AI For Everyone

In this episode, I share my full investing journey — how I started learning investing as a teenager, applying investment fundamentals, and trying to beat the market through stock picking. I explain how I built a personal portfolio, why most investors fail to outperform the market, and why concepts like compound interest, dollar cost averaging, and diversification are essential to long-term investing success.We explore how to build wealth from small savings, the limits of day trading strategies, and why inflation-proof investments are more important than ever. I reveal why, after years of chasing stock market gains, I focused on Bitcoin — seeing it as a savings technology rather than just an investment — and why Bitcoin's price history over the last 10 years outshines many traditional assets.Whether you're curious about how to save money effectively, where to put your cash, or how to generate wealth for the future, this episode is packed with lessons from experience. We'll cover how to diversify investments, what to do with money sitting in the bank, and how to build wealth even with a low income — using proven investment strategies and modern tools like Bitcoin.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

In this episode, we explore the types of resistance to change that have followed every major innovation, from the first printing press to bitcoin adoption. We unpack the technology adoption theory and disruptive technology theory to explain why new ideas face skepticism and even outrage before becoming essential.You'll hear stories of how the technology adoption model played out across history: the invention of the printing press, the rise of paper money currency, the invention of the personal computer, the spread of the internet, and the revolutionary shift toward Bitcoin. We also explore how framing bias and sunk cost bias shape public perception of new technologies.Whether you're curious about the first laptop computer, want to understand how the technology acceptance model explains human behavior, or are wondering why bitcoin adoption sparks so much debate today, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the history of innovation — and how society eventually surrenders to progress.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

You've heard the headlines: “Bitcoin is for criminals.” But is that actually true?In this episode, we dig into the data, scandals, and hypocrisy behind the global money laundering industry. Spoiler: it's not Bitcoin moving $2 trillion a year — it's the traditional banking system.

Get Your First BitcoinsHow to buy bitcoin online. Best way to buy bitcoin. Bitcoin is primarily a medium of exchange — money you own and control directly. To hold it, you'll need a wallet. Unlike banks, Bitcoin puts you fully in charge of your money. That's powerful, but it comes with responsibility. There's no helpline, no CEO, no financial ombudsman — just you. History shows why this matters: in 1930s Germany, Jews fleeing the country were only allowed to leave with $4 — about $90 today. In more recent times, governments in countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Iran have frozen or devalued citizens' savings overnight. With Bitcoin, no one can take your funds — but you must learn how to store them properly.To get started, try the Wallet of Satoshi, one of the easiest ways to receive your first Bitcoin. Ask a friend who uses Bitcoin to send you $100 and pay them back with a bank transfer, cash, or dinner. As you go deeper, explore more secure options like hardware wallets — devices that keep your Bitcoin offline and safe. A popular choice is Trezor, which offers simple, secure cold storage for long-term holding. Later, you can look into multi-signature storage for even greater protection.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

If you care about decentralization, security, and the long game — this episode makes the case for why Bitcoin is still king.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

Here's a concise summary for your podcast show notes:

In this special episode, I sit down with my wife, Becs, for a candid conversation about Bitcoin—why she lets me put all our savings into it, what she remembers about my early obsession with it, and whether we should go as far as selling our flat to buy more. We dive into the deeper questions too, like whether government adoption of Bitcoin could undermine its original mission to empower the unbanked and give financial access to the poor. It's a mix of personal reflection, philosophy, and practical concerns—tune in for an honest look at how Bitcoin impacts our family and the bigger picture.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

​In this episode, we explore how inflation acts as a hidden tax, making it harder for younger generations to buy homes. We discuss how, even when general inflation seems low, housing prices have soared, outpacing wage growth and putting homeownership out of reach for many. Using simple examples, we show how traditional savings lose value over time, while alternatives like Bitcoin might offer better protection against inflation. We compare how a £20,000 investment in Bitcoin over the past eight years stacks up against cash savings and UK stocks, highlighting Bitcoin's potential as a store of value. Tune in to learn about these trends and consider strategies to protect and grow your wealth in the face of rising living costs.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

In this episode, we break down what makes a good store of value—scarcity, durability, security, portability, and inflation resistance. Gold has served this role for centuries, but its heavy, confiscatable, and slowly inflating supply limits its effectiveness. Fiat money, while convenient, loses value over time due to inflation. Bitcoin, however, offers absolute scarcity (21M cap), instant portability, and seizure resistance, making it a superior long-term store of value despite short-term volatility.

