Debasement of money = Deterioration of families At first glance, these may seem unrelated. But the more you study history, the more you realize: When money breaks, everything downstream starts to unravel. Before fiat currencies untethered from gold in the 20th century, it was common for a single income to support a family. One working parent, one stable home and a slower, more connected life. Today? Two working parents are often barely getting by This isn’t just inflation, it’s monetary debasement!

image Canada eliminated the penny in 2013 It disappeared not because we stopped needing money, but because fiat money stopped holding value at that scale. The cost to produce a penny was more than its purchasing power This is what inflation does, it makes your smallest units irrelevant… and then comes for the rest. It’s not just about rising prices it’s about the slow dismantling of the measuring unit. Australia also phased out the 2 cent coin in 1992. Nickels are next, then dimes and eventually dollars. While fiat currencies eliminate small units due to inflation, Bitcoin needs smaller units 1 bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats 1 sat = 1,000 msats There can never be more than 21,000,000 bitcoin You don’t inflate the supply, you subdivide it! Don't wait for your money to collapse to understand what went wrong. Learn from the past. Opt out, choose bitcoin

image Bitcoin is divisible down to 100 million satoshis per coin Every bitcoin contains 100,000,000 satoshis (sats), and you can send or receive a fraction of a bitcoin in seconds Gold is hard to divide without losing value. Try shaving off $5 worth of gold dust to buy a coffee Divisibility sounds like a technical detail. But it’s what makes bitcoin accessible in a way no traditional asset can match. It is what makes it different from gold, better than fiat, and perfectly suited for the way value flows today

image UK core inflation just dropped to 3.6%. That’s the lowest it’s been in over two years! For most people, that headline might sound like good news. But here’s the catch: "Lower inflation" doesn’t mean prices are falling, it just means they’re rising more slowly than before

image Your iPhone is cheaper than ever if you measure in Bitcoin. Central banks keep expanding the money supply. Prices in dollars keep rising. But measured in Bitcoin? The story flips. That $5 latte that cost $3 five years ago? In Bitcoin terms, it's actually cheaper. The same is true for major assets: Tesla Model S in 2017: 20 BTC → today: 0.8 BTC Median U.S. home in 2020: 20 BTC → today: 4 BTC iPhone 6 in 2015: 2.67 BTC → iPhone 15 Pro today: 0.01 BTC This isn't a gimmick, it's sound money in action. Where fiat currency loses purchasing power with every cycle of monetary expansion, Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins provides a stable reference point. It allows us to see the true cost of goods and services, independent of central bank policy. The implications are clear: measuring wealth in dollars guarantees erosion. Measuring in Bitcoin reveals preservation and in many cases, growth of purchasing power over time. As adoption continues, Bitcoin is transitioning from speculative asset to global store of value. For those managing capital across generations, this isn't just about diversification. It's about moving from a system designed to dilute your wealth to one designed to protect it.

Today the Fed is expected to cut rates by 25bps. This raises a fundamental question: Why should a handful of bureaucrats decide the price of money for 330 million Americans? The Case for Market-Determined Rates In a free market, interest rates emerge from millions of voluntary decisions by savers, borrowers, and entrepreneurs acting on rational self-interest. This natural price discovery reflects real supply and demand for capital, not government decree. The Fed's approach embodies central planning hubris: 12 people believing they can outsmart collective market wisdom. While they only directly control short-term rates, their manipulation ripples throughout the economy, distorting investment decisions, creating boom-bust cycles, and punishing savers. The Philosophical Problem Every Fed meeting exercises force against peaceful market participants. True voluntary exchange means people freely choosing interest rates, not having them imposed by unelected officials who face no market consequences for errors. Government's proper role is protecting individual rights from force and fraud, not controlling voluntary transactions between consenting parties. A Sound Money Solution The answer isn't better central bankers, it's eliminating central banking altogether. Bitcoin represents decentralized, algorithmic money free from political manipulation. No Fed meetings, no rate cuts, no monetary authoritarianism. Market forces, not bureaucratic force, should determine the price of money. It's time to separate money and state.

image We’re already 1/3 of the way through this halving cycle, we’re over 70,000 blocks in. Bitcoin’s monetary policy isn’t controlled by a central bank, it’s written in code! Every 210,000 blocks, the new supply of bitcoin drops in half. The block reward has been 3.125 bitcoin and after block 1,050,000 the block reward will be 1.5625

In moments of instability, what you own matters, but what you can access is everything! Gold has a high value to weight ratio and it is extremely difficult to transport. Even smaller amounts of gold are inconvenient. Imagine trying to send a few thousand dollars’ worth of gold to a family member overseas. It’s not happening. Now imagine two people fleeing a country in crisis: - One is carrying a backpack filled with gold, they will face questioning at every border. Confiscation is a real risk and so is theft. Even if they make it through, they’ll struggle to convert that gold into usable funds without trusted intermediaries, paperwork, and time. - The other memorized 12 words … Bitcoin is more scarce than gold and adds the portability of the internet. Bitcoin moves as fast as an email, it crosses borders without friction and without permission. In a crisis, portability becomes everything!

