- 0:00What is your most valuable asset?
- 0:01Is it your TV, your car, your house, or that deflated
- 0:04basketball you have in the garage signed by the entire team
- 0:07in the 94 Clippers? Well, I'm here to tell you that
- 0:10there is an asset out there that is more valuable than all of
- 0:13those things combined. More valuable than any company
- 0:15or industry or even the entire Bitcoin market cap.
- 0:18You may even own some of this already.
- 0:20Can you guess what that asset is?
- 0:21It's your time. Your time is your most valuable
- 0:24asset. At first this is an easy concept
- 0:27to discard. OK, time is my most valuable
- 0:30asset. Thank you for the motivational
- 0:33Instagram post. But it's true, without your
- 0:35time, you're unable to enjoy everything else life has to
- 0:37offer. Question is, do you own your
- 0:39time already or are you spending it on things you'd rather not?
- 0:43Between work, trips to the grocery store, taking out the
- 0:46garbage, doing the dishes, how much of your time do you
- 0:50actually own? As we grow, our lives require
- 0:52more and more resources to sustain themselves.
- 0:55More energy, money, and time. Problem with time is it needs a
- 0:58mechanism for storage. If you give someone your time,
- 1:03you're likely expecting something in return.
- 1:05So we need a way to store that time that was spent doing
- 1:07something else so we could use it for ourselves later down the
- 1:10line. That's what money is, if you
- 1:13didn't know. You could think of money as
- 1:16economic energy, just like you could think of fat as organic
- 1:20energy. You eat a lot, you store fat,
- 1:23and now if you have to go without food for two 3-4 weeks,
- 1:25you're not going to starve to. Death money is a way of storing
- 1:27your time, time you've spent working.
- 1:31But there's a couple problems here.
- 1:32The current way to store your time the dollar or the yen or
- 1:37the euro or the pound, they're all Fiat currencies.
- 1:41Now. Can any one of you tell me what
- 1:43a Fiat currency is? Yes.
- 1:45Go ahead. Yes.
- 1:46Isn't that like a value by decree or like value derived
- 1:50from a central party policy and can be issued infinitely and
- 1:54backed only by the full faith and credit of our military
- 1:56industrial complex that creates governing mechanisms simply
- 2:00through capital controls? Yes, that's right here.
- 2:03Currencies like the dollar are printed into existence every
- 2:06single second. Magically, these currencies are
- 2:09then pumped into our financial system like water and our
- 2:12financial plumbing. But imagine in that network of
- 2:14pipes and valves, there's a leak.
- 2:18It starts small, but if not attended to, it'll turn into a
- 2:21bigger leak. That leads to a system that
- 2:23loses pressure and becomes weaker.
- 2:25Imagine what eventually happens in that system.
- 2:28A drip, a stream, a flood. Whatever it is, it needs to be
- 2:32fixed. Now remember your most valuable
- 2:34asset, No, not that one, no, you're fully owned time.
- 2:38And if you're living in a Fiat currency system, are you living
- 2:40in a Fiat currency system? Then the thing you use to store
- 2:42your time, your most valuable asset, is leaking at 2:00.
- 2:45Percent. In Venezuela they had it and
- 2:47Nigeria, they're getting it right now.
- 2:49You work, I give you $100 and the $100 buys you 4 meals.
- 2:55But then in three months it buys you one meal, and then in 12
- 2:58months it buys you one soda, and in 24 months it buys you
- 3:02nothing. OK, so now you've got a problem.
- 3:05You can't store economic energy. So what happens when when the
- 3:09currency dies or the money dies? Well, the society gets ripped
- 3:13back to Stone Age barter. What it means is you can't, you
- 3:16can't save anything. And also it means that the unit
- 3:20of account breaks down so you can't trade.
- 3:23Think of the leak like inflation.
- 3:25The more and more I pump in, if there's a leak, that energy does
- 3:30not stay, it deflates. So it requires more and more
- 3:34inflation to keep its shape. So this inflation rate that the
- 3:38Federal Reserve is trying to meet, this magic 2 percent, 3%
- 3:42inflation rate, this essentially is the amount of time that is
- 3:45leaking out of the system for all of us.
