00:01 I offered two different people $10,000
00:03 of free Bitcoin. One of them stopped
00:06 responding to me and the other never
00:08 responded in the first place. Here is
00:09 what we can learn about Bitcoin from
00:11 that experience. Okay, so it all started
00:14 when I sold Bombgar Corporation in 2014.
00:16 I had this idea. Uh but I ultimately
00:18 never executed on this idea because uh
00:21 of just anyway I’ll walk through my
00:23 logic. I never executed on it because I
00:25 never felt financially secure with fiat
00:28 currency. Even though I had stocks and I
00:30 had bonds and I had US dollar cash and I
00:32 had, you know, strategic reserves, I had
00:35 all this different stuff. Um, I never
00:37 felt financially secure in the old fiat
00:41 financial system. I just felt like the
00:44 money could disappear and if it I mean
00:46 it just it felt it felt like something
00:47 wasn’t right. So, fast forward
00:51 ultimately from 2014 to uh 2024 and
00:56 Bitcoin in late 2024 crossed $100,000
00:59 for the first time. And at that point, I
01:02 revisited this idea I had had 10 years
01:04 before that I was like, you know, I
01:06 actually do feel financial freedom with
01:08 Bitcoin. I feel financially secure with
01:11 Bitcoin uh in a way I never did with
01:13 fiat currency. And I was like, I’m going
01:15 to revisit this idea. Okay, so here was
01:17 the idea. The idea I was like, you know,
01:19 look, you know, some people think, you
01:21 know, humanity, you know, is lost and we
01:24 have all these issues and, you know, in
01:26 many ways we do, but there are times
01:28 when people do nice things for other
01:31 people for which there is no in no
01:33 incentive whatsoever for what they did.
01:36 And so I thought I had this idea. I was
01:38 like, “Okay, I’m going to think back
01:40 through, first of all, there’s thousands
01:41 of people that have done nice things for
01:43 me, mentored me, coached me, helped me
01:45 on my career, helped me in my personal
01:47 life.” I mean, just a million things. I
01:49 have I have thousands of pe many
01:51 thousands of people to be thankful for.
01:53 But for this specifically, I was like,
01:54 “Okay, I’m going to think up a couple of
01:56 scenarios of people I can remember in my
01:59 life that did something nice for me, uh,
02:01 went out of their way to do something
02:03 nice for me that met a bunch of
02:04 criteria.” And here was some of the
02:06 criteria. There was way more criteria,
02:07 but here’s just some of the criteria.
02:09 So, one, there had to be nothing in it
02:11 for them whatsoever. Um, meaning no
02:14 incentive whatsoever to do something
02:16 nice for me. Uh, some of the criteria
02:18 meant that they could not work for a
02:19 church or a school or any organization
02:22 where being nice to people was part of
02:25 the job or being nice to me was part of
02:27 the job. Um, they had to be older than I
02:29 was. Uh, it had to the the circumstances
02:33 had to take place before I started
02:34 Bombgar Corporation. Basically, when I
02:37 was a nobody, they were older than I
02:39 was. There was no incentive for what
02:40 whatsoever for them to be nice to me.
02:42 Uh, I didn’t work for them. They didn’t
02:44 work for me. They didn’t work for a
02:46 church. They didn’t work for a school.
