The episode explores Bitcoin as a powerful, accessible tool for wealth preservation in an era of rising inflation and financial instability. It emphasizes that while fiat money loses value, Bitcoin’s scarcity and decentralized nature make it a resilient asset. The core idea is that individuals can use smart financial strategies—like leveraging 60% extra capital through services such as Vity or Invitee—to buy more Bitcoin without needing large personal funds. This leveraged approach, combined with dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and automatic market timing, allows users to accumulate Bitcoin efficiently and safely over time. The discussion underscores that Bitcoin’s value is not just in price increases but in its ability to act as a hedge against systemic risks like government intervention or economic collapse. Real-world experiences—such as inflation spikes or geopolitical crises—help individuals grasp why Bitcoin matters. The episode also highlights that while Bitcoin adoption has grown, many people still lack full conviction due to fear or misinformation. Tools like the Vity app offer user-friendly entry points through features like Turbo Buy, which gives users extra Bitcoin on purchases, making accumulation more accessible. Ultimately, the message is that Bitcoin is not only a speculative asset but a foundational tool for building long-term, independent wealth. The game is still winnable, and with proper strategy and patience, anyone can participate—even with just 100 euros.

For the same amount of work,
we will get more money,
but the value of the money is getting worse and worse.
So on the paper, your salary is increasing,
but you are buying 40% less of the assets.
And with Bitcoin, it was even worse.
I absolutely understand why Michael Sailor
is doing his financial alchemy.
It's all about getting more purchasing power.
Right now, true someone else's money by an asset,
which will be more valuable in the future,
which is Bitcoin.
But once it's more valuable,
you sell a small portion of it
and you repaid this extra capital.
You don't have to be a company.
You don't have to be a publicly traded micro strategy company.
You don't have to be the Michael Sailor.
And it's a great way how to start
and how to use the system.
In my humble opinion,
we are right at the start of a major bull run.
And every time before a bull run starts,
I ask myself the question,
how can I get more Bitcoin?
And that's why I invited today the financial genius
behind really big Bitcoin companies like Treasure.
To talk about the macro landscape
that we are entering in with Radalios thesis,
with the Bitcoin cycles.
Why using the fear system is a good thing
when you want to get a more Bitcoin.
And why it is so important
to get to one Bitcoin, 10 Bitcoin,
100 Bitcoin, whatever your goal is
to stack as aggressively as possible,
but in a responsible and safe way,
and how we blabbs without the billions of dollars
can do a strategy that is similar to Michael Sailor's
with buying up to 60% more Bitcoin
with every single buy you do and try.
I have this feeling that a lot of people look at
what strategy and Sailor's doing
and look at what they can potentially also do
with Bitcoin because they want to have Bitcoin,
they want to have it in self-custody,
they want to have their own control.
And I think you have some really interesting thoughts
on how you, I think you said,
you can be your own sailor of your Bitcoin strategy.
What's kind of your overall thought
using Bitcoin in a really smart way
to accumulate as many as possible?
Great question.
Let me start with a first angle point of view.
And it is that probably everyone and Bitcoiners,
of course, heard about inflation.
But I have this experience that people
and especially Bitcoiners do understand
that inflation is increasing the price of the assets.
But they don't realize that it also means
that to buy Bitcoin's and stack sets
it's going to be harder and harder.
Because for the same amount of work we do,
we will get officially more money,
but the value of the money is getting worse and worse.
So I think what is the problem is
that to accumulate Bitcoin's is going to be a tough work
and it's going to be much and much worse.
So that's my first point of view.
I recently did the presentation for Bitcoin conference
and it was very nice because
and this was applied on the Czech Republic, for example.
But I think the story is the same for European Union,
for the USA, and it was this chart of,
let's see what inflation did
and everyone knows these charts.
So it was pretty easy here.
Value of money is decreasing.
But once I added the prices of the assets,
gold stocks really stayed.
It started to be interesting because people now realized
that they are buying minus 40% of gold
of stocks of real estate for the same amount of work.
And in Czech Republic, for example,
the average wage increased by 93% in the last 10 years.
So I think the point is that I absolutely understand
why Michael Seller is doing his financial alchemy.
Whatever the listener or people out there thinks about him
or about the micro strategy,
I think it's a really smart move
because you want to leverage the current losing value
of the money to buy an asset,
which is going to be more and more precious.
And so here starts the story also of the entity
because if you are a corporation in America,
you are publicly traded.
You have so many options, what you can do.
And that's exactly what Michael Seller is doing.
And he's doing it absolutely right.
And we wanted to give this opportunity to people like you
and me, like people who don't want to start
a Bitcoin company or maybe don't want to buy the shares
of the micro strategy because probably they have the feeling
that I want to own the Bitcoin.
I don't want to buy the stocks.
So it means the proxy to the Bitcoin.
And we came up with this very simple idea.
I said, well, on personal level,
if I had some rich grandma, I would ask her,
can you lend me your money so I can buy more Bitcoin?
But since I don't have this grandma,
we can do this as a service,
which means that we, an entity, we can give you extra capital
to buy more Bitcoins.
And so you stack more Bitcoins.
And in the future, once you want,
you can sell a small part of these extra Bitcoins
and repay this extra money.
So the logic is super simple
because people start thinking, okay,
is this kind of a financial alchemy?
What is behind it's super complicated?
Is it leveraged or not?
It's super simple.
Right now, through someone else's money,
buy an asset, which will be more valuable in the future,
which is Bitcoin.
And one, it's more valuable.
You sell a small portion of it
and you repay this extra capital.
So in NFT, we give you 60% extra capital.
And a lot of people ask, why 60%?
Why not 70? 80, 100?
I understand that for average person,
average Bitcoiner, it might be scary
because these people are like, hey, I don't want to have a loan.
I don't want to use someone else's capital
because, you know, is it risky?
And we did a lot of calculations
and we did thousands and thousands and thousands of scenarios
through the whole history of Bitcoin.
And it turned out that if you use 100% extra capital,
which basically means you put 100 euros
and you get 100 euros, it really is a bit risky
because it's too much.
But it turned out there is a healthy level, around 70%.
So we added some reserve and we said, with 60%,
that's the exact amount, which financially
and mathematically make sense to borrow and buy more bitcoins.
And that's why basically and how this idea of,
we call it NFT turbo because the whole word understands
what turbo means, it means something more, something extra.
And so this is the idea, how we created
basically the same system what Michael Seller is using.
And now of course financial experts out there could say,
well, it's not exactly the same, Michael is doing,
I know, I know hands down, hands down,
but I think the principle is the same.
And I call it, let's short the fired
because the world and the problems we see in a fired world
will not be different.
No one is going to change that.
The depth is not going to be lower.
The policy, the money policy is not going to be different.
The problem is going to be only bigger and bigger
in the fired world.
And that's why I think to start using Fiat,
so by more bitcoins is the best strategy of the next years.
And now it's September, 2026, we're talking right now
and I think now is the right time to start with it
because Bitcoin is not on its all time high.
And these are the moments that people are scared
and they don't want to jump into Bitcoin and start something.
But those who will.
are going to be the winners of the next cycle.
