I built this site after years of sharing the same podcasts, videos, and books with anyone who asked me about Bitcoin. This is all of it, in one place.

If you would prefer one-on-one guidance, whether that is walking through your first purchase, setting up self-custody, or understanding how Bitcoin fits into your financial picture, I offer personal training sessions tailored to where you are in the journey.

"But I don't live in America. Why should I care?"
The US dollar is the world's reserve currency. Oil, gold, food, and commodities are all priced in USD. When America prints trillions, it doesn't stay in America — it exports inflation to every country that trades in dollars, holds dollar reserves, or prices goods in dollars. That's virtually everyone. Australia's superannuation, the UK's pension system, Europe's sovereign debt — all exposed to the same forces. It doesn't matter where you live. If your country touches dollars, US monetary policy is your monetary policy. This is why Bitcoin matters globally, not just in the US.

Meanwhile, the world's largest institutions are already moving. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF is now their top revenue source — holding 700,000 BTC across $76 billion in assets.¹ They see the problem. And they already know the answer.