02:47 They were not a family member. They were
02:49 not a family friend. Uh, they knew me,
02:51 but had no reason to ever believe that
02:53 they would know me in the future. And
02:55 where they had no reason to believe
02:56 whatsoever that they would ever, you
02:59 know, that I would ever be in a position
03:00 to be able to be beneficial in any way
03:02 to them. So, I had a bunch more
03:04 criteria, but it it resulted in
03:05 narrowing, you know, many thousands of
03:07 people down to two. There was two
03:09 specific scenarios I could think of in
03:12 my life where I’m like, okay, this is
03:14 this is a time somebody went out of
03:16 their way to do something nice for me
03:18 with no incentive whatsoever. I can’t
03:20 think of an incentive. I’ve run the
03:22 scenarios through every conceivable
03:23 filter to make sure that there’s no
03:25 possible scenario that they would have
03:27 benefited from this or whatever. And it
03:29 was really sort of the the thought
03:30 process is if you could zoom in on a
03:32 point in humanity and make a case that
03:36 many times humans are good deep down
03:38 inside. Now we’re fallen, we’re sinful
03:40 creatures, you know, original sin, uh
03:42 total depravity, all of that. But there
03:45 are times you can zoom in and people do
03:47 nice things for other people when
03:49 there’s no incentive. Now again, I’m not
03:50 talking about like a customer
03:52 relationship. Yeah, you walk in, you
03:53 order a coffee in a coffee shop, they’re
03:55 nice to you, but you’re a customer. Like
03:56 I mean I you walk down the street,
03:58 people open doors for each other. I’m
03:59 not talking about that. I’m talking
04:00 about somebody who really went out of
04:01 their way to do something nice for me
04:03 with no incentive whatsoever. Okay. So I
04:05 was able to think of two scenarios that
04:07 that went that passed the sort of the
04:10 filter of a gazillion things that had to
04:13 pass to eliminate any possibility that
04:15 there was anything in it for them or
04:17 that they were doing, you know, going
04:19 out of their way to do something nice
04:20 for me. Uh anyway, it it eliminated
04:23 again it eliminated family friends. It
04:24 eliminated acquaintances. that
04:26 eliminated anybody that was likely to
04:28 still know me a year or two later. Um
04:31 because again, if you know somebody or
04:32 if you expect to still still know them
04:34 or run in the same circles, you know,
04:36 presumably there’s some incentive for
04:37 people to be nice to each other, I
04:38 guess. But anyway, I thought of two
04:40 scenarios. So, I went and and again, it
04:42 had to be somebody that I hadn’t seen
04:44 for at least 25 or 30 years. It had to
04:46 be somebody for multiple decades that I
04:48 had had no communication with
04:50 whatsoever. Uh that didn’t live in
04:52 Mississippi anymore. Uh there was a
04:55 bunch of criteria. There was like a
04:56 gazillion criteria. But anyway, I
04:58 thought of two situations. Um and so I I
05:01 reached out to these individuals. One of
05:03 them I was able to find a cell phone
05:04 number online uh that I verified was
05:07 accurate. And the other I found uh an
05:10 active Facebook profile that they were
05:11 clearly checking regularly and updating.
05:14 So in the first case with the cell phone
05:15 number, um initially I texted them and
05:18 called and left a voicemail just to
05:19 verify that it was still them. Um they
05:22 responded. They were like, “Oh yeah, I
05:23 remember you.” Like that was like 30
05:25 years ago. Like you know how you how are
05:27 you doing? And all that sort of stuff.
05:29 And uh you know, so it was great. And it
05:31 was, you know, and I was like, “Oh,
05:32 yeah.” And I was like, “Okay, well, I’m
05:33 going to send you I’m going to send you
05:35 a video, you know, with a with some with
05:37 an idea, you know, I wanted to run by
05:39 you.” Uh so anyway, I recorded them a
05:41 short video that explained, you know,
05:43 what I was doing. And I was offering
05:44 them $10,000 of free Bitcoin. And as a
05:47 thank you for just being a nice human
05:49 being. I don’t know if they’re nice
05:51 human beings in general, but they were
05:53 then at that time. Um, but hadn’t seen
05:56 them in 30 years, so I have no idea now.
05:58 But I was like, this is what I’m doing.
05:60 And in the video, just so they knew it
06:01 was not a scam and it was not AI
06:04 generated, I described the situ
06:06 situation and how we knew each other and
06:07 this situation and all of that. And I I
06:10 included enough detail that there’s no
06:12 possible way anyone other than me and
06:14 them would have remembered that time or
06:17 that incident or and I included uh in
06:19 the video I included u u landmarks so
06:23 that it’s not AI generated because I’m
06:25 like here’s where I am. You can see you
06:27 know where I am behind me like this is
06:29 etc etc. So, just as authentic as you
06:32 could possibly be. Zero chance that they
06:34 would think it was an AI fake or a deep
06:37 fake or, you know, I don’t a scam. Like,
06:40 I just eliminated all those
06:42 possibilities. And I even told them, I
06:43 was like, I’ll send you $10,000 of free
06:45 Bitcoin. If you’re not into Bitcoin,
06:46 that’s fine. Find someone you trust.
