Trey Sellers of Unchained and Andy Flattery discuss how bitcoin relates to the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement. Bitcoin allows individuals to hold their wealth in money itself rather than subpar assets like real estate, stocks, bonds, or gold. Sellers explains that the demonetization of assets occurs when traditional money loses value over time and individuals have to choose where to store their value. He argues that the monetary premium for these other assets, such as real estate and index funds, can be replaced with bitcoin as the global standard for wealth preservation.Episode page - https://simplewealthkc.com/achieving-true-financial-independence-unchaineds-trey-sellers/ Get the essential listening list of The Reformed Financial Advisor episodesIntro music is Ryan O'Connor'sFollow Andy Flattery on TwitterSend an email to andy@simplewealthkc.com

Factory financial advice limits high achievers. Successful people will often credit things like skills acquired, stepping stone achievements, risk taking, connections made, and luck for their greatest accomplishments. They don’t credit a goals based plan for retirement that they made 30 years ago!Instead of being laser focused on retirement, the alternative is to be a craftsman in something, have broad interests,  take small risks & be a tinkerer,  and don't retire, just pivot. The singer of "Seven Nation Army" provides the model.  Show Notes: https://simplewealthkc.com/jack-white-tinkering-the-limits-of-goals-based-planning-podcast/ Get the essential listening list of The Reformed Financial Advisor episodesIntro music is Ryan O'Connor'sFollow Andy Flattery on TwitterSend an email to andy@simplewealthkc.com

"So why won't there be bitcoin banks that do this (custody) for you? I think there will be, but there's always going to be one problem with this, which is that bitcoin transactions are irreversible. And so it's an inherent core change in the security model of bitcoin compared to the legacy banking system. And because of that, there's always going to be some level of additional risk with holding your bitcoin in a bitcoin bank."          - Nick Neuman, CEO of CasaAndy Flattery & Nick Neuman discuss:- The basics of BTC self-custody- Nick's Kansas City roots- The "grand plan" career path isn't the way to become CEO of a BTC company- "Bitcoin banking" is fundamentally difficult- Voldemort's Horcruxes and Multi-Signature Self CustodyShow Notes: https://simplewealthkc.com/getting-your-bitcoin-off-of-coinbase--nick-neuman-podcast/ Interlude & Outro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W9TJ2JUW9c Get the essential listening list of The Reformed Financial Advisor episodesIntro music is Ryan O'Connor'sFollow Andy Flattery on TwitterSend an email to andy@simplewealthkc.com
