I'm not saying that you shouldn't do Amazon or you shouldn't do e-commerce. It's

bloody tough, I'll tell you that. But if you can make it work and

create the cash flow and the profits and then put that into

Bitcoin predominantly, then you're going to set yourself up and your family

for the future. Why would you even invest in Bitcoin? Particularly when

you're coming from a mindset of this could be a scam. It's expected. that

Bitcoin will actually grow in market cap, which means the

value and money in Bitcoin all the way to overtake

gold, crypto and Bitcoin. It is the best investment

that anyone can make right now. I must admit,

years ago, I was a complete doubter.

I thought Bitcoin was a complete scam. Bitcoin

is not going away. It's the generational wealth creation of

the century. And basically, it's ultimately freedom

money. And that's what it's all about. It's about freedom. I'm

Matthew Fraser, and this is Crypto Collective. After making

millions with Amazon and e-commerce, I realized that

if I was starting again today, crypto would be my

first choice. I'm here to help you take your first steps

and build real wealth. Ready to set yourself up for life? Let's

go. I've completely upended everything.

Now, what am I talking about? Well, I've been in

the Amazon and e-com space for years and

years now and as you know, I've become a multi-millionaire from

investing and being in business in that space.

And look, it's done me very, very well. But now, I'm putting everything

on the line. I'm risking everything. This could

be either the biggest disaster of my life or

It could be the greatest win for generational wealth

in my family that has ever been seen before. And that's what I want

to share with you today and into the future. In

this episode, I'm going to share with you though, the reasons specifically

why I'm transitioning from sharing information about Amazon and

e-commerce and now talking about crypto and Bitcoin and

how I think it is the best investment that

anyone can make right now and literally over

at least the next 20 years. So now is the time to

learn. So as a backstory, as you know, I've been in this

Amazon space for years. I've made a ton of money and I've put millions

of dollars of that investment or that earnings and profit

into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. And

I must admit, years ago, I was

a complete doubter. I thought Bitcoin was

a complete scam, probably much like many people

today. And probably most people today, actually. Most people probably think still that

Bitcoin is one big scam. And I remember when

I was doing it tough and I was driving my Uber, And

a guy jumped in the back seat and he said to me, oh yeah, I'm going to be buying

some Bitcoin. And me as the completely uneducated Uber

driver at the time said, don't be an idiot. I would

never invest in Bitcoin. That's totally crazy. And

of course, I hope he didn't take advice from the Uber driver. And

that's probably a lesson that you can take away right now. Never take advice

from the Uber driver. So fast forward, I made all

this money in e-commerce and Amazon. And then something just happened, and

this was going back to about 2021, or maybe

2022. And I just started hearing more about Bitcoin again. It sort of

hadn't faded away. And so I went down this rabbit hole,

which ultimately led me into, at the time, doing a one-on-one

training course with an expert. And it was $20,000 that I

was investing at the time for one year's training, so I could learn everything

there was to know about crypto and Bitcoin. And the reason

why I did that, I spent that, and I was willing to spend that type of money, was

because if you rewind, I'd spent over $20,000 with

reliable education at the time, learning how to sell on Amazon.

At the time, I'd already made millions of dollars, so I knew that by investing in

myself and the education, that it

would pay off. So here I am, I've shelled out $20,000 to

this crypto expert, and that was one year journey, which then led

me down this rabbit hole of Bitcoin. Everyone goes on

their own journey when you're talking about Bitcoin. Most people start it,

it's a scam, then you might invest a little bit of money, $100, $1,000, and then

you just start doing more and more research and realize that Bitcoin

is not going away, it's the generational wealth creation of

the century, and basically, it's ultimately freedom

money. And that's what it's all about. It's about freedom. So

I do talk in my podcast about creating freedom in

your life through Amazon. And ultimately, I'm not saying

that you shouldn't do Amazon or you shouldn't do e-commerce. It's bloody tough. I'll

tell you that. But if you can make it work and create the

cash flow and the profits and then put that into Bitcoin

predominantly, then you're going to set yourself up and your family for the

future. So guys, as you know, I have a community where I teach and share

my thoughts and trainings in e-commerce and Amazon. And

what I found though is over the past sort of year, ultimately,

particularly with my one-on-one clients, although we'd be talking a

lot about Amazon e-commerce, Bitcoin and crypto would just creep

in there. And then people wanted to know more about it. And then I started talking more

about it because they wanted to know about it. And of course I've got multi seven figures invested.