06:49 Tell them to help you set up either a
06:50 Coinbase account or a River account, but
06:52 get someone you trust. Not me. I’m not
06:54 telling you to do anything. I’m saying,
06:56 “Go to someone you trust, and all I need
06:58 is your Bitcoin uh public address, so I
06:60 can just send you. It’s like an email
07:01 address. I can just send it to you.” And
07:03 I was like, “The person you trust will
07:04 tell you that there’s nothing scammy
07:06 about giving someone your Bitcoin public
07:08 address. That’s just how you receive
07:09 Bitcoin. It’s not how you send it. It’s
07:11 just how you receive it. Send me that
07:12 and I’ll send you $10,000 of free
07:14 Bitcoin.” So, as soon as I uploaded that
07:16 video, uh the person stopped responding
07:18 to me. Like, we had we had been having a
07:19 whole text conversation. Uh but as soon
07:21 as I uploaded the video, they stopped
07:23 responding. I followed up. I called.
07:25 They left a voicemail. I sent a few over
07:27 the next month or two, I sent sent a few
07:29 follow-up text messages and nothing.
07:31 Like they just completely went dark. Um,
07:34 and then the other individual who was
07:36 very active on Facebook in general. Uh,
07:38 never responded. I mean, my messages
07:40 were going through on Facebook. Um, they
07:43 appeared to be getting them. They were
07:45 active on Facebook and but for whatever
07:47 reason, they never engaged at all. They
07:48 just never responded at all. And after a
07:51 couple uh Facebook messages, I uploaded
07:53 a video unique to them. Um uh so I did
07:56 two separate videos for the two separate
07:58 people and uh uploaded that and uh and
08:02 posted it and you know they again no no
08:04 response. Um so ultimately I I I I was
08:07 not planning to tell like my kids about
08:09 this or I was certainly not planning to
08:11 do a video about it because I I expected
08:12 to be successful if I had successfully
08:15 given away $10,000 of free Bitcoin to
08:17 two different people or even one of
08:19 them. I would not be doing a video about
08:21 it. That would be super tacky. So, the
08:23 only reason I’m doing a video about it
08:24 is because I failed. Like, I failed to
08:26 give them free Bitcoin because they went
08:28 dark on me. So, so I I brought this up.
08:31 I decided after this had failed, I had
08:33 failed to successfully give away free
08:34 Bitcoin to these two individuals, even
08:36 with a recorded video, even with an
08:38 explanation, all this sort of stuff. I
08:40 brought it up at a family dinner and
08:42 asked my kids what they thought. And it
08:43 was interesting because the boys and the
08:45 girls were completely split. So, my wife
08:47 and my daughter were like, “Doesn’t
08:49 surprise me. That’s just super weird.”
08:51 Like, giving people $10,000 of free
08:53 Bitcoin, super weird, you know, not
08:56 surprised they, you know, they went dark
08:57 on you. You should have just written
08:59 them a nice handwritten thank you. Um,
09:01 and I was like, “Yeah, but a handwritten
09:02 thank you that didn’t cost anything.”
09:04 Like, what? That’s like 20, you know,
09:07 five minutes of my time. Like, no. I was
09:09 like, I thought it would be way more
09:11 meaningful to give $10,000 of free
09:14 Bitcoin. That’s what I thought. And I
09:16 mean that’s a lot of Bitcoin for me. I
09:18 don’t have a ton of Bitcoin. Um because
09:20 I spent a ton of my financial assets
09:22 trying to make the world a better way in
09:24 a million different ways. So I can
09:25 afford to give away $10,000 of free
09:27 Bitcoin, but that’s like a meaningful
09:28 amount of Bitcoin. I don’t have an
09:30 unlimited amount of Bitcoin. And I was
09:32 like, so no, I I thought giving Bitcoin
09:34 away in an increment that was like
09:37 really meaningful. Like that’s a lot of
09:38 Bitcoin for me. I thought that would be
09:41 way more meaningful than writing a
09:42 handwritten note. My sons all agreed
09:44 with me. The boys are all like, “Dad, of
09:47 course, of course you would want $10,000
09:50 of free Bitcoin instead of a handwritten
09:52 note. Of course, like, of course it
09:54 makes all the sense in the world that
09:55 you did what you did.” But anyway, my
09:57 wife and my daughter were like, “You
09:58 should have written a hand handwritten
09:59 note. They, you know, that would have
10:01 been better.” Um, you know, it’s not
10:03 about the Bitcoin or the cost. They’re
10:04 just like, “That’s what, you know,
10:06 humans are supposed to do when they’re
10:07 thankful for something.” And I was like,
10:09 “Yeah, but that that seemed lame.” like
10:11 I wanted to do something that was really
10:13 meaningful for what this person did that
10:15 was meaningful 30 years ago. Uh but
10:17 anyway, so the boys all thought that
10:19 giving people free Bitcoin was way more
10:21 meaningful than a handwritten note. And
10:23 the girls uh which is my wife and
10:24 daughter uh all thought that a
10:26 handwritten note was a lot more
10:28 meaningful than somebody randomly
10:29 showing up offering someone free
10:30 Bitcoin. So what we what can we learn
10:33 from this entire experience? One, I
10:34 think in both cases they saw the offer
10:37 of free Bitcoin and thought uh it’s a
10:39 scam. like why do I want Bitcoin? I just
10:41 don’t want to figure it out what it is.
