You don't have any exposure to Bitcoin, what the hell are you doing? The
Speaker:fact that you're not actually says a lot about you rather than it does about Bitcoin. Don't
Speaker:get locked in on the minute by minute candles or price
Speaker:action of what is happening in the crypto space. It will drive you insane. Crypto
Speaker:won't save you if you're financially reckless. That's
Speaker:not how it works. 99% of cryptos are actually scams. Most
Speaker:people come in at the highs. You're not late to
Speaker:crypto, just early to the next cycle. The only reason
Speaker:why you would now keep your money in industry superannuation fund
Speaker:is because you're not educated. I'm Matthew Fraser and this is
Speaker:Crypto Collective. After making millions with Amazon and e-commerce,
Speaker:I realized that if I was starting again today, crypto would
Speaker:be my first choice. I'm here to help you take your first
Speaker:steps and build real wealth. Ready to set yourself up
Speaker:for life? Let's go. Hey, guys. Welcome to Crypto Collective.
Speaker:My name is Matthew Fraser. In today's episode, I'm
Speaker:going to be giving you brutal advice from myself, a
Speaker:multi-millionaire in the crypto space. Let's jump into
Speaker:it. All right, guys. Let's start by saying this.
Speaker:Crypto won't save you if you're financially reckless.
Speaker:Crypto is not one of those things where you can just blindly put
Speaker:money into any type of crypto and it just instantly becomes
Speaker:an overnight success like you just make millions of dollars that's
Speaker:not how it works and i see a lot of people
Speaker:particularly recently who have jumped on the meme bandwagon
Speaker:right because you do Look, I understand why you would do it because
Speaker:you see a lot of things on social media that shows guys who put 79 cents
Speaker:into a meme and they sold it at like $800,000. Guys, I'm
Speaker:telling you, it's bullshit. Okay, that does not happen.
Speaker:And even if you find someone that it does happen to, it'd be one
Speaker:in like a kabillion people that just somehow miraculously put
Speaker:a little bit of money in it and end up selling at exactly the right moment. My
Speaker:advice to you is do not get suckered in to these
Speaker:types of crypto, I would call them scams to
Speaker:be honest, because 99% of cryptos are actually scams. I
Speaker:mean, I even had a friend of mine the other day ring me. And this is after I've
Speaker:been telling him about getting his, a part of his superannuation
Speaker:exposed to Bitcoin, right? Getting out of the industry super
Speaker:fund, which let's be honest, is shit, okay? You're
Speaker:only going to get probably, if history shows, between 6% to
Speaker:8%, okay? He's going to take some of his money out of the industry super
Speaker:fund, put it into Bitcoin. Now, he knows the returns. Last
Speaker:year alone, we saw 120% returning in crypto in 2024, right?
Speaker:On average, over the past sort of five plus years, it's been 50 to
Speaker:60% compounding, right? It's been very good. But even despite all
Speaker:those numbers and where it's likely to go over
Speaker:the next 20 years, my friend still rang me and said, Matt,
Speaker:I've just seen Mr. Peanut Coin. It could go
Speaker:really, really high. Should I put some money into it?" And I just had
Speaker:to slap him around the head and say, what are you thinking? I mean,
Speaker:I've already told you the numbers. Look, let me put it this way to you, I said, if
Speaker:you want to piss that money up the wall and you're prepared to
Speaker:just let it go and basically flush it down the toilet, then
Speaker:go ahead and do it. And maybe sometimes I should just
Speaker:let my friends do that, so they get a taste of what it's like just
Speaker:to lose their money, so they then come back and say, yep, you're right, all
Speaker:these shitcoins, as they're called, or cryptos, are
Speaker:just not worth it. I'm just going to stick to what's tried and
Speaker:proven over 16 years now, which is Bitcoin. And so this
Speaker:happens to the best of us. Yeah, I've got
Speaker:other stories of guys who put money into
Speaker:these cryptos and then lost $50,000 Can you imagine actually
Speaker:just having $50,000 in your bank account and just thinking It's
Speaker:gone. It's just like a meme out of South Park, right? You
Speaker:put your money in and it's gone. And that's exactly what happens to people.