image The Fed will most likely cut rates on Wednesday. That means borrowing gets cheaper, more dollars flood the system and historically, assets go up. But it also means something else: There will be more currency debasement and less purchasing power for anyone holding cash That’s why capital rotates into scarce, hard assets! Bitcoin can’t be inflated Bitcoin is sound money ⚡

image Gold went up to $3,650 an ounce, inching toward all-time highs The fact that gold is climbing says a lot about where things are headed. Jobless claims climbed to their highest level in four years, markets are pricing in a 25bps rate cut and geopolitical tension is adding to the flight to safety. The market is preparing for looser monetary policy and growing economic uncertainty. That’s the exact kind of environment where hard assets thrive. As capital searches for safety, liquidity, and freedom, they will find bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn’t just store value, it challenges the very system that makes stores of value necessary!

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics just released its annual benchmark revisions, and the results are staggering: 911,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the year leading up to March 2025. That’s the largest downward adjustment since records began in 2002. Job growth slower than thought: Monthly job creation averaged 76,000 fewer than initial reports.

image UBI vs Bitcoin: A tale of two visions Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Bitcoin are both responses to the same problem: A broken economic system Increasing inequality A future where automation threatens jobs and the cost of living keeps climbing But they offer very different solutions, let’s break it down: UBI says: “Let’s fix the problem by giving everyone money.” Sounds fair and humane, and in a world where wages are stagnant and the cost of living rising, it’s easy to understand the appeal. But UBI still depends on a central government deciding how much you get, endless money printing to fund it, the assumption that inflation won’t eat it faster than it’s given, political cycles, tax changes and budget deficits. In short, it gives you fish, but the lake is leaking. Bitcoin says: “Let’s fix the money so people don’t need constant handouts.” It doesn’t promise income, it promises a foundation where your savings don’t lose value every year, you don’t need permission to participate, wealth isn’t siphoned off by inflation, fees, or hidden taxes and the rules are fixed, transparent, and incorruptible. Bitcoin doesn’t give you free money, it gives you fair money! UBI treats the symptom, Bitcoin fixes the cause. UBI might be necessary because fiat is broken but UBI will likely make that problem worse by increasing the money supply even more, which inflates prices, which makes the UBI less effective, which requires even more money… Bitcoin breaks that loop. So maybe the question isn’t “UBI or Bitcoin?” Maybe it’s: Do you want more broken money in your pocket or a system that doesn’t break you to begin with?

image Can governments stop Bitcoin? The short answer? No! Every few months, someone trots out the same old line: “What if the government bans Bitcoin?” As if that’s checkmate But Bitcoin isn’t a company, it’s not an app, it’s not a product with a CEO or a headquarters or a single point of failure! Bitcoin is a decentralized protocol that runs on tens of thousands of nodes across nearly every country. With no central authority to coerce, subpoena, or shut down. So, can governments try to stop it? Sure But can they succeed? That’s a different story. They can’t shut it down technically Bitcoin is code, it’s math and it is a global network powered by anyone with a device and an internet connection. You can’t ban that! You can make it inconvenient and make it illegal for your citizens, but you can’t make it disappear. China banned Bitcoin a dozen times Guess what? Chinese miners still mine and Chinese citizens still use it. Governments can regulate on-ramps, but not the protocol They can KYC users, restrict withdrawals, tighten AML laws. But once bitcoin is off the exchange and in self-custody, it’s sovereign They can’t reverse peer-to-peer transactions or stop you from memorizing 12 words. Anyone, anywhere, can still run a node, still hold their keys and still opt out. Bitcoin’s resilience isn’t just technical, it’s philosophical. It empowers individuals over institutions. And institutions don’t like that, but they can’t stop it. But eventually, they’ll do what all governments do when faced with unstoppable tech: They’ll adapt or get left behind!

image Canada's job market just hit a wall. 66,000 jobs disappeared in August alone. Here's what Statistics Canada's latest report reveals: - Second consecutive month of employment decline - Unemployment jumped to 7.1% the highest since 2016 (outside the pandemic) - Professional services got hammered, losing 26,000 positions - Of those who lost jobs in July, only 15.2% found new work by August The broader picture is even more concerning: Ontario, BC, and Alberta are leading the losses. Youth unemployment sits at a staggering 14.5%. Students faced their worst summer job market since 2009. Nearly 1 in 10 Canadians want more work but can't get them. A third of people working multiple jobs say they're just trying to cover basic needs. This isn't a blip, it's a trend. And when your government's economic policies consistently weaken your purchasing power while jobs disappear, you need a Plan B. Smart Canadians are already building their defense: Saving in Bitcoin, an asset that can't be printed away by the Bank of Canada or devalued by failed fiscal policy. Don't let Ottawa's weakness become your poverty.
