[0:00]The next Bitcoin bull run can make you rich, unlike anything else. There's specific words in that title that I'm going to dive in on today. The specific words are next and the ending unlike anything else. If you're here, you already know Bitcoin can make you rich. You know that. You should know that, but specifically talking about next, next Bitcoin bull run, and unlike anything else. My name is Brian. I've been a personal finance nerd my entire life. I found out about Bitcoin in 2014, started buying it in 2015. And as my interest in Bitcoin continued to accelerate throughout there, both for the movement that it is, but also the financial empowerment tool it is for, you know, you as a person, both just increased. And now I love both sides of it. I can talk about both sides, the fix the money fix the world, and why it's a great investment for you personally. I've spent the last few years of my life working inside Bitcoin Fintech companies, building Bitcoin financial services. I've talked to thousands of Bitcoiners about how they incorporate Bitcoin into their personal finances, all the way from they just bought their first $20 yesterday, all the way up to, you know, fully integrated, close their bank account, living off of it, right? And everyone in between. That's what makes Bitcoin so fascinating is that it runs that entire spectrum. And now you got with the ETF, you got people that just only hold ETF, and I I love all of it and can talk to all of it. So, regardless of where you're coming from, I appreciate that you're here. There's some people that come from Bitcoin only channels, some people that come from crypto channels, some people that come from dividend investing channels, and you know, haven't don't have any Bitcoin ETF yet. I love all of it. Appreciate you being here. Okay, next. Today's a great day. Today's up, right? Green candle day, it's up. I think crossing like 81,000. That's great and awesome and excellent. The next Bitcoin bull run can make you rich. It's unclear if this is the beginning of the bull run, okay? That's unclear, and you can find every opinion, every which way on YouTube, which is what sucks in a lot of people, right? What I can speak about from personal experience, what I want to speak about from personal experience, is for several, several, several years, I was the permable, just permable of like, Bitcoin is always going up. It's always going up. It's always a great time. And that was for two reasons. One, it was because I was inside the Bitcoin companies themselves. And so, you kind of have to like brace yourself because there's so much negativity around Bitcoin and so much uncertainty around Bitcoin. You almost have to brace yourself inside of it and just really steal yourself off of like, no, the logic is true and sound, it's going up, everyone is figuring out, it's growing, it's growing, it's growing, right? So there's that, and then there's also the part about, yeah, the movement side of it of like, like fiat money is bad. Fiat money is bad for society and bad for the world and bad for the individual. Fiat money is the number one driver of the K-shaped economy and the wealth gap throughout the entire world. Fiat money is bad, and so I would wake up every day with that passion to share that message, and that would be my top priority, above my own kind of personal investing priority, which led me to, quote unquote, be over allocated to Bitcoin. Now, when I'm saying that in a neutral way, is being over allocated to Bitcoin a bad thing? No. I actually, I don't think it is. Is being over allocated to a concentrated investment that can drive wealth creation for your life bad? No, absolutely not. And that's part of the problem with kind of like the modern financial advising landscape is that they hammer diversification, diversification, diversification so hard that people kind of you they just like stick in VOO and stick in the S&P 500 and stick in the index funds and stick in the 60 40 bond, like, they stick in these things that are they don't have any conviction behind them, and they're just kind of plotting along. That is more equivalent to saving, not investing. Investing is having a conviction and having a probabilistic thinking of how the future is going to play out and positioning your money to take advantage of that. Saving is just working and keeping some of it, working and keeping some of it, not spending all of it, okay? Fiat money doesn't work for savings because the value of the dollar goes down. Savings accounts don't keep up with the expansion of the USD supply, so people invest in index funds. Passive flow index investing just goes up, just plots up because everyone is saving in that tool, okay? So, why does that matter? That matters because like I want you to hear that being, yeah, I just want you to hear, being over allocated is not bad, as long as you know what you're doing and you're doing it on purpose. With that being said, being over allocated and having a permable thesis and not being able to kind of objectively stand back and feel the ups and downs of Bitcoin. Like I have felt the ups and downs of Bitcoin in my life, but I have not like like the commitment to Bitcoin has remained and then other parts of my life have been more volatile than they needed to be. And that right there, that right there is what I'm switching. That's the mindset that I have switched to where I now am lowering the volatility in my investments and I'm increasing the stability and the tried and true growth in my life. And I mean that with like, uh, lifestyle goals and kids and real estate, like, my career, like those I've switched both those things, okay? So, that change of mindset has given me the ability to feel objectively differently about the term bull market and bear market. If you would ask me years ago, hey, are we in a bull market, are we in a bear market? I'd be like, Bitcoin's been in a bull market since 2009. Like, it and there is that thing, there can be that pump-up mentality of like, Bitcoin is growing and the opportunity is awesome. That is all true. That's all absolutely true, and I'm not swinging all the way to the other side of the spectrum where I'm here pulling up charts every day, telling you how to time this