Speaker:And it happens a lot. This is probably, if I
Speaker:just digress a second, this is probably partly the reason
Speaker:why it's so difficult to get your money out of a bank now
Speaker:into crypto exchanges, because the banks know that
Speaker:most people are fucking stupid. That's just the reality of
Speaker:it. They know that you're going to piss it up the wall.
Speaker:And here's the next problem, is that when you do piss it up the wall, you
Speaker:don't take responsibility for your own actions, you then go back
Speaker:to the bank. You call up the bank, oh, I was stupid,
Speaker:I got scammed, I got rug pulled, I didn't know what I was doing. That's
Speaker:not the bank's fucking problem. It's your problem. And you need to
Speaker:take responsibility for your own actions. Because guess what? Because you're
Speaker:actually doing that, you're fucking it all up for everybody else. Because
Speaker:now people like myself, even though I don't have too many problems, but other
Speaker:people who are actually not so reckless, who just want to move some money
Speaker:into a crypto exchange, the bank's tightening down and all this stuff, and
Speaker:it takes a long time to get through all the rubbish to get the
Speaker:money in. So it's all the idiots out there who are actually causing
Speaker:the problem. All I can say is, Don't be greedy. And
Speaker:I know it's hard because you see these things on social media, like I
Speaker:said, and you think you're going to get rich overnight too. But trust me,
Speaker:you are not going to get rich overnight. If it
Speaker:was possible, then everybody would be doing it. You'd see
Speaker:Lamborghinis down the street and Ferraris down the street. The Lamborghini dealership would
Speaker:have a sold out sticker on it because everyone would just be, had made
Speaker:it. Please guys. I don't want you to lose money. That is
Speaker:not my goal. My goal is to give you the brutal, honest truth
Speaker:in this episode so that you don't lose all your money. Because I tell
Speaker:you what, you lose all your money, next thing you know, you probably lose
Speaker:your partner, your wife, your marriage break up, your kids are gone. I
Speaker:mean, it could be absolute devastation. And I do not want
Speaker:that to happen for you. So what you're going to say to me then is, OK, Matt,
Speaker:if we can't get rich quick, then how do we get rich? Well, I'm
Speaker:telling you, it's not easy. That's the
Speaker:fact. If it was easy getting rich in crypto, just like
Speaker:it was just easy getting rich full stop, then everyone
Speaker:would just be rich, right? But you have to have the right mindset.
Speaker:You can't be, like I said in the outset, financially reckless.
Speaker:You got to take the right precautions. You got to do the right education
Speaker:to understand what you're investing in. and that's just that's not
Speaker:even crypto like you've got to understand what you're investing in
Speaker:not just crypto but property into shares and
Speaker:stocks and the whole gamut of assets that are out there you could
Speaker:even stuff it up investing in gold gold which
Speaker:is for the most part a pretty safe type of investment it's
Speaker:not really going anywhere it's been around for thousands of years but people
Speaker:still stuff it up because they buy at the wrong time the market did They sell,
Speaker:they lose money, you know, people make mistakes. So regardless
Speaker:of the asset, especially in crypto, you
Speaker:must get educated. So even if that means you've
Speaker:got to go and get educated by paying someone, this is not
Speaker:a talking me up type of thing. I'm not I'm not asking you to pay me. I'm
Speaker:just saying just find anyone who's financially more savvy than
Speaker:you in whatever industry you're looking into, particularly in
Speaker:the crypto space. And I can tell you from personal experience, when I got into crypto,
Speaker:I put my hand up, I was crap, right? I didn't had no
Speaker:idea what I was doing, right? I didn't understand market cycles. I
Speaker:didn't even know what altcoins meant. I didn't even understand what altcoins meant.
