Matthew Halfacre, a 25-year trading veteran and multi-time entrepreneur, joins the show to completely demystify the world of Bitcoin and digital assets. He breaks down the complex shift of Bitcoin from a volatile, speculative asset into a Treasury-style reserve asset, much like digital gold. Matthew explains why the boat for crypto investing hasn’t sailed yet—in fact, it’s just leaving the shore. This episode is a masterclass for entrepreneurs on how to gain a competitive edge through deep macroeconomic research, leverage new technologies like AI, and apply historical market lessons to today’s opportunities.
