Not exaggerating when I say the future depends on this catching on en masse. Kids, adults. Book clubs, silent reading groups. For the past twenty-five years tech has corroded our attention, intelligence and basic pleasure in living, and books are the key to winning them back.

Respectfully…
Then you need to learn how investing works.
The best and highest-risk investments in the world generate 10%–30% CAGR per year.
Anything beyond that is abnormal returns or gambling.
Most gamblers lose everything, even after having a big win.
Until you learn how to invest and have a minimum 10-year plan, you’ll never break the debt traps of the financial industrial complex.
Gambling is not the answer.
The house always wins.
Investing is life or death for the next decade.
There is no magic bullet.

This letter perfectly explains why we must always have cash as a financial transactional option rather than relying solely on digital financial transactions.

You're allowed to be motivated by money.
Scratch that, you are motivated by money. But you hide it because your parents, teachers, and peers convinced you it was a bad thing to pursue.
You work, right now, for money, to survive.
Don't apologize for wanting to live well.

I was studying other times in history when gold prices more than doubled in the reserve currency of the time, as they did in the past year: it's rare and almost always a sign of a profound loss of confidence in the existing monetary and political order, going all the way back to the Roman empire (the so-called "Crisis of the Third Century").
And it often marked the transition from one era of power to the next: the fall of Rome, Spain's decline from world power, the French Revolution and Terror, the end of Bretton Woods, etc.
Interestingly, it's often actually as much a cause as a sign of these episodes, as this is effectively a transfer of real wealth from the poor to the rich elites who protect themselves with gold - this being what ignites the political upheaval.
The weird aspect of the current episode is the relative silence around it: we're witnessing what may be one of the great pivotal moments in financial history yet it's being barely discussed.

Central Bank Digital Currencies are being quietly developed and. piloted in many countries around the world. And when they are fully rolled out, they will be sold to the public as “convenience”. Don’t be fooled by this snake oil sales pitch. It’s all about their control.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again:
The first company to produce a cheap utilitarian car, phone, computer, and set of home appliances that just work without wifi, ads, and constant maintenance will overtake the current manufacturers in every one of their markets.

I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on.
One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.
It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.
It's actually mind boggling.

The longest duration bond ETF is now down 61% from its peak in March 2020.
Long duration + Rising interest rates from all-time lows = Pain
