• Bitcoin vs Gold: Which Is the Better Store of Value in 2025?

  Is Bitcoin replacing gold as the world's preferred store of value? In this episode, we dive into the ultimate debate: Bitcoin vs gold. We explore gold’s 5,000-year history as money, its real-world use in electronics and jewellery, and how it once settled million-pound property deals — even covering stories like Dutchy Waltz buying a farm with gold coins.Then we contrast that with Bitcoin: a digital asset that’s grown faster than gold ever did, offering provable scarcity, instant global settlement, and a supply cap hardcoded at 21 million. We look at Bitcoin’s market cap, volatility, and real-world use cases like payments over the Lightning Network — including Square’s rollout to millions of merchants.We also tackle key economic terms like unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value, with punchy analogies and quickfire counters to common gold bug arguments. From steak and eggs inflation metaphors to M2 money supply dilution, we ask the question: in a world that’s going digital, is physical gold still enough?Get intouch with Myles at [email protected]

• My Investing Journey: Learning Investment Fundamentals, Building Knowledge, and Exploring Bitcoin as Savings

  In this episode, I share my full investing journey — how I started learning investing as a teenager, applying investment fundamentals, and trying to beat the market through stock picking. I explain how I built a personal portfolio, why most investors fail to outperform the market, and why concepts like compound interest, dollar cost averaging, and diversification are essential to long-term investing success.We explore how to build wealth from small savings, the limits of day trading strategies, and why inflation-proof investments are more important than ever. I reveal why, after years of chasing stock market gains, I focused on Bitcoin — seeing it as a savings technology rather than just an investment — and why Bitcoin’s price history over the last 10 years outshines many traditional assets.Whether you’re curious about how to save money effectively, where to put your cash, or how to generate wealth for the future, this episode is packed with lessons from experience. We’ll cover how to diversify investments, what to do with money sitting in the bank, and how to build wealth even with a low income — using proven investment strategies and modern tools like Bitcoin.Get intouch with Myles at [email protected]
