In today’s episode of Bitcoin with ZT, I sit down with US-based podcaster and Bitcoin educator Brandon Gentile to explore Bitcoin through the lens of self-sovereignty, wealth, family and the future of money.

Brandon and I go deep into why Bitcoin is more than an investment or speculation tool - it’s a pathway for families and individuals to reclaim time, energy, and independence in a system that’s rapidly breaking down.

We talk about the vital importance of self-custody, why becoming your own bank is essential in a world of rising financial instability, and how Bitcoin helps people build real economic resilience outside the control of governments, central banks, and failing fiat currencies.

We also unpack the psychological aspects of wealth, the future trajectory of Bitcoin adoption, and why education is the key to helping families not just survive - but thrive - in the next decade.

If you’ve ever wondered how Bitcoin can strengthen the modern family, protect your purchasing power, or reshape the financial landscape, this episode is packed with powerful insights.

Key Themes We Cover:

• Bitcoin as a tool for reclaiming time and economic energy
• Why self custody = true financial independence
• Bitcoin and family empowerment
• Understanding the psychological side of wealth
• Why Bitcoin’s fixed supply & decentralisation matter
• Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and instability
• The circular economy & the road to adoption
• How education creates generational financial strength

  Core Ideas From the Episode:

  🟠 “Bitcoin is about reclaiming time and economic energy.” 🟠 “Self custody allows individuals to be their own bank.” 🟠 “Bitcoin’s properties make it a unique form of money.”

  If you’re looking to understand Bitcoin beyond the price chart - and want to learn how to integrate it into your life and future - this conversation will leave you thinking differently.

In this powerful new episode, Zane sits down with Aussie couple Matt and Bobbie to unpack their inspiring journey into Bitcoin — a journey that began in the thick of the COVID era and opened their eyes to the deeper problems within our monetary system.

What starts as a simple curiosity quickly becomes a life-changing shift in how they view money, freedom and the future of Australia.

Matt and Bobbie share how learning about inflation, currency debasement and the broken financial system led them to see Bitcoin not as a risky asset, but as the life-raft escape for everyday Australians trying to protect their wealth and secure their future.

They also dive into some of the biggest misconceptions about Bitcoin, the real importance of self-custody and how community and education helped them build confidence along the way.

One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation: how superannuation can be used strategically to gain long-term Bitcoin exposure — and why most Australians have never been taught how powerful this can be.

If you’re concerned about the rising cost of living, declining housing affordability, or where Australia is heading, this episode is a must-watch.

Matt and Bobbie's honesty, clarity and conviction make this one of the most relatable Bitcoin stories you’ll hear.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Sean Clarke, creator and host of the rapidly growing G’Day Bitcoin YouTube channel.

Sean has become one of Australia’s loudest and clearest voices warning about the rise of Digital IDs, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and the creeping expansion of social credit-style systems.

Sean believes we are entering a pivotal period — a window of roughly three years — where individuals must decide whether they will protect their financial sovereignty or fall deeper into a system of digital control.

Drawing on his own personal experiences of hardship, Sean shares why understanding money, taking responsibility, and giving yourself permission to learn are now essential survival skills.

This episode dives into:

• The rapid push toward Digital IDs and programmable government money
• Why self-custody is not optional — it is the foundation of financial freedom
• How personal struggle shaped Sean’s understanding of money
• Why Bitcoin is the strongest, most sovereign form of money ever invented
• The mindset shift required to truly take control of your finances
• Why education — not speculation — is the real path to sovereignty
• The urgency for everyday Australians (and the world) to act now
• How anyone can start building financial independence today Sean’s message is simple but powerful: No one is coming to save you.

You must choose sovereignty for yourself.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure of rising financial uncertainty, government overreach, or the sense that “something isn’t right,” this is an episode you don’t want to skip.
