In this clip, Tony, Michael, and Greer break down how rising costs have far outpaced income growth - leaving many people earning more than ever yet falling further behind. They explain how inflation and fiat money quietly erode purchasing power over time, making traditional paths like saving, investing, or learning new skills feel less reliable than they once were. The conversation also explores the growing uncertainty around work itself. As AI accelerates job displacement and reshapes entire industries, the question becomes harder to ignore: Is the system still designed to work for the average person? Or are people being pushed to run faster just to stand still? Against that backdrop, they point to Bitcoin as a potential alternative — a form of money designed to preserve value rather than dilute it, and a possible path to step outside a system they believe is fundamentally broken. 📞 SCHEDULE A CALL WITH THE BITCOIN WAY:http://www.thebitcoinway.com/podcast?utm_campaign=highlighted-clips&utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_term=highlighted-clips 🔗CONNECT WITH US: X: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_ N: https://www.satlantis.io/thebitcoinway LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway 🗞️: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter ❗DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.

It sounds appealing at first. Stacks sats, borrow against it, and spend depreciating fiat. But the truth is more insidious. Bitcoin-backed loans mean you give up control of your keys and are subservient to the whims of the market. A major correction in Bitcoin’s fiat price, such as we’ve seen recently, can mean you get liquidated. And odds are, you won’t ever get the same stack back. But this is just one of the big risks. Others, such as 6102-style confiscation events, regulatory exposure, data breach risk, loss of cash flow to pay back loans, and even stolen coins are real factors to consider. The TLDR is simple. For most people, Bitcoin-backed loans are not worth the risk, no matter how enticing they seem on the surface. 📞 SCHEDULE A CALL WITH THE BITCOIN WAY:http://www.thebitcoinway.com/podcast?utm_campaign=highlighted-clips&utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_term=highlighted-clips 🔗CONNECT WITH US: X: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway\_ N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway\_ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway 🗞️: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter ❗DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.