So I think the timing is right.
And the whole global situation is showing us clearly
that Bitcoin is the right way how to do it.
- I love that.
And I always say, because a lot of beginners ask me
like how many Bitcoin should I buy?
And it really comes down to your conviction.
It really comes down to how much you believe in Bitcoin.
Because if you believe that Bitcoin will go to zero,
you should have zero Bitcoin.
Like because you shouldn't buy something that goes down.
If you believe that Bitcoin is a great asset
that we go up with like five, 10, 15%,
maybe you can have a small allocation,
you can have something in Bitcoin.
And then there are, I consider myself a hyper pull.
Someone that really believes in Bitcoin
and thinks Bitcoin will be the central point
of our financial system.
Maybe in like a foundational layer,
similar to the age, age, how is it called?
TCP/AP protocol.
So a very foundational layer for how money is built.
And if you believe that and you know,
there will only be the 21 million,
probably a lot less because people lose it
and there are rich people that maybe never sell
a very big part of their Bitcoin.
So it's maybe only 12 million, 15 million, whatever the thing is.
So I think once you understand the tremendous value
of what one Bitcoin even like a few Satoshi is really mean,
you're like, how can I get more right now?
How can I get more?
And then you'll discover the beautiful field system
that allows you to get more Bitcoin today
and that or the loan or whatever you're using
as an instrument gets less valuable,
has less purchasing power and the other one grows.
So you're using that system
that usually more rich people only use
for the everyday person
that just wants to invest in Bitcoin
and don't stand that information asymmetry.
- Absolutely.
And I think it requires you to exactly as you said,
to understand the Bitcoin, understand the financial system
at least a little bit.
But also I think it takes a bit of a courage
and we wanted to make the barrier as slow as possible
because I understand that for some people,
it's very hard to, for example,
take a loan and buy Bitcoins.
But and I wouldn't even recommend this
to take one time, big loan at a certain time
and buy a big amounts of Bitcoin.
So what we wanted to do is to combine good principles
and good tools.
And one of the great tools is the DCA,
which means buying Bitcoin regularly,
every single week or every single month,
but basically having a strategy, buying it regularly
because it allows you to do the kind of price
everaging of the Bitcoin.
And if you combine this DCA with a micro extra capital,
so it's not a one time big loan,
but it's more like using someone else's capital,
small portion of it regularly,
it's like you combine two very powerful tools all together
and it turned out that this combination,
and as I mentioned, 60% that was from our perspective
the magic formula and do it regularly,
you can really significantly increase the amount
of the Bitcoins you can stack.
And recently, in VityMobile app,
we released third tool.
So you as a user, you can use DCA,
you can use someone else's capital in smart way,
plus you can automatically time the market.
So what we added is that if the Bitcoin
is considered to be on the all time high,
you don't want to buy more of it.
You wanna wait, and once the Bitcoin is in the downturn,
you wanna buy more.
So what we added is we implemented the 120 weeks average
of the Bitcoin and in Vity apps automatically,
and you don't have to do anything, it's automatic.
It values, so is Bitcoin overpriced today or underpriced?
And if it's underpriced, it will give you more extra capital,
and if it's overpriced to give you less.
And it turned out that the combination of these three tools
is super powerful for the average user,
and you can start doing this with 100 euros.
So you don't have to be a company,
you don't have to be a publicly traded micro strategy company,
you don't have to be the Michael Seller,
and it's a great way how to start
and how to use the system.
But you said one thing, and it's important,
it all requires to understand the Bitcoin,
understand the system and have trust in the system,
because it's not a bet, it shouldn't be a bet.
It must be a calculated decision.
- If you're only half as bullish as I am,
you wake up with that feeling,
with that craving every single day,
how can I get more Bitcoin?
And I finally found an amazing product
that solves exactly this problem.
The company's called Invitee,
and they have this feature called Turbo Buy.
When you buy 100 euros worth of Bitcoin,
you get 160 euros back in Bitcoin.
So over time, when you accumulate into Bitcoin,
you end up with more Bitcoin
than you would have bought with a normal DCA plan.
Go to Invitee.io/Robin, download the app,
and use code Robin, that's R-O-B-I-N, code Robin,
with which you get up to 50 euros
on your first buys back in Bitcoin,
and let's stack more Bitcoin together.
- I love that.
Maybe for people that are not as convinced yet
about Bitcoin, they maybe have only a small allocation
to Bitcoin, they maybe just dabble and slowly get into,
because I think, as we approach this,
hopefully bold market,
I think we have more and more of those people
that are interested in Bitcoin, have some conviction,
but are not yet on the level of saying, "I love it,
"I'll just go almost all in,
"or go very hard on Bitcoin."
How do you explain someone what value Bitcoin has,
like the immense value Bitcoin potentially has in the future?
- So, I must admit, it's hard,
it depends on the listener,
and I will give you one great example.
So, when I discovered Bitcoin,
I think it was back in 2016, something like that,
and then I started talking to my friends and family,
I spoke with my grandma,
and I started the discussion because she was curious,
like what is this, the Bitcoin,
and I was like, my first idea was you're too old to understand,
but I tried, and it was super interesting
because she got it very quickly,
because I started explaining, "It's a better money,"
and she asked, "Okay, what do you mean by better money?"
And I started, "It's not controlled by the government,
"you will not change the rules,
"and it's independent, decentralized, and you own it."
And she got it into a few seconds, why?
Because she had the experience from the communism,
and she said, "Yeah, I experienced
"when our family lost everything in the bank,
"because there was, in the Czech Republic 1953,
"there was a change of money."
It was a monetary kind of decision of the communist government,
and basically what they did is,
they changed the exchange rate of the money,
one, two, I think it was one thousand something like that,
so if you had 100,000 crowns, you had 100 crowns.
And it was interesting to speak with someone
who has a real experience,
these people will got it immediately.
And back to your question with younger people,
I think sometimes it's hard to explain,
because these people didn't experience such thinking life
so far, especially during the last, I think, 10, 15 years.
So I think mostly our generation is people
who started to work in an era of quantitative easing,
so basically money were falling from the sky,
and everyone kind of used to it.
And I think it requires you to experience
some issues with the financial system.
And unfortunately, this will happen,
and we are the generation who will face it.
That's what I think,
but for some people it will be too late,
because yet they don't feel the need for it,
so that requires to explain to your friends.
And I remember, and that's a nice three-year member,
I used to speak about inflation
as one of the arguments for the Bitcoin.