Speaker:which of course just rolls off the tongue now, but for a lot of new people, of course, you don't
Speaker:know, right? And you've got to get in on the know before you can start
Speaker:parting with your hard-earned cash. Getting the money into your
Speaker:pocket is already difficult. So don't make
Speaker:it even more difficult by pissing that money up the wall. Invest
Speaker:in yourself. So this is what I'm saying, go and find some courses, even
Speaker:if it's an online course, just get educated, start small, and
Speaker:at least go a little bit away to understanding what
Speaker:you're getting into so you don't fuck it up. Yeah. The next bit
Speaker:of brutal advice is for people who are
Speaker:in the market already, but they're constantly tracking the
Speaker:market, like relentlessly, like every single, like by
Speaker:the five minute, by the minute candles, right? It's just not the
Speaker:right attitude to have when you're coming into this space, right? Because
Speaker:it can start to mess with your psyche. What? It's up, it's down, it's up,
Speaker:it's down, right? And the crypto market is so volatile anyway,
Speaker:it's going to be up and down. What you need to do is zoom out
Speaker:right and that there's a saying in this game which is, if in doubt, zoom
Speaker:out right which means zoom out at the landscape of crypto
Speaker:over a longer time frame, because although it might be
Speaker:going up and down. you know, violently, let's say in a day, when
Speaker:you zoom out to perhaps a year, two years, five
Speaker:years, it's a blip, you don't even notice it. And so it
Speaker:gives you a sense of calm, like, oh, hang on a second, it
Speaker:might have dropped 5%, 10% today. But
Speaker:overall, the market is actually trending in the upwards direction,
Speaker:for example. Now, I can tell you that is the case for Bitcoin. Over
Speaker:the course of 16 odd years, Bitcoin has had ups
Speaker:and downs to do with the bear markets and also
Speaker:the bull markets, or the bear cycles and the bull cycles. That's just a
Speaker:normal course of what happens in the crypto game, right? So don't get locked in
Speaker:on the minute-by-minute candles or price action of
Speaker:what is happening in the crypto space because it will drive you
Speaker:insane. Now, that leads me into crypto
Speaker:is a long game. It's not a slot machine that
Speaker:you just put money in and expect it to 10x. Actually,
Speaker:wouldn't that be good? I put $10 into the slot machine and it spout out
Speaker:$100. This is a great machine, right? Every time. That's how some people think
Speaker:the crypto space is. I just put money in and I pull more money
Speaker:out and I made a profit. It goes back to the beginning, right? This is not a get
Speaker:rich quick scheme. Now, Can you make money in
Speaker:a quicker time frame than, let's say, Bitcoin,
Speaker:for example, which might be over a longer time frame? Yeah, you can. But
Speaker:you've got to be so Johnny on the spot and know what you are
Speaker:doing in order to buy at a particular low point to
Speaker:sell at a future high point, right? And even if that's over three months.
Speaker:The market seems to always move against wherever you
Speaker:think it's going. And even just this year, right, in the
Speaker:year 2025, but altcoins were
Speaker:all at an all-time high, for the most part, were at all-time highs
Speaker:at the beginning of this year. And then basically from the beginning of this year, they've
Speaker:gone down a lot, like some 40, 50, 60 plus
Speaker:percent. I personally hold altcoins, some
Speaker:of them are down 80%. Now, Am I losing
Speaker:sleep over it? No, because when I got into the market, I
Speaker:positioned, I allocated my altcoin portfolio to
Speaker:a point where it's only a small section of
Speaker:my overall portfolio. And I remember getting in when
Speaker:I was allocating, I remember thinking at the time, am I prepared for
Speaker:this altcoin allocation, which is in the six, multiple six
Speaker:figures, am I prepared for this to go to zero? And the answer
Speaker:I had in my head was, yes, I am prepared for this to go
Speaker:to zero. It's a gamble. I can't predict the future. I
Speaker:can guesstimate the future based on history, but
Speaker:things happen. Now, a lot of people at the moment have started selling out of their altcoins.
Speaker:Even a lot of high profile people on social media who are running courses,
Speaker:they've sold out their altcoins. I personally haven't sold out of most
Speaker:of my altcoins. I did sell out of some altcoins actually towards
Speaker:the beginning of this year, which probably in hindsight was actually quite good.
Speaker:But I simply rotated those into other altcoins. You know,
Speaker:I went out of smaller position altcoins, lower cap altcoins into
Speaker:Solana. I just really wanted to put more money into Solana,
Speaker:which has a higher market cap and I think has more fundamental tokenomics
Speaker:behind it for the future. So without going into the
Speaker:weeds, I think my Solana is actually my second largest holding
Speaker:after Bitcoin, which you guys, if you've been following me for a while, you know that because I talk about
Speaker:it all the time. This is the state of play right now as a lot of people have
Speaker:actually lost a lot of money. That's what I'm getting to, is they've lost a lot of
Speaker:money because most people come in at the highs, okay?
