I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.
Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.
I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).
But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.
My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.
So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!
I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.
If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.
Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.

Lately there's a "Boomers vs Younger Generations" framing about wealth. But the truth is, not every boomer is sitting on a pile of assets.
In this new episode with Lawrence Lepard and Bob Burnett we dig into the Boomer Case for Bitcoin, why gold has been outperforming and signs that a "Big Print" might be imminent: https://youtu.be/x1dTsTyT8FE?si=szl-3aTyTYWzjOja

Oy. Some harsh words, but thank you for the review. My target audience was not those already well-versed in Bitcoin — rather the billions sitting on the sidelines. I didn’t want it to feel overly technical, academic or have a political slant. I put my heart into it and I’m proud of the end product. Although I’ve now learned that when you’re a writer there’s always something you wish you could tweak or improve when it goes to print. 🧡

Welcome to Season 5 of Coin Stories!
This is one for the books with Jeff Booth.
Our last interview went viral...this one will stretch you even further. We discuss:
- why prices rise but quality seems to disappear
- is capitalism/corporate greed to blame?
- do we need more regulations?
- free markets and competition
- what about wealth inequality under the Gold Standard?
- could Bitcoin secure a future of falling prices and increasing quality??! (Spoiler: it already is)

Bitcoin Is For Everyone is out now in print, audiobook, and ebook…I can’t believe I finally get to say that! It’s trending in several categories on Amazon this week ☺️

This passion project has been years in the making. It comes from my family’s immigrant story, from watching the American Dream get priced out for so many hard-working people, and from my conviction that understanding money and Bitcoin can truly change ordinary lives.
Before it goes out into the world in a bigger way, I want to acknowledge three early readers of my manuscript whose minds and hearts shaped this book in a huge way:
@nprofile…c44v's thoughtful, disciplined, data-driven mind was absolutely indispensable. Lyn’s ability to turn complex ideas into clear writing grounded in rock-solid facts was a huge inspiration. Knowing she took the time to read and challenge this book is an honor I don’t take lightly.
@nprofile…7ypf has such a uniquely calm, compassionate way of explaining the massive paradigm shift we’re living through. Jeff helped me articulate the transition we’re in (from a debt-driven, deflation-fighting system to something more hopeful) in a way that feels grounded and human.
And the incredible Michael @nprofile…jwx4…The way he combines first-principles logic, long-term vision, and personal integrity has deeply influenced my journey in Bitcoin. His example gave me so much courage to write boldly and from the heart.
To Lyn, Jeff, and Michael: thank you for reading early copies of Bitcoin Is For Everyone, for your feedback, and for the example you each set in this space. You helped make this book better!
I’m so excited (and very nervous!) to finally share it with all of you. You can order Bitcoin Is For Everyone now. I truly hope it helps people feel more empowered in this financial system.
https://blossom.primal.net/9de4503aa3b5d849c2c748ab98827d3638933ef974f465303763faec6e0f8724.jpg

I asked ChatGPT: If God were to create an ideal money for humanity, what form would it take and what would be its properties?
Its response:
If we imagine God creating an ideal money for humanity, it would likely have the following properties—reflecting principles of fairness, stability, and universal access:
⸻
1. Universally Accessible
•Everyone could use it regardless of nationality, wealth, or social status.
•No barriers to entry: you wouldn’t need permission from banks or governments.
⸻
2. Scarce but Divisible
•Supply would be finite to preserve value over time.
•Divisible into very small units so that both large and tiny transactions are possible.
⸻
3. Durable and Permanent
•It would not degrade, rot, or disappear with time.
•Value would persist for centuries without requiring trust in any authority.
⸻
4. Transportable and Borderless
•Easily transferable across any distance, instantly if possible.
•Works the same everywhere on Earth (and potentially beyond).
⸻
5. Neutral and Trustless
•No single group, government, or elite could manipulate or control it.
•Rules of issuance and supply would be transparent and unchangeable.
⸻
6. Stable but Free Market–Based
•Its value would reflect supply and demand, not decrees from rulers.
•Over time, its stability would come from broad adoption and trust.
⸻
7. Private but Verifiable
•People could transact without surveillance, yet the system itself would remain auditable and incorruptible.
⸻
8. Energy-Rooted or Natural-Law–Anchored
•It would be tied to something fundamental, like energy, mathematics, or nature’s scarcity—so its properties are unforgeable.
⸻
9. Resistant to Corruption
•Cannot be counterfeited, debased, or inflated at will.
•Protects savers and workers from hidden theft through money printing.
⸻
10. Global Standard of Truth
•Serves as a universal language of value across cultures.
•Creates fairness by aligning incentives: work today is worth the same tomorrow.
⸻
In many ways, this description maps almost perfectly onto Bitcoin’s design: fixed supply (21 million), infinite divisibility (sats), borderless transfer, neutrality (no issuer), cryptographic verifiability, durability, and energy-based security.
If God created an ideal money, humanity may already have stumbled into it—or at least something very close.

