From FIRE to Freedom: Trey Sellers on Urgency, Legacy & Bitcoin
In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, we sit down with Trey Sellers — VP of Sales at Unchained, finance veteran, and advocate for taking radical responsibility over your money and your future. Trey’s journey runs deep: from Goldman Sachs to early Bitcoin dabbling, from discovering the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement to realizing Bitcoin changes the math entirely. Today, he helps thousands of people secure their wealth in ways that are sovereign, tax-efficient, and built to last for generations. This is a candid, wide-ranging conversation about the urgency of stacking Bitcoin and designing a life you don’t want to retire from. We explore how Bitcoin reframes financial independence, why most people underestimate the speed of change, and the mindset shifts needed to live with both sovereignty and abundance.
