Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin now the topic of today’s video is not so much a directly educational Nation some interesting aspects to do with Bitcoin but actually a more zoomed out personal development approach that’s obviously going to talk about Bitcoin and the key thesis behind this video is it’s time for change um if you haven’t noticed I may have cut my hair I uh had well it’s not to say I was growing my hair I just didn’t cut it and uh two years later it got all long and I just thought you know what it’s time for change and there’s all other different aspects to that that I can delve into in maybe other videos that are a bit more interpersonal but uh it does it does build on to the different topics of the Bitcoin Network energy compute and finance everything is changing everything is accelera a in um whether it’s to the individual yourself there is things in your life that you might not be acting upon and you need to because they’re only preventing you from moving forward um whether it’s positive or negative um but moving through the struggle is well moving through the storm is far better than trying to sail around it and that goes to the bigger larger scale of things we’ve got problems with our financial system there is a niche group of people bitcoiners that are trying trying to present to the world a different way that things could be could be done the compute sector is always advancing more microchips more technology more devices to distract us and slap tablets in children’s faces it’s uh there’s a lot of change there’s a lot of societal issues concerns worries and then the energy sector as as we need more energy we need to build more and the different directions on the uh uh carbon side of things that that delving into what’s the right type of energy there’s just so much change in the world it causes depression anxiety and all these other pieces um that are are the byproduct of uncertainty and that is not to say that we’re going to live in a perfectly stable World either I just feel like humanity is moving towards a better world and if we collectively all see that then there has to be something right within that within that idea I for one want to build better cool fun interesting systems um I started this YouTube channel in a sense because I wanted to provide education that I feel that was missing and the other thing about education it has to be exciting but you also need a framework you can’t just teach to The Tool uh Elon Musk famously uh talked about putting an engine block inside a classroom and showing you know nuts and bolts all bolted together and going well how do we take the bolt off oh you need a wrench so instead of teaching this is a wrench and this is what it does it’s boring you go oh you you you apply a problem and you find a solution so reverse engineering so to speak and that’s that’s the other thing about change is you recognize all the problems the the secondary problems and also the fundamental problems and I see that the key fundamental issue in society is broken money you can look at every other issue in society the change the chaos the AI uh uh attack on productivity and replacement of humans goes in every direction the change the worries the concerns but if we stick to uh hard sound money that preserves our energy into the future it truly does change culture and Society because soft money makes us spend it quicker because it’s not worth it’s we in paper tomorrow but hard money has shown historically throughout history a a an approach to seek more value in life um better quality of music of course and I don’t know where I’m actually going with this video it’s just uh yeah the overall gist of this video is it’s time for change and that that could be to you to yourself uh something in your life that you’re wanting to change and and I say this because my approach to teaching something I’ve wanted to do I’ve always thought about I want to be a teacher when I’m 50 years old but I was like why why then why not now and my my thesis with teaching has always been boiled down to this statement if I positively affect just one person then it’s all worth it so this video has not got any specific Direction but I uh I hope you enjoy thank you for listening goodbye
