    How To Become Financially Unruggable with GG from Bull Bitcoin

    What does it really mean to become financially sovereign? In this episode of The Bitcoin with ZT Podcast, I sit down with GG from Bull Bitcoin for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, privacy, self-custody and the future of Bitcoin. We begin with a question I plan to ask every guest on this show: What is the true purpose of Bitcoin? Is Bitcoin simply an investment and a savings technology? Or is it something much bigger—a tool that gives individuals the ability to take greater control over their money and financial lives? From there, we explore some of the biggest issues facing Bitcoiners today. We discuss the growing push towards financial surveillance, including DAC8, and why privacy matters—even if you believe you have "nothing to hide." GG also takes us inside the philosophy behind Bull Bitcoin and explains why building simple, accessible tools for self-custody is such an important part of protecting Bitcoin's original promise. We also dive into: ⚡ The difference between hot wallets and cold storage ⚡ On-chain Bitcoin, Lightning and Liquid — and when each might be useful ⚡ What Bitcoin privacy really means ⚡ Understanding UTXOs and why they matter for long-term Bitcoin holders ⚡ How your on-chain footprint can impact privacy and future transaction costs ⚡ The tools available to help Bitcoiners take greater control of their own money ⚡ The ongoing debate around BIP110 and Bitcoin's future ⚡ What ordinary Bitcoin holders should understand—and whether they need to take action ⚡ The biggest opportunities and threats facing Bitcoin over the coming decade Most importantly, we finish with a practical question: If you already own Bitcoin and want to become more sovereign over the next 12 months, what should you focus on? This conversation goes well beyond price predictions and number-go-up. It's about understanding why Bitcoin matters, how to use it responsibly, and what it means to take greater ownership of your financial future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🚀 Buy Bitcoin easily with Stormrake Full-Service Broker: 🇦🇺 In Australia: https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT 🇺🇸 In the USA: https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT Or email: trade@stormrake.com ✅ Book a 1-on-1 Bitcoin Strategy Call with me Get personalised guidance and a clear plan for your Bitcoin journey. https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/ 🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with expert self-custody support Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call with The Bitcoin Way. https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane Connect with me: 📧 zt72@proton.me Follow me on X: https://x.com/ZaneTruscott Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zanetruscott/

    Bitcoin Is About To Get Very Expensive For Those Who Wait | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 6

    Bitcoin is moving again - but are you thinking about your Bitcoin strategy the right way? In this week's episode of Bitcoin in Brief, Bisher and I zoom out from the day-to-day price action to look at the bigger picture. Where are we in the current Bitcoin cycle? What does the next halving in 2028 mean? And why is it important to understand that beyond "price", Bitcoin is "freedom money"! We also tackle a question that affects almost every Bitcoiner: Should you buy now - or wait for the next dip? With the Fear & Greed Index turning positive again, it can be tempting to sit on the sidelines waiting for the "perfect" entry price. But as we've discussed before, greed can cost you in both bear and bull markets. We talk about the benefits of a consistent Dollar Cost Averaging strategy, when it may make sense to deploy larger amounts of capital, and why trying to perfectly time the Bitcoin market can create significant opportunity cost. Finally, we discuss why it's so important to think of Bitcoin beyond simply an investment. Bitcoin is a global, decentralised monetary network—and the infrastructure being built around it today could fundamentally change the way we save, transact and take custody of our money.

    Bitcoin Just Woke Up! Is This The Next Bull Run? | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 5

    Bitcoin in Brief — Episode 5 After almost 10 months of Bitcoin chopping sideways, the market is finally moving. So... is this the start of the next Bitcoin bull run? In Episode 5 of Bitcoin in Brief, Bisher and I take a look at the recent price action and ask what has changed—and, more importantly, what Bitcoiners should be doing now. We discuss the significance of Bitcoin moving through key resistance levels, why bear markets can end when bad news stops moving price lower, and why waiting for the "perfect" lower entry price could come with a significant opportunity cost. We then zoom out and look at the bigger macro picture. With US government debt now above $40 trillion and Australian government debt above $1 trillion, what happens when governments continue expanding debt and liquidity? Why do we describe Bitcoin as the ultimate liquidity sponge, and why could hard assets become increasingly important in this environment? We also get practical and tackle one of the biggest questions for anyone looking to buy Bitcoin: Lump sum or DCA? Finally, we discuss what happens after you buy Bitcoin. Self-custody or professional custody? The market may finally be waking up. The question is: are you ready?

    Why Aussie Families Can No Longer Afford To Ignore Bitcoin

    What happens when an ordinary Australian family starts looking seriously at Bitcoin? In this episode of Bitcoin with ZT, I sit down with Australian Bitcoiners Matt & Bobbie to talk about their journey into Bitcoin, why they believe Aussie families should be paying attention to Bitcoin. We discuss the challenges facing Australian families today — including the rising cost of living, housing affordability and the growing difficulty of achieving the traditional Australian dream — and whether Bitcoin can give families another path towards financial independence and a more hopeful future. We also get practical. Matt and Bobbie explain how they approached learning about Bitcoin, what they believe every beginner should understand before buying, how they've dealt with the recent decline in Bitcoin's dollar price, and why becoming a long-term Bitcoiner requires a very different mindset from traditional investing. We also dive into self-custody — why it matters, what they initially found intimidating, how they built the confidence to take control of their own Bitcoin, and whether self-custody is appropriate for everyone. If you're an Australian parent, young person, investor or simply someone wondering whether Bitcoin deserves your attention, this is a conversation worth watching.

