Everyone asks the same question: “How much Bitcoin do I need to retire?”Most people try to answer that by guessing a future Bitcoin price. But that’s the wrong way to think about it. In this video, I walk through a much better framework — one based on Bitcoin’s block subsidy and what it actually represents: 10 minutes of the most secure computing and energy network ever built.By the end of this video, you’ll understand how you can use the halving schedule to set a realistic Bitcoin retirement stacking goal

Everyone asks “How much Bitcoin do I need to retire?” But that’s the wrong question. And the wrong mindset. This video explains why Bitcoin isn’t a retirement plan, it’s a freedom plan, and it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, it’s a don’t-get-poor-slowly scheme.In this episode I break down why chasing a retirement number is backwards thinking, how fiat destroys your ability to plan for the future, and why stacking sats consistently is the smartest move you can make.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

People have been calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme for over 16 years.If that were true, it would already be dead.In this video, I break down what a Ponzi scheme actually is, why Bitcoin clearly does not fit that definition, and why this criticism keeps resurfacing from people who fundamentally misunderstand money, value, and how markets work.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Vanguard swore they’d never touch Bitcoin.Now they’re listing Bitcoin ETFs on their platform.Because after BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF became the most profitable product in the company’s history, Vanguard had no choice but to bend the knee.See you can ignore Bitcoin, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring Bitcoin.This video breaks down how economic gravity forces every institution, government, and investor to eventually adopt Bitcoin, and why holding weaker money always ends the same way: it loses purchasing power while the harder money wins.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Brandon Gentile, host of the Playable Characters Show, joins me for a deep dive into how dishonest money corrupts everything, why Bitcoin restores integrity to human systems, and how all it takes is a small minority (the 3%) to adopt Bitcoin and change the world.We unpack what it means to opt into something that can’t be stolen from you, why Bitcoin is the most moral form of money ever discovered, and how it will eventually account for all value in the world.⸻Chapters00:00 – Intro: The illusion of wealth and the broken fiat system02:55 – You can’t have an honest society built on dishonest money06:18 – How inflation destroys truth, trust, and time preference09:47 – What happens when money loses its link to reality12:10 – The 3% who will change the world15:02 – Opting into something that can’t be stolen from you18:20 – Why every civilization collapses from debased money22:31 – The modern depression we’re living through26:09 – Why would you trade your finite time for infinite paper?29:14 – Bitcoin as the new Bill of Rights for humanity32:40 – Property rights for 8 billion people36:55 – Bitcoin will do an accounting for all value in the world40:12 – Deflation, progress, and the moral case for sound money44:25 – Why governments and central banks can’t stop what’s coming48:03 – All value will be measured in Bitcoin52:37 – The hope on the other side of the transition55:20 – Building an honest world from honest moneyFollow Brandon:  @brandon_gentile  https://x.com/brandon_gentileValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Why does the U.S. suddenly care so much about Venezuela?Most people assume the answer is obvious: oil.And yes, Venezuela sits on the largest proven oil reserves on Earth.But oil alone doesn’t explain what just happened.In this video, we zoom out and look at the bigger picture: money.Specifically, how the global dollar system allows the United States to print money and export inflation, why the rest of the world is forced to absorb the cost, and how that privilege ultimately comes back to hurt everyday Americans.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

A sitting U.S. president just said the quiet part out loud.You can’t make housing affordable without knocking prices down,and knocking prices down would wipe out the life savings of tens of millions of people.That single contradiction explains why housing is broken, why politicians are trapped, and why every “solution” avoids the real problem.This video breaks down: • Why housing prices are structurally protected • How homes became savings accounts and retirement plans • Why debt and longer mortgages don’t fix affordability • How the financial system props up housing prices at all costs • And what all of this has to do with broken fiat money and BitcoinValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Natalie Brunell believes Bitcoin is for everyone. I asked her why and if it's true even for people who are against it.Then we ended up down the rabbit hole of why inflation is the greatest lie ever told, and Bitcoin is the best asset to escape the lies and manipulation of the fiat system.This isn’t a “number go up” interview but we did talk about why Natalie believes Bitcoin is eventually going from $2T to $50T and then to $100T.It’s an honest conversation about broken incentives, asset inflation, wealth concentration, and why Bitcoin to $1M is almost inevitable once you start to understand it.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still falling behind, this conversation is for you.Check out Natalie's book Bitcoin is For Everyone: https://a.co/d/emBV22FFollow Natalie: https://x.com/natbrunell @nataliebrunell  Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

0.1 Bitcoin might not sound like much, but it puts you ahead of 97% of the world. In this video I break down why even a "small" stack of 10 million satoshis is still incredibly rare, why unit bias tricks your brain into underestimating it, and how Bitcoin is quietly becoming the gravitational center of global capital. If you’re struggling to reach 1 whole Bitcoin, this video is for you.
