size of the Bitcoin opportunity. What would it take for Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2030, $10 million by 2040 or even $50 million by 2050? We break down the much larger store-of-value market Bitcoin is competing for and why Bitcoin doesn’t need to capture all of it to become a dramatically larger asset. We also ask who actually owns Bitcoin today. Is retail losing ground to institutions? And if institutional adoption continues to accelerate, what does that mean for the people who are still trying to build their Bitcoin position? From there, we move into one of the most exciting developments in Bitcoin — using it as money. We discuss Steak ’n Shake, Bitcoin payments and the growing emergence of Bitcoin circular economies like Bitcoin Basin in New Zealand. Because Bitcoin isn't just something to buy and hold — it's a monetary network that can ultimately be used to transfer value. And finally, we bring it back to something every Bitcoiner should be learning: Self-custody. It's one thing to buy Bitcoin. It's another thing to learn how to secure it, move it and eventually use it. We challenge listeners to start small, set up a Bitcoin wallet and move a small amount of Bitcoin as a practical exercise. Start low and grow. As always, this is education and commentary only — not financial advice. Do your own research and speak with a qualified professional about your individual circumstances. Signal, not noise. Stay strong.

    Bitcoin Is The Escape From The Debt Based Financial System | Bitcoin in Brief Episode 11

    In this week's episode of Bitcoin in Brief, we step back from the day-to-day Bitcoin price action and look at some of the bigger forces shaping our financial future — from rising interest rates and growing debt to the changing psychology of Bitcoiners. We discuss: ☑️ Rising interest rates and the debt problem — how much more pressure can households and governments absorb as the cost of servicing debt continues to rise? ☑️ Fiat vs Bitcoin — what happens when we measure traditional currencies against an asset with a fixed supply? ☑️ The Bitcoin “Opt Out” — why Bitcoin represents a fundamentally different approach to money, ownership and financial sovereignty; ☑️ October and the psychology of waiting — many people expected another major Bitcoin pullback. What happens when you spend too long waiting for the “perfect” entry? ☑️ The "time preference" psychology of being a Bitcoiner — why being future-focused, disciplined and prepared can impact many areas of your life; ☑️ Looking beyond the price — Bitcoiners tend to think differently about the future: focusing on opportunity, personal responsibility, self-sovereignty and the possibility of a much brighter financial future. The Bitcoin journey isn't simply about watching the price go up. It's about changing the way you think about money, ownership, time and your own financial future.

    Peter Dunworth: Why Bitcoin Could Reach $10 Million in 10 Years

    What happens when a traditional financial advisor becomes convinced that Bitcoin could fundamentally reshape the global financial system? In this episode of The ZT Podcast, I sit down with Peter Dunworth, founder of The Bitcoin Adviser, based in Sydney, Australia Peter comes from a traditional financial-planning background and now works with high-net-worth individuals and families to acquire and secure Bitcoin through a collaborative custody structure. He's also become well known for his extremely bullish long-term view on Bitcoin — including his much-discussed 100X Bitcoin thesis. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore why Peter made the transition from traditional finance to Bitcoin, what he's seeing with clients during the current market cycle, and why he believes Bitcoin could play such an important role in the future of wealth. Peter brings a fascinating perspective because he's not approaching Bitcoin from a purely technical or ideological background.

    Are We About To Enter Bitcoin's Next Bull Run | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 10

    Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 10 with Zane Truscott and Bisher Khudeira Bitcoin has broken above the $83K resistance level — so does this mean the next Bitcoin bull run has officially begun? In Episode 10 of Bitcoin in Brief, Bisher and I break down the latest Bitcoin price action and look at whether this cycle is behaving differently from previous cycles. We discuss: ☑️ Is The Bitcoin bear market over? — was this cycle shorter and shallower than previous downturns, and does that mean the traditional 4-year cycle is changing? ☑️ The October pullback theory — have Bitcoiners been waiting for a correction that may never arrive? ☑️ The Chase Leg — what happens when people wait for lower prices, Bitcoin moves higher, and suddenly they find themselves chasing the market? ☑️ Why perfect timing isn't the goal — having a strategy you can actually follow regardless of where Bitcoin goes next. ☑️ Who is buying Bitcoin? — River's latest ownership data suggests individual investors have been accumulating at the fastest pace in years. ☑️ Bitcoin ownership — we take a look at the changing mix of individuals, institutions, companies, governments, Satoshi and lost Bitcoin. ☑️ Bull market preparation — why emotion can become your biggest enemy as Bitcoin starts moving, and why Study. Stack. Secure. remains the foundation. The big question isn't simply “Is the bull run here?” It's whether you have a plan for what you are going to do if Bitcoin keeps going up.
