    On this episode, I explore how 0.1 BTC could allow millennials and really anyone to retire by 2045. 21 years away to retirement would be a dream for most millennials, gen-z and certainly gen-alphas!

  • E127 - Global Bitcoin Adoption Incoming With Thomas Fahrer
    Jun 18 2024

    In this episode, Thomas Fahrer joins Jarrett once again to discuss the current state of Bitcoin and its potential for future growth and global adoption. This conversation touches upon a lot of different topics related to Bitcoin including but not limited to:

    ⚡️ Bitcoin is currently at an all-time high and has seen increased interest and adoption since the launch of Bitcoin ETFs.

    ⚡️ Institutional investors, such as BlackRock and Fidelity, are entering the Bitcoin market, signaling a shift towards mainstream acceptance.

    ⚡️ Bitcoin's unique properties as a deflationary asset make it an attractive store of value compared to traditional assets like gold.

    ⚡️ The total market cap of Bitcoin is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, potentially surpassing gold's market share.

    ⚡️ Owning a home is a common investment strategy, but investing in Bitcoin may offer better long-term wealth-building opportunities. Renting may be a better strategy than buying a home in the current economic climate.

    ⚡️ Institutional investors have a longer-term perspective and are driving the adoption of Bitcoin.

    ⚡️ Spending Bitcoin is important for its network and utility, but its primary value lies in its store of value properties.

    ⚡️ Bitcoin adoption is more likely to be driven by financial institutions and portfolio diversification than by everyday transactions.

    ⚡️ The United States is likely to be a powerful economic nation that embraces Bitcoin, given its association with freedom and the growing interest of political candidates in the cryptocurrency.

    ⚡️ Bitcoin offers an opportunity for wealth preservation and is becoming an essential asset in investment portfolios.

    ⚡️ Bitcoin's adoption is influenced by government policies and regulations, but its decentralized nature allows individuals to transact freely.

    ⚡️ Bitcoin's impact on the middle class and the decline of traditional assets like government bonds is significant.

    ⚡️ Accessing the flow state in Bitcoin involves staying informed about institutional adoption and following the news and analysis of Bitcoin's impact on the financial world.

  • E126 - Tomorrow's Golf Apparel Meets Web3 With Daniella Rosa From AIEA Golf
    Jun 10 2024

    Daniella Rosa, founder of AIEA Golf, joins the pod to discuss her mission to create elevated sportswear apparel for women on the golf course. From challenges sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities, Daniella shares all her highs and lows creating AIEA including but not limited to:

    ⚡️ The golf apparel market lacks high-quality, stylish options for women, and Daniella saw an opportunity to fill this gap.

    ⚡️ Sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities were major challenges in launching the brand.

    ⚡️ Community building is a key aspect of the mission - creating a space where people can come together, learn, and enjoy the sport. Creating a strong, organic community is more important than having a large number of followers or members.

    ⚡️ Web3 technology has the potential to enhance the brand's offerings and create new opportunities in the golf industry. Incorporating web3 into a business can provide unique opportunities for community building and engagement.

    ⚡️Building an NFT membership project comes with challenges, such as the complexity of onboarding users and finding trustworthy collaborators.

    ⚡️ Collaborating with web3 influencers and brands can help expand the reach and impact of a business.

    ⚡️ The future involves integrating NFC chips into clothing and allowing members to have voting rights in the brand's decision-making process.
