How Bitcoin Helped Me Save This Tree

00:01 Bitcoin gives you financial freedom to
00:03 do crazy projects like this. So, uh, in
00:05 one of my properties in Mississippi,
00:07 there is a tree right here that is
00:10 splitting right there. And I had a tree
00:13 crew come in, uh, and put something
00:16 around it to try to keep it from
00:18 splitting. And they did a poor job like
00:19 5 years ago. And the whole thing they
00:21 put in was wrong. And they wrapped it
00:23 all the way around the trunks, which was
00:25 choking off the trunks. And I was like,
00:27 you know what? Bitcoin gives you
00:28 financial freedom. I’m going to go fix
00:30 this problem myself. So, I uh got a
00:34 ladder, the very large extension ladder
00:36 right here. I got 300 ft of 3/4 in uh
00:41 polyropylene rope and I turned it into a
00:43 safety rope by tying loops in it all the
00:45 way up and down. Then I went on Amazon
00:48 and or maybe I don’t know if it was
00:49 Amazon. Where have I found it? I found
00:51 the strongest uh tie down wraparound um
00:55 winch whatever ratchet straps literally
00:58 on the internet which is right here. The
00:60 breaking strength of that right here is
01:02 20,000 lb. And it’s wrapped where it
01:06 goes around not the whole trunk which
01:08 would have choke choked it out. It’s
01:09 wrapped around both trunks up here to
01:11 keep the tree from splitting right there
01:13 which was which is what it was doing.
01:15 this piece of it was about to fall like
01:17 completely down. Um, so anyway, so as a
01:21 now that there are four pieces of it
01:23 total, the total strength uh the braking
01:25 strength up there is 80,000 lb. So that
01:28 can hold 80,000 lb before breaking up
01:31 here. The tree is now happy. It’s not
01:33 being choked off. The very poor job they
01:36 did right here is uh, you know, has now
01:39 been eradicated. The tree is now happy.
01:41 And again, it’s fun being able to go
01:43 online and buy literally anything I want
01:45 because Bitcoin gives you financial
01:47 freedom. And when you have financial
01:48 freedom, I mean, it doesn’t mean you can
01:49 do stupid stuff, but it does mean you
01:51 can go online and buy any random thing,
01:53 regardless of the price to create a uh
01:56 opportunity to create an 80,000lb
01:59 breaking strength uh tree retaining
02:01 system that you just feel like doing on
02:04 a property, a random property in
02:06 Mississippi, because you like half the
02:08 tree and half of it’s about to die or
02:10 fall and you don’t want it to. So, you
02:12 feel like you just fix it yourself. Now,
02:14 I also have the financial freedom. I
02:16 could have just paid another tree crew
02:18 to come and do it right, but the last
02:20 one did it wrong and I wanted to do it
02:21 myself and it was fun. And so anyway,
02:23 I’m wearing this insane ultra safe
02:26 harness that I also bought online and
02:29 clipped in all the way up that safety
02:30 rope so that when I was working way up
02:33 there, right up there where the sun is,
02:35 I if I fell, nothing bad would happen.
02:37 Anyway, um this is just a tiny example
02:40 of I mean financial freedom is great.
02:42 It’s just great to be able to buy what
02:45 you need when you need it without having
02:47 to, you know, it’s not that I never look
02:49 at price. If something’s insane, I don’t
02:51 do stupid stuff. But basically, as long
02:53 as something’s not completely stupid, I
02:55 can automatically afford it. And I can
02:57 afford it because I bought a bunch of
02:58 Bitcoin over the years, it’s appreciated
03:01 enough in value that I have financial
03:03 freedom that I would never have had. And
03:06 Bitcoin’s amazing. And, you know,
03:08 financial freedom is amazing and I love
03:10 it. And this morning my paycheck hit and
03:12 the very first thing I did is I bought
03:14 100% of it with Bitcoin. I mean the
03:16 whole paycheck all Bitcoin on river
03:19 100%. And that’s what I do when my
03:22 paycheck hits is I buy Bitcoin no matter
03:24 what the price because in the future
03:26 when I buy Bitcoin this morning at
03:28 116,000 per coin someday in the future
03:31 at 300,000 500,000 or a million dollars
03:33 per coin I will be buying crazy stuff
03:35 like this more that I can do random
03:37 projects. I can do whatever I want and
03:39 it’s just life is more fun to live that
03:42 way. In addition to you can be
03:44 incredibly generous. My wife and I give
03:46 away the majority of our wealth to all a
03:49 ton of things we care about and you know
03:51 we can do that because we have the the
03:53 wealth and financial freedom to do that.
03:55 Um and Bitcoin has given us that. So
03:58 anyway, fun time projects and feels
04:01 great to do a project and fix something,
04:03 redeem a little part of God’s creation,
04:05 make the world a better