10:43 You know, there’s probably something
10:44 weird or wonky. And even though I had,
10:47 you know, put a a video with a a
10:48 detailed description of what I was doing
10:50 and and what to do. One second.
10:58 Sorry, got some ice there. Um,
11:01 but I think I think the response was
11:04 this is a this this sounds scammy and I
11:06 just don’t want to be part of it. I’m
11:07 just going to pass. They never told me
11:09 they were passing. They just went dark.
11:12 Um, so I think I I think what that tells
11:15 us is we are very early in the adoption
11:17 of Bitcoin. Um, most people if you
11:20 reached out and offered $10,000 US, they
11:22 would say yes, right? Because the US
11:24 dollar is a known thing. Um, but I’m not
11:26 offering people US dollars. The moment I
11:28 transfer it to them, they start losing
11:30 value. Like the reason I didn’t do this
11:32 in 2014 is I was like, it doesn’t feel
11:34 right. like I don’t feel secure in my
11:37 own financial freedom sitting on US
11:39 dollars. And if I give $10,000 away to
11:43 somebody, they’re just going to start
11:44 deteriorating the moment I give it to
11:46 someone else, which is why I didn’t do
11:47 it 10 years ago. Uh now, if I had been
11:50 into Bitcoin in 2014, I would have. But
11:52 um but I didn’t. And I don’t know, back
11:54 in 2014, it would have probably been
11:55 like 10 Bitcoin or something instead of
11:58 like 0.1 Bitcoin. Um but anyway, so I
12:01 think I think what we can learn is
12:03 Bitcoin offers a sense of financial
12:05 freedom and real financial freedom in a
12:07 way that fiat currency in the current
12:09 financial system doesn’t. Um it did for
12:11 me again because I didn’t do this in
12:13 2014 when I could have. Um I mean
12:16 technically in fiat terms my net worth
12:18 was higher back then. I had just sold
12:20 the company. I had not spent a ton of
12:22 money on politics and public policy and
12:25 numerous efforts to make the world a
12:26 better place and all that sort of stuff.
12:27 So just from a strict Dave Ramsey
12:30 perspective, I could afford to do this
12:31 more in 2014 than I can now because I’ve
12:34 spent a huge amount of my financial
12:35 resources trying to make the world a
12:37 better place in a million different
12:38 ways. Um, but I didn’t do it back in
12:40 2014 because again, it just it I didn’t
12:43 feel financially secure in the fiat
12:45 economy world. Um, and I felt like,
12:48 okay, you give the money away and it
12:50 just starts losing value as soon as you
12:52 give it. like it just didn’t have the
12:53 same effect versus now it feels like
12:55 yeah if I give somebody Bitcoin it costs
12:57 me something but I feel financially
12:59 secure in the Bitcoin I still have and
13:02 I’m giving the them a gift that keeps on
13:04 giving instead of a gift that starts
13:06 deteriorating like rotten bananas the
13:08 moment they receive it and starts
13:10 immediately losing value. Uh so I think
13:12 that’s the first thing we can learn is
13:13 that bitcoin gives a sense of financial
13:15 freedom uh when you own it yourself and
13:18 it gives a sense of gift that keeps on
13:21 giving when you give it away or when you
13:23 spend it or when you use it to make your
13:25 life better in some way. Uh second thing
13:28 I think we are early that’s what we can
13:30 learn. We are early in this journey of
13:32 Bitcoin. We are so early that you can
13:34 offer people $10,000 of free Bitcoin and
13:37 they just stop responding because
13:38 they’re like me I don’t want to
13:40 participate in that. whatever it is
13:42 because that’s how early we are that
13:43 people don’t think it’s a thing or I I
13:48 don’t know I like I you know if Elon
13:51 Musk who’s way more successful than I
13:52 will ever be um I mean if if somebody
13:55 that’s wealthier than I am randomly
13:57 reached out to me and offered me $10,000
13:60 of anything I would say yeah I’ll take
14:02 it like thanks like that’s great why why
