Last week, a seemingly routine visit to my local dentist, Dr Hau, after chipping a tooth, turned out to be unexpectedly insightful. He recognised me from my podcast, and our conversation shifted from dental repairs to the idea of using a gold filling for my tooth. As the gloved fingers of the dental assistant gently
Wealth-Building in an Age of Feedback Loops. Among all the insanity of the world, we’re also on the edge of an exponential age of wealth fueled by the explosive growth in how fast information moves. Fortunes can rise or fall on the back of a monkey-jpg, a narrative, or a viral shift in perception. As
When the Beast Controls Your Wallet I had a chance recently to catch up with the legendary author G. Edward Griffin. At age 93 he may not see it come to pass, but he's been warning we're in the final stages of the current monetary system. It sounds scary, but if you're prepared, and you
Two Ways to Wealth for Everyday Investors A couple of weeks ago, I found myself in Las Vegas, not for the slots or the shows, but to hear Michael Saylor—the guy who turned MicroStrategy from a respectable $1.6 billion company in 2020 into a $75 billion Bitcoin juggernaut—talk to over 30,000 fans about wealth.

Inflation Is Not Transitory: So is it a Bug or a Feature? Fees, taxes, and inflation—nothing robs your investment account more than this evil threesome. With fees, if you’re not getting value, you can move your money wherever you like, but there’s diminishing returns the further you go. Once you hit zero then you realise,
Those who know me know that I'm not a fan of sports. In a moment of weakness recently, though, I watched 10 minutes of motorsport with one of my kids. Perhaps because it's pretty simple to understand, I'm happy to allocate a very small amount of my attention to it (and perhaps a bit of sailing).
[Opinion] Consider which industry, organisation or commodity, has the most to lose should widespread adoption of Bitcoin occur. I prefer Colonel Mustard, in the Conservatory, with the Candlestick, over the the most obvious shadowy superpowers of centralised authority most likely to blame here, but....

I dragged my eldest kid out fishing recently for some good ol' fashioned father son bonding time. There’s nowhere better to be than on the water. Of course he complained the entire time - bored out of his skull. It didn’t help that the fish weren’t biting, but come on kid, I’m trying to have