So it seemed like, you know, I've got skin in the game. So I was pretty invested

into this industry. Then I started talking more about it on social media and

then I've got now my friends and family they're all coming to me asking me

about Bitcoin and what is it and of course what's happening right now is

that Bitcoin is seeing all time highs in the

space only just recently the all-time high, not to date

this video, but it went to US$93,000. And

for those Australians watching this, that is about US$143,000

per Bitcoin. And so because of that, it's attracting

a lot of attention in this space. It's even making the nightly

news, you know, Bitcoin is now reaching all-time highs. So in

turn, that is now creating this sense of FOMO. And

FOMO is fear of missing out. And people are contacting me.

So what I want to do, in this space and with my community

is I want to now transition my thoughts, my

education, my two cents about someone who's

a eight-figure multi-millionaire from Amazon and

is now putting it all on the line in Bitcoin and

crypto. Will it work? I don't know, but I think it will. right? But

for those who are doubters out there, those who maybe want to watch this

for some entertainment value, maybe you're hoping deep down that

Matthew Fraser fails in a great big heap and wouldn't it

be so good to watch? Well, if that's you, you should continue watching

this because I'm going to be sharing my journey, the good

and the bad, and you can either learn from it or it'll

be complete entertainment. Maybe I'll just end up in a

great big heap, crying in the corner, wishing I'd

never invested in that damn Bitcoin! Obviously the first question

that comes to me now is why would you even invest in Bitcoin?

Particularly when you're coming from a mindset of this could be a scam. And I think Bitcoin has

now proven itself to not be a scam. It's been around

now for about 15 plus years. Sure it's been there ups and downs within

the industry. Why it's so good to be looking at

Bitcoin now rather than any other time in

history is because of the regulation that's now come

in place through America and other parts of the world, and I'll touch on that in a second,

plus the institutional adoption of

Bitcoin. There's more people now as far as corporations, governments,

nation states, and financial institutions They're

all now buying Bitcoin like there's no tomorrow. A

friend of mine just said to me yesterday, Matt, I want to buy some altcoins. And I said, listen,

yes, you can buy altcoins. But just keep in mind, if you're new to this space, nation

states and governments, et cetera, that I just said before, they're not

racing out to buy Mr. Peanut coin. They're racing.

And there literally is a race on. The governments are FOMOing into

Bitcoin only. They're not buying anything else. So let

that be your first lesson as to where is the money flowing to

and it's Bitcoin. Even the last five years has seen an

average growth rate in Bitcoin of 55%. Now

that has decimated any other type of asset. If

you just compare this, most people in Australia think of a

property. right? Property. Property has not done, on

average, 55% per year over the past five years. Although

it has gone up, particularly after the COVID lockdowns, it

just hasn't done that type. And Bitcoin has been the number one asset

for at least something like eight out of the past 11 years. So

that's the backstory. Moving forward, the expectation on

Bitcoin from now is it will at least do, and this is according to the

Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylan. You should look up Michael Saylan. You

can go to hope.com to see more of him, also see him

on YouTube. He predicts at least a 29% average growth rate for the

next 20 years. Okay,

so do your numbers on that. I actually think that

we'll probably see a higher growth rate than that. I think it'll

be an average of between 40 to 50% moving forward.

And the reason why I say that is because of there's so much more

demand on Bitcoin than there is supply. And

you'll hear terms now being floated around about supply shock. And

that's because there's more people, nation states, and

governments, and financial institutions, et cetera, buying

up Bitcoin faster than it can be produced. And

if you didn't know, there's only a finite supply. There's

only 21 million Bitcoin that will ever

be produced. And when you look at the 21 million, so

far to date, there's been almost 19.5 roughly

million Bitcoin that have been mined out of the system that are

essentially in circulation. But now I say circulation, there's

actually less than that in circulation to buy.

And that's because so many people, here's another term for you,

HODL. That means they're holding their Bitcoin for

dear life. They're HODLing Bitcoin, which means they're not putting

it on the exchange to sell, They're keeping it on

in their own self-custody, because they know that

Bitcoin is heading up and to the right. And some

other predictions that you might want to hear about, it does vary from

expert to expert. But here's one the other day, Plan B, who

talks about the stock-to-flow model, his stock-to-flow model is

predicting an average price of US$500,000

over the next four years, with a deviation of between US$250,000

to US$1 million. So that means that

the price could fluctuate between US$250,000 to

US$1 million, but the average over the next four years will be

US$500,000. A big question that comes up to me is, is

now a good time to buy? Because we're in this bull cycle,

and a bull cycle means it's heading up and to the right. There's a lot of money

flowing into the space. Overall, even just recently, the market cap

of Bitcoin has overtaken silver and

Saudi Aramco oil. It now puts it in, I think, as

of today, the seventh top asset in

the world, with gold being the top asset.