14:05 not um but I think I think it’s early I
14:08 think people don’t take Bitcoin
14:10 seriously and therefore you can offer
14:12 $10,000 of free Bitcoin and yeah, they
14:14 just yeah, you know, I guess they just
14:17 pass. Um, also I think people a third
14:20 thing we can learn in addition to
14:22 financial security, financial freedom,
14:23 the gift that keeps on giving and u and
14:26 the fact that we’re just early. I think
14:28 another way that we are we know that
14:30 we’re early is people don’t realize you
14:32 can convert Bitcoin into anything. You
14:35 can convert Bitcoin into any currency
14:37 anywhere in the world. If you want to
14:38 convert $10,000 of free Bitcoin into US
14:41 dollars, you can. It’s like
14:43 instantaneous on River or Coinbase or
14:45 anywhere else. Um, you know, Kraken, on
14:48 Gemini, I mean, anywhere. Any of the
14:50 major services, all you know, government
14:54 sanctioned and approved in the United
14:56 States. They’re not scams. They’re not
14:57 FTX offshore stupidity from 2022. There
15:01 are numerous legit places to convert
15:03 $10,000 of free Bitcoin to any currency
15:05 in the world. You can convert it to the
15:07 Thai bot. You can convert it to euros.
15:09 You can convert it to the Japanese yen,
15:10 the Chinese wan. You can do any of that
15:12 stuff like any currency in the world. So
15:14 I think we are so early that people
15:16 don’t realize this is money. And if you
15:18 want to convert it into a different kind
15:20 of money, you can do that anywhere in
15:22 the world at any time. And anywhere in
15:24 the world, people will sell you stuff
15:25 for Bitcoin. Anywhere in the world that
15:27 you can find somebody that will sell you
15:29 a car for Bitcoin, that will sell you a
15:31 meal for Bitcoin. It’s money. And I
15:34 think we’re just so early that people
15:36 don’t understand that. And you can offer
15:38 them $10,000 of free Bitcoin and you
15:40 know they would, you know, they would
15:42 pass. And I’ve wondered this before as
15:44 well. I’ve wondered uh I haven’t I have
15:48 never done this, but I’ve considered it
15:49 before. Um so, you know, if you were
15:53 like tipping at a restaurant, and I’ve
15:54 never done this because I don’t want to
15:56 make like waiters and waitresses like
15:58 uncomfortable. Um, but I have wondered
16:00 before, you know, if you’re tipping at a
16:02 restaurant and the waiter or waitress
16:04 and you said, “Hey, you did a really
16:05 good job. Would you like $100, this $100
16:09 bill as a tip, or would you like one 1%
16:13 of one bitcoin?” Now, 1% of one bitcoin
16:16 is more than $1,000. But honestly, I
16:19 think the vast majority of waiters and
16:21 waitresses in the world would say
16:23 between 1% of a bitcoin and $100.
16:27 I’ll take the $100. People just don’t
16:29 realize, we’re so early in this journey
16:31 of Bitcoin that people don’t realize
16:33 it’s real money. And I think most people
16:36 in the world, if you offered them 1% of
16:38 one Bitcoin or if you offered them $100,
16:41 unless they pulled out a calculator and
16:43 started really trying to figure it out,
16:44 most people don’t know what the price
16:45 of, they don’t know Bitcoin’s $120,000 a
16:48 coin right now. They don’t know that,
16:51 you know, 1% of one Bitcoin is $1,200.
16:55 Like, nobody knows that. or not nobody
16:57 but a small percentage of the world. So
16:59 most of the world they think Bitcoin is
17:01 something they can ignore. They or they
17:02 think it’s a scam or they think they
17:04 just don’t want to deal with it. And I
17:05 think most of the world would take a
17:07 $100 bill instead of 1% of one bitcoin
17:09 because they just don’t know what 1% of
17:11 one bitcoin is. They don’t know what
17:12 it’s worth. They don’t know that they
17:13 can convert it to any currency in the
17:15 world. They don’t know that. That’s how
17:17 early we are in this journey of Bitcoin.