And I remember before COVID,
at least here in Czech Republic,
inflation was actually not an issue,
like it used to be pretty like normal 2% something like that and I had the
feelings that some friends told me like hey you're talking about inflation about
you know fat losing value but this episode is brought to you by Google Chrome

the covid came and you know a lot of money flow into the economics and the
inflation here in Czech Republic was around above 10% per year and it was a shock
for people and they remember some of my friends finally got it and they said
okay it can happen and it can happen overnight and I think this is the this
requires a real life experience to really understand why Bitcoin is needed
and why someone should put it into the portfolio yeah I've heard that quote
once like either you are nerd and you really study those topics or you
experience some pain in the past yeah yeah and of course it's great and I
think of course we shouldn't be annoying I know a lot of Bitcoiners can be
annoying yeah it can be annoying but I think it's it's nice to kind of use some
examples so what I also like and you know just mention it because some people
just need some time to think about it and I don't want to persuade anyone to
buy Bitcoins but nice example for even a very rich people is the war in Ukraine
right now and for some people it was unimaginable that there is a war in Europe
and to imagine that you must leave everything here in Prague and for example
flee from the country and I have one specific it's not really a friend but it's
a person I know and this guy is investor in real estate and like for the last
20 years he used to invest every single euro into the real estate because this
guy is perceived or used to be perceived that's the only real value so it was
interesting once this war started and the ones I started to have a
conversation and I explained hey I know some people who were able to reallocate
into different country and thanks to Bitcoin they were able to you know start
immediately and reallocate their whole life savings pretty much without
anything needed like it was just like that and it was the moment this person
started to think about it and now this person decided that at least 5% from
his whole wealth will be allocated into Bitcoin but again I think for some
people it requires external motivation and usually unfortunately a bad one
like a bad example or an issue to really understand why maybe it's right
time to do it but and one last thing when you I think it's increasingly easy
for Bitcoiners to explain Bitcoin in this world considering the geopolitics
considering the depth considering what is going on I think 10 years ago it was
hard to explain at least a harder to explain but these days I think more and
more people finally get it because they see it all around them I think so too
and you mentioned before we started recording Redalio and his feces around
the cycles that also plays into all of that how do you look at his feces
around the cycles America and China and all of those coming to play with Bitcoin
so I really like Redalio and his books I'm of course trying to filter some
information even though he's like genius genius mind but I try to put it into
perspective because nobody knows what will happen but I must really admit that
these principles when you look at them from the very basic perspective and it's
pretty simple it's if you are building a depth at some point you must repay
it right and if you will not do that it will cause some effects and that's the
cycle of the depth and I think this theory makes a lot of sense and for
example he has a book Big Depth Crisis and it's the analysis of I think 40
examples even from the past how different countries went through the very same
drama and the principles how always the same which is for me kind of a
shocking like it can happen in Argentina it can happen in Vimar Republic in
Germany but it also happened in the United States it can happen in Europe it
can happen in Greece or it happened so I think it's important to be curious and
to put things into perspective and back to the original question I think that
we can see it right now and the recent I think there's few weeks ago a
Radalio for the first time mentioned that he can recommend the
allocation into gold and into Bitcoin and it was the first time I heard from
Radalio to really recommend I think he mentioned like small portion into
Bitcoin so he was I think it was a kind of a disclaimer but I think it's again
a confirmation that these very smart people were spending their whole life
studying the economics and what is going on are not talking about Bitcoin it's
not a coincidence it's also interesting because you have to realize the
context of a person for Radalio to come out to even speak about Bitcoin is a
huge move and so some people then say like oh why don't you come out and say
like put 50% in like that's something that that would never have because you
need to have the context of him and that only happens like not never but like
it happens over time as it slowly gets there because not but coming back to
say they're not or everyone goes find something and just goes all in one other
aspect that came to my mind when you were speaking about Bitcoin is I've met a
lot of people that had money in other areas of the life they had real estate
they had other investment vehicles and then converted all of it or a big
portion of it to Bitcoin I have not met someone that had a big portion of the
network and Bitcoin and then said I'm going to be a real estate guy now I'm
going to be a gold guy now so the other direction seemingly does not work as
well I've seen people that said oh I want to buy a home now because of a
community of Bitcoin like that's fair like that but that's not an investment
thesis that's more like an emotional like a practical thesis that's so
fascinating that Bitcoin has this attract that pull thing off it is that
just the number go up is that just because it has such a great track record
and it's the more to it I think it's more to it I think and of course I don't
have the data statistics so I can maybe so let's consider this is my opinion
based on investors I know best on you know big investors I try to keep an eye
on and you know exactly as Ray Dalio he's evolving he's evolving his ideas and
now finally he mentioned Bitcoin but it's other guys as well and I think it's
a really first science that something is going on in the world in the
economy in like global setup of the financial system and it really depends on
which stage you are as a person so what I saw in the past was that people
who want to build the wealth so for them it's stage zero it's I want to
create the value I want to become a financial independent and I want to buy a
house I want to build the assets these people were more willing to invest into
Bitcoin because it was risk reward I have nothing to lose
because I'm building the wealth, so why shouldn't I invest into Bitcoin?
But what I see now is that people from the other side of the spectrum, people who are very
rich, they have a lot of assets, a lot of wealth, are doing the very same with the Bitcoin,
and they are even selling some assets to buy Bitcoin with even a bigger amount of money.
And I think both have different reasons why to do it, but principles are the same.
It's something is going on.
The people in the stage zero are afraid that in the current world, they will not be able
to accumulate wealth to become financially independent, so it's a fear.
And they fear that the global system is not fair to them, probably they might have a
fear that AI will take their jobs or maybe that fired system value and the purchasing power
will be decreasing.
And the people on the other side, they have the very same fear because they already build
the wealth and they are afraid that they will lose the wealth.
So I'm probably not answering your question, but what I feel is that there is definitely
more than just, hey, Bitcoin is going up, let's buy some.
And I think for the guys who are more and more diversifying Bitcoin is diversification and
they don't really care about Bitcoin going up because there is this saying like, of course,
you want to become richer than the others, but there is also the other way.
When the world is going down, you want to go down slower than the others.
And I think that's the mantra for the people on the other side, that Bitcoin for them
doesn't mean only going up, but it can also mean to slow down, you know, the crisis slow
down situations in which stocks will lose value or real estate will lose value or and that's
another reason what I hear these days and it's that people started to be afraid about
capital, governmental rules and taxes.
So I think this is interesting, that it's not only about I want to become rich, thanks
to Bitcoin, I want to be, you know, great assets.
It's not only I want to diversify, but it started to be, I really want to be independent.
I think this mantra of decentralization used to be just a word for a lot of people and
they don't really realize what it means, and it's nice Bitcoin is decentralized, but what
is the benefit?
And right now, with big depth, governments will, of course, be pushed to increase taxes,
to start controlling the capital, to start dictating where you can put your money or
you can't.
And I think that's another chapter for the Bitcoin to show that it's a great asset, even
for this reason.
And the story is so fascinating with the Satoshi Nakamoto not being known still, it's
really unprecedented, like we've never had something like that.
The digital nature, but not being able to be copied or hacked in any other way.
And then of course, as you also mentioned, I think that's a really good insight.
You don't only want to go up to fastest, you also don't want to go down, you also want
to go down the slowest, which brings me, I think, the sharp ratio is probably the best metric
to capture both of them, and not to bring back in strategy again.
But for example, a lot of people point, for example, to strategy or other strategy companies
say, hey, they go up faster, but actually, yes, that's true, a lot of some periods of time,
but they also go down faster.
And after a very deep work into comparing the last six years of strategy was a Bitcoin
price.
And yes, strategy outperforms Bitcoin by quite some margin sometimes in the bull market,
but it goes down a lot faster.
