The last 2 months, if anything, have showed us that your money is not yours. Banks and governments will do WHATEVER they want with your life if they don’t agree with the smallest thing you do. From the freedom convoys to Ukraine.
It will eventually come for all of us. History as shown us that time and again.
There is a way out. It’s self-sovereignty. It’s owning your life. And I truly mean owning your life, your actions. All of it. But that’s for another day.
Holding physical metals; gold and silver, and owning the keys to your bitcoin. “Not your keys, not your coins.”
Hell, you can probably add cars to this list now. If someone can turn off your car at a moments notice without your permission, do you really own it?
But I digress.
I had a couple missions once I retired from professional hockey in 2012: figure out my relationships/family and help everyone around me prepare for what was coming.
The GFC (great financial crisis) of 2008 and the election of 2012 were massive wake calls as a 21 and 25 year old. I could see that Americans weren’t paying attention. They didn’t see the socialism/communism right in front of their eyes. Like sheep to slaughter.
The 2020 election marked the point of no return. It’s time to get out of the system. I felt the tugs from the Lord at each of those inflection points.
Massive steps moving forward must be taken now if you wish to have freedom.
“And never, never forget. Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” - Benjamin Franklin
The goal of the World Economic Forum and governments is CONTROL. Period. It is literally their stated goal. Well that and decreasing the population. AKA killing people off and encouraging smaller families. Again, a topic the boys at the “Club of Rome” I am sure don’t want me to expose.
If you look at everything the elites do through the lens of control, then it all comes in to focus easily and you can predict their moves.
A couple important notes regarding questions I always receive with bitcoin:
How or how much do I buy to start in bitcoin? What’s my goal?
Get off zero (it is riskier to have no bitcoin than it is to have some)
Then .28 bitcoin (mathematically top 1% of bitcoin hodl’ers)
Then 1 whole bitcoin (will be rare to know someone with a whole coin by end of decade)
For purchases, just DCA (dollar cost average) for now. Then buy tranches on dips. I buy on this app Strike (low fees and built by a massive bitcoin entrepreneur who just partnered with all the biggest PoS systems in the world, Jack Mallers. World-changer. Referral link where we both get $10 in bitcoin. All platforms have referrals but this is best one currently.)
Think of savings/retirement as your cold storage wallet (Jade, Trezor, Coldcard. All open-source wallets.)
Get one of those cold storage wallets for now (Then you can hold in MultiSig in Casa eventually.)
Think of your Checking as mobile wallet (Aqua, Muun, BlueWallet. All bitcoin lightning wallets.)
For now, this is most important because most people can do this ASAP without waiting for a cold storage wallet to get shipped and you can get off exchanges within minutes.
I mean do this NOW.
Just send your bitcoin from your Strike app to your the address of your wallet. Don’t send all your BTC (bitcoin) at once. Send a little and do some tests and get comfortable at first.
If you send your bitcoin to the wrong place you can lose it forever.
Freedom = Responsibility.
Bonus: Here is a little primer on some of the things you can do if you find yourself locked out of the system. Or if you want to use your new found bitcoin wealth outside of the legacy system banking:
"So your accounts are frozen starter pack!"
Stay strong,

Ps. Next time we talk about where Bitcoin price can go and how it gets there. (Hint: it’s in the millions)
As they say in the bitcoin community, “people come for the money and stay for the freedom.”
