Miners will capitulate sooner or later once coins mined goes decreases as everybody including Saylor telling to everybody to hold bitcoin. Bitcoin is not created to be held. It needs to be spent. Otherwise it wont generate any fees. To sustain miners, it should generate enough fee to keep mining alive.
Ethereum generates fee organically thru usage of dapps or stablecoins. It will sustain stakers. Bitcoin generate virtually no fee. Miners are screwed in the long run bcoz Saylor is holding his btc intead of using it😂
She asked about people living paycheck to paycheck and he said “dca with money you wont need for 4 years”!!!! Literally the opposite of paycheck to paycheck
Did he even hear the question??
I’ll repeat the question, Michael…”FOR THE PERSON LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK”
🤣🤣🤣 Natalie, I get he didn’t give you the answer you were looking for but why’d you still give this clip that title lmao
What if you are a blue collar worker with a family to feed?
I'll answer this question – because as much as I like Saylor, he didn't answer. if you are living paycheck to paycheck, you are never going to build wealth. thats that! You either need to find a side hustle (and perhaps invest 90% of the income from that in Bitcoin) or, you need to learn to live on less than you make in your regular job, save the excess and then invest that in bitcoin. The answer to this question is one centred around 'changing your life'. Get a side hustle, move to another location where you can work and earn, sell something you dont need to live, learn to live on less, etc. I suffer from 'thriver bias' … so spouting off about how i became financially independent, might not be worth anyones time. We are different, and live in varying circumstances and are at different stages of life – but one thing rings true for all of us – we need to live in a way whereby we have disposable income – and we need to learn how to invest a good portion of that – and, we need to do it 'over time'. A ten year plan is good – a 20 or 30-year plan is better. The younger we are the more aggressive we can be with risky investments … the nearer to financial retirement, the less risky. if we have plenty extra at age 50 or 6o+ – then we might do well be dropping 5-10% of our savings into BTC. Spending time educating yourselves is time well spent. Sub to channels like this … for the most part, learning is free. Thanks Natalie. PS: DON'T GET SCAMMED.
I know Saylor is supposed to be one of the big names in Bitcoin. But there is something about him that is unlikable to me. It just might be arrogance.
I’m ultra familiar with living paycheck to paycheck; same as my parents and grandparents. I spent my 20s living paycheck to paycheck despite making everywhere from 40K to 110K annually depending on the economy that year/my level of nihilistic depression. At age 30 I had a wife 6 months pregnant , a dead end job, yet I and discovered Saylor and Breedlove. Today I don’t have a fortune but we have hope, peace, vision, and focus following Saylor, Breedlove, Brunell, etc. into the 21st century frontier.
Great interview . Saylor rocks and Natlie is great as always. However, I really question her support of Swan. Swan won't release your btc for your own wallet forever. Hell imagine putting all your 401
k in a IRA and never being able to know if they have the bitcoin. Suspect company. Loan sharks as Saylor describes.
Risks as wealth in a bank account does nothing for either person
Did this guest not listen to the question!???
When your living paycheck to paycheck there is nothing extra to build wealth. You are a $400 emergency away from missing your rent or mortgage. What planet is Mr. Saylor on?
hes getting good at dodging questions and stating the obvious. biggest BTC bull on earth. I would be to if i had the market cornered. xno > btc no fees instant settlement. bitcoin is for the geezers. old and slow
My german advice for regular american folks is: bring extremely down your expenses: housing, car, groceries, household, media, cooking/baking, leisure time, holidays etc…..
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER USE CREDIT CARDS!!!
Then you have more money to buy Bitcoin on a regular basis (DCA). Store it safely on hardware wallet.
I have immense repect for Michael Saylor. But he kind of dodged the question here, didn't he? A family living from paycheck to paycheck has no money they don't need for the next four years… I guess there is no good answer to this one.
Big question Natalie. Michael takes us on a reality check around the world of investing helping me know where I stand in the grand scheme… what are unregulated digital monopolies?
Lol Saylor out of touch with reality of families living paycheck to paycheck.
