Get off zero…
This is a common term used in this space to describe people who have yet to buy even 1 satoshi. It’s indicative of those who are curious about bitcoin but haven’t pulled the trigger yet because they’re “still doing more research.” This is common but at this point it’s also a bit ridiculous. One thing I like to tell people is to pick up a hardware wallet, a cheap trezor will accomplish this nicely, and simply buy $100 of bitcoin and send it to your device. GET OFF ZERO!
Now of course setting up a hardware wallet may take someone new to the space a little while to setup (that’s why we teach this process in person to new clients) but it’s vital for a reasons.
You’re finally in the game and off zero. You own some bitcoin!
You will see how it works and how it behaves on chain
You will visually see how storing finite pieces of data is valuable and you can watch how it fluctuates daily
I’ve been in this space for a decade now. Back then we weren’t even a blip on the radar. This space was a lot smaller with far less noise. But now it’s global. Now governments are buying and storing it as a strategic reserve. How expensive is it to move a few billion dollars in gold versus a few billion in bitcoin? How much transport and armed security personnel do you need to move the first one? The world is learning.
Wall street launched bitcoin ETF’s last year and they went on to be the most successful financial product in history for the street. Individual states here in the U.S. are setting up their own reserves instead of only holding gold or bonds or various treasuries. Ironically governments and bureacracy always move slow, but I’ve never seen so many states draft up legislation for bitcoin than I saw the last few months. It’s mind-blowing where we’re at today versus what I saw when I first got here.
The reason I started the Bitcoin Foundry is because I’ve been watching what’s happening for years. Everything I wrote in “Crypto Four Eleven” all came true 5 years later. I’m pretty good at processing information and predicting what’s coming around these parts. In the coming decade there will be less and less of this commodity available to purchase and the price to buy it will be astronomical.
My first mission is to get you off zero, and we’re going to do that through local education, online learning platforms, and security of the protocol. The world will know what perfect money is, and once it clicks, they will store their financial energy in it forever.
Until next time!