17:20 So last up, uh you’re probably somebody
17:24 eventually is going to ask me. They’re
17:25 going to say, “Well, hey, if you didn’t
17:26 give $10,000 of free Bitcoin to so- and
17:28 so, can I have it?” Uh, the answer is
17:30 no. The uh that offer expired and I gave
17:33 away that Bitcoin $100 at a time in
17:35 other ways. So, after enough months had
17:38 gone by that I was certain that those
17:41 two individuals would never respond,
17:43 never engage, I instead gave away that
17:46 Bitcoin $100 at a time. Earlier this
17:49 year, I did a matching thing where
17:51 Bitcoin was 117,000 a coin where I said,
17:53 “Look, if you buy 117,000 or $17 of
17:57 Bitcoin, I will give you 0.001 Bitcoin,
17:60 which was worth $117.” So, I did
18:03 basically a matching thing up to $117.
18:06 So, I gave away some of that Bitcoin
18:07 that way and the rest of it I gave away
18:10 $100 at a time to basically anybody who
18:12 doesn’t already own Bitcoin. So, if
18:14 you’re wondering, can you have that
18:16 $10,000 of Bitcoin or in the case of two
18:19 people, $20,000 total of Bitcoin? No.
18:22 That Bitcoin’s already been given away.
18:23 And I continue to give away $100 of free
18:26 Bitcoin to basically anybody who asks.
18:28 If somebody messages me and it’s a legit
18:30 Facebook account, it’s not like some
18:32 hacked or scammed, you know, stupid
18:34 account. If it doesn’t look fake, I send
18:36 them a link to $100 of free Bitcoin uh
18:39 on River. And I’ve done that for, you
18:41 know, a long time now. And I continue to
18:43 do that. So even though that exact
18:45 Bitcoin is no longer available because
18:47 it’s been given away, I continue to give
18:48 away free Bitcoin to anybody uh who
18:51 asks. And again, you can message me on
18:53 Facebook on Facebook Messenger. That way
18:55 I can check and make sure the profile is
18:57 real. Uh now and then I get these just
18:59 scammy messages from, you know, newly
19:01 created profiles who only have one
19:02 friend and the picture is a picture of
19:04 a, you know, a sunrise. And it’s like,
19:07 that’s not a real profile. I’m sorry.
19:08 you’re not a real person. So, um, but
19:11 any legit real person I’ll give away
19:13 $100 of free Bitcoin to. Um, and to
19:16 these individuals, it was $10,000 of
19:18 free bit Bitcoin each because I just had
19:20 the idea and I just wanted to do it and
19:22 I’d had the idea a long time ago and I
19:24 wanted to do it and but one went dark on
19:27 me, the other never responded. So, I
19:29 just gave away the Bitcoin a little at a
19:31 time to a bunch of other people,
19:33 hundreds of other people. And uh, and
19:35 that is the story. So, I’ll recap even
19:38 though I know my videos are way too long
19:40 and I know the recap is like super
19:41 duplicative, but to recap, what can we
19:44 learn? One, Bitcoin can offer financial
19:46 freedom in a way that fiat can’t um both
19:49 to an individual as well as secondly as
19:52 the gift that keeps on giving, which
19:53 incentivizes people to share and to buy
19:55 things and to gift Bitcoin to each other
19:58 because it’s a better money. Uh third,
20:01 um most people dismiss Bitcoin. you
20:03 offer them $10,000 of Bitcoin and they,
20:05 you know, in this case didn’t even
20:07 respond. Um, fourth, uh, that Bitcoin we
20:11 are so early that people don’t know you
20:14 can convert it to any other currency in
20:15 the anywhere in the world. You can buy
20:17 anything with it. It is money and it is
20:19 valuable. And probably fifth, I think, I
20:22 haven’t tried it, but fifth, I think
20:24 most people, if you put them on the spot
20:26 in the minute and said, “Hey, do you
20:29 want one percent of one Bitcoin or a
20:30 $100 bill?” Most people would take a
20:32 $100 bill because they just don’t get
20:34 Bitcoin enough to realize that, you
20:36 know, 1% of one Bitcoin is more than 10
20:40 times is 12 times as much as a $100
20:42 bill. So, there’s a lot to learn there.