Absolutely horrendous & totally irrelevant for the likes of me as I've already been killed by the product of an American corporations monopoly (namely Gilead pharmaceuticals)
Saylor is a BOZO.
Simple answer: create something that brings in extra income and save that money. Don’t spend that money. Keep doing the extra thing
Too long didn't watch: Sell your car, buy Bitcoin
As someone passionate about investing, I frequently ponder how top-level investors manage to achieve millionaire status through their investments. Currently, I have over $745K in equity from a home sale, and I'm uncertain about the next steps. Should I consider purchasing stocks at this moment, or would it be better to wait for another opportunity?
Terrible advice. I love Michael Saylor, but suggesting families living paycheck to paycheck should put any excess cash into Bitcoin makes no sense.
Cancel your streaming subscriptions, put that money into Robinhood, put that time into educating yourself on finance. It's good to start with $20 because then it doesn't matter if you make all the mistakes that everyone makes. As you focus on your finances and education, you'll find new creative ways to increase income and decrease expenses, and your wealth will go from $20 to $200 to $2,000 to $20k to $200k. Then come back and watch this video.
I have often enjoyed hearing Michael Saylor, and will continue to do so for many years, I'm sure. His insights and experience are extremely useful. However… Natalie asked the question of how ordinary people — she cited people who had trouble paying for a $400 expense — how can people like that invest for an uncertain future? I think the answer is still bitcoin and dollar cost averaging is the response. Had Michael said something like "just a dollar a week will start to make a difference," I think that would've been a more helpful bit of advice. Those ordinary people probably have a little idea how to buy a piece of luxury real estate, for example.
Sorry but this comes off as absolutely tone def. She mentions people living paycheck to paycheck and his answer is, if you have money you don’t need for 4 yrs throw it into bitcoin, and wait. Paycheck to paycheck means you usually need all or about 90% of your income.
Wrong dude to ask about week to week paycheck life
Great advice, thanks Natalie for bringing on Mr. Saylor. Please keep up the good work.
Everyone who claims they live paycheck to paycheck has a tv with Netflix and Disney+. And each kid has their own cellphone. They also have a truck for the husband and an suv for the wife.
The people who ACTUALLY live paycheck to paycheck don’t have time to complain about it online. They also don’t have time to watch these videos, so the message won’t get to them anyway.
As for the people I described earlier, learn to live BELOW your means. Well below. Become a minimalist. Save first, scrounge for money for expenses after. If you can’t scrounge enough up, sell the truck and get a beater car. No payments, insurance cost reduced 50%, cheaper on fuel. Always something you could do.
I love that comment… ‘What is your advice to people that live paycheck to paycheck’? What is his answer? ‘If you have money that you don’t need for the next four years, then you should DCA’. I love Saylor, but that is a clueless comment. He clearly lives in a bubble.
I’ve owned a small amount of BTC for two yrs and I’m still down 20% after DCA ing I can longer buy anymore due to family obligations . This is the one thing the wealthy don’t get .
buy ADA
Natalie is cute ❤
I can't believe how most people can't see the entire monetary system doesn't serve them. It never has.
Who is the sathosinakamoto sathosinakamoto begerin in the road roam
Sathosinakamoto without food they will deadstream
You toking brilliant I am superin what solution
Ok, so the only thing left to invest in is double cheeseburger.
I think Michael is trying to change the way people think about Bitcoin, and understand its true potential and importance. Once someone realizes how important it is they will be more open to things like; brew your coffee at home, don't go to starbucks; if you eat out everyday, cut it down to 3 days a week; cancel streaming service subscriptions, etc. Now is the time for sacrificing things that won't help in the future for something that will make you (and the world) better in the future.
would love to bust one on nat brunell
Sir my inconvenience asking really Bitcoin wery bigger Huma been testing world I am super me be 20yers because Bitcoin sathosinakamoto
Jheeze… He's brilliant… But COMPLETELY disengaged with and unable to fathom what it's like to NOT be a wealthy business owner.