And when you compare the sharp ratio, the Bitcoin one is a lot better.
For people that don't know the sharp ratio, it compares how faster asset grows to the volatility,
which in a traditional financial space, people call risk, I don't like calling volatility
risk, but that's what it is.
So I think that's also, it's such a unique asset, it has an amazing story, it has a great
sharp ratio, it still has a very energetic asset, so it's not like very slow to move like
gold or real estate, it's like very great for news headlines because it's always open
Saturday Sunday, there's always something going on.
You can get caught up in the new cycle of Bitcoin, so it's a very unique asset in the
world.
Absolutely, and the reasons to buy Bitcoin is increasing, but at the same time, I'm afraid
a lot of people are stuck and they probably are losing the trust because they see that
they are losing their purchasing power.
And let's say Czech Republic as an example, we have a very bad ratio between how much you
earn per year average number compared to how much an apartment average apartment costs
you, and there is this ratio like 20 or something like that, so you must spend a lot of money
to buy even an average apartment.
And I'm afraid that some people stopped trusting in the future because they don't feel that
they will be ever able to buy these assets, and when you think about the future, when you
think about security for your kids, for your family, for yourself, you want to build it
on assets.
You want to build it on some resources.
We are human beings, but we are animals, we need resources to live.
We can't live from the from the air.
And I think Bitcoin in this term is still undervalued, and I think a lot of people don't
realize that they can start building the security on Bitcoin, and they don't have to save millions
and millions to buy an apartment, because they still see this apartment as this special
asset and the goal what I want to buy.
And I don't understand why people are so obsessed with, for example, real estate, because
they can build much more through Bitcoin and then buy the real estate.
And that's what we are trying to explain in innovative.
We want to make Bitcoin as accessible as possible on few clicks in a smart way, with the best
possible financial alchemy, as I mentioned with the turbo, for example, and show people
the way, hey, you can still, the game is still winnable.
That's the message.
The game is still winnable, and you can build it with Bitcoin.
And stop thinking about buying a real asset and real estate now.
Let's build your wealth the right way.
And don't worry.
You will get to a real estate in the future, don't worry about it.
So I think that's the message, and still a lot of people don't get it.
The half of them are afraid of still Bitcoin, because they understand it, and the second
the half thing that the game is over.
I know some friends that told me, oh, yeah, if it was ten years ago, I would definitely
buy Bitcoin, and it's super hard to explain to them that, hey, don't think about the past,
think about the future.
It's still the game is still winnable.
That's new.

That's actually one thing I think a lot of new people struggle with.
They probably heard about Bitcoin before 2096.
They probably heard about Bitcoin in 2017, 2020, those are the times where it was really
popular.
Also in mainstream, 2017, especially I remember it was almost impossible not to talk about
Bitcoin.
But then I was not in Bitcoin, but I still heard it all the time.
Then you hear prices of, back then it was like $2,000, $10,000, $15,000.
And now they're like, what is it now?
Oh, $80,000, $70,000, $90,000?
That's expensive.
And then there's this limit of $100,000, $100,000 is almost 100%.
So it feels like there's some kind of cap to it.
It cannot get above $100,000, right?
That's the ceiling for Bitcoin.
And so I've seen a lot of people struggle with that.
Do you have any frameworks to think about?
understand how early we still are in this Bitcoin game, even though or despite being up massively
in the last five, ten, fifteen years. That's a great question and nicely said and I do feel
that people have some limitation in their head and they think it's over, some people of course.
And I think the answer is, explain them the factors behind the price. So sometimes I joke
with these people and I say hey, maybe the reason why Bitcoin is so pricey because they call it
always super expensive, maybe the reason is not that Bitcoin is expensive but it's that Fiat
lost so much value. So I usually try to reframe it in their head that it's not about absolute
price but it's about the factors. So I try to explain them it's super easy. Bitcoin consists of
Bitcoin as a digital gold gold because they can imagine gold. So I use this word. The gold is
something you want to rely on during the crisis, right? During the tough times, right? It's something
you can rely on, right? And look on the factors. Look on how the governments are behaving.
Is the debt increasing or is going down? No, it's increasing. Is the speed of this increase
slowing down or increasing? It's again increasing. So I think it's describing the world we live in,
all the factors and then going back. So don't think about price. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant
information. It's all about well, the gold and digital gold be useful in the world we are live in.
I think yes, it will be. And then of course, I can on top of that add some things like
and you don't want to buy gold. You want to buy the digital gold because of this and that and that.
But I mean, this is the only framework how to kind of explain it because people
tends to be trapped with the numbers exactly as you said. I like to ask what else is that about?
Like even if Bitcoin like do would have been already at the major market cap, let's say Bitcoin is already
above gold's market cap, which is then I think it 20 access or from here. It would be a lot
higher, but then I still have to ask myself, is the better alternative? Yes, of course, I can
build my own company, which probably grows quicker, but it's very likely to not succeed.
I can buy individual stocks, but then it's a part time job to keep up with them and research
them and see what they are doing because of course, the individual stocks that might probably
outpace Bitcoin, but a lot of risks to it and a lot of work to it. Can I do it with real estate?
Maybe. If you are smart, can negotiate nice terms with banks and like are a great business
mind, but again, that's more job and not an investment. So it's like all of those factors come
together and you're like, what is there that I can just save in? And for me, the only answer is
Bitcoin. That's the only savings vehicle. I don't like to look at that as an investment almost.
Yes, that's something I definitely agree with. At the same time, I do have understanding for
people who are not there yet. So I think one of the ways is to tell these friends and these people,
hey, it's not overpriced. It's not over yet. So why not to put 1% of your income into Bitcoin?
You have nothing to lose. Just test it out, do it. And that's why basically it is the original
idea behind the invitee mobile app. Like six years ago, I had this idea like it would be nice to
have very easy app on three clicks to buy Bitcoin because when I'm sitting on my friends in a pop
and some of them are like, maybe you're right, maybe I should do something about it.
I must do some action because the next day they will not remember, not because of the beer and
alcohol, but maybe also, but they have different problems. It's day-to-day operations.
And I think this is the problem that people must take the action and we should motivate them.
And the best motivation is you have nothing to lose. You can start putting 50 euros into Bitcoin.
And you have nothing to lose. But it's hard. 50 euros, it's like a round of beer for your friends.
Exactly, but it's like, well, it's like how much you're paying for Netflix. And I bet you pay
also for other services. You don't even remember, you know, exactly. And I think that's the best
we have to do it. And to once they have at least a small portion and this is what I saw in one of my
friends, this guy really small amount of money into Bitcoin. And it was two, three years later,
this person experienced the increase in value. And that was the moment the phone will really
start it. And this guy said, okay, I must put more into Bitcoin. And this guy really started to,
you know, regular, bigger amounts of savings. And that was the moment this guy realized, yes,
it works. But it needs time. I sometimes joke that Bitcoin technically hands down. It's great.
