Joe, Scott and Jez join Jordan to reflect on what changed in the UK Bitcoin landscape over 2025, and what that signals for 2026. They discuss how conversations are shifting from price talk to the deeper issues of living standards, broken incentives, and why more people now sense that something in the system is failing.They explore the “debasement trade”, the renewed attention on gold and silver, and why Bitcoin increasingly stands out as a practical way for individuals and businesses to protect long-term effort and savings. The episode also looks at how Bitcoin education is evolving, why calm explanations matter more than hype, and why business adoption could become the key driver of UK normalisation.CONTACT JORDAN:X: https://x.com/JayW132LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-walker-293955106/Email: hello@bitcoincollective.coCONTACT JOE:X: https://x.com/SatmoJoeLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joe-bryan-763946a/CONTACT SCOTT:X: https://x.com/btconlyscottLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/scott-p-ellam-5a097449CONTACT JEZ:X: https://x.com/Jcastweet00:00 Understanding Bitcoin's Potential01:03 Holiday Reflections and Year-End Wrap-Up03:17 Business Success and Bitcoin Adoption06:58 Shifting Perceptions on Bitcoin11:30 Economic Realities and Bitcoin's Role28:58 Peter McCormack's Breaking Point29:26 The Importance of Bitcoin Education30:30 Struggles of Modern Families31:19 Bitcoin's Marketing Problem32:48 Generational Wealth and Housing34:15 Bitcoin as a Beacon of Hope34:46 Conversations with Family about Bitcoin42:02 The Decline of Excellence in the UK47:33 Bitcoin's Role in Business and Society52:22 Looking Forward to 2026 and Beyond01:01:50 Closing Thoughts and Holiday WishesREAD OUR NEWSLETTER:https://newsletter.bitcoincollective.co/LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/06sBiOznJDxuhafDmkE9VK?si=3f0a8bb8abd64eecApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-bitcoin-collective/id1561573613Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/AYHiNhTTv0HOgGEjRjWNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bitcoincollective?sub_confirmation=1All content provided by The Bitcoin Collective and guests in this episode is for informational and educational purposes only and is not meant to represent financial, trade or investment advice.Why Bitcoin Is Starting to Feel Inevitable⸻EDITED BY JAMES PEARCELinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-pearcesf/Available now on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.#Bitcoin #BitcoinUK #SoundMoney

Larry Lepard, investor and author of The Big Print, joins Jordan to examine why gold is signalling monetary debasement and what that means for Bitcoin. He explains why gold often moves first, why Bitcoin typically follows, and why simple, clear education still matters.
