  • Our guest this episode is the notorious Mr. Bald from Bald and Bankrupt on UA-cam! He's amassed over 4 million subscribers and embarked on many dangerous journies and documented travels to places few have gone to visit. These risks have paid off as Bald actually filed for bankruptcy in the UK before he began filming but is now a certified millionaire thanks to his UA-cam channel. Find out how he finally put these funds to use after having them just sit in a zero interest bank account for years.

    Amazing, i started watching bald videos about 2020 and it became my absolute favorite channel just by character and content, now being a crypto OG (10yrs more) i can finally see that all these people we have same kind of thinking going through life, very impressed that you found out about these options where only young people with very little hope of current system would start to exploring new ways and thinking outside of the box, not only my favorite youtuber but a crypto man as well, flippin heck! :D i was rooting for bald to say something like that. I live in UK atm :D

    Johnny I'd urge you to take the time to understand what BTC really is. You lost everything because you kept your keys on a centralized exchange. The point of BTC is that it's a bearer asset like gold, you can take custody of it yourself. Self custody is the only way to safely store it over long periods of time