And it proved to be great. But I think what we miss in the whole equation is that people need more
time to adapt any technology. And it simply requires years and years and years. And education and
whatever to really get it. And we are so lucky to be in this stage zero. I still think we are at
the beginning of something. And we are very lucky to be at this stage. How long have you been already
observing and being active in Bitcoin? And because you're also working in Bitcoin now with
like Satoshi Labs and in VD. It's a funny story because I started working when I was 14 years old
because I read a book about investing and about financial freedom. I said, okay, I will start
working. I will start earning money. I will start investing. And so I started as an assistant to
the investment consultant. And then I worked as an investment consultant. Then I worked as the
financial analyst. And I was on the, I would say the other side, if I can put it this way. And I
was obsessed with stocks and, you know, funds and investment funds and how it works. But it was
nice because it opened my mind to really understand what is the financial system. And then I think
it was in 2016. I met Slash, the founder of the treasure. And he explained me what Bitcoin is
basically. And my first emotion was it will not work because it's not regulated. It's strange.
I cannot touch it. And it simply, it sounds strange. It must my first emotion. But since I already
got some experience with the financial system, how it works. And I always asked myself, so how
the value is created? I always asked myself like, how value is created in the financial system?
Why this stock is priced this and the other is not priced like that. So what is the real value?
And it was the moment I realized, hey, it doesn't matter that it's digital. It doesn't matter that
it's decentralized. It doesn't matter. It sounds strange. Let's find out what is the real value.
And so it took a lot of coffee meetings with Slash. But I must thank him because he was the one
who had the patience to explain me. And it took like six months, I think. And then I said, okay,
I can at least test it out. And after that, I realized, and it was really like life changing.
And it might sound like a buzzword. But let me explain because it was real life changing. Because
it was 2017, year after that. And it was the moment I've already spent like 10 years in the
financial segment. And to be honest, I was exhausted. Like, it turned out that most of the people,
these financial managers, you know, with big fancy cars and everything are not good people,
if I can say it. And then I met this guy, Slash, like very modest guy, very intelligent,
working on some new technology. And I said, I don't want to work in the financial segment anymore.
I want to work with these guys because back then it was not about money. It was not about some
fancy something. And but I said, it makes sense for me to be with the creators with people who
create something. Then just with financial people who are just, you know,
moving numbers from left to right. And so I was lucky. And then I got an offer to join the
treasure company, small company back then. And I was convinced that Bitcoin will probably die in
a few years or maybe die, but it will be like very low value. But I will enjoy it with these
creators. And then 2017, Boran.
you know, it was big. I think it was the first moment that could become popular amongst
like regular people. Yeah 2017 was huge, I think, because every news outlet covered it. It was
discussed. I was in school back then. It was discussed weekly, sometimes daily, depending
on what the Bitcoin price was. And I remember that even though I was not in the Bitcoin back then.
I asked it up because there's so many different periods in Bitcoin as those euphoria moments
of 2017. There are those depression moments of 2018, 2022 was also really bad that I remember
that also even worked in Bitcoin already. And now we have 206, which feels different, at least
for me, like I never had a year like 206 where we went of course down quite substantially from
the all-time high. I think we have the all-time high, like somewhere above 120, we went down to I think
58, 57, the lowest point. I don't even know what the price today is, but a lot higher having 80,000.
Something like that. So this year was not really a depression year, it was not really a down year,
even though yes, year to date we are down, I still think. But there was always a lot of movement,
there was always a lot going on. And so with all your experience and like also seeing the financial
side with the companies and all of that, where do you put 206 and what do you think is coming
from this 206 to 207, 208, and in the future? I keep asking myself this question ahead.
I do agree that 2026 is somehow strange and it doesn't fit into my mental model I created
since 2016. Because if you asked me, I would say yes, I believe in cycles. And yes, I
understand, it's not real, I understand, it's probably not going to happen again. And yes,
I understand everything, but yes, I did see cycles in Bitcoin and I did believe in them. And even as
a company, we bet on them 2021 and then again 2025. And this time is different. And there is this
saying that one of the most expensive saying on the Wall Street is this time is different.
Maybe it happens in Bitcoin as well. So 2026, if you ask me and that was the original question,
I have doubt what is going on because my original expectation was that now we will face a tough
year, 2026. I expected 2027, the first half to be like a bottom, like Bitcoin is dead,
it's not moving, it's not going up, it's not going down, it goes sideways. We don't
care about Bitcoin anymore, everyone will be obsessed with AI. And then I expected 2028 to be again
interesting here, halving, and then again, the bull run. But it's not happening. It's not
happening. I think Bitcoin is somehow still a topic. And my theory behind is that probably
there is something going on with the world. And probably the situation is so bad that Bitcoin
is still interesting asset. And some people think cycles are over. Some people think it will not
happen again. I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure because the psychology of people is unfortunately
extreme. People wants to get rich overnight. And people are super obsessed with going up and super
pessimistic when it goes the other way. So I think we will still see cycles on Bitcoin.
And for me, it's 2028. So if you put an iPhone in my neck and tell us, so how it's going to be,
I would say 2026 average year, 2027, I expect more downside than the upside. And then 2028,
I think that is the right moment to really start preparing for a big number is going up.
Maybe also just the CFO being conservative. Definitely, definitely. And I think it's a great point
because experience, when you experience something like 20 2017 and then this crash in 2018,
it was horrible. In 2019, it was one of the toughest year for our companies ever. And then back 2021,
big crisis, price going down. And it was not about Bitcoin going down, but it was all about like
no one is interested in Bitcoin. No money flows into the segment. No demand for Bitcoin related
services, products and everything. So I think I still see these cycles from the past even though
it doesn't make any sense to imagine them into the future. But I always want to be ready for the
worst case scenario. So that's why I'm so pessimistic about the current and the next year. And then
I expect something better. Something like hope for the best prepare for the worst or something like
absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, that's I think that's the strategy. And nobody knows what will happen
but at the same time it's fascinating. And I think there is philosophical portion in all of it.
And what I really loved about the cycles we saw in 2018, in 2002 was this kind of it's a challenge.
It's a challenge for the industry, it's a challenge for the people, it's a challenge for the
investors. And it was interesting to see how people reacts to it. And I think in life, in Bitcoin,
in, you know, business, there are cycles as well. It's not always going up only. You must face
the down. And it was interesting to see some people said, I'm done with this. No Bitcoin anymore.
Some people said, OK, let's do something about it. Let's work even harder. Let's prepare even
greater products because the cycle can happen again. And some people were kind of pessimistic and
left or were demotivated, left the company, changed the segment. And some people are just
attention seekers. So these people and probably some, you know, YouTubers back then, they just
switched the topic because Bitcoin was not interesting anymore. So let's switch to, I don't know,
Tesla something or AI, not back then in 2021 but something different. And I think it was a test
of the character. So maybe that's why I still wish for cycles because from my experience, it was a
great test of the personal characters of the people in the Bitcoin. And those who were patient,
those who did not stop working were rewarded. And I think this is how it should work. I don't
think there's an easy way to wealth, easy way to become rich, easy way to anything. And you must
be the one who is brave. We will jump into it at the worst possible time when everyone is saying,
now don't do that Bitcoin is minus 80%. This is the worst moment. No, that's the best moment
to start. And I think it's the same here. And that's why we in NVT try to tell these two people
that now it's the test of the character. And if you want to create something big, if you want to
create generational wealth, you are not able to build it overnight. But I can tell you that in 10
years, your kids will ask, so what did you do back then? And I want to have a good answer.
