100,000 Tech Layoffs This Week: Why Bitcoin Is Your Only Escape | Zuby

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."

WHO IS ZUBY?

- Oxford Computer Science Graduate

- Independent Rapper with 1M+ followers

- Host of Real Talk with Zuby podcast

- Joe Rogan Experience guest

- Living proof that breaking from the status quo = freedom

Broken Money with Lyn Alden: The Technological Arc of Money and Power

From the Onramp Media Archives..

Lyn Alden traces the arc of monetary technology—from shells and tobacco to gold and Bitcoin—and how each leap reshaped who controls money. She explains why Bitcoin represents the end of financialization and the first true form of digital settlement, closing a 150-year gap between transactions and finality. Alden unpacks the forces driving fiscal dominance, the coming liquidity cycle, and why sound, scarce assets like Bitcoin are positioned to lead in a macro-heavy decade defined by debt, geopolitics, and technological change. Originally recorded in February 2024.

04:20 – Money as a Ledger & the Question of Control
