In this fifth instalment of the Roberts Series, Dan sits down once again with Sam Roberts (actuary, pension expert, and Bitcoin thinker) from Cartwright Pension Trust.

This episode focuses on a concept Sam calls balance sheet resilience: not predicting a single bad scenario, but stress-testing your finances against many possible futures, including the continuation of a 55-year fiat monetary experiment that, by most measures, is becoming increasingly fragile.

Dan and Sam cover:

• What balance sheet resilience actually means, and why most organisations have never properly analysed it

• CPI at double digits, the Bank of England moving from 0% to 5%, and UK debt at 100% of GDP

• Why the media narrative around inflation is designed to look the wrong way

• Dan's Lebanon story, what happens to an economy with no government at all

• The £3 trillion UK pensions landscape and the rise of CDC and Tontines

• Three essential books: The Fourth Turning, The Big Print, and Principles of Economics

• Time preference, why sound money changes how you buy a kettle

• How charities are starting to think about Bitcoin for donations and treasury

• When stablecoins might be right and when only Bitcoin will do

Part 6 is already planned, and this episode ends with a preview of what's next.

In this episode, Dan sits down with Jordan and Jez from the Bitcoin Collective — the organisation behind the UK's first major Bitcoin conference in 2022 — who have just launched the Bitcoin Business Network.

Over £300 billion sits in UK SME business accounts. More than half earns zero percent. Jordan and Jez spotted a pattern: their Bitcoin community had three times the concentration of business owners compared to the national average. So they built something for them.

In this conversation, Dan, Jordan and Jez cover:

• How the Bitcoin Collective started as a podcast and became a movement
• Why the Bitcoin community is the only 'cult' that encourages critical thinking
• The £150 billion problem sitting in UK SME accounts earning nothing
• How a decision made at a train station over a Guinness launched the Network
• Why an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer is now publicly advocating for Bitcoin
• What happens when a hotel chain owner meets a Bitcoin-accepting tailor
• Why business owners — not retail investors — may be the fastest adopters

If you're an adviser with business-owner clients, or a business owner yourself, this episode is highly recommended.

In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA Podcast, Dan sits down with Sam Roberts to explore one simple but powerful question:

If you’re responsible for managing other people’s money… can you afford to ignore Bitcoin?

Rather than hype or price predictions, this discussion focuses on risk, fiduciary responsibility, and scenario analysis.

• What happens if Bitcoin goes to zero?
• What happens if it 10x’s?
• What happens if it 100x’s over 30 years?

And perhaps more importantly…

• What happens if fiat continues to debase?

What We Cover

• Why fiat currency is structurally designed to expand
• Fixed supply vs unlimited supply: basic supply and demand
• Why “Bitcoin to zero” is a responsible scenario to model
• Why ignoring Bitcoin may itself be reckless
• 3–5% global adoption
• The Cantillon effect and long-term currency debasement
• Why a 1–5% allocation deserves serious analysis
• Government bans, quantum computing & common objections
• Intergenerational wealth vs short-term speculation
