00:01 Bitcoin is for everyone, but Wall Street
00:03 is going to catch up to Main Street and
00:06 surpass Main Street if Main Street
00:08 doesn’t wake up. If there’s anything I
00:11 could do to prevent that that I’m not
00:13 already doing, please let me know.
00:15 Bitcoin is the first real opportunity
00:18 that is available to everyone. Everyone
00:20 in the world has the ability to convert
00:22 their money in their local currency to
00:24 Bitcoin from money that anyone in the
00:27 world can make more of to money that
00:28 nobody in the world can make more of.
00:30 It’s the first thing that’s like that.
00:31 The average person around the world
00:33 cannot invest in Amazon or Apple or
00:35 Tesla or any stocks. They have access to
00:38 their local currency and if they have a
00:40 lot of it, maybe they can buy some real
00:42 estate. But the average person really,
00:44 Bitcoin is the first thing in the world
00:47 that was a ticket out of poverty, a
00:49 ticket to sound money, a ticket to an
00:51 asset that they can store up for the
00:54 long haul. For a long time, for I would
00:56 say the first 10 years of Bitcoin’s
00:58 life, Bitcoin’s been around 17 years
00:59 now, it was just entirely individuals.
01:02 Like almost nobody on Wall Street was
01:04 buying Bitcoin. Companies were not
01:06 buying Bitcoin. Like really for 10 solid
01:09 years, it was just individuals, which
01:11 was fantastic. Good for them. That’s
01:13 amazing. between 2019, the 10-year mark
01:16 of Bitcoin, and today, that has started
01:20 to flip pretty significantly where Main
01:22 Street is still adopting Bitcoin very
01:25 slowly. But Wall Street has figured out,
01:27 as they often do, that mass adoption is
01:30 coming and Wall Street is trying to
01:32 frontrun that mass adoption, which makes
01:35 me sad. I want Main Street to have all
01:38 the Bitcoin. I want normal average
01:40 people to have all the Bitcoin. There’s
01:42 no benefit in my world with people on
01:45 Wall Street having more Bitcoin. The
01:46 people on Wall Street already have the
01:48 wealth. There’s no reason they need more
01:50 wealth. Now, I don’t hold it against
01:52 them. I mean, it’s a free market system.
01:53 I believe in voluntary association,
01:56 voluntary interaction, free market
01:58 system. If somebody on Wall Street is
01:59 smarter and they figure out Bitcoin is
02:01 the future faster than somebody on Main
02:03 Street, they have every right to do that
02:05 and good for them. But that’s not how I
02:07 wish the adoption would happen. And if
02:10 you if somebody said, Joel, paint the
02:12 most likely scenario that things don’t
02:15 turn out the way you wanted, my answer
02:18 would not be that the government somehow
02:20 bans Bitcoin, which is not going to
02:21 happen, or that quantum computers
02:23 somehow causes a problem, which again is
02:26 not going to happen. Like there’s all
02:27 these things that I really think are
02:29 kind of irrelevant. I think the most
02:31 likely undesired outcome for Bitcoin is
02:35 that it’s adopted worldwide by everyone.
02:38 But the wealthy figure it out first. The
02:42 people on Wall Street figure it out
02:43 first. The companies figure it out
02:46 first. And Main Street, Main Street gets
02:48 left behind. Now, in every other
02:50 scenario, it makes sense why Main Street
02:53 got left behind. Because if you wanted
02:55 to invest in Amazon or Tesla or Apple or
02:58 Facebook, you could not do that until
03:01 they went public. So, a huge amount of
03:03 wealth was created before they went
03:05 public. Only after they went public was
03:08 the average person able to invest in
03:10 those things. So, Bitcoin is the first
03:13 thing where literally anyone in the
03:15 world could invest in it. And they could
03:17 have invested in it for years before
03:20 Wall Street showed up. Now, it’s still
03:22 not too late. The vast majority of
03:24 people on Wall Street still have not
03:26 adopted Bitcoin. And the vast majority
03:28 of people on Main Street still have not
03:29 adopted Bitcoin. But that the window of
03:33 opportunity is closing with each passing
03:36 month and each passing year. The people
03:38 on Wall Street are figuring it out
03:40 faster than the people on on Main Street
03:42 because again for about 10 years it was
03:44 just individuals. But for the last 6
03:46 years, Wall Street has been
03:48 accelerating. Main Street is still
03:50 figuring out, you know, which way is up
03:52 and what is Bitcoin. And when I talk to
03:54 people who are exposed to Bitcoin for
03:56 the first time, it’s a long process,
03:58 right? I mean, they got to figure it
03:59 out. and they don’t have the incentive
04:02 of people on Wall Street that they got
04:03 analysts sitting around waiting for
04:05 something to do and all you got to do is
04:06 say, “Hey, go analyze this thing and
04:09 come back and tell me all about it.” The
04:10 average person has to watch YouTube
04:12 videos, ask chat GPT, Google it. You got
04:16 to figure it out. Um, and there’s nobody
04:18 there’s no technical analyst sitting on
04:20 Wall Street waiting for to to coach Main
04:23 Street step by step. Now, I try to do
04:26 what I can with everybody that I can
04:28 reach on Facebook and YouTube and
04:29 everywhere else. Um, and right now, I
04:32 mean, one of the reasons I decided to
04:33 record this video is I want to
04:37 educate and onboard as many people as
04:39 possible to Bitcoin and as fast as
04:42 possible because I know with each
04:44 passing day, week, month, and year, it
04:47 the window of opportunity closes for
04:48 Main Street. Wall Street’s got so much
04:50 money that they’re going to buy a bunch
04:52 of Bitcoin no matter what. Main Street
04:54 doesn’t. The more the higher the price
04:55 of Bitcoin goes, the harder it will be
04:58 for people to get to one Bitcoin, the
04:59 harder it will be to get to half a
05:01 Bitcoin, the harder it will be to get to
05:02 a quarter of a Bitcoin, the harder it’ll
05:04 be to get to a tenth of a Bitcoin. All
05:06 of those hurdles get harder for Main
05:08 Street the longer they wait to adopt.