I want to have the answer that, yeah, I was, I was there, you know, I was the part of it. I believed
and even and some people say, but what if Bitcoin will not be successful? And I say, I don't care
because I will say I trust myself. I did everything I could. And even though I bet on wrong thing,
I was natural. I was real. I did my best. And I was part of something. I did the decision at
least. I think it was Dante Alighieri who said in the hell, there is a special place for people
who did not take any decision in the moment of crisis. And that's interesting. And I sometimes
think about it this way that now it's time to take a decision. You must take a part. You cannot
be nailed through. So sorry, this is just the philosophical aspect of the cycle. I love that,
really, because I think I don't really ever mention that on the podcast. But when I think about life
decisions are always think a little bit of what would I do if a film crew is with me right
now filming a documentary about my life and everyone will see that like what I did in that
very moment. And opting in for the most interesting story is a fun way to approach life because
then all of a sudden a huge failure is no longer failure. It's just interesting milestone
in your own story. I mean I don't know how I go into superhero stories but like if you
see the classic superhero story he always gets the build up then a massive crash down
where he's on the bottom where it's like the lowest point right before then he rises again.
And I think it's I think the life should be a little bit like your own superhero story where
you should struggle you should go through that and not just checking out of it and if I got
asked it the question myself sometimes of like what do you do if Bitcoin is failing and goes
to zero and like my life story gets a lot more interesting. Definitely and at least we can
tell our grandkids the funny story hey tell us how you lost everything in a Bitcoin again it was
funny but now for real I think it is and it should be the part of it because of course there's
always risk and I think if there wasn't a risk it wouldn't be successful because again I don't
think there is a free launch in this where there is not a free wealth no you must do something for it
about it and it's the journey of the character exactly I really love this mental advice like if
there was a crew filming a documentary I will I will keep this one it's nice and there is one
thing I remember when I started my career and I was this assistant of the investment consultant
it was interesting to you know be on the meetings with the people and this consultant usually
they did the financial plan for the people I think calculated you know the how much they must
invest to you know create some wealth and then they can retire and blah blah blah and it was
interesting to realize how people overestimate what they can achieve in a few years and they
extremely underestimate what they can achieve long-term and there is a saying that this
interest rate is one of the strongest power in the universe and people usually don't realize
what it means 10% every year for 20 years and it can mean like life changing experience so that's
why I think it's good it's good that there are some obstacles on the road same with Bitcoin and
probably it's good that not everyone wants to buy Bitcoin immediately that everyone must find
its own way to it and maybe that's the reason why some people will be I don't want to say
more successful in terms of financial wealth but I mean they will be more experienced because
they will face it face it face it face it every single day and those were in this as if they will
not take any actions well why not okay but they will not accomplish anything this episode is

those examples and there's so many of them like if you drop on the middle of a biggest football
stadium a small drop of water after like 45 minutes you barely see anything there's like a small
puddles and after 50 minutes it's almost four which is like it's in those last moments where the
compound growth really hits and the exponential growth really hits it's always I think we just
can comprehend exponential growth and you investing coming back to what we talked about before
just a little bit everything a week everything on month especially if you have a little bit leverage
on top or like a little bit extra purchasing power like the extra 60 percent with in with the offers
that really compounds quickly and not quickly in in terms of you will be rich in like half a year
but quickly in terms of you will build real generation wealth over five ten fifteen years over
long periods of times also one thing I thought about because you brought up the houses
it's mind blowing all those for people when I bring the chart up what the average house in
Czech Republic or like European Union or like just America or so cost it like ten years ago five
years ago one year ago and now and it just started a few thousand bit coin and then a few hundred
bit coin and then last year it was a three bit coin this year it's a six bit coin because obviously
the Bitcoin price went down and so if you see a development of hundreds and thousands of bitcoins
to three four five bit coin you could imagine a house being priced at like one bit coin under one
bit coin and you're like oh and coming back to the grand bus story you can then say yeah I bought
a bit coin when the house that we lived in was not worth a zero point one bit coin but it was
worth a hundred bit coin ten bit coin whatever the thing is or I don't know it's all all fits
nicely together I hope absolutely absolutely and that's our mission in unity to really
show the path for the people and not only for the newcomers but these products as a turbo are
designed for people who are in Bitcoin already because one of the risk is you will not get into
Bitcoin at all okay these are newcomers who should help them to onboard but I think there is still
a risk for people who are in Bitcoin who are saving into Bitcoin but maybe they're doing something wrong
because I remember when I started my career and this investment consultant I was just an assistant
I was sitting there listening and he always asked these people so how much are you investing
right now for the future and that people answered like okay we are investing 200 euros per month
and he asked them and why not two hundred and one euro why not two hundred fifty why not two hundred
seventy and they was always like what we I don't know what you mean and it was his way how to
explain that we should start from the end because you must first define your goals and these goals
were to find how much you must invest today and I have a feeling that some Bitcoiners are you know
saving into Bitcoin but they should have a plan and they should realize that it'll be much
bigger of a challenge to acquire significant amount of the bitcoins and that's why we want to
give these users more and more powerful tools and it's not only invited to her bow but we have one
special product which should be released at the end of this year and it's an in the Bitcoin card
because we think that it's not only about building the wealth the fastest and most efficient way
but once you are there you want to live more and more on Bitcoin only so you want to also spend
the Bitcoin and so we are trying to be this kind of a no bank based on the Bitcoin which means
we will help you not only to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible in the shortest possible way
because of this turbo special effects but also once you're there you are able to start using your
Bitcoin account the same way as you are using your bank account and we decided that we will of course
use these features banks usually use such as if you pay with our card we will give you some money
back so we said that's a nice way but we will do it in Bitcoin so if you're spending we will
give you back and sets so we are trying to constantly release new features to make
inviting mobile app not only the best way how to accumulate the bitcoins but also how to live off and
we hope that in the future we will find ourselves and our users in a moment when you basically don't
need that bank that you can operate everything only on the Bitcoin the same way as people are used
right now and the reason why is that people won't
easy things. And I know Bitcoiners who are using their bank just because it's
easy or they are not using some Bitcoin features because it's too complicated.
So I think that's, again, one important thing, how to make it as easy as
possible for people because otherwise they won't use it. So that's just a side
note. Yeah, I think we have to, I've actually gave a presentation on that note in
Prague last year. No, this year actually. It feels like a forever ago. And I'm, I
explained to, I related it to the car development and how the car was around
since two decades before it really exploded the the core technology of the car.
And how the car obviously got better, but the moment the ecosystem changed was
when the mainstream came in because at the beginning there were no mechanics.
The roads were not paved. There were no gas station. So if you think about now
having a car and there are no gas stations, there are no mechanics if something
goes wrong and the roads are really shitty and not paved, will you still buy a car?