Speaker:When the euphoria is there and it's all over the television and
Speaker:everyone's high-fiving each other and, yes, look at it! It's
Speaker:at an all-time high right now. And then that's when other people buy in because they're
Speaker:feeling the same sense of euphoria of, wow, it's
Speaker:going to keep going up. And the reality is that the market just doesn't
Speaker:go up and up and up and up and up forever, right? There's corrections, down
Speaker:periods, bear cycles. And look, there's some people saying that
Speaker:it could even go lower today than what it is now. Now, by the time
Speaker:you see this video, maybe it's come back up again. And right now, as of today, it's
Speaker:sitting at about $82,000. So it could be, by
Speaker:the time you see this video, $62,000. Or it
Speaker:could be back up to $112,000. Yeah, it could
Speaker:be an all-time high. So who really knows? And a lot of the macro
Speaker:conditions are coming in. Macro conditions meaning the worldwide events that
Speaker:are really outside of the micro conditions of what's happening in
Speaker:your backyard. Tariffs. the world wars that are
Speaker:happening at the moment, those largely are
Speaker:playing, having an effect on the markets. So guys, it's a
Speaker:long-term game is what I'm getting at. Long-term meaning for me,
Speaker:it's years and years, not hours, days,
Speaker:weeks, right? For me, it's not even months. It's
Speaker:actually years and years and years. And I think if
Speaker:you sit down and do the numbers just like I do within
Speaker:inside my Crypto Collective community, and if you want to join the
Speaker:Crypto Collective community to have access to me, answer all your questions,
Speaker:find the link in the description somewhere, it's free to join. And I'd love to answer
Speaker:your questions as I do for many others. But sometimes you just need things to
Speaker:bounce ideas off and so I'm there to help. So what I talk
Speaker:about though is the long-term game, right, of 10, 20 years.
Speaker:I'm even thinking now in my children's future
Speaker:years, which really comes down to 30, and
Speaker:40 years. My children right now are 5 and 10. So they're going to be in
Speaker:their 30s and 40s by the time I'm
Speaker:sort of thinking, OK? Which, if that all plays out,
Speaker:Bitcoin is likely to be somewhere between, if
Speaker:we talk 20 years, somewhere between $13 million
Speaker:a coin, possibly up to a bull case scenario, as
Speaker:is according to Michael Saylor, upwards of $75 million a coin.
Speaker:Absolutely ridiculous. And that's why it's so important to have
Speaker:that long timeframe. And I always say, particularly to
Speaker:people who are getting in now, get your foot in the game, have
Speaker:some exposure, even don't forget about the research bit, right?
Speaker:Just, I know I said before, do some research, but I'm talking about just put like a
Speaker:hundred dollars in. $100 is actually forming part of
Speaker:your research, okay? And the reason why is because once you put some
Speaker:money in the system, you then start to take notice. As you could
Speaker:read all the books, and I wanted to quickly plug this one, The
Speaker:Big Print by Lawrence Lippard, absolutely amazing. That
Speaker:one's only just come out. And this one here, The Bitcoin Standard. Now, The Bitcoin Standard
Speaker:is the one that every Bitcoiner must read. Every
Speaker:person who's new to the crypto space and Bitcoin must
Speaker:read. So free plug for those books. Essential reading
Speaker:will give you an excellent idea and insight into
Speaker:Bitcoin and the ins and outs of it. Okay, I'll leave it at that, but
Speaker:essential reading. Hey, just quickly, if you're ready to dive deeper into crypto

Speaker:link in the description and join us today. Now back to the episode. When
Speaker:it comes down to long term investing, dollar cost averaging
Speaker:into Bitcoin is the way to go. So guys, the other one I
Speaker:hear a lot is you need to have a lot of diversification,
Speaker:let's call it, within the altcoins, right? Rather than just having
Speaker:one solid conviction on one or two or three or
Speaker:four possibly altcoins and Bitcoin. And I understand there's some
Speaker:differences because of different strategies. Some people might
Speaker:be wanting to invest in altcoins because they believe they're going to have a
Speaker:much higher return through, let's say, this next bull cycle.
