Today’s episode features Bitcoin advocate and investor Sunny Po. Sunny has crafted a unique, long-term strategy of investing in Bitcoin while shorting fiat currency — an approach that has allowed him to generate impressive returns, outperforming traditional benchmarks like the S&P 500 and hedge funds.
Sunny shares how he created $115k seemingly out of thin air in just 24 months with a blended 212% investment return. We also discuss his disciplined debt management plan from day one and how he tracks monthly progress to stay on course.
We dive deep into his risk management strategies, tax approaches modeled after billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffett, and his choice to forego withholding taxes to maximize Bitcoin investments today.
This episode also covers the emotional side of investing in volatile assets like Bitcoin and how Sunny stays level-headed through market swings. Plus, he offers insights on the longevity of the long Bitcoin/short fiat trade, fundamentals driving Bitcoin’s price upward, and his views on corporate Bitcoin investors like Microstrategy and Metaplanet.
Stick around to the end where Sunny discusses escaping the financial “matrix” and learning to play the game to your advantage — along with the tweet he expects to cherish in five years.