05:10 Versus Wall Street, they generally are
05:12 making enough money that they can afford
05:14 to buy Bitcoin later. Same with rich
05:16 people with a lot of wealth. They can
05:17 afford to buy Bitcoin later. People
05:19 without a lot of wealth need to get on
05:21 the bus as soon as possible. So, right
05:23 now, this year in 2025, I have averaged
05:27 on average, I’m spending about $25,000
05:30 a month on efforts to educate and
05:34 onboard people to Bitcoin. That’s just
05:36 education and onboarding people to
05:38 Bitcoin. That’s it. That’s not all of my
05:40 other philanthropic efforts. That’s not
05:42 personal expenses. That’s just efforts
05:45 that are charitable, nonprofit efforts
05:48 to educate and onboard people to
05:50 Bitcoin. And that that’s about $25,000
05:53 per month so far in 2025. Now, a bunch
05:56 of people have bought a bunch of Bitcoin
05:57 based on my efforts to educate and
05:59 onboard people, but as a percentage of
06:01 all of the people that are friends of of
06:03 mine on Facebook, it’s a small percent.
06:06 As a percentage of everybody that ever
06:08 sees my posts, it’s a small percent. So,
06:11 my hope is I really wish Main Street
06:14 would get with the program. I have been
06:16 screaming from the rooftops for at least
06:19 the last three years. Please adopt
06:21 Bitcoin. Please adopt Bitcoin. You can
06:23 frontr run Wall Street. You can frontr
06:27 run Wall Street. But you got to get with
06:29 the program. I don’t care how busy you
06:31 are. Get on Chad GPT and ask it what is
06:34 Bitcoin and then just keep asking
06:36 questions until you get it. Get on
06:38 YouTube and type what is Bitcoin and
06:40 keep asking questions until you get it.
06:43 Get on Google, whatever it takes,
06:45 however you learn, figure out what is
06:48 Bitcoin, how does it work, and how do
06:50 you get some, and how do you get as much
06:51 as you possibly can. My recommendation
06:53 is the same. Buy it on River. R I
06:56 Ver.com.
06:58 Link your bank account to River. Buy as
06:60 much Bitcoin as you can. That’s my
07:02 advice. That’s the easiest way to
07:03 onboard. If you want $100 of free
07:06 Bitcoin, message me on Facebook
07:08 Messenger. River100. $100. River space
07:12 dollar sign one 0. If you want $100 on
07:16 River, I will send you a $100 of my
07:18 Bitcoin. Not like charitable donation
07:20 Bitcoin, but like my hard-earned
07:23 Bitcoin, I will send you a $100 of my
07:25 very own hard hard-earned Bitcoin that I
07:28 could use for anything. I will send that
07:30 to you. If you message me on Facebook
07:32 Messenger, River $100, I will send you
07:35 $100 of free Bitcoin on River, which is
07:37 a great way to start out if you’re just
07:39 starting out for the first time and
07:41 you’re not sure how to get Bitcoin and
07:42 how to set it up and how to do it right.
07:44 If I send you a link to $100 of free
07:46 Bitcoin on River, it guides you through
07:48 the process of creating an account and
07:49 waiting for you on the other side is
07:51 $100 of free Bitcoin. So, I’m happy to
07:54 provide that to anybody if you don’t
07:55 already have $100 of free Bitcoin on
07:58 River. happy to send that your way. If
08:01 you’re sitting on a ton of Bitcoin, I’m
08:02 not trying to just give you more Bitcoin
08:04 for no reason. I’m trying to onboard
08:06 people that are new. So, if you are new
08:07 to Bitcoin or if you don’t have a River
08:09 account or if you have a small amount of
08:12 Bitcoin or less than $100 of Bitcoin,
08:14 message me river $100 and I will send
08:16 you $100 of free Bitcoin on River to
08:18 help get you started. I’m doing
08:20 everything I can. If there’s anything I
08:21 could possibly be doing, I am attempting
08:24 to shout from the rooftops. I’m doing
08:26 everything I can conceivably think of to
08:28 do to educate and onboard people to
08:31 Bitcoin. But if you can think of
08:32 something I’m not doing to educate and
08:34 onboard people to Bitcoin, please let me
08:36 know because the window of opportunity
08:39 is closing for Main Street. It is not
08:41 closed yet. The window of opportunity is
08:44 closing for Main Street. It’s not
08:45 closed, but it’s not going to stay open
08:47 forever. And the more time that goes by,
08:50 the harder it is for Main Street to
08:52 frontr run Wall Street. So, please
08:54 everybody get with the program, learn
08:56 about Bitcoin, and get as much Bitcoin
08:58 as you can. And I’m here to help you and
09:00 be your sherpa and guide you.