Speaker:Yeah, they may plan to sell out those altcoins and see
Speaker:more of a return. But having said that, the
Speaker:altcoins also come with much higher risk. You
Speaker:have to think about your strategy. And I, at this point,
Speaker:would consolidate more into, if you have to
Speaker:buy altcoins, I would consolidate into maybe no more than, I'm going
Speaker:to say, five altcoins. And you must have Bitcoin.
Speaker:I don't really care what you say. In my opinion, you must have
Speaker:exposure to Bitcoin. And I would even argue that the majority of
Speaker:your exposure should be in Bitcoin. Because I can tell you, you
Speaker:know, when friends come to see me and they talk about XYZ altcoins,
Speaker:I say, listen, governments around the world are not buying
Speaker:up Mr. Peanut coin, okay? You might argue
Speaker:to me that it's going to have an amazing return over the next six months or 12 months.
Speaker:Fundamentally, it's rubbish. Okay, there is no
Speaker:actual use case for it. I understand there's a use case within
Speaker:the meme coin space in crypto. However,
Speaker:to the average punter, there really is no utility case for meme coins except
Speaker:for it's just fun to you know, see it go up and down, right? And
Speaker:get out before you get rug pulled. That's the fun bit. You must have the
Speaker:Bitcoin exposure. And the reason why is you run the risk right now. And this
Speaker:is to everybody. Actually, this is to everybody who has no
Speaker:Bitcoin, right? So people who are brand new to the market. What
Speaker:you will say to me is, Matthew, we must, we
Speaker:can only buy Bitcoin with money we can afford to lose. And
Speaker:I'm going to pose it to you this way, the risk that you run right now is
Speaker:actually having no exposure to Bitcoin. And
Speaker:I would say only put money in that you can't afford
Speaker:to lose, okay? I'm going to say that again because your head right now
Speaker:is spinning. Only put money into Bitcoin that
Speaker:you cannot afford to lose. Because the only thing
Speaker:that we can guarantee right now If we look at history, is that the
Speaker:fiat currency is being debased. You've got inflation. What
Speaker:that means is the purchasing power of your fiat
Speaker:dollars, which is your money, your currency, your Australian dollars, the
Speaker:purchasing power is going backwards and you don't have to... think
Speaker:of that as a conspiracy or anything. You just have to look at
Speaker:when you go to pick up the groceries and you go through the shops and you look at
Speaker:the price of everything has increased. So the amount of money that you
Speaker:had last year and the year before that is now buying less
Speaker:this year. That is because of currency debasement. And
Speaker:if you want to extrapolate that into to really hit home, you
Speaker:only have to go back to, say, like the 80s or the 90s to
Speaker:see how much was something worth back then compared to what
Speaker:what is is being charged for today that is currency debasement
Speaker:caused by money printing by central
Speaker:banks that is the reason so on the flip
Speaker:side the one thing that you could also pretty much guarantee right
Speaker:now is that bitcoin is not going in
Speaker:the downward trajectory now i can hear that
Speaker:i can hear the people now commenting oh matt that's rubbish because we
Speaker:just saw Bitcoin go from an all-time high earlier this year,
Speaker:and now it's crashed all the way down to $80,000. Yeah, I
Speaker:would argue that's a market correction. But if you look at the overall
Speaker:long-term value of Bitcoin over the last
Speaker:15-16 years, it's gone in the upwards direction. If you just do
Speaker:the research, and I'm not even going to say myself, even someone
Speaker:who I look up to, who I respect, Michael Saylor, as
Speaker:I just mentioned before, he believes that the next 20 years are
Speaker:going to be the gold rush for Bitcoin. This is when
Speaker:Bitcoin is going to be explosive. So the risk
Speaker:that you run is having no exposure to
Speaker:the asset that is likely to be the best performing
Speaker:asset over the next 20 years. It's already been the
Speaker:best performing asset over the basically the past 10 to 15 years.
Speaker:I know it's scary because you're trying to get your head around what
Speaker:is Bitcoin? What does it even do? I think it's just air money and
Speaker:it's just on the internet, right? I even just remember. I had a
Speaker:guy just put up a comment the other day in one of my posts, and he said, if you turn
Speaker:off the computer, then you could just lose your Bitcoin. I was like,
Speaker:oh, okay. Okay, don't make such
Speaker:ill-informed comments, if I can put it that way. That's okay. And
Speaker:I don't want to, I'm not sort of being down on him, but it's
Speaker:certainly a comment that it's really in this day and age that people even still
Speaker:think that, but I guess they do. And that's because they're not getting educated.
