Climbing Out

Reflections on Being Born at "Peak" America, Squandered Opportunities, and Where We Go From Here.

My take on the CLARITY Act.

Code is Not a Crime

Why the CLARITY Act Must Protect the Builders

In April 2023, I argued that Saudi Arabia should diversify a small portion of its sovereign reserves away from U.S. Treasuries and into Bitcoin. Three years on, almost every premise of that piece has hardened. The price of Bitcoin has nearly tripled. The purchasing power of the dollar has continued to deteriorate. But most surprisingly, the “protection racket” portion of the petrodollar agreement has failed. Today, we evaluate why the Saudis and the Gulf need Bitcoin now more than ever.

Why doesn’t Coinbase just tokenize $STRC and pay people 11% on their money? Far better yield than that offered by $USDC

As the child of a Community Banker, some of my fondest childhood memories include eating gobs of free popcorn, playing hide-and-seek in the hallways, and racing the elevator up the Community Bank's stairs. So I wrote this article with a heavy heart... Today, many Community Banks are in a tough spot. Read my latest to find out how we keep them in the game.

Why the United Nations' Days Are Numbered, and What Comes Next.

My latest take: “The UN only worked in the past because almost everyone was afraid to try their hand against the U.S… Now that has changed.”

What happens when Nvidia, AMD, Open AI, and the like start stacking? #Bitcoin

As young people become more aware of the economic disadvantages they face, they've started to view violence as a justified last resort. In this article, we’ll look at how fiat currency destroys the social contract… how it’s given the central government far too much power, and how it’s left many, especially the youth, in a state of financial nihilism.

Rules, Not Rulers

How Fiat Currency Destroys Society. And How Bitcoin Redeems It.

In my latest article, I explain how #Bitcoin forces elites to compete honestly in the marketplace rather than through political connections. "Bitcoin forces discipline upon the government, restrains speculative excess, and ensures that the nation's prosperity benefits everyone rather than only a narrow class of Cantillionaire insiders."

Watching Gold move like this… it’s taking every fiber of my being not to ape into #Bitcoin levered long here… it feels like a repeat of Fall 2020 is upon us…

End the Fed! End the Fed! End the Fed!