us today. Now back to the episode. It's expected that Bitcoin

will actually grow in market cap, which means the value and

money in Bitcoin all the way to overtake gold, which

will absolutely be massive for bitcoin so

the question is now the time to buy considering we've had such

a big increase this year in bitcoin the answer

is in my opinion yes but keep in mind that

if you're new to the space you don't want to put money in

that you need to use for rent next week okay that is not

the way to invest in bitcoin bitcoin is

a years and decades and perhaps a

multi-decades investment strategy to retain

and grow your wealth. That is fundamentally what it is. You

certainly don't want to be shaken out. What does shaken out mean? Shaken out means

you're buying today, and let's say the price is $100,000. And maybe

because Bitcoin can be volatile, meaning it can go

up and down in dramatic increases on

a daily basis. But over time, it goes up and

to the right. So if you're buying today at $100,000 and tomorrow it drops down

to $95,000, don't get shaken out by then selling it

at $95,000 because then you'll realize your $5,000 loss.

You want to sit tight, keep accumulating Bitcoin into

the future. So when you're thinking about investing in Bitcoin, you want

to think long term. And the absolute minimum time you

should think about is four years. There's basically no one that

has held Bitcoin for more than four years, that's in the red. They're

pretty much all in the green. But don't be

that person though, because this is what's going to happen, and this is what happens with most people

in this market, is as Bitcoin goes up, you hear

about it on the news, And then you're thinking about it.

And then eventually, by the time you buy in, it could be at

the very top of the cycle. So the cycle of Bitcoin traditionally

has been every four years, up and down every four years. So

you might buy at the top of the cycle, because that's when the euphoria is

in the marketplace. That's when everyone's cheering and swinging and spending

money and thinking everything's fantastic. But you buy in at that point, too. And

then it might be a big correction, and it might come back down again. And

so you'll then be thinking, oh my God, what have I done? I've

just spent however much money and now my investment has gone

down. Now, if that is you, again, you have to think longer

term. You just forget about it, don't sell it, sit and hold. And

that's why I say, don't invest money that perhaps you

might need within perhaps that four year period, whether it's buying

a property or what have you. because you don't want to realize any losses

right you don't want to see a loss you want to leave it in the ecosystem

or in your cold wallet storage and that's another technical thing but you might want to leave

it on the exchange hold the bitcoin for the

future so that you realize the profits into the

future so in this podcast now moving forward as i always am

i'm going to continue to be transparent for you because i want to share

the insights that i've got now as a multi seven figure

investor in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin and also wealth creation.

What I'm doing, what I'm thinking about, because I want to spark some

thoughts with you, because whatever I share with you, it

might spark something in your mind to think, hey, is this is this going to

be for me or is it not? One thing that I also do

as I've transferred all of my superannuation into

Bitcoin. Most people who always say that too are absolutely flawed.

They cannot believe it. Keep in mind, my financial position is different

to a lot of other people, whereas I've got multiple investments, properties

like commercial properties, businesses, and of course,

Bitcoin and crypto. And of course, I had this superannuation bucket

there. I did some numbers on it. Let's just put it that way. I did some numbers, and

the average return on superannuation over the past

10 or 20 years was 7.4%. OK. Now,

I'm going to go into this probably a lot deeper in a future podcast

video to show you exactly what I'm doing, but just to give you some numbers

and get your mind thinking even now about what is the

opportunity. Because what I found was that just talking to some friends

and family, they wanted to invest in Bitcoin because they wanted to have some exposure

to Bitcoin. Because what some people now know is that having no exposure

to Bitcoin is the risk. Yeah. And Michael Saylor

famously says, only invest money that you can't afford

to lose. Now that's going to make your brain fry because the

normal saying is only invest money that you can

lose. Okay. But with Bitcoin, it's only invest money

that you can't afford to lose. So get your head around that. That's a new paradigm

shift for most people. So let's go back to superannuation. Most

people are happy to think, well, I'm going to take money

out of my soup because I can't touch it anyway until I'm 65. So

hey, I'm just going to roll the dice on

that one. So here's just some numbers for you because this

is when it gets really interesting. Let's pretend that

you are, I think my audience now must be around 40. So

let's say you've got 25 years until you retire.

And let's say right now you've got, I'm going to

make it low, $100,000 that you decide that you want to put into Bitcoin.

Now, $100,000 is going to be over 25 years,

because that's when you can now retire. And let's just use Michael

Saylor's number as a bare case 29%. And

let's say that you don't put a single cent into Bitcoin superannuation

for the future. You don't put any more. The number that you

will have projected is going to be

130 million dollars. Is that freaking insane or

what? Now that's because of the power

of compound interest. It is deadly.