Speaker:I want to say this too. You've heard me say this many times before. I used to
Speaker:think Bitcoin was a scam. And so when you start throwing the words at
Speaker:me, Matt, Bitcoin's a scam and it's nothing. I get it, right? I
Speaker:used to be there too. I used to think Bitcoin was a scam and
Speaker:this was going back, you know, eight years ago. But what I did is I
Speaker:woke up one day, I had my orange pill moment. I can't remember
Speaker:the exact reason why. It was probably because I didn't want to lose
Speaker:my wealth, the wealth that I've created through e-commerce. I
Speaker:want to retain my wealth. and build
Speaker:on my wealth into the future, right? And don't begrudge me for
Speaker:that, because you would want to do the same thing. If you became a
Speaker:multi-millionaire, you would also want to protect your wealth too,
Speaker:right? And so I'm just sharing this to you so that you can learn
Speaker:from what I've done. Okay, so you need to go
Speaker:and get the Bitcoin Standard. I know I keep saying it, but honestly, it's the best book
Speaker:to read to understand Bitcoin. And And
Speaker:really, I think once you've read it, you'll then start thinking
Speaker:completely differently about Bitcoin. But let
Speaker:me also say this. It's not even you need to go read the
Speaker:book. You just have to turn on the TV. Just turn on the TV and see
Speaker:actually what's happening in the world of the Bitcoin crypto
Speaker:space. In America right now, we have Donald
Speaker:Trump, who's the crypto, or
Speaker:I guess he was saying the Bitcoin president, right? So what he's doing is
Speaker:he's, in case you're not up to speed with this, He's implementing a
Speaker:strategic Bitcoin reserve, right? What does that mean? They're
Speaker:going to be buying up, grabbing Bitcoin from
Speaker:their existing stashes they've got around the country, but accumulating Bitcoin
Speaker:for the future. And as Donald Trump says, they're never selling. And
Speaker:so the more that they accumulate, the better it
Speaker:is for everybody else. Now, why is it good, though, if Donald
Speaker:Trump accumulates Bitcoin and just accumulates it in
Speaker:the US? Well, the reason why is because Bitcoin has a finite
Speaker:supply. There's a limited number of Bitcoin that
Speaker:will be in the market. And I saw another post the other day who just, he
Speaker:just didn't understand it. Yeah, but if it's 21 million is the market
Speaker:cap of Bitcoin, that's all that will ever be produced. What happens if
Speaker:they just go and make more? What happens? Good question. What
Speaker:happens? They can't go and make more. You cannot make more
Speaker:than 21 Bitcoin. Why? Because it's just the way Bitcoin
Speaker:is designed. It's how the system works,
Speaker:the code of Bitcoin, as you could say. That's just how
Speaker:it works. There is only 21 million that will ever be produced. We're
Speaker:actually right now coming up to 20 million Bitcoin that
Speaker:have now been produced in the system. And what's interesting is
Speaker:they even say that up to about 5 million Bitcoin, I think it may even
Speaker:be more, but up to 5 million Bitcoin are lost. So there's actually
Speaker:now only 15 million in circulation. Now, why is that important?
Speaker:And how does that now relate to Donald Trump accumulating Bitcoin? It
Speaker:means that because there's a finite supply, there's less
Speaker:to go around for everybody, which means that as there's more demand for
Speaker:Bitcoin, the price of the value of Bitcoin in
Speaker:monetary terms increases. That's it's a simple supply and
Speaker:demand, the pressures on Bitcoin, people want to buy it, they want
Speaker:to store their wealth, it's considered a store of
Speaker:value. So they retain all their wealth in Bitcoin because
Speaker:it cannot be debased. You can't just go and print more of it.
Speaker:Going back to, I guess, you know, what is the risk? I mentioned before,
Speaker:the risk is that you hold on to cash. And what we know for certain
Speaker:is that we'll be debased and you will have less of purchasing
Speaker:power into the future. Because someone said to me the other day, Matt, $1 will
Speaker:always be worth $1. So, you know, why would I go and buy Bitcoin?
