As bitcoin climbed to levels unseen since March, Nigerian-British polymath Zuby—renowned as a rapper, podcaster, author, and public speaker—told his 1.2 million followers on X to “save in bitcoin,” eschewing reliance on saving in fiat currency.
Zuby Discloses a Literal ‘Cheat Code for the Emotionally Stable’
Although equity markets found renewed footing amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s more conciliatory tone on tariffs, bitcoin’s price trajectory diverged this week, showing upward movement even when traditional finance (TradFi) stocks faltered. Recently, BTC’s synchronization with equities appears to have loosened a great deal. On Wednesday, Zuby responded to a widely circulating post on X that asked, “What’s a ‘cheat code’ you discovered in real life that actually works.”
Zuby reposted the question and said:
Save in bitcoin, not fiat. Literally a cheat code if you are emotionally stable and good at ignoring what the majority are doing.
Zuby has earned wide recognition for his candid perspectives on cultural and societal matters. Beyond his work as an entrepreneur, he is an strong proponent of bitcoin, often voicing his enthusiasm for the cryptocurrency’s capacity to promote financial autonomy and challenge conventional monetary frameworks. Across various interviews and podcasts, he has articulated how his interest in bitcoin was sparked by his grounding in finance and his experiences navigating virtual economies within gaming.
Within Zuby’s X thread, a user responded by sharing a visual comparison that used steak as a reference point to illustrate the shifting purchasing power of bitcoin versus the U.S. dollar over time. On the left side, the chart depicted how many steaks one bitcoin could purchase in 2015 (57 steaks), 2020 (3,450 steaks), and 2025 (7,568 steaks), emphasizing bitcoin’s dramatic price appreciation.

On the right, it showed the equivalent buying power of $100 across the same years: 13 steaks in 2015, 12 in 2020, and just 9 by 2025—pointing to a steady erosion of the dollar’s value amid ongoing inflation. Zuby responded to the post and remarked:
Everything keeps getting cheaper in bitcoin over time.
The collapse of fiat is not a fluke, but a consequence—the slow decay of value orchestrated by policymakers who exalt manipulation over merit. Their levers of control devalue the fruits of human effort, while bitcoin stands as a rebellion, a standard of earned wealth. The future will not belong to the printers of paper, but to the producers who refuse to be looted and save in censorship-resistant assets.
