My ₿itcoin story;

I first heard about ₿tc back in 2016. I was a personal trainer working for Braden, and honestly, it didn’t make sense to me a made-up currency? No thanks.

But over time I kept learning. Bit by bit it started to click. At first it looked like a way to make more money, to get ahead… maybe even get rich. Then I sold a house and made a decent profit, and for the first time I had a real chance to buy in.

It went against what everyone around me believed. It was a strong “buy property” culture, and ₿tc sounded like a gamble. But I wasn’t guessing I was studying. How it was created. Satoshi. Why it exists. What it actually stands for: freedom from a broken system.

So I committed.

Since then I’ve kept learning, and I’ve changed with it. The old fiat brain has been stripped out of me. I can see the true value of ₿tc now not as a dollar price, but as truth. Honesty. And in the long run, a path to freedom.

My ₿itcoin story;

Before any of this, I was a hockey player. Years of early mornings, cold rinks, injuries and repetition. I was fortunate enough to represent my country an honour I never took lightly. Later, hunting became another teacher. Quiet mornings, patience, respect for the land, and responsibility for the outcome. Both taught me the same lesson early on nothing real is given. Everything is earned.

That lesson carried into life. I became a gym founder, built a strong brand, and worked alongside incredible staff and clients. My life was already proof of work. In 2016, a client asked if he could pay me in ₿itcoin. I said yes. As I accumulated sats, I’d go back to him and say, “When ₿itcoin hits this number, I’ll buy that.” He always replied the same way: “You don’t understand ₿itcoin. Keep learning.” So I did—books, study, silence, time. I’d return with a new plan, and again he’d say, “You still don’t understand ₿itcoin. Go deeper.”

Then COVID arrived. Doors closed. Fear everywhere. And something unexpected happened. While others scrambled for certainty and liquidity, I felt calm not because I had answers, but because I had conviction. That’s when it landed. ₿itcoin isn’t designed for comfort. It exists for moments like this. My life had always been built on discipline, effort, and earned outcomes, but something was missing. ₿itcoin didn’t change who I was it revealed it. It completed the shift.

Since then, every business has been sold. Our family is all in. With time came space to look deeper beyond price and narratives into what’s possible on the protocol itself. ₿itcoin isn’t just money. It’s alignment. A system where truth emerges through work, not authority. And I’ve come to believe this a small number of people, acting with intention and integrity, can quietly shift the direction of the collective. That’s the journey.

Success for ZapWork isn’t beating fiat platforms at scale. It’s restoring meaning. A job posted with real intent, backed by real sats. Effort that isn’t wasted.

One real opportunity is worth more than a thousand illusions.

That’s the work.

Very well said. The universe doesn’t make mistakes. We are all here because we can handle and help facilitate this transition. It’s gods work, it’s spiritual and it’s deeper than money and currency.

We see your point. But we also see that ₿itcoin is an honest ledger, therefore needed some transparency.