Speaker:I'm like, this $1? that you had back in 1980, yeah, essentially
Speaker:it's still $1 today, but what can you buy with it today? What
Speaker:you could buy for $1 back in 1980 was a lot more than
Speaker:what you can buy for $1 today. So, I'm being brutal
Speaker:about it because I just want to give you the facts. You're not late
Speaker:to crypto, just early to the next cycle. This comes
Speaker:up all the time. I don't want to buy any Bitcoin. It's
Speaker:too late. It's already, it's just hit a hundred, you
Speaker:know, $108,000 all-time high. It's just too
Speaker:much. I've even got guys, you know, they bought it when it was like $20,000 and then it
Speaker:got to $30,000 and they sold that thing. They're like, we're
Speaker:taking our 10 grand we're out and now it's got up to a hundred plus thousand dollars
Speaker:or even today at 80 odd thousand dollars and they just can't
Speaker:get over the fact that they've got to pay more and i think that's why now
Speaker:that i think about it i think that's why so many people who
Speaker:don't hold bitcoin hate Bitcoin they just
Speaker:they fucking it pisses them off the fact that you hold
Speaker:Bitcoin and You probably got it at a price much
Speaker:cheaper than what they're going to have to eventually pay because eventually
Speaker:Everybody's gonna have to move on to the Bitcoin standard That's what's gonna happen
Speaker:and they're gonna have to pay a lot more than what they're
Speaker:gonna have to pay today now Of course people
Speaker:are pissed off. I understand it. You know, I would have loved to have bought
Speaker:Bitcoin when it was $0.30, $1, $100, $1,000. Hey, I would have loved
Speaker:to have bought more at $10,000. It would have been a dream. But I didn't buy
Speaker:it at $10,000, right? And
Speaker:the old saying goes right now, one of Michael Saylor's 21 rules
Speaker:of Bitcoin is that you get Bitcoin at the price you
Speaker:deserve. So guys, what I want to say to you is you're not
Speaker:too late to crypto. You're not as in, you're not too late to Bitcoin especially.
Speaker:Now, what I would say is just start your dollar cost
Speaker:averaging, right? Just start buying into the market at whatever you
Speaker:can afford to do. All the money that you don't want to lose, you put
Speaker:it into Bitcoin. But whatever you can spare out of your day-to-day cash flow,
Speaker:whether that's $100 a day, $100 a week, $100 a
Speaker:month, you must start allocating. It
Speaker:is simple. All you have to do is get a little bit of education to understand
Speaker:how to do it, and you'll find that it's really, really simple. Because I'm
Speaker:telling you, you are going to be missing out if
Speaker:you do not start buying today. Okay, what's
Speaker:going to happen? I'm predicting the future right now because the signs are all
Speaker:there. And if you want to go and research this on Google, you can. The
Speaker:banks in America are already allowed to and will start
Speaker:custodying Bitcoin. I just spoke to Ken who's already based out
Speaker:of the US, right? He just told me that the banks now are going to start having
Speaker:Bitcoin wallets in the bank. So when you log on to your net
Speaker:banking, they'll have savings account, X amount of dollars,
Speaker:Bitcoin account X amount of Bitcoin that is happening.
Speaker:And once that does this is why it's so important once the banks
Speaker:start the custody in Bitcoin Everyone will
Speaker:start flooding in everyone will start flooding in and I understand
Speaker:why because now it seems what's legit now I
Speaker:can now go to the Commonwealth Bank and they're gonna hold my Bitcoin for
Speaker:me in fact I can just go to the Commonwealth Bank and I can actually buy
Speaker:Bitcoin through their exchange and How easy is that? And
Speaker:once that happens, the floodgates will open, everyone will
Speaker:start rushing in and buying up as much Bitcoin as they possibly can
Speaker:afford because now it seems safe and secure in the bank. And
Speaker:it's not to say that it's not safe and secure now, it's just that once the banks
Speaker:start doing it, it becomes easy. And people don't want
Speaker:to do things that's outside their comfort zone or
Speaker:might be considered not easy to do, right? Now, once
Speaker:they do that, guess what's going to happen to the Bitcoin price? It's going to go through
Speaker:the roof. Yeah, because everyone's going to start rushing in. And remember, there's
Speaker:only 21 million Bitcoin that will ever be produced.
