Structural Pressures, Inflation, and Need for Agency

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.

🚨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)

📊 SHOCKING STATS DISCUSSED:

- Nigerian Naira: 1:1 with British Pound at independence → 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)

🎯 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."