Most likely not. You will probably still stay with the horses and the carriages and all
of those things. So even if some product or something on asset is superior to
everything else, if it's not made super easy for the end users, super easy to
interface, transact, spend, invest in all of those things, people will not use it.
The end user needs to be as, it needs to be as convenient as possible for him and
as quick as possible and there needs to be no friction in there. I think like
especially now, like the least hard way completely else what we said before of
like you should aim for the hardest way you should aim for the right thing. But if
you want to make a product, make it as easy for the end users because people
usually go that route that is most convenient, go the route of the least
resistance. Absolutely. I think the only hard thing should be the decision in
the head, but since that moment Bitcoin should be easy to use. Secure on few
clicks. But unfortunately some aspects of the Bitcoin are really complicated and
it's true and it's a never ending story or a mission, more like a mission to
deliver it in the most easy way, but without compromising the original thing. I
still think that it's, I really hope Bitcoin will not become just a regular
asset and people will buy it through the ETFs and that's the end of the story. So
when I started with Bitcoin, I was afraid about the price. I was afraid whether
it will go to zero, but now there is another scenario and it is that Bitcoin will
be super successful. It will go to millions, but it will not fulfill its full
potential. And I think that's also a risk we will face in the future and that's
why we think that we shouldn't concentrate the wealth and that's why and I will
be a bit controversial here. Even though Michael Saylor is doing interesting
things and he is popularizing Bitcoin and it's great, I'm afraid that we don't
want to see a too big to fail situation in Bitcoin and I think the
concentration of Bitcoin of the wealth of being like a spoke person of Bitcoin is
not right and that's why in Nvidia we aim for average user and we want average
user to be saving his own sets and be able to withdraw any time into self-custody
having the best possible features and products all in one click in one mobile
application but be in control of it because otherwise I'm afraid it could be
the best scenario for the Bitcoin. So imagine it's a dream but it can be a hell
at the same time. So we will see. I think we need the balance. I think that's
very important. I think it would be a red flag and something bad if there
would be no corporate adoption at all. If corporate say I don't want to touch
Bitcoin at all because that would mean there's some concerns from all the
CFOs and all the financial decision makers and companies that would be red flag but
if then all the Bitcoiners are only with companies that's also something bad
in my opinion in Bitcoin so there needs to be a healthy balance between Bitcoin
held in self-custody within individuals Bitcoin being pushed on financial
institutions and corporations. One aspect that always is usually not as covered is
the corporate adoption helps a little bit with the retail adoption because they
allow being for better rules and treatments of Bitcoin which sometimes helps
also just for better rules around Bitcoin, taxes and stuff like that. I just
talked before with Pablo also from Invitin. We talked about how different regions
have very different focuses. I have a similar experience with for example
Germans because I'm from Austria. They're very like oh how's the tax thing going
and this is that. So yeah I think having adoption on all different levels with a
very healthy balance is extremely important and we should not concentrate too
many coins which is fun because like strategy has a lot already. I remember two
years ago when I was on the space and someone asked me if they could ever achieve
1% of the Bitcoin supply and I was like I don't I don't really see it but
potentially and I was like you have the probed don't and now they have like
4% of it so it's a fascinating story but something to keep an eye on because
we don't want the adoption just on the corporate level even though some on the
corporate level is obviously good. Exactly. I think this heading balance in all
things is that's the point that's the message. How to achieve that? Well I think
it all starts with on the individual level. So on you, on your company, on doing
great stuff, on educating yourself, your family, your friends and trying to do
the best and I hope this incentives Bitcoin created will work in the future.
I think it will and it should but at the same time yeah I am a bit nervous
about the corporations and the governments using some unfair advantages. Are
you more nervous around strategy or more nervous around maybe even like coin
base holding a lot of the coins not just from strategy but like from ETFs and
all of that combined? Both both. So coin base basically because that's a great
question since we cannot really speak about strategy without mentioning
coin base because these pit coins are held within the coin base. So the biggest
honey pot right now is coin base and even though I think they're doing a great
job in terms of like business in terms of the infrastructure they have very
nice user interface. The UX is great as this is just my personal opinion but I
like the app I like do we hide they do the stuff but at the same time it's a
huge risk. And I think for people there's this principle like it's unimaginable
until it happens and it was the same with the FTX it was the same with you know
now the cold card incident like you cannot imagine it until it happens and I
think coin base I really hope they know what they're doing I think they do but
at the same time I would appreciate diversification because I think and correct
me if I'm wrong maybe it's not the actual state but as far as I know the only
fidelity and their ETFs are holding it in their own setup but other ETFs and
most of them are using the coin base as well. My hope is that over time more
companies more corporations and also ETFs and institutions do what
fidelity does and not even just what's fidelity does just use different
providers because for me the biggest risk is actually not who legally owns the
Bitcoin but where the Bitcoin actually sits that's why I asked a question of
like I see coin base like strategy obviously it's the big name say list the
big one of the spokesperson's and it's like it's an easy I don't want to say
target for people but Coinbase is the one actually holding in coins and I don't
know if like I don't think all strategy coins are at Coinbase they have
some some strategy
but they hold a lot of coins, like a lot, a lot of coins, and so that's actually something
I'm looking at and seeing this is a real concern.
Not something, not concerning that, that it will hurt but the coin over the long run.
It's just something medium run because what happens if they, I don't think it's possible
that they all get hacked, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, and we can even extend this idea because it's not only about being hacked
or having some infrastructural problem, but I think it's even the solve fact.
Imagine we are the government and we will think about, okay, we need more money because
we are spending too much, we must pay the debt, we must pay the interest rate, so which
assets to seize true taxes, of course?
And I think the solve fact that it's possible to go knock on the door on a coin base and
say basically this is the place where the bitcoins are, is dangerous because if the diversification
is done correctly, the government will not even think about it because it wouldn't be
technically possible to do some moves, some actions towards the bitcoins and bitcoins.
But since it is possible, I think it opens a dangerous door mentally to even think about
it, so it's another aspect to it.
I think it's a good aspect.
One question that I asked every single one of my new guests that are for the first time
ever on the show is, what can we learn from you besides Bitcoin?
What is something that you're doing, you are teaching or learning completely besides
the topic of Bitcoin and finances?
All right, so I will mention at least one thing and it is that people want to build financial
freedom, for example, but it's not everything.
I think people overestimate that they will be happy once they are rich and it's not true,
so that's why I realized at some moment that I should also focus on my mental health
and the physical health, and it doesn't make any sense to have all the bitcoins of
the world without having an ability to really enjoy it, and so I think this is the aspect
I would give outside of the Bitcoin that people should be very careful, and of course,
now it's a bad word like longevity and this kind of stuff, but don't speak about longevity.
