In this episode, Ben and Bergs break down their biggest Bitcoin move yet. Ben explains why he bought $100,000 of BTC while on holiday, how he thinks about long-term allocation, and why price noise does not matter if your time horizon is 5 to 10 years. They also unpack the private jet story, not as a flex, but as a lesson in buying back time to execute when it counts.
You will learn how to avoid emotional decisions, why Bitcoin is the foundation and altcoins are a cycle play, and how macro liquidity, rate cuts, and market structure shape the next 6 to 12 months.
Key Takeaways
◻️ Bitcoin is the forever asset. Altcoins are a cycle trade with clear exits.
◻️ Have a plan for entries, cash reserves, and profit taking before the volatility hits.
◻️ Time beats tinkering. Reduce decisions. Focus on conviction and horizon.
◻️ Money buys back time. Use it to make better decisions and compound faster.

In this episode Ben and Bergs break down their biggest Bitcoin move yet, including why Ben just bought $100,000 of BTC while on holiday and how they think about long-term portfolio strategy.
They dive into why short-term price moves don’t matter, how to avoid emotional investing, and why Bitcoin is the foundation while altcoins are a cycle play.
Whether you are new to crypto or managing a seven-figure portfolio, this is the mindset shift that separates strong investors from weak hands.
Key Takeaways
◻️ Bitcoin is a forever asset while altcoins are a cycle play
◻️ Short-term corrections are not threats, they are opportunities
◻️ Time in the market does not equal better returns, structure does
◻️ Investing without clear goals is like sailing without a map

Key Takeaways:
- Retirement fund access to Bitcoin could unleash trillions in buying power
- The real adoption wave is coming from everyday investors and institutions

- Don’t try to time the top, the risk isn’t worth the reward

This week, Ben and Bergs dive into one of the most important (and least understood) topics: how the financial system really works and why most people get left behind.
From Ben’s banking frustrations to why holding cash is a slow bleed, they unpack how the system is built to benefit institutions, not individuals. They explain the mechanics of inflation, compound wealth erosion, and why putting money in the bank isn't just unproductive — it's dangerous long-term.
You’ll also learn how top investors and business owners structure their wealth to outpace inflation, reduce tax, and build real wealth.
Key Takeaways:
- How tax-efficient structures can double your investing power
- Why understanding money is more important than working for it
- The system is rigged, learn how to play the game, or lose by default

Most people try to figure everything out alone. We think that's the slowest (and hardest) way to grow.
In this episode, we talk about the single decision that’s accelerated our careers more than anything else: hiring coaches. From running marathons to raising millions—coaches have been our cheat code.
We break down why the best performers in every field have mentors, the blind spots you're probably missing, and how to fast-track your progress—whether in business, life, or crypto.
Key Takeaways
☉ Why hiring coaches is the ultimate cheat code for growth
☉ How to identify your blind spots and fix them fast
☉ The difference between real experience and empty advice

In this episode of the Ben & Bergs Podcast, we’re officially calling it: this bull market is nothing like the last one.
Altcoins are getting crushed against Bitcoin, with most down 30–50% while BTC continues to dominate. Ben and Bergs unpack:
Key Takeaways
- Altcoins are underperforming Bitcoin by 40% YTD—most retail investors are still down bad
- Old strategies from 2017 or 2021 won’t work this cycle due to poor tokenomics and low retail demand
- Bitcoin is behaving like a flight-to-safety asset, showing surprising strength during global conflict
- You must actively manage your portfolio—cut underperformers and double down on conviction plays
Good investors react to the market’s behaviour, not the headlines.

In this episode of the Ben & Bergs Podcast, Ben and Bergs get real about money—what it actually gives you, and what it doesn’t. From growing up with very little to building a thriving business and hitting new financial milestones, they share raw insights on what money can and can’t solve.
Key Takeaways:
- Money doesn’t guarantee happiness, but it does buy freedom and options
- Time is the most valuable currency—use money to buy it back
- True wealth comes with self-awareness, not just a big bank balance
- You’ll still need purpose and fulfilment—money can’t replace meaning

In this episode, Ben shares the behind-the-scenes of how he took profits from an altcoin he’s been holding for years—Maple (now Syrup)—and used it to start the process of buying a property for his parents.
It’s not about picking the exact top. It’s about having a plan, sticking to it, and using crypto as a tool to hit meaningful life goals.
Ben explains why he sold, how he sized the position, and what he’s learned from helping hundreds of investors avoid the classic round-trip mistake. Bergs and Ben also talk about broader portfolio diversification, emotional barriers to selling, and why taking profits isn’t just smart—it’s necessary.
If you’re holding 2x–10x returns and still waiting… this episode is your wake-up call.
Key Takeaways:
- Taking profits isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress.
- Ben’s Maple/Syrup investment hit 560% returns, and he sold 33%.
- Selling at the right time means sticking to your strategy, not chasing the peak.
- Most investors fail because they don't have a plan, don’t be one of them.

We’re back after the biggest month in Collective Shift history.
In this episode (220), Ben and Bergs break down the current state of the market, why altcoins are still lagging despite Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs, and how global liquidity and macro conditions are lining up for the next leg of the bull run.
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin is still showing strength, and altcoins haven’t caught up yet.
- Most retail investors are still sitting on losses, which means the euphoric top likely isn’t in.
- M2 money supply and macro tailwinds suggest much more upside ahead.
- You need to be selective with altcoins; the majority will fail.
- This market moves fast; you can’t just set and forget. Active management is key.
