Why Everyday People Are Turning To Bitcoin

About this episode

Mathew Webb shares his journey to Bitcoin and how it has helped him and his family take control of their financial future.

In this episode, I sit down with Mathew Webb, an everyday Australian Bitcoiner who shares his journey from dabbling in sh*tcoins to building real conviction in Bitcoin, self-custody, and taking control of his family’s financial future. We talk about how many people first come to Bitcoin for the price, but stay for the philosophy, the control, and the realisation that the financial system might not be built in their favour. Matt shares stories from work, from everyday Australians struggling with rising costs, debt, and inflation, and why Bitcoin became a way for him and his family to take control of their money and their future.
