About this episode
Everyone asks the same question: “How much Bitcoin do I need to retire?”Most people try to answer that by guessing a future Bitcoin price. But that’s the wrong way to think about it. In this video, I walk through a much better framework — one based on Bitcoin’s block subsidy and what it actually represents: 10 minutes of the most secure computing and energy network ever built.By the end of this video, you’ll understand how you can use the halving schedule to set a realistic Bitcoin retirement stacking goalRetirement calculators:https://www.unchained.com/retirement-calculatorhttps://www.mybitcoinforecast.com/Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