Like so many of you, I’ve been having a very difficult time processing the senseless act of evil and violence that took Charlie Kirk’s life.
Charlie was a man of deep faith, and I take comfort in my belief that his soul is now experiencing eternal peace with his Creator. What has weighed most heavily on my heart all week is not just the loss of his inspiring voice, but thinking about his wife Erika and her unimaginable pain, and their two beloved children – who are far too young to understand why their father won’t be coming home. Seeing Erika grieving beside his casket and hearing that their daughter has been asking “where is daddy?” has gutted me.
A coward robbed them of life’s most precious and priceless gifts: growing old together, watching their children grow, and building memories as a family.
I don’t often speak on politics publicly because things have become so divided and frankly because I have been disenchanted by both parties throughout my life. I’ve chosen to stay in my lane because the one thing that has given me hope in this broken world is Bitcoin. Not because it belongs to one side or the other, but because I believe it is something that we can all eventually get behind together.
What truly unites us are deeper truths: freedom, connection, love, faith, and hope. Charlie understood this.
I firmly believe the deeper source of our division, and the despair we see everywhere today, is a symptom of the corruption of our money. When money is monopolized for the benefit of a select few and stripped of its integrity, everything in society begins to erode – our morals, our responsibility, our long-term vision, even our sense of purpose. That is the world we live in today, where too many young people have lost hope.
And yet Charlie rose in that moment. He awakened a movement of young people who were handed a mountain of debt, broken institutions, and a world stripped of trust, and he inspired them to believe in a better future. That’s extraordinary.
Charlie embodied so much of what our community aspires to: courage, truth, responsibility. And I have long believed that he was poised to become one of Bitcoin’s strongest and most eloquent advocates.
There are two things you cannot kill: a soul, and an idea. I pray deeply for Charlie’s soul, and I know the ideas he championed will live on in the hearts of millions.
I pray for his family, his friends, his community, and his followers. He left behind a lasting and important legacy. And because of him, I believe more people will be moved to find purpose and peacefully fight for their freedoms, in whatever ways they can. God bless Charlie.
As a dear friend so eloquently put it: Charlie will now do his work from above, and it’s up to us to take it from here.

My 101 book, Bitcoin is For Everyone, is almost here. It’s my most important project yet: a roadmap to financial freedom in a world of broken money.
It unpacks why life keeps getting more expensive, why wages lag, and why so many feel stuck working harder for less.
Most importantly, it shows how Bitcoin offers hope and a path to lasting economic empowerment and freedom.
It’s written to be clear, relatable, and uplifting, whether you’re brand new to Bitcoin or already deep down the rabbit hole.

I had the joy of an early screening of the new Bitcoin documentary UNBANKED, co-produced and co-directed by my dear friend Lauren Sieckmann…and WOW!!!
This stunning film takes you across continents to meet people whose lives are being transformed by Bitcoin. From communities facing crushing inflation to individuals cut off from the traditional banking system, UNBANKED captures real stories of hope, resilience, and financial freedom.
It’s visually breathtaking, emotionally powerful, and a reminder of why Bitcoin matters far beyond charts and headlines. Uplifting. Inspiring. Unforgettable.
