Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Monday Monday's podcast where we cover three core topics,

how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity.

These podcast episodes are always under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure because the average workout is 45 minutes.

The average commute to work is 45 minutes. This episode will be between 33 and 37 minutes for you guys now it's really

rare that I bring guests back onto these episodes I've only been doing this

podcast for two and a half years today we are ranked number 25 in the world at a

5.4 million crushes crushing so this, he happens to be here in Las Vegas, and I'm out here for some meetings, and so, bada bing, butaboo, we have none other than Matthew Morgan. If you can, dive in, give us the quick two-minute bio, so we get straight to the money. Awesome. Well, thanks for having me, Dan. Appreciate you as always.

I'm happy to, you know, jump in on the Money Mondays when I can. My name is Matt Morgan,

born and raised in a farm in Montana, left in 2010 for greener pastures, if you will.

You can never work on anything again for the rest of your life. Wow, man. Like, this is like a game. It's like the ultimate game, right? so like you have to stop playing the game. But could I put the $2.8 billion into like that. See, that's your first thought. Can I buy one thing with it? Can I buy Bitcoin or not? Yes, you can buy Bitcoin. Because my fear is that if they give me $2.8 billion of U billion of US dollars, it could be worth zero long before

my life is over. We're going to get there. Okay, so let's cover our three topics, how to make