week's move between 79,000 and 81,000. That's not what I'm talking about either, because that's not what I do. The middle, the middle of those two realities, of being the day trader, being the weekly trader, and being the like permable Bitcoin is taking over, nothing can stop it, all the time guy, is, here's here's the reality, like midterm years are bad. In like, throughout investing. Throughout investing, mid-term years are bad, and here's the reason. The reason is because in the United States, and I talk primarily to like 30 to 60-year-olds in the United States, okay? 35 to 55, 30 to 60. Like if you're outside that range, that's fine, like I'm not that's not a hard cut off, but I just want I'm there's so many people talking on YouTube. There's so many people that'll talk you take you down like X-Pat strategies and like digital nomad like I just want you to be very clear. Like I have two kids, send them to private school, like I care about the town that I live in. Like, that's who I'm talking to, okay? Uh, mid-term years are not good for investing across the board. And part of growing older is recognizing that, recognizing that, because in the United States, politics and wealth building is the same thing. It's combined. Politics and wealth building is combined. And so, when you have family offices and wealthy individuals and hedge funds and da da da da da, all the people, right? All the multimillionaires and billionaires in the United States, the decisions of who wins Congress affects their bank account, a lot. It it affects their uh, investment accounts, a lot. So, they act so those people act differently during mid-term years, and you should be aware of that. You don't have to base all your decisions around that, but you should be aware of that. And so, the next Bitcoin bull run can make you rich. It's unclear if this is the start of one, which doesn't mean you should hold all cash and like wait for some awesome uh bottom to buy it. That's might not be the exact right thing to do either. But being aware that mid-term years are bad, and being aware of your bias towards being a permable, that in my own experience has helped me a lot, and I'm actually really proud of the way that I have been able to kind of stand back and take an objective opinion. I think that there's a chance we sweep the lows later this year, but that's not bad and that's fine, and it's good, and the next Bitcoin bull run can make you rich. Okay, now unlike anything else, unlike anything else, this part is something that people need to understand. And it's ties to the S&P 500 and the diversification point that I made, okay? The regular person, the regular American millionaire is saving in the S&P 500, and they're saving in their primary residence, that's what the regular American millionaire is doing.
[10:14]And they're saving in their work 401K, and their work 401K won't let them move out of a target date fund which mixes stocks and bonds. Okay? That's what the regular American millionaire is doing. So, Bitcoin is still a counter trend. It's still a counter trend, even at the size that it is today, even at the size that it was at the all-time highs. And you are taking advantage of the counter trend. You're purposefully doing something that the regular American millionaire is not doing. And you choosing to do something that the regular person is not doing makes you different, which means that your outcome is going to be different. So Bitcoin can make you rich, unlike anything else, and you need that. You need that part that's a little bit different. And so, you can choose which sizing, we've talked about over allocation, we talked, you can talk about which sizing fits that, according to how old you are, how much you already have in the things that people already do. Bitcoin, unlike anything else, positions you away from what the normal American millionaire is doing. If you made it all the way to the end, I would love to connect with you. There's three ways you can do that, okay? And the links are numbered in the description. Number one, we're having a summit in Southern California at the end of this year at the intersection of Bitcoin personal finance and longevity. I believe both are uniquely linked, as longevity and lifespan goes up, as health gets more customized, as AI moves into health care. Longevity is going up, which directly impacts career planning, retirement planning, how to save for your personal finances, and as Bitcoin continues to eat more and more of the conversation around personal finance, those things are um, uniquely linked. I used to run the largest uh Bitcoin meet up on the West Coast in Anaheim for several years. This is the new version of that. And so, once a year, we're going to get together, people from the channel, Bitcoiners that I know in Southern California, Bitcoiners that I know across the country, and then I'm bringing in the like health and longevity related people that keep popping up in my life, and we're going to have a great time. It's at a resort called Morata Hot Springs. If you want an early ticket offer for that, send me an email, Bryan@BryanHarrington.org. And put those dates in your phone, November 3 to 5. Second way, you have the opportunity to book a one-on-one call. If you want to talk about Bitcoin personal finance, I love talking to people directly one-on-one from the channel. And so, would love to jam with you, just open-ended for 30 minutes about whatever you want to talk about. If you're a business owner, I have led growth and marketing for several companies, and I would love to talk to you about your marketing and growth and product plans. If you want a second opinion on any of that, I have some free time available for consulting and employment relationships like that. And so, don't be afraid to reach out, send me an email or book that call. And the third way, if you want to have more of a uh ongoing chat with people from the channel, go ahead and click join, and then find your way into the private members-only Discord. It's a few bucks a month, you can cancel any time. Go ahead, pop in there, introduce yourself, and talk to other people that are incorporating Bitcoin deeper into their personal finances. All right, good luck on this next bull run.