Let's say that Michael Saylor was wrong, and

he over-projected, and it was only 15%. Let's

see what the number works out to be. $4.1 million.

Still probably better than if I put 7.4% in,

which was the average of superannuation, your $100,000 would turn

to $633,000, which is rubbish. Let's

flip it the other way. Let's say Michael Saylor really under-projected

the numbers. And the actual average return growth rate was

40%. So let me say the numbers again. You've put

$100,000 into Bitcoin. It's at 40% annual growth

rate average. And it's over 25 years. So when

you get to 65, you will have, and this is going

to blow you away, 1.8 billion

dollars. So now that you've picked yourself up off the floor and

before you now start rushing out to buy Bitcoin, keep

in mind that that was held for 25 years. You didn't touch

it for 25 years and you just let it compound and compound and

compound. Now let's just, I want to throw one more in there. Let's go

back to, we'll just keep it the 40% for a moment. Let's say that you're

younger, you're actually 30 years old and your retirement is not for another

35 years. So I put 35 years in, that's going to be 95 billion

dollars it's completely insane so and that was just we're starting

a hundred thousand dollars so that is the power of compound interest now if you

want to do these numbers yourself you can simply go into the

app store and just download the compound interest calculator and

just put in some numbers and you will be freaking blown away.

So if you want to look at it from a risk perspective, would

you risk $100,000 out of your superannuation to

potentially even get to something like $10, $20, $30, $40, $50 million,

rather than what's expected to be within your superannuation right now,

like what I say, like $600,000 or something, which is like pittance.

So in wrapping up that little interlude there on superannuation, do

your own research. You have to go through some steps to do that. You

can't just rush out and buy Bitcoin. There's a process to it. And

what I actually I'm going to do is I'm going to leave a step-by-step guide

of how to do that in my community, which you'll be able to

find the link to that community around the in the description somewhere

of this episode or perhaps if you're watching this on instagram it'll be in my bio

and it'll be free to get no strings attached just come in and get the

information and this is from someone who's actually

done it myself and it's making money

So guys, moving forward on this channel, I'm going to be discussing things

related to crypto and Bitcoin. Now, why do I say crypto and

Bitcoin? Because really, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, and then

crypto is, I guess, everything else. But I guess, for

argument's sake, most people talk about crypto, they incorporate Bitcoin. You'll

also hear some other terms like altcoins. Altcoins is

everything except for Bitcoin. So I'm going to be talking about

crypto holistically on this channel because I

simply want to do a few things. One, educate anyone

who's brand new to this space. I think you'll also hear this other

term which is called orange peeled. I want to orange peel you.

I want to educate you. I want to give you my insight and

my knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto so that

hopefully You can also make generational wealth

creation through this asset class which is taking over

the world. It would be sacrilegious of me if

I didn't at least share with you what's happening in this space

because It is so transformative right

now in the world. The other thing I want to do, I want to share how

to perhaps, if something like buying Bitcoin in

your superannuation fund is something that you want to do, I want to give you the step-by-step guide

on how to do that. It's actually not as hard as you think, although there are a

number of steps to it. I also want to share with you the do's and

don'ts of when you first get into the crypto space. because

you will hear a ton of horror stories. And

I'm going to share the horror stories with you because there are people out there that

do lose money. So don't think that by investing in crypto that

it's just absolutely risk-free. It actually does have a lot of risk, but

I'm going to tell you the reasons why people lose money in crypto. The

other thing I'm going to do is give you particularly those who

are absolutely brand new to this space, the things that

helped me in the very, very beginning. Who do I listen to?

Where do I buy Bitcoin from? Which platforms should I trust?

Who are the people I should trust? And that will simply give

you the groundwork foundation of moving forward

in this space. So guys, in wrapping up, I want to say thank

you to all those who have been with me, listening to my education

and insights into the Amazon and e-commerce space.

And I hope that over the past year or so, it's delivered some

value in your life and you've taken away some tips and tricks. And if

you want to stay with me and listen to more moving forward, I

say thank you very much and keep tuning in. If you want to depart at this point

because you're not interested in crypto and Bitcoin, absolutely fine. I

wish you all the very best. So guys, that's it for this episode.

I hope you've got even just a couple little gold nuggets just in that alone. And

I look forward to seeing you on the future episodes and where you

too, hopefully, can start creating generational wealth

with Bitcoin. Thanks for tuning in to Crypto Collective. If you've enjoyed
