That version is comfortable and clean and easy to explain at dinner.&#xA;&#xA;Then there’s the version you see right now.&#xA;&#xA;A war breaks out. Oil spikes. The bond market seizes. Gold rallies for a week and then stalls. And Bitcoin, the thing that every allocator said was too volatile, too speculative, too correlated to risk assets, quietly climbs 12% while the rest of the financial system tries to figure out what to do next. &#xA;&#xA;Meanwhile, people inside the war zone are using Bitcoin to move capital out of a collapsing system. Not because they read a white paper or watched a podcast or have a financial advisor. Because their banks are frozen, their currency is losing value by the day, and Bitcoin is the only network that doesn’t ask for permission. &#xA;&#xA;I think about this a lot when people ask me why I built an advisory practice around a single asset. The answer is that no other asset does what Bitcoin does when things actually break. Not gold. Not real estate. Not Treasuries. Nothing else settles globally, 24/7, without counterparty risk, under any political conditions. That matters more than volatility. It always has. </html></oembed>