Speaker:And likely only about 16 million that will be in circulation at
Speaker:any one time. And a lot of people right now are holding on
Speaker:to their Bitcoin, right? You're going to have to wrestle
Speaker:people, you know, put guns to people's head in order for them to release their
Speaker:Bitcoin. Because I won't be releasing my Bitcoin, and neither will a
Speaker:lot of other people. I don't want to scare you, but I just want to give you the facts so
Speaker:that you know that time is running out and
Speaker:just simply the sooner you get in, the better. Okay, guys, this
Speaker:one is going to be super, excuse the pun, but super controversial,
Speaker:which is about superannuation. And I can tell you, I've
Speaker:moved all of my super out of the industry super
Speaker:fund, my money out of the industry super fund, and moved it
Speaker:all into Bitcoin. And you're going to have kittens right now thinking, oh my
Speaker:god, Matt, now I said this before, only put money into Bitcoin that
Speaker:you cannot afford to lose, right? Now,
Speaker:I just want to give you some examples of the money.
Speaker:If I'd left my money in the industry super fund last year in
Speaker:2024, I would have got about 8 or 9% return. Instead,
Speaker:though, my Bitcoin, right, so my value went up
Speaker:120%. Right? It is a joke. And the only reason why you
Speaker:would now keep your money in the industry superannuation fund
Speaker:is because you're not educated. That's honestly what I believe is
Speaker:the only reason. Now, you could argue, oh Matt, the
Speaker:superannuation system in Australia has been fantastic and people put money into
Speaker:it. I agree. The superannuation system in Australia for the
Speaker:most part has been very good to put money aside
Speaker:and stack cash for the future while it's of course
Speaker:compounding. But the problem is that up until just recently, there
Speaker:was no Bitcoin. So you could only compare it to whatever
Speaker:was the old world, the triad, the traditional finance world,
Speaker:which was returns of, let's say, 6% to 10%. And
Speaker:even if you got upwards of 13%, that would have been incredible. That
Speaker:would have been like a superstar year. I just had a really
Speaker:good conversation with a guy yesterday on my social because this
Speaker:guy's coming from the tradfire world he's in the
Speaker:superannuation funds heavily he's got clients so i presume
Speaker:he's probably some sort of financial advisor or something he said matt
Speaker:all the people i talked to you know compounding within super has
Speaker:been absolutely fantastic for them i'm like yeah i'm sure it has but
Speaker:that it doesn't even meet the hurdle rate. Now, what is the hurdle rate right now? You
Speaker:kind of have to be getting above 14% per annum in
Speaker:order just to break even, considering currency debasement and inflation. That's
Speaker:just the facts. I know people hate to hear that, because we like to think that
Speaker:we've got money sitting in super, and it's just setting us up for
Speaker:the future. And then when we get to retirement age, we're all just going to be able to go on overseas holidays.
Speaker:It'll be fantastic. The reality is, guys, that is now a dream
Speaker:for most. So you're going to have to start taking action and start
Speaker:thinking about, how can I beat the hurdle rate right now? There's a
Speaker:few different ways to do it, but one of the easiest ways, in my opinion,
Speaker:is to simply allocate your superannuation fund into
Speaker:Bitcoin. As I said before, over the last five plus years, you've seen
Speaker:a 50 to 60% compounding rate on Bitcoin, right? What's
Speaker:it likely to do into the future? It's probably going to do at least
Speaker:30 to 50% compounding annually over the next 20 years.
Speaker:You simply cannot beat it. And as everyone else around the world
Speaker:starts to adopt it, you do not want to be left behind. So guys, I'm
Speaker:gonna leave it at that. It was the brutal and honest, devastating
Speaker:truth from me, who's a multimillionaire, and I hope you can
Speaker:take all that to the bank, so to speak. Go get some Bitcoin. All
Speaker:right, take care. I'm Matthew Fraser, and this is Crypto Collective. After
Speaker:making millions with Amazon and e-commerce, I realized that
Speaker:if I was starting again today, crypto would be my first
Speaker:choice. I'm here to help you take your first steps and