President Trump has officially signed an Executive Order establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking a major shift in financial policy. The reserve will be funded using Bitcoin seized in criminal and civil asset forfeiture proceedings, ensuring no cost to taxpayers. The U.S. government is estimated to hold 200,000 BTC, worth approximately $17.5 billion, though a full audit has never been conducted—something this order now mandates. Unlike past government sales that led to billions in lost value, the U.S. will now hold its Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, treating it as a “digital Fort Knox.” Additionally, a Digital Asset Stockpile has been created to manage other forfeited cryptocurrencies, but the government will not acquire additional altcoins beyond forfeitures. Treasury and Commerce Secretaries are also authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring more Bitcoin.This move carries major geopolitical and economic implications. By securing a Bitcoin reserve first, the U.S. may push other nations to accumulate BTC, sparking a global race for digital gold. This aligns with game theory dynamics, where first-movers gain an advantage, increasing Bitcoin's network effects and strengthening its position as a global reserve asset. Countries without Bitcoin reserves could find themselves at an economic and strategic disadvantage, reshaping international monetary policy. With this Executive Order, the U.S. signals its intent to lead in the digital asset space, reinforcing President Trump's vision of making America the “crypto capital of the world.”Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

A Response to The News Agents on BitcoinMain Criticisms & ResponsesBitcoin is Driven by Libertarian & Anarcho-Capitalist IdeologyWhile some Bitcoiners are libertarian, Bitcoin itself is neutral. It's used by people across the political spectrum, especially in countries with inflation and capital controls.Many Bitcoin advocates focus on financial freedom, not anarcho-capitalism. Its adoption by institutions (BlackRock, Fidelity) and nation-states (El Salvador) shows its mainstream relevance.Bitcoiners Want the Financial System to CollapseMost Bitcoin users see it as a hedge, not a weapon. They seek financial sovereignty amid inflation, reckless monetary policy, and overreach.Bitcoin is integrating with traditional finance, not replacing it. Major institutions hold Bitcoin, signaling coexistence, not destruction.Bitcoin is a Male-Dominated, Exclusive CommunityEarly adopters were mostly male, but adoption is diversifying. Women-led Bitcoin initiatives and education efforts are growing.Bitcoin is open to everyone, with grassroots adoption increasing in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.Bitcoin is a Bubble & Could CollapseBitcoin has survived multiple cycles over 15 years and remains a $2T asset. It's now embedded in global finance through ETFs and corporate treasuries.A Bitcoin collapse would impact investors but wouldn't trigger a systemic banking crisis.Bitcoin is Part of a Broader Tech Elitist MovementBitcoin's core purpose is financial independence, not AI-driven utopias.The majority of Bitcoin users are ordinary people in struggling economies, using it for remittances and savings.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

This week I am away on holiday, so trying something new. I am reading an article from the Economist called 'How to worry wisely about AI' The article discusses the rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and the concerns it raises regarding its potential dangers. It highlights the call for a pause in the creation of advanced AI systems by the Future of Life Institute due to fears of loss of control over civilization. The emergence of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has demonstrated unexpected talents, leading to excitement but also anxiety about AI's capabilities. The article explores the transformative potential of AI in various fields, from solving big problems to threatening job markets and even humanity itself. It discusses different regulatory approaches taken by governments, ranging from a light-touch approach to stricter regulation like the EU's proposed law. The article concludes by advocating for a measured approach to AI regulation, emphasizing the need to balance its opportunities with the assessment of risks.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com
