Meet Dale Warburton
My journey’s been a winding road across continents, shaped by a deep love for learning and a knack for connecting dots across disciplines. With a BA in Political Philosophy, an LLB in Law, an MSc in Real Estate, and a Diploma in Financial Services (FG146), I’ve built a foundation that blends critical thinking, legal insight, and financial acumen. This diverse mix has given me a unique lens on the world — one that’s global, grounded, and always curious.
My Story
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—over 100 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, serving as Head of Bitcoin Mentor Australia, the world’s leading consultancy for Bitcoin self-custody. I help people secure their Bitcoin not just for today, but for generations to come. Beyond that, I’m a speaker and MC at Bitcoin conferences, and I host The Why Bitcoin Show podcast, where I explore Bitcoin’s impact through conversations on markets, geopolitics, and culture.
​
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.
