Meet Dale Warburton

I’m a South African now calling Australia home, with a career rooted in law and real estate. My journey into Bitcoin began in 2020 while studying for a financial planning diploma. It was my third encounter with Bitcoin, but this time, I dove in deep, and hundreds of hours of research later, I was hooked.

​

At the time, with Bitcoin priced at $39,000, I wrote my thesis, An Investment Case for a Non-Zero Allocation to Bitcoin. It wasn’t just about the numbers. As a South African, I’ve seen how inflation and confiscation can erode wealth in countless countries. Bitcoin stood out as more than an asset: it’s a path to financial freedom, a way to protect against eroding purchasing power and government overreach. To me, it’s both “number go up” (wealth creation through price appreciation) and “freedom go up” (security from confiscation, excessive taxation, or restricted transactions). In today’s world, that kind of money feels vital.

​

Now, I'm all in on bitcoin. I founded My Bitcoin Will to help self-custody holders get their estate planning sorted, a product built from my legal background and a gap I couldn't stop thinking about. I also host The Sovereign Life, a podcast about sovereignty, sound money, and freedom, and speak at Bitcoin conferences around the country. I'm also a Managing Mentor at Bitcoin Mentor Australia, the world's #1 bitcoin self-custody consultancy.

​

When I’m not immersed in Bitcoin, you’ll find me with my family and friends, soaking up time in nature, or indulging my love for animals and MMA. My big dream? To one day own a private game reserve in Africa, safeguarding vast stretches of wilderness for centuries to come.
