My latest newsletter is out! 🧡 Periods of uncertainty tend to reveal how systems function. Geopolitical conflict, fiscal pressure, and monetary expansion are not isolated events, they are part of a recurring cycle that has shaped financial systems throughout history. In this 36th edition, I examine how these dynamics affect property, wealth preservation, and why Bitcoin’s design offers a different framework for navigating an increasingly uncertain world.

My upcoming newsletter “Bitcoin Cycles: How Resilience Is Built” will be released early next week. 🤝
