A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.

My newsletter "The Connection Between Money and Building Culture" is out! This essay is also part of my upcoming book 'Digital Real Estate', a project I've been working on for over 2.5 years. The writing process took far longer than expected, as I’ve tested every idea and strategy in practice—but the book is finally scheduled for release in Q2 2026. https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/the-connection-between-money-and-building-culture

Poor design has always existed, but fiat amplifies it by fueling mass production through artificially cheap credit, rigid regulation, and political capture.

I’ve postponed my newsletter on architecture to first tackle the bigger question: What is Bitcoin’s impact on global markets? I’ll dive into that in next week’s issue before zooming back into the micro-level of architecture, construction, and design. Out next week 📧 https://leonwankum.substack.com/

Each month I pick one theme and dive deep into it. If you’re interested, you can subscribe to my newsletter via the link below. https://leonwankum.substack.com/

I’ve uploaded my talk, How Bitcoin Changes the Way Humanity Saves and Lives, from this year’s BTC Prague, including the video, slides, and transcript, to my website, where you can also find my other work. https://leonwankum.com/how-bitcoin-changes-the-way-humanity-saves-lives/

In the next edition of my newsletter, I’ll explore how bitcoin, as a disinflationary monetary standard, could reshape construction practices, architectural aesthetics, and urban design. Out next month! https://leonwankum.substack.com/

In this month’s edition of my newsletter, I delve into the story of Metaplanet, my most comprehensive piece yet! 📨 It was important to me to understand the Metaplanet story in its entirety. If it’s as significant as it appears, it deserves a closer look, not just as a successful publicly listed company, but as a potential framework for understanding global Bitcoin adoption. nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzqzgz2jqp5l5w2zzmqtn3zc30phap4p2sxjf67fr25s40pr67f5kl34qnc2 nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwv3jhyettwfhhxuewd4jsqgxnqajr23msx5malhhcz8paa2t0r70gfjpyncsqx56ztyj2nyyvlq00heps https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/the-metaplanet-story-from-crisis-to-a-bitcoin-standard

One of the most underrated positive second-order effects of bitcoin is that rents don’t have to keep rising to offset inflation, they can actually stabilize, or even decline over time.

Bitcoin will make housing more affordable. As bitcoin's utility as collateral becomes more recognized over time, people will realize that it is a better store of value than real estate. There’s no longer a need to store wealth in property, as BTC can take that role, allowing the monetary premium currently embedded in real estate to flow into Bitcoin and letting property prices return to reflect actual utility. Even though this is a long process, it’s one of Bitcoin’s most important second-order effects: more affordable housing.

Purpose before motion.
