Kenny reflects on his fighting career, the lessons learned from competition, and how his mindset shifted when he discovered bitcoin in 2017. We explore the parallels between the discipline of fighting and the principles of bitcoin, misconceptions about volatility, and its role as a defensive asset. Kenny shares his thoughts on bitcoin’s potential as a global reserve, the growing race for adoption among nations, and the unique advantages it offers over traditional assets like real estate. We also discuss self-custody, the importance of educating newcomers, and how tools like Unchained’s bitcoin retirement calculator can help individuals better understand bitcoin's long term potential.\nSUPPORT THE PODCAST:\n→ Subscribe\n→ Leave a review\n→ Share the show with your friends and family\n→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com\n→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description\n→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description\n→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontier\nTIMESTAMPS:\n00:00:00 - Intro\n00:01:06 - Introducing Kenny Florian\n00:02:30 - From law school dreams to the UFC\n00:05:15 - What it's like training as a professional fighter\n00:07:35 - The mental and physical challenges of weight cutting\n00:10:17 - Discovering bitcoin: first impressions and early doubts\n00:13:55 - Going all in on bitcoin in 2017\n00:15:35 - Why bitcoin is the ultimate underdog\n00:18:12 - Bitcoin's defensive qualities and wealth preservation\n00:22:03 - Misconceptions about bitcoin: volatility and risk\n00:24:18 - Bitcoin vs. traditional investments like real estate\n00:26:50 - Lessons from Michael...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WoeHujZLSYOjeE_EY1iBuQ0tTK0I8K63kAncvwN8qto/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NTI2/Y2ZjZjFjN2NlZjI3/ZmQyZjc5ODQyMTc5/OTYxMi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