    House Prices Collapsing When Priced in Bitcoin | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 4

    Bitcoin in Brief – Episode 4 What happens when you compare the world of Bitcoin from inside Australia to the rapidly evolving US market? Bisher has now spent around 10 days operating from the US, and in this episode he shares what he's seeing on the ground—from the size of Bitcoin transactions to the significantly lower friction he's experiencing compared with Australia. What can Australian Bitcoiners learn from the US environment? We also revisit the recent Coldcard security exploit and the important lessons it has for anyone holding Bitcoin in self-custody. Then we look at something fascinating: What happens to Australian house prices when you measure them in Bitcoin rather than dollars? We revisit a $1.5 million Queensland property purchased in 2022 and compare its performance with what the same $1.5 million invested in Bitcoin would be worth today. The result is eye-opening—and raises a much bigger question about what we actually use to measure wealth. Finally, we ask the question everyone wants answered: Is now a good time to buy Bitcoin? Bisher shares his current market view and explains why he believes Bitcoin is now deep into the value zone. Stay strong, stay sovereign. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources & Support To Help You Optimise Your Bitcoin Journey - 🚀 Buy Bitcoin easily with Stormrake Full-Service Broker: 🇦🇺 In Australia: https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start... 🇺🇸 In the USA: https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT or email: trade@stormrake.com 🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with expert self-custody support Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call with The Bitcoin Way. https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane ✅ Book a 1-on-1 Bitcoin Strategy Call with me Get personalised guidance and a clear plan for your Bitcoin journey. https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/ Connect with me: 📧 zt72@proton.me Follow me on X: https://x.com/ZaneTruscott Follow me on Instagram:   / zanetruscott

    Node Wars, BIP110 and The Battle For Bitcoin with Matt Hill

    One of the biggest moments in Bitcoin's history is here - a battle for Bitcoin's real purpose and a contentious improvement proposal known as BIP110. BIP110 claims that the Bitcoin network should be solely limited to the transmission of monetary data. Whilst the legacy policy implementation, seeks to remove those limits to allow the relaying and embedding of non-monetary data on the blockchain. In this episode of Bitcoin with ZT, I sit down with Matt Hill, CEO of Start9, for a deep but accessible conversation about this topic and the vital importance of running your own node. We start with the fundamental question: What is the true purpose of Bitcoin? And then discuss: ☑️ What is a Bitcoin node and why it matters ☑️ Why every serious Bitcoiner should definitely run their own node ☑️ How the node policy you choose impacts the network ☑️ Node implementations - Core versus Knots, BIP110 and what this could mean for Bitcoin's future. Matt's shares some powerful analogies that help to understand how nodes work to verify your Bitcoin and to keep the network decentralised and safe. This is an enthralling conversation that every Bitcoiner who values sovereignty over their money should watch. Stay strong. Stay sovereign. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources & Support To Help You Optimise Your Bitcoin Journey - 🚀 Buy Bitcoin easily with Stormrake Full-Service Broker: 🇦🇺 In Australia: https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT 🇺🇸 In the USA: https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT 🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with expert self-custody support Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call with The Bitcoin Way. https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane ✅ Book a 1-on-1 Bitcoin Strategy Call with me Get personalised guidance and a clear plan for your Bitcoin journey. https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/ Connect with me: 📧 zt72@proton.me Follow me on X: https://x.com/ZaneTruscott Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zanetruscott/

    The Cold Card Crisis: Lessons Every Bitcoiner Must Learn | Bitcoin in Brief, Episode 3

    One of the biggest Bitcoin security incidents in recent years has sent shockwaves through the self-custody community. In this week's episode of Bitcoin in Brief, Zane Truscott and Bisher Khudeira unpack the Coldcard security incident and discuss the practical steps Bitcoiners should be taking right now to protect their funds. We also explore why inflation quietly destroys purchasing power over time and how Bitcoin changes that equation. We also take a quick look at how Bitcoin is demonetising gold with every passing year. In this week's episode: 🟠 The Cold Card Security Incident What happened? Who is potentially at risk? Why seed phrase security matters more than ever. Practical steps every Coldcard user should consider immediately. The lessons the Bitcoin community can take from this event. 🟠 Inflation vs Taxation Why cash isn't as "safe" as many people believe. How inflation and taxation combine to quietly reduce purchasing power. Why Bitcoin continues to challenge traditional saving strategies over the long term. Gold prices are falling when priced in Bitcoin. 🟠 BIP110 Explained What is BIP110? Bisher's take on this upcoming contentious soft-fork and how you can learn about both sides. As always, our goal is simple: deliver high-signal Bitcoin education in under 35 minutes, helping you understand not just what's happening today, but why it matters for your long-term Bitcoin journey. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources & Support To Help You Optimise Your Bitcoin Journey - **Secure Your Bitcoin in Stormrake's institutional grade cold storage vault - zero holdings fees for the month of August: https://www.stormrake.com/securecustody 🚀 Buy Bitcoin easily with Stormrake Full-Service Broker: 🇦🇺 In Australia: https://www.stormrake.com/trade/start?ref=ZaneT 🇺🇸 In the USA: https://www.stormrake.com/usa?ref=ZaneT 🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with expert self-custody support Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call with The Bitcoin Way. https://www.thebitcoinway.com/zane ✅ Book a 1-on-1 Bitcoin Strategy Call with me Get personalised guidance and a clear plan for your Bitcoin journey. https://zanetruscott.setmore.com/ Connect with me: 📧 zt72@proton.me Follow me on X: https://x.com/ZaneTruscott Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zanetruscott/
