Yesterday a good client of mine from my mortgage broking days called seeking investment advice. 

He told me, 

“Matt, I work my ass off as a miner, earning $250,000 a year, and I still can’t get ahead. 

What am I doing wrong?” 🤷‍♂️ 

He said he’s thinking about buying an investment property.

Or starting an Airbnb business. 

And he asked what I thought.

I told him I sold my entire investment property portfolio for Bitcoin.

So my thoughts were going to be 100% skewed towards that. 😝

He said he was open to Bitcoin, but is scared it might fail.

Or be at the top of a bubble that won’t go up forever. 🫧 

Which I totally understand. 

As that was once me. 

(And every Bitcoiner before you’re a Bitcoiner.)

//

My advice was…

To first understand the problem. 

Like, *really* understand it. 

I told him to learn what money is. 

The history of money. 

The difference between medium of exchange AND storer of value. 

And to learn why a shiny rock we call gold became money. 

And why gold doesn’t work in a digital age. 

Then…

Inflation.

Money printing. 

Unpayable government debt. 

Etc etc.

//

He hung up motivated AF to learn. 

Better still, 

he already messaged me this morning saying @LynAldenContact ‘s Broken Money video blew his mind wide open last night. 🤯

The punchline, as always?

Understand inflation. 
Understand Bitcoin. 

Happy Monday, fellow psychopaths! 🌞
