100,000 Tech Layoffs This Week: Why Bitcoin Is Your Only Escape | Zuby
Onramp Bitcoin Media
From Altcoins to Bitcoin Conviction
Zuby explains investing across many crypto projects in 2017β2018, then learning through books and narrowing conviction to Bitcoin.
Zuby (@ZubyMusic) joins The Last Trade to reveal why bitcoin represents the greatest asymmetric opportunity for millennials and Gen Z - and why the journey from $100K to $1M will be MUCH easier than getting your first $100K.
π¨WHAT WE COVER:
- Why 100,000+ tech workers just lost their jobs (and who's next)
- The Nigerian hyperinflation story that opened Zuby's eyes to bitcoin
- Why bitcoin ISN'T crypto - it's financial survival
- The "escape velocity" principle: $0-$100K vs $100K-$1M
- How AI will force you to become "ungovernable" or get left behind
- Why the status quo is now your enemy (not your friend)
π SHOCKING STATS DISCUSSED:
- Nigerian Naira: 1:1 with British Pound at independence β 2,000:1 today
- 40% of all USD created in 18 months (2020-2021)
- Top 5 companies laid off 100,000+ workers THIS WEEK
- Bitcoin took 16 years to reach $100K (next 10x will be faster)
π― ZUBY'S BITCOIN THESIS:
"Why would you choose money that works against you? Some random person can hit a button and drop your savings by 10%, 20%, 50%, 90%. Bitcoin is the only escape."
