Mark Moss argues Bitcoin is a wealth engine that lets you fund major life goals like buying a home without ever selling it. He proposes using Bitcoin treasuries to borrow against your holdings instead of liquidating, contrasting this with traditional advice like Dave Ramsey's mutual fund approach.
What I think is that I talked about this with you before, like the game of money. And if we think about how to build wealth, what wealth tools do we have available to us? We understand that Bitcoin is the cheat code for us to do that. And Bitcoin allows us to use all these tools that the 1% typically had. So Bitcoin allows us, but we have to build a system around, a system for building wealth around Bitcoin. And so Bitcoin Treasuries can be one piece of that system that we can build.
See, I think this is, for me, like when I got into Bitcoin, I'd never done any like investing before. I was pretty young still. Like Bitcoin was the first thing I found, like changed my life.
The only thing I've ever been focused on since that day.
And I don't think I think about Bitcoin necessarily in the right way when it comes to like building wealth and like setting myself up for the future, because like the thing that I just never want to do is sell Bitcoin.
Yeah.
So like I really want to get us a family home, like we've just been renting and it's like, do I want to sell the Bitcoin to do it? But you think I need to like adjust the framework that I'm thinking in?
100%. And I never want you to sell Bitcoin. I don't want your great grandkids to sell your Bitcoin. Yeah. But so we want to build a wealth engine around Bitcoin that allows you to grow your wealth faster, utilize all that capital, and even feed your great-great-great-grandkids without ever selling the Bitcoin. So we have to build an engine around that. Yeah. Let's just look, take traditional finance. So you have maybe the champion of that would be like a Dave Ramsey.
Mm-hmm.
And Dave Ramsey would say, save a percent of your paycheck and put into mutual funds and never use debt.
He's the bald guy that see, like people call him up and say, I'm in. Yeah. Okay. Right.
And so, you know, he makes hundreds of millions a year. He's not just some old, you know, country folk guy. Yeah. Like he's really smart. But his advice to everyone is don't use debt. Work hard, save, put it into mutual funds, let it sit there for 40 years and compound. And then what happens is traditional finance says at some point in 40 years from now, you can sell 4% of your assets per year. And if you time it just right, hopefully you'll die before you run outta money.
