Matt returns from the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas with a sobering reality check: the financial system is rigged against young people, and most don't even realize it. 

In this raw conversation, the co-hosts: Soham Mehta, Matthew Black, and George Pu break down why traditional wealth-building advice no longer works and what young people can actually do about it.

What We Cover:

Bitcoin Conference Reality Check

• Why most attendees were in their 30s-40s (not young people)
• How Bitcoin became "boomer coin" despite being revolutionary technology
• The dangerous psychology of "$100K Bitcoin is too expensive"

The Government Spending Crisis

• Why neither political party will ever reduce the deficit
• How the "monkey experiment" explains why bad policies never change
• Australia's terrifying new unrealized gains tax (coming to Canada next?)

The Housing Trap Generation

• Why real estate as investment destroyed affordability for young people
• How government red tape adds $400K to every new home
• Why birth rates are collapsing (hint: it's economics, not culture)

International Perspective: Long-Term vs. Short-Term Thinking

• George's insights from Qatar and Abu Dhabi economic forums
• How monarchies think in decades while democracies think in election cycles
• Why some countries are building for 2075 while others can't plan past 2028

Practical Survival Strategies

• How to protect wealth when your own government works against you
• Why capital gains tax punishes you for avoiding currency debastion
• The brutal math: they tax you more when they screw up more

The Sovereignty Playbook

• Why keeping only 10% in your home currency makes sense
• How to minimize downside risk while maximizing upside potential
• Real examples of what young people are actually doing to escape the system

Key Insights:

💡 "The more they inflate the currency, the more they tax you for escaping it" - The perverse incentive destroying wealth
💡 "Bitcoin is divisible to 100 million sats - you can buy $1 worth" - Why the "too expensive" narrative is false
💡 "Governments never get smaller, only bigger" - Why voting alone won't fix systemic problems
💡 "Stack sats and focus on your craft" - The only advice that actually works

Perfect For:

• Young people frustrated with traditional financial advice
• Anyone questioning why homeownership feels impossible
• Crypto investors wondering about generational adoption patterns
• People considering international diversification strategies
• Those who want to understand why the system feels rigged (because it is)

This episode isn't about complaining - it's about understanding the game so you can actually win it. The future is fluid, and that means you still have a say in building it.