I think it's about the mental health, and I think it's becoming more and more dangerous
in the current world to find happiness, so for example myself, I don't use any social
media, I don't have Instagram, I don't have any TikToks and this kind of stuff, I don't
even know how it works, of course I have a Twitter account, and of course I must have the
LinkedIn account, but to be honest, I do not check them regularly, I don't go there,
I use AI to summarize what is going on in the crypto and Bitcoin space on Twitter because
of course it's part of my job, but I think it will become more and more dangerous and
hard to find real happiness, and I think people should think about it right now and they
should implement it into their strategy because people are able to create a strategy, I want
to accumulate this amount of Bitcoin because it will allow me to buy a real estate, pay
for my kids' education and have a great vacation, but that's not all, it's not all, and people
should think about what they would like to do, how they would like to spend their time
and how to defend their focus and their attention, and I think this is going to be a new currency
of the world, it's attention, so when we speak about Bitcoin as a currency and the great
new money, I think the real money is our attention because our attention means time, so,
and now back to the Bitcoin, I think people should try to buy time and that's why I want
to become financially freedom because I want to buy time and I want to have a control
over my attention, so that's the philosophy behind and I think people shouldn't underestimate
it.
I've said, especially because I mentioned sometimes on the podcast, I measure the money I have,
not in euros or Bitcoin or anything else, I measure it in time, so I have a routine
every month, I sit down and see what I have, what's going on in the financial world, like
in my own financial world, because sometimes it gets chaotic, and then I see at the end
of the day what do I have in time left, if I completely stop every single income that
I have right now, like how many days, weeks, months, years do you have to live with your
current expense rate, with your current liquid network, like what is there as a buff, I mean
USSC4, we do a lot with the company and also with your personal finance, but they always
love to just look at the time number and not at some euro amount or Bitcoin amount because
that doesn't mean anything to me, that doesn't mean anything material, people also ask
that question a lot like how many Bitcoin to retire, like what is rich, because when you
said that like once you get rich you doesn't mean the happiness, my first question was because
people also ask me what does it mean to be rich, like what is the number, is one Bitcoin,
is it 100 Bitcoin, like what is the number that you all of a sudden are rich, I think it's
an individual thing, if you live in New York City and you need like 10K a month to live,
the number must be a lot higher than if you live in the suburb country of Czech Republic
and have maybe two to three thousand a month that you need or maybe even like below that
if you're a single person, so it's wealth is I think a lot better than measured in time.

think about financial freedom, they and that this is my experience because I mentioned
I worked as an assistant and then I worked as the investment consultant. So finally it
was my meetings with the clients talking about things and it was I'm really glad I had
this experience because it was interesting to speak with people about wealth, about money,
about their life goals and maybe to learn something from them and it was interesting
yet like people started with these amounts and everything but it all starts with my own
need. So it depends how much you spend. That's the real figure and I always told them I
had a list of like people from the music industry which you could bankrupt people from the
Hollywood which bankrupted and I was showed them it's not about income. These people had
a very significant income and they still bankrupted. So it's all about how much you want
to spend and you should start everything with your spending and then on top of that you
must build everything around with some reserves here and there and everything and it required
people to really think about their life. So my conclusion always was that to be financially
free it's not about the mathematics, it's not about the amounts. Yes, it's important
but it all starts with the mental understanding of what you want to do with your life and
in this way I think it's kind of a fair I still believe this world is fair in a way of
course in a way that you must do the homework. It all starts with you thinking about things
understanding things define them in your mind.
And that's why I think this, and that goes back to my previous answer about the mental health.
Because I think these days it's very easy to not think during the day, I'm in the work, I must focus, focus, focus.
And once I'm home, I just open the Netflix and I see some, you know, film on series of something.
And I'm just consuming, but I think the real idea starts when there is a silent.
When you have finally time to think about stuff, to speak with your inner something, even about the financial goals.
And it's a harder and harder for people because there are big corporations fighting for our attention.
And so that's why everything starts and ends with the attention in the head, I think.
I love that.
Especially I see from the greater side and I see how nuanced those algorithms work to capture you and how great they are in doing that.
You have to fight against it, you have to really, like it's hard to strike a balance between being completely isolated from the world because there's so much going on on those platforms.
I mean, you mentioned it Twitter and LinkedIn, you almost have to be on there if you're working in the industry.
But now thanks to AI tools, we have really great tools.
We have an Android team as you might be aware of where the previous case is asking a question for the next guest without knowing who the next guest actually is.
And the previous guest asked you the question, what is economics to you?
What is economics to me?
So I'm not a PhD professor, so I will not start with some explanation, but I will probably say it's cooperation because there is this nice saying from Uri Carpich.
It's economics and he's his great mind, I think he wrote a lot of books and he has a definition, which is something like I would try to translate it, but he said basically that money is the records of good actions.
It's a kind of a memory of these good actions. So if money is a memory of good actions, economics for me is the cooperation because without cooperation, there is no extra value and without extra value, there is no output.
There is no economics, there is there is nothing, I think, so I think it's cooperation.
Interesting. I love that. Thank you so much. Before I let you go, I mean, we've discussed you're not too active on social media, but where can people find you, the company, the things that you're doing?

I have a lot of presentations on YouTube. I spoke and presented this turbo on the Bitcoin Prague. So for those who are curious, there is a very nice presentation.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Bitcoin's value is increasingly attractive as fiat currency loses purchasing power due to inflation, making it a strategic asset for wealth preservation.
The financial strategy of "leveraging" someone else's money to buy Bitcoin—like Michael Sailor’s micro-strategy—allows individuals to accumulate more Bitcoin without needing large personal capital.
A 60% leverage model was mathematically determined as the optimal balance between risk and reward, offering a safe, scalable way to grow Bitcoin holdings.
Combining regular dollar-cost averaging (DCA) with smart leverage and automatic market timing enhances long-term Bitcoin accumulation through disciplined, data-driven strategies.
Real-world experiences, such as inflation shocks or geopolitical crises, help people understand Bitcoin’s value as a decentralized, resilient store of wealth.
Bitcoin is being adopted not just for growth, but as a hedge against systemic financial risks, including government control, tax policy, and economic instability.
The market is still in early stages, and despite high prices, the long-term trend shows Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to its potential as a foundational financial asset.
The combination of accessible tools (like Turbo Buy in the Vity app) and educational frameworks helps newcomers and experienced investors alike build wealth through Bitcoin in a low-risk, sustainable way.
Summary:
The episode explores Bitcoin as a powerful, accessible tool for wealth preservation in an era of rising inflation and financial instability. It emphasizes that while fiat money loses value, Bitcoin’s scarcity and decentralized nature make it a resilient asset. The core idea is that individuals can use smart financial strategies—like leveraging 60% extra capital through services such as Vity or Invitee—to buy more Bitcoin without needing large personal funds.
This leveraged approach, combined with dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and automatic market timing, allows users to accumulate Bitcoin efficiently and safely over time. The discussion underscores that Bitcoin’s value is not just in price increases but in its ability to act as a hedge against systemic risks like government intervention or economic collapse. Real-world experiences—such as inflation spikes or geopolitical crises—help individuals grasp why Bitcoin matters.
The episode also highlights that while Bitcoin adoption has grown, many people still lack full conviction due to fear or misinformation. Tools like the Vity app offer user-friendly entry points through features like Turbo Buy, which gives users extra Bitcoin on purchases, making accumulation more accessible. Ultimately, the message is that Bitcoin is not only a speculative asset but a foundational tool for building long-term, independent wealth.
The game is still winnable, and with proper strategy and patience, anyone can participate—even with just 100 euros.