20:44 What how is this actionable? One, if you
20:47 don’t have any Bitcoin, I’ll give you
20:49 $100 of free Bitcoin. So, that’s
20:50 actionable. Nobody who ever watches my
20:52 videos should have zero Bitcoin because
20:54 literally I will give it away $100 at a
20:56 time for free. And all you got to do is
20:58 message me from a legit Facebook account
21:01 with the message river $100. River ri I
21:05 v space dollar sign 10000 and I will
21:08 send you $100 of free Bitcoin on River.
21:11 Um again as long as you’re like a legit
21:12 account and it’s not your account does
21:14 not look scammed or hacked or you know
21:17 fake or whatever. Um so that’s the
21:19 action item. The action item is if you
21:21 don’t own any Bitcoin solve that. Um,
21:24 the second action item is buy as much
21:26 Bitcoin as you can and sit on it for as
21:28 long as conceivably possible because
21:30 Bitcoin can give you financial freedom
21:32 the same way it has given me financial
21:34 freedom. Bitcoin can make you generous
21:37 in the long term in a way that fiat
21:39 currency won’t because fiat currency
21:42 encourages you to always feel like the
21:45 sand is running through your fingers.
21:47 And if you’re holding assets where you
21:49 feel like the sand is running through
21:51 your fingers, it’s hard to be gift. It’s
21:54 hard to be generous with assets you feel
21:55 like you’re in the process of losing.
21:57 And with fiat currency, which is
21:59 government madeup currency, government
22:01 or currency by fiat, government dictate,
22:04 which is what the word fiat means, if
22:06 that is the currency you’re using and
22:07 that is how you’re storing your wealth,
22:09 the the sand is running through your
22:10 fingers. And it’s hard to be generous
22:12 when you feel like if I give away this,
22:14 will I still have enough? And that’s
22:17 what fiat currency does for you. It’s
22:18 toxic. Um, Bitcoin is better money that
22:21 makes people more wealthy and more
22:24 generous. And it’s pretty amazing that a
22:26 currency, a good currency, a stable, you
22:29 know, stable as in it goes up and down
22:30 on its way up, meaning the value of that
22:33 currency long-term is up, not down. Um,
22:36 the purchasing power is grows over time,
22:39 even though it’s volatile in the near
22:40 term. It’s amazing what that can do to
22:43 the human psyche and it’s what humanity
22:46 has needed for a very long time and uh
22:48 and Bitcoin is that and it’s that it has
22:50 been transformative for me and it can be
22:52 transformative for you and I would not
22:54 record this video if I didn’t think it
22:55 would help somebody. Um obviously if I
22:57 had been successful giving away that
22:59 Bitcoin, I would not have recorded a
23:01 video cuz that would have been tacky.
23:02 But I thought what else can I record a
23:05 video on? What else can I tell people
23:06 about to encourage them to buy Bitcoin
23:09 and to pursue real financial freedom um
23:12 and wealth with a currency that nobody
23:14 can make more of out of thin air? And I
23:16 was like, I’ll just do this video. It’s
23:18 been long enough. It’s been 9 months or
23:21 whatever it was. It’s been almost a year
23:22 since Bitcoin crossed $100,000. I was
23:24 like, all right, we’re probably past the
23:26 statute of limitation. Plus, I was
23:28 unsuccessful in giving that free Bitcoin
23:30 to those two individuals. So, here’s a
23:32 video about it with the hope that it
23:34 will impact somebody and that they will
23:37 either take me up on my offer for $100,
23:39 not $10,000, but $100 of free Bitcoin to
23:43 anyone um and that they will pursue
23:45 financial freedom themselves by
23:47 accumulating as much Bitcoin as they can
23:49 and in the long term as that Bitcoin
23:51 appreciates in value, generously giving
23:53 with it as I do to my church, Christian
23:56 missionaries, and and numerous other
23:58 things. So, uh, have a great day. Let me
24:02 know if I can help you. I really want to
24:03 help you. I’ve been screaming from the
24:05 rooftops about Bitcoin for many years
24:07 now. I just want people to listen. I
24:09 want them to benefit the way I have. And
24:11 I hope you do. And I’m here for anything
24:12 you need as your Sherpa on that journey.
24:15 Have a good one.
