Bitcoin vs Broken Money: Orange-Pilling the World w/ Michael Sutherlin (JWP43)
In Episode 43 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, Michael Sutherlin and I explore what it’s like living and working abroad, how Bitcoin empowers people in the developing world, and the personal changes that come from adopting a low-time-preference mindset.

The Crisis of Personal Responsibility in Australia
James explains why he's leaving Australia, how property obsession has masked deeper systemic decay, and the crisis of personal responsibility.
Bold move. Did the same in 2022. Renting has it's problems, balance sheet done very well though, looking to re-allocate back into real estate with a young fmaily to house
Lets see what happens!
The Harsh Truth About Australia Today
James Kintore joins me to share why he believes Australia has lost its edge, how property obsession replaced personal responsibility, and why the country now prioritizes comfort over courage. We explore cultural decay, government overreach, and the quiet collapse of freedom masked by rising house prices.

Bitcoin vs Real Estate: Which Should You Invest In?
James Kintore and I explore how Bitcoin shines a light on the hidden flaws of real estate as a store of value. We discuss how real estate has been heavily financialized, why it functions as a money substitute in a world of broken currencies, and how Bitcoin redefines the concept of savings itself.
"Australia has a crisis of personal responsibility and trust for the self, and I see the systemic issue in Australia is we want to outsource the responsibility to someone, to something. To sum up where Australia is: you can lock us up, you can tell us what to eat, you can tell us where to go and when we can be out — we’ll almost do anything. We'll do anything up until our property values go down."

The Average American Does Not Have $600 in Savings
Sam Gustavsson and I explore how financial fear blocks human potential, and how Bitcoin and a shift in mindset can remove that block completely. We discuss how most people are trapped in survival mode, how categorizing financial fear as "noise" changes everything, and why acting from fear only amplifies it.
Here's What Happens When You Meditate for 5 Minutes Everyday
Sam Gustavsson explains how sitting with whatever comes up allows us to heal old traumas, find inner peace, and stop acting from fear or pain. We talk about the journey from chasing external success to surrendering to the universe, the activation of our inner senses, and how introspection opens a gateway to a much bigger reality.
"The inner world is like a blueprint world for the external reality. So the inner world is where all the programming is, and then the outer world is where we play out the programming.
So the external world is like a simulation where we're just playing out the different patterns that we have in our blueprint. So then learning how to navigate the blueprint reality started shifting my external life radically."

Internal vs External Reality: Healing the Root of Your Problems, Not Just the Symptoms
Sam Gustavsson breaks down the difference between internal and external reality, and how tuning the "blueprint" inside of you creates changes your outer world.
Bitcoin vs XRP vs CBDC's: Freedom or Digital Slavery?
Symmone Gordon and I discuss why Bitcoin is fundamentally different from CBDCs, XRP, and the centralized financial system. Is Bitcoin really decentralized? Is XRP a trap? What makes Bitcoin resilient, unstoppable, and essential for global financial sovereignty?
Just seen an equity price that puts an investment of mine down by 16% vs 12 months ago
Since 27 April 2024 Bitcoin is up by 30%
🤯
The shareholders of this company not only saw their equity valuation go backwards, their real purchasing power eroded, but also they’ve missed out on 41% elsewhere
Really puts the pressure on the question “is a company now obsolete as a store-of-value?”
The mad thing: 98% of the rest of the shareholders won’t even run this calculation
Maybe. Would be a 8x on capital position cost
But what are you selling to buy instead?
160/170k usd wouldn’t surprise me
August 2025 was always my timeline sell window from last major allocation q4 2022
Right on track (bumpy ride though!)
Yeah not much incentive alignment there!
For me it’s the major alteration in time preference that Bitcoin has which will impact longevity most
When framed like this, I agree it is a large contradiction in ethics
It’s like encouraging the fox to “please come back and guard the henhouse”
But
For Bitcoin to grow as an asset class, without the key decision makers in tradfi, the fund managers themselves, I would argue that it’ll be very hard for Bitcoin to actually acquire its market share of global asset value
So in some ways, as Bitcoiners, we have to be careful not to fall into the “bite off the hand that feeds you” (eg the grumpy restaurateur who is irritated by all their holidaymaker customers. Without them he would have no restaurant!)
A friend is just exiting their fintech after 10 years building and exiting
Him: “I am having people pitch a bunch of things in the longevity space at me. It’s cool”
Me: “can I throw an idea out there? Build a Bitcoin business, advocate for Bitcoin, and I reckon that will have a far bigger result on longevity”
We’re so early…
No news is bad news
150%
They’re the same characters that will be calling for digital censorship
“All those influencers on Instagram spreading miss-information are so dangerous”
Do you ship to Australia? I would imagine shipping would be the same price as the wine!
The Austrian School of Economics is your friend here
Study “sound money” and you’ll start to see the difference clearly
Before I did, I had no idea there was a difference between saving and investing
The reason was there was no money that performed the store of value feature well, aside from potentially gold, but now that Bitcoin exists you can simply save with sound money and get capital growth in purchasing power
An investment means you’re taking risk in another asset class to money
Great rabbit hole
Wave of Bitcoin demand in-bound

At a high level yes
If you could fuse in:
- how bitcoin works in a business
- niche market dynamics (eg supply chain problems) that help see what is actually going on in an economy
- how Bitcoin is being adopted in general is always fascinating
Maybe you could have a premium subscription that gave you deals on the wine? Early bird? Discounts?