- 3:47Usafax.org states that the current inflation rate is 3%
- 3:52now. It's probably much higher for
- 3:53you and your local jurisdiction. That's 3% of your time that is
- 3:57leaking out of that system. The leak is getting pretty big
- 3:59too. Since the severing of gold from
- 4:01the dollar in 1971. You know the Nixon shocked, the
- 4:04dollar has leaked 90% of its value, meaning you can buy 90%
- 4:08less with a dollar today than you could in 1971.
- 4:11Wow, I'm Nixon shocked. That's entropy, folks.
- 4:16Now, why in God's green screen would you ever want to store
- 4:19your time in a currency that is leaking 2-3 or whatever percent
- 4:23a year? Imagine you're losing 2 to 3% of
- 4:26your time per year. Wouldn't you want to store your
- 4:29wealth in a system that doesn't leak your most valuable asset?
- 4:32Please tell me what should I store my time in?
- 4:34Are you going to say Bitcoin? Because I swear to God I'm going
- 4:36to leave if you say Bitcoin, it's Bitcoin.
- 4:38Bitcoin stores time like no other asset ever in all of
- 4:41history. But before we get to that, we're
- 4:43going to need some gear. In a time of crisis, you want to
- 4:46ensure that you and your loved ones have open communication
- 4:49lines no matter what's happening around you.

- 5:10than all the other time storage methods on the market?
- 5:12Bitcoin isn't just a speculative asset, it's a closed system. 1
- 5:16without leaks. Programmed into Bitcoin is a 21
- 5:19million supply cap. OK, what does that mean?
- 5:21It means there's only ever going to be 21 million coins.
- 5:24Unlike the dollar, that other storage container for your time
- 5:27that leaks 2 or 3 or 4% a year, Bitcoin's network remains within
- 5:31a 21 million supply cap. So if you store your harder work
- 5:34in Bitcoin today, we're very clear that the same amount of
- 5:37Bitcoin will be there tomorrow. This is different than if you
- 5:40store your hard earned work into $100 bill today.
- 5:43The same amount of $100 bills will not be there tomorrow,
- 5:47probably more. Your efforts will not be
- 5:49inflated away over days, weeks, months or years.
- 5:52If properly secured, your .01 Bitcoin in your wallet today
- 5:56will be the same .01 Bitcoin in your wallet in five years, and
- 6:00its supply has not been added to or subtracted from that.
- 6:03Value remains constant. No leaks.
- 6:06OK, but how can I ensure that bitcoins value will rise over
- 6:08time? I think the better question is
- 6:11will Fiat lose value over time? Built into the mechanics of
- 6:14every Fiat currency is a certainty that it will lose
- 6:17value over time. Remember, it's not more dollars
- 6:20that are desirable, it's more purchasing power.
- 6:22Because dollars lose their value over time and that rate is only
- 6:26increasing because of inflation. Bitcoin absorbs that liquidity
- 6:29that's pumped into the system, making it appear as it's growing
- 6:33in value. But what's actually happening is
- 6:35that your dollars are getting weaker and weaker to an asset
- 6:37like Bitcoin. So the time you put in today, if
- 6:40stored in Bitcoin, not only will keep its purchasing power, but
- 6:44will likely increase in purchasing power over time,
- 6:47which is a return on your time. With this, Bitcoin preserves
- 6:51your time and makes your stored time more valuable.
- 6:54So the money breaks down, the civilization breaks down.
- 6:58That's the danger. But normally in most modern
- 7:01societies, the money doesn't break down as a medium of
- 7:04exchange. It breaks down as a store of
- 7:08value. So that means that, yeah, you
- 7:13can store money for 12 to 36 months or maybe up to 10 years
- 7:18in the dollar. You can't store it for a
- 7:21lifetime. So if if you have some money,
- 7:26you can't just store the money. If you want to keep your
- 7:30economic energy, you have to gamble it or invest it.
- 7:33You have to speculate it with it.
- 7:34Or you know, you worked your entire life, you have a certain
- 7:38amount of retirement and now if you store it in the bank, it'll
- 7:40be worth nothing. So you have to go and invest it
- 7:43in the stock market. But if you pick wrong, you lose
- 7:46it. So we basically force we force
- 7:49people to be gamblers, speculators or hedge fund
- 7:53managers if the money's broken. Your time is the one thing you
- 7:57have on this earth, and if you don't know how to store it, you
- 8:00may end up losing it. Do yourself a favor and go store
- 8:03your time in something that can't be manipulated and printed
- 8:05out of nothing. That's Bitcoin.
