Show Notes
️ Episode 1: Why Bitcoin Is the Ultimate Strategic Reserve
Host: James Caw | Founder, SimplB – South Africa’s Bitcoin-Only Financial Services Provider
Welcome to the very first episode of The Strategic Reserve Podcast - where we explore how to protect and grow your wealth in a rapidly changing world using the power of hard money.
In this foundational episode, James Caw unpacks what it means to treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset - not a speculative gamble, but a serious long-term solution for individuals, families, and businesses who are thinking generationally.
Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or looking to deepen your conviction, this episode will help you understand:
✅ Why Bitcoin is different from “crypto”
✅ The problem Bitcoin solves: digital scarcity & double-spending
✅ How Bitcoin acts as a store of value in high-inflation economies
✅ Why no one has lost fiat purchasing power by holding Bitcoin for 5+ years
✅ What a Strategic Reserve is - and how Bitcoin fits the definition
✅ Why other cryptocurrencies can’t simply “replace” Bitcoin
James also introduces his company, www.Simpl.co.za, South Africa’s first fully compliant, Bitcoin-only firm. SimplB helps clients across the region to:

– Store it using self-custody and multi-signature vaults
– Manage long-term holdings across personal, trust, and institutional structures